By Gary Bauer ~
The investigation “has not found any apparent business advantage to the types of classified information in Trump’s possession.”
Remember the raid? Heavily-armed FBI agents showed up at Mar-a-Lago in the early hours of the morning. Dozens of them entered the residence, threw Trump’s aides out of the rooms and searched every “nook & cranny.” They even went through Melania’s closet. They were looking for top-secret documents.
In the weeks that followed, the Washington Post, New York Times, and other major media published one article after another, quoting unnamed sources at the Justice Department, FBI, and intelligence services on what they found. Trump had nuclear codes! Trump was going to give classified material to Putin! Trump was going to blackmail his political enemies. Trump took the documents to sell them. On and on it went.
Fast forward to November 14th. With virtually no fanfare and no apologies, the Washington Post did a follow-up. Here’s the key quote: The investigation “has not found any apparent business advantage to the types of classified information in Trump’s possession,” nor “any nefarious effort by Trump to leverage, sell or use the government secrets.”
In other words, “never mind.”
Shame On The Senate
Something happened Wednesday that I never thought I would see. The United States Senate voted 62 to 37 to advance the (Dis)Respect for Marriage Act legalizing same-sex marriage.
Just 26 years ago, not exactly ancient history, the Senate voted 85 to 14 to protect the traditional definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The 1996 Defense of Marriage Act passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 342 to 67. It was signed into law by Democrat President Bill Clinton.
In the years that followed, the people of more than 30 states passed constitutional amendments to protect traditional marriage from being redefined by left-wing courts.
Yet, as we all know, that’s exactly what a left-wing majority of the U.S. Supreme Court did in 2015.
And now we find ourselves fighting to keep boys out of girls’ bathrooms and fighting to stop far-left teachers and doctors from pushing radical gender ideology on our children. But I digress.
So, why would the Senate pass this bill now, repealing the Defense of Marriage Act and codifying same-sex marriage into federal law?
It’s payback to the radical gay rights movement, a major Democrat voting bloc, which is demanding results from Joe Biden and their allies in Congress. They’re rushing it through now before they lose control of the House of Representatives, potentially killing the legislation in the new Congress that meets in January.
And by adding same-sex marriage to our federal laws, it increases the likelihood that the demands of the gay rights movement will trump religious liberty.
If your business is asked to participate in a same-sex wedding, some court cases provide limited protections for religious businesses and individuals. But there may be greater legal burdens once this becomes federal law.
And the intolerant left will use this law as a battering ram against men and women of faith. Prominent Democrats have threatened to strip the tax-exempt status of churches, religious schools and faith-based charities that oppose same-sex marriage.
As you know, I’m very critical of national Democrats. This is not my father’s Democrat Party. It’s not even Bill Clinton’s Democrat Party!
But the sad truth is that Senate Democrats didn’t do this by themselves. Shame on the 12 Republican senators who helped them! They are:
Roy Blunt (MO)
Richard Burr (NC)
Shelley Moore Capito (WV)
Susan Collins (ME)
Joni Ernst (IA)
Cynthia Lummis (WY)
Lisa Murkowski (AK)
Rob Portman (OH)
Mitt Romney (UT)
Dan Sullivan (AK)
Thom Tillis (NC)
Todd Young (IN)
Three of senators — Blunt, Burr and Portman — are retiring at the end of the year. This is their parting gift to the conservative voters of Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio who stood with them year after year.
As for Mitt Romney, many of us worked to elect Romney as president because he assured us privately and publicly that he believed in traditional values. He not only voted to advance this terrible legislation, he aggressively recruited more Republican Senators to vote for it.
Romney should have no future in the Republican Party.
The Left Attacks Parents
The fallout from the midterm elections hadn’t settled yet before the left lobbed another grenade in their war on family and faith. The day after the election, Rep. Eric Swalwell mocked Sen. Tim Scott’s call to put parents back in charge of their children’s education.
