Left-wing liberals are the people who are trying to remove "under God" from the
Pledge of Allegiance. They're
the ones who want to remove the Ten Commandments, and all other references to God, from
public buildings. They are trying to force
the Boy Scouts to allow
homosexual Scoutmasters. Liberals are pushing for same-sex marriage and
same-sex adoption rights in every state.
Most normal, average everyday people don't want America to become a godless, amoral
Socialist state. Except in a few states on the east and west coasts, and some parts of
Minnesota, the average American does not think the way liberals think. Liberals are
completely out of step with mainstream America, and they must rely on subterfuge to
win arguments.
Everything
Is Worse and You Are Just Supposed to Take It. You are asking for too much, you terrible person. You want
cheap gas and a functioning supply chain, air conditioning and not to eat bugs. But most of all, you expect the elite
to actually do its job, and for that, you are terrible. And racist. Bums litter our streets figuratively
and — in ghastly form — literally. Criminals run rampant unmolested by the gendarmes, who have
been told — expressly and impliedly — to let the crooks be. Our economy is sensational, groovy,
glorious — except for the inflation and the hollowing out of your 401K. Try to buy a house instead of
renting — just try. The globalist elite has failed in doing what we want, but it seems to be doing what it
wants. It is gathering power and payoffs unto itself, and that is precisely the goal.
The
Creepy Weirdness Of Democrats Is Best Understood When They Talk About Law Enforcement. Nothing captures just
how bizarre and unearthly Democrats have become than when they get to talking about police and law enforcement. (Their
fixation with gender bending is a close second.) It would honestly do them a lot of good to just stop discussing the
issue altogether. You can see it on their faces how hard it is to articulate simple concepts like, "criminals should be
in jail," or, "police deserve respect." They would rather complicate the issue by talking about the history of slavery,
"disadvantaged communities," and — my favorite — systemic oppression. All the data show that
across the board, regardless of race, the overwhelming majority of police and civilian interactions are fine; that minorities
call on cops for help at a far higher rate than whites; and that the chance of an unarmed black man being killed by police is
next to nonexistent (and when such an incident does occur, it's because he was resisting arrest or attempting to flee in a
life-threatening, high-speed chase). But liberals refuse to leave it alone, instead writhing in pain as they try to find
some existential problem with our law enforcement.
Rob
Reiner [is] Ridiculed for Claiming Biden Is [the] Best President in Almost 60 Years. Rob Reiner has made many
wild and unsubstantiated claims on Twitter. On Friday, he managed to top himself by declaring that Joe Biden is the
best president in nearly 60 years. The result has been widespread ridicule, with the term "Meathead" trending on
Twitter late Friday. [...] In recent weeks, Reiner has been one of Hollywood's biggest cheerleaders for the January 6 show
trial, ginning up enthusiasm for the ratings-challenged broadcasts and denouncing former President Donald Trump at nearly
every opportunity.
Are
the Woke Morally Superior? Defeating Wokeism isn't merely a political, legal, or even cultural battle. We
must also address what ultimately fuels Wokeness on a personal level: a delusional sense of moral superiority because it's
that moral superiority that is the vehicle for the left's real power grab. Are the Woke, in fact, morally
superior? If you ask them, they certainly are. [...] The Wokesters' caricatures of us are delusional, although they
can't see that. Our world is much wider than the simplistic, grade-school worldview they've invented. Ultimately,
Wokeism is a con game — a grift they've deliberately engineered in order to gain political power. It's a
moral Ponzi scheme that succeeds only so long as there's someone left to accuse. When no one is left to accuse,
the scam collapses.
How
Did Democrats Become So Out of Touch With the American People? The republic is not in good shape.
Unforced foreign policy blunders, such as the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, embarrass America on the world stage. Our
homeland territorial integrity has never been more undermined, as a wide-open southern border permits an unprecedented flow
of smugglers, traffickers and other miscreants. Homicide and other violent crime, which skyrocketed in the 2020 "summer
of love" riots, continue to spike; the New York City subway is unsafe, and Chicago is a veritable war zone. Mobocracy
runs amok; a sitting Supreme Court justice just faced a near-assassination attempt. Inflation, now over 9% and smacking
those lower on the economic ladder, is at a four-decade high; the national average for gasoline is well over $4 per gallon.
Texas
Democrats Leave Convention Without Passing a Platform. Last week's Texas Democrat Convention in Dallas ended
without the party adopting a new platform, as not enough delegates remained to reach quorum. Held biennially during
election years, the convention is an opportunity for Texas Democrats to elect party leadership, gear up for the November
election, and craft their party platform. At least, that's what's supposed to happen. Shortly after Chairman
Gilberto Hinojosa was re-elected to lead the party for another four years on Saturday, attendees began to trickle out of the
convention center. When it came time to vote on the party platform, a point of order was called on grounds that there
were not enough delegates present to conduct business — two-thirds of the body. The point of order was
sustained and, just like that, the convention ended without the party adopting a platform.
The Editor says...
The delegates at the state convention are the most active participants in the party. If you can't even get a
quorum at the state convention, your party has zero enthusiasm.
The Left Should
Be Happy with Biden. [Scroll down] Strangely, leftists do not grasp that Biden's current record and
unpopularity are due not just to his unmistakable cognitive decline. The problem is not just his often-toxic
personality, or his creepy habits of trying to shake the hands of invisible people or violating the private space of younger
women. Instead, the Biden Administration has become an utter failure because voters detest its agendas. They
recoil at $5-a-gallon gas. They feel their lives are being destroyed by 9.1 percent annual inflation and supply chain
shortages. The public is tired of near record annual increases in murders and other violent crime. They are
sickened by the tsunami of dangerous drugs pouring across the border and unvetted millions of foreign nationals entering
their country without their permission. They are irate that the Biden cabinet never responds to these disasters.
Instead, the administration denies the crises even exist. Or it blames its own self-created messes on the Russians, or
Trump, or their own Democratic senators who balked at printing more trillions of dollars.
The
Party of Affluent, Progressive Whites. Back in 2002, Ruy Teixeira and John Judis published a book boldly
proclaiming The Emerging Democratic Majority. Demographics were destiny, said the authors. The coloring of
America would transform politics in the Democrats' favor for a long time. In the 20 years since, no such majority has
materialized. [...] Other than echo-chamber dwelling affluent, progressive whites, Latinos and working- and middle-class folk
don't give a hoot about the phony January 6 insurrection. Gun control isn't a push-button issue, either.
Abortion? Plenty of Latinos identify as Catholic or, increasingly, fundamentalist Christian. Abortion is a grave
sin to them. People of faith don't like to go crosswise God, something that better-heeled, secularist (read atheist)
whites, consumed with their virtue-signaling and journeys of self-obsession, dismiss as caveman sensibility. For these
heathens, if a baby in the womb is inconvenient, well, kill the child, right up to the moment of birth. That extremism
turns off many Latinos.
Socialists Rising in L.A..
The Los Angeles chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America has emerged as the clear winner of the city's June 7 primary
in the weeks since ballot counting began. Five out of the nine candidates on the ballot for city office to earn the
DSA's endorsement have either won outright (garnering more than 50 percent of the vote) or advanced to the general election
with leads over their rivals. The results reveal the expanding political might of L.A.'s socialist Left. Los
Angeles primaries usually see low turnout. Well-organized groups with a solid ground game stand to do best. This
year, every registered voter was mailed a ballot, and 84 percent of ballots were cast by mail. The city now permits
ballot harvesting and unguarded drop boxes, and it doesn't check signatures. The DSA took advantage of these rules, got
boots on the ground, and reaped the rewards.
Poll:
Democrats Believe America Is Systemically Racist and Sexist. Most Democrats at least somewhat believe the U.S.
and its institutions are "systemically sexist in favor of men," as well as racist, a Heartland/Rasmussen Reports survey
released this week found. Most Americans, 58 percent, said they are "very proud" to be an American — a
sentiment held by 74 percent of Republicans, 55 percent of independents, and 44 percent of Democrats. Democrats
appear to be the least proud among the groups, as 29 percent said they are either not very or not at all proud. Just
8 percent of Republicans and 17 percent of independents said the same. The survey also asked respondents if they
believe "America and most of its institutions are systemically sexist in favor of men." While 62 percent of Republicans
at least somewhat disagree, three-quarters of Democrats either strongly or somewhat agree. Additionally, 71 percent of
Democrats believe that the country and most of its institutions are "systemically racist".
Biden and The
Destruction of Wisdom. There used to be an agreed-on body of wisdom, which both Left and Right, Republicans and
Democrats, generally accepted. Heated arguments and invective centered on implementations and methods of solving
problems, which at least both sides agreed were problems. Both ideologies accepted a common core of wisdom, despite
their radical differences in interpreting it. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and especially Biden's strange cabinet of loud
Jacobin amateurs, reject the very hallowed knowledge upon which civilization is based. In that sense the public has
begun to recognize them as nihilist and anarchist. Nearly two out of three Americans in some polls hold unfavorable
views of the Biden Administration. They fear that it is decoupled from both the past and reality, and quite capable of
destroying their lives as they have known them.
The
Left-Wing Circular Firing Squad. [Scroll down] They find there is zero limit. If you're willing to
vote for Democrats, there is no bridge too far. Think of all the Democrats who sucked up to Ed Buck and Jeffrey Epstein
long after it was known what they were. Behind the scenes you kind of expect that, we're dealing with politicians after
all. But you'd think there'd be some point where, like cockroaches when the light is flipped on, they'd scramble
because some part of them, probably very deep down, they recognize what they're pushing is a type of crazy that turns off
normal people; a kind of crazy that won't sell. That bit of self-awareness does not exist on the far left. They
are either unwilling or incapable of dialing it back.
Woke
Berkeley law professor brands Senator Josh Hawley 'transphobic' for saying only women can get pregnant.
Berkeley Law Professor Khiara Bridges accused Sen. Josh Hawley of 'opening up trans people to violence' after the
Missouri Republican pressed her to say that only women could get pregnant in a heated squabble during a Senate committee
hearing Tuesday. 'You've used a phrase I want to make sure I understand what you mean by it. You've referred to
'people with a capacity for pregnancy.' Would that be women?' Hawley asked during a Senate Judiciary Committee on
abortion rights. 'Many women, cis women, have the capacity for pregnancy. Many cis women do not have the capacity
for pregnancy. There are also trans men who are capable of pregnancy as well as non-binary people who are capable of
pregnancy,' Bridges told the senator. [Video clip]
That
Senate Abortion Testimony Just Got Even Wackier. As we reported previously, the Democrats are making some
interesting arguments during a hearing on abortion in the Senate. That is to say, they're wandering into trainwreck
territory with one of the witnesses they put on — Khiara Bridges, who is a law professor at UC Berkeley School of
Law. Bridges accused Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) of being transphobic because he asked if she meant "women" when she
used the term "people with a capacity for pregnancy." The professor then said he was opening up trans people to violence by
the nature of his question. But she didn't leave it there, she went full-bore unhinged.
Biden's
wealthy and clueless White House. How does President Joe Biden, with pride, call oppressive gasoline prices "an
incredible transition?" The same way his millionaire energy secretary tells hard-pressed Americans to solve their financial
problems by buying a $60,000 electric car. This White House is inhabited by revolving door careerists who got rich
through decades of moving into a plum federal job, then out to a law firm/PR/lobbyist/consultant — and then back
in again to burnish the resume. It's called losing touch with middle America and everyday hardships.
Support for
transgenders falls. A poll by Public Religion Research Institute, a lefty lobbying group, found that Lia Thomas
has had an impact on how Americans view allowing transgenders competing with women athletes. Americans don't like
it. PRRI's polled found that Will Thomas changing his name to Lia and winning all the women's swimming trophies turned
people off. Four years ago, 50% supported allowing men who say they are women competing in women's sports. Now
that Americans have seen this firsthand, only 36% do.

Just
how important is 'action on climate change' to the world's general public? Over on LinkedIn, climate
rationalist Bjorn Lomberg posted an interesting chart showing just how important global warming and climate change issues
were to the world's public, citing a huge survey of 10 million conducted by the United Nations. The chart is here:
[Chart] [...] Lomberg, who isn't a global warming skeptic as I am, is full of brilliant, listenable insights and practical
workable solutions to the matter of climate change that don't destroy economies, leave nations smoking ruins, or force people
to eat bugs. [...] Lomberg's article focuses on the costs not matching the benefits of climate change action — how
the world can spend a trillion dollars a year on climate change measures and end up with a ... 1% ... drop in carbon
compounds in the atmosphere. The problems there are obvious. His article, which is heavy academic lumber, is well
worth pondering for that alone.
Monmouth
Poll Compiles Top 22 Priorities of American People, Ukraine v Russia and J6 Committee Outcome Does Not Appear on
List. Monmouth University conducted another political poll of U.S respondents. In addition
to the plummeting approval of Joe Biden, the worst yet approval at 36% according to the survey, the respondents were asked to
list their top concerns (Question #7). The responses were recorded but did not come from a list presented by
Monmouth. They just compiled the results. As stated, "what is the biggest concern facing your family right now?"
The results show the top priorities of Americans and the disconnect between the priorities of congress and the American
people are stark.
The
LGBT Hostile Work Environment. On May 31, 2022, President Biden delivered to the American people "A
Proclamation on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, And Intersex Pride Month 2022." A presidential proclamation is a
directive that grants to the chief executive of the United States certain powers of mandatory ceremony and observance.
The power of presidential proclamations is especially operative in enforcing mandatory observances in the federal military
and civilian workplaces, as those are the domains over which the president holds direct constitutional authority. [...] Biden
rages: "An onslaught of dangerous anti-LGBTQI+ legislation has been introduced and passed in States across the country,
targeting transgender children and their parents, and interfering with their access to health care. The unconscionable
attacks have left countless LGBTQI+ families in fear and pain." The unconscionable attackers whom Biden's proclamation
vilifies are otherwise known as the American people. He is outraged at the diversity of viewpoint about the needs of
children, and he attacks the American people in the strongest terms for resisting sexuality indoctrination of children.
There
Are Two Fundamentally Irreconcilable Constitutional Visions. It's been a momentous couple of weeks at the
Supreme Court. As usual, they saved the big cases for the end. This year the big three were Bruen (gun
rights), Dobbs (abortion rights) and West Virginia (administrative regulation of CO2). All three cases
were decided 6-3 along ideological lines. These cases involved the most basic issues of what the Constitution is and
how it is to be interpreted. On those issues there is virtually no hope of one side ever convincing anyone from the
other side. There just are two fundamentally irreconcilable visions of how this should work. The two visions can
be summarized in just a few sentences each:
• Vision 1. The Constitution allocates powers to the three branches of government, and also
lists certain rights entitled to constitutional protection. The role of the courts is (1) to assure that the powers
are exercised only by those to whom they are allocated, (2) to protect the enumerated rights, and (3) as to
things claimed to be rights but not listed, to avoid getting involved.
• Vision 2. The Constitution is an archaic document adopted more than 200 years ago, and
largely obsolete. The role of the courts is to implement the current priorities of the academic left and then somehow
rationalize how that is consistent with the written document. If a right is enumerated in the Constitution but disfavored
by the current left (e.g., the right to "keep and bear arms"), then the courts should find a way to uphold enactments that
minimize that right down to the point that it is a nullity. If a right is not enumerated in the Constitution, but is a
priority of the left (e.g., abortion), then that right can be discovered in some vague and unspecific constitutional language
("due process"). And if the left has a priority to transform the economy and the way the people live, but the Congress
does not have sufficient majorities to enact that priority, then the Executive agencies can implement that priority on their
own authority, and the role of the courts is to assist the agencies in finding something in the tens of thousands of pages of
federal statutes, however vague and dubious, that can be claimed to authorize the action.
Democrats
don't want anyone to succeed. The number one projection you hear from Democrats today is how Republicans are
extremists who threaten democracy and individual rights. But if one takes a close look at Republicans and the Right,
their positions have remained consistent over the years — promoting small government, lower taxes, and individual
responsibility. It's the Democrats who have become the extremists by calling for bigger and more government every
election cycle, more spending and more regulation. And now calls for censorship by the Left continue to grow.
It's the stuff of socialism that's morphing into a kind of soft communism, which would explain the Democrats' affinity for
all things China. The final proof is the fact that the Biden presidency is really the Sanders/AOC presidency that
totally controls the agenda primarily in the form of the Green New Deal. It is nothing but big government socialism
disguised as planetary salvation.
'The
View' hosts face backlash for $14K a night luxury Bahamas getaway. The rambunctious hosts of "The View" have
had their share of controversy and scandals in the past year — and what better way to unwind from all the drama
than with a $14,000-per-night luxury vacation? Celebrating 25 years of the show, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara
Haines, Sunny Hostin and recurring guest Ana Navarro are currently staying at Baha Mar in Nassau, Bahamas, with alum Sherri
Shepherd even dropping in. The women have been recording their show from their luxury stay. The resort is made up
of three hotels: Rosewood, Grand Hyatt and SLS. According to The Sun, the Rosewood is the most expensive hotel of
the three with the oceanside six-bedroom villa setting customers back $14,358 a night.
Delusional
Democrats Advance 'Transgender Bill of Rights'. A group of House Democrats made the politically questionable
decision to advance a proposal they call the "Transgender Bill of Rights" on Tuesday. Apparently, it's not enough that
all signs point to them getting utterly crushed, destroyed, wrecked, and annihilated in the November midterms; these
Democrats must want people to poke their party's smoldering corpse with sticks afterward. [...] Can these Democrats really be
this willfully blind to the deep resentment Americans feel for being forced to "celebrate" a freaky, creepy delusional mental
illness? For example, recent polls have shown that U.S. voters overwhelmingly (61%) approve of Florida's Parental
Rights in Education law and oppose "transgender" females competing against girls and women in athletics.
The
Left-wing Insurrection Intensifies. It's only insurrection when the other side does it! For one and a
half years, the Left and its media allies have peddled the narrative of a Republican insurrection. Meanwhile, Democrats
and their supporters burn federal courthouses, attack property rights and the rule of law, and now call the Supreme Court
illegitimate after its ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson. This isn't just a few fringe voices. Prominent legal
analysts and authors are calling the Court illegitimate. The chair of the Democrat National Committee has pulled out
the bullhorn to condemn the Court. Writers at Teen Vogue, whatever one thinks of Teen Vogue, have also
used their cultural clout and reach to spew their propaganda. The "mainstream" of the Democrat Party and their allies
are calling the Court illegitimate; they have joined the very far-left that have been saying this for decades.
Insurrection is a violent uprising against legal authority with the intent to overthrow it. Of course, liberals won't
openly admit that what they advocate is insurrection. But that is, in essence, what the left is advocating.
Five
Things The GOP Must Do To Win In November And Stay In Power. Among other unforced errors, Biden and the
Democrats have destroyed our economy, irrevocably damaged our national security by opening our borders, and have thoroughly
deprived millions of Americans of their basic rights in an alleged attempt to protect us in an unwinnable battle against a
Chinese virus. One need not look any further than the devastating surge we're currently seeing in gasoline prices for
evidence of the Democrats' complete implosion, and it seems clear the results they're achieving were indeed
intentional. As a result, and coming as no surprise to anyone other than Democrats themselves, Americans are vocally
rejecting the Democrats' socialist, climate alarmist, and racist agenda. In virtually every demographic that is
tracked — including a remarkable renunciation of their policies from Hispanics, traditionally one of the most
loyally Democratic groups in the country — Americans are abandoning Democrats in droves.
The
Democrats' lies on abortion since SCOTUS' overruling of Roe v. Wade. Lie 2: Most Americans support
abortion. Polls show almost nine in 10 Americans oppose Biden and Pelosi's extreme position of abortion on demand until
birth. A Trafalgar Group poll last month showed less than 12% of Americans support abortions to birth, while 57%
believe abortions should be banned once an unborn baby's heartbeat can be detected at about six weeks. Even among
Democrats, only 19% think that abortion should be legal until birth. Scientific advances showing us detailed ultrasound
photos inside the womb, and allowing premature babies to survive at 25 weeks, have changed the equation. Most Americans
want reasonable restrictions with compassionate exceptions to safeguard the mother's life and in the cases of rape and
incest — which Planned Parenthood's own research arm, the Guttmacher Institute, says is less than 1% of
abortions. What's more, a Rasmussen poll last month showed 48% of voters said they would approve of the Supreme Court
overturning Roe v. Wade, and 45% would disapprove. Among Democratic voters, 33% said they would approve.
The Roe Decision Won't
Save the Democrats. The Democrats reacted with predictable hysteria last Friday when the Supreme Court handed
down its decision overturning Roe v Wade. We have since been deafened by shrill denunciations of the
"MAGA Court," "extremist justices" and all things Republican. Adding to the din President Biden brayed, "This decision
is the culmination of a deliberate effort over decades to upset the balance of our law." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared,
"Make no mistake: reproductive freedom is on the ballot in November." It is hardly a given, however, that this will save the
Democrats in the fall. Public opinion polls suggest that the Court and the voters are in agreement on abortion.
According to a recent Wall Street Journal poll, for example, "More American voters favor the idea of a 15-week
abortion ban than oppose it."
Guns and Roeses. [Scroll down]
These are, after all, the same people who refused to accept George W. Bush's narrow presidential victory in 2000 ("selected,
not elected"); refused to accept Bush's win over John Kerry in 2004; rained hellfire and brimstone down on poor Sarah Palin,
whose only crime was a surfeit of motherhood, and snarlingly turned on her running mate and their erstwhile favorite
maverick, John McCain in 2008; and went bonkers over the surprise victory of Donald Trump in 2016, thus triggering the entire
"Russian collusion" hoax that started with Hillary Clinton and eventually came to embrace the FBI, the intelligence
community, the media, and the judicial system. In the same way, having outlawed school prayer and, from that beachhead,
having driven almost any expression of the Christian faith from the public square — the offending prayer in
question read, "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our
teachers and our Country," which the pestiferous Madalyn Murray O'Hair and her ilk somehow equated with the "establishment"
of a religion — they have gone to the mattresses to expunge anything that smacks of Christianity, especially any
proscriptions against the form of baby murder that goes by the sobriquets of "choice" and "women's health." To wit:
abortion.
California
Lt. Governor Calls for Defiance of Supreme Court Decision. The latest laugh riot comes from California
Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis — yes, she is a Democrat — coming out with this amazing comedy
routine that, even by the network on which it aired standards, namely MSNBC, was a tad over the top. [...] What stands out
even above Kounalakis' open advocation of defying the law, which as a Democrat in California she is well-versed, as anyone
who's taken a gander at the southern border can testify, is her odd dismissal of Supreme Court justice Clarance Thomas.
Is it racist? Not really, but it is interesting.
Report:
GOP Gaining 1 Million+ Voters as Democrats Bleed Support. Tens of thousands of voters who helped Democrats
install President Joe Biden in the White House are now happily switching to Republicans, voter registration analysis released
Monday shows. More than one million voters across 43 states have switched to the Republican Party in the past
12 months alone, ballot intentions compiled by the Associated Press (AP) shows.
Is
the Green Agenda Being Forced Upon Us by Accident? The Left hates oil and gas, beef (and chicken, and all
meat), and coal [and concrete and air conditioning and DDT and nuclear power and CO2 and natural gas and styrofoam and
plastic bags]. But millions of Americans don't believe the hysterical Leftist claims that these things are destroying
the planet. What to do about these folks? A number of suspicious recent incidents suggest that some people have
decided to take matters into their own hands and force compliance with the green agenda by leaving us no other choice.
Just
5% call abortion [their] top concern. Abortion, the No. 1 concern in today's media and politics, ranks nearly
dead last among areas voters care about as they struggle with paying daily bills, soaring inflation, and interest rate hikes,
according to a just-released survey. While the Supreme Court's decision overruling the 1973 Roe v Wade
right to abortion has dominated today's network and cable coverage, the latest McLaughlin & Associates poll said just 5% of voters
call it a top concern. Just below abortion, at 1%, is reviewing the 2020 election, over which the media are also obsessing.
Debauchery
and Grossness are Abundant at the Pro-Abortion Protests After the Fall of Roe v Wade. This was the scene in
Dallas after the decision to overturn Roe v Wade by the Supreme Court. Looks like the sludge at the bottom of society's
barrel was scraped as women, and even some soy-infused men, twerked in front of the capital. [Video clip]
Joe
Biden Just Told Us Who He Really Is. [Scroll down] What the Biden administration has done, however, since
the draft majority SCOTUS opinion leak in early May is to fan the flames of outrage by encouraging radical activists on the
left to continue "protesting" outside the homes of the Justices. [...] Further, in the speech Biden gave earlier, he noted
his administration was going to use every tool in their power to do an end-run around the SCOTUS ruling, something also
confirmed by DOJ Attorney General Merrick Garland. As all of this sinks in, keep in mind that Biden and other Democrats
(and their allies in the mainstream press) have been lecturing Republicans for the last year and a half since the Capitol
riot about the need to "respect the courts" and to not "undermine democratic norms" in our society. And yet what do
they do in response to today's 6-3 decision? Exactly what they've said their political opponents shouldn't —
this from the same people who once gloated after the Supreme Court voted to uphold Obamacare that it was "settled law" so
"deal with it."
Biden
declares war on nicotine while giving addicts crack pipes. As Americans grapple with sky-high prices at the
pump, the worst rate of inflation in more than four decades, increasing crime, a wide-open southern border, a surge in
fentanyl deaths, a baby formula shortage, a looming food crisis, a plunging stock market, rolling brownouts, and many other
pressing problems, the Biden administration has set its sights on waging war on nicotine. This week, the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) announced that it "plans to develop a proposed product standard that would establish a maximum nicotine
level to reduce the addictiveness of cigarettes and certain other combusted tobacco products" and that it has "issued
marketing denial orders (MDOs) to JUUL Labs Inc. for all of their products currently marketed in the United States." For
those keeping track, these anti-nicotine measures follow the Biden administration's proposal to ban menthol cigarettes, which
was announced by the FDA in April.
Mainstream
media urging voters to ignore inflation, focus on imperiled democracy. Recent surveys have consistently shown
that runaway inflation is the most troubling issue to most Americans. This has led many talking heads and media outlets
to express deep concern that historically high gas prices and generally rampant inflation might lead to significant Democrat
losses in the upcoming midterm elections. The horror! To help prevent this, Washington Post columnist Catherine
Rampell, for example, informed her readers that it was a "wild fantasy" to believe that the GOP could lower gas prices.
Furthermore, in a Sunday opinion piece, she condescendingly warned voters to "think carefully about what they'll get if they
cast their ballot based on gas prices." By that she means evil Republicans who are pro-life and pro-Bill of Rights.
Rampell added, "The president does not have some super-secret special dial on his desk that can adjust gas prices, but many
voters believe otherwise." Yes, Catherine, I'm sure many voters think Biden has a "dial" on his desk that can adjust
gas prices in real time. (Not that he'd know how to use it if he did.) In reality, most voters know that Biden
killed the Keystone Pipeline on Day One, has rescinded or denied drilling leases, and has made it clear he is an implacable
foe of the fossil fuel industry in every shape and form. That is why gas prices have skyrocketed since he took
office, and that is why voters are rightfully angry.
Tucker
Carlson savages Republican politicians' disrespect for Americans. Despite the media's covering for Biden,
people have noticed raging inflation, a recession, lawlessness, broken borders, a tenderness for Ukraine denied to America,
cultivated race-hatred, efforts to disarm law-abiding citizens, and the arrogance of the LGBTQ+++ crowd — and they
don't like any of it. It turns out that mean tweets aren't so bad when compared to a government that's hostile to its
own citizens. The Democrats' intentional mismanagement is so extreme that the party is losing Hispanics and blacks in
droves. In theory, this should be a golden age for Republicans. It's not, though, and that's the fault of the
Republican political class, few of whom seem to embrace conservatism or Americans.
The Democrats'
Trump Obsession Will Do Them In. In 2020, despite gaining control of the White House and the Senate, the
Democrats suffered a net loss of 13 seats in the House and a comprehensive down ballot drubbing. This was hardly a
mandate for radical change. Yet, upon taking office, President Biden immediately reversed former President Trump's
successful energy policies and incentivized illegal immigrants to invade our southern border. Meanwhile, congressional
Democrats collaborated with Biden to pass inflationary spending bills and embarked upon an unconstitutional crusade to
convict Trump of fictitious crimes against the state. This ongoing effort to destroy Trump and all his works has long
since taken precedence over any policy initiative that would benefit voters. Consequently, Biden's job approval rating
has now dropped below 40 percent in several major polls and the Democratic Party is losing the support of Independent and
Latino voters. An obvious manifestation of the latter phenomenon was the victory of Texas Republican Mayra Flores in
last week's special election for the state's 34th Congressional District. This was no accident. The GOP invested
heavily in this contest while the Democrats virtually ignored it.
Buyer
remorse growing in Democrat ranks. Last week, I lunched with a longtime friend, in a popular Orange County,
Florida restaurant. He is a 68-year-old professed JFK Democrat who had predicted a return to 1990's moderation at the
time of Joe Biden's election. The optimism of 18 months ago had disappeared. "Yes, things are looking a bit
grim," he admitted. "My son is trying to find a new home for his growing family. But there are none to be found
in Fort Lauderdale, or anyplace close to his office in Broward County. When I recommended Weston, he said, 'come on,
Dad! have you seen the gas prices recently?' He has a point."
A country
its leaders do not live in. Congress now has had more prime time committee hearings on the January 6th protest
than it did on 9/11. I am not sure just what the purpose of the January 6th hearings are. Americans have turned
their attention to inflation and recession. But in Washington, where no one ever gets laid off and no one has to go to
work if it snows, the show is the talk of the town. The rest of the country has to work today. DC closed for
Juneteenth. The great divide in America is not between lefties and righties. The divide is between the governed
and the government.
Queens
DA Melinda Katz uses security detail 'as her personal car service': sources. Queens District Attorney Melinda
Katz used members of her taxpayer-funded security detail to help her move to her new million-dollar digs —
potentially running afoul of ethics rules, The [New York] Post has learned. The borough's top prosecutor was spotted
wearing her gold DA's badge on her hip last week as she carried four boxes of belongings to a black Ford Expedition parked
outside the Forest Hills house where she's been temporarily living since selling her former childhood home for $1.05 million
in February. She then climbed into the official vehicle and was driven about 1.2 miles by a pair of plainclothes NYPD
cops to her new three-bedroom, 2-1/2 bathroom Colonial-style house, which city records show she bought late last month for
$1.1 million. The trip was one of four that The Post saw Katz, 56, and her detail make between her old and new homes
Tuesday morning.

