    The gravy train keeps flowing for Congresswoman Cori 'Defund The Police' Bush's (D-MO) bodyguard hubby. A new report indicates that he has received thousands of dollars for private security and "wage expenses" from Bush's campaign. Yet, he allegedly doesn't have the proper authorization for such services in either St. Louis or Washington, D.C.

    Fox News reported Sunday that Bush's campaign has paid her husband, Courtney Merrits, $30,000 so far in 2023. That's on top of the $60,000 her campaign sent him in 2022, per Fox.

    What exactly does he do? Well, it's hard to say.

    Bush's team didn't answer any questions from Fox about what sort of protection Merritts is providing since he isn't in D.C.'s official security specialists database - nor does he have a license in Bush's home district in Missouri.

    Bush has also doled out $62,000 to a group of St. Louis-based PEACE Security officers in 2023. Bush has infamously denigrated the police as racists. Yet, PEACE is made up of many individuals with law enforcement or military experience, the outlet noted. She also paid another gentleman more than $140,000 over the past year and a half for "security."

    For her part, she is one of the last remaining members of Congress, let alone the Democratic Party, who maintains that "Defunding the Police" is a sound policy. Defund the Police movements, as Daily Wire readers know well, have led to rising crime and lawlessness in cities across the country.

    The congresswoman also supports heavy gun control. In 2021, when the press asked her about her security services spending, Bush was adamant that she needed to be protected by firearms.

    "You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die? You know because that could be the alternative," Bush said.

    When the St. Louis representative isn't calling to leave the average American unarmed, she's demanding reparations.

    "The Declaration of Independence was written by enslavers and didn't recognize Black people as human," Bush tweeted on July 4. "Today is a great day to demand Reparations Now."

    As readers can tell, she's a real charmer whose convictions are as strong as her persuasive rhetoric ... Or maybe that's just what her husband tells her in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars from campaign funds.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?
  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.
  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.
  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?
  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.
  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.
  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.
  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.