Swalwell tweeted, “Please tell me what I’m missing here. What are we doing next? Putting patients in charge of their own surgeries? Clients in charge of their own trials? When did we stop trusting experts? This is so stupid.”
What’s stupid is suggesting that parents and taxpayers have no role in the education of their children. But that’s today’s left. They think Big Government knows best, and they believe your kids belong to them.
But don’t take my word for it. Three days later, the National Education Association joined Swalwell’s attack on parental rights, declaring, “Educators love their students and know better than anyone what they need to learn and thrive.”
The left has corrupted public education, trapped students in failing schools, and poisoned the minds of our children for decades. It must stop! The left’s demonization of concerned parents must stop!
This is a fight conservatives should welcome. Parental rights and educational reform must be top priorities for conservatives in Congress and in state legislatures.
Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law was overwhelmingly popular. And in spite of all the huffing and puffing by the radical left and their media allies, Gov. Ron DeSantis cruised to reelection and conservatives in the state legislature fared just as well.
About Those Losses
As some in the Washington establishment continue blaming Trump for last week’s disappointing results, I want to revisit the major Senate setbacks — Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania — and provide some context to help you understand what happened and why blaming Trump is so absurd.
In Arizona, which makes extensive use of mail-in balloting, early voting started October 12th. The Republican candidate was outspent 7:1 by the incumbent Democrat, and a third-party candidate took two percent of the vote. Given those challenges, it’s remarkable that Blake Masters managed to get 46%.
In Georgia, which is going into a runoff, early voting started October 17th. The incumbent Democrat outspent Herschel Walker 3:1, and a third-party candidate took two percent of the vote, which denied Walker an outright win.
In Nevada, which also makes extensive use of mail-in ballots, early voting started October 22nd. The Democrat incumbent outspent Adam Laxalt by 3:1, and wasted votes on independent candidates also cost him the election.
In Pennsylvania, the candidates were more closely matched in fundraising, but Fetterman still outspent Oz by $17 million. Early voting started in September, and more than 600,000 votes had already been cast before Fetterman’s disastrous debate.
The obvious point is that in each case there were other factors that seriously impacted the outcome. Early voting is killing us. The left’s fundraising machine is massive.
Lastly, I understand that turnout falls in midterm elections. That needs to stop — especially among conservatives who should understand how much is at stake.
Two years ago, Donald Trump got 74 million votes. This year, House Republicans got 53 million votes. That means millions of conservatives just didn’t bother to vote this year.
Overconfidence or apathy is a big reason why November 8th was such a disappointment. And you can’t blame that on Donald Trump.

I’ll assume that your question about my attitude and opinions is a sincere one, so…. I’m a retired physician, age 70, red-pilled at age 17 (1969), preparing a Senior H.S. paper for my U.S. History class professor, when I discovered the truth about the Pearl Harbor false flag attack used by FDR, Stark, Hull, esp., to get us into WWII through Japan’s Tripartite Treaty with Germany and Italy (thumbnail). Changed my attitude and views about the MSM and the govt about everything. I’ve spent the last 53 years studying the Matrix, learning about it and trying to avoid being trapped in it. It hasn’t been a lot of fun, but I learned a lot … even still, I wasn’t prepared to see and experience what I did with C-1984.
The large majority of my medically-oriented (10 or more doctors, nurses, PhDs, masters-degreed, health-care workers) mostly Christian / “Christian” family of nearly 70 people (3 generations) was and still is for the most part ignorant and caught up in the mass formation psychosis and brain-washing psy-op brought down upon the world ~3 yrs ago. And the virtue-signaling of a number of the medical members of the family was both horrifying (bc of what it meant w/rt their proudly in-toxin-cating their kids) and nauseating.