Gov. Kathy Hochul Calls Pro-Lifers 'Neanderthals' After 20-Plus Violent Attacks On Pro-Life Centers.
Following a slew of violent attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers, New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) is inexplicably amping
up the rhetoric against pro-lifers, calling them "neanderthals." Hochul on Monday signed legislation to boost abortion
"rights" and "empower" abortion providers in the Empire State. "This is the United States of America, where freedom and
liberty are supposed to mean something," the Democrat said. "It's the rock upon which we were founded. It is
supposed to mean something. Except in the eyes of some neanderthals who say, women are not entitled to those rights."
Earlier this month, a pro-life pregnancy center in Buffalo called CompassCare was firebombed; windows were broken, the structure's
medical office was set ablaze, and the vandals added graffiti that said "Jane Was Here," a phrase used by a pro-abortion group
called Jane's Revenge.
Van
Jones Leaves CNN Anchors Stunned After Spitting Truth About the Democrat Party. [Scroll down] As Jones
says, the modern Democrat Party is just "weird." He brings up the idea of calling Hispanics "Latinx," noting that normal,
middle class people have never met a "Latinx." Nor have they met anyone who identifies with the acronym "BIPOC," which I
had to google in order to find out what it means. Apparently, "black, indigenous, people of color" didn't have enough
identifiers already and needed more. The left has so fractured the country that it's impossible to keep up with all the
various groups they've created. Further, those pushing such nonsense are, as Jones points out, predominantly
over-educated and wealthy. They are in no way connected to the normal struggles of everyday life, and their lack of
religious observance has left them with no feeling of purpose. In order to make themselves feel better, they've decided
to create victim groups to "help." That's how you get the stupidity that is "Latinx," a name with which essentially no
Hispanic people identify. [Video clip]
Michigan
AG says 'drag queens make everything better,' suggests 'drag queen for every school': report. Michigan Attorney
General Dana Nessel reportedly said Wednesday that "drag queens make everything better" and that there should be "a drag
queen for every school" during an event in Lansing. Nessel, who was the first openly gay person elected to statewide
office in Michigan, made the comments during a civil rights conference while speaking out against what she describes as
efforts to divide Americans, Craig Mauger of The Detroit News reported on Twitter. "Drag queens make everything
better. Drag queens are fun," Nessel said, according to Mauger. "A drag queen for every school," she added.
2024
Dems: Biden 41%, Michelle Obama 16%, VP Harris 11%. Despite a wave of negative news coverage and reports
that Democrats are ready to junk President Joe Biden in 2024, he still leads all other potential challengers by a good
margin. In the latest Zogby Poll, provided to Secrets today, Biden's support among Democratic voters is 41%. His only
weakness appears to be among younger voters. Former first lady Michelle Obama, who has signaled no interest in running,
remains in second at 16% followed by Vice President Kamala Harris at 11%.
Here's
a Long List of Prominent Democrats Refusing to Accept Election Result. Democrats on Capitol Hill are holding
hearings this week to examine January 6, 2021 and their allegation President Donald Trump, along with Republicans on Capitol
Hill, launched an "assault on democracy" by questioning or rejecting the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Conveniently, Democrats are failing to highlight their own "assault on Democracy" over the years. The first example is
Democrat Congressman Bennie Thompson, who is leading the January 6 Committee. Thompson voted against the certification
of the 2004 presidential election and refused to attend President Trump's inauguration. [Tweets] Democrat Congressman
Jamie Raskin, who is also a leading figure on the committee, did the same and voted against the certification of the 2016
presidential election. [Tweet] Former Democratic Senator and current Vice President Kamala Harris agreed and repeatedly
claimed Trump was an illegitimate president. [Tweet] Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton still claims
the 2016 election was stolen from her and fueled the despicable lie that President Trump wasn't elected, but installed by the
Russian government. [Tweet] Current Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, who lost a previous race to current
Republican Governor Brian Kemp, has never conceded the 2018 race. [Tweet]
Are
Our Rulers Losing the Mandate of Heaven? We racist-sexist-homophobe Americans are pleased to see that Hispanics
are trending strongly away from Democrats in the current Bidenflation. And even blacks seem less than enthusiastic
about Joe Biden. But what about the real core Democrat supporters: the credentialed, the educated women, the LGBTs,
the folks parading in front of the homes of Supreme Court justices? Are they starting to wonder about double-digit
inflation a year into the Biden administration? The only on-the-ground information I have is from a federal government
retiree who's going to borrow her daughter's fossil-fueled car when she travels from D.C. to Philly in July. For some
reason she feels safer leaving her electric car at home. And there's the gay acquaintance who doesn't eat meat and
doesn't drive much. He doesn't notice anything wrong on the economic front. I guess that most liberal wokies are
so cozily protected by their gubmint jobs, their inflation-protected pensions, and their taxpayer-subsidized urban lifestyles
that they are completely insulated from harm.
Republicans:
To Win the Midterms, Hit Black Lives Matter. Most of us already know how we are going to vote in
November. "Use Your Head and Vote Red" is a good answer to the other side's "Vote Blue, No Matter Who." We know in
advance how the elections are going to turn out in hardcore Republican and Democratic states and enclaves. We do not
expect California or New York to elect Republicans, nor are Wyoming and Idaho likely to elect Democrats. All the other
races will, however, be decided by the swing voters who hold the balance of power, and it is to them we must appeal. Sun Tzu
noted in his Art of War that one should attack what the enemy cannot defend and defend what the enemy cannot
attack. This is why we must direct our complete attention to BLM and its ties with the Democrat party.
Nancy
Pelosi makes repeat appearance on RuPaul's Drag Race: This 'is what America is all about'. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made a guest appearance on "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" this week where she told the drag queens
they "inspired" her. "My honor to be here to say to all of you, how proud we all are of you. Thank you for the
joy and beauty you bring to the world," Pelosi said as she stood clad in a bright yellow pants suit on episode 5 this
week. "Your freedom of expression of yourselves in drag is what America is all about," Pelosi told the contestants in
what appeared to be a completely scripted exchange. "I say that all the time to my friends in drag," she added.
The
Management of Fanaticism. One of the biggest hazards in the social change business is runaway virtue.
Ideology in the lives of true believers often becomes an end in itself and this becomes a problem for practical politicians
who want to come across as radical but not insane, and are embarassed by the wide-eyed zeal of their adherents. As Mao
Tse-tung, who would use this fact to spawn and later suppress the Red Guards, observed, "there are not a few people who still
regard odd quotations from Marxist-Leninist works as a ready-made panacea which, once acquired, can easily cure all maladies".
Armed with their newfound religion, they become angry and impatient with anything contrary to their all-consuming faith.
In the 21st century this has given rise to what popular culture calls the "Karen phenomenon".
Sorry,
Democrats: Other Opinions Exist. This week, my company, The Daily Wire, premiered a blockbuster new
documentary starring Matt Walsh. Titled "What Is A Woman?", the documentary investigates radical gender theory and its
peculiar hold on the elites in our society — and how the insane proposition that men can become women and vice
versa has become so well-accepted that even normal Americans now live in fear of questioning it. The film has been the
single largest success in the history of The Daily Wire; hundreds of thousands of Americans have subscribed to view it.
Yet Rotten Tomatoes, the review aggregator for film and television, has not a single traditional review of the film.
That's because, according to the legacy and entertainment media, the film doesn't exist. When the Daily Wire press team
sent out invitations to reviewers to watch the film — knowing, of course, that the vast majority of reviewers are
left-leaning and would undoubtedly pan the film — reviewers began responding with insults and declarations of
preemptive hatred.
The Subordinate Citizen.
There are lots of reasons why the looming November midterms will likely see historic levels of pushback against the Biden
administration, Democratic candidates, and the entire progressive agenda. Take your pick of the many self-induced Biden
disasters, among them hyperinflation, unaffordable gasoline, out-of-control crime, and foreign policy humiliations. But
one reason why voters are furious is rarely expressed. Americans feel that ordinary citizens like themselves who follow
the rules are treated more harshly by their own government than are both noncitizens and our own progressive elites.
And they are right, and they are angry, and we will hear from them very soon.
Pa.
Democrat Congresswoman Goes Full Nazi, Says GOP Must Be 'Cleansed'. Despite being an advocate of "civility,"
"decency," and "unity" in the past, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) has apparently been so radicalized by her caucus that
she now says the Republican Party is "diseased" and must be "cleansed." "This is, in my opinion, a diseased Republican
Party. And it needs to be cured and cleansed," Houlahan said on the Daily Beast's The New Abnormal podcast last
month. "So the stakes of having a Republican, as an example, in my seat are more than just policy differences.
They are democracy, in my opinion." The GOP is "diseased" and must be "cleansed?" Where have you heard such rhetoric
before? It bears a shocking resemblance to the rhetoric of the Nazi Party.
Trump
or DeSantis? The Democrat roster is, by all accounts, dramatically uninspiring. Biden, who speaks in
tongues, is plainly beyond redeeming; the question is whether he will manage to survive the year, let alone stumble, lollop,
and whiffle to the end of his first term. Kamala Harris belongs in vaudeville or farce, given her talent for provoking
laughter. Both will have to be retired in favor of an electable candidate. But who? Pete Buttigieg is a
perpetual embarrassment, in effect a political pothole. Elizabeth Warren is a professional liar and fraud, as everybody
knows. Hillary is an overdone political brisket. Gavin Newsom has destroyed his state, an enviable record for a
leftie, but California, despite the hype, is not America. Bernie Sanders is a geriatric commie with three tony
residences, a typical dacha commissar whose appeal is mainly to the badly educated young. Michelle Obama would be a
celebrity candidate; the thing is, most Americans are not celebrities, and Camelot has lost its luster.
The Editor says...
Yes, but most Americans are not Deep State oligarchs, either; yet that's who will select the Democrat nominee, just as they did
in 2020. There was no popular demand for Joe Biden, yet there he sits in the White House, signing executive orders.
The
dystopian state of our nation. The illegitimate Biden administration is the worst thing that has ever happened
to the United States. He, his handlers, and his mind-numbingly incompetent Cabinet appointees have brought this country
to its lowest point in modern history, domestically and internationally. We are suffering a massive third-world
invasion on our southern border. The Russian incursion into Ukraine was incited by Biden and his cronies, the ones who
get rich on war. We were energy independent under Trump, but Biden put a stop to that on day one and so must go begging
to Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for oil. Meanwhile, the price of gasoline for Americans has doubled. The Democrats
are thrilled. They have wanted this for a decade. The new press secretary-reader thinks that because gas prices
are high in other nations, we should be happy; we've caught up with the rest of the world. But the greenies in this
administration could not care less about the environment. They are interested only in power and control over us
all. The "climate crisis" is as big a hoax as Russian collusion. Like the "pandemic" and all its unconstitutional
restrictions, it's all about power, control, and greed.
Woke
San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin is recalled by voters in notoriously liberal city as murders soar 11%. Ousted San
Francisco DA Chesa Boudin remained defiant after citizens voted overwhelmingly to recall the progressive politician Tuesday,
blaming billionaire Republicans and even the city's police force for the loss. 'The right-wing billionaires outspent us
three to one,' Boudin said in a speech to supporters following news of the recall results, which saw more than 60 percent of
San Franciscans fed-up with the city's crime-ridden state vote to recall him. Boudin, 41, went on to assert that
citizens had been 'exploited' by these groups, saying they 'took advantage an environment in which people are appropriately
upset.' 'They created an electoral dynamic where we were literally shadowboxing,' Boudin, who narrowly won office in
November 2019 as part of a wave of woke prosecutors who vowed to seek alternatives to incarceration, said.
Progressive
San Francisco DA recalled by voters in one of nation's most liberal cities. Voters in San Francisco have chosen
to recall embattled District Attorney Chesa Boudin following a recall effort centered on his handling of rising crime across
the city. San Francisco voted to recall Boudin with 61%, compared to 39% who wanted him to stay as the district
attorney, according to results at the time the Associated Press called the race. Boudin was elected in 2019 with 50.8%
of the vote and was sworn in as San Francisco's 29th district attorney on Jan. 8[,] 2020.
Democrat
senator says it doesn't matter — to her — how high gas prices are. If you want to know
just how ignorant, aloof, and removed your rulers are from the everyday life you lead, look no farther than Sen. Debbie
Stabenow (D-Mich.). [p...] Talk about tone-deaf! Does she know who her constituents are? Does she care? The
poor gal had to wait "a long time" to "finally" get her expensive new electric vehicle (and drive it to her brownstone in a
tony Georgetown neighborhood... or to wherever she lives in the Capital City). But when she did [...], it "didn't matter"
to her how expensive gasoline had become. She added, "And so I'm looking forward to the opportunity for us to move to
vehicles that aren't going to be dependent on the whims of the oil companies and the international markets." The
"opportunity" for us to move to expensive vehicles whose batteries cost around $10,000 and that may take hours to
recharge? Vehicles that aren't "dependent on the whims of the oil companies and the international markets"? You
can't be more ignorant or disingenuous than that.
Neither the price of electricity nor the price of gas matters to her, because she makes $174,000 a year.
Democratic
Sen. Debbie Stabenow brags that it doesn't 'matter' to her how high gas prices are because she drives an electric vehicle.
Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow said that record-high gas prices 'don't matter' to her because she has an electric vehicle
as she urged Americans to by eco-friendly vehicles and decrease reliability on greedy oil companies. Her comments came
on the day the average price per gallon of gas in the U.S. reached a new high of $4.92. In Michigan the average sits
higher at $5.17 per gallon, according to AAA's tracker. 'On the issue of gas prices — after waiting for a long time to
have enough chips in this country to finally get my electric vehicle — I got it and drove it from Michigan to here this last
weekend and went by every gas station and it didn't matter how high it was,' the Michigan senator said.
Let
them buy Teslas: Electric car owner Stabenow says gas prices don't matter. Sen. Debbie Stabenow
(D-MI) said it "doesn't matter" how high gas prices go because she drives an electric vehicle, sparking backlash as gas
prices in the United States climb to record highs with no short-term relief in sight. Stabenow's remarks came during a
Senate Finance Committee hearing Tuesday to discuss Biden's budget for the upcoming fiscal year. When the subject
turned to record-high fuel costs in the U.S., Stabenow chimed in: "I do have to say, just on the issue of gas prices,
after waiting for a long time to have enough chips in this country to finally get my electric vehicle, I got it and drove it
from Michigan to here this last weekend and went by every single gas station, and it didn't matter how high it was," the
Michigan Democrat said.
Why
Donald Trump Should Not Run for President in 2024. Nothing exemplifies the importance of the Trump presidency
more than the chaos, mismanagement, ignorance and unmitigated failures of the fraudulently-elected Biden administration as
the vast majority of the American people can see for themselves the stark differences between the two administrations.
Because of Trump's success during his term, the citizenry is primed to soundly defeat the Democrats in November of 2022 and
reject their nominee in 2024. Considering the paucity of viable candidates to replace Joe Biden, the Democrats and the
left in 2024 will have to turn to either Bernie Sanders, Michelle Obama, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren or clones thereof or
possibly a "woke" billionaire business luminary or even a puerile Hollywood celebrity. All of whom, after four years of
Joe Biden, cannot win a national election that is not beset with fraud and rampant cheating.
Matt
Schlapp says Biden failures prove he's 'simply not up to the job'. The wheels are completely coming off of the
Democratic Party clown car as it spins out of control headed for the brick wall of the November midterm elections and to top
it off, things are even worse inside a White House that has descended into dysfunction and disarray as it becomes more
apparent to voters that the Biden administration is an abject catastrophe. With the nation battered by record gas
prices with no ceiling in sight along with the worst inflation in four decades, food and baby formula shortages, and a regime
that burns through money faster than the proverbial drunken sailor on a foreign conflict where no American interests are at
stake, things are looking increasingly bleak for a Democratic Party that is determined to tear down the nation and its
institutions and which could be only five months away from the mother of all electoral bloodbaths.

NYC
Mayor Adams vows to not be 'heavy-handed' on illicit weed sales: 'Enjoy yourself, light up'. It's a green new
day for weed dealers in the Big Apple. Mayor Adams promised Friday to not take a "heavy-handed" approach toward those
who sell marijuana illicitly in the city and gave New Yorkers his blessing to smoke more pot. While New York legalized
recreational weed use last year, the licensing system that's supposed to regulate cannabis sales isn't expected to kick off
until late 2022 — and Adams said Friday afternoon [6/3/2022] that he doesn't see a need for cracking down on
anyone caught dealing ganja out of stores or on the street in the interim.
A
Democrat finally says out loud what they all think about the Constitution. The Democrats have made it plenty
clear over the years that they don't like the Constitution as written. They hate free speech, a free press, religion
that is free from government intervention, and most of all the Second Amendment and its clear recognition of every citizen's
inherent right to bear arms. Unable to change these principles, they opt for imaginary rights (e.g., abortion, same-sex
"marriage") and dream of packing the Supreme Court to circumvent the intentionally cumbersome amendment process. But
they always pay lip service to the Constitution — that is, until Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) spoke openly
about his contempt. He is to be praised for his honesty.
The Editor says...
No, he is not to be praised, or even commended, for his honesty. He swore an oath to
"support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; [and] bear true faith and allegiance to the same."
He should be expelled from the Congress immediately, along with any other congressman who feels the same way.
Rhode
Island Democrat, David Cicilline, [reveals what he thinks] About Constitutional Rights. The Rhode Island
representative refused to yield his time during the outburst, while discussing legislation related to "red flag" laws, that
would allow the government and law enforcement to confiscate firearms from anyone deemed to be a danger to themselves or
others. Florida congressman Matt Gaetz attempted to insert an amendment to the legislation stating "Congress disfavors
the enactment of laws that authorize a court to issue an extreme risk protection order, also known as Red Flag laws, in the
States because such laws trample on an individual's due process and Second Amendment rights." [Video clip]
Dem
Rep. Mondaire Jones: We Will Abolish The Filibuster, Expand The Supreme Court If Gun Control Is Not
Passed. Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-NY) said at a Thursday hearing on recent mass shootings that Congress would
abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court if the Democratic party's proposed gun control legislation does not
pass. "You will not stop us from advancing the Protecting Our Kids Act today," Jones said. "You will not stop us
from passing it in the House next week and you will not stop us there. If the filibuster obstructs us, we will abolish
it. If the Supreme Court objects, we will expand it. And we will not rest until we have taken weapons of war out
of circulation in our communities. Each and every day we will do whatever it takes to end gun violence, whatever it
takes." [Video clip]
Federal
Agencies Celebrate Pride, Ignore Memorial Day. While federal agencies have been tripping over themselves to
pledge allegiance to LGBT activism, two couldn't be bothered to recognize the fallen troops who make our freedom
possible. Despite a governmentwide tweet-fest over Pride Month, the departments of Justice and Treasury managed to
ignore Memorial Day altogether. Thanks to social media, Americans are getting a good look at the main obsession of this
administration, which has devoted more than 30 posts to LGBT extremism from its official accounts — but couldn't
spare half that attention to the men and women who gave all. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who was probably too busy
promoting abortion as the solution to our tanking economy, failed to mark either occasion. U.S. Attorney General
Merrick Garland's team, on the other hand, showed complete disregard for our military by celebrating pride but overlooking
Americans' ultimate sacrifice.
Air
Force Cancels Drag Queen Reading for Children, U.S. Senator Calls It 'Completely Insane'. The 86th Airlift Wing
at Ramstein Air Base in Germany has announced it will no longer host a Drag Queen reading session for children at the base
library after an advertisement about the event was posted to social media. The cancellation has drawn criticism from
LGBT activists who claim the cancellation shows disrespect for transgender people, according to a report in the military
media outlet, Stars and Stripes.

'It
Got Lost in the Mail': FDA Lost Baby Formula Whistleblower Report in Mailroom. "I am here today to say to
parents: You aren't alone. At the highest levels of Joe's administration, he and his team understand what you are
going through. They won't stop until every parent can get the formula their child needs." That was FLOTUS
Dr. Jill Biden on Sunday when the first shipment of desperately-needed baby formula arrived from overseas. She
says that President Biden understands — to be clear, he doesn't. As far as we know, President Biden isn't
bottle feeding any tiny tots in the Oval — don't patronize us. But this very short soundbite is indicative
of a scary pattern the Biden Administration seems to be stuck in: cause a crisis with incompetence; apologize for said crisis;
claim to "understand." See Afghanistan, inflation, and gas prices (Joe flies around in a 747 that we pay for, but somehow
truly, deeply understands the pain at the pump). Biden & Co. cause problems — then apologize. And the
formula crisis is no different.
Why
Team Biden might be purposefully grinding down the middle class. Inflation is running rampant. The
Producer Price Index, the most useful measure of general inflation, is up a whopping 16.3% from April 2021, per the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. That means that roughly $1 out of every $6 that people earn has been lost to inflation in a single
year. [...] Inflation comes when you have too much money chasing too few goods. The spending part provided the excess
money, but the Biden team was right there helping to ensure fewer goods, too. Gas prices going up? Not only was
Biden's spending program stimulating inflation, but at the same time Biden policies were reducing the amount of gasoline,
diesel and heating oil those dollars could buy. Biden went wild canceling pipelines, ending gas and oil leases,
imposing stricter environmental rules and — in cooperation with big institutional investors — choking
off the finances of people trying to produce new fuel supplies.
State
Farm Exec Apologizes to Angry Agents, Says 'We Made a Mistake With Our Involvement' With GenderCool. State Farm
agents across the country fielded angry phone calls on Monday from customers who were either threatening to cancel their
policies or who flat-out canceled them after hearing news that the company had partnered with The GenderCool Project to
donate books regarding transgenderism and gender fluidity to schools in order to "increase representation of LGBTQ+ books and
support our communities in having challenging, empowering, and important conversations with children Age 5+." The story
contained a January 22, 2022 memo from Jose Soto announcing the program. By the close of business Monday, after the CEO
reportedly heard from more than 2,000 independent State Farm agents nationwide (and probably a flood of customers), the
company announced that it was ending its partnership with The GenderCool Project, as RedState first reported. But how
did this happen? And did State Farm agents know about this partnership and agree with it?
Washington
Dem socialist congressional candidate Rebecca Parson calls for breaking into empty homes. Washington Democratic
congressional candidate Rebecca Parson has a bold idea to get Congress to pass housing legislation: have a million people
break into empty houses. Parson, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, is running to represent Washington's
6th Congressional District. In a video ad, she outlined what she and her followers can do if she wins. "Imagine I
proposed a Housing for All Bill in Congress, Then imagine you, me, and a million of our friends took action and occupied
empty houses nationwide. They couldn't ignore us," Parson says in the ad. "No one has ever done anything like
this," Parson continues. "That's why it's going to work."
They Want You
to Suffer. In a sentence I've typed way too often over the last year, inflation continues to sit at
astronomical levels, gas prices keep increasing, and the border is in shambles. To make matters worse, over the past
month, the stock market has crashed, eating away at people's retirements and investments. Dreams that people had are
now going to be on hold for years based on the hope that things will recover, and time isn't something you can get
back. The response from the White House in the face of so many of their self-inflicted wounds hasn't been empathy,
though. Not that such would mean much, but it would at least give people peace of mind knowing that their leaders
aren't actively rooting for their destruction. Unfortunately, that's exactly what appears to be happening. These
people want you to suffer.
Biden
praises high gas prices as part of 'incredible transition'. Out of touch as ever, President Biden celebrated
record-high gas prices Monday, gushing that the pump pain was part of "an incredible transition" of the US economy away from
fossil fuels. "[When] it comes to the gas prices, we're going through an incredible transition that is taking place that,
God willing, when it's over, we'll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is
over," Biden said during a press conference in Japan following his meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. The
president then insisted that his administration's actions, rather than increasing the price of gas, had actually been able to
"keep it from getting worse — and it's bad." Only then did Biden pay lip service to millions of Americans who
have found themselves spending thousands of extra dollars to fuel up their vehicles.
The Collapse
of Trust. Looking at the issues facing our country, there seems to be something pernicious for which we don't
seem to know what to do to correct the downward trajectory that is shaking us to our core. [... For example,] Baby
Formula: The closing of the Abbott facility was a botched job. Everyone knew that 40% of the formula produced in
the U.S. came from a single plant. We might forgive the failure of forethought in not diversifying our supply years
ago. But the complete breakdown of responsibility by the FDA and the President (through his staff) for not having
raised the alarm as week by week the problems grew worse four months before the plant closing is hard to take. There
was a heads-up that this might happen back in September of 2021. It would have been reasonable to commence planning for a
shortage of baby formula right then. Hungry babies in America are a new low for our country. But it comes on the
heels of one crisis after another.
Republicans
Introduce 'Women's Bill of Rights' and Democrats Will Hate It. On Thursday, Republicans introduced legislation
dubbed a "Women's Bill of Rights" that Democrats won't like at all. Why not? Democrats claim to be advocates of
women's rights and gender equality, so why wouldn't they support a "Women's Bill of Rights"? Because the legislation
proposed would enshrine into law protections for biological females — without including men who "identify" as women.
Hostin
Declares All GOP Voters 'Biggest Domestic Threat' to America. The rhetoric from ABC's The View has
steadily grown more and more dangerous and possibly inciting, as co-host Sunny Hostin spent part of Thursday's [5/19/2022]
show maligning all 74 million Republican 2020 voters by calling them the "biggest domestic threat" to the country after House
Republicans opposed a Democratic-led effort against so-called "domestic terrorism." Both she and co-host Sara Haines
scoffed at concerns that slapping on labels could lead to a slippery slope. After playing soundbites of GOP opposition
on the House floor and Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) calling Republican representatives racist, co-hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi
Goldberg dismissed the existence of Antifa and called the GOP the real terrorists.
Poll:
Most U.S. voters oppose transgender policies, but many fear speaking up. Most American voters oppose
transgender surgeries and lessons for children, but more than a third fear speaking up about the issue, according to a poll
released Tuesday [5/17/2022]. McLaughlin and Associates, which conducted the poll for the Christian evangelical Summit
Ministries in Colorado, found that 90% of likely voters with an opinion on the issue believe gender-altering surgeries should
be illegal for children. The poll also found that 72% of voters do not believe schools "should teach about sexual
identity and sexual behavior with elementary-age children," compared to 28% who believe it's an appropriate use of
instructional time.
White
House spox on stock market plunge, 'that's not something we keep an eye on every day'. New White House press
secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been thrust into a difficult position as she faces questions about record gas prices,
staggering inflation and unprecedented shortages including baby formula, and on Wednesday, she was put on the spot over the
stock market, a topic that she appeared to be ill-prepared to address. On a day when the Dow Jones Industrial Average
would plunge over 1,100 points, the biggest one-day loss since 2020, Jean-Pierre failed to demonstrate the sass and ability
to think on her feet of her predecessor Jen Psaki and her mind-boggling answer won't likely calm the criticism that she has
received during her first week behind the podium.
White
House dismisses 1,160-point stock plunge as 'not something that we keep an eye on every day'. The monster 1,160
point stock drop on the Dow Jones Industrial Average Wednesday, the highest drop since the advent of the pandemic in 2020 was
kind of a ... nothingburger for the Biden White House.
Liberalism
and the Problem of Evil. Liberals have already written the script for America's decline and fall, and there is
no suggestion of a democratic ending. The people are the nation: that is what democracy looks like. The people,
at first, create the government they want; but at last, and by slow degrees, government creates the society it needs.
It is the fate of democratic societies that allow, by their own election, the assassins of freedom into the center of
government. Liberal democracy has become its own caricature, an imitation of its original promises now so distorted
that it serves only to exaggerate its own deficiencies. Liberals are trapped in their delusions with no way out.
Nancy
Pelosi reveals the Democrat campaign for the midterms. Over the weekend, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared on
CNN's State of the Union to talk about the leaked draft opinion by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito that provides
the rationale on why Roe v. Wade (1973), which legalized abortion nationwide, has to be overturned.
Pelosi began her exposition with the following: ["]"Who would have ever suspected that a creature like Donald Trump
would become president of the United States, waving a list of judges that he would appoint, therefore getting the support of
the far-right and appointing those anti-freedom justices to the court"["] [...] Pelosi may have explicitly called
President Trump a "creature," but the subtext of her remarks was that all those who voted for Trump are also sub-human.
Her fury is because she views them as impediments to her monopoly of power. This was Pelosi's 'basket of deplorables'
moment. Pelosi in 2022 is in a similar position to Hillary Clinton in 2016. She is so convinced of her moral
superiority that she simply cannot fathom why popular opinion would be against her and what she stands for. The
sanctimonious Pelosi is convinced that she could never ever be wrong. So she placates her ego by blaming her opponents
and the voters as inferior beings.
Are
you sure you want to call the Roe protests "the summer of rage?". During the BLM riots that swept the nation in
2020 and beyond, critics of the violence and mayhem took to sarcastically calling that period the "summer of love." Now a
new wave of angry protests is erupting in multiple cities targeting the Supreme Court over its anticipated ruling that would
mostly overturn Roe v. Wade. The topic may be quite different than the BLM marches, but the tactics are
already starting to look similar. Protest organizers have already announced that they want this period to be a "summer
of rage." But is that really the way to win the battle for hearts and minds? If I had the chance to ask these
organizers one question, it would relate to what precisely they hope to accomplish, since the public has no leverage over the
decisions of the court whether they hand down a ruling you approve of or one that you loathe.
The November 2022 election is going to be really hard to steal!
Baby
formula crisis punctuates steep decline in support for Biden, Dems, with suburban moms. President Biden and his
Democrats were already in trouble with suburban women due to inflation, high gas prices and an agenda these voters say does
not align with their priorities. Then baby formula disappeared from store shelves. Images of empty store shelves
and stories of frantic parents searching for food to feed their infants, coupled with reports that the Biden administration
is shipping pallets of scarce formula to the southern border to feed illegal immigrant children, now threaten to crater the
party's already weakened support among suburban women. "Democrats have seen a double-digit decline among their
strongest groups, especially women who are already struggling to stretch a dollar," Republican strategist Ryan Girdusky told
the Washington Times. "But now they're trying to find food for their children." Women were a pivotal voting bloc
for President Biden and Democrats in 2020. Exit polls show they backed Mr. Biden over Donald Trump 57% to 47%.
But over the past few months, polls show women have soured on Mr. Biden.
Woke
Hypocrisy: A User's Guide. Wokeism is not what it pretends to be. It fools a lot of people by
pretending to be about high ideals. It pretends to struggle against injustice, overcome oppression, and so on.
But in reality, it's something very different. [...] They want two sets of rules — some for us, others for
them. For example: Offending them is a terrible thing. It's so terrible, in fact, that they've been trying
to make it illegal to hurt their feelings. Yet they can offend us all the time. They insist that subjective
feelings are profoundly important — important enough to write laws and even base entire societies on. Yet
our feelings are routinely ignored, minimized, dismissed, mischaracterized, or forcefully suppressed. They justify
everything they do based on their imaginary fantasies and utopian ideals, yet they dismiss everything we do because of the
sinister aims they imagine we have.
Don't
bring your blues to our red states. Moving to a red state is a relief for blue staters, but if they cannot
connect their blue state pathologies to voting for Democrats, they are again going to vote for the same party that gave them
their blue state blues. It is imperative that blue-staters recognize that escaping to a red state to avoid blue state
problems will do them no good if they persist in voting for Democrats, who, at first opportunity, will vote for the same blue
policies they left their blue states to avoid. It is imperative that every blue-stater who is not Republican not vote
Democrat if they enjoy red state living. Don't bring your blue state liberal policies to your new red state.
Islamophobia:
The Left Has It Backwards. The left — the progressive, socialist, communist, God-hating, atheistic
left — gets just about everything either wrong or backward, from cancel culture to the 1619 Project to racism to
the environment to religion to family matters to abortion and pretty much everything else imaginable. [...] If anyone dares
to criticize Muslims for their violence, misogyny, antisemitism, intolerance, religiously sanctioned lies, and selfish
arrogance, the left rushes to the microphones, keyboards, TikTok, etc. to sympathize with the poor mistreated Muslims who
practice a "religion of peace" and commiserate with them on how awful it is to be subjected to the horrors of
Islamophobia. It's stomach-turning at best, malicious at worst. Islamophobia is an irrational racist hatred of
Muslims and their "peaceful" religion. Islam is a religion, not a race, but we'll leave that aside for now. To be
an Islamophobe these days is to be guilty of hating Muslims for no good reason. So says the left. It also
demonstrates the left's complete lack of knowledge about the Greek and Latin roots of the English language.
'Liberal
Logic' And Other Things That Don't Exist. [Scroll down] "Who believes this garbage" you may be asking
yourself. The answer is Democrats. I've never seen a party focus like a laser exclusively on their own base to
the exclusion of everyone else before. No matter how alienating or irrelevant to the bulk of the country, Democrats
only pander to the people whose support they already have. You certainly don't want to lose your base, but with just
your base you will lose everyone else. How convinced are some empty-headed leftists when it comes to the doomsday cult
the modern Democrat Party has become? Watch this video of young women telling their fellow leftists not to have kids
because the planet is being destroyed and they'll never live to see 30. The Heaven's Gate cult has turned into Democrats
of today — they're both convinced the world is coming to an end and they're castrating themselves in preparation
for it.
Karine
Jean-Pierre giggles when asked about White House point person on formula crisis. Incoming White House Press
Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked who is running lead on the baby formula crisis for the White House? Her reaction
was disturbing. During a press gaggle on Air Force One, she giggled and said she doesn't know who that person is but
she'd find out. The reporters took the answer in stride. Imagine if the previous president's press secretary
delivered that answer (and giggle) to such an important question for so many families right now. The baby formula
crisis is real and it has a lot of moms in a panic due to the shortage of products on store shelves. Imagine being one
of those moms going from store to store searching for a canister of baby formula. This woman can't even name someone
working on the problem in the White House.
Goodbye
Jen Psaki — no one condescends quite like you. So long Jen Psaki! As White House press
secretary, you were indeed very informative: every day you provided an example of how today's Democratic Party turns normie
soccer moms from Greenwich into reality-denying attack machines sputtering insults and cheering on lawbreakers because they
can't face up to the unpopularity of the far-left agenda. As blathering Joe Biden retreated into the background and
suggested to the world that America was in the hands of a man who should be shuffling around Sunset Acres in a bathrobe,
Psaki became the face of an administration that is determined to head into the midterms like Thelma and Louise.
'Call
a Doctor or Pediatrician' — Psaki When Asked What Parents Should Do if They Can't Find Baby Formula.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday was grilled on the baby formula shortage created by the Biden Regime.
In 25 states, 40-50% of baby formula is out of stock. In 5 states over 50% of baby formula is out of stock. The
Biden Regime is shipping pallets of baby formula to US border facilities for illegal aliens while American babies go hungry.

The
Leftwing Insurrection. According to the propaganda narrative of the media, Donald Trump and the Republican
Party foment insurrection and illegitimacy in American politics. Only the noble left, with its commitment to democracy,
can defend America and its institutions and rule of law. This is hogwash and anyone free from the tyrannic propaganda
of the media knows it. In reality, the left peddles insurrectionist language and promotes the idea of American
illegitimacy so as to endorse insurrectionist behavior — "in the name of democracy" though. Joe Scarborough,
one of the most annoying individuals to ever purvey television propaganda, has recently called the Supreme Court
"illegitimate." So have other liberal opinion writers. And what does all this talk of Court illegitimacy
bring? Insurrectionist beliefs. It is an announcement for haters of America to begin burning property and
launching violent protests aimed at desecrating the rule of law in the United States. It is the go-ahead for the army
of Bolshevik street-warriors to assail American institutions and the freedom they uphold.
GOP
Poised to Clean Up in State Legislative Races, Too. Republicans are on a roll nationwide and it doesn't appear
they'll lose that luck anytime soon. Not only is the GOP maintaining its lead in the generic congressional ballot, but
surveys from several key states show Republicans losing little ground to Democrats. But if you really want to know what
the political landscape in the states is, just look at what the other party is doing. And Democrats — so
optimistic when Biden took office — are now pulling back and regrouping, and lowering their expectations for gains
in state legislatures, as the party suffers from its association with Joe Biden.
In
Fort Worth, a sign that leftist cultural dominance may have peaked. Fort Worth, Texas, is the county seat in
Tarrant County. Around 35% of its population is Hispanic. In 2020, Tarrant County, along with other urban and/or
heavily Hispanic districts in Texas, voted for Joe Biden. Admittedly, he won by a tiny margin in Tarrant County, but
that did seem to suggest a shift towards Democrats in a major urban area. However, on Saturday, any pro-Democrat
momentum seemed to have stopped dead when a conservative parents' organization was able to see all its candidates win in four
suburban board elections. Most people have one thing they know with absolute certainty and you cannot lie to them about
that one thing. For example, because my parents lived for decades in Israel and were soldiers in its War of
Independence, that was my truth and, when NPR kept making statements I knew were untrue, that shifted me away from being a
Democrat. Likewise, my beauty-conscious mother, who'd been dazzled by Jackie Kennedy, was finally convinced that the
media were not to be trusted when they kept insisting that Michelle Obama was a Jackie Kennedy-esque style icon.
Why
Would Rural Americans Vote for Those Who Hate Them? It never ceases to amaze me when the same politicians and
pundits who spew vile rhetoric aimed at rural Americans all year long turn around and ask for those Americans' votes.
The New York Times (the titular "paper of record" that pushed Trump-Russia "collusion" lies while ignoring the Biden Crime
Family's quid pro quo money-making in Ukraine) recently featured an opinion piece claiming that "Biden has already done more
for rural America than Trump ever did." Democrat lemmings quickly regurgitated the overrated rag's propaganda.
After feeling the tug on his leash from Old Witch Pelosi, the honey-trapped Congressman Eric Swalwell (whose dimwittedness
made him a natural target for the Chinese Communist Party to compromise) laughably insisted that under China Joe's lethargic
leadership, "we are all doing much better ... especially ... rural America." As is only fitting for a regime requiring
its own Ministry of Truth, Swalwell then instructed his (brain-dead) Twitter followers to share the Times story "to make sure
we all understand."
US
billionaires' demand for 'golden passport' schemes that sell citizenships to 'safe' countries for up to $6.5 million.
Soaring numbers of wealthy Americans are buying 'golden passports' that grant them citizenship to New Zealand, Portugal and
other 'safe' countries over fears of impending civil war in their home country. Henley & Partners, a firm that helps
the wealthy shop around for citizenship across the globe, said sales to American nationals worth between $50 million and $20 billion
have shot up more than 337 percent since 2019, Business Insider reported. Countries involved — including
Portugal, Malta, New Zealand and Austria offer citizenship or visas that lead to citizenship in return for heavy investment
in the host national, and a visit of just a few days there each year.
CNBC
Pushes Corporate Signaling as Companies Run Away From SCOTUS Abortion Issue. This week — so far, at
least — it appears that most corporations have wisely decided to remain taciturn about the flare-up regarding the
Supreme Court being poised to repeal Roe v. Wade. Now, before heaping praise too freely, surely the cause is that
there is a major example of this kind of corporate misstep still percolating in the news. Then, add to that the very
unstable nature of the abortion debate itself, and it becomes more a case of looking to see which company is dumb enough to
light the fuse from its public relations division. Yet at CNBC, they seem mystified that there is a uniform silence
from Wall Street to this point.
Biden

• The party that wants babies to be killed no matter what stage of pregnancy or the party that wants limits?
• The party that wants energy independence or the party that is seeking to destroy America by destroying the fossil fuel industry, despite no scientific evidence that fossil fuel consumption controls temperatures?
• The party that is for no bail or the party that believes that career criminals should be treated harshly?
• The party that wants to enforce immigration laws or the party that wants open borders?
• The party that believes that males should be able to compete with women or the majority of us?
• The party that believes that people should use restrooms and locker rooms based on how they feel or the rest of us, who think body parts and science should control what facilities we use?
• The party that wants to move toward socialism or the rest of us, who believe that capitalism has created the greatest country that ever existed?
• The party that believes that requiring photo IDs to vote is racist or the rest of us who understand that adults of all races can easily obtain a photo ID and that common sense tells us voter verification is important?
• The party that believes that children age five to eight should be encouraged to analyze their sexual identity or the rest of us, who believe that that is nuts and dangerous?
Disney
Lost $63 Billion in Market Capitalization Since Going Full Woke in Florida. The Walt Disney Co. has lost nearly $63 billion

Parental Rights in Education law. Shares of Disney have plummeted 23.5 percent since the start of March, falling from
$145.70. Market cap is down $62.6 billion, from $265.3 to $202.7 billion. For the past 12 months,Disney has
seen its stock drop more than 30 percent, making it the worst performing stock on the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Democrats
place American democracy in grave peril. How ironic it is that this group of totalitarians call themselves
Democrats and frequently talk about the importance of protecting democratic values. But the self-righteous seldom have
self-awareness. Perhaps they are brazen and no longer care how they appear. Perhaps they are doing what they
usually do, doing exactly what they claim their opponents do. The Democrats are the real insurrectionists who
relentlessly gnaw at the root of democracy when they are about to lose electoral contests. When the GOP campaigns
during the midterms, the importance of ensuring that the U.S. continues to function as a Democracy must be placed at the
center of its message.
Biden
Sues Alabama, Claims Ban on Transgender Child Abuse Violates 14th Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment states
that, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the
United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
At no point in time does it state that states are not allowed to ban child abuse simply because a particular group tends to
practice that abuse. For example, states can be raping 7-year-olds even though Mohammed married a 7-year-old
girl. Biden and his hack running the DOJ disagree. The DOJ has sued Alabama over Senate Bill (S.B.) 184 or the
Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act. The filing is filled with woke gibberish that makes lots of assertions
without ever meeting a basic legal standard.
NPR
Poll Puts Another Nail in Dems' Midterm Coffin. Just how doomed are Democrats in November's midterms? It
doesn't take a statistician to read the writing on the wall — inflation sitting at 40-year highs, gas reaching an
all-time high, a woke Democrat-education complex running amok, and an open border that's triggered drug, humanitarian, and
public health crises — and see that the party in power of the executive and legislative branches is in
trouble. A new poll out from NPR and Marist shows just how bad Democrats are doing and among which groups their support
is trailing GOP candidates by double-digits on the generic congressional ballot question that asks "If this year's election
for Congress were held today, which party's candidate are you more likely to vote for in your district?" Notably, the
poll found 52 percent of latino voters would vote for a Republican compared to 39 percent who would choose a Democrat.
In
2020, Biden was a political juggernaut in Massachusetts. A new poll shows voters have soured on him. A
lot. In March 2020, President Biden swept through Massachusetts' Democratic primary with a come-from-behind
Super Tuesday victory. He later topped Donald Trump by 33½ percentage points here, his second-largest margin of
victory in November. Few places lean more Democratic than Massachusetts, according to political forecasters. But
even in this deep blue stronghold, Biden has fallen hard. Just 46 percent of registered Massachusetts voters say they
approve of the job Biden is doing as president, with about the same proportion giving him a thumbs down, according to a new
Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll. Of the 765 registered voters surveyed, just two more — 354 to
352 — said they disapproved.
Jill
Biden Biography [is] a Total Flop, Sells 250 Copies in First Week. Jill Biden's biography was a total flop and
only sold 250 copies in its first week on the market. According to far-left Politico, the dulling of the Biden White
House isn't due to lack of talent in the press briefing room, but rather due to fulfillment of a central Biden promise: to
beat Trump and make DC news boring again. And because DC is boring, sales of Dr. Jill's biography:
"Jill: A Biography of the First Lady" have been a little slow. It has nothing to do with the fact that Jill Biden
is tacky, uninspiring, cheated on her first husband with Joe Biden and now abuses Biden, an elderly man who is clearly
suffering from dementia.
Democrats'
Endless 'State of Emergency' Is Why They're About to Get Walloped. When Trump was in office, COVID-19 was a
crisis and every unmasked presidential appearance all but an act of potential genocide. With Biden, it's time to turn
the page, even as the death count has mounted. With Trump sidelined, for now, and Biden plummeting in the polls,
Democrats and the liberal media have returned again and again to the manufactured emergency to try and control the
narrative. Remember the Georgia voting law (ridiculously called Jim Crow 2.0)? How about the viral images of border
agents whipping Haitians seeking asylum? (After the agents' actions were condemned by Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris,
and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, it turned out they were merely split horse reins.) Or how about one from the Trump era
that is relevant again: Russia paying bonuses for dead American troops? (There seems to be no evidence this
happened.) Meanwhile, real emergencies like the border, Afghanistan, crime, and inflation were downplayed by the
Biden administration and the MSM... until ignoring these problems became impossible.
Blacks
complain about Biden's open borders, and Democrats' foundations silence them. [Scroll down] There's no

