What the Left Is Doing While We’re Complaining and Entertaining

Published

on

You want to know the real reason why the left is making incredible inroads into all areas of life despite the fact they have unlikable, unbelievable positions? Because they are doers. Our side may have better looking people, but that translates into we are more likely to lounge around watching political talk shows and whine. We’re the side known for having long policy conferences sitting around criticizing the problems in society. We have all these stars on our side who entertain us. Turn on right-wing TV and you feel like you’re looking at models. We have the best memes. We’re standing on street corners waving Trump signs and bragging about having the largest rallies.

In contrast, the left is out walking, knocking on doors recruiting voters, hanging out in nursing homes bringing cookies to the staff pretending they care about old people in order to get their votes. They’re doing opposition research behind the scenes. While we’re frothing at the mouth saying outrageous things to raise money and attract attention, they’re secretly watching long hours of our conferences and campaign rallies collecting our careless mistakes. One frustrated congressman told me that while he was speaking at a two hour meeting to a group of 100 activists, those 100 activists could have been out knocking on doors; 200 hours of work they could have accomplished.

The left is out there making our feeble-minded conservatives representative of the rest of us while we’re stuck reacting and trying to defend them. I have a lefty friend who brings up outrageous things that people on the right do before I’ve even heard of the person or their actions. He’ll say, “Your side is causing people to die,” or “Your side believes all these conspiracy theories that have no basis in fact,” or “Your side advocates for violence,” getting the spin out there and setting the narrative before we even know what’s going on. We gullibly fall for it, and end up spending all of our time defending the mistakes by little known or attention getting conservatives.

Yes, it’s true that what they said is free speech. But it’s a red herring. I don’t have all the answers, because yes we need to defend all free speech or they will come after the rest of us, and they already are canceling the rest of us for things that clearly weren’t merely careless or egotistical; the left canceled me last year using forgery. But always being on the defensive is not going to win the political debate, the left figured this out years ago with Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.

We wring our hands when we hear about another company turning against the right. It seems like we’re being driven out of all areas of society. But it’s actually not as bad as it seems, the left is forcing these changes; people aren’t actually all becoming leftists. As I wrote in July, despite the false rhetoric, Republicans are becoming the party of young people while Democrats the party of elderly. The left isn’t running corporations, they are engaging in targeted attacks to force the corporations to do what they want. Jesse Jackson popularized the tactics of shaking down corporations to support his agenda years ago, now it’s become mainstream on the left.

The instant the Supreme Court ruled that it was not stopping Texas’s heartbeat abortion law from going into effect, a handful of radical left-wing activists paid their social media troll factories to start bombarding relevant corporations with threats. Sure enough, a few caved. Lyft and Uber said they would pay the legal fees of drivers sued under the law. Go Daddy — where I used to be a corporate attorney — kicked off a site set up by Texas Right to Life to report those in violation of the law. Go Daddy isn’t run by monsters, they just couldn’t withstand the threats from a handful of paid trolls who have all the time in the world sitting around in their parents’ basements on George Soros money harassing the right.

The left makes up these disaster scenarios involving the right which have nothing to do with reality. They say we are trying to turn the country back to a previous era which was horrible for minorities and women but it’s not true. I addressed this fallacy in 2017. They say they are scared about what horrible things the right would do, but it’s an Orwellian argument; the left is doing horrible things to the right, stamping us out of society which has become so prevalent there’s now a phrase for it, cancel culture.

Anne Applebaum, a left-leaning writer at The Atlantic, wrote an article recently exposing the cancel culture in academia, proudly declaring that it’s not the left going after the right, because most of the professors she interviewed were middle of the road to leftist. Well the reason for this is because conservatives were driven out of academia long before the phrase cancel culture emerged! There are none left to attack, so the left is naturally imploding on itself. You can’t create a political philosophy based on promoting one group in society over another, because it goes contrary to human nature. We’re all created differently as individuals, we don’t fall solely into groups.

Now, it’s true that many of us are only in politics for entertainment, we view it as a hobby, so naturally we are going to be drawn to armchair quarterback positions watching political talk shows and yelling at the TV. And others aren’t wired to do the boring, routine work of walking door to door or painstakingly watching every minute of a boring Democrat convention and then bombarding companies with fake emails and tweets. Because most of us have high ethical standards as Christians, we shy away from bombarding companies with anonymous messages claiming to be black gay females.

It’s OK to rant. But some of this we can start doing. If you’re not going to take the steps necessary to stop the left, then don’t expect the needle to move.

How the Left’s Corruption of the Courts Imprisoned Another Republican as a Fall Guy for the 2008 Real Estate Crash

The fallout from the 2008 real estate market crash has continued for years, as Republicans languish in prison, demonized as fall guys for the big banks. When the public clamored for scalps, Democratic prosecutors pounced on conservative small business owners in the real estate industry. 

