Biden’s ‘Right Wing Extremist’ Delusion: Were Capitol Police Officers set up and then abandoned?
“I hate deception, even where the imagination only is concerned.” —George Washington (1779)
The Senate released its 127-page “bipartisan report” on the January 6th Capitol protest, some of which devolved into violent confrontations between U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) and rioters. The report lays most of the blame for unpreparedness on the USCP, which is not where most of the responsibility should be placed.
Until that report was released yesterday, here is what we have known to be the indisputable truth about that protest, and how Democrats did what they do best — used it as political fodder to advance their statist agenda.
On that unfortunate January day, after former President Donald Trump held a rally down the road, some outlying miscreants at that rally, spurred on by conspiracy theory luminaries, unlawfully entered the Capitol building to disrupt the Electoral College process. A few of those protesters tangled with police, but most trespassed in the building without causing harm or damage.

Abraham Lincoln and the Misinterpretation of American History
The Federalist online magazine has a problem. It’s a condition that characterizes and infects almost the entirety of the present national conservative media.
This hit home for me on May 31, in an essay by Leslie McAdoo Gordon. Founded in 2013 by Ben Domenech, thefederalist.com it is not connected to The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies, which is composed of conservatives and libertarians dedicated to reforming the current legal order.
I read thefederalist.com Webzine almost every day, and occasionally it is the source for items of value and good information. But Gordon’s ill-informed attack on Confederate iconography was not one of them.

What is the Southern tradition worth to you?
Dear Friends of the Abbeville Institute:
Most of us read websites on a daily basis, including the Abbeville Institute. Many of us also enjoy podcasts as an alternative to the vanilla mainstream "political" talk show programs on the radio. The Week in Review at the Abbeville Institute is hopefully on your list.
The website and our podcast form the core of our mission to explore what is true and valuable in the Southern tradition. We refocused our energy in April 2014 and created a new website and mission: give our readers a nearly "daily dose of Dixie." We made this decision before the 2015 Charleston shooting, the 2017 Charlottesville event, and the 2020 "Summer of Love" because we anticipated things were only going to get worse for the Southern tradition.
We were right. "Conservatives" quickly joined the chorus of those who wanted to take down Confederate symbols. While some have softened their stance, most have not. They want to draw the line at Washington and Jefferson but don't understand that those men, too, will eventually be targeted for destruction, if not already. These "conservatives" are finally starting to realize that America itself is under attack, and the Southern tradition, which has long served as a counterweight to the headlong rush toward barbarism is the low hanging fruit. Once it has been fully destroyed, the cultural Marxists will take aim at anything left of traditional American society.
We also believe that the Southern tradition still has value in modern American society, and our articles on Southern culture, literature, politics, history, music, art, and so much more are intended to provide an alternative to the destructive tendencies of the modern Left. They seek to destroy. We seek to understand.
None of this is free. We don't have the assets of our better funded opponents on both the left and the right. Large "conservative" think tanks like Heritage Foundation and leftist organizations like the SPLC dwarf our resources. But we do have something neither has: good dedicated people willing to stand up for what they believe, even when it isn't popular.
If you enjoy our website, podcast, conferences, videos, books and other projects, please consider a tax deductible donation to the Abbeville Institute. If everyone on this email list donated $5 a month, we would have the financial firepower to fight back in ways that would make our opponents tremble. It would be our rebel yell. We'll gladly accept more if you are inclined and able to give, but our mission can only be sustained by your generous contributions.
Our common cause is for the future, not just of the South, but of America.

Sincerely,
- All of us at Abbeville Institute

The armed forces are now a vehicle for the advancement of an agenda of social justice.

With a culture built on the tenet of good order and discipline, ourarmed forces have always been respected for their capability in defending freedom and our national interests. However, we haven’t gone toe to toe in a conflict with a state actor in the 30 years since the Gulf War and, in that time, our Department of Defense has changed dramatically, transforming into just another failing government organization preoccupied with advancing progressive ideology.
Military servicemembers operate under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which means they are subject to a system of law that is stricter than average citizens are governed by. For example, while adultery is generally not illegal for civilians, adulterous servicemembers may be punished by fines and jail time. Likewise, the rules and regulations that determine what constitutes “good order and discipline” can simply be altered by executive order or with the stroke of a pen. And, unless the order is deemed unlawful or immoral, our troops are required to carry on without insubordination.

Ohio AG Dave Yost Files Lawsuit to Declare Google a Public Utility
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has filed a lawsuit asking the court to declare Google a public utility, which would subject the Masters of the Universe to government regulation.
The Hill reports that Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost (R) on Tuesday filed a lawsuit asking the court to declare tech giant Google a public utility. If Google is declared a public utility, the company would become subject to government regulation.
Yost’s complaint was filed in Delaware County Court and alleges that the Silicon Valley titan has used its dominance as a search engine to prioritize its own products and services over “organic search results” in a way that “intentionally disadvantages competitors.”
Yost said in a statement: “Google uses its dominance of internet search to steer Ohioans to Google’s own products–that’s discriminatory and anti-competitive. When you own the railroad or the electric company or the cellphone tower, you have to treat everyone the same and give everybody access.”

Trump Pledges to Campaign Against Murkowski in Alaska: She Shares Blame for ANWR Shutdown
Former President Donald Trump announced Monday that he plans to travel to Alaska to campaign against Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s re-election.
“Senator Lisa Murkowski has cost the great people of Alaska billions and billions of dollars by voting for Radical Left Biden appointees, which in turn led to the revocation of ANWR drilling,” Trump said in a statement. “Alaskans have been fighting to see [this] happen for six decades.”
“Not only did Murkowski kill the biggest economic stimulant for the State, but also one of the biggest energy producing sites in the world,” he continued. “Nobody thought ANWR could be opened. We got it done, and she allowed it to be killed.