"program officers" of far-left money behemoths such as George Soros's Open Society Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the
Omidyar Foundation, or a few Silicon Valley-ish others. That's why all of a sudden, borders must be open, gay marriage
is no longer open to debate, transgender indoctination is de rigeur, and greenie nonsense and critical race theory permeate
all fields of public policy no matter how tenuous the connection. Anyone, including anyone on the left, who might just
prefer a more nuanced interpretation of the proclamation or be concerned about cost-benefit analysis, is dubbed an instant
bigot and all the foundation cash upon which the little magazine, or the university endowment, or the activist organization
is dependent, is swiftly cut off. That keeps them in line, and the "program officers" in firm control.
WaPo's
Professional Doxxer, Who Outed Libs Of TikTok, Just Made Another Outrageous Statement. For most leftists,
particularly those who reside in the echo chamber of the mainstream media and under the protection of Big Tech censorship,
self-awareness has never been a key component of their skill set. The mindset apparently operates something like this:
I'm wonderful, only my opinions matter, all criticisms of me and my work are ill-founded. And for that reason, the ends
justify their means, no matter how reprehensible those means may be. Last week, Washington Post reporter (please,
let's stop calling her a journalist) Taylor Lorenz was the subject of widespread mockery as she was called out for some of the
most outrageous media hypocrisy we've seen in years.
Attack
on Democracy: Democrats Still Believe Hillary Won in 2016. If you insist that the 2020 election was
stolen, you'll be accused of pushing "the big lie," inciting an insurrection, and attacking democracy. But if you
believe that Hillary Clinton was the legitimate winner of the 2016 election, that just makes you a Democrat. [... A]ccording
to a new Rasmussen Reports survey, 72% of Democrats still believe that Russia "succeeded" in altering the outcome of the 2016
election, putting Donald Trump in the White House. Despite thinking that Russia managed to alter the outcome of the
2016 election, Democrats insist that the 2020 election was the safest and most secure in history. However, as Democrats
are widely expected to lose their majority in November, a majority of Democrats (53%) believe it is likely that Russia will
try to interfere with the 2022 midterms.

the liquor stores open? Why did we wear those cloth masks? [...] Why did we let them steal the presidency? Why do
we let them imprison and abuse righteous protesters against that massive crime?
Can
anyone spot the hypocrisy as progs fight for special tax status for Disney? Democrats are fighting to destroy
all fossil fuel companies in the U.S., which harms all of us, especially the poor. They seek to destroy for-profit
colleges. They rail against the rich and big corporations[.] But they are somehow outraged that anyone would
threaten to take away special tax breaks from Disney, which owns ABC, because Florida doesn't want first- to third-graders
taught about gender, which most Americans don't want, either.
Ten
Democrats [are] joining Republicans in opposing Biden's plan to end Title 42. Centrist Democrats and those up
for reelection in November may have taken a hint from polls that show the public is upset with the administration's handling
of the border and chosen to inch away from Biden. More than half, 56%, of poll respondents oppose ending Title 42,
according to an April 6 Morning Consult/Politico survey. The results make Biden's decision his "most unpopular decision
so far." The conclusion of Title 42 could create an optics nightmare for Democrats months before voters go to
the polls, as well as a national security concern. Homeland security officials anticipate as many as 18,000 people a day
could be encountered trying to enter the United States in the six weeks after Title 42 ends, far more than the several
thousand encountered per day at present.
Ex-school
official sues Virginia board over anti-racism training. A former assistant principal is suing a Virginia school
board, claiming that she was forced out of her job for a "slip of the tongue" during a mandatory "anti-racism" training based
on Critical Race Theory. Emily Mais, who was the assistant principal at Agnor-Hurt Elementary School, accused the
school district in a lawsuit filed Thursday of pushing her out in fall 2021 after she mistakenly used the words "colored
people" as she railed against the training session. Though Mais apologized for the "slip of the tongue, "a teacher's
aide, who is black, verbally attacked her in front of all training attendees, the lawsuit filed in Albemarle County claims.
Lifelong
Democrat, Former Police Chief Changes Parties, Makes Run For Congress. A former New York police chief and
longtime Democrat says he is so disgusted with the contempt members of his party have for cops that he is running for
Congress as a Republican. Former Rochester Police Chief La'Ron Singletary, who is vying to represent the Empire State's
25th Congressional District, told The Daily Wire he can no longer support the Democrat Party because of its anti-police
rhetoric. "The demonization, the demoralization, and the defunding the police rhetoric from the Democratic Party,
coupled with other ideologies the Democratic Party started to take on caused me to leave the party," said Singletary, 42.
"The Democratic Party was no longer the party that I knew it to be, and no longer the party of my parents."
The Editor says...
Always beware of party-switching Democrats. If they change parties, it's probably only for the purpose of getting elected. Of course
nobody wants to vote for an anti-police, tax-and-spend, baby-killing Democrat, so the easiest way around that is to abandon the Democrat label.
ABC's
Scott Admits Dems Don't Talk About Defund[ing] The Police Anymore. During This Week's "Powerhouse
Roundtable" discussion on the soaring crime rates in major American cities and what should be done about it, there seemed to
be agreement that the Democrats' "defund the police" agenda is dead. Anchor George Stephanopoulos then turned to
panelist and ABC congressional correspondent Rachel Scott and asked: "you don't hear defund the police too much on Capitol
Hill, anymore?" Scott confidently replied, "No, not at all, actually" and aside from the "handful of progressives over in
the House" that want to defund the police, there hasn't been a peep from Democrat lawmakers about that wildly unpopular agenda.
Democrats
have gone AWOL on their constituents. When Hawaii Democratic Rep. Kai Kahele announced he would challenge
then-Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to represent Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District, he attacked Gabbard for abandoning her duties
as a member of Congress in favor of a long-shot presidential campaign. Now, less than two years into his own first
term, it is Kahele who is not showing up for work — at least not for the job taxpayers are paying him to do.
Georgia
Restaurant Owner Tells Biden Supporters to Dine Elsewhere. A Georgia restaurant owner posted a notice on the
establishment's window slamming President Joe Biden and his "ignorant" supporters and attributed the rise in supply costs and
shortage of workers for his restaurant to the policies implemented by the Biden administration. The sign, posted
outside of an Appalachian Grill restaurant in Cartersville, Georgia, was initially shared Sunday in a Reddit forum before
going viral on several social media platforms. The notice instructed Biden voters who have no regrets about their vote
in the 2020 election to take their business somewhere else.
No
one is hiding how pro-LGBTQ Disney's latest movie is. Earlier this month, an LGBTQ+++ buzz started circulating
regarding Disney's latest movie, Better Nate Than Ever. American Thinker covered that groundswell of excitement
here. Given the collapse of Disney's reputation as it put its corporate weight behind fighting a Florida bill keeping
sexual identity talk out of kindergarten through third-grade classrooms, one might think Disney and other leftists might have
tried to downplay the overtly LGBTQ+++ theme in a "family" movie. The opposite, however, is true. Since Disney
went to war against Florida parents, and videos emerged showing Disney executives boasting about using the company's platform
and reputation to push LGBTQ content, Disney's standing with families has plummeted. Earlier this week, almost 70% of
Americans stated that they were less likely to do business with Disney. That is a catastrophic number for a corporation.
Majorities
see Biden's latest border order as huge mistake. President Joe Biden's plan to lift Title 42, the pandemic
edict allowing for the blanket expulsion of migrants entering the United States at the southern border, lacks support from
not only Republicans but also the majority of independents and a significant number of Democrats across the country.
The administration announced April 1 that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would lift the Trump-era order
starting May 23, allowing for the normal processing of refugee asylum requests inside the U.S. The administration has
repeatedly stated that the order is a "public health" measure meant to stop the spread of COVID-19, as opposed to what some
left-wing activists have described as a cruel immigration restriction put in place by Biden's predecessor.
Inflation
exposes the arrogance of the Biden Democrats. Of all the Democrats' gestures of contemptuous indifference
toward ordinary people, President Joe Biden's 8.5% inflation rate is the most provocatively insouciant. Bidenflation,
more than any of his many other culpable failures, will prompt voters to respond in November with a gut punch to the party's
solar plexus. One should not minimize the impact of other blows to public morale from outrages such as the cultural
revolution against every traditional norm, the disgrace of U.S. capitulation to a ragtag army of medieval Afghan farmers,
Biden's abandonment of national sovereignty at the Mexican border, or the performative diktats of his tinpot COVID
bureaucrats. All these contribute to our sour national mood. [...] Biden's decision to print money, enthusiastically
backed by congressional Democrats, has produced the sharpest inflation spike in four decades. This was entirely
predictable and frequently predicted.
Sex-Change
Surgeries for Kids: A-OK With Biden. The Biden administration recently sent a letter to the attorney
general of each state, warning the top law enforcement officials that they could be violating civil rights law if they don't
comply with "gender-affirming care" procedures for children. But just what is this gender-affirming care promoted by
President Joe Biden, and how does it affect kids? Jay Richards, a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation's
DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society, says the term is a euphemism for giving hormones to children and, in many cases,
performing irreversible surgery on them. These hormones and surgeries have long-term consequences for a child.

Thought People Would Pay For CNN": CNN+ Is A Hilarious Failure. It's not a shock to you or me that CNN+ is
crashing and burning. We could have told the CNN bosses this idea wouldn't work, and we could have told Chris Wallace
that his move to CNN+ would be an epic disaster. The writing was on the wall. But the left lives in a clueless,
out-of-touch bubble, especially the beltway liberals. They are on a whole 'nother astral plane of cluelessness.
And now, as we suspected, the bottom is already falling out, and it was just rolled out. Here come the job cuts.
Axios is reporting that investment and projections for CNN+ are expected to be cut dramatically in response to a low adoption
rate, two sources tell Axios.
Huge
Number of Americans Dropping Disney for Radical Position on Parental Rights Bill. Disney is a powerful company
but they may have just stepped in it big time with their position over a parents' rights bill that they falsely call the
"Don't Say Gay" law in Florida. The law doesn't say anything about "don't say gay." Indeed it doesn't mention "gay"
at all. [...] It's not hard to see why Americans — particularly parents — would be rejecting Disney if
they have an issue with this law. They're seriously hurting the brand that they have put out there for decades with
this radical approach. But it shows how radical they've become when it's more important to push that agenda than to pay
attention to the concerns of the parents who are their bread and butter.
Don't
New York Our Florida, Wyoming, Texas, Utah, Tennessee, Idaho, etc.. Driving around in our home state, Florida,
we are seeing an inordinate amount of two things. The first are license plates from blue states, especially New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Illinois. States that are hopelessly progressive with all the attendant accoutrements like
street crime with gun violence, exorbitant taxes and schools run by teacher unions advancing CRT. In past years, Florida
visitors are usually snowbirds who come south to avoid the frigid weather and hazardous driving conditions. [...] Now if
these scapegrace northern interlopers aren't smart enough to see that Governor DeSantis is a compelling factor for why
Florida is such a great state in which to live, then they should remain in their own troubled state. If they burden us
with their full-time presence they will undoubtedly vote for Charlie Crist to replace Ron DeSantis, who has a long history of
doing exactly the wrong thing for Florida. The last progressive candidate to run against DeSantis was Andrew Gillum
who, days after losing the election, was found inebriated and unconscious in a Miami hotel room with another man who had
overdosed on crystal meth that police found scattered on the bed and floor. Gillum only lost by 90,000 votes [...]
One Funeral at a Time.
Since the middle of the last century, Ohio has been viewed as a bellwether for the mood of the American people.
Presidential campaigns have focused on the state, believing it is always the key to victory. Only twice since the
Second World War has Ohio failed to vote for the winner of the presidential election. Interestingly, those two outlier
elections were marred by credible allegations of massive vote fraud. Putting aside the fraud issue, Ohio's centrality
to the Dionysian theater that is American politics makes the 2022 Senate race worth watching. [...] One of the things that
jumps out about the candidates is none of them have ever had what most people think of as a job. [...] Of course, in modern
American politics the great disqualifier is ever having spent time in the dreaded private sector. The political class
will forgive just about anything, even extreme sexual deviancy, but they will never forgive someone for having done
productive work among the Dirt People. Central to the identity of the Cloud People is avoiding those gross smelly
people called citizens.
The
New Democratic Voter Outreach Strategy That Will Guarantee a GOP Victory in November. The Democrats are
enthusiastically embracing a new voter outreach strategy. It's called "paid relational organizing," and it involves
paying activists to talk to their friends, family members, and neighbors to convince them that Joe Biden and the Democrats
are exactly what the United States of America needs in these troubled times. As NROs Charles Cooke points out, this
strategy may end up getting a lot of Republicans elected.
Democrats'
'Don't Say Gay' Gaslighting Is Driving the Middle Class to Republicans. At the peak of the Critical Race Theory
controversy in June of 2021, I was invited to Waukesha, Wisconsin to give a speech in front of a crowd of what was supposed
to be a few hundred people about my thoughts on race and CRT in schools. 600 people showed up — double the number
the organizers had expected. This wasn't a Trump rally filled with politically active people; on the contrary, it was a
crowd of concerned parents who wanted to learn. They were your middle of the road, working-class Americans who had been
witnessing their public-school systems actively work against them, and they wanted to understand why, and what to do about
it. While the event was centered around CRT and the hyper-racialization happening in the surrounding school districts,
I quickly found out that their concerns were much bigger than race; they were worried about things they believed their
children were being taught about gender and sexual orientation, too. And they were not wrong: Since then, these
parents have showed me documentation of school assignments introducing gender ideology and what they see as inappropriate
sexual content either given to or made available to their children.
Cops
to Biden: Keep your $30 billion in "please vote for Democrats" money and change your pro-criminal
policies. There are endless perspectives as to law enforcement tactics, historic violence, and police
reform. I read multiple articles daily regarding violent crime and policing, mostly from progressive publications
creating ninety percent of the content. The political and ethical divide is immense. From progressives:
Police violence and tactics are in desperate need of reform. Cops are routinely described as unethical and repressive;
their primary purpose is to oppress minorities and the powerless. The endless parade of articles about the failings of
"all" cops properly set the tone for most media coverage. They believe that stereotyping a million people in law
enforcement based on the actions of a few is perfectly acceptable, it's indicative of larger concerns. To progressives,
most cops are the problem, not the solution. From pro-police organizations: They believe that President Biden and
progressives are completely out of touch with the American public, including minorities.
Jen
Psaki Threatens Parents Who are Blocking 'Medically Necessary, Life-Saving' Transgender Surgeries for Children.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki had a threatening message for parents and states who are standing in the way of gender
reassignment surgeries for their children. There will be consequences. [Video clip] [...] Votes across the
country are banding together to prevent aggressive White House overreach on transgender policies, including proposals that
U.S. taxpayers foot the bill for gender reassignment surgeries. On Thursday [4/7/2022], Alabama passed HB322 [by a vote
of] 26Y [to] 5N, the nation's first bill in over 8 years that bans 'transgender' self-identification from being used as a
pretext to enter an opposite-sex bathroom. On April 3rd, Arizona banned 'gender reassignment' surgery for minors.
Defense
Secretary Austin open to non-binary persons enlisting in the Armed Forces. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said
on Thursday [4/7/2022] that he was open to allowing people who identify as "non-binary" to serve in the U.S. military.
He gave his stamp of approval to non-binary troops during questioning by Sen. Marsha Blackburn at a Senate Armed
Services Committee hearing. The Tennesse Republican asked Mr. Austin about recent reports that the Pentagon was
quietly studying how non-binary troops could join the ranks. While Mr. Austin refused to confirm the status of the
study, the defense chief signaled that he had no qualms with non-binary recruits.
Reporters
call for White House to 'simply ignore' Supreme Court decisions. Some reporters are calling on President Biden
to ignore Supreme Court decisions that they believe are politically motivated. On Wednesday, the Supreme Court
temporarily reinstated a Trump-era that limits the power of the states to block energy projects that can potentially pollute
rivers, streams and other waterways. In a split 5-4 decision, the justices overturned a lower court judge's order to
throw out the rule until the Biden administration can implement a new rule which is expected in spring 2023.
The
Constitution Creates a Republic, not a Democracy. Leading Democrats advocate rule by their President through
executive order without resort to Congress. They favor elimination of the electoral college as "anti-democratic." They
favor adding to the number of justices on the Supreme Court those preferred by Democrats until they dilute the conservative
majority and render the Court reflective of the will of Congress and no longer independent. They support speech codes
on college campuses to eliminate dissenting conservative views. They support cancel culture and Big Tech censorship as
a means of ensuring that voices dissenting from their orthodoxies are suppressed. They support expansion of
administrative state regulation to circumvent Congress so that climate change and social engineering initiatives may proceed
at the will of the executive branch beyond the extent palatable to the American people. In short in the struggle
between state power and individual liberty, they favor biased application of state power (supporting it in violation of
rights whenever they favor the ends, and opposing it whenever they oppose the ends).
Democrats
Have Painted Themselves into a Corner. [Scroll down] The Democrats do not have a single reasonable
leader that is acceptable to any major portion of real America. Whatever moves they make or don't make will have little
effect on the November election. The destruction that Democrats have unleashed on America is mind-boggling. Who
would possibly imagine that doubling gas prices would gain votes? Sanctioning Russia while simultaneously sanctioning
our domestic energy industry is beyond insanity. And it has been done with such rapidity that even voters with short memory
can see it. Inflation around ten percent according to the Everyday Price Index is hitting poor Americans in the wallet.
Biden
Administration Decides Mutilating Children Is a Civil Right. Some days, I go to write an article and it's
dealing with a topic so egregiously insane that I almost feel like I'm covering satire. Today is one of those
days. The Biden Administration, via the DOJ, has sent a letter to attorneys general around the country threatening to
sue if states attempt to stop the mutilation of children in the form of "gender reassignment" surgery, hormone blockers, and
other actions that change the natural development of a child. In other words, Joe Biden and his degenerate underlings
now view physically "transitioning" a child as a civil right, which tracks with the video the president put out on Thursday
on the matter. [Tweets]
It's
Like Democrats Want to Be Crushed in November. Who says we can't build bridges with the commie-loving,
groomer-excusing, weather-worshiping race freaks of the left? We both seem to agree on one thing — all good
and patriotic Americans need to take action to ensure that this pedo-curious, race-obsessed band of Marxist weirdos gets
[soundly defeated] next November. Well, I think we agree on that. I know I do, and I know you do — we
want to see them suffer total repudiation and more humiliation than even a Bulwark staffer can get into. But what is
odd is that they seem to want the same thing. After all, they are doing everything they can to drive every decent
American away from the garbage Democrat Party. Who knows why it is? Maybe the Democrats have a death wish.
Eyes Wide Shut.
The cultural Left has managed to associate the Democratic Party with a series of views — on crime, immigration,
policing, free speech, and, of course, race and gender — that are far from those of the median voter. That's
a success for the cultural Left but an electoral liability for the Democratic Party. From time to time, Democratic
politicians, like Biden in his State of the Union address on March 1, try to dissociate themselves from unpopular ideas such
as defunding the police, but the cultural Left within the party is still more deferred to than opposed or ignored.
Their voices are amplified by Democratic-leaning media and nonprofits, as well as by party officials and activists.
Leftist
Infiltration of the Police Will Lead To Tyranny. When Joe Biden read from his State of the Union script about
the unprecedented crime wave we are now facing (thanks to leftist policies), he stated: "The answer is to fund
the police." At that, the Democrats in Congress leaped to their feet to applaud, however insincerely. But after
eight years of supporting the lies of Black Lives Matter Marxists and leftist elites — that American policing is
systemically racist, cops are routinely hunting unarmed black men, and that the real answer to alleviating crime is to empty
the jails and defund the police — their phoniness was palpable. On crime and policing, most Americans
correctly see the Democrats as fakes. The Democrats are terrified because the poll numbers are coming in, and they are
desperate to escape a righteous political reckoning in November. Still, it would be a big mistake to believe that the
radical Left hates the idea of policing altogether. They have no problem with the police if they can control the
mission. In a way, the police are just another tool of the regime.
Biden
backs green radicals even though Americans want U.S. energy. Americans are frustrated with skyrocketing gas
pump prices, but they disagree dramatically with President Biden on how to fix the problem. A national survey just
conducted by the Winston Group reveals a strong bipartisan majority of Americans prefer an "everything" energy
approach — more oil drilling, more alternatives, maximum carbon free nuclear energy, and doing more to promote
conservation. Yet, President Biden, facing record high inflation and record low approval ratings, remains committed to
his political alliance with radical green environmentalists. [...] Let's look further at what Biden has done. As one of
his first acts in office, he shuttered construction of the Keystone XL pipeline; it was President Biden who ended federal oil
leases and it was the Biden Administration who begged Riyadh and Caracas to produce more energy instead of allowing U.S.
energy producers to fill the energy gap and keep prices in check.
Biden,
the Ersatz President. Consider the major initiatives undertaken or proposed by the current Democratic
regime: • The dissolution of our border integrity, with intentional unrestricted illegal
immigration. • Ending American energy independence, curtailing fossil fuel exploration and
production — astonishingly, before a viable replacement exists! — and imposing crippling restrictions
on future fossil fuel energy industry activity. • Supporting destructive BLM activities and riots,
favoring defunding the police, eliminating cash bail and decriminalizing what liberals laughably refer to as "low-level"
crimes like shoplifting, robbery and breaking & entering. • Endorsing positions clearly opposed by the
majority of the country, such as men competing in women's sports, the U.S. military paying for gender-change surgery, males
being able to declare that they "identify as women" and enter female bathrooms and locker rooms, elementary-age children
being taught and exposed to "alternative" LGBTQ lifestyles far before children have any natural understanding or interest in
such matters, and so on. [...] • Denuding our military of its equipment, mission and spirit by
attempting to transform it into a mechanism for social change instead of a sharply honed, singularly aimed instrument of
national security. [...] This is the difference between a president concerned with bottom-line beneficial results and one
who's concerned with laughably shallow meaningless activity that amounts to nothing, other than buying the favor and future
votes of niche special interest groups.
HHS
Becomes First Federal Agency to Fly 'Trans Pride Flag'. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on
Thursday became the first federal agency to fly the "trans pride flag," Axios reported. HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra
tweeted a photo of the "trans pride flag" outside the Hubert Humphrey building on Thursday morning, accompanied by a
statement of support for the transgender activist agenda.
The Editor says...
If Hubert Humphrey were alive today, he would demand to have the flag taken down, or have his name taken off the building.
Only
3% Think COVID is the Most Important Problem Facing America. Another data point for the preference
cascade. In Jan, 20% of Americans thought COVID was the most important problem facing Americans, in Feb it was 13%, and
in March, it's down to 3%. Tied with health care and lack of energy sources. Inflation has gone from 8% to 10%
to 17%. The economy is at 11%. Gas prices are at 4%. Only 2% think that the wealth gap is an important
issue. Racism is down to 5%. Russia/Ukraine is at 9%. So some of this is a function of media coverage.
It can and will change.
Democrats
Need to Be Destroyed. [Y]ou'd be an idiot to believe anything coming out of the mouths of Democrats these
days. No "good faith effort" is going to make them honest, they are lying frauds out to destroy everything great in
this country. They're a Terminator for American Exceptionalism. As such, they have no conscience, they can't be
reasoned with, they must be destroyed. Rush Limbaugh used to say he wanted to convince everyone over to conservatism,
but he wanted a few liberals around still just to show people what they were like, otherwise no one would believe there were
people that crazy. That was a couple of generations of insanity ago. What currently calls itself Democrats
bears no resemblance to what once was "Democrats."
First
Openly 'Transgender' Judge Appointed to California Bench. California has appointed its first openly
'transgender' judge, announced Governor Gavin Newsom (D) on Friday [3/25/2022]. Judge Andi Mudryk, 58, who "transitioned"
four years ago, is one of eight new appointees to serve on the Sacramento County Superior Court. [...] Social justice
advocates throughout the state lauded the move as a victory for "diversity and equity."
Oscar
winners are almost seven times more likely to suffer from mental health and addiction issues than other people, shows
analysis. Analysis by Paracelsus Recovery, a clinic that has treated dozens of celebrities, said 'fame should
come with a health warning' after it emerged that two-thirds of actors who have won Academy Awards over the past 30 years
experienced disorders. Of the 60 performers who won either the Best Actor or Best Actress gong since 1992, 41 have
suffered from a mental health issue — with depression, anxiety and substance abuse the most common problems.
Last night, psychotherapist Dr Paul Hokemeyer, a leading expert on celebrity mental health, said fame was often associated
with 'fear, pain and loneliness', and major success can lead to impostor syndrome.
The Editor says...
Actors make a living by pretending to be something they are not. (With the exception of Chuck Norris, of course.)
They relish the adulation of their many fans. So it's no wonder the best actors and actresses suffer from mental illness.
It
isn't 'fringe left' hurting Democrats — the fringe IS the Dems. Democratic pundits, worried about
the midterms and Joe Biden's terrible approval ratings, are sounding the alarm: That dastardly "fringe" is hurting the
party. "This whole noisy, identity left" composing "15% of the party" has taken over (James Carville). "The
Democrats have to step away from the super wokeness" (MSNBC host Donny Deutsch). But what's the distinction between
super wokeness and ordinary wokeness when the party's oldest and most mainstream members are all pushing ideas that would
have seemed outlandish in the Obama era? Biden offered a Fed nominee who said she wanted to deny credit to the fossil
fuel companies that power America, and tried to put an actual Marxist in charge of the currency. Only 10% of the
senators in the party spoke out against this.
The
correlation between vaccines and the Ukraine-Russia war. [Scroll down] The new Democrats — the
people on college campuses like Obama's friends Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn — were not anti-communist. They
were very pro-communist. They opposed the Vietnam War for two reasons: (1) As products of American academia they
supported the Viet Cong; and (2) also as products of American academia, they opposed anything that would benefit what they
were already viewing as an evil, imperialist, racist, sexist nation that did not deserve support. [...] And then, along came
Trump and COVID. The anti-war protesters from the 1960s and the 2000s despised Trump more than any other human being, ever
("worse than Hitler"). Additionally, the young'uns had absorbed the concentrated America-hatred of two to three generations
of leftist academics. They embraced COVID, not just because they're fearful people, but because they saw it as an
opportunity to destroy Trump. They also quickly realized that COVID was giving them the political and social power
they'd always dreamed of so that they could break down and remake America.
Bloomberg
columnist's tips for beating Bidenflation don't go over very well. An out-of-touch academic, writing a column
for Bloomberg Opinion, demonstrated just how out of touch the country's elites are as inflation hits every sector of the
country. [...] The "advice" also included a recommendation to cut chemotherapy for one's dog as if that would solve the
inflation problem for a loving pet owner. Memo to Bloomberg columnist Teresa Ghilarducci of the New School for Social
Research: Poor people already know how to cut back. It's called 'not having enough money.' And as a hint as to
how out of touch she was, Tweeters went to town on her. Start with this one — anybody checked out the price
of lentils?
Bloomberg
Has Inflation Advice for Proles Making Less Than $300k a Year — Shut Up, Eat Lentils, Ride the Bus and Kill Your
Pets. You might wonder what the ruling class thinks of how inflation is hitting middle America. For
insight into their perspective, Bloomberg News just published some suggestions for all the unwashed masses — as
defined as those who don't earn $300,000 per year. The advice includes, shut up about the price of food, and eat
lentils instead of meat. Quit bitching about gasoline prices, and just ride the bus, and the coup de grâce, "If
you're one of the many Americans who became a new pet owner during the pandemic, you might want to rethink those costly pet
medical needs." Yeah, they said that. Us pesky proles and our pets are just mucking up the planet for the rest of
them. [...] The elitist arrogance, in the "no one said this would be fun" approach, is quite remarkable. However, it
does show the snob-set no longer feel the need to filter their elitism. The class gap has always existed, and whenever
leftist policies are in place, that gap gets wider every second.
Latest
Inflation Advice Goes From Insulting to Psychotic. Inflation continues to slam the American people in ways not
seen in over 40 years following the Jimmy Carter administration. The February number clocked in at 7.9 percent, and
there are no signs things are going to slow down. Will we soon be at 10 percent inflation? That's not a bad bet,
at this point. That reality has left poor and middle-class Americans scrambling as they have had to essentially absorb
a massive pay reduction due to the increased costs of goods and services. Of course, gas prices are also nearly double
what they were when Joe Biden took office. So, how is our intrepid media handling that? Are they holding the
powerful to account? Nah, they are giving advice like this. [Tweet]
Moderate
Dem quits Congress in disgust, denouncing 'rainbows and unicorns'. With the Squad, the greenie lobby, the
teachers' unions, and the open borders industrial complex calling the shots in the Democratic Party these days, it's
obviously no picnic to be a moderate member of the Democrats in Congress. Which is why 31 of them are leaving, most
fully aware that a red wave is coming. But perhaps more importantly albeit less well known is that many of them angry
at how the crazed Democrats have treated them.
With
Push For Electric Vehicles, Democrats Pursue The Paris Hilton Strategy On Energy. At record-breaking gas prices
slapping families with a projected $2,000 in additional transportation costs this year, the switch to an electric vehicle may
sound tempting — were it not for the nearly $60,000 price tag. This plus the illogic of destroying U.S.
energy independence from the most reliable an inexpensive sources makes Democrats' lack of concern about gas prices a version
of Paris Hilton's famous Photoshopped T-shirt meme, "Stop being poor."
Congressional
liberals press Biden to declare emergency and restrict fossil fuels. Liberals in Congress are pressing
President Joe Biden to invoke emergency powers to push ahead with Democrats' climate change agenda and to put new
restrictions on fossil fuels, even while gasoline remains at its highest per-gallon price on record. With legislation
stalled in Congress, the nearly 100-member Congressional Progressive Caucus released a slate of policy recommendations
Thursday for Biden to pursue, calling on him to use executive action to deal with a list of topics his "Build Back Better"
agenda sought to address, including the development of more green energy technologies and placement of restrictions on new
fossil fuel production.
The
Atlantic warns that Nuclear War is a climate problem (and you thought bombs were OK?) Despite sounding crazily
disconnected from reality, Robinson Meyer is slightly less crazy than the cult people he's trying to reach. [...] Meyer has
figured out that a No Fly Zone might lead to World War III, and he's trying warn the raptured throngs, that things might not
work out so well. Naturally, he's speaking in lingua-leftie. But how, exactly do you scare someone in a climate
cult? Not with nuclear war, but with something catastro-double-awful-bad for the climate. [...] Ponder how far these
people are from reality, even at the sensible end of the spectrum.
The
Media Are Children Behaving Badly. Some months back, which means over ten years ago now, I read a commentary
about the official lies promoted by the Soviet government that was a complete reversal of historical fact. The
commentator bemoaned the fact that this has continued into current times and that so many of the youth had been so
indoctrinated by these lies they were incapable of understanding the truth. [...] As I watch the world, read the news and
watched as little of it as I did on TV in those days, which I don't watch at all now, I concluded that the lefties may be
right about their intelligence. Lefties are always trying to publish studies that show that leftists are so much
smarter than conservatives. Well... I'm not so sure they aren't right. Why? Because in order to bring
reality into line with what they claim they believe must require an enormous level of mental ability and logical
gymnastics. All of which must be mentally and emotionally exhausting in order to make the insane things they say and do
seem right.

Biden's
America: The inmates are running the asylum. How does one sanely describe what has happened to the United
States since Joe Biden was inaugurated? The nation has been effectively ruined by the policies of Biden's band of
incompetents; every Cabinet member is a disaster, promoted for his previous record of failure. Not one of them is
qualified for the jobs they've been given. They were each chosen for precisely the wrong reason: their race, sex,
or leftist/green activism. [...] Consider Cabinet members Jake Sullivan, Ned Pryce, Janet Yellen, and Anthony Blinken.
Each of them has a record of incompetence and failure, even criminality. Sullivan was party to the fabrication of the
Russia hoax. Yellen, formerly of the Fed, now claims that the American people are economically in "good shape."
Biden and Pelosi both hilariously claim that government spending is not causing the worst inflation in forty years.
Pelosi even said it is "reducing our debt." These are very stupid people. They lie as they breathe.
Let
Them Drive Teslas. When [Vice President Kamala] Harris and Transportation Secretary Pete get together, it's
Platitudicon. As it was this week, when, as the reality of imminent historic gas price spikes was hitting Americans,
the duo spent the day promoting electric cars, the Green New Deal and the Environmental Protection Agency's
soon-to-be-tightened emissions standards. When it comes to energy, the Democrats adopt a bizarre elitist
disconnect: Propelled by theological belief in end-of-days climate alarmism, they assume that Americans will join them
in losing all sense of perspective and proportionality. Despite the perpetual championing of electric vehicles, less
than 1% of cars, SUVs and light trucks on the road in the United States are electric. The average cost of an electric
car is $55,000. Even with layers of subsidies that artificially bring it that low, the average price of an electric car is
around $19,000 higher than the price of an average gas-powered vehicle. The average Tesla goes for around $75,000.
Only
40% of Democrats would defend USA. 88% would defend Albania. Good news America. If Putin invaded the USA,
we will be rid of 52% of our Democrats. That's the percent of Democrats who said they would leave America rather than
fight to protect us. A Quinnipiac poll showed we'd be rid of our RINOs as well because 25% of Republicans would leave
America if invaded. The same poll showed 88% of Democrats support defending a NATO ally if Putin invades. Only
40% of Democrats support defending the USA. The poll asked, "If you were in the same position as Ukrainians are now, do
you think that you would stay and fight or leave the country?" 55% said stay and fight. 38% would cut and run.
Biden
shares tone-deaf plan to ensure 'no one will have to worry about gas prices'. President Joe Biden ridiculously
promoted his green agenda and advised Americans to purchase massively expensive electric cars so they will unrealistically no
longer have to worry about buying gas while deterring "tyrants like Putin" from using fossil fuels as a weapon.
"Loosening environmental regulations won't lower prices. But transforming our economy to run on electric vehicles,
powered by clean energy, will mean that no one will have to worry about gas prices. It will mean tyrants like Putin
won't be able to use fossil fuels as a weapon," the president tweeted. "It should motivate us to accelerate the
transition to clean energy," Biden declared according to The Driven.
Biden's
Handlers Want Skyrocketing Gas Prices. The EPA Just Revealed Why. The Democrats are well aware of the old
adage, "Never let a good crisis go to waste," and are busy applying it as gas prices spiral out of all control. As
PJM's Chris Queen discussed Monday, Transportation Secretary Pete "Mr. Mom" Buttigieg appeared to be fantastically out
of touch when he responded to skyrocketing prices at the pump. "Clean transportation can bring significant cost savings
for the American people as well," asserted Buttigieg. "Last month, we announced a $5 billion investment to build out a
nationwide electric vehicle charging network so that people from rural to suburban to urban communities can all benefit from
the gas savings of driving an EV." It was a real "Let Them Eat Cake" moment for Secretary Pete, but there is a method to
his madness: the administration isn't just out of touch, it is actively trying to use this crisis to impose its green agenda.
Manchin,
Tester: Why is Biden asking hostile regimes to solve US energy problems? Joe Manchin and Jon Tester have
rebuked the White House this morning for playing footsie with Venezuela and Iran while stiffing the American oil industry:
[Tweet] "Go back to the policies we've had before," Manchin tells CNN's Manu Raju. "That's all we're asking for."
That's all most Americans want too — a return to the oil-production policies of the Trump administration that
resulted in net energy independence. Biden's EOs and other regulatory actions to restrict oil leases made it more difficult
for US producers to keep pace with a post-pandemic growth curve, for one thing. Biden's cancellation of the Keystone XL
pipeline made it more difficult to increase imports from Canada as a buffer to American production, too.
Why
Should Deplorables Fight for Those Who Hate Them? [Scroll down] Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the wars of
the future will all be fought by politically correct, "detoxified," androgynous know-nothings marching uniformly into battle
because MSNBC, Google, and Teen Vogue tell them doing so will prove they are committed to fighting racism and global
warming. Maybe that gender-confused pipsqueak huddled in a "safe space" because he/she/they/it is afraid of
being "triggered" by words or the carnage of free speech is just what the U.S. military needs when going mano a mano
against the Russians. I'm sure those pink [...] hat-wearing womynx are ready to jump out of a good airplane,
parachute into chaos, and start slitting throats for good Ol' Uncle Sam (or is it non-binary Auxnt Sam now?).
Where are all the climate change warriors when their country needs them? Come on, "gladiators," get to it!
Go find out what it's like to fight something that's fighting back. Let's move, wokesters! Show the mean Russkies
how dangerous you are with your ski masks, bike chains, and fondness for attacking people from behind. All that
burning, looting, and murdering in cities across the USA over the last few years had to prepare Democrats' wannabe soldiers
for something, right?
One
of the Loudest Democrats Demanding We 'Defund the Police' Used Your Money for Private Security. Political
activism involves having ten percent care for the thing you're concerned about and about 90 percent utilizing that cause to
enrich yourself. The "defund the police" movement that happened alongside the Black Lives Matter movement during the
2020 elections convinced a lot of blue-state leaders to "reimagine" what policing looked like in their city. Criminals
didn't go along with "reimagining" what being a criminal looked like and many of the cities descended into crime-infested
hell holes with high homicide rates. It was so bad that even the bluest of the blue cities, San Francisco, began to
reverse course and demand their police force back.
A
Black Guy's Defense of the Constitution. Recently a leftist journalist from The Nation named Elie Mystal
referred to the U.S. Constitution as "trash". He appeared on The View last Friday to promote his new book "Allow me to
Retort: A Black Guys Guide to the Constitution". This is the ideological battle in which we are engaged in
America. Mr. Mystal must be commended for having the courage, albeit delusional, to admit to the Country the
progressive socialist leftist perspective on the US Constitution. It is no different than Virginia gubernatorial
candidate Terry McAuliffe, when he asserted that "parents do not have a right to decide what their children are being
taught". The left in America is so emboldened that they no longer feel the need to hide their disdain for this
Nation. The question is, for we, constitutional conservatives, what shall be our response?
The
Biden Inflation Octopus. The Democrats will suffer historic losses in the November midterms. [...] The culprit
for the political wipeout will be out-of-control inflation — and for several reasons. First, the Biden Administration
is in such denial of inflation that it sounds to Americans simply callous and indifferent to the misery it has unleashed.
Biden officials have scoffed at price spikes as "transitory." Or they have preposterously claimed spiraling costs are a
concern only to the elite. They blame the Ukraine crisis. Or they fault the out-of-office bogeyman, former
President Donald Trump. The administration assures us that consumer prices are only rising at an annualized rate
of 7.5% — as if the steepest increase in 40 years actually is not all that bad. Yet the middle class knows that
inflation is far worse when it comes to the stuff of life: buying a house, car, gas, meat, or lumber.
The
Economic Balloon That May Finally End Progressive Leftism. The Laws of Economics are as immutable as the Law of
Gravity, but few leftists grasp this fact. When it comes to the Democrats' energy policies, I believe this immutability
will finally be the Democrats' downfall. People are reaching a pain point that the progressives can no longer deflect
onto others. Based on the progressive left's detrimental influence on President Biden's energy policies, the resulting
accelerated inflation and energy-cost rise are very visible to average Americans. The administration acts as if there
is no causal connection between the two. But what can we expect from people who work from feelings and not facts?
Just like they are amazed when we defund police and don't jail criminals and then crime rates spike. No connection.