I was basically ostracized for my one attempt to try to warn them back in Sept, 2020, that it wasn’t about a virus and to stay away from the toxxines. I trained in rheumatology and immunology at the cleveland clinic back in the 80s, so I of all people in my extended family understood about immunity, vaxes, and these toxic shots, etc. Didn’t matter. TV / MSM didn’t agree with me, nor did Dr Fraudci, nor Dr Scarf Lady, nor did the Centers for Disease Creation and Profiteering, nor the Fast-tracking Drug-profits Administration, etc. So I was wrong and very much not appreciated.
I received only two responses. One of my silicon valley – centered brothers scolded me for including his “children” in the distribution of the email I sent out … they had wanted to respond to me and flame me out, but he “spent HOURS calming them down!” He berated me and asked me in no uncertain terms to never send them such an email again, only to him. Oh, BTW, his “children” at the time were a 30 yo M.D., a Masters of Science 27 yo, and a 19 yo. He remains as he always has been my poster-child of AI (Arrogant Ignorance).
But even my younger brother next after me (I’m 2 of 7 … 6 boys and then a girl… dad was also a M.D.), a cardiologist, when I tried a year or so b4 c1984 to talk with him about the corruption in the medical system at its highest and “official” levels, was totally offended and cut me off, saying, “John, you will never convince me of that, so don’t even try!” Such amazingly arrogant ignorance (“I know everything I need to know about it, and if I don’t know it or down believe it, then it’s either not true or it’s not important”) from such an otherwise humble, pious man! And he and my other M.D. brother after him both recommended to the rest of the family to get the toxxines! And I’ll stop there with that rather large thumbnail sketch.

Well, thank you. It’s not an easy road.
Many famed writers said something to this effect, that it’s easier to make people believe a lie, than to convince them that they’ve been lied to.
I pity the mentally impoverished kids who have been brainwashed in our Gov’t schools. That’s sad!
Thank you and have a good day.

RE “mass formation psychosis”
The official framing of the mass formation (or mass psychosis) “phenomenon” is misleading and wrong in terms of what the whole true reality is. The false hope-addicted psychologists and their acolytes want you to believe this is “just some temporary occasional” madness by the masses when it is but a spike of a CHRONIC madness going on for aeons with “civilized” people — read “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room –The Holocaustal Covid-19 Coronavirus Madness: A Sociological Perspective & Historical Assessment Of The Covid “Phenomenon”” …. https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html
One of these mainstream psychologists who have been spreading this whitewashed reality, Dr. Desmet, also fails to see that the PLANNED Covid Psyop is a TOTALLY deliberate ploy because he doesn’t think (after more than 1 year, even 2 years, into this total PLANNED scam!) it’s ALL intentionally sinister as he stated in a prior podcast (this makes him witting or unwitting controlled opposition). It should be apparent that Desmet’s lack of truth-telling is then also present in his largely plagiarized truth-distorting mass formation theory.
In the May of 2022 podcast with James Corbett he stated that “some people tend to overestimate the degree of planning and intentions” (behind the COUNTLESS, VERIFIABLE, FULLY INTENTIONAL, FULLY PLANNED atrocities by the ruling tribe of psychopaths over the last century alone) and see all of it as being planned which Desmet called “an extreme position” … Sound logical thinking is “extreme” and therefore false and sick in his demented delusional view!
In his overpriced misleading whitewashing old material regurgitated book the psychology of totalitarianism he too states that “There are countless … examples that seem to point in the direction of a plan being implemented, such as the fact that the definition of ‘pandemic’ was adjusted shortly before the coronavirus crisis; that the definition of ‘herd immunity’ was changed during the crisis, implying that only vaccines can achieve it … [he continuous with several other obvious facts of an ENTIRELY PLANNED event, especially discerned through the totality of all these facts].” “SEEM to point in the direction of a plan”??? No! They most evidently, clearly, and irrefutably DO demonstrate and prove it IS a COMPLETELY AND FULLY DELIBERATE PlanDemic! A big scam. An Entirely Planned Holocaust against the non-ruling herd of people (see cited link above). A coherent 12-year old kid can figure that out. But not Mr. I’m entitled to teach my deep wisdom to the world professor.
