Dear Trump
“Historians ought to think twice” about “endorsing” allegations of stolen elections. Sound advice. And the advice applies to non-historians, particularly media pundits and politicians.
This brings us to the 2016 election in which the upstart Trump, not taken seriously by Democrats and most of the media, defeated the heavy favorite Hillary Clinton, whose chance of winning The New York Times on Election Day pegged at 85%.

Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson testified before Congress that the Russians, despite their efforts, failed to change a single vote tally. As to the Russian election interference, largely through ads and posts on Facebook, Johnson called it unknowable whether this altered public opinion or the outcome of the election.
Yet two years later, a 2018 YouGov poll found 66% of Democrats believe that Russia in 2016 changed vote tallies. And a 2018 Gallup poll found 78% of Democrats believe that the Russian 2016 interference “changed the outcome of the election.” This means a greater percentage of Democrats believe the 2016 election was stolen than Republicans who felt that way about 2020.
Nearly 25% of the Democrat congressional delegation refused to attend Trump’s inauguration. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., one of the most respected members of the House, called Trump’s election “illegitimate,” a charge Lewis reiterated months before he died. Former President Jimmy Carter said: “I think a full investigation would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election, and he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf.” Hillary Clinton routinely called the election “stolen” and President Trump “illegitimate.”
Yet Republicans -- and the mainstream media -- did not call Clinton, Carter, Lewis and the Democrats who boycotted Trump’s inauguration “election deniers.” The First Amendment gives losers, with or without evidence, the right to complain without fear of prosecution, let alone persecution.
Notably, Hillary Clinton has been silent about Trump’s indictment. Why? She likely does not want to remind the country that she clearly violated the Espionage Act with her basement server but skated because the FBI’s James Comey said she lacked the “intent” to violate the statute -- though her violation does not require intent.
About Trump’s indictment over hush money payments, two can play the rouge prosecutor game. There are republican DAs and attorneys general, too. In the movie “Tora! Tora! Tora!” about the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”

Breaking: Latest Advanced Placement U.S. History (APUSH) Textbooks Are Brainwashing The American Youth With Anti-Trump Narratives
The War on n minds continues to seep its way into every crevice of society. Most importantly and strategically, in public schools.
Governments and their leaders know, that when you direct the minds of young people, you can control a generation.
Adolf Hitler most famously said, “He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.”
The government wants to mold and shape your child’s mind.
That is currently happening in some United States public schools and the textbooks they are assigning to students.
According to an investigative report from conservative journalist Greg Price, Advanced Placement U.S. History (APUSH) textbooks are covering the White House term of former President Donald Trump in an extremely biased way.
Price laid out several instances of very inductee coverage of former President Donald Trump’s term in office, in some of the country’s most-used history textbooks.
Human Event’s Jack Posobiec even discussed Price’s revelations during a segment of his show on “Real ’s Voice.”
In Price’s shocking article, he revealed that “nearly all” of the textbooks he reviewed blamed “Russian meddling” for Trump’s 2016 election win, despite the myth being debunked years ago, even by people and outlets on the left.
The textbooks also leave out details of the TrumpRussia media narrative, the Steele Dossier, and the FBI’s unprecedented FISA abuses.
Price wrote:
“In the section on the 2016 election, the authors describe Donald Trump as a “sexual predator” without going into specifics of the uncorroborated allegations against him (such as the lady who said “rape is sexy”) while describing Bill Clinton, accused of rape and sexual assault by multiple women, as merely “dogged” by scandal.”
“Paula Jones, Kathleen Wiley, and Juanita Broaddrick also go without mention. “
There is a textbook written by a Columbia University historian, and he shows extreme bias when mentioning the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and former Democrat President Bill Clinton.
When covering the Clarence Thomas conformation, the textbook says, “sexual misconduct by public officials had a long history” while ignoring the noncredible parts of Anita Hill’s allegations against Thomas. One example is that Hill followed Thomas from his staff at the Department of Education to his new job at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The writer mentions that Donald Trump’s “numerous affairs” would have “destroyed the prospects of a more conventional candidate.”
However, in his coverage of former President Bill Clinton, he does not use the words “sexual misconduct” and leaves out any mention of his accusers.
Price mentioned in his Substack article that e reached out to all of the authors of the books for comments. He said, “I asked them about what the false narratives and editorializing they incorporated into their books meant for high school students to learn about n history.”
He said that none have replied to him. Governments increasingly do not want people to think for themselves, and even more so young people.
Joost Meerloo, a psychoanalyst and expert in techniques of mass and individual brainwashing, said”
“The man who has no mind of his own can easily become the pawn of a would-be dictactor.”
And that is exactly what our government would like us to be. A pawn to their schemes.
However, we do not have to allow this to happen to our children, or ourselves.
We can “live not by lies” as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, author of the Gulag Archipelago, said.
“It will not be an easy path, perhaps, but it is the easiest among those that lie before us. Not an easy choice for the body, but the only one for the soul. No, not an easy path, but then we already have among us people, dozens even, who have for years abided by all these rules, who live by the truth.”
“And so: We need not be the first to set out on this path, Ours is but to join! The more of us set out together, the thicker our ranks, the easier and shorter will this path be for us all! If we become thousands—they will not cope, they will be unable to touch us. If we will grow to tens of thousands—we will not recognize our country!”