Psaki
Says the Quiet Part Out Loud. Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted on live TV that Putin makes his moves when we
have weaklings in the Executive Office. "You know I was at the State Department," Psaki told CNN. "The president was
the vice president the last time Russia invaded Ukraine. This is a pattern of horror from President Putin and from the
cronies around him." [...] A lot of us remember. A lot of us remember you as the State Department's press
secretary. A lot of us remember Obama putting Biden in charge of America's role in helping Ukraine weed out
corruption. A lot of us remember Biden's angelic son Hunter sitting on the Burisma board during that time. We
remember this delightful photo of you with Putin's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Pink is not a flattering color on
you, Psaki. Same for me as well. Lavrov is one of those cronies.
Joe
Biden Claims Inflation Is an Imaginary American Psychosis That Does Not Exist in Reality. It's an easy
disposable line to say Joe Biden is clueless about things. He stumbles with cognitive thought, has trouble putting
thoughts into understandable sentence structures using words, makes frequent gaffes and generally struggles to communicate
issues that are simple and not complex. When the issues are complex, the cognitive impairment gets worse. These
are easy truths to hit him with. However, there's a more concerning aspect once you listen to how genuinely he has been
led to believe in things that are fundamentally false. That's where the danger comes from. In this prompted
segment on COVID and the economy, Joe Biden references a perspective, a belief in current events, that has been seeded into
his brain by Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. I know it's hard to listen to him, but in this segment pay close
attention. Joe Biden believes, really believes, that a COVID induced mental psychosis is responsible for people
convincing themselves that prices have gone up, that inflation is extreme, and that economic pain is real. He has been
told that inflation does not exist, so he believes inflation is imaginary. [Video clip]
Jen
Psaki's Preview of What to Expect at Biden's SOTU Shows How Delusional This Administration Is. White House
Press Secretary Jen Psaki made an appearance on ABC's "This Week," [2/27/2022] where she offered a preview of what to expect
from President Joe Biden's State of the Union address, to be delivered this Tuesday. [Tweet] To close out her
segment, host George Stephanopoulos brought up a stark reality that Biden is facing right now. "Finally, the president
is approaching his State of the Union in a pretty difficult political position right now, 37 percent approval rating,
Democrats trailing badly in the midterm polling. A majority in our recent poll out this morning even question the
president's mental capacity," Stephanopoulos mentioned, highlighting the results of a new ABC News-Washington Post poll,
which I also covered earlier. "How is he going to turn that around on Tuesday night? And how much has his State
of the Union been changed by this war in Ukraine?" Stephanopoulos asked. Psaki seemed to have only heard the second
part of the question. She not only didn't respond to how Biden is "going to turn that around," she didn't acknowledge
the numbers Stephanopoulos had just brought up.
The
Ruling Class Is A Far Greater Threat To Americans Than Russia Is. There's no gentle way to say it, but the
truth is that a lot of us hate our elites far more than we hate some foreign dictator. It's a tough truth for the tough
place our civilization is in — and surely, it's a difficult truth for our ruling class to see amid the glare of
their self-righteousness. From Western Europe to West L.A., we know we're governed by leaders in business,
entertainment, and politics who hold scorn for our country, its history, its heroes, its people, and their religion.
They have the money and the power, too. They can freeze truckers' bank accounts and mask children as young as
three. They can order Australians into internment camps and host drag queen story hours. They can force
vaccinations, close churches, arrest priests, bankrupt businesses, prosecute bakers, empty prisons, defund police, and
sometimes even win votes. One thing they can't have, however, is the moral authority to rule a civilization they
despise. They are the very thugs they claim to stand against; they have no legitimacy.
Democrat
Congressman Suggests the Redistribution of Trucks. In the wake of the Freedom Convoy in Canada, there's a
convoy of American trucks heading to Washington, D.C. in time for next week's State of the Union address. [...] And now, one
Democrat congressman has an idea that may or may not be a joke, but it's definitely a way to one-up Justin Trudeau.
Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) quote tweeted an article about the American convoy on its way to D.C. by saying, "Perfect
time to impound and give the trucks to small trucking companies looking to expand their business." [Tweet] Yes, you
read that right. Gallego has suggested — possibly tongue-in-cheek, but who really knows these
days — that the feds seize the trucks and redistribute them to other companies.
Failing
cable news nets CNN and MSNBC poised for a bidding war over Psaki. There is a certain symmetry to the notion
that the spokesmouth for the failing Biden administration reportedly is being assiduously courted by the two failing cable
news networks, CNN and MSNBC, both of which have endured near-catastrophic ratings declines in the era of Biden. More
Biden cowbell... yea, that's the ticket.
Dem
support for Trudeau's protest suppression [is] nearly 4:1. Aren't these the same Democrats who hailed
obstructive protests in American cities during the spring and summer of 2020? Yes indeed, although one can say in some
fairness that the wind blows through both parties a bit when it comes to who's protesting and how. A new Trafalgar poll
shows Democrats have become big fans of Justin Trudeau and his use of wartime emergency powers to shut down a non-violent but
still obstructive truckers' protest over COVID-19 mandates in Canada.
Poll:
Majority Of Democrats Back Trudeau's Crackdown, Freezing Bank Accounts Of Truckers. A majority of likely
Democratic voters support Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's use of emergency powers to crack down on Freedom Convoy
protesters last week. A new poll from Trafalgar Group and Convention of States Action and provided exclusively to The
Daily Wire shows that 55% of likely general election voters disapprove of Trudeau's handling of the protesters.
Thirty-five percent approve of Trudeau's heavy-handed tactics and 10% said they were unaware of what was happening north of
the U.S. border. Trafalgar Group surveyed 1080 likely general election voters from February 18-20 after Trudeau brought
federal, provincial, and local law enforcement into Ottawa to forcibly clear out hundreds of protesters and dozens of
vehicles from Parliament Hill and surrounding areas. The poll's margin of error is 3%.
The
left is obsessed with extending problems. I was thinking about racism in America and how we hear the complaints
that America is racist, but we rarely hear solutions. The same tactic is being used with COVID-19. What happened
when somebody tested positive? Such people were sent home and told to stay away from other people. They were not
given a treatment plan. I have said before and then more convinced now than ever, that this is part of the larger plan
to divide us. The ultimate goal of that plan is to have complete control over us. You may say that there is a
plan to combat racism because of the laws that require minorities to be considered or to be given special
opportunities. You might say that quarantining someone who tested positive is preventing others from becoming infected
which in some weird way is a plan. But neither of those are plans to end racism or stop COVID-19. By using race as
a determining factor in hiring decisions we are extending racism. By not treating people with existing drugs or
holistic modalities come up we have extended the life and run of COVID-19.
'You
Will Know Them by Their Fruits'. I believe that most Americans and I usually try to give most folks the benefit
of the doubt. However, it is increasingly clear we can no longer do that. With every issue, with every passing
day, there is more news (when the news is honestly reported) that shows us exactly who these people are. They have
anointed and installed themselves at the top of our government, from the Oval Office to each executive branch and its myriad
government bureaucracies. They have established a clear pattern of behavior and are no longer hiding their motives or
their intentions. Everything is on full display. [...] Leftists are leftists, whether in America, the Soviet Union,
Vietnam, Venezuela, Cuba, or China. They are easily identified. We are increasingly able to discern the truth
about who they are, and that hat they intend to rule over us or they will crush us and burn everything down around us.
There is no longer any question about it.
Why
are the police we revere doing the tyrants' bidding? The American left has made its contempt of our police
abundantly clear for several years now. Encouraging the BLM riots, excusing the damage done, decreeing no punishment
for those who did billions of dollars in property destruction over the summer of 2020 was their coin of the realm.
Lacking common sense and any skill at predicting the consequences of idiotic policies, they have doubled down on stupid as
cities like N.Y., Chicago, D.C., and L.A. rack up homicides committed by career criminals repeatedly let loose on an
unsuspecting public. On a daily basis, innocent victims are attacked, injured, or killed by violent perpetrators who
have been released by cavalier lefty judges who have become self-appointed social justice warriors. This explains the
parade massacre in Waukesha, Wisconsin and nearly every other violent assault on innocent victims for the last year.
Our American left reveres criminals over law-abiding citizens. There can no longer be any doubt about that fact.
The Democrat party is, quite simply, pro-criminal.
The
Squishy Political Rise of the Beta Male. There are certain "qualities" that this new class of "leaders" all
possess. They went to good schools. They have multiple degrees. They have most likely not spent a large
part of their life in the private sector. They probably had an Alpha male father. They tend towards being on the
thin side. They eat healthily and exercise regularly. They are at some level aware of their Beta status and
therefore deeply insecure. They socialize almost exclusively with people like themselves. They don't yell... in
public. They have fixers who handle the dirty work. They like well-worn paths and tracks. They speak in
jargon. They don't think outside the box and, in fact, specialize in building boxes. They believe in focus groups
and task forces. They treat staff poorly. They over-react. They truly believe themselves to be a new superior
form of human and, therefore, should automatically be treated as such. And because of all that, they know better.
That
Backlash Against Democrats Everyone Predicted Has Arrived. For years, Republicans have been predicting that
Nancy Pelosi's embrace of the so-called "squad" would lead to a political backlash, and that backlash appears to have
arrived. Democrats are now lamenting the fact that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, and
Ayanna Pressley have been allowed to define their party at such a high level. From the Green New Deal to the "defund
the police" movement, Democrat radicalism is becoming a major liability heading into the midterms, per Axios. [Tweet]
The left is losing
its war on parents. This week, three members of San Francisco's Board of Education — Gabriela
López, Alison Collins and Faauuga Moliga — suffered overwhelming defeat in a recall election brought by angry
parents who felt they were more concerned with lefty politics than with children's welfare. The parents' case was
strengthened by the fact that they were, well, right. Siva Raj, one of the recall organizers, said, "The city of San
Francisco has risen up and said this is not acceptable, to put our kids last." As COVID raged, the school board paid
more attention to renaming schools — it wanted to rename Abraham Lincoln HS because its namesake didn't show "that
black lives ever mattered" to him — than educating kids. Again and again, the board placed woke politics
before its actual job. (Collins had even accused Asians of using "white supremacist thinking" to get ahead.)
Defeated
San Francisco school board member says voters who ousted her are 'aligned with' White supremacists. San
Francisco Unified School District Board of Education President Gabriela López, who lost a recall election this week,
said Thursday those who supported her recall are "aligned" with White supremacists. López and two fellow board
members — Vice President Faauuga Moliga and Commissioner Alison Collins — were all voted out Tuesday in
a landslide, with more than 72% of voters opting to recall each of them. "So if you fight for racial justice, this is
the consequence," López tweeted along with a photo of a Washington Post headline that said she and the two other
recalled board members were "seen as too focused on racial justice."
Even
in San Francisco, Voters [are] Fed Up With Woke Incompetence. San Francisco residents voted to recall three
members of the city's school board on Tuesday — School Board President Gabriela López, Vice President Faauuga
Moliga, and Commissioner Alison Collins. The recall effort began in January 2021 after the school board voted to rename
44 schools in the area that honored various American historical figures, such as Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.
Leaders of the recall effort criticized the school board's focus on renaming schools while the schools remained shut
down. "The city of San Francisco has risen up and said this is not acceptable to put our kids last," said Siva Raj, a
parent and one of the leaders of the recall effort, according to Fox News. "Talk is not going to educate our children,
it's action. It's not about symbolic action, it's not about changing the name on a school, it is about helping kids
inside the school building read and learn math."
Blue
San Francisco throws out three Board of Education leftists by monster margins. It wasn't even close. San
Francisco Democrats turned hard on three far-left Board of Education members who kept public schools on lockdown, focused on
changing the names of storied old schools, and told Asians to [forget about] merit-based admissions to the few good ones.
[...] As the [San Francisco Chronicle] notes, they were on the ballot because they could be on the ballot — the
rest likely would have been thrown out too, were they eligible. The city will hold new elections in seven months, but
San Francisco voters couldn't wait even that long to let these particular leftists know. The only word for this is
'bloodbath.'
San
Francisco recalls 3 school board members: 'a clear message'. San Francisco residents overwhelmingly approved of
a vote Tuesday [2/15/2022] to recall three of the city's school board members, election officials said. Critics,
including San Francisco Mayor London Breed, argued the members — school board President Gabriela López, Vice
President Faauuga Moliga and Commissioner Alison Collins — pushed progressive politics rather than act in the best
interest of children during the pandemic, and voters agreed, according to the San Francisco Department of Elections.
"The voters of this city have delivered a clear message that the school board must focus on the essentials of delivering a
well-run school system above all else," Breed said in a statement after the vote. "San Francisco is a city that
believes in the value of big ideas, but those ideas must be built on the foundation of a government that does the essentials well."
San
Francisco Voters Overwhelmingly Back Recall of Progressive School-Board Members. San Francisco residents
overwhelmingly voted to oust three of the city's progressive school-board members on Tuesday. It was the culmination of
a year-long effort to reform the board, which has been accused of prioritizing social-justice politics over reopening schools
and managing the district's troubled finances during the Covid-19 pandemic. Returns started coming in around 9 p.m. in
California, showing that more than 70 percent of voters supported recalling each of the three candidates: 79 percent
voted to recall board member Alison Collins, 75 percent voted to recall board president Gabriela López, and 73 percent
voted to recall board member Faauuga Moliga.
Scores
of congregations quit United Methodist Church over gay clergy, same-sex marriage. At least 130 congregations
have quietly walked away from the United Methodist Church in a schism over the denomination's planned acceptance of same-sex
marriage and homosexual clergy. The breakaway congregations are keeping their church property thanks to a "conscience
clause" enacted by the group's legislative assembly in 2019. The United Methodist Church General Conference, the
church's governing body, is expected this year to approve a separation plan that would create two denominations: one
affirming bans on gay clergy and same-sex marriage, and one permitting homosexual clergy and same-sex marriage. That
move has been postponed because of the pandemic and might be delayed again.
Amid
the Canadian Trucker Protests, The Left Has Found the New 'F' Word. The Left cannot manufacture anymore COVID
panic porn. We're all desensitized. We're also sick of it. Most if not all the panic scenarios never came
to fruition. Most if not all the so-called advice was science fiction. So, with no place to go, the Left says the
quiet part out loud regarding their true agenda. They're attacking freedom. It's their new "F" word[.]
Our
Greatest Domestic Threat: Pro-Government Extremists. Though alarming and depressing, we can no longer
avoid recognizing that America's greatest domestic threat is from pro-government extremists. We rue that pro-government
extremists caused immense destruction during their less-than-"peaceful protests" in 2020; and we witness the continuing
damage caused by their neurotic, totalitarian response to a plethora of problems, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Indeed, what makes the pro-government extremists so dangerous is their far greater numbers than their anti-government
extremist counterparts. Their noxious ideology that the citizen is subordinate to the omnipotent state is incessantly
"normalized" and propagandized by their corporate media comrades. Worse, their pro-government extremism is being
indoctrinated throughout American public and private institutions, including K-12 education, higher education, and the military.
Critics
Rip Defense Department Over What It Claims Are 'Necessities' in [the] Military. Critics ripped the Department
of Defense on Wednesday for a woke tweet promoting the need for "diversity" and "inclusion" in the military. The tweet
linked to a news story about remarks Bishop Garrison, the senior advisor to the secretary of defense for human capital and
diversity, equity, and inclusion, made to the Center for a New American Security.
Our Authoritarian
Moment. In The Authoritarian Moment, Ben Shapiro warns of the rise of censorship, voter fraud, fake
news, and other leftist tactics for seizing control. [...] Unfortunately, progressives have had the advantage. They are
fervent, almost religious (or pseudo-religious) in their commitment to change. They comprise a small, cohesive group
similar to the Bolsheviks in revolutionary Russia, and, like those revolutionaries, they believe that the righteousness of
their cause justifies any sort of behavior ("by any means necessary," as they say). And, because they despise Middle
America and its citizenry, they are motivated by the strongest of emotions: hate. Nothing like this can be said of
ordinary Americans, who still believe in fair play and following the law, and that is why so many key institutions have
fallen into the hands of progressives, including government, corporations, education, the federal bureaucracy (including
elements within the FBI and IRS), entertainment and sports, and even the church. As Shapiro has it, ordinary Americans
are not focused on the culture war to begin with, and when they are, they are too polite to object. They lack the
fanaticism and ruthlessness of the left, and so the left has been winning.
Spice
Company That Rejected Republicans Is Taking 'Get Woke, Go Broke' to New Lows. We are more than familiar with
the pitfalls involved with the corporate temptation to Get Woke. In the case of Penzey's Spices, a gastronomic entity
in Wisconsin, it is something else entirely as the head of the company seems remarkably obsessed with politics. So much
so that in an era when companies are struggling in the pandemic marketplace the namesake Bill Penzey is perfectly comfortable
with driving away a core segment of his customer base. Rather than tipping his hand at virtue signaling causes, or
grandstanding on particular issues like Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream does routinely, Penzey's has a distinctly novel stance.
The company says Republicans need not click PURCHASE. It is a daring move in this economy, but daring does not mean it
is lucrative. Nor smart. He is now admitting to a significant loss of business.
The
Truth About Biden's Fake War With Russia. Biden tried to be FDR and failed at that. Now he's settling for
playing a senile elderly JFK. If you watch 5 minutes of CNN or any cable news network, you might believe that we're on
the verge of war with Russia. That's what the same people who claimed that President Trump was working for Putin want
you to believe. Their new war with Russia is as real as Russiagate. Democrats want to fight Russia to the last
Republican. They aren't about to fight a real war. Their fake wars with Russia are an attack on
Republicans. Russiagate came after Democrats spent eight years giving Putin everything he wanted as Hillary toted a
Reset Button from a swimming pool and Psaki posed in a sickle and hammer hat. And that was just what we knew about.
Conservatives
Must Stop Tolerating Commie Nonsense. We need to be intolerant of stupidity, intolerant of delusions, and
intolerant of those who want to change our country into a giant college run by the kind of people you avoided when you walked
across campus. When the first dude approached us and announced that he was now Gladys, our society defaulted to
kindness. Someone who is suffering gender dysphoria does not need to have more pain heaped upon him or her, and we had
no desire as a society to compound that pain. But tolerating this confusion was not enough. The demand became to
celebrate it and to pretend it was real. But it's not real. A man can never menstruate or give birth or ask for
directions. A woman cannot be a father or (generally) carry 120 pounds of weapons and gear or fully appreciate The
Dirty Dozen.
Joe
Biden: 'The Constitution Is Always Evolving Slightly'. President Joe Biden met with Senate Judiciary leaders on
Tuesday, reminding them that the United States Constitution was "always evolving" in his public remarks at the meeting.
"You know there's always a renewed national debate every time we nominate, any president nominates a justice, because the
Constitution is always evolving slightly," Biden said, referring to his upcoming choice of a nominee to replace the retiring
Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court.
Protests
From Out of Nowhere. After months of uninterrupted growth in state power, what we are now witnessing in the
disputes rocking the Australian Open, Spotify, Marvel and the trucking world are spontaneous meeting engagements in the
culture wars. It's like a chain reaction of angry people setting off other angry people. The singular thing about
this development is that it would have been impossible six months ago. A psychological barrier has been breached and a
taboo has fallen. The potential of this to create a cascade is considerable.
Laughing
Psaki mocks Americans' concern over 'soft-on-crime' policies. The nation's largest police union called out
White House press secretary Jen Psaki for 'belittling Americans' concerns' after she said media outlets who run segments on
'soft-on-crime policies' are living in an 'alternate universe.['] 'I think it's wrong — very wrong — for
Ms. Psaki to suggest that violent crime in our country is of no concern or to just laugh it off,' National Fraternal
Order of Police (FOP) President Patrick Yoes said in a statement. Psaki was speaking about a Fox News segment during an
appearance on the Pod Save America podcast last week when she questioned what 'soft-on-crime consequence' even means and
insisted Americans care 'more about what's happening in their lives than what's necessarily happening in every cable news chyron'.
Psaki
Mocks Violent Crime Concerns as 'An Alternative Universe'. During a podcast interview over the weekend, While
House Press Secretary Jen Psaki mocked people concerned about increasing violent crime as being in "an alternative universe."
"'Soft on crime policies.' What does that even mean? There's an alternate universe on some coverage.
What's scary about it is lots of people watch that," Psaki said. [...] "What does that even mean?" It means an expontial [sic]
increase in the murder rate thanks to prosecutors who want violent criminals out on the streets.
Is
this why Psaki laughed off concerns about being soft on crime policies? Jen Psaki quipped that those who are
worried about 'soft-on-crime policies' are living 'in an alternate universe,' but it's little wonder why the White House
press secretary is seemingly unfazed by the nation's crime wave: she lives in one of the safest, most expensive counties in
America. In the tree-lined suburb of Arlington, where many lobbyists, government officials and choose to raise their
children, the average price of a single-family, detached home was $1,258,648 as of December. And in 2020, Arlington
County, Virginia was deemed the safest city in the U.S., according to national data compiled by Money Geek.
As
police were abandoning East Precinct, Seattle officials drafted plan to give station to a Black Lives Matter
group. At the height of Seattle's racial justice protests in 2020, then-Mayor Jenny Durkan's administration
drafted legislation to transfer the Police Department's East Precinct building to a Black Lives Matter activist organization
and researched relocating the station's operations, newly released documents show. That June, as cops lobbed tear gas
from behind barricades, and protesters on the streets surrounding the precinct called for the Police Department to be
defunded, Durkan's office behind the scenes briefly contemplated handing over the multimillion dollar property that had
become the focus of the demonstrations. Calvin Goings, the director of the city's Department of Finance and
Administrative Services (FAS), emailed three memos and a draft resolution to Durkan on the afternoon of June 8,
2020 — at about the same time police were abandoning the East Precinct on Capitol Hill.
Is Democracy
Dying or America Disintegrating? A precondition of democracy is that the results of elections be recognized and
respected, and if repeatedly challenged, this is a mortal threat. And this is the present peril. Yet, there are
other preconditions, not only for democracies but for countries, that were enumerated in The Federalist Papers:
"Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people — a people descended from the
same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very
similar in their manners and customs ... " "This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it
appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united to
each other by the strongest ties, should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties."
John Jay was describing the preconditions of a nation, a country, a people. Do these preconditions still exist in
America? "One united people"? "A band of brethren"? A common ancestry, common religion, common language, common
customs and manners? That may describe the America of 1789. Does it describe the America of 2022?
Salvation
Army Silent on Impact of Race-Based Training on Fundraising. Salvation Army chapters across the country saw a
significant drop in donations in the weeks before Christmas because of fallout over a racially charged training curriculum,
according to a nonprofit group that advocates "colorblind" policies. Chapters in California, Massachusetts, and
Michigan are among Salvation Army locations cited by Color Us United as affected by its campaign against training materials,
called "Let's Talk About Racism," that include tenets of critical race theory and anti-racism teachings. The church's
national headquarters has yet to announce fundraising figures for 2021, but it is evident that financial contributions to The
Salvation Army have been "tanking," Color Us United spokesman Christian Watson told reporters. "It's very clear their
numbers have been hit hard," Watson said of The Salvation Army during a virtual press conference Jan. 19. "You can
either chalk it up to COVID or economic turmoil, or you can do what we claim is the probable cause — and that is
Color Us United's particular efforts against The Salvation Army's woke curriculum."
State
Legislators Are Mounting A Stand Against "Critical Theory's Long March". I know I've been repetitive on the
loss of institutions at virtually every level of society. But maybe it's also worth focusing not only on which
institutions have been lost, but what remains and how much power what remains can have. There is, of course, people
power that exists outside institutions. That people power in 2021-2022 is focused on the parents' movement to reclaim
their children. It's not just about Critical Race Theory, it's about whether children are children of their parents or
of the state and teachers unions. That people power also is manifesting itself in disgust with unscientific,
irrational, harmful, and abusive lockdowns and Covid-related random acts of government abuse. But there is an
institution that remains, and it's starting to engage in a serious way.
Left
Barely Masks Its Contempt for Parents' Involvement in Education. [Scroll down] Parents, however, are
getting better at sifting through the education establishment's lies. That's a good thing, because they're more brazen
than ever. The insistence, for example, by radical leftist teachers unions that students be force-fed toxic critical
race theory nostrums over parents' objections illustrates how much credence liberals give to dissenting voices far more
vividly than phony posts from party hacks. Just one year ago, educational leaders, media elites, and leftist
politicians were assuring parents that critical race theory was a complicated area of study only taught in law schools.
But with students banned from the classroom during the COVID-19 pandemic, parents got to observe firsthand the propaganda
streaming into their living rooms via remote-learning lessons. Immediately, the narrative changed from "There is no
critical race theory in K-12 classrooms" to "If you don't like it, you're a racist."
Department
of Agriculture issues comical food price inflation report and forecast. Inflation is the political dynamite
that explodes political support for an American president. People directly experience their standard of living
declining every time they buy food and fill up their gas tanks. When people have to minimize or eliminate beef and
other preferred foods from their diet, they experience creeping impoverishment and worry what lies ahead. [...] The average
American who can no longer afford hamburgers for the kids, or who finds that those boxes of cornflakes last half as long as
they used to, is not fooled. People detest a decline in their standard of living. It requires frequent
sacrifices. And after experiencing rises in incomes and rising consumption under Trump, they know who to blame.
No report from the USDA is going to change their minds.
If I had ever heard of this company, it would be one more place to boycott:
Company
that Called Republicans Racist Loses Massive Number of Customers. Penzey's Spices, the Milwaukee-based company
that held "Republicans are Racist Weekend" sale on Martin Luther King, Jr. Weekend earlier this month, is now dealing
with a massive loss of customers and is now all but begging for new business. "After starting the year with All
Republicans are Republicans and following up with Republicans are Racists we've set a nice little Boycott Penzeys! surge in
motion," Penzey's CEO Bill Penzey said in an email to customers Friday. [...] Penzey admitted that the "Republicans are
Racists" email cost his business 40,005 subscribers, roughly three percent of the total.
Crying
thyme for spice company after 'Republicans Are Racist' promotion backfires. A Milwaukee spice company is
peppering its remaining customers with requests to buy gift cards after its anti-Republican ad campaign left a bad taste in a
lot of mouths. Penzeys Spices, which sells its goods mostly online and via mail order, saw its sales plunge after it
ran a "Republicans Are Racist" sale on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. On Friday, the company's namesake boss asked for
help boosting the company's finances. [...] Penzey has never shied away from making political statements and for decades has
used his company's catalog as a megaphone. Penzey has taken aim at urban white flight, low teacher pay, the use of
Native American iconography in sports, as well as former President Donald Trump. After the 2016 election, Penzeys sent
an email to customers, including Trump supporters, that declared, "You just voted for an openly racist candidate for the
presidency of the United States of America."
Penzey's
Spice Company Called All Republicans Racist, Then Lost 40,000 Customers in Two Weeks. Just two weeks after a
Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based spice company held a "Republicans are Racist" sale over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, it is
dealing with a massive loss of business and openly begging for new customers. Penzey's Spices CEO Bill Penzey, who
routinely uses his company's email list to send anti-Republican screeds, sent a newsletter earlier this month in which he
accused GOP voters of fantasizing about killing African Americans.
Mazie
Hirono Demonstrates, Once Again, Why Democrats Choosing Justices Is a Bad Idea. Hawaii Democrat Senator Mazie
Hirono can easily be considered one of the more radical and overdramatic leftists currently in office. This is the same
Hirono that decided to vote against the confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett by marching up to the Senate dias with arms
folded and demanded they put her down as a "hell no" vote. This is the same Hirono that became angered with Barrett for
using the term "sexual preference" in relation to the LGBT community but was dismissive of Joe Biden saying it while he was
running for president to the point of directly dismissing it.
DFL
to allow illegal immigrants to participate in caucuses. The Minnesota DFL Party announced Wednesday that
illegal immigrants and felons who haven't completed their sentences will be allowed to participate in precinct
caucuses. Party Chair Ken Martin praised the move as a "historic rule change" that reflects the party's values.
"No Minnesotan should be denied the right to help shape the future of our party because of where they were born or because of
mistakes they made in the past and have paid their debt to society for," he said. "The DFL Party believes strongly in a
pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and in re-enfranchising ex-felons who have paid their debts to society."
In Minnesota, felons can't vote until they finish their full sentence, including probation or parole, nor can non-citizens.
The DFL argued in various lawsuits that these rules shouldn't apply to caucuses because they are a violation of the right to
freedom of association.
The
left-wing dark money behind the push to kill the filibuster. Sixty left-wing groups led by Fix Our Senate
recently issued a letter demanding the Senate abolish the filibuster so "democracy legislation" will pass and the party now
narrowly controlling Congress can rewrite all 50 states' election laws. Two big secrets lie behind this push to kill
the filibuster and, supposedly, protect "voting rights." First, this lobbying campaign is driven not by grassroots groups
of ordinary people but by left-wing megadonors and the AstroTurf groups they fund. The second secret: This scheme
isn't about "protecting Democracy" because overwhelming majorities of our democracy's citizens support the state election
laws that these deep-pocketed special interests want snuffed out. This fight is about the 2022 and 2024 elections,
which liberal activists fear will go badly for them unless all the dubious changes in election laws and practices they
finagled in 2020 are repeated.
Poll
reveals many Democrats wish to repeal natural law, imprison fellow citizens. A poll conducted jointly by the
Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports surveyed 1,016 "likely voters" in the United States on January 5. The poll
revealed...that a large percentage of Democrat voters would have made excellent Germans circa the 1930s and 1940s.
Specifically, it revealed that 59% of likely Democratic voters want the government to enact a policy mandating that
unvaccinated Americans be confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies. (Conversely, 79% of Republicans
and 71% of unaffiliated voters oppose such draconian punitive measures.) Moreover, 45% of Democrats called for the
government to round up citizens who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 and force them into "designated facilities."
(These same people, I'm certain, are — or would be — appalled at FDR rounding up Japanese-Americans and
placing them in "designated facilities" during World War II.) An even higher percentage of voters who have a "very
favorable" opinion of President Biden were in favor of putting unvaccinated Americans into COVID camps.
Support
For Pelosi and Schumer Led Congress Crashes By Half — Among Democrats. Even Democrats are souring on
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer as leaders of Congress. Last spring, Democrats had a 50% approval of the Pelosi and
Schumer led Congress, but now it has dropped to 26%.
Stephen
Colbert Says the US Senate is 'anti-Democratic' and Should Be Dismantled. CBS's The Late Show host Stephen
Colbert played sore loser on Monday's show when he suggested getting rid of the U.S. Senate, calling it an "anti-democratic"
institution following the Democrats' failure to eliminate the filibuster. Stephen Colbert was chatting with guest
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) when he made the bizarre suggestion. "If you can't get rid of the filibuster... then
what if we just get rid of the Senate? And I'm 100 percent serious here. It is the most anti-democratic
institution next to the judiciary," he said. "No one will drop a single tear," he added. "I don't understand what
possible positive purpose the United States Senate provides right now." [Video clip]
It
Doesn't Matter That Voters Hate Joe Biden If Democrats Can Rig Elections. Democrats may fail at policy, but
they've always been reliably competent at the game of politics, zeroing in on votes with great precision. Have you
noticed they haven't been themselves lately, though? Even after taking a shellacking in statewide elections in Virginia
and New Jersey last November, a moment when sane politicians typically learn from defeat, they instead doubled down. In
her usual well-reasoned manner, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., commented after the electoral bloodbath that
Democrats were beaten, not because of the president's agenda, but because they hadn't done enough to "excite, speak to, or
energize a progressive base." Never mind that voters knew what was at stake — and clearly rejected it.
One would have thought that older and more seasoned politicians might have guided the young House member back to reality, but
the ragin' Cajun himself, James Carville, only sparked her outrage in saying that "stupid wokeness" had cost the Democrats.
The
Dems' Total War On Republicans Has Totally Backfired. For the past year, Democrats up and down the leadership
ladder have been on an endless campaign to portray Republicans as delusional out-of-touch anti-science hate-mongering
conspiracy-peddling vote-suppressing anti-vaxxer insurrectionist racists. The result has been a huge shift in party
preference: away from Democrats and toward Republicans. Have voters finally wised up to the left's
cravenness and radicalism? Will this newfound awareness last?
Joey
2022: The Worse the Better. [Scroll down] So, if I was leading a rebel cabal deep within the FBI Special
Task Force on Armed Insurrectionism — because where else would I be? — I would get AOCs elected to
Congress; I would crash the economy with lockdowns and vaccination mandates; I would make sure that Fed Chairman Jerome
Powell kept the money spigots on full bore; I would propose multiple trillion-dollar spending packages artfully described as
stimulus, infrastructure, Build Back Better; I would propose to federalize elections to make ordinary people fear for their
lives; I would nod-nod-wink-wink to George Soros to elect prosecutors that had no time for prosecuting when there were homes
in Florida to be bought; I would totally bungle the retreat from Afghanistan; I would kill the oil-and-gas industry stone
dead and increase gas prices by 50 percent; I would call the inevitable inflation "transitory;" I would set up a January 6
Commission to transform the stupid January 6 rioters into noble victims of injustice. And, of course, I would call
anyone who objected a "systemic racist."
Report:
Black Americans Fleeing Democrat-Controlled New York, California. Many black Americans are leaving New York and
California to seek decent wages and affordable housing in southern states, according to a Washington Post article that
ignores the federal policy of importing foreign people to fill jobs and homes in New York and California. "There is a
noticeable lack of black people in these cities that were once the mecca for black America, for people fleeing the Jim Crow
South," the Post's reporter told an interviewer. The Post reported January 14 on the southern migration, which is now
reversing the historic "Great Migration" of black Americans from the South to northern cities during the 1900s.
Yes,
Virginia, the January 6 'insurrection' exists. But it's not what the left and the mainstream media have
identified. The definition of insurrection includes "actions taken against an established government" for the purposes
of overthrowing the government and it includes violence. By that definition, conservatives, constitutionalists,
independents, and even many traditional liberals — a majority I call Normal Americans ("Normals") —
cannot ever be guilty of that charge. Why? Because we are not trying to overthrow and replace our duly formed
constitutional republic form of government. Period. We are defending that government against an outright attack
by radicals who do want to replace it, and we are pushing back against the unelected bureaucratic and authoritarian
administrative state that the left uses for power and control. Normals have zero desire to collapse America, harm its
economy, or enslave its people through Marxist control. Radicals do. Radicals have been engaged in a
soft insurrection with occasional violence for 100 years. Now, they're feeling Normals rising.
Democrats
Avoid Campaigning on Biden's Floundering Build Back Better Agenda. Democrat Congressional candidates running in
GOP House districts are noticeably avoiding talking about President Joe Biden's floundering Build Back Better agenda, the
Daily Beast observed on Tuesday [1/11/2022]. [...] While Democrats "frequently tout their commitment" to several of
the bill's provisions — like prescription drug costs, child care, and "climate change" — many "don't
explicitly acknowledge" Biden's $2 trillion in "social spending."
Democrats
Support Punishing the Unvaccinated. [Scroll down] 78%, of Democrats support COVID vaccine mandates,
which would force people out of their jobs if they choose not to receive a vaccination. Three-quarters have a favorable
opinion of Dr. Fauci. A majority of Republicans and unaffiliated voters oppose the mandate and have a dim view of
President Biden's chief medical advisor. In addition, a majority of Democrats support harsher measures for those who
decide not to receive a vaccine that can't prevent transmission or illness: [...] If you want to know how far some of these
biosecurity state cheerleaders will go, 29% would agree to take your children if you refuse to get the Fauci ouchie.
Oddly, only 54% of black Americans are fully vaccinated, but 63% support Biden's vaccine mandate in the poll. The
survey notes that President Biden's strongest supporters are most likely to endorse his COVID policies and the harshest
punishments for the unvaccinated.
America's U-Haul Revolution.
Not everyone in Blue State America is moving to a far healthier Red State. It only seems that way. But enough are
doing so to say, without a doubt, it is one of the most significant trends in America today. A revolution of
sorts. It's long been known in demography and population economics that people leave areas known for authoritarian
tyranny, stagnation, stultification, crime and excessive regulation in order to find the opposite somewhere else: economic
freedom, dynamism, social diversity and good government. It's a big reason why literally hundreds of millions of people
around the world have expressed their desire to emigrate to the U.S. But it's also true within countries, too.
Amid a backdrop of slow overall population growth, a problem in itself, comes the mass exodus of more than a million
Americans moving largely from Blue States to Red States, expressing dissatisfaction with high taxes, rampant crime,
lockdowns, vaccine mandates, excessive state government regulations, a politically stifling "woke" culture, and lack of
economic opportunity and freedom.
LA
Times: It's necessary to mock the deaths of the unvaccinated. In Orange County, California, Deputy
District Attorney Kelly Ernby recently passed away due to complications from COVID. Ernby had been a vocal critic of
government vaccination mandates and was herself unvaccinated according to her family and friends. This led to the
predictable, ghoulish end-zone dancing on social media that we regularly hear from supporters of mandates and immunity
passports. While most people in the media are compassionate enough (or at least politically sensible enough) to condemn
such callous behavior, the Los Angeles times managed to find someone to take the opposite position.
The
Left did us a great favor. [Scroll down] Actually, it's not Joe Biden, it's the ranks of the Karl Marx
Book Club elites and grandchildren of the Yippies now occupying the White House, along with Obama, Rice, Pelosi, et al.
They have taken us to a place, and swiftly, that we never imagined before. They are center stage revealing on an almost
daily basis how truly wacky is the road to socialism with its accompanying demands for the masses to adhere to their
demands. They, after all, know better than we. They know we will be better served with higher fuel and food
prices, trillions more in national debt, prosecutors who no longer prosecute, millions of illegals crossing the southern
border, depleted law enforcement ranks, solar and wind energy, fear of COVID, fear of global warming (climate change),
placement of teacher unions in charge of public education and... well, the list goes on.
Who Are the Real Insurrectionists?
Recently, Democrats have been despondent over Joe Biden's sinking polls. His policies on the economy, energy, foreign policy, the border, and
COVID-19 all have lost majority support. As a result, the Left now variously alleges that either in 2022, when they expect to lose the Congress,
or in 2024, when they fear losing the presidency, Republicans will "destroy democracy" or stage a coup. A cynic might suggest that they praise
democracy when they get elected — only to claim it is broken when they lose. Or they hope to avoid their defeat by trying to terrify the
electorate. Or they mask their own revolutionary propensities by projecting them onto their opponents. After all, who is trying to
federalize election laws in national elections contrary to the spirit of the Constitution? Who wishes to repeal or circumvent the Electoral
College? Who wishes to destroy the more than 180-year-old Senate filibuster, the over 150-year-old nine-justice Supreme Court, and the more
than 60-year-old, 50-state union? Who is attacking the founding constitutional idea of two senators per state?
Biden
beefs up efforts against Big Meat. With inflation raising red flags for consumers across the country, the Biden
administration is continuing its war on big meat processors that it claims are reaping record profits at the expense of
consumers and smaller competitors. The White House has released what it calls an action plan for "a fairer, more
competitive, and more resilient meat and poultry supply chain" complete with a wide range of initiatives. "In too many
industries, a handful of giant companies dominate the market," President Joe Biden said in a Monday meeting to discuss the issue.
There Is No Radical Right,
and There Is No Mainstream Left, Either. [Scroll down] Yet oddly, leftists claim the people's mandate in
all their ends. They claim it in their quest to overthrow the independent Supreme Court. To do that, they seek to
abolish the over 215 year-old requirement in the Senate that most matters pass with supermajority support in order to carry
out their plan to pack the Court with leftist judges. After using the supermajority threshold to their own advantage
327 times just last Congress, including at least nine times to block major bills, now leftists want a change.
Why? Because too many Supreme Court Justices espouse what they say is an extremist judicial philosophy. What is
this philosophy? That the Supreme Court should abide by the Constitution instead of making it up to enact laws too
unpopular for the democratically elected Congress to pass. It's the Constitution itself leftists seek to
overthrow. And our democracy along with it. That's insurrection.
Six
Basic Concepts Liberals Don't Get. [#6] Reality is not fungible. Liberals don't understand that we
cannot exchange our reality for another one. Understanding that truth comes from a recognition that we do not control
the laws of nature or economics. Reality is not fungible. The laws of nature cannot be changed because they are
inconvenient. Truth is fixed, and facts are hard. People do not have their own reality. If they perceive
the world other than as it is, they are not enlightened; they are deranged — or liberal, or both.
Conservatism tends to accompany the acquisition of wisdom. Conservatives want the same outcomes as liberals but
understand that simplistic solutions don't fix problems; they perpetuate them. Choosing to accept reality and live
according to the laws of nature leads to a prosperous and happy life. Choosing to fight reality leads to a life of
frustration and disappointment. Perhaps that explains why liberals live in a perpetual state of unhappiness.
The
Left's 'Ron DeSantis Is Missing' Conspiracy Just Blew Back on Them. Democrats and liberal media have been
trying to claim that DeSantis has gone missing. Now, he's only missing in their minds. But it's quite something
to watch such desperate mania unfold like this. They created a fantasy, completely out of whole cloth. Not only
did they claim he was missing; they even claimed that it was probably because he had COVID, based on no evidence at all.
[...] In addition to the work and being with his family on Christmas, DeSantis also was doing something else this week that
they don't care about either. He was taking his wife to cancer treatment. Yes, they're attacking a family who is
having to deal with a serious medical illness.
Nobody likes Joe.
Inflation, violent crime, job competition from illegals, and the monstrous Afghanistan pullout are taking their toll on old
Joe's president[i]al approval ratings. [...] Joe threw blacks, women, independents, Latinos, suburbanites, and others over
the side in his bid to please the AOC crowd. Gas prices through the roof. Bye-bye energy independence.
Federal drilling halted in the name of 'going green.' A major pipeline shut down at the flick of Joe's pen. No
parental input in education. Critical race theory drummed into the heads of the young. Schools closed. What
teachers' unions want, teachers' union get. Coddle and pay illegals with bottomless funding while border towns pay
extra for the surge, crime, and spreading of COVID. Throw the poor out of their jobs with vax mandates.
Reintroduce inflation, brought on by Federal Reserve money-printing to pay for Joe's big government spending. Whip up
whitey-as-bad-guy rhetoric, defund the police, ignore violent crime even as turns every blue city into another Caracas.
Voters
may dislike inflation, but Democrats don't. 20% of all dollars were created in 2020, and Democrats want to
spend trillions more. A recent poll found that one-third of Americans see inflation and household bills as their top
concern, ahead of COVID. Yet Democrats push for more spending and dismiss the issue of inflation as a Republican talking
point. It doesn't seem as if this strategy will pay off, but perhaps the government has so little incentive to control
inflation that even a poll like that doesn't faze politicians. When inflation rises, the government may collect more
tax revenue, and Americans who derive their income from the government get a raise and are thus protected from the worst of
inflation. It's a win-win situation — as long as you're lucky enough to be in the government or paid by
it. Inflation isn't all bad really; it just depends on who you are.
Omicron
upends the class politics of Covid. Until Omicron came along, the official response to Covid served as an
instrument of class warfare against blue collar workers and small businesses, on behalf of the tech oligopolists and selected
big businesses such as Target, which were deemed "essential." Not coincidentally, blue collar workers and small businesses
are the core of the GOP base, while Silicon Valley and the plutocracy are the cash cows and power base of the
Democrats. But the Omicron Variant has — at least for now — turned that class dynamic on its
head. [...] The psychological identity of the Democrats' ruling class, the educated professionals, rests on their presumed
intellectual and moral superiority over the basket of deplorables. Bette Midler spoke for almost the entire Democrat
elite when she slammed the West Virginia constituents of Joe Manchin as toothless illiterates. They cannot be good
unless their opponents (including most readers of the site) are bad. And that badness includes vaccine hesitancy and
Covid vulnerability.
Jim
Jordan Says Brandon Has "Done Everything Wrong". Jim Jordan, appearing on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures"
program, had some harsh words for the Brandon Administration, which he said has "done everything wrong.["] Beginning
his remarks, he warned that "Elizabeth Warren seems to be hinting at price controls." And what does that mean for the
average American? As he put it, "And we know what that will do. That will only exacerbate the problems we see out
there." That is, of course, the opposite of what the average American wants. As Jordan put it, "So, in simple
words, I think the American people would like — they'd like safe streets, they'd like affordable gas, and they'd
like freedom." But, again, that's not what we're getting from Team Brandon. "Instead," Jordan said, "what Biden's
giving them is record crime, record inflation and Dr. Fauci."
Sorry
Santa, you're too white, straight and male. Santa Claus is too white, too straight and too male for most young
people in the UK today, according to a poll. The modern depiction of Father Christmas as an old white man with a big
bushy beard who wears a red and white suit was made globally famous by Coca Cola's adverts of the 1930s.
The Editor says...
The rest of the article is not "family friendly" enough to be quoted here. Here's a synopsis: Perverts are
in favor of spreading perversion. Feminists spread feminism wherever they can. Communists are in favor
of destroying all traditions. One might easily wonder if the "poll" cited in the article above was really just
an incitement, to get all the left-wing fruitcakes to offer up their favorite suggestions.
Escape
from Democratic governance. Manhattan may not be the country's premier maximum-security prison, but New Yorkers
sure are fleeing the state like their lives depended on it. According to Census Bureau data released this week, no
state lost a greater percentage of its population to domestic migration, or 1.5%, than the Empire State. In all, 20
states lost population to other states in the 12-month period between July 2020 and July 2021, most of them controlled by
Democrats. The three biggest net losers, California (minus 367,299), New York (minus 352,185), and Illinois (minus
122,460) are all completely controlled by the Democratic Party.
White
Men Are No Longer the Democrats' Most Pressing Electoral Concern. Democrats face a mountain of issues.
They have an inflation crisis that voters seem primed to nail them to the wall over. The supply chain crisis is still
ongoing. The economy is not well despite the endless propaganda peddled by the Biden administration. Russia and
China are flexing their muscles. The southern border is a mess. COVID is still not shut down. And Build
Back Better just got killed by Joe Manchin. Now, moderate Democrats who cast their lot with the progressive wing and
voted for the left-wing action items are saddled with this legislative fumble. Meanwhile, Joe Biden's approval ratings
are sinking faster than the Andrea Doria.
The
White House's Vaccine Threats Aren't To Keep You Safe. They're To Keep You In Line. By now, you've likely
seen or heard the latest coronavirus messaging from the White House, which President Joe Biden is scheduled to talk about
again later on Tuesday. The president gave the first doomsday message for the unvaxxed, COVID response chief Jeff
Zients repeated it, and chief of staff Ron Klain doubled down on it, so the comments were no slip of the tongue. This
is the administration's official line. "We are intent on not letting omicron disrupt work and school for the
vaccinated. You've done the right thing, and we will get through this. For the unvaccinated, you're looking at a
winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm," Zients said, one
day after Biden made nearly identical comments. This messaging is problematic for a multitude of reasons, not the least
of which is its remarkable ability to further harden 50 percent of the country against the so-called "unity" president, who
has shaped up to be leagues more divisive than his predecessor. But buried under the latest "dark winter" threat is an
admission from the Biden White House that its detractors have been right about its aims all along. The contrast between
the in-group and the out-group isn't that one is rid of the virus while the other isn't. The difference is that one has
"done the right thing."
Chuck
Schumer's Tough-Guy Act Could Backfire Spectacularly in 2022 and Beyond. On Dec. 17, Rasmussen Reports noted
that 77% of likely voters were following the news about the BBB Act at least somewhat closely. Only 38% support the
legislation, while 45% are opposed. Among Democrats, support declined to 62%, and a mere 34% of independents want the
spending bill passed. As the debate drags on, fewer voters seem likely to support President Biden's signature
legislation. In combination with other factors, it also seems to be pulling down the president's approval rating.
According to Rasmussen, as of Dec. 20, 41% of likely voters approve of President Biden's job performance while 57% disapprove.
Self-imposed term limits are the best kind.
Two
More House Dems Make Mad Dash for the Exits as Joe Biden's BBB Agenda Implodes. With voter concerns sitting
squarely on uncertainties about the U.S. economy on issues like worsening inflation, the ongoing supply chain crisis, and the
gloomy jobs outlook, a number of House Democrats have apparently concluded it's best to get out while they can. As of
last week, the number was at 20 with the announcement that five-term Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-Calif.) would be retiring at
the end of his term. But today, barely 24 hours after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) dashed Joe Biden's hopes and
dreams on the BBB bill, two more House Dems said in so many words that they're headed for the exits, too.
Spielberg's
Politically Correct "West Side Story" Flops With Audiences. Call it Woke Side Story. Because there's
woke, really woke, über woke, and then there's this: not including subtitles for a movie's Spanish dialogue because
you don't want to give "English the power over the Spanish." That's exactly what director Steven Spielberg did, and why,
in his recently released West Side Story, a "remake" of the iconic 1961 film of the same name. Spielberg says,
however, that it's not a remake but a "reimagining." But no matter one's imagination, it's hard to conceive of the
flick's debut this past weekend as anything but a flop — and expensive one, too.
Spielberg's
'Woke Side Story' Dives 68% at Box Office in Week Two. All hope for Steven Spielberg's racially divisive
West Side Story remake died in week two, plummeting 68 percent with a humiliating take of just $3.4 million.
After ten days in release, which includes two weekends, this historic box office bomb has grossed just $17.9 million. [...]
Between production and marketing, this stinker probably cost close to $200 million. As a result, Disney's going to lose
a fortune.
Why
Is the Left Worried Suddenly About the End of Democracy? What is behind recent pessimistic appraisals of
democracy's future, from Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, Brian Williams and other elite intellectuals, media personalities, and
politicians on the Left? Some are warning about its possible erosion in 2024. Others predict the democracy downturn as
early 2022, with scary scenarios of "autocracy" and Trump "coups." To answer that question, understand first what is
not behind these shrill forecasts. They are not worried about 2 million foreign nationals crashing the border in
a single year, without vaccinations during a pandemic. Yet it seems insurrectionary for a government simply to nullify
its own immigration laws. They are not worried that some 800,000 foreign nationals, some residing illegally, will now
vote in New York City elections. They are not worried that there are formal efforts to dismantle the U.S. Constitution
by junking the 233-year-old Electoral College or the preeminence of the states in establishing ballot laws in national
elections. They are not worried that we are witnessing an unprecedented left-wing effort to scrap the 180-year-old
filibuster, the 150-year-old nine-person Supreme Court, and the 60-year tradition of 50 states, for naked political advantage.
Democrat
Senator Ron Wyden Blocks Bill Banning Products Made From Slave Labor In Communist China. Democrat Senator Ron
Wyden (OR) blocked a bipartisan effort on Wednesday to advance a bill that would ban imports from communist China's Xinjiang
region — where China is committing a genocide against religious minorities — that were made using slave
labor. "Wyden blocked a bill that would ban goods made with forced labor in China's Xinjiang region after Senator Marco
Rubio [R-FL] rejected his request to add an unrelated extension of the child tax credit," Bloomberg News reported. "The
bill has broad bipartisan support and was on track for quick final passage by unanimous consent after having cleared the
House by a voice vote." Nike, which has lobbied Congress to weaken the bill, is the top financial contributor to Wyden.
Democrat
Senator Under Fire After Speaking at Communist Group's Gala. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) spoke
during a recent gala held by a communist group, hailing the event as a "remarkable occasion." Blumenthal was present when
the Connecticut People's World Committee, a branch of Communist Party USA, held an awards ceremony earlier this month.
He was introduced as a "special surprise guest." "I am really excited and honored to be with you today and to share
this remarkable occasion," Blumenthal said. "You don't have to agree with anyone or everyone, with any party or any
particular union or organization. I'm here to honor the great tradition of activism and standing up for individual
workers that is represented by the three honorees here," he added. Blumenthal spoke for about six minutes. "If
you are not already part of the Communist Party, we invite you to participate and contribute and join," Lisa Bergmann, one of
the event's hosts, said after the speech.
Update:
Connecticut
senator regrets attending communist awards show, believed it was 'labor event'. Sen. Richard Blumenthal
(D-Conn.) says he regrets his participating in an awards event hosted earlier this month by the Communist Party of
America. On Dec. 11, Blumenthal attended an awards ceremony hosted by Communist Party USA affiliate the Connecticut
People's World Committee. The lawmaker gave out three certificates from the Senate to winners of the "Amistad Award,"
honoring labor and social justice activism. Blumenthal used the opportunity to promote the now-seemingly dead Build
Back Better Act, as well as the Democratic party's efforts to pass elections legislation. In an interview with the
Hartford Courant, the senator said he believed he was attending "strictly a labor event." "If I had known the
details, I wouldn't have gone," he said. Blumenthal was in attendance as event organizers actively encouraged viewers
to join the Communist Party.
The Editor says...
Sen. Blumenthal insults us all by claiming he didn't know he was cavorting with communists. He was making a speech
but didn't know who he was talking to. If that's true, he really is a useful idiot. But of course it isn't true.
Companies
Need to Learn From the Salvation Army Suffering From Their Wokeness. [Scroll down] One recent example of
this signaling foolishness cropped up last month, involving the Salvation Army. It was revealed that the church/charitable
organization had produced an internal guide about racism, focused entirely on white privilege and what must be done to correct many
ills as a result of systemic racism. As I covered a few weeks ago, the claims by the group's PR division that they were not
targeting whites — and they had not called for apologies for being racist — were completely false, based on
the contents of the very guidebook they had produced. Well, this is the time for corporations to take notice. It's clear
that pandering to the activists by telling the bulk of your donors that they are racist, as you ask them for continued support, is
not paying off. In just a few short weeks, we are seeing the direct impact this adherence to a woke agenda has had on the
Salvation Army, as across the nation they are reporting that donations are not just lower but significantly down. It is sad
and amazing to witness, as a completely unneeded social activist agenda has led to severely depleted levels of support.
The
Salvation Army pays a big price for its foray into wokedom. In November, the Salvation Army officially went
woke, declaring that, after soul searching, it was calling upon all White people associated with or donating to the Salvation
Army to admit their racism and repent. After an angry response from the public, the Salvation Army itself repented...of
its wokeness and it walked back its message. It was too late, though. Local Salvation Army chapters are seeing
50% drops in both volunteers and donations. Get Woke; Go Broke.
They're not getting another nickel from me.
Salvation
Army Faces Holiday Shortages After Telling White Donors to Face Their Racism. The Salvation Army asked for more
than donations this year. The Christian charitable organization asked all white donors to reflect on their racism this
year. Wow. After a major uproar the Salvation Army backtracked over Thanksgiving weekend and released a statement
refuting the claims of their racial demands. The Salvation Army then removed its absurd "Let's Talk About Racism" guide
following the intense backlash over a text last week that told white donors to "sincerely apologize" for their racism while
hinting that Christianity is institutionally racist.
Sen.
Richard Blumenthal 'excited and proud' to help Communist Party USA celebrate its 102nd anniversary. The
alliance of mainstream Democrats with communism is becoming obvious. I am so old that I can remember when embracing the
Communist Party was a political death sentence. [...] Senator Blumenthal's second term in the U.S. Senate ends in 2023,
meaning he must stand for re-election next year in a year expected to be very difficult for Democrats. Of course,
Connecticut is so Democrat-friendly that he received 63% of the vote when he ran for re-election in 2016, so maybe he has
nothing to fear. He'll be 76 years old next year and is estimated to be worth well over $100 million thanks to his
father's Wall Street career as a commodities trader. (I wonder how the CPUSA regards the legitimacy of such wealth!
It's a good thing he didn't live in Cambodia under communist Pol Pot.)
The Turn.
You may be among the increasing numbers of people going through The Turn right now. Having lived through the turmoil of
the last half decade — through the years of MAGA and antifa and rampant identity politics and, most dramatically,
the global turmoil caused by COVID-19 — more and more of us feel absolutely and irreparably politically
homeless. Instinctively, we looked to the Democratic Party, the only home we and our parents and their parents before
them had ever known or seriously considered. But what we saw there — and in the newspapers we used to read,
and in the schools whose admission letters once made us so proud — was terrifying. However we tried to
explain what was happening on "the left," it was hard to convince ourselves that it was right, or that it was something we
still truly believed in. That is what The Turn is about.
Swing-District
Iowa Dem 'Very Active' in Group That Wants to Abolish ICE, Establish Sanctuary Cities. A swing-district Iowa
Democrat is "very active" in a group that works to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), end the
deportation of illegal immigrants, and establish "sanctuary" cities throughout the state. State legislator Christina
Bohannan, who is running to unseat Republican congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks, praised the Center for Worker Justice
of Eastern Iowa (CWJ) during a 2020 candidate forum, saying she is "very active" in the liberal immigration group. Just
months before the forum, CWJ called to abolish ICE, the federal entity responsible for immigration enforcement and terrorism
prevention. The group has also worked to stop illegal immigrant deportations and "keep ICE out of Iowa" by fighting against
a 2018 bill that revoked state funding from "sanctuary" cities that intentionally fail to enforce federal immigration law.
San
Francisco restaurant that ordered cops out is poster child for the local wokester idiocy. [Scroll down]
They actually turned cops, who would have been paying customers, away. Restaurants the world over are famous for
welcoming cops to their establishments. Some give free food or discounts. This is how the cop-and-donut legends
got started. Others do it to ensure that cops will always come if there's a problem. Customers find the presence
of police comforting historically, the same way anyone would if there was a wildfire in the area and the fire truck decided
to park in one's driveway, as happened to my sister during the big Bonsall "Lilac" fire a couple of years ago. When she
saw the gargantuan CalFire truck parked at her residence on the nightly news, even with the sky red and the front-yard palm
tree on fire, she knew it was going to be OK, and it was. It's natural. But not to these guys.
The
Counterrevolution and the Republican Party. For nearly a year the Biden "presidency" — whoever they
are — has subjected the United States to a destructive revolutionary agenda of unprecedented scope and virulence,
all of it arising out of an irrational civilizational death wish for which there is no historical parallel. No more
than a small minority of Americans knowingly voted for this. Given safety from reprisal, large majorities of the
electorate would reject both the underlying unhinged beliefs and the ruinous policies and goals that have been promoted since
Biden and his opaque gang took office.
Willie
Horton and the Democratic Party's Greatest Fear. Republicans call for high bail levels for proven violent
repeat offenders and bail-jumpers; Democrats call for an end to bail, and for the virtual elimination of holding even
dangerous prisoners until trial. Republicans call for stiff and certain sentences for convicted violent criminals;
today's Democrats call for never-ending second chances, and even for the elimination of prisons themselves, as in the
meantime, impatient Democrat governors and judges routinely throw open the prison gates on the slightest whim. [...]
Republicans warn against the cultural decline that has children more likely to be raised in a single-parent household than in
a nuclear family unit; Democrats go so far as to champion single motherhood as an objective good, campaigning for ever more
welfare programs to encourage such generational dependence. Is it any wonder that our nation is suffering a massive
crime wave? Is it any wonder that overwhelmed and unsupported police are resigning and retiring in disgust and despair?
Americans
don't care for corporate activism. A new warning to woke CEOs: Americans don't want corporations meddling
in divisive political issues, and they perceive such activism as phony pandering. There's also a huge gap between what
consumers believe about woke activism compared with out-of-touch executives, according to a study conducted by the Brunswick
Group, a management firm. Amazon yanks a documentary about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. EBay scraps
Dr. Seuss books. Disney fires actress Gina Carano. Do consumers agree with these moves? Brunswick
found 63 percent of corporate executives "agree unequivocally that companies should speak out on social issues," but a mere
36 percent of voters agree. Corporate brass also has "a highly inflated sense of how effective corporate communication
has been on social issues compared to voters."
The Twin Pillars
of Biden's Failure. Everything has gone so terribly wrong for the Biden Administration, and in the ways that
were widely predicted, that it is hard to believe Joe Biden could be perceived as a successful or at least potentially
successful president if only he had avoided being such a tool of the Democratic extreme Left. On the afternoon of his
inauguration, he killed the Keystone XL Pipeline and curtailed fracking and offshore oil and gas exploration, and ordered the
end of construction of the southern border wall. The consequences have been over 200,000 illegal migrants entering the
United States across the southern border most months and the rise in the price of gasoline from approximately $2 a gallon to
$5 a gallon across the country.
It's Jefferson's
Fault. The removal of a statue of Thomas Jefferson from New York City Hall on November 22nd raises troubling
questions. That the statue had been there unmolested since 1833 reconfirms that ours is a harsh era of savage
reassessments without the tempering influence of context. Whose fault is it that Thomas Jefferson's statue is, for many
Americans, no longer acceptable for public display? Rejection of American heroes of the past is an essential element of
Democrat revolutionary ideology. One can only observe in astonishment as slaveholding Founding Fathers like Jefferson
are strongly rejected on "moral grounds" by the very same Democrats who shout their approval of and support for abortion.
[...] The Democrat party was founded by Thomas Jefferson in the late 18th century as the Democratic-Republican party as a
foil to the Federalists. Fundamentally, this new party was meant to ensure the rights of the states versus the federal
government.
BLM is
all about that holiday cheer, aren't they? Normal people: Despite the messiness of human nature and
history, we have been blessed with a nation of abundance, learning, and freedom beyond measure, where people of all
backgrounds can sit at the table as friends and neighbors. BLM: YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL LITERALLY HITLER.
DIE! DIE! [...] All BLM knows how to do is divide. They won't acknowledge real history. They want to get
neighbors to hate each other so they can conquer the supposedly "stolen" land.
How
to explain our garbage economy to your Biden-supporting aunt. Wasn't President Joe Biden supposed to return us
all to normalcy? Just how did three free and wildly effective vaccines, multiple therapeutics, and Donald Trump banned
from Twitter not only fail to fix the economy but actually make it worse? This is an actual conversation you may have with
well-meaning family over your Thanksgiving table, and it may confound not just deluded Democrats but ordinary folks who simply
skim the headlines and remain baffled at their gas bills doubling and their favorite foods missing from the grocery aisles.
The
Bleak Misery of a Leftist Thanksgiving. For a leftist Thanksgiving must be the pits. To be
thankful...is there anything more antithetical to the left's worldview? Imaginary injustice lurks behind every
corner. Unconscious prejudice taints every good deed. Every wholesome tradition props up the "supremacy" of some
unworthy culture. No, no, who could be thankful for all that? Dividing people for sport and insisting they feel
miserable in their lives are the fuels that propel leftist power. Something must always be wrong, and someone,
somewhere, must always be blamed. When life is seen as nothing more than a series of battles on the bloody path
to "progressive" Utopia, every day must end in failure — and what kind of human being could possibly be
thankful for that?
The New Blue Confederacy.
Why are progressive regions of the country — especially in the old major liberal cities (e.g., Chicago, Los
Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle) — institutionalizing de facto racial quotas
through "proportional representation" based on "disparate impact"? Why are they promoting ethnic and racial chauvinism, such
as allowing college students to select the race of their own roommates, calibrating graduation ceremonies by skin color and
tribe, segregating campus "safe spaces" by race, and banning literature that does not meet commissariat diktats? Why
are they turning into one-party political fiefdoms separating the rich and poor, increasingly resembling feudal societies as
members of the middle class flee or disappear? What does it mean that they are becoming more and more intolerant in
their cancel culture, and quasi-religious intolerance of dissent, on issues from climate change and abortion-on-demand to
critical race theory and wokeness?
Utterly
Delusional: Pentagon Spokesman Says Climate Change Is Just As Much A Threat As China. Given its massive
military buildup, penetrations of Taiwanese air space with squadron upon squadron of top of the line fighter jets, continued
industrial and military espionage, and island-building in the South China Sea, not to mention that it just built a range on
which it can practice targeting US ships, you might think Red China poses the greatest threat to America and her interests
abroad[.] Not so, according to Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby (the same guy that was reticent to admit that dozens of
families of American soldiers were stuck in Afghanistan). According to that delusional Pentagon apparatchik, "climate
change" is just as much a threat as Red China.
More
on how the public feels about those massive payments to illegal aliens. The other day, Ed Morrissey looked at a
recent Trafalgar poll sampling the nation's feelings about massive reparations payments for families who were separated at
the southern border. That would be the result of a pending lawsuit that the State Department is reportedly considering
a settlement on. It's a payment plan that Joe Biden initially called "garbage," before deciding that he was actually
perfectly fine with it after all. But were Trafalgar's numbers an outlier? After all, the national opposition to
the payments reflected in that poll was pretty much off the charts, showing nearly 67% disapproval, with well over half
"strongly" disapproving.