It clearly shows Desmet’s own complete lunacy. But because almost everyone in the culture is a member of mass formation (madness), including the “woke” people of the alternative media domain, hardly anyone recognizes Desmet’s lunacy. Not surprising that he has even become some type of popular “guru” among the adherents of the alternative media landscape and his whitewashed fake narrative strongly resonates with both mainstream people and alternative mainstream folks.
“All experts serve the state and the media and only in that way do they achieve their status. Every expert follows his master, for all former possibilities for independence have been gradually reduced to nil by present society’s mode of organization. The most useful expert, of course, is the one who can lie. With their different motives, those who need experts are falsifiers and fools. Whenever individuals lose the capacity to see things for themselves, the expert is there to offer an absolute reassurance.” —Guy Debord
As expected, “useful expert” Desmet has been also advocating and pushing the false misleading dogma-based non-scientific holy mantra of trust the official science … “everything and everyone should follow the scientific consensus” [ https://archive.ph/9QRmw ] — meaning trust and follow the fabricated fraudulent official consensus science behind the Covid jabs that the killing of millions of people around the world is based on(!!). Are you STILL wondering whom he’s wittingly or unwittingly serving? That’s why it’s no wonder he’s been heavily popularized globally by the dominant psychopathic world instead of censored and suppressed (as lots of truth-tellers have been), yet in his crafty stylish total hypocrisy and public misdirection ploy, he wants you to buy his belief that everyone should have a voice. Everyone BUT the true truth-tellers is what the reality is.
With his SUPPORT of the Covid holocaust-driving official consensus science he OKAYS and PROMOTES the idiotic herd Covid mass formation (they way the masses “think” and act)! Yet in his absurdity, irrationality and lunacy, with his mass formation/mass psychosis notion he frames the problem as the public being a mere unaccountable non-culpable victim in this phenomenon (the gist of the circular argument is: the masses should change their thinking but they got brainwashed so they’re victims). Nothing could be further from the truth (see first referenced source above).
With his false use of language Desmet also obscures or hides the true reality instead of directly and uncompromising exposing it — aiding the obfuscation of the vital reality of what the ruling authorities really are. He speaks of ‘the elite’ (as he does in a number of podcasts) when, in reality, they are THE SCUM OF HUMANS because they are REALITY-VERIFIED PSYCHOPATHS (see referenced source above). Yet in the Corbett podcast he “teaches” us that we, the masses, need to start thinking differently. Right… how about YOU start with sane instead of insane thinking/talking/”teaching”/etc, Dr. Desmet?
How do self-styled “truth-tellers” wake up the masses to the so-called truth when they THEMSELVES use lies with their deceitful fake language???
No one is “teaching” or “waking up” the ignorant masses to the CORE truths with lies, with the official “language of lies” (see first cited source above).
This all means Desmet is ALSO a member of the masses of lunatics, an ACTIVE CARD-CARRYING MEMBER of mass formation!!! When, if at all, will he wake up from his state of mass psychosis, his “invisible” stupidity? When, if at all, will he face the TRUE and FULL reality instead of hiding behind fantasies such as his whitewashed “reality” of human civilization?
It shows we live in a global mental asylum with criminal and/or delusional mainstream psychologists, scientists, and docs as the guards, “teachers” and “therapists” … The blind/criminal/mad leading the blind/criminal/mad; the blind/criminal/mad adhere to the blind/criminal/mad = the human madhouse.
In October of 2022, once a few people caught onto his public-misdirecting game he took no responsibility for it but dishonestly and conveniently framed himself as the victim of frivolous attacks against him — https://archive.ph/9QRmw
Desmet is right in that truth-activists must fight against mass formation psychosis (human madness). That also means exposing HIS deeply destructive mad part of it. This comment serves, in part, that objective.

