On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, language is critical in shaping societal discourse, it’s divided into positive and negative categories. Positive language uplifts, promoting free societies, free speech, and healthy dialogue, rooted in Judeo-Christian values and individual liberty. Negative language, prevalent in media like the Sunday news shows, involves sloganeering, name-calling, and propaganda to suppress dissent and control thought, often tied to coercive power in Marxist, Islamist, or totalitarian regimes. The media and the Democratic Party today push organized propaganda, aiming to control culture and society. Democrats and the media have been lying about President Biden's mental and physical capabilities to maintain power, using totalitarian propaganda techniques like manipulation, deception, and repetition. Democrats praised Biden’s sharpness and focus, which contradicts observable reality, as part of a strategy to bully the public into accepting their narrative. Also, the Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision, allowed the Trump administration to remove protected status for 350,000 to 530,000 Venezuelans, enabling their deportation. The Court found the Biden administration misused protected status laws by granting it broadly without proper case-by-case evaluations, which are meant for those with legitimate fears of returning home. Justice Brown-Jackson dissented, while a separate 7-2 ruling limited another immigration statute, showing mixed Court outcomes. Later, there was a vast conspiracy by the Biden administration, mainstream media, academia, and the Marxist-leaning Democratic Party to maintain power by controlling language, thought, press, and information, akin to tactics used in totalitarian regimes. This was a deliberate assault on individual rights and civil society, involving a cover-up of President Biden’s physical and mental health issues, including a possible cancer diagnosis during his presidency. Democrats were complicit in concealing Biden’s condition while simultaneously attempting to destroy Donald Trump through legal battles and indictments to ensure Biden’s path to power. Afterward, Qatar cannot be considered an ally due to its role as a hub for terrorism. It funded the 9/11 attacks alongside Saudi Arabia, supported Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and financed Hamas, thus contributing to the October 7 attack.