These
People are Not Stable. Oregon Governor Kate Brown recently dropped all reading, writing and math proficiency
standards for high school graduation, because she claimed it was unfair to "people of color" for them to have to pass tests
in order to graduate. Expecting black, brown and latino students to comprehend math and write in coherent sentences is
racist — or so goes the policy. Governor Brown also mandated that masks continue be worn indoors and outside
regardless of vaccine status. Historically, there has been a solid argument that leftism is a mental disorder; at least
the vast majority of those who espouse leftist worldviews do indeed appear to have some cognitive impairment the vast
majority of non-leftist people do not relate to. Slowly, as the years have progressed, it is now entirely possible to
look at a person and predict their political persuasion. This is Oregon Governor Kate Brown today: [Photo]
The
Ten Stages of Genocide Are Hitting a Little Too Close to Home. [Stage 1] Classification: Governments
begin dividing people into "us" versus "them." Hillary Clinton calls Trump-voters "deplorables." Barack Obama
disparages freedom-minded Americans as racists and rubes who "cling to guns or religion." Joe Biden says America is plagued
by "white supremacy." Joint Chiefs chairman Mark Milley believes that the military must tackle "white rage." Attorney
General Garland thinks parents who object to government schools indoctrinating their children with racial Marxism and
hyper-sexualized curricula are "domestic terrorists." Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters and looters are lauded as civil
rights heroes, while Trump-voters who protest for election integrity are denounced as "insurrectionists," hunted down by the
regime enforcers at the FBI, and left rotting behind bars with little in the way of due process. Those who object to
governments' totalitarian plans to spend hundreds of trillions of dollars and take control over free markets in order to
combat the weather are ridiculed as "climate deniers." Those who believe governments' authoritarian reactions to the China
Virus have been more harmful to humanity's well-being than the virus, itself, are demonized as "selfish," "ignorant," and
"anti-science" villains. And now, even after denying that they would ever institutionalize "vaccine passports" as
requirements for travel outside the home, governments are, in fact, remaking their nations into "papers, please" police states.
Six
Takeaways From November's Remarkable Election Results. [Scroll down] The Democratic Party doesn't know
who they are. For a year and a half they preached "Defund the Police," but when that notion became problematic they
tried to disown it as quickly as possible. Their progressive wing thinks they have overwhelming mandates, meanwhile
Democrat moderates know full well that their Congressional majorities are hanging by a thread. Democrats deny Critical
Race Theory is being taught in our schools, then brag about it being taught in our schools, sometimes doing it during the
same discussion. The only two things Democrats appear to be certain about are as follows: 1) They know they
want to be the party of identity politics and divide us as much as possible, and 2) They want to spend exorbitant amounts of
our tax dollars in exploiting those divisions. Neither approach is a good idea, and last Tuesday's results proved it.
Jennifer
Rubin, of the WaPo and MSNBC, calls on media to stop treating Republicans as 'normal'. In a very crowded field,
Jennifer Rubin stands out as possibly the most extreme case of Trump Derangement Syndrome among the former conservatives
driven mad (in my opinion) by Donald Trump's presidency. Her hatred of Trump and the party that now is dominated by him
and his supporters is so extreme that she wants the media to stop treating it as a legitimate representative of the roughly
half the populace that votes for it. Yesterday [11/13/2021] on MSNBC, she called for new "rules" that would require the
media to essentially treat Republicans as pariahs. [Video clip]
Nikole
Hannah-Jones Displays More Historical Illiteracy With Absurd Tweet About Hiroshima Bombing. New York Magazine
writer and founder of the "1619 Project" Nikole Hannah-Jones took to Twitter this week to offer her historically illiterate
take on why the United States bombed Hiroshima during World War II. In a now-deleted Nov. 6 tweet, Jones attempted to
argue that the only reason the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city was due to financial reasons.
"They dropped the bomb when they knew surrender was coming because they'd spent all this money developing it and to prove it
was worth it," she wrote. "Propaganda is not history my friend." Jones has since tried to backtrack on the
statement, saying that "apparently we are at a time in my career where a tweet response with 100 likes is worthy of all kinds
of explication and condemnations five days after I wrote it, even after I've deleted it. But sure, ok."
The Editor says...
She's right about one thing: Propaganda is not history.
A Deeper Divide. If you
think America was split back in 1861 over states' rights, you should see it now. Every minority group is yelling wolf
and that they won't take it anymore, the only one with their jaws shut tight as if by wire, the WASPs. Never has
America been more ferociously divided, with every movie and TV series showing white men as bloodthirsty criminals, lefty
pundits on TV presenting a nation ruled by white supremacists. Much of the media went slightly hysterical after a
so-called conservative won the governorship in Virginia. All the poor winner did was go against the indoctrination of
children in the fine arts of racial hatred, homosexual pornography, and gender neutrality. Virginia parents rejected
critical race theory, which tells black children that white children are inherently evil. Listening to some of the
pundits decrying the Virginia election of a moderate, a visitor from Mars would think a Hitler-Stalin heir had just carried
the state. What actually won Virginia for the Republicans was the simple argument of whether parents have rights over
what their children are being taught or not.
Americans
Want This President Out. No one should be puzzled by the poll's results. Americans are weary of Biden's
inflation, his border crisis and unforced foreign policy errors, a supply chain and a COVID promise that have both been
broken, his failed energy policies, his undermining of policing and law and order across the country, his divisiveness and
hard-left swerve, his "woke" military, a shaky economy, and his vaccine mandate, to name but a handful of his more notable
failures. Count us as being among those who wish to see Biden leave the White House as soon as possible. But his
replacement would be no better. There's a reason Vice President Kamala Harris has an approval rating of 28, 10 points
lower than the approval rating of her boss, the man Americans want to be rid of.
Treasury
Department Nominee Says Biden Administration Purposefully Wants to Bankrupt Oil, Coal and Gas Companies.
Against catastrophic outcomes, we have been pointing out how the people within the Biden administration are not incompetent;
they know exactly what they are doing, and they are destroying the U.S. economic system on purpose. All of their
economic damage is by design, it's a feature — not a flaw. An example today is so demonstrative of that
point, it's almost a parody. Joe Biden's nominee for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), a branch of
the Treasury Department that polices some 1,125 banks, is a communist ideologue named Saule Omarova. She is directly
from communist central casting and literally from Kazakhstan in the former Soviet Union. Ms. Omarova graduated
from Moscow State University in 1991, and Joe Biden nominated her for the OCC job in September.
My
Fearless Predictions on What Happens Next. Prediction One: The Democrats won't get the economy on an even
keel by 2024. Democrats really need to crank up interest rates to curb inflation right now and flush all their
stimulus and new entitlement plans away right now. Any delay makes the inflation worse and puts the Fed in an
impossible situation when it will really need to raise interest rates to kill inflation. Just in time for the 2024
election. Prediction Two: The Democrats won't curb their CRT wokey crazies before 2024, and the American people
will be fit to be tied by then. In a way, I get why Democrats are saying that there's nothing to see here, no CRT in
the schools. They see their current woke initiatives as just noble activism that continues the fight against the
age-old evils of patriarchy and racism. [...]
What
I Saw At Our Southern Border. Those in charge of our country are not interested in you or your
grievances. They're interested in one thing: fundamentally transforming this country and all but guaranteeing the
demise of western civilization. The shifting demographic of this nation will ensure that the United States of America
as we know it will disappear. Millions have invaded our country, possessing no allegiance to this nation or its history
and as people with little in common are forced to live together, not even speaking the same language, cultural clashes will
ensue. Our government has ceased to perform its most basic function and we have simply been too lazy to notice or even
care. The total stand down at our border is symbolic of what is happening in the rest of the country. The border,
our nation's debt, the fracturing of our culture, and the decline in living standards are all tied together. One trip to the
border and you understand that the defund the police movement is simply an extension of the policy implemented at our borders.
Virginia
Paves the Way for Trump's Return. There has been a great deal of discussion of the widespread Republican
victories last week, many of them belaboring the obvious. Fundamentally, the United States is a political society based
on personal freedom, a free market, and on democratically legislated and responsibly enforced laws. The current
administration's belief in virtually unrestricted immigration, higher taxes, authoritarian regulation — including
COVID vaccine mandates, and a heavy redistribution of wealth from those who have earned it to those who have not —
are all antagonistic to the ethos that the United States has had for all of its history. In the circumstances, some
sort of reversal was almost inevitable and is the off-year American electoral custom. Those who were surprised by the
Republican victory in Virginia and the near-dead heat in New Jersey had not recognized the extent of the affront to
traditional democratic voters of the Sanders-woke-leftward lurch.
Must-see
Tucker Carlson video about the cause of America's woes. Biden is aware that he's failing, but rather than step
away from the White House, he meekly does whatever his handlers tell him to do. That's where security lies.
Unfortunately, his handlers are unchained ideologues. A good government tries to benefit its people and ensure the
greatest prosperity and happiness for the greatest number. A government filled with ideologues is so focused on its
utopian visions that it is willing to destroy the people to "save" them. That's why, for example, that despite polls
showing that over two thirds of Americans oppose reparations for illegal aliens, Biden's government is going forward with the
plan. For the ideologues, taking massive sums of money from struggling Americans to give to people who illegally
entered our country is a means to achieve permanent Democrat political power and all the wonders it will bring.
Viewers
[are] Complaining About Muted Crowd Noise On ESPN For Alabama-LSU Game, Possibly Due To Anti-Biden Chants. The
Alabama football team hosted the LSU Tigers for a Southeastern Conference contest at Bryant-Denny Stadium. [...] While many
college students remain under the spell of their liberal and socialism indoctrination, the college football crowd is not the
typical campus empty heads who are busy playing Hakki sack and smoking hemp. These college sports fans tend to be red
meat-eating Americans as their parents and alumni are. They are not buying into fake news propaganda and it
shows. Chanting "F Joe Biden' has become a new patriotic American tradition. It's not just at football
games. The phenomenon is growing and in just one month has spread to concerts, boxing matches, golf tournaments,
marches, protests, and other public venues.
One
Minute Before Midnight. No one gets to tell you what your job is worth. No one gets to tell you
what you must allow into your body. No one gets to tell you that you have no right to interfere with what they
wish to "teach" your kids. Period. The Founders would alternately laugh and cry at this madness.
No one should be allowed to abridge your right to free speech, to defend yourself, or to believe and worship as you
wish, and your conscience dictates. No faceless, unelected bureaucrat should be allowed to essentially make laws that
seriously impact your life. And no one in power should be able to ignore, overturn or otherwise negate your
vote. (Those who preposterously pretend that there was absolutely no malfeasance in the 2020 presidential election are
either complicit, ignorant, hiding behind a wall of deception, or insane.)
Why Progressives
Ruin Democrats. In 2019 Prince Harry and Meghen Markle, other celebrities, and CEOs flew private jets, which
produce eight to ten times the emissions as flying commercial, and stayed in yachts at a Google conference in Sicily to
discuss climate change. In 2020, dozens of important policymakers around the world were caught violating their own
covid regulations, and sometimes didn't seem to care. When San Francisco Mayor London Breed was caught on video dancing
at a packed night club without her mask on, she demonstrated no remorse. Breed told a television reporter that she was
just letting off steam and people should lay off. Progressives wave away concerns of elitism. Earlier this year,
Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went, unmasked, to the swanky Met Gala, wearing a dress emblazoned
with the words, "Tax the Rich," and surrounded by masked help, including a man subserviently holding the dress train.
Progressive "fact checkers" pointed out that somebody else paid for Ocasio-Cortez's $35,000 ticket, as though that made her
behavior less elitist.
After last night.
The Virginia gubernatorial race was close — according to the most recent New York Times update this morning, the
margin is now is 67,000 votes or 2.1 percent out of nearly 3.3 million votes — Glenn Youngkin appears to
have beaten Terry McAuliffe beyond the margin of fraud. Has Fox News called the race yet? Every media outlet that
calls races preceded Fox News in calling the race for Youngkin. [...] Youngkin's victory is in part attributable to the
catastrophes of the Biden regime. Steve Hayward anticipated the contribution of larger forces to the outcome in his New
York Post column "Virginia goes right every time DC goes too far left." McAuliffe recruited the leading figures in the
Democratic establishment to come out on his behalf. He called on Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, James Clyburn,
Stacy Abrams, and teachers' union honcho Randi Weingarten to stir Democrats. They succeeded in turning the race into a
referendum on the Biden regime as well.
26
Democrats Ask Federal Agencies to Investigate if Texas Migrant Arrests Violate [the US] Constitution.
Democratic members of Congress are asking the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. attorney general to
investigate whether arrests of migrants violate constitutional rights. Over two dozen Democratic members have joined
together to investigate "legal problems that have arisen out of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's border security initiative to
arrest and jail migrants on state criminal charges" reports Austin's local CBS station. Specifically, the 26 Democrats
sent a letter asking the federal bureaus to investigate Abbott's "catch and jail" immigration policy. The
representatives claim the policy violates the U.S. Constitution because of violations of state law and logistical problems
that have resulted from the thousands of arrests.
Just
How Bad Was Last Night for Democrats? All politics is local, and there is nothing more local than your children
and your wallet. If the Democrats were smart, they'd be waking up this morning and figuring that out. Virginia is
right in the backyard of Washington D.C. and the national politics were not enough for the Democrats to hang on to a state
they won by 10 points one year ago. [...] The Democrats were hoping for a lot last night. They were hoping to show
January 6, Donald Trump, alleged voter suppression, and racism would absolutely bring their voters out to the polls
yesterday. They were hoping they could win a race without Trump being in office or on the ballot. They hoped that
division and othering the opposition while not admitting to very real problems with their governance wouldn't be an issue.
The
Media's Desperate Attempts To Protect Biden Spectacularly Backfire. "Let's Go, Brandon" became a popular online
meme after an NBC reporter was shown interviewing NASCAR winner Brandon Brown as the crowd behind them unmistakably chanted
"[...] Joe Biden." In an attempt to gaslight viewers on behalf of Biden, the reporter's response to the serenade was to
utter: "Brandon ... as you can hear the chants from the crowd: 'Let's go, Brandon!'" Suddenly, that phrase
started showing up everywhere, on T-shirts, in headlines, and across the internet. [...] So, by trying to protect President
Joe Biden from the embarrassment of "[...] Joe Biden" chants, the media created an even more popular saying — one
that can't be censored but gets the message out just the same. Except, then they did try to censor it. By taking
down Gray's "Let's Go, Brandon" video — on the ludicrous grounds that it was spreading misinformation about COVID
vaccines — YouTube and Instagram apparently helped propel the song's popularity and drive it to the No. 1
spot. At least, that's what Gray thinks. The New York Post quoted Gray as saying: "Cancel culture doesn't
work anymore. It only works on people who are scared ... all it does is help me out. Thanks, YouTube!"
Democrats
don't want to admit why Biden is failing. The RealClearPolitics and FiveThirtyEight presidential approval
trackers both say the same thing: President Joe Biden has never been more unpopular with voters than he is right now,
and he is growing more unpopular every day. Asked to explain why Biden is so unpopular on Meet the Press today
[10/31/2021], Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher noted that much of the slide in Biden's approval has come from young
Democrats who "took to the streets and marched a year ago" and aren't interested in "roads and bridges." "They were
marching for justice and racial equality. So we have to act on that." Is that where Biden's support is slipping,
though? From Democrats who believe we haven't done enough about "racial equality"? According to ABC News, Biden's
approval rating has fallen furthest on three key issues: "gun violence" (39%), Afghanistan (34%), and "the situation at
the U.S.-Mexico border" (31%).
Portland
Travel Group Says City Is Too Scary For Tourists. Travel Portland is the name of group that promotes tourism to the city. It
describes itself as "a promoter and steward of this evolving city and its progressive values, which have the power to transform the travelers who
visit us." But Wednesday [10/27/2021] the group presented a report to the Portland City Council with some bad news. The evolving city
and its progressive values have become a big turn off to tourists.
PETA
Urges MLB to Replace 'Bullpen' with 'Arm Barn'. Animal rights organization PETA has called for Major League
Baseball to "strike out" the word "bullpen" in favor of "arm barn" because, as the organization claims, the current term is a
reference to a "holding area where terrified bulls are kept before slaughter." "Words matter, and baseball 'bullpens'
devalue talented players and mock the misery of sensitive animals," PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said in a
press release. "PETA encourages Major League Baseball coaches, announcers, players, and fans to changeup their language
and embrace the 'arm barn' instead."
The Editor says...
[#1] If you don't like baseball terminology (or America), don't go to the games. [#2] The overlap between PETA people and baseball fans is near zero,
so the baseball announcers could have a field day with derisive mockery of this suggested destruction of our language and traditions.
Joe
Biden is hopelessly out of touch with voters' priorities. Inflation is at its highest level in decades.
Store shelves are empty. The southern border is in chaos. Hundreds of Americans are still trapped in
Afghanistan. China just tested a hypersonic missile. Employers can't find workers to keep their businesses
running. No wonder more than 60% say the country is going in the wrong direction. But don't worry:
President Joe Biden has a "National Gender Strategy" that will turn everything around. The document, released on Oct. 22,
is every bit as ridiculous as it sounds. [...] The agenda in the document is, at heart, the same tired laundry list of
new government programs that the Left has been trying to force on the nation for decades using other specious
justifications. Nowhere does the "strategy" address inflation or the border crisis. The only time COVID-19 is
even mentioned is when the document asserts that no one has suffered more from the pandemic than "women and girls of color."
And that's not even true — the data indicate that men are more likely to die from COVID.
Democrats
are right to be scared of backlash against critical race theory. In Virginia, parents have realized what's at
stake. Public school enrollment in Fairfax County, one of the wealthiest in the country, continues to drop, even though
schools have returned to in-person learning full-time. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe is rapidly
losing support, especially among voters with K-12 children. And that's because concerns about public education and the
backlash against leftist efforts to keep parents out of it are organic, no matter how much Democrats would like them not to be.

