   under-assault/   
      
   We are in the midst of one of the most radical revolutions in American   
   history. It is as far-reaching and dangerous as the turbulent years of the   
   1850s and 1860s or the 1930s.   
      
   Every aspect of American life and culture is under assault, including the   
   very processes by which we govern ourselves, and the manner in which we   
   live.   
      
   The Revolution began under the Obama administration that sought to divide   
   Americans into oppressed and oppressors, and then substitute race for   
   class victimization.   
      
   It was empowered by the bicoastal wealth accrued from globalization, and   
   honed during the COVID lockdown, quarantine-fed economic downturn, and the   
   George Floyd riots and their aftermath.   
      
   The Revolution was boosted by fanatic opposition to the presidency of   
   Donald Trump.   
      
   And the result is an America that is unrecognizable from what it was a   
   mere decade ago.   
      
   Here are 10 upheavals that the Left has successfully wrought.   
      
   1. FREE EXPRESSION   
   In large swatches of American society — particularly the corporation, the   
   media, the government, the public schools, and the university — it is   
   suddenly dangerous to speak freely.   
      
   At a DEI workshop, politely object that “whiteness” does not account for   
   all the challenges of “marginalized peoples,” and you will become either   
   ostracized, reprimanded, or perhaps fired.   
      
   Suggest to a class that man-made climate change and the state remedies for   
   it, are still under debate — and your career and livelihood are   
   endangered. In 2020, state that COVID lockdowns would do more eventual   
   damage than the virus—and your career was through.   
      
   Express doubt that there are more than two biological sexes, and if an   
   athlete or high school principal you will be shunned or rendered   
   professionally inert.   
      
   The government, in league with social media, censors the news. “Liberal”   
   universities often first require McCarthy-era type “diversity” statements   
   for one to be hired.   
      
   Commissars review syllabi to spot incorrect or improper speech or   
   insufficient DEI zeal.   
      
   The Left now seeks to modify the First Amendment, and its empowerment of   
   “hate speech,” defined as most anything impeding the progressive project.   
      
   The state and the universities properly issue word lists of approved   
   vocabularies.   
      
   The old ACLU or Sen. Church Committee would now probably be deemed   
   rightwing.   
      
   The methodologies of Joseph McCarthy and J. Edgar Hoover are the preferred   
   models, once they were rebooted to the right cause.   
      
   2. THE WEAPONIZATION OF JUSTICE   
   Administrations and their efforts to stock the justice department with   
   supporters come and go.   
      
   But in the last decade the Left has viewed the Department of Justice as a   
   political extension of the party — whose unchecked power must properly be   
   directed to hurt enemies and help friends.   
      
   No wonder Eric Holder described himself as Obama’s “wingman” and became   
   the first Attorney General to be held in contempt for ignoring a   
   congressional subpoena.   
      
   Never in U.S. history have the Department of Justice and sympathetic state   
   and local prosecutors indicted a leading opposition candidate and likely   
   nominee of one of the two major parties, and at the beginning of a   
   presidential campaign.   
      
   Donald Trump is currently charged with nearly 100 felonies by at least two   
   prosecutors.   
      
   He likely eventually will be hit with more than 500 indictments, from four   
   prosecutors, every one of the latter with a long record of either leftwing   
   associations or Democratic service.   
      
   The mass murderer Charles Manson faced less legal exposure.   
      
   No one believes Trump would have been indicted on such counts — most of   
   them involving allegations from years past — were he not running for   
   President.   
      
   One count that Donald Trump is not charged with is bribery, or taking   
   money while in office, a crime cited as impeachable in the Constitution   
   and germane to the accusations that Joe Biden and his family raked in   
   millions from foreign governments due to the improper use of his prior   
   Vice Presidency.   
      
   For what reason did Joe Biden lie that he never discussed his son’s   
   business? Why did Hunter complain to his daughter that Joe demanded half   
   of his own grifting income?   
      
   Why would a Vice President serially call disreputable American grifters   
   and foreign corrupt oligarchs? Can Joe’s lifestyle ever be reconciled with   
   his reported income?   
      
   Given such asymmetry in the application of the laws, conservative or even   
   apolitical Americans are apprehensive that any political prominence will   
   draw the attention of government in effort to either indict or bankrupt   
   them with legal expenses.   
      
   The last four FBI Directors have either admitted they lied under oath, or   
   preposterously under oath claimed ignorance or amnesia about events   
   directly under their control.   
      
   Or they simply stonewalled subpoenas and testimonies about alleged FBI   
   crimes.   
      
   The former CIA Director admitted to lying twice under oath.   
      
   The FBI hired social media corporations to suppress election-cycle news   
   deemed unhelpful to the Left.   
      
   The agency, along with Democratic operatives, helped hatch the election-   
   cycle conspiracy of the 2015-2016 Russian-Collusion hoax, and the 2020   
   Russian disinformation laptop hoax.   
      
   The FBI played a central role in many of the 2024 indictments. In other   
   words, the FBI along with the DOJ, has sought to warp three presidential   
   elections in a row.   
      
   On the prompt of a Joe Biden campaign official (and now Secretary of   
   State) and a former interim CIA director, 50 former intelligence officials   
   lied to the electorate that an authentic but incriminating Biden computer   
   was a likely Russian plant—a fact known to be lie but not disclosed as   
   such by the FBI.   
      
   3. THE ATTACK ON THE SUPREME COURT   
      
   Once the Court achieved a more or less predictable conservative majority,   
   the Left sought to diminish it in a variety of ways. It has called for   
   packing the Court with leftist jurists to create a new 15-justice bench.   
      
   Leftist law professors in the Ivy League, in neo-Confederate nullification   
   and insurrectionary style, call for the nation to ignore Court rulings on   
   abortion and affirmative action.   
      
   The Senate minority leader led a throng to the doors of the court,   
   threatening justices by name: “You have released the whirlwind, and you   
   will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with   
   these awful decisions.”   
      
   Protestors now mob the homes of individual justices hoping to intimidate   
   them and alter their upcoming opinions—confident that the Department of   
   Justice will exempt them from any legal consequences of such felonious   
   behavior.   
      
   The media routinely accuses conservative justices of improper or illegal