” the PLANNED Covid Psyop is a TOTALLY deliberate ploy … it’s ALL intentionally sinister” — totally agree. I’ve tried to cull the baby from the bath water nearly drowning it in Desmet’s (“plagiarized” … as you say) descriptions and analyses. Ie, his descriptions have some utility, but, as you state / imply, they lose their usefulness in his attempts, or his apparent attempts, to make what has happened anything but what you so clearly state has been a massively criminal, with malice aforethought, global enterprise attack on humanity that is as satanic as can be imagined.

And I see absolutely no mention of election fraud in your comments about what happened. That means, Gary, that you speak in a box limited by your opinions, not by facts. You think you’re being a “good person” … a good “Christian” … by not bringing up or even considering that massive amount of obvious criminal fraud? The mail-in and early ballots were some of the tools used to commit the fraud. You make it all about money and demo “get-out-the-vote” campaigns.
Your limited vision and trust in your knowledge of the truth is a big part of the problem with evangelical Christians today — arrogant ignorance and/or avoidance of facts that make them uncomfortable or that they’ve been “taught” is “unChristian” to speak about. They think they “know” when they don’t, yet they speak as though they are possessors of all knowledge simply because they are Christians. Big. Big. Problem.

Hi afc999,
Thank you for commenting.
If you read carefully to the end of Gary Bauer’s article you’ll see that he does write about the fraud plus other important issues like mail in ballots.
In his other articles he does go into more detail about Voter fraud.
So let us all, Including ME, be a bit kinder in judging others. It’s hard to do in these trying times, but with the Grace of God, we can do and be better.
Please visit and comment more.
Have a good, and Blessed Day!

I read it “all the way to the end” twice, and then re-checked — no mention of election fraud. Point it/them out, please. Maybe he mentions it elsewhere as you say, but not here.
No doubt I’m on edge because of the sudden appearance of all the pseudo-MAGAs that came out of the woodwork during the aftermath of another fraudulent election, pounding on Trump because of the supposed lack of a “red wave.” But that “edge” has been built up over the past nearly 3 years because of so many ignorant, and often arrogantly ignorant, Christians in particular in my life who know just about nothing about what’s going on and often don’t even want to, including not just fraudulent elections, but the whole c-1984 plandemic tyranny and the genocidal toxic shots.
Kindness is good, as you say, but even Jesus called out in no uncertain terms the pseudo-religious vipers of his day and Paul the hypocrite-of-the-moment Peter. As a whole the Christian church has been absent in this ongoing fight against the rich and powerful and essentially satanic group behind all this evil that seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. I’m not saying Gary is a hypocrite, but the article was a disappointment for the reason I stated. The truth cannot be watered down to be effective. And the Church, which is supposed to be the salt & light of this world has for the most part lost its savor and hidden its light inside wooden and concrete boxes called “churches.”

Hi again afc999,
You are so correct. After thinking about it and rechecking Gary’s article I was going to say the same thing as you did. Gary and others have hit the fake election results of a fake Marxist-Socialist democrat prezident in earlier articles.
(I had to rewrite this after a glitch in which my previous comment was deleted. Maybe go ogle O.S. did it)
[On an aside: Did you know that Apple And Google use Linux as their base for their proprietary Operating Systems?
We’re going back to Linux ourselves for our phones, and computers. It’s free and teamed up with Duckduckgo.com 🦆 for their unbiased and safe search engine and their new Browser it’ll be the safest, best and easiest to use.
We have used Linux-Ubuntu O. S. for years, since shortly after MS came out with Windows 98, and until my major illnesses.]
I agree with all you have stated so far.
How did you get this attitude and opinions? I thought you were a youngster but now I think either you are a bit older or that you’ve read the true History of Communist Russia’s Lenin and Stalin and Hitler and his NAZI Germany.
The socialist – Democrats are following their playbook, here and around the world.
Thanks again for commenting.
Keep up the good work!