Pure
Marxism: McAuliffe Supporters Are Posting Signs Promising to "Keep Parents Out of Classrooms" as Campaign Winds
Down. Democrat Terry McAuliffe is currently in a tight race against Republican Glenn Youngkn in the Virginia
gubernatorial race. McAuliffe believes parents shouldn't be telling schools what to teach their children in the
classroom. And now as the campaign winds down McAuliffe supporters are allegedly putting out signs to "keep parents out
of classrooms." It's so over the top that it is almost unbelievable. This would be something you'd expect to see in
the former Soviet Union, not in Virginia!
Male
Pregnancy: The Greatest Miracle of All. By now you may have heard of the left's latest insistence that we
drop the expression "pregnant women" in favor of "pregnant people." By using this phrase, they wish to emphasize that
it is not only women who can conceive and carry children. According to the woke, men can now also partake in the joys
of pregnancy. This is surely a remarkable position to take by those who routinely mock the virgin birth of Jesus as
narrated by the New Testament. As you may know, most of our science-oriented woksters think the notion of a woman
conceiving by divine intervention is a completely ridiculous idea that could only be believed by a backward ancient culture.
And yet, these very same people have apparently no problem believing that a biological male can become pregnant.
The Evil
Party. From the eugenics in the early 20th century to Germany in the 1930s, nothing will dissuade a committed
leftist from their objective. [...] In this country, they are in charge, but just barely. A 3-seat majority in the
House and a tie in the Senate they can break in their favor might as well be a landslide in their eyes. They don't let
decisively losing statewide referendums deter them from their objectives, why would they let slim majorities? They
fight to win, and when they lose they sue to overturn the will of the people. Has there been a referendum in California
they've lost they haven't sued over? When Republicans have a clear majority, Democrats filibuster, shut down the
government, and in states they flee to prevent legislatures from doing their jobs. When even a fraction of that favor
is returned — use of the filibuster — it's somehow a rekindling of Democrats' Jim Crow laws. That
is evil.
Moderate Democrats
[are] all but extinct. The Wall Street Journal wrote Tuesday [10/19/2021] that President Biden was making
another attempt to salvage his stalled legislative agenda by meeting separately with progressive and moderate
Democrats. The next sentence was more telling: The moderates were Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Joe
Manchin (D-W.Va.). The progressives were too numerous to mention. If you get the impression there are only two
senators holding back the great flood of government waste known variously as "Build Back Better and the "human-infrastructure"
package, you've got the whole story — as told by the Washington press corps. For my money, the much more
interesting angle, and far more important to the future of America, is what's going on with the other 48 Senate Dems.
All apparently are on board with the most expensive piece of legislation in history and are happy to be called progressives.
People
[are] 'Angry' About Border, Inflation, COVID, 'Ludicrous' Biden Policies. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R)
weighed in on the [...] "Let's Go Brandon" movement sweeping the country Friday [10/15/2021] in an exclusive interview with
Breitbart News. "Let's Go Brandon," replied the Lone Star State governor when asked about the viral trend from the 50 yard
line at the University of Texas's Darrell K. Royal Stadium. "Let's Go Brandon" is the newer, more family-friendly
version of the anti-President Biden slogan which was born after an NBC reporter embarrassingly misreported a NASCAR crowd
chant earlier this month. "It is happening because of the disastrous policies that are implemented by Joe Biden,"
explained Abbott.
We Got Here Because
of Cowardice. We Get Out With Courage. A lot of people want to convince you that you need a Ph.D. or a
law degree or dozens of hours of free time to read dense texts about critical theory to understand the woke movement and its
worldview. You do not. You simply need to believe your own eyes and ears. Let me offer the briefest
overview of the core beliefs of the Woke Revolution, which are abundantly clear to anyone willing to look past the hashtags
and the jargon. It begins by stipulating that the forces of justice and progress are in a war against backwardness and
tyranny. And in a war, the normal rules of the game must be suspended. Indeed, this ideology would argue that
those rules are not just obstacles to justice, but tools of oppression. They are the master's tools. And the
master's tools cannot dismantle the master's house. So the tools themselves are not just replaced but repudiated.
And in so doing, persuasion — the purpose of argument — is replaced with public shaming. Moral
complexity is replaced with moral certainty. Facts are replaced with feelings.
Team
Biden is out of touch with the misery its policies inflict. President Joe Biden's chief of staff brushes off
record-high inflation and the supply-chain crisis helping fuel it as "high class problems." It's a stunning admission of
indifference from a well-connected multimillionaire — but just the latest example of this administration's
cluelessness about Americans' suffering from its failures. "This," Ron Klain emphasized Wednesday [10/13/2021] in
quote-tweeting Harvard economist Jason Furman, who wrote, "Most of the economic problems we're facing (inflation, supply
chains, etc.) are high class problems. We wouldn't have had them if the unemployment rate was still 10 percent.
We would instead have had a much worse problem." Fine: The rising cost of everything from groceries to diapers to
cars is no problem for Klain, who's worth between $4.4 million and $12.2 million.
Democrat
Dog and Pony Shows Come up Short. It isn't hard to point out the failures of Democrats. They're so
numerous it would be difficult to compile a comprehensive list of them. But two recent political gambits by
congressional Democrats are falling flat on their face. Biden's SCOTUS Commission and the congressional J6 commission
have completely failed in their purpose of hiding their incompetence in managing anything larger than a fundraising
dinner. Democrats successfully managed to whip their base into a frenzy over the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the
Supreme Court. It seems like ages ago now, but the #MeToo crowd that trashed Kavanaugh was nowhere to be found when
Trump was able to nominate a second Supreme Court justice, Amy Coney Barrett, who was attacked for merely being a mother
Democrats didn't like.
Perception
is Not Reality. Television ratings for sports, cable news, entertainment and children's programming are all
nose-diving in direct proportion to the amount of agenda-driven ideology being pumped into the content. No amount of
denial, self-deception or spin among the left can change the fact that the public wholly rejects their nightmarish
fever-visions for humanity. What was once a subtle and nuanced bias in the media has become a sledgehammer of over-the-top
propaganda, and the viewers are voting with their wallets and TV remotes to reject such indoctrination tactics.
White
House Chief of Staff Is Not Worried About 'The Help' Dealing With Inflation. If you are wonder whether the
White House is concerned about the middle-class being impacted by massive increases in gasoline, high home heating costs,
extreme food inflation and empty shelves... Well, the message from White House chief of staff Ron Klain is very telling:
[Tweet] Apparently feeding your family and making ends meet is a "high class problem." The elitism and disconnect from the
average American always shows up when you look at DC democrats writ large. They always talk down to those they view as 'the help'.
Is America
Becoming Rome Versus Byzantium? There is now much talk of a new American red state/blue state
split — and even wild threats of another Civil War. Certainly, millions of Americans yearly self-select,
disengage from their political opposites, and make moves based on diverging ideology, culture, politics, religiosity or lack
of it, and differing views of the American past. More conservative traditionalists head for the interior between the
coasts, where there is usually smaller government, fewer taxes, more religiosity, and unapologetic traditionalists.
These modern Byzantines are more apt to define their patriotism by honoring ancient customs and rituals — standing
for the National Anthem, attending church services on Sundays, demonstrating reverence for American history and its heroes,
and emphasizing the nuclear family. Immigration in fly-over country is still defined as melting pot assimilation and
integration of new arrivals into the body politic of a hallowed and enduring America. While red states welcome change,
they believe America never had to be perfect to be good. It will always survive, but only if it sticks to its 234-year
Constitution, stays united by the English language, and assimilates newcomers into an enduring and exceptional American culture.
Backlash
could force Democrats to rethink IRS 'snooping' provision. Congressional Democrats, concerned over lukewarm
public enthusiasm for their massive social welfare spending package, may be forced to modify a tax-raising provision that has
prompted a significant backlash. A plan to provide the IRS with access to individual bank accounts with balances as low
as $600 may end up significantly modified or even dropped altogether amid opposition from lawmakers and trade groups who say
it would infringe on privacy and create significant liability for financial institutions as well as add new costs for consumers.
There
Are A Lot of Brandons. The beauty of "Let's Go, Brandon" is how it not only captures the utter contempt that
America has for our alleged president, who is currently polling about as well as Michael Moore would be among Golden Corral
managers, but how it captures what is either unbelievable cluelessness among the media, or unbelievable mendacity.
Probably some of both. NASCAR driver Brandon Brown [...] was being interviewed by NBC Sports reporter Kelli
Stavast. Now, NBC is [...] perhaps the most full of it of all networks even in a universe that, for some reason,
includes CNN. The crowd in the background begins a chant. It's a chant that is sweeping the nation, heard at
college football games, rallies, and wherever patriots are gathered. It's not "Let's go, Brandon." [...] Everyone hates
Joe Biden, and this spontaneous chant is a symptom of the disease infecting his poll numbers.
Revolt
of the masses: The left has overplayed its hand. I think the left is realizing it has a tiger by the
tail. The people are getting uppity. Parents are assailing school boards over critical race theory and
transgender madness. So much so that the Biden Justice Department is sending out the FBI to investigate whether, as the
National School Boards Association bombastically charges, some parents are guilty of "domestic terrorism and hate crimes."
Boy, it's lucky for those BLM/Antifa rioters in 2020 that they refrained from badmouthing teachers and school officials while
torching the cities. Their "peaceful protests" might have been investigated. Meanwhile, former Democratic Virginia
Gov. Terry McAuliffe, the Clinton bag man who is running again for his old job, stated, "I'm not going to let parents come
into schools and actually take books out and make their own decisions." He added, "I don't think parents should be telling
schools what they should teach." This stuff ticks off parents, and GOP candidate Glenn Youngkin is taking full
advantage. He is running ads accurately depicting Mr. McAuliffe as an authoritarian, anti-parent elitist.
De
Blasio ruthlessly jeered at NYC Columbus Day Parade. Mayor Bill de Blasio just discovered a whole new world of
people who can't stand him. Hizzoner was ruthlessly jeered at Monday's Columbus Day Parade, where several members of
the crowd shouted obscenities and insults at him as he made his return to the yearly Italian American celebration.
[Examples omitted here for brevity, among other things.] Last year, de Blasio sparked outrage from his fellow Italian
Americans when the city public school system scrapped Columbus Day, replacing it with Indigenous Peoples' Day. Also in
2020, de Blasio was excluded from New York's major Columbus Day event. The head of the Columbus Citizens Foundation
told The Post that the mayor was not invited to speak at the virtual event after the cancellation of the in-person occasion
due to the pandemic.
McAuliffe
Calls Parents 'Racist' and CRT 'Made-up,' but Refuses to Define It. How hard up is Virginia Democratic
gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe at this point? He took a beating from his opponent, Republican Glenn Youngkin,
in the last debate, particularly over the issue of parents having a say in their children's education. McAuliffe got
into deep trouble, saying, "I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach." He then got into
more trouble the next day trying to defend that indefensible statement when he said, "You don't want parents coming in, in
every different school district saying this is what should be taught here and this is what should be taught there."
Dissident
Rebels Adopt 'Let's Go Brandon'. Comrades, the command and control authority are struggling to find a way to
block "Let's Go Brandon", claiming it is a forbidden coded message from the rebel alliance. Apparently people
who value liberty and freedom have adopted the expressive term, and the innocuous nature of it makes it problematic to
censor. [Video clip]
Shamelessly pandering to every misguided freak, pagan, and pervert:
Justin
Trudeau mocked after using '2SLGBTQQIA+' acronym. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is being mocked on
social media after he published two posts that mention the latest woke iteration of an acronym for people with different
sexual identities — 2SLGBTQQIA+ — which some likened to an encrypted password or "headbutting the
keyboard." "People across the country are lighting candles to honour Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people
who are missing or have been murdered. We must continue to work together, raise awareness, and advocate to end this
ongoing national tragedy. #SistersinSpirit," the prime minister posted to Facebook and Twitter on Monday, referencing
the Sisters in Spirit vigil, which honors women of specific racial or sexual identities who are missing or have been
murdered. The number and letter '2S' in 2SLGBTQQIA+ includes people who identify as "Two-spirit," referring to someone
who identifies as having both a masculine and a feminine spirit. It is used by some Indigenous North Americans to
describe their sexual identity.
The
Left hates self-sufficiency. Classical Marxist socialism was based upon a presumed revolt of the working
class. Interestingly enough, in the more than 100 years since Marx, there has never been a single revolt of the working
class in a capitalist country — not one. Why? Because in capitalist countries, the working class
has it too good. Workers have no reason to revolt. In fact, in capitalist countries, workers aspire to improve
their lot until they themselves become members of management or business owners. And such economic advancement is
readily available to all who are willing to work hard, devote many hours of time, save and invest money, and accept and
mitigate risk.
If
Politics Are Downstream From Pop Culture, Then What is FJB Telling Democrats? Andrew Breitbart famously said
that politics was downstream from pop culture. Andrew's ability to engage any audience that generally didn't care about
politics, while displaying the Machiavellian manipulators in a way that was brutally effective, made him an enemy to those
who avoid sunlight. What we are seeing amid college football games, and recently any venue where a large audience is
assembling, is really quite remarkable. The cultural shift within the modern political sphere was triggered by Donald
Trump; his election was the biggest middle finger to the elites, and ultimately the scale of his support amid a global
population that was disenfranchised is why they needed to eliminate him. The leftist Marxist's have power.
However, their unquenchable lust for power, specifically showcased in their COVID-19 reaction, has put them in a place where
they are in power but losing the cultural argument.
The
Wife Beater In Chief. [Scroll down] This administration is openly pummeling the people it should be
accountable to, and I fear the nation is being conditioned to believe that they deserve no better. We are told by
*President Husband that we shouldn't complain that he leaves the back door unlocked (to the southern border) every
night. Despite all the people who help themselves to our property, resources, and land. He tells us that we are
the ones who are the problem — simply because we want to sleep in peace and not be taken advantage of.
Another on his team — a guy running for Governor in Virginia — tells us we have no real right as a
parent to know what our kids will be taught in schools. Others within their fold want our kids to report on us if we
say or do certain things that they deem inappropriate[.] They gaslight us when we ask about national security and they
demand unquestioned loyalty as it pertains to their judgement of which groups of radical Muslims they let in. [...] Speaking
of gaslighting — they do this all the time! They tell us that there is no such thing as inflation even
though basic household needs like lumber and copper were over 400% higher in price since his arrival in the White House.
Democrat
push to expand government, inject race alienates 2022 swing voters, polling shows. Newt Gingrich, who crafted
the Contract with America that upset Washington's political status quo a quarter century ago, has quietly been conducting one
of the most extensive polling operations ever of swing voters ahead of the 2022 election. His takeaway:
Democrats' big government, race-focused and America-disparaging agenda could bust the fragile coalition that put Joe Biden in
power last November. His polling, shared with Just the News, shows Americans overwhelmingly think the United States is
the greatest county in history, prefer free-market capitalism to big government socialism, reject the premise of critical
race theory that skin color is a predeterminant to success, and oppose defunding the police. In other words, Democrats
have overreached with an agenda that this week alone will put $4.5 trillion in government expansion on the table in Congress
with a series of critical Biden agenda votes.
New York
Times publishes redesigns of the American flag, Twitter mockery ensues. The New York Times published an opinion
essay on Tuesday that imagined new designs for the American flag, some of which emphasized divisions and decline in the
country. "The American flag is a potent piece of national iconography, but its design shifted frequently until the
early 1900s. What if it were redesigned today? We asked artists and graphic designers to try," the Times
wrote. "Some are functional designs, others artistic renderings; some represent America as it could be, others how the
artist sees the country now." One design from Andrew Kuo shows a flag split into four rectangles with one square
consisting of red and white stripes while the other three are solid blue, yellow, and green rectangles. According to
the artist the red stripes represent the past, the white stripes represent the future, while the solid colors represent
"untapped potential," "repairing systemic racism," and "taking care of our planet."
The Editor says...
[#1] Obviously, the people who publish the NYT hate American traditions and want to destroy them all.
[#2] I doubt if one American citizen out of ten thousand cares enough about "taking care of our planet" to
alter the design of the U.S. flag to express such concern.
The
Democrat party no longer shares values with Catholics. For a half-century and more, [the Democrat party of the
United States] has co-operated with those who were willing and often eager to undermine and eventually destroy the classical
American family — that is, the married two-parent family, the social unit that, according to Catholicism, is the
building block of any society. When I was young (I'm very old now), marriage was thought to be the proper location for
sex, for child-bearing, and for child-rearing. Now, thanks to Democrats and their morally liberal supporters, marriage
is often looked on as a charming antique. [...] Catholicism regards abortion as a kind of homicide — or as Pope
Francis said recently, murder. Democrats, diametrically opposed to the Catholic view, see abortion as nothing less than
the exercise of a "fundamental human right." Only the other day, every Democrat but one in the U.S. House of
Representatives voted in favor of a bill that will, if it becomes law, give federal statutory protection to almost any
imaginable abortion up 'til the moment of birth. This diametric opposition of views is not limited to abortion.
It is also found with regard to homosexual practice. Democrats consider this practice to be a fine and splendid thing,
at least for those who are "born that way" — so fine and splendid, in fact, that it deserves to be at the center
of a new and honorable kind of marriage. Catholicism, on the other hand, considers homosexual practice to be a grave
sin, a contrary-to-nature perversion.
Democrat
Terry McAuliffe Makes Enormous Blunder at Virginia Governor Debate. Last night [9/28/2021], Democrat Terry
McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin debated again as part of the race to be the next governor of Virginia. [...] During
the debate, typical positions were staked out, but when the topic of what's being taught in schools came up, McAuliffe made
an enormous blunder. The clip is still going viral this morning. [Tweet with video clip: Terry McAuliffe:
"I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach."] On what planet should parents not be directly
involved in what's being taught to their children? It is parents who elect schoolboards or elect the officials who
appoint them. Kids are not wards of the state, not yet anyway, and it's jarring to see someone who wants to be governor
of a fairly large state pronounce that parents should have no say in whether educators feed their children garbage or not.
Youngkin should have this playing on repeat in every single ad he puts out over the next month before the election.
Glenn
Youngkin Goes for the Jugular After Terry McAuliffe's Stunning Declaration on Public Education. Though it's
laughable that Clinton Democrat Terry McAuliffe keeps trying to portray himself to Virginia voters as a "woke" moderate with
the all-important backing of so-called "leading conservatives" like Never Trumper Bill Kristol in the state's closely-watched
gubernatorial race, what's not in any way funny is what he declared last night during his debate with Republican nominee
Glenn Youngkin on the issue of public education and parents' roles in what their children are being taught. As we
reported earlier, McAuliffe and Youngkin were sparring over state education guidelines on transgender students, what's
appropriate to teach children in public school classrooms, and if parents should be notified when lesson plans will include
sexually explicit content when a visibly agitated McAuliffe told a persistent Youngkin that "I don't think parents should be
telling schools what they should teach." For those who missed the moment, watch: [Video clip]
Liberal
Parents Raise Young Child Without A Gender, Make HIM Wear Girl Clothes, Play With Girl Toys. This is
Zoomer. Zoomer was born a boy. How do we know? Because he was born a boy, that's how. Zoomer was also
born with two liberal leeches attached to him. These liberals were Zoomer's parents and refused to acknowledge Zoomer's
born gender identity and instead called HIM they and them. They also made Zoomer play with both boy and girl toys as
well as wear dresses and male clothing, just in case Zoomer was a born drag queen or something. At age 4, Zoomer
figured out he was a boy and this was a big moment for his not-so-bright parents. [Video clip]
The Editor says...
Luke 17:2
The
War on Veterans. Brown University, the prestigious Ivy-League college in Rhode Island, has an ROTC corps on
campus, but they are not allowed actually on campus. You read that right. For whatever reason the future officers
of America that come from Brown are not allowed to actually be on campus. How about the town of Medford,
Massachusetts? The Socialist mayor of the large town north of Boston, Breanna Luengo-Koehn is putting forth legislation
to stop war veterans "5-point preference" for civil jobs like Police departments and fire departments. Luengo-Koehn is
giving the 5-point preference to people of color citing "The preference for veterans is not compatible with our social
justice agenda[.]" When the veterans service officer for the town spoke up, he was removed from City Hall by police
escort and is now on leave pending an ordered "Psychological evaluation[.]" Oh yes, the crazy veteran narrative. In
2009 and 2021, United States veterans were classified as a threat to national security by the Department of Homeland
Security. A leaked document from DHS in 2009 outlined veterans as "Susceptible to recruitment from right-wing extremist
groups[.]" It caused so much outrage that DHS Security Janet Napolitano had to apologize to veteran groups in a press
conference from the White house. Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi have gone to great pains to point out that 30 of the members of
the January 6 trespassing event were veterans and government needs to do more to "Root out extremists in the ranks[.]"
Dem
wants non-citizens to vote in NYC elections: 'If people have a problem, they should move'. There can be no
mistake that Democrats want to see as many illegal immigrants as humanely possible flow into the United States. Common sense
and logic dictate that there's no other answer as to why the Biden administration is allowing over 200,000 migrants a month
to illegally enter the country. With well over one million illegal immigrants having entered this year, and the total
approaching two million, the question is why would this be a priority for the party? Democrats seem hellbent on
granting amnesty to those in the country illegally, with the belief that many of these unskilled migrants will vote blue,
giving the party what would be a deciding influx of millions of new voters. It may be decades before they lose another
national election. But some lack the patience for the political machinations to play out here and simply want to change the
laws to allow non-citizens to vote.
Protesters
Shout Down Al Sharpton's Press Event at Texas Border Bridge Camp. The Rev. Al Sharpton toured the
makeshift Haitian migrant camp situated under the local international bridge Thursday. At the conclusion of his visit,
Sharpton attempted an impromptu press conference. His remarks were cut short after protesters shouted him down until
choosing to leave the site. In the video, a visibly frustrated Sharpton can be seen trying to speak to media. Shouts
from the crowd of mainly residents included the phrases "go home," "get out of Texas," and "our Border Patrol are heroes."
Attendees eventually crowded the reverend's entourage as they exchanged words — prompting a quick departure.
Cruz:
South Texas Democrats Threatening to Leave Party over 'Open Borders'. Wednesday [9/22/2021], during an
appearance on FNC's "The Ingraham Angle," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Democrats in South Texas, which he explained was a
long-time Democratic Party stronghold, were weighing leaving the party over the Biden administration's handling of the
U.S.-Mexico border. Cruz also said that as long as the Biden administration refused to apply the law, the problem would
worsen. [...] "Most of the local elected officials in South Texas are Democrats, and that's long been a Democratic area of
the state," Cruz continued. "I got to tell you, every elected Democrat I met with was so horrified by what's happening
at the border. They said to me over and over again, they said, Listen, if the Democratic Party is the party of open
borders, count me out. I can't support this."
Democrats
Are Watching Helplessly as Their Influence Over Florida Is Destroyed. Florida was once considered a
battleground state, but whatever influence the Democrats had over the Sunshine State is swiftly disappearing as issue after
issue plagues their efforts to gain momentum and their footholds are disappearing for the first time ever. According to
The Hill, Democrats are facing a myriad of issues such as a fundraising gap a mile wide when compared to the Florida GOP.
This is on top of the fact that the voter registration advantage that they've held for years has effectively been destroyed,
going from 700,000 more registered voters in the state to just 23,551 over the course of 2008 to today.
Idle
hands do the devilish Dems' work. The hardest working states, as measured by WalletHub, are predominantly
Republican. The lowest 10 in the rankings are mostly run by Democrats. Probably not a surprise since they were
lavish with unemployment benefits and other work disincentives. Democrat-run states and cities rarely score well in
various quality of life ratings. Notably, the U-Haul ranking of states by migration growth shows that people are
fleeing blue states for red states, usually for economic reasons. They intend to work hard and benefit from the fruits
of their labor. The dignity and sense of purpose that accompany hard work can be tied to long-lasting happiness —
which conservatives enjoy more than liberals — versus the fleeting, instant gratification the ingordigious lefties pursue.
Politico:
Biden's domestic agenda [is] near collapse — and Dems know it. A trillion here, a trillion there,
and sooner or later people start noticing the math doesn't add up. Enough people have noticed this about Joe Biden's
expansive and expensive domestic agenda to put the entire enterprise on the verge of collapse. And Democrats know it,
Politico reports, but are too torn to stop what appears to be inevitable: [...] As pointed out in my earlier post, Biden has
suddenly gone from team leader to albatross in the midterm fight. His approval polls have sharply tanked ever since the
debacle in Afghanistan, making it even more difficult to get moderate Democrats behind Biden. The big question now is
whether Biden can rebound from it, or whether this becomes a Hurricane Katrina confidence-crisis cascade. That may
depend in large part whether national media outlets choose to keep providing Biden cover on the abandoned Americans in
Afghanistan, but if hostage situations arise, that will become an impossible task.
Newt
Gingrich has a plan for regaining Congress. Newt Gingrich, the one-time history professor whose insights in
1994 about the American electorate helped Republicans gain control of the House for the first time in 40 years, thinks he's
got a plan that will return Congress to Republican control in 2022. His research has revealed that there are multiple
unifying issues that concern all Americans and that Republicans are the ones with the more appealing platforms regarding
those arguments. [...] According to Gingrich, there are 16 issues that bind Americans together. Indeed, 85% of voters
are in accord as to these issues, with only a left fringe opposing the majority viewpoint. The most obvious issue is
defunding the police, which Americans strongly oppose. The most interesting thing Gingrich and his team discovered
while working with Larry Kudlow, is that Americans haven't really bought into socialism, although they think they've
been alienated from capitalism. However, if you frame the two political systems by talking about liberty versus big
government, people suddenly view them differently.
The Masking of the
Servant Class: Ugly COVID Images From the Met Gala Are Now Commonplace. From the start of the pandemic,
political elites have been repeatedly caught exempting themselves from the restrictive rules they impose on the lives of
those over whom they rule. Governors, mayors, ministers and Speakers of the House have been filmed violating their own
COVID protocols in order to dine with their closest lobbyist-friends, enjoy a coddled hair styling in chic salons, or unwind
after signing new lockdown and quarantine orders by sneaking away for a weekend getaway with the family. [...] But as is so
often the case, the most disturbing aspects of elite behavior are found not in what they have prohibited but rather in what
they have decided is permissible. When it comes to mask mandates, it is now commonplace to see two distinct classes of
people: those who remain maskless as they are served, and those they employ as their servants who must have their faces
covered at all times. Prior to the COVID pandemic, it was difficult to imagine how the enormous chasm between the lives
of cultural and political elites and everyone else could be made any larger, yet the pandemic generated a new form of crude
cultural segregation: a series of protocols which ensure that maskless elites need not ever cast eyes upon the faces of
their servant class.
Democrats
Continue to Lose Ground in Texas as Hispanic Voters Turn Their Back on the Left. The blue wave that the left
said was going to hit Texas continues to recede further and further back as numbers continue to show Democrats losing ground
in the Lone Star State. According to Texas Monthly, Starr County is turning red by leaps and bounds with Republicans
showing up in droves and increasing their presence by the triple digits while Zapata County is seeing red for the first time
in decades.
Left-wing
ideologues on 20th anniversary of 9/11: The Capitol riot was worse. Give it a rest, just for one day.
Saturday marked the 20th anniversary of the day Islamic terrorists brutally murdered nearly 3,000 Americans, some of whom
were crushed by the collapsing World Trade Center towers while others fell to their deaths or were burned alive. It was
a somber occasion, leaving many as angry as they were sad. However, not everyone treated the anniversary with the
gravity it deserved. Indeed, rather than pause their partisan activism for even 24 hours to mourn the dead, or at least
allow the victims of the attacks to grieve in peace, certain left-wing activists continued this weekend to attack their
conservative neighbors. Some even saw the 20th anniversary as a perfect opportunity to draw a straight line between the
Jan. 6 Capitol riot and 9/11.