Here is a classic example of how the legal system is manipulated on the inside to target a conservative and make them the fall guy for a bigger scandal, protecting the powerful who are really responsible. Settlement agent Mark Andreotti was accused of defrauding banks out of $2.1 million in 2010 and 2011, and convicted without an opportunity to fairly defend himself during trial. 

But what was the real story, which never came out at trial? Andreotti’s former business associate, a real estate attorney, misappropriated money from business escrow accounts at a title agency. When Andreotti discovered it and confronted him, the associate promised to repay the money but never did, then he died. Incredibly, none of this information was allowed to come out at trial, but Andreotti has compiled all the evidence

It appears to show his attorney, John P. McGovern, colluded with federal prosecutors, making a deal to help “protect the credibility” of the prosecution’s key witness during trial. Andreotti recorded McGovern admitting to the “deal” several months before trial, but the Court refused to review the recording or allow Andreotti to change attorneys. 

Andreotti’s former bookkeeper was the prosecution’s key witness. McGovern could have attacked her credibility, as was his responsibility as defense counsel, to cast doubt on her testimony and invalidate numerous claims made by the prosecutors.  But something happened right after McGovern started cross-examining her. The prosecutor, Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) Shana Chen, asked to speak privately with McGovern. After that conversation, McGovern shut down the cross-examination.

Bizarrely, Andreotti was never allowed to put his accountant Steven Weiss on the stand to testify, whose testimony would have decimated the prosecution’s case. When Judge Susan Wigenton was informed that Mr. Weiss could not testify before the weekend, she responded by stating,  “We’re not waiting for him.” Strangely, Andreotti said the judge’s comment was removed from the official transcript — which is a felony if true — but Andreotti recorded his attorney talking to him about it. McGovern never filed an objection or brought the judge’s statements up in Court again. 

McGovern did not cross-examine any witness, other than basic questions without direction and which favored the prosecution. He didn’t offer Andreotti’s version or any version of events that conflicted with the prosecution. McGovern did not put any witness on the stand except for Andreotti, and he suggested that Andreotti NOT invite his family and friends to the trial.

There were other shady maneuvers done to ensure Andreotti went away for a long time. The prosecution got him removed from his home with his wife by stating that his wife had volunteered to be a witness. They accused him of obstructing justice because he’d spoken to his wife about the case. His wife, who is now his ex-wife, said she never volunteered to be a witness; the FBI “forced” her to be on the list. Ultimately, she was never prepared for trial by the prosecution or called to testify. But due to this alleged “obstruction of justice,” 30 months was added onto Andreotti’s sentence. The entire incident was bizarre considering in criminal law, spousal privilege protects a spouse from testifying against another. 

Another strange trick that was pulled on Andreotti was not allowing his bookkeeper to discuss at trial a property she bought from him, which was one of the properties where his associate had diverted funds. It would not have increased his sentence. Instead, it was brought up after he was convicted as “relevant conduct” which resulted in an enhancement to his sentence, translating to another 30 months added onto his prison sentence.

Andreotti isn’t trying to escape responsibility for the loss of the money, after all it was his business, and his mistakes. However, there was no deliberate intent to defraud, nor did he benefit from the loss. Certainly, he should not have been sentenced to 12 years in prison, which is longer than a conviction of this type would require. By comparison, Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes was sentenced to less time than Andreotti, and she defrauded investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars.

His recorded meetings with McGovern show there is collusion going on between the court-appointed attorneys and prosecutors. McGovern gets referrals from the prosecution, and in order for those referrals to keep coming, I believe he’s expected to compromise his defense of clients. When Andreotti asked McGovern if he could hire him personally, he said McGovern responded and said no, “The government is my client.” That’s why Andreotti started recording his phone calls with him. At the very least, McGovern violated ethical rules by assisting the prosecution during trial, and for failing to report this “deal.”

The legal abuses are continuing as Andreotti works on his appeal. He said the clerk has tried to dismiss his appeal three times for failure to file, but all three times has been reversed. This is concerning since it may show a pattern of dismissing allegations of fraud in order to protect the status quo. He’s had no luck reporting the prosecutors to various enforcement and prosecutorial oversight agencies, he’s usually given the excuse that his appeal is still being litigated. 

Fortunately, Andreotti was allowed to transfer to home confinement last winter due to COVID-19. He must have been low-profile enough that the left didn’t block it, in contrast to high-profile conservatives. But his family has suffered immensely. He was unable to see his mother before she died because he was in prison. 

Andreotti says, “It was the overzealous, ‘win at all costs’ attitude of the liberal prosecutors and agents of the DOJ Federal Housing Finance Office that caused them to act fraudulently.” He is just getting started on exposing the corruption.