Amid
Disasters at Home and Abroad, Biden White House Staffers Busy Choosing 'Magic Spirit Animals'. They call them
"public servants," although that usage is a bit quaint in this age of staggeringly corrupt, self-serving politicians, and
it's good to know that Biden White House staffers are hard at work, doing everything they can to improve the lot of Americans
and protect our nation and its allies. Politico reported Tuesday that "some people in the Biden administration are huge
Harry Potter fans" and are spending a lot of time choosing "magic spirit animals" for themselves.
Rep.
Nancy Mace: All House Democrats Voted Against Survey Of Weapons Left In Afghanistan. Rep. Nancy Mace
(R-SC) noted on Wednesday [9/8/2021] [...] that every Democrat on the House Oversight Committee voted against her proposal to
survey the equipment and weapons abandoned in Afghanistan by the Biden administration. Mace said she proposed an
investigation of the national security implications of military equipment abandoned by the U.S. government in Afghanistan in
her capacity as a member of the House Oversight Committee. She introduced a legislative amendment to utilize "a very
nebulous line dealing with $25 million" to "invest and look at what [military equipment]" was given up in Afghanistan.
The
Biden Administration Announces an End to Its Legislative Agenda. Effectively, the Biden Administration is
signaling to all parties involved that it no longer has any interest in attempting to get legislation through Congress.
Instead, it will simply fight through the use of executive actions that are almost certainly going to be challenged in the
courts and fail. They cannot get even the most basic parts of their agenda through Congress. Biden himself is so
underwater in the polling and in the eyes of his peers that he has no political clout to speak of. His policies are
being stopped by Joe Manchin, a member of his own party, who is more concerned with his voters and his re-election chances
than he is pushing the party's agenda. And that, by the way, is a clear sign that the Democratic Party, not the
Republican Party, is falling apart at the seams. When your party is in power, you have some leeway to push the party
agenda even if your voters don't like it. But if you can't even get a single piece of your legislative agenda through
Congress because of a member of your own party, you're in serious trouble.
Biden
gets hostile welcome in NJ touring damage caused by Hurricane Ida. President Biden on Tuesday [9/7/2021]
traveled to New York and New Jersey to tour areas struck by deadly flooding from Tropical Storm Ida, but he received a
hostile welcome from some North Jersey residents who heckled him and flashed middle fingers. Biden repeatedly
attributed the flooding that killed at least 50 people last week — 13 of them in New York City — to
climate change as he pushed his $4.7 trillion infrastructure and social spending bills. A Manville, NJ, man interrupted
Biden's message by shouting, "Resign, you tyrant!" as he toured a devastated neighborhood. A pool report said the
heckler was standing with a Trump flag in his front yard. Reporters positioned between Biden and the irate local said
the president did not react to the taunts. Other pro-Trump protesters had greeted Biden's motorcade along its route
through North Jersey.
New
Jersey locals heckle 'despicable' Biden as he tours neighborhood wrecked by Hurricane Ida floods. President Joe
Biden visited New York and New Jersey on Tuesday [9/7/2021] to view flood damage from Hurricane Ida that killed 52 in the
Northeast — and had to endure angry hecklers as he sought to provide comfort to suffering families. Biden
also warned that the nation was now experiencing extreme weather in 'real time' and once again pitched his infrastructure
plan as a way to rebuild, saying scientists are warning 'this is code red.' Biden met with state and local leaders and
planning to tour devastation in the area, just days after the visiting storm-ravaged neighborhoods near New Orleans and on
the Louisiana Gulf coast.
Utility
Workers In Louisiana Show What They Think Of Biden As His Motorcade Pass Them By. President Joe Biden visited
Louisiana to survey damage from Hurricane Ida, after almost a week of the deadly storm ravaging the eastern half of the
United States. The President met with local leaders, surveyed some of the storm's damage and delivered remarks in
LaPlace. He also participated in an aerial tour of some of the communities hardest-hit by the storm and met leaders in
Lafourche Parish. [...] But what the mainstream media failed to show is the fact that Louisiana's citizens don't like Biden
at all. One video that was sent to us a few moments ago shows Louisiana utility workers doing the same thing that
Biddeen did to the American people as Biden's motorcade pass them by. [Video clip]

It's
a Movement: Chanting Against Biden and They're Not Holding Back. Demented grandpa is not a good look when
it gets Americans killed. The veil that the media had placed over Biden suddenly got ripped off for a lot of people and
they saw what a deficient leader and human being he truly was — for a lot of people who may not have been looking
closely before. The media may try to spin for him in the future but it's going to be hard to stuff that genie back in
the bottle, especially when he continues to fail to address the ongoing issues.
Biden's free fall.
Biden's approval ratings are in a free fall, with good reason. Pluralities disapprove of the president's performance, based on the RealClearPolitics and FiveThirtyEight polling averages. [...] Here are a few reasons, in no particular order:
• The Afghanistan fiasco and the terrorist attack at the Kabul airport killing 13 American soldiers and at least 90 Afghans;
• Failure to end the COVID crisis despite the gift of safe and effective vaccines former President Trump provided him through Operation Warp Speed;
• The crisis on the southern border, which Biden brought upon due to his reversal of Trump administration policies;
• High levels of crime in major cities across the U.S. while at the same time his progressive allies promote far-left ideas like defunding the police and Critical Race Theory;
• A disappointing August jobs report due to the administration encouraging welfare over work — only 235,000 jobs were added to the economy in August, far off the estimates of 728,000 or more.; and
• Inflation and record debt due to out-of-control spending, which is getting pushback from even some in his own party.
The best straw poll ever!
Florida
diner that posted note refusing service to Biden voters is forced to close after it SOLD OUT of food. The
Florida diner where the owner posted a sign turning away Joe Biden voters after 13 US troops were killed in Afghanistan has
had to shut its doors — because so many people called to buy meals for veterans that the small business ran out of
food. 'I've gotten so many people calling me from all over the world, from Europe, trying to purchase meals for
veterans, which I still haven't been able to organize,' said Angie Ugarte, who posted the sign in the window of the DeBary
Diner in the central Florida city of DeBary. 'I think that the veterans will be fed for the rest of the year at the rate
I'm getting donations.'
Biden's
America-Last Administration: U.S. Aid Will Keep Flowing to Taliban. The war is lost, but no one is going
to be held accountable and the same blinkered woke dopes are in charge. In fact, the one whose very name is Blinken,
the secretary of State, explained Monday how the Taliban could gain the "international legitimacy and support" that is
obviously such a high priority for them, and explained that even if it didn't become the Leftist woke paradise of Blinken's
imagining, the American money will still flow. Of course. It always does. Blinken claimed risibly that
henceforth, the America-Last administration of Biden's handlers would be guided by a concern for something that has never
appeared on its list of priorities up to now: "our vital national interests."
Dem
Congresswoman Blocks Names of 13 Dead Service Members from Being Read on House Floor. On the heels of what
sounded like a disastrous meeting between President Joe Biden and family members of those killed in a suicide bombing in
Kabul last week, GOP members of Congress said that one of their Democratic colleagues blocked the names of the 13 deceased
service members from being read on the floor Tuesday [8/31/2021]. While members of one Gold Star family walked out of a
meeting with President Joe Biden before he even got a chance to speak with them, one Democrat shut down Republican veterans
who wanted to read off the names of those lost.
The Editor says...
The Democrats want this story to be stuffed down the News Media Memory Hole as soon as possible. Any commemoration
of the 13 service members would not help that effort.
A
Baby Boomer Explains What's Wrong with Millennials. If you're over 50, you might remember occasionally seeing
small children throw temper tantrums in public, 25 or 30 years ago, and wondering what those kids would be like when they
grew up. Well, now you know. [...] [M]ost young people these days seem to desire two things above all else: to live in
a socialist utopia and to become internet millionaires — completely oblivious to the reality that those two pipe
dreams cancel each other out. Entrepreneurship requires free markets, which is why there are no hipsters happily
blogging away for six-figure salaries in Caracas or Havana coffee shops. Clearly, we're talking about a bunch of
overgrown preschoolers who have been so coddled and protected all their lives that they have no idea what it means to live in
the real world and are frightened by their occasional glimpses of it.
Who
will take the fall for Afghanistan? One of the Marine Corps principles of leadership is to accept
responsibility for your actions. In most Western cultures, those who fail spectacularly then resign. Traditional
Japanese military culture demanded that those who failed commit suicide out of shame and honor. In modern Democrat
party political culture, there is no true individual responsibility for one's own actions, either in public or private
life. Everything that goes wrong is either someone else's fault or society's fault. It's a victimology
cult. A hollow, ritualistic statement of "the buck stops here" is then usually accompanied by the non sequitur
of blaming someone else. This is what President Biden did yet again in recent days.
Not
Incompetence: Afghanistan and Globalism. Democrats' actions are motivated by their goals. If we
understand their goals, then their actions should be clear. Trump was the first serious Republican president who
rejected globalism and believes in the nation-state — America First. That's why Democrats not only hated
him, but felt entitled to do anything and everything, legal or illegal, to stop him. Democrats were laser-focused on
removing Trump from office, by waging an unprecedented daily media campaign against him, using our Intelligence Community to
spy on him, impeaching him twice, and even fraudulently winning the 2020 elections. With Trump, globalists and
socialists now fear his 75 million supporters. They have become the new obstacle. That explains the intense hate
campaign to tarnish them as racists, "white supremacists," and dangerous insurrectionists against the state. Democrats
and their media are not looking for the truth or to dialogue with the Trump side over the pros and cons of globalism.
Democrats want to keep their goals covert because if they're open about their plan, the majority of Americans will reject it.
The
Real Reason Democratic 'Moderates' Are Revolting Over the Biden-Pelosi Agenda. The moderates don't trust Pelosi
to keep her word on passing the bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure bill that passed the Senate two weeks ago at the same
time as the House agrees to consider the budget bill. It's a delicate dance that Pelosi is trying to choreograph, with
the radicals not trusting her to deliver on the massive budget bill and the moderates not trusting her to keep her word on
voting for the infrastructure deal. Indeed, if the massive spending bill is passed by the House, many of the radicals
wouldn't see the need for an infrastructure bill. Conversely, the moderates don't want to be stuck voting for the
hyperpartisan spending bill without the infrastructure bill. It would be the kiss of death in swing districts, and it
would be a major selling point for any of their Republican opponents. Both groups feel they've been doublecrossed
before. Now, it's degenerated into a trillion-dollar game of chicken.
Afghanistan
eats Joe and Nancy's pork. On the night before Afghanistan collapsed, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and all the
bigfoot Democrats were in the catbird seat. Their $4.5-trillion stimulus package was in the bag with both houses of
Congress, and all that was left was the vote. Now things have changed. [...] The $1-trillion "infrastructure" bill,
along with its Bernie Sanders-crafted $3.5-trillion "reconciliation" bill, are falling apart fast. The Associated Press
is making no bones about it. Nancy Pelosi is begging her own moderates to play ball, and time is running out.
Nine Democrats are vowing to withhold votes, likely because they are hearing from voters, and Pelosi can afford to lose only
three.
In
Mandatory Training, CA Faculty Union Leader Says There's Nothing Good About 'White' Culture. During last week's
two-day mandatory "antiracism" training for members of the California Faculty Association leaders went just a bit further
than many Critical Race Theory sessions — including laughing over the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. The
union, also known as CALFAC, is the exclusive collective bargaining agent for all faculty in the 23-campus California State
University system, including lecturers, professors, counselors, librarians, and coaches.
Biden's
epic Afghanistan debacle: here's what it means for the Dems' progressive agenda. How can anybody defend
abandoning the strategically critical Bagram Airfield in the dead of night, gifting to our enemies untold amounts of
armaments, and not preparing for the evacuation of tens of thousands of Americans? How can anyone say it's OK for the
French, Germans and British to send forces into Kabul to rescue their own people while U.S. troops are told to stand down?
Heads should roll, but under the insipid and gutless guidance (not leadership) of Joe Biden, they will not. Instead,
his Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Vice President Kamala Harris serve as props, standing literally if not figuratively
behind the president as he struggles to answer questions from a suddenly inquisitive press corps. The only remotely
positive aspect of the epic disaster unfolding in Afghanistan is this: all Americans — indeed, the entire
world — have now seen the real Joe Biden, and will now question the president's credibility and capability.
A Call to Action.
[Scroll down] Independents and moderates don't like this any more than we do. They understand that Democrats
destabilize our democracy when they flout the law, disregard the Constitution, or defund the police. They see the
hypocrisy in opening the border with no restrictions for COVID, criminality, or skills, yet closing it to Cubans or Afghans
escaping real persecution. They fear being silenced by the Army of the Woke or petty authoritarians using COVID to
curtail their freedoms. They're revolted by demands to end racism with racism and nullify all of education and history,
achievement and progress in the name of white supremacy and privilege. They justifiably recoil when activists co-opt
their children's mental health with fanciful notions that something humankind has always taken for granted, is a choice along
an ever-changing gender continuum.
The
Afghanistan Debacle is Exactly What the Left Wanted. There's not much to say that hasn't already been said
regarding Biden's unconditional surrender to the Taliban, and it's only the first week. Bookshelves will be filled with
analyses of these events, and we won't understand their full ramifications for decades. My two cents, for what they're
worth, are that the left doesn't consider the fall of Kabul and the betrayal of our allies to be a tragedy. Rather,
this is deliberate foreign policy strategy, and it's right on track. The pattern is clear for those who wish to
see. Simply put, the left thinks America is not only evil, but irredeemably so. Hence, any policy, be it foreign
or domestic, that weakens our nation-state should be pursued, the goal being that the nation-state will eventually corrode to
the point of collapse. They don't care that the hollowed-out dystopia will be long past its desirability for
subjugation, so long as they get to be in charge.
DeSantis:
Biden's 'Letting Afghanistan Burn,' 'Obsessed' with Taking Away Parental Rights and Forcing Kindergartners to Wear
Masks. On Wednesday's broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "Hannity," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said
President Joe Biden is "obsessed with having the government force kindergartners to wear masks all day in school" and
"obsessed with taking away parents' rights" while he's allowing Afghanistan to fall apart.
CNN
Analyst Argues Against Rescuing Americans Outside Kabul Airport. You snooze, you lose. Let 'em rot.
That was essentially the message CNN counterterrorism analyst and former CIA operative, Phil Mudd was sending the American
citizens and Afghan allies that couldn't make it to the Kabul airport because they're too scared to risk going outside or
live in other parts of the country. His comments were so shocking that they even took Prime Time host Chris Cuomo by
surprise during Wednesday's show. Mudd's callous comments were preceded by him trying to downplay how much of a
disaster President Biden's leadership had been. He even suggested we wait two to three YEARS before we make a full
assessment of what happened with the withdrawal.
The
Dystopia Of Progressivism. Welcome to the new America — the United States of Dystopia: open
borders, massive increases in government, reckless spending, crushing debt, demonized and defunded police, coddled criminals,
cancel culture, identity politics, censorship, and socialism. America is becoming unhinged. Who should we
blame? One immediate candidate is the progressive wing of the Democrat Party, which now controls the beltway
bureaucracy, the White House, most of Congress, and the mayors and councils of our urban ghettos. [...] And now the
progressives want to change America by opening borders, defunding police, emptying jails, increasing debt, suppressing
speech, and revising history. Already, too many potential Democrats are crossing the border, irrespective of COVID,
trafficking and, the fentanyl accompanying them. But Cubans, unlike Central Americans, are not welcome since they tend
to vote Republican. Our cities burn and innocent citizens are shot, but the police who serve and protect must be
demonized and jails emptied, because disorder is preferable to order whose maintenance is the first duty of sound
government. Suppressing speech is not progress. Yet Leftists routinely defame their opponents as 'racist,'
'sexist,' 'misogynistic,' 'homophobic,' 'xenophobic,' 'fascist,' or 'deplorable,' using demagoguery reminiscent of Senator
Joseph McCarthy to drown out speech with which they disagree.
Storm Clouds
For Biden. For the first time in quite a few years, prices for staple items are rising rapidly, and with the
federal government borrowing and spending at a record pace that trend can only accelerate. People aren't happy about
it: this Fox News poll finds that 70 percent of respondents consider grocery and gasoline prices to be a hardship for their
families, with 29 percent considering them a serious hardship. Further, 79% say "the federal government's economic
policies" are responsible for rising prices, with 49 percent considering them "very responsible." To be fair, respondents
also blame the coronavirus — not sure how that works — and "the regular ups and downs of the economy."
But as prices continue to rise over the next year, more and more fingers will be pointed at Joe Biden and the Democrats.
Autonomy for Red America,
Part 1. The events of 2020 revealed this leftist turn against free expression had reached the non-tech parts of
corporate America, as well. During the summer's Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots, millions of Red Americans watched
in helpless horror as nearly every large company they'd encountered or patronized — including most of the most
ubiquitous companies long assumed to be apolitical — rushed, in a moral panic, to signal their fealty toward BLM
and the most radical racial politics. In fact, the larger the company (and the larger their base of customers likely to
oppose the corporate virtue signaling), the more likely they were to release denunciations of American society as rife with
"white supremacy," and to make donations to radical racial, anti-white charities. These decisions startled many who
believed that large corporations were loath to insult the sensibilities of half of their customers, and indicated that, finally,
political ideology had trumped the bottom line. In other words, Red Americans saw that these companies no longer
wanted their business. More than seventy-three million of them voted for Donald Trump in 2020, in no small measure
as a defiant protest against what they understood to be a threat to their way of life that is larger than politics.
Meet
the White House's new vaccine 'influencer'. Remember Pajama Boy, the onesie-clad man with hot chocolate who was
hired by Obama White House allies to get young people to buy the Obamacare and its 'narrative'? Well, now it's Benny
Drama. He's the new pop face of the Biden administration's bid to persuade the public to get vaccines. [...] When I
first saw it, I wondered if it was some conservative parody. But nope, it's real, complete with Jen Psaki in her
general unpleasantness, serving as a foil for the act. That moves us on to what it is — an ad for the Biden
administration, targeted at young people, supposedly through satire. But as satire, it falls flat because the Biden
administration hiring a person like this is perfectly believable.
The
White House Actually Hired This Freak To Socially Influence Kids To Get Vaccinated. The White House has
apparently hired an Instagram influencer who goes by the name Benny Drama. Clad in a Thom Browne seersucker shorts
suit, Kooper storms the White House to make some calls, deliver some coffee, and, of course, create some content. After
popping in to say a quick "Hey" to POTUS, Kooper goes on to assist White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki with a variety of
tasks, including booking a nail appointment — not that she'd asked for one. "It's called initiative," he
says. [Video clip]
Today's
Democratic Party Has Evolved into a Progressive Politburo. Recent political events that have unfolded over the
past year have revealed a disturbing pattern of an identity politics-fueled progressivism, evolving from its once distasteful
authoritarian impulses, towards a more sinister version, that increasingly exhibits totalitarian proclivities. From the
tactics used to coerce or extort corporate compliance with the policy preferences of progressives to the current struggle to
inculcate public school children with the tenets of Critical Race Theory (CRT), in word and deed, progressive ideologues are
mirroring the tactics used by the former Soviet Union to crush all political opposition and exact compliance with their
divisive ideology. The political tactics of progressive partisans, carried out and nurtured through the political
institution of the Democratic Party and its subsidiary organizations, including the higher education establishment, the
media, and now in corporations, have become overweening, ruthless, acrimonious, and unapologetically extreme.
Washington
Post: Biden's Migration Policy Is 'Politically Toxic'. President Joe Biden's border disaster is
"politically toxic" for Democrats, according to the Washington Post's editorial board. [...] In reality, the semi-open
border policy is powered by the self-serving and very deliberate political alliance of progressives and investors. That
same alliance can also explain the Washington Post's narcissistic and minimal coverage of migration economics.
But that rational alliance is dangerous to the Democratic Party's traditional goals because the public is deeply opposed to
wealth-shifting, wage-cutting economic migration. One symptom is a deep internal split in the Democratic Party, which
is largely hidden by the media's refusal to cover migration's pocketbook impact.
Congressional Dems'
Own Polls Show Them Tanking. It looks as if Democrats just now realized there's an election next year.
After months of repeated appeals from pollsters, consultants, and former officials, Congressional Democrats finally appear to
be hearing the warnings that their party and their message is not resonating with voters. But with the party still
firmly in the grip of radical progressive politicians and donors, Democrats may have already sealed their fate for
2022. According to a new poll commissioned by the party's own campaign arm, the Democrat Congressional Campaign
Committee, Democrats are trailing Republicans by 6 points on a generic ballot among likely voters in swing
districts. Those results, particularly on the economy, which 55% of respondents said they did not trust Democrats to
handle, have rightly alarmed Congressional Democrats. One Democratic member was quoted as saying that the numbers
looked "pretty dismal," while Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) said bluntly "we're not breaking through."
Independent
Voters Have Absolutely No Reason to Support Biden, and the Polling Shows It. [Scroll down] The problem
for Joe Biden now is that the voters who went with the supposed safer and saner bet are no longer sure of their vote.
The proof is in the numbers that came out earlier this week. Biden currently stands at 53 percent approval, which is
too close to that 50 percent mark this early in an administration. Both Politico and The Hill, in reporting on the
poll, point to COVID-19 as the primary concern, but as my colleague Brandon Morse mentioned in the above link, the economy
very likely has something to do with it as well. Not to mention the reporting we're seeing coming out of various school
districts where the independent voters are parents who are rejecting far-left critical race theory in their childrens'
schools, the teachers' unions fighting to keep schools closed, and many other far-left cultural battles the super
progressives of the Democratic Party are very vocally pushing.
A
grandiose Rep. Cori Bush says the quiet part out loud. We've all known about this quiet part: It's
the one that says that high-level leftists, the ones who want to take our cars, air conditioners, heating, health care,
travel rights, and money, do not have to abide by their own rules. Rules are for the little people and, when it comes
to Bush's need for personal security guards while she's defunding your police, Bush is happy to explain why she's special.
Rep
Cori Bush Throws Tantrum on Live Air Defending her $200k Security Force While Simultaneously Calling to Defund the
Police. During an interview on Thursday with CBS News, Democratic Representative Cori Bush went on one of the
most insane rants on live air while defending her $200,000 security force while simultaneously calling to defund the
police. Over the past week, Bush has been sleeping outside of the Capitol to protest the end of the eviction moratorium
due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the stunt, Bush has been called a hypocrite considering she has spent tens
of thousands of dollars on private security while calling to defund the police. During the interview with CBS, anchor
Vladimir Duthiers urged Bush to respond to the criticism.
Biden
to unveil stricter emissions standards for vehicles, exceeding Obama-era regulations. President Biden will
unveil sweeping new regulations on cars and trucks on Thursday, returning America over the next five years to the strict
standards that the Obama administration had imposed but former President Trump walked back. The proposed rules drafted
by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation would tighten emissions standards to be more in
line with aggressive measures established by California in 2019, but which Mr. Trump had blocked. On mileage
rules, automakers also will be required to raise their average miles-per-gallon score of their fleets by 3.7% starting with
the model year 2023, which would include cars sold next year. That standard also had been proposed by California.
Why Trump Still Terrifies the Democrats.
One of the residual effects of last year's chaotic election is the palpable fear of former President Trump that still haunts
the Democrats. [...] The actual source of Democratic trepidation can be found in their lackluster performance in the 2020
presidential and congressional elections combined with Trump's clear intention to become very much involved in boosting
Republicans in next year's midterms. First, a reality check concerning the 2020 election: Biden didn't win a
popular vote landslide as the Democrats still claim. According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) totals, he won
81,268,924 of 158,383,403 ballots cast. In other words, 77,114,479 people voted for Trump or one of the third-party
candidates. That nearly 49 percent of the voters cast ballots against Biden, despite the unprecedented support
he received from the media and Big Tech cannot fail to worry rational Democrats.
Democrats
Panic as Latinos and Asian Voters Leave The Party. While the Delta variant of COVID is making headlines, Joe
Biden is attempting to shore up support from minority voters, a normally solid Democratic voting bloc, in advance of the
upcoming midterm elections. Biden and White House aides are meeting with key figures in the Latino, and Asian American
and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities, reports the Washington Examiner. These are two demographics that Biden and
Democrats have been warned they can't take for granted in 2022, says former Democratic consultant Christopher Hahn. "I
believe they did in 2020, and it almost cost him the election," Hahn told the Washington Examiner. Hahn is the host of
the podcast Aggressive Progressive. Donald Trump made huge gains with Latinos and Asians in 2020. And that swing,
if it continues, threatens the Democrats' electoral prospects.
The Editor says...
If Latinos start voting Republican en masse, you can bet the
Mexican border will be sealed up as tight as the Berlin Wall.
Wake Up, RINOs!.
The Democrat party has always had radical elements. But up until 2001, the party had mostly kept them at bay. In
that year, surrendering to their insanity, they welcomed the guidance of radical leftists — and the purges
began. With primary challenges, the leftists began driving moderates from the Democrat party. They even forced
Joe Liebermann out of the party — and he had been their vice presidential candidate in the election of 2000.
A mere 20 years after that devastating election loss, the likes of Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ilhan Omar
are now the soul of the party. The Democrats no longer share any meaningful common ground with Republicans.
Incompetence + Arrogance = Woke.
In the last 18 months, we have seen most of our major institutions go woke and spend considerable amounts of time, capital,
and labor on what might be called "commissarism." Yet in their zeal to rectify society in general and sermonize, virtue
signal, pontificate, and perform to the public, many institutions are increasingly failing at what they were established to
do. Of course, public servants have long suffered the "Bloomberg effect" — focusing on misdemeanors to
virtue signal competence as penance for failing to solve the existential crises. If you cannot clear New York City of
snow in a timely manner, then lecture the trapped on everything from global warming to the dangers of super-sized soft
drinks. Yet wokeism is a bit different since it now pervades our societies as a pandemic of its own.
The
Three Horsemen of the Bidenapocalypse. Catering to the party's far left has poised the Democrats over a cliff from which
I see no soft landing. Without backing off, they've lost the favor of the nation. But backing off will fracture the party
and cost it its most fervent leftist wing — indeed, its most strident supporters are already demanding more. Biden's
popularity sinks more every week and Harris's is not much better. Rasmussen reports the latest poll shows that 47% of Likely
U.S. Voters approve of President Biden's job performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove. The two polls on Harris's
favorability last week show her disapproval ratings edged out the approvals as well.
Joe Biden's failing
first crisis. It's difficult to find many Americans who aren't frustrated with Biden. A solid majority,
55 percent, told pollsters from ABC News they are pessimistic about the direction of the country in the next 12 months, with
only 45 percent saying they are optimistic. The survey represented a dramatic swing of 20 points since May, when
two-thirds said they were optimistic. The findings are stunning given that much of the media, especially the Times, has
treated Biden with kid gloves for the first six months of his presidency. But the protection racket can't hide what
people see with their own eyes. The inflation tax at the checkout line and gas station is inescapable, as is the
two-year crime and murder surge around the nation. On those two bedrock issues and so many others, the White House
seems either incompetent or impotent.
Why
Would Any Cuban-American Ever Vote for a Democrat Again? [Joe Biden] doesn't listen to average people. He
and his ilk are much more heavily influenced by well-known celebrities and others who have spent their lives supporting the
Castros. A group of them crowd-sourced by a leftwing organization called "The People's Forum" placed a full-page
advertisement in The New York Times on 22 July demanding that The Hologram end the Cuba embargo (while remaining
completely silent on the government crackdown on the Cuban protestors): [Tweet] Check out some of the signatories:
Jane Fonda, Susan Sarandon, Daniel Ellsberg, Cornel West, Noam Chomsky, Oliver Stone, etc. Socialists, Communists,
radicals, fellow-travelers, reprobates, fools. But then these are the people with and to whom Democrats socialize and
listen, not regular people. I would wager that the vast majority of them voted for The Hologram and The Cackler, too.
Now
There's Absolutely No Doubt It's Over for Joe Biden. The trend among likely voters in the Daily Presidential
Tracking Poll is clear. It appears the flip-flop on CDC mask guidance is rubbing Americans the wrong way. For the
last three days, total disapproval has been over 50%, and the approval index between those who strongly approve and strongly
disapprove has been -13, -16, and -15. These ratings accompanied announcements about requiring vaccines at the Veteran's
Administration and other federal agencies. This poll is a valuable tool to detect trends because it uses a consistent
methodology to assess the feelings of likely voters. Rasmussen picked up the daily presidential poll when Gallup
abandoned it during the Obama administration. Biden's approval rating has not been above water since February 15, 2021,
when it was at 53%.
Irony,
Absurdity, and Dishonesty — The Democrat Party's Playbook. I have watched while the Democrat Party,
its partisans in state-controlled media, and their ever-so-virtue-signaling but absurdly never-self-aware politicians have
had just about everything they say and do "boomerang" on them and hit them square in the noggin. I cannot have been the
only guy to have observed this spectacle and have been, well... gobsmacked. Please pardon me for the sarcasm inherent
in the commentary, but the issues and actions presented are just over-ripe for it and are pristine targets for sarcasm and scorn.
Democrats
Rank Biden Above Lincoln, JFK, and FDR. You won't be too surprised to learn that Obama is worshiped by
Democrats as the living incarnation of the messiah of hope and change, ranking higher than all of the presidents of the past,
but you may be slightly more surprised to learn that Biden comes in second. Yes, Biden has joined the ranks of the
immortals, topping JFK, Lincoln, and even FDR, who once had his own cult of personality. Bill Clinton breaks even with
George Washington, but Biden is only second to Obama in this new grand revisionist history in which America was born out of
slavery in 1619, the police came into being to catch slaves in 1962, and Biden is the second greatest American in human
history. When you hate America and its history, you really will believe anything.
Democrats No More.
In the old days, Democrats had predictable agendas, supposedly focused on individual rights, the "little guy," and distrust
of the military-industrial-intelligence complex. The Left, often on spec, blasted the wealthy, whether the "lucre" was
self-made or inherited. The old-money rich were lampooned as idle drones. [...] Almost every liberal cause was couched
in terms of "The First Amendment" — whether it was the right of shouting obscenities, viewing pornography, or
bringing controversial speakers to campus. The Supreme Court was sacred. Thanks to the holy, liberally packed
court led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, enlightened, progressive justices supposedly restrained the harebrained ballot
initiatives of hick right-wing populists. Once upon a time, leftist congressional officials investigated the CIA and
FBI nonstop. [...] Politicians like Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Bill and Hillary Clinton railed against illegal
immigrant "cheap labor" that "drove down" American wages. That was then; this is now.
Onslaught:
Psaki Finds Herself Under the Gun on Covid Cases, CRT, Hunter Biden, Masks. Following a day off due to
President Biden's CNN town hall in Ohio, Thursday's White House press briefing gave us another welcome surprise as Press
Secretary Jen Psaki found herself under the gun from not just Fox's Peter Doocy, but a variety of reporters on issues such as
Covid cases inside the administration, Critical Race Theory, Hunter Biden's artwork, and masking. Just as her colleague
Weijia Jiang called out Hunter's sketchy arrangement on July 9, CBS chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes hammered
home the fact that he's "going to be able to meet with prospective buyers at two art shows where his paintings are going to
be on display" and thus asked Psaki if that would go against "the goal of keeping him in the dark about the buyers...to
prevent even the appearance of undue influence."
Joe
Biden and his administration are attacking us, and they're not even being secretive about it. Rather than
trying to subvert our truth-seeking journalism surreptitiously, the Biden White House is announcing their attacks as if it's
a point of pride. In fact, the White House is so proud of its anti-conservative offensive that Joe Biden's
communications director Kate Bedingfield went on MSNBC this week to directly identify their target. "There are
conservative news outlets who are creating irresponsible content that's sharing misinformation about the virus," she
said. Bedingfield didn't say that conservative news outlets were lying or publishing falsehoods because we
aren't. Instead, she said our content is "irresponsible" because we dare to point out the contradictions, obfuscation,
and misdirection presented by Dr. Fauci and other "experts" who expect Americans to follow them blindly and without
question. To the Biden White House, questioning their party line and reporting the whole story in order to let our
readers make up their own minds is irresponsible.
Swing
Country: Rural Dems run from party. A growing swath of House Democratic candidates says the party needs
to radically improve its heartland appeal to have any hope of keeping power in Washington. With control of the House
and Senate on the bubble, many ambitious Democrats — from the South to the Midwest to the Rockies — are
running against their own national party's image. After four years of listening to President Trump, many rural voters
are reflexively distrustful of progressive solutions to everything from the pandemic to infrastructure. In a 3-min. ad
for his Senate campaign, Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio never says he's a Democrat.
The Editor says...
This is not unusual. I used to work at a TV station. Part of my job was to watch commercial breaks as they aired, especially
political ads, to be sure that the entire 30 seconds aired as scheduled, without any technical glitches. I noticed years ago
that political candidates rarely mention their party affiliation in their TV ads.
Axios:
Anyone else notice Dems running away from their party? Has the Democrat brand gotten so damaged already, as
Axios' Alexi McCammond suggested this morning, that their incumbents have to run away from it? It depends —
mainly on location. The first case in point, and perhaps the most obvious, is this three-minute campaign pitch from a
man who contended at one point for Speaker of the House. Note well what dog doesn't bark in this ad from Tim
Ryan: [Video clip] As one can see, Ryan first put this out in late April — three months
ago — in a bid for the Democratic nomination for the Senate seat in Ohio. Ohio has gone sharply Republican
over the last few cycles, and perhaps even more sharply populist. However, McCammond notices that Democrats in other
states are distancing themselves from the party's label, and more importantly from the messaging of its leadership.
Pausing
a minute to consider the damage leftism does to America. We are no longer in a world with people to the left
and right of a normal center. The Democrat party, in its effort to bring about Marxism without pushing purely economic
myths, has embraced criminals, open borders, bureaucratic corruption, and out-and-out insanity about gender and race.
Those Americans who claim to be non-political, who don't like either party, who thought Trump was vulgar, who claim Joe Biden
isn't really senile — they need to look around and decide if the result of letting Democrats take charge creates
an America in which they want to live and that they want for their children and grandchildren. And if they dislike the
crime, population shifts, corruption, racism, and perversion, they need to get off the sidelines and act.
'Squad'
member Cori Bush, a 'defund the police' advocate, recently spent $70,000 on private security. Missouri
Rep. Cori Bush spent nearly $70,000 on private security over the past three months as she advocated for defunding the
police, campaign filings show. Bush's campaign sent $54,120.92 in payments between April 15 and June 28 for "security
services" to RS&T Security Consulting, a New York-based firm with a mysterious online presence, Federal Election Commission records
released Thursday show. The Democrat's campaign also paid $15,000 to Nathaniel Davis for "security services" over the same
time period. The $69,120 in security payments accounted for more than a third of Bush's $197,000 in campaign expenditures
during the second quarter, the FEC records show. It's also nearly double what her campaign spent on private security during
the first quarter of 2021.
Why
would any American oppose America First? Why would any American hate America First policies? Why would
American politicians despise America First? Why would someone born, raised, and rearing children in America not want
America First? What is wrong with putting the needs, wants, security, and future of your own country first, ahead of
others? Why would any American want to diminish the potential of their own country and thus its citizens and thus his
family for the sake of elite globalists who ignore the average American at every turn? Why put the globalists'
ambitions ahead of hardworking families who only want better for their own kids than they had for themselves?
Election
Day 2022 will be Independents' Day. A July 7-8 Reuters/Ipsos poll, which reported only on independents who
approved of Biden's job performance, put that approval at 44 percent. If this negative trend with independents
continues, Democrats could face strong headwinds in 2022 as they try to maintain their slim majorities in both the House and
Senate. The White House and congressional Democrats have focused on Biden's overall job approval numbers to bolster
their case that the president and his progressive policies are popular with the public. They're right that Biden remains
just above 50 percent in most polls, a function of his Democratic base support. Republicans, for the most part, were
never with him. What they aren't talking about, however, is what appears to be Democrats' looming problem with independents.
Immigration
'amnesty' could be career-ending vote for Senate Democrats: Poll. As the Senate, nudged along by West
Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, moves to include immigration for millions of illegal immigrants in an infrastructure bill,
new polling shows it could be a career killer for several Democrats up for reelection next year. Data provided to
Secrets by the Federation for American Immigration Reform found most blame President Joe Biden for the border crisis and that
a large majority believes that providing a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants in the legislation would only make the
crisis worse. One early draft of the infrastructure bill would put $150 billion to immigration policies, including the
path to citizenship.
Leftists
have a racist, divisive, and ultimately nihilistic view of America. Congresswoman Cori Bush recently tweeted
that July Fourth is a holiday celebrating White people's freedom only. Her tweet is part of the radical left's effort
to take over America. It ignores that, while America struggled with slavery in its founding, it endured a horrific
Civil War to end it and experienced a robust Civil Rights Movement to realize the Declaration of Independence's
promises. We are faced now with a choice between the vision of Karl Marx or that of the Declaration of Independence,
Abraham Lincoln, and Walt Disney. [...] Bush, a former BLM activist, has revolutionary intentions. Any fool knows that
what she said is hogwash. She is merely providing a smokescreen for Antifa's and BLM's rioting and violence.
Their blatant goal is to use violent revolution to overthrow the American government and install a communist
dictatorship. She is not alone.
Fleebag
Texas legislators become figures of fun. Texas's Democrat legislators, who dramatically fled the state to
prevent a quorum on a vote for a voter-integrity law, had it all worked out beforehand that they'd be hailed as heroes for
democracy. [...] Start with the flight: They got on their flight together and posed for a group selfie, but forgot some
important details. One was that they weren't wearing masks, despite dictating it for others. Two was that the
private flight seems to have been paid for by a Lebanese hedge fund manager, which if true, makes it even more gamy.
Three, it was a private plane, and these people hector us on global warming. Four, alert Internet sleuths spotted a big
box of Miller Lite beer taking up one of the seats and drew their own conclusions.
Texas
Democrats prove how little they think of democracy. One of the things Democrats like doing when they win is to
rub everyone's nose in that victory. In January 2009, Republicans wanted to discuss Obama's stimulus package.
Obama couldn't be bothered. "I won," he said. Discussion over. In 2021, although Democrats barely hold
power in Congress, with a 50-50 balance in the Senate and a bare 9-person majority in the House, they plan to remake
America. However, when Democrats are the minority, they abandon the process entirely — which is what Texas
Democrats did, running away on a beer-stocked, gas-guzzling private jet to kill a voting rights bill. The background to
the story is that the Texas Legislature, which currently has a Republican majority (18-13 in its Senate and 83-67 in its
House), is poised to pass a voting reform bill. As with similar bills across America, the point is to ensure that the
people voting have a legal right to vote and are, in fact, who they claim to be. The most contentious issues for Democrats
are cleaned-up voting bills and, especially, photo ID. The problem is that most Americans support photo ID.
Most
Black People Oppose Olympic Protests Like Gwen Berry's: I&I/TIPP Poll. When hammer thrower Gwen Berry
decided to protest the national anthem at an Olympic trials event last month, she raised the prospect that athletes will try
to use the Tokyo Olympics to disparage their own nation. If they do so, they will get precious little support at
home. The latest I&I/TIPP poll finds that the public overwhelmingly rejects athletes showing disrespect for the
American flag at international games. The poll found that 79% of the public say it's important "for professional
athletes to publicly respect the American flag on the international level," with 60% saying it is "very important."
Just 16% of the adults surveyed think it's not important.
The
Week In Review. On the Fourth of July, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) stated via Twitter, "The Declaration of
Independence says all men are created equal. Equal to what? What men? Only white men?" Not to be outdone,
Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) tweeted the same day, "When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember
this: the freedom they're referring to is for white people." [...] Throughout the week, Rep. Bush was repeatedly
referred to as a member of "The Squad." When did that happen? I thought The Squad was four members:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rep. Ayanna
Pressley (D-MA). Did the other four vote Bush in? If so, was it unanimous? Just curious.
The radicalization of
the American elite against liberalism. The elites, increasingly sequestered within one political party and one
media monoculture, educated by colleges and private schools that have become hermetically sealed against any non-left
dissent, have had a "social justice reckoning" these past few years. And they have been ideologically transformed, with
countless cascading consequences.
Explaining
the Full Armor of God to an Ignorant Media. When Ron DeSantis, Florida's conservative Republican governor and
likely presidential candidate, said recently we need to put on the "full armor of God," the media looked at him like he was
crazy — or from another planet. But his supporters gave him a standing ovation. As secular liberals,
most of the press have no familiarity with the phrase, its origins, theology, or importance. They are bigots against
religion and unschooled in what used to be the norms of American life, churches, and culture. The press and nearly our
entire elite ruling class, in academia, sports, politics, media, business, and culture are biblically illiterate and have no
idea what the Jar of Nar (John 12:3) refers to; where the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35) led or who travelled
on it; or even what happened in the garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-46).
Is
America still a Great Power? Looking at the state of America through the lenses of patriotism and conviction of
destiny, the outlook looks precarious if America is to maintain its great power status. The American Left, for example,
has joined a global movement in the West centered in self-loathing or hatred of one's own country. Thus, we see plans
like the 1619 Project, which was designed from the outset to utilize the history of slavery in America to create a degraded
narrative of America's founding and the shared history of its citizens. This agenda persists with the continued
disrespect to the American flag and our national anthem.
It's
Official: Patriotism Is Conservative — and Bad. This has been building for some time now, but
it's finally out in the open: To be overtly patriotic and show public support for the American flag is now a sign of
conservatism. Not the longstanding traditional "good" conservatism of small government, fiscal discipline, and a strong
military. No, these days, to be a flag-respecting, America-first patriot is to reveal oneself to be a white-privileged,
Trump-supporting, LGBT-phobic, terminally non-woke ignoramus of the lowest kind. Rehabilitation from such a position is
impossible in the eyes of the enlightened Progressive. In the current social climate, to be patriotic is a permanent
brand of both cultural illiteracy and personal ignorance.
Dems
are losing the multiracial working class on basic lifestyle issues. The Democrats have a problem: They
have run away from their core voters. And they are beginning to notice and worry. Lefty blogger Kevin Drum noted
this recently. He observes that Republicans have moved slightly to the right, but Democrats have moved way, way to the
left on social issues. Drum says he is "personally happy" about the Democrats' move left. But he is worried,
because while the Democratic Party has moved hard left, the voters it relies on to attain power haven't. Thus, in the
2020 election, former President Donald Trump — despite being called a white supremacist and a Hispanic-hater by
all the mainstream media — picked up black and Hispanic votes.
Tennessee
and Georgia Need Real Republican (Conservative) Governors ASAP. It has been said of the Democratic Party that
its leaders and rank-and-file all act in unison despite whatever differences they might have. This has become so
extreme it appears to have morphed into a reconstituted Marxism under new "progressive" nomenclature like "anti-racist."
"Liberalism," as we knew it, barely exists anymore. The opposite is said of Republicans who are and have been a
collection of individualists, going off in different directions, often to their own detriment. That's not entirely
true. The Republican rank-and-file increasingly tend to work together toward a common end, the preservation of liberty
and capitalism. It's an unfortunate number of their leaders that seems mired in self-interest and traditional backroom
politics out of synch with their supporters.
Squad member says Fourth
of July is about freedom 'for white people'. Democratic Rep. Cori Bush disputed the Fourth of July's
message of independence on Sunday, saying the holiday only represents freedom "for white people." "When they say that
the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they're referring to is for white people," Bush, a
member of the left-wing "Squad," wrote on Twitter amid celebrations of the 245th Independence Day. "This land is stolen
land and Black people still aren't free." "We know what our own freedom looks like," Bush wrote hours later in a
follow-up tweet. "End the slavery permitted under the 13th amendment. End the War on Drugs. End police
violence. End health care, housing, and education apartheid. WE are the experts on our own liberation. And
we won't stop until it's won."
The Editor says...
The blacks want a separate Independence Day, a separate national anthem, trillions of dollars in reparations for slavery,
no consequences for black crime, anti-white racism in public schools, anti-white discrimination, and centuries of "affirmative
action" programs. They stoke race-based resentment wherever possible, trying to permanently divide the country.
The Democratic
Party is Naked and Afraid. While the "defund the police" movement is unpopular with the American people, so too
are other Democratic positions and policies. A recent Rasmussen poll found that "a majority of Americans are against
women having to compete against biological men in athletics." Despite this, the Democratic Party continues to advocate for
this unpopular policy. In that same Democratic caucus conference call Representative Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) stated,
"we need to not ever use the word socialist or socialism ever again." I agree, because the Democratic Party isn't a
socialist party today, but is more accurately defined by Marxism and totalitarianism. But Spanberger's remark
reinforces what I believe — America is still not a majority socialist, Marxist, or communist country.
America is still mostly conservative — the so-called "silent majority." This silent majority is waking
up, as evidenced by the increasing pushback against critical race theory, for example.
When
Leftists Say They Love 'The Constitution,' They Don't Mean The Real One. Earlier this month, a task force
within the National Archives, which is responsible for stewarding our nation's original founding documents like the
Declaration, released a report declaring its own rotunda, where the documents are displayed, to be structurally racist.
It called for "trigger warnings" around the displays as well as "reimagining" the rotunda to "dialogue" about the
"mythologization" of the founding. Many Americans are rightfully indignant at seeing their country and its founding
principles belittled and ostracized in ways big and small like this. Some are also wondering where it came from.
Why such a sudden and dramatic rejection of basic American ideals? Can't we all agree on the Declaration of
Independence? This rejection of the American founding didn't come out of nowhere — it's been brewing and
building for over a century. Leftists who engage in this kind of faultfinding do have a constitution to which they
proclaim fidelity, and which they believe should rule America. It's just not the original Constitution.
Marvel
celebrates July 4 weekend by having Captain America say American dream 'isn't real'. Marvel Comics is
celebrating Independence Day by having the iconic hero Captain America tell readers that the American dream "isn't real."
The first issue of "The United States of Captain America" by writer Christopher Cantwell sees Steve Rogers, the famous red,
white and blue "Avenger," lament the nation's "white picket fence fallacy."
Is she watching the Antifa rioting when Trump was inaugurated, or the false flag operation on January 6?
Claire
McCaskill starting 'new family tradition' of re-watching Capitol riot footage every July 4. MSNBC political
analyst and former Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill said Friday she and her family will start a new tradition this
Independence Day by re-watching footage of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The Missouri Democrat said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe"
that The New York Times's new video, "Day of Rage: An In-Depth Look at How a Mob Stormed the Capitol," will become
standard viewing at her family gatherings every July Fourth. "We're going to start a new family tradition in my
family," Ms. McCaskill said, according to a clip flagged by Grabien Media. "On the Fourth of July and every Fourth
of July going forward, we're going to watch that video that The New York Times put together of Jan. 6."
Obama
and the Broken Nation He Made Come Of Age. Barack Obama turns 60 over the summer. The AARP cover with
Barry posing next to a basketball and a shelf of bestselling non-fiction books he hasn't read can't be too far away.
Once the symbol of youthful hipness, the former boss of Hope and Change now lectures "young people" on what they should be
doing. His legacy is being carried forward by 78-year-old Biden and the 81-year-old Pelosi. That's above the
average age of 80 of the House Dem leadership. The average age of the Biden cabinet is two years older than President
Trump's cabinet. The gerontocratic technocracy uses AOC as its younger foil, but she's been a stalking horse for Bernie
Sanders who will hit the big 80 in the fall. The big donors behind the American Left are even older with George Soros
due to hit 90 the same month Obama gets to 60.
Democrats
Get Some Really Bad News as Normal Americans Wake Up. [Scroll down] Meanwhile, on issues like illegal
immigration and reparations (among other "social justice" crusades), there is no coming back for Democrats. They've
gone all-in and there's no stuffing the genie back in the bottle. If they crack down on illegal border crossings,
they'll lose their left flank. If they continue the status quo, they lose the suburban center that previously killed
Republicans in 2018. Further, the pushing of racial essentialism and critical race theory is turning off a lot of people who
see it as divisive pseudo-science. Republicans are also most trusted on bread and butter issues like the economy and
crime, which are things that more often than not decide elections. Again, I don't see how the Democrats rebound on that
front either.
Radical
left crazies openly cheer cop killer on social media. As if the things going on on the left couldn't get
crazier, a slew of social media characters are posting cheer to man who cold-bloodedly shot a cop in the head in Daytona
Beach, Florida. [...] The dynamic we see now though is not just comparable to Antifa and the Black Panthers. It's
actually one that is similar to that of spray shooters. The maniacs do an awful act, and the Internet minions, often
anonymous, cheer and egg them on, making them feel good about their crimes. That happened with the freak who shot up
the synagogue in Poway based on Jew-hate, and now it seems to be moving to cops. The cheers are not only vile in
themselves, making the criminal feel important, the other thing is that they have potential to prompt new attacks on cops as
some new loser decides that he too can go from "zero to hero" with the copycat urge among this bunch is very strong.
That's how things work with spray shooters. Now we see it with sworn cop-killers, it's a social dynamic. Facebook
does nothing to stop this so far as we know.
Buckle
Up, Democrats. The Biden Border Backlash Is Coming, and CRT Will Make It Worse. While President Joe Biden
may want to distract Americans from the border crisis and downplay the threats of Marxist critical race theory (CRT) and
inflation, Americans know better. Most Americans recognize the border crisis as a serious issue, blame Biden's policies
for exacerbating it, and say Biden should return to former President Donald Trump's policies on the border. Americans
also worry about the threat of inflation and oppose CRT in schools.
Harvard
poll: 80% see border disaster, want Trump closure restored, reject teaching critical race theory. The Biden
administration is failing big time with its inability to control illegal immigration, adding it to one of several issues that
could doom Democrats if left unchecked. In a new Harvard/Harris poll, an overwhelming 80% said that illegal immigration
is a serious issue and one that needs more attention than what President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris are
giving. What's more, 68% said that signals from Biden's White House are encouraging illegal immigration, and 55%
believe that former President Donald Trump's border closing policies should have been left in place.
Democrats —
Not Republicans — Are The Radicals To Worry About. Wikipedia has a long entry on the "radical
right," but nothing on the "radical left." Los Angeles Times reporter Jackie Calmes has a new book out subtitled "The
Radicalization of the Republican Party." CNN's Brian Stelter says that "Experts warn about the radicalizing power of
right-wing media networks." The list is endless. Enough! This is the mother of Big Lies! Every day, it
is the Democratic Party that is pushing an agenda more radical than yesterday. Its agenda is comprised of critical race
theory, defunding police, open borders, socialism, nationalized health care, a federal takeover of elections, extremist
environmentalism, packing the Supreme Court, killing the filibuster, the Green New Deal, cancel culture. None of these
gets majority support in this country. This isn't just a small slice of the Democratic Party, either. Poll after
poll shows that it is those who identify as Democrats who are way out of the mainstream.

Psaki Contends the Remaining $1.6 Trillion In Unspent Pandemic Relief Funds Are 'Minimal'. The Committee for a
Responsible Federal Budget is attempting to track the federal pandemic relief money as it gets spent. According to
their charts, out of the $900 billion authorized to be spent through administration actions, $700 billion has been allocated;
out of the $5.9 trillion authorized to be spent through legislative actions, $4.3 trillion has been allocated, and out of the
$6.3 trillion authorized to be spent through Federal Reserve actions, only $3.3 trillion has been allocated. Even if we
just stick to the administrative and legislative actions, that's about $1.8 trillion — not exactly chump change.

Bans Pledge Of Allegiance At Meeting, Attendees Recite It In Protest. Silverton, Colorado, Mayor Shane Fuhrman
announced that the Pledge of Allegiance would be banned at trustee meetings and faced nearly immediate backlash. "Due
to direct and indirect threats, inappropriate comments in and out of public meetings and general divisiveness and issues
created in our community, we will not be reciting the Pledge of Allegiance during Town of Silverton trustee meetings," he
announced during the June 14 meeting, Fox 31 News reported. In response, attendees recited the pledge during the public

Filtering out the riffraff:
Disney
is 'pricing out loyal customers' by targeting more affluent families with $800 hotel rooms and $100 sandwiches.
Disney has been accused of pricing out loyal customers by targeting affluent families with $800 hotel rooms and $100
sandwiches at its theme parks, despite having scaled back its 'magic' since the pandemic began. A family vacation to
Disneyland — once the pinnacle of summertime for middle-class American families — will today set a family
of four back more than $6,000. With the average annual income now standing at $5,725 a month, this means a visit to the
so-called 'happiest place on earth' is increasingly out of reach to the average American family.
Illinois
city cancels July 4 parade over COVID-19 concerns but allows Juneteenth and Pride celebrations. The city of
Evanston, Illinois, located just north of Chicago, joined communities across the U.S. in celebrating their first in-person
Juneteenth parade Saturday, but some have been left wondering why celebrations for the nation's Independence Day have been
canceled. The Evanston Fourth of July Association voted to cancel the town's Independence Day events earlier in 2020
and opt for a virtual celebration instead — citing concerns over the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. "Based on
concern for public health due to the unpredictability of the pandemic's impact, vaccination rates, and in cooperation with
our local authorities, the Trustees... voted to cancel the Fun Run, Parade, Palatine Concert Band performance and Lakefront
Fireworks show on July 4, 2021," the board wrote in a statement.
Evanston,
Illinois holds 'Pride' and Juneteenth parades but cancels parade for Fourth of July. Contempt for this country
has been spreading from academia, where it first gained a foothold during the Vietnam War, to infect the commanding heights
of our institutions. The cities and towns that hist the most prestigious colleges and universities almost without
exception are bastions of the left. Berkeley, California, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Cambridge, Mass, and not least Evanston,
Illinois, home of Northwestern University. Evanston, Illinois made headlines recently by becoming the first city in the
country to pay "reparations" to Black residents who lived there between 1919 and 1967, or who were descended from someone who
did, and who "had been a victim of discrimination in housing because of policies or practices in the city in that
time." Now, it is dissing the founding of the country.
Illinois
town holds Pride and Juneteenth parades, cancels July 4th celebration. The town of Evanston, Illinois, is
holding Pride and Juneteenth parades during the month of June, but canceling July 4 fireworks and Independence Day
festivities. The municipal government of Evanston had a grand announcement for its Juneteenth parade on Saturday.
While the theatrical performance will be virtual, the parade will proceed in-person as scheduled. Residents are also
invited in-person to attend post-parade celebrations outdoors for "an afternoon of art, music, food and community."
The
tide is turning against the woke-liberal blob that misrules us. The death of George Floyd has been used to push
a vast array of unrelated racial policies, including the defunding of police and the teaching of left-wing critical race
theory that blames every ill in society — even violence by blacks against other minorities — on "white
supremacy." In Baltimore, defunding police has led to an outright tax revolt among businesses, which see no reason to
pay good money to a city that doesn't consider them worthy of protection. Businesses in the historic Fells Point
district have written the city, demanding the return of basic services like law enforcement and trash pickup before they pay
any more taxes. Meanwhile, at famed Thomas Jefferson High in Fairfax County, Va., a slate of parents opposed to
critical race theory won election to the board. One of those candidates, Harry Jackson, the first black man elected to
the board, denounced how CRT is "teaching that white people are inherently racist."
Education
Secretary Prioritizes Transgender Students Over Biological Girls, Does What Supreme Court Hasn't. Americans
can't say they weren't warned. During his Senate committee confirmation hearing in February, Education Secretary Miguel
Cardona affirmed his support for transgender athletes during a line of direct and intensive questioning by Sen. Rand
Paul, R-Ky. Cardona stated, "I think that it's critically important to have education systems and educators respect the
rights of all students, including students who are transgender, and that they are afforded the opportunities that every other
student has to participate in extracurricular activities." Cardona on Wednesday cemented his department's formal
position on the matter, indicating that the U.S. Supreme Court's Bostock v. Clayton County opinion extending workplace
discrimination protections under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act to gay and transgender employees would likewise be applied
by the Department of Education to gay and transgender students under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
Hypocrisy
of the Woke Dons. If a thing goes without saying it goes even better when being said. First, it should be
said that the main, indeed usually the only real, target of the woke brigade is the democratic western world, primarily the
U.S., the UK, and Israel. The woke brigade claim to be attacking past and present manifestations of colonialism and
slavery, but their accusations never extend to the slave trade of the Ottoman Empire, or to the oppression of the Rohingya by
Burma, or Chinese crimes against humanity involving the Uyghur. The woke attack is not only a diminution of the
positive contributions of the West but has also affected the self-confidence of the West. For example, Linda
Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the UN since February 2021, has stated she had seen for herself how the "original sin
of slavery weaved [sic] white supremacy into our founding documents and principles." The U.S., she holds, is an imperfect
union and has been since the beginning.
Why
Flag Day 'Disturbs' Obama and the Dems. Last week, the New York Times Editorial Board Member Mara Gay made the
season's most notable Kinsley gaffe in her account on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" of a harrowing trip to New York City's eastern
suburbs on Long Island. "I was on Long Island this weekend visiting a really dear friend, and I was really disturbed,"
said Gay live on MSNBC, where she is a contributor. "I saw, you know, dozens and dozens of pickup trucks with
explicatives [sic] against Joe Biden on the back of them, Trump flags, and in some cases just dozens of American flags, which
is also just disturbing because essentially the message was clear: This is my country. This is not your
country. I own this." After Gay had finished recounting how she found "just disturbing" the sight of "dozens of
American flags," co-host Mika Brzezinski chimed in, "Totally agree."
Ilhan,
If You Don't Like It Here... House Democrats released a statement on Wednesday night [6/9/2021] condemning Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-NY)
for comparing the United States and Israel to an Islamic terrorist organization. Only 12 Democrats condemned Omar, which is less than
6% of the total number of Democrats in the House of Representatives. "We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all
victims of crimes against humanity," Omar wrote on Twitter earlier this week. "We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S.,
Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban." [Video clip]
Six
possible reasons the Democrats want lockdowns forever. A recent Gallup poll showed that most Americans think
it's time to move on from the pandemic. But not the Democrats. Democrats say by a 71-29% margin that we still
should not "live normal lives", but instead should "try to stay at home." That's despite the fact that the COVID death rate
in America is down nearly 90%, the new cases are down about 65%, over half of Americans have been vaccinated (and over 80% of
the vulnerable ones) by vaccines shown to be 95% effective, and even the redoubtable (or perhaps doubtable) Dr. Fauci
says we can go out now. So what gives? I can suggest at least six answers to that question. [...] [#3] Maybe it's
all tribal. If conservatives think it's time to move on past COVID, then the Dems are obligated to think it's not.
Counter
the Left's Race War with a Class War. Think about it. For the last year, Big Bossy has been telling us
not to mask, to mask, to lockdown, not to lockdown, to wait for vaccination, to get vaccinated or else. Because Science.
For the last year "our teachers" have refused to teach our kids, and now the first thing they want to do is to teach our kids
Critical Race Theory. The Bigs are pompous, incompetent, overpaid bigots. And it's time we told them so.
NYT's
Mara Gay: Seeing Trucks with U.S. Flags 'Disturbing' — Calls for Separating 'Americanness, America from
Whiteness'. New York Times columnist Mara Gay said Tuesday [6/8/2021] on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that she noticed
trucks with American flags and was "disturbed" by what she saw. During a conversation about the January 6 riot at the
U.S. Capitol, Gay said that she also saw trucks with anti-President Joe Biden messages and Trump flags and advised that the
message she got from the American flags was: "This is my country. This is not your country."
Democratic
COVID-19 psychosis: 71% [are] not ready to get back to normal. Despite 63.5% of all American adults having been
vaccinated against the virus, 71% of Democrats want healthy people to stay at home as much as possible, according to a poll
from Gallup. This compares to 87% of Republicans who agree with the recommendation that people should now strive to
lead their normal lives. Forty-three percent of Democrats say their lives are not yet back to normal, as compared to
only 24% of Republican respondents. Apparently, Americans are also not willing to take off their face masks, which
Dr. Anthony Fauci even questioned the effectiveness of early in the pandemic. In a separate Gallup poll released
Monday, 79% of respondents said they have worn their face masks in the past week, despite the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention guidance saying face masks are no longer needed among those fully vaccinated. The survey didn't break
down the respondents between political parties.
Because They
Got Away with Russiagate. The Left's ideology actively promotes and preys upon paranoia, envy, and dependence.
[...] But to believe its calumnies, one must abandon reason. The Left believes there are more than 50 genders, but that
it is you who live in an alternate reality. The Left believes "climate change" will destroy the planet in nine
years unless we adopt socialism, but it's you who live in an alternate reality. The Left adamantly denied and censored
reports COVID-19 may have escaped from a Wuhan laboratory, but it's you who live in an alternate reality. The 2020
election was a perfectly pristine election despite elected Democratic Party officials (with the complicity of corporate
robber barons) exceeding their powers to alter voting laws to tilt the field in the party's favor (they would say
"fortified"), but it's you who live in an alternate reality. The Left claims it loves America so much it wants to
transform everything about it, but it's you who live in an alternate reality.
Exactly what Barack H. Obama would do:
U.S.
Embassy to Holy See flies Pride flag: 'LGBTQI+ rights are human rights'. The U.S. Embassy to the Vatican
displayed a rainbow flag in celebration of Pride Month on Tuesday [6/1/2021]. "The U.S. Embassy to the Holy See
celebrates #PrideMonth with the Pride flag on display during the month of June," the embassy tweeted. "The United
States respects the dignity and equality of LGBTQI+ people. LGBTQI+ rights are human rights." The tweet included
a photo of the rainbow flag hanging outside the embassy, which is currently represented by Chargé d'Affaires Patrick
Connell, ad interim, as President Biden has yet to choose a new ambassador since taking office.
U.S.
Embassy to the Holy See delivers huge slap to American Catholics. I'm not a Catholic, but I know that Catholic
doctrine does not approve of homosexuality — something that is true for all of the traditional Judeo-Christian
faiths. Thankfully, modern religious doctrine does not require persecuting gays but it certainly doesn't include
condoning deviations from the biological and religious norm of monogamous heterosexual relationships. That's why the
decision by the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See to fly a huge Gay Pride flag is a slap in the face to all practitioners of
traditional religion in America.
Leftists
Respond w/Rabid Hate to Justice Breyer's Call to Find "Common Ground". [Justice Stephen] Breyer is saying what
some Senate Democrats think, but don't actually dare to say, which is that if they really want to get things done, they could
tamp down the crazy government takeover stuff like H.R. 1, drop the Jan 6 commission nonsense, and do the usual D.C.
thing. Breyer isn't worried about being primaried by AOC, he's getting as much of that treatment as the current stable
of lefties can manage. But they can still rabidly hate him on social media for dampening the fake narrative created by
their media. The attacks on Breyer, on Manchin and Sinema are part of an invisible civil war within the Democrats as
lefties strive to purge any moderates and build a truly radical movement willing to do anything. Except that voters
already signaled that they don't want the Red Guard running things. And I mean Democrat voters. Bernie Sanders
lost. So did Elizabeth Warren. Democrat voters picked Biden because he promised to be moderate.
Unsurprisingly he lied.
One
year after the death of George Floyd, the psy-ops have triumphed. A lot was made last week about Tuesday, May
25th being the first anniversary of George Floyd's death while in police custody. For me, the most graphic indication
of the impact of Floyd's death and its year-long over-the-top aftermath was provided by the photograph and videos of George
Floyd's relatives last Tuesday outside the White House after they met with President Biden and Vice President Harris.
Right in front of the White House, family members and their attorney had their clenched fists raised and pumping in the air
in a radical black power salute reminiscent of the Marxist Black Panthers of the late 1960s.
Cynthia
Nixon is slammed for suggesting CVS should let people steal from store shelves rather than locking up goods.
Cynthia Nixon has been slammed for suggesting CVS should let people steal from stores rather than locking up goods like
laundry detergent, claiming 'desperate people shouldn't be prosecuted'. The former actress and failed New York
gubernatorial candidate tweeted on Thursday that she had noticed her local CVS in SoHo had 'started' locking up 'basic items
like clothing detergent.' 'As so many families can't make ends meet right now, I can't imagine thinking that the way to
solve the problem of people stealing basic necessities out of desperation is to prosecute them,' Nixon tweeted.
Wayne
Root: The Game-Changer From My Exclusive Interview with President Donald J. Trump. Before I get to the
most important game-changer to come out of that interview, I'd like to get one thing out of the way. Just having this
interview proves how wrong Democrats, liberals and assorted Marxist fools are about America. Most Democrats today are
America-haters and national anthem kneelers. They find only fault with America. They see our history as
negative. They see our country as "racist." They see an America that holds people down. Their glass is always
half empty. My glass is always half full. I love America. I see American exceptionalism. I see a
country that lifts everyone up (at least everyone who wants it). I see a country filled with opportunity and mobility.
I see the greatest country in world history, ever blessed by God.
Corporate
Migration: MSNBC Founder Demands Libs To Move To Red States. The founder of MSNBC appeared on Morning Joe
to propose a new, "radical" plan to turn red states blue by the relocation of left-leaning employees to conservative swing
states by major corporations. [...] In the piece, which was explicitly partisan, Rogers said that "large corporations" ought
to "support the Democratic Party" to ensure that the election fraud "narrative" and consequent voting reforms are shut
down. Stating a desire to bypass state legislatures and Congress, Rogers said he was inspired by the "great
migration[s]" of black Americans from the South to the North starting in 1916. He claimed the moves were occasioned by
economic incentives and the desire to escape "[r]acism," while not mentioning that the racism in the South at the time came
from Democrats. In a post-pandemic world, Rogers claimed, it is easier than ever to have employees work online or "from
home" while being relocated. He advocated giving "incentives to people to move to Florida, to Texas, to North Carolina,
to Georgia, to Arizona.
The Editor says...
The young and mobile workers already have incentives to move (away from Democrat-controlled states) to the states
listed above. If they move, it will likely be to escape the Democrats!
One-third
of Americans [are] unwilling to spend $1 to fight climate change. President Biden wants to spend in excess of $1 trillion
to combat climate change, but more than one-third of Americans are unwilling to chip in a single buck. A poll of 1,200 registered
voters released Tuesday by the Competitive Enterprise Institute found that 35% were unwilling to spend any of their own money to reduce
the impact of climate change, with another 15% saying they would only go as high as $10 per month. Another 6% said they would be
willing to spend between $11 and $20 per month. At the other end of the spectrum were those who said they would part with between
$901 and $1,000 per month on climate — they numbered 1%.
The Editor says...
Global warming / climate change / climate crisis is an issue that no thinking person cares about! Only the Democrats
care about it, and they only care because the talking heads on TV appear to be terrified about out-of-control hot
weather ruining the Earth, beginning in only 20 years! Maybe less! Of course, they were saying the same
thing 20 years ago, nothing happened, but the Democrats are still anxious about it.
Biden
Administration Will Import Metals and Close U.S. Mines To Appease Environmental Wing of Party. Every economic
policy of the JoeBama administration benefits other nations at the cost of the U.S. middle class. If you look at the
Biden policy from a position of America's interests they get everything wrong. However, if you look at Biden economic
policy from a goal to weaken the U.S. and benefit other nations, they get everything right. This is the exact same big
picture dynamic that was present during the Obama era. The Chicago crew of policy advisors simply hate America and
everything she/we stand for. That element of Obama's network hates 'colonialism', despises the industrial revolution,
and abhors free market capitalism. When Obama said "share the wealth" he wasn't speaking exclusively toward domestic
socioeconomic policy; he was also pointing out that America needed to share wealth with other nations. This is the
ideological alignment between Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden.
How
Trump Derangement Syndrome Could Save America. Donald Trump possessed a trait that the ruling elites ignored
until it appeared he could actually win the presidency. Trump could not only relate to and empathize with the unwashed
masses, but he also thought, acted and spoke like many of them. The possibility of having a man they perceived to be
the composite of their stereotypes of average Americans occupying the White House infuriated the elites. Trump, to
them, was a doppelganger for the dimwitted rednecks from the South, the unkempt factory workers from the Midwest, the
ill-educated residents of urban ghettos, the unsophisticated farmers and the vulgar over-the-road truck drivers. Trump
was also an existential threat to the American left and their decades-old blueprint for achieving political hegemony and
transforming the nation into a socialist state. After the decades' long infiltration of the bureaucracy and the
education establishment that the ruling elites imperiously chose to ignore, and eight years of Obama, the left was convinced
their ultimate goal was not only in reach but inevitable.
Critical
Race Theory Backers: 'Our Constitution Should Be Burned'. According to a handful of critical race theory
proponents who want the controversial worldview to be taught in schools and dominate our society, reason must be rejected and
the United States Constitution should be "burned." You can see a clip of their discussion here. In the clip, one
of the CRT supporters calls for both the rejection of reason and the end of the American Constitution. [Video clip]
Cruz
Accuses 'Squad' Members of Acting as 'Press Secretaries for Hamas Terrorists'. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on
Saturday accused the progressive "Squad" of acting as "press secretaries for Hamas terrorists," as he announced that he is
introducing a resolution backing arms sales to Israel. "Rep. [Ilhan] Omar accused Israel of carrying out acts of
terrorism. That is a vicious lie. And to be honest, the Squad is acting more like the press secretaries for Hamas
terrorists than they are like United States congressmen," Cruz said during an appearance on Fox News' "Justice with Judge
Jeanine." The Texas Republican was referring to a group of progressive women with a socialist agenda who became known as
"the Squad," including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), and
Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.). They have supported the "defund the police" movement, "Medicare for All," free college education,
the "Green New Deal," and other socialist policies.
NYT Warns
Dems: BLM Is A Loser. In a major story today the NYT seems to be warning Dems to back off the BLM hoax,
because it's about to cost them dearly. An unspoken subtext — because it cuts too close to the ideological heart
of the left — could be that years of White Privilege and White Supremacist hate narratives from the Left are coming
home to roost. Riots? Sky high murder rates? It seems the NYT hasn't even heard of those aspects of the BLM
phenomenon, but I'm betting everyone else has.
An aspiring
congressional candidate unveils novel campaign slogan: 'Make crime illegal again'. Washington state
congressional candidate Matt Larkin is running on a tough-on-crime platform based on supporting law enforcement in an effort
to "make crime illegal again" amid skyrocketing crime and failed liberal leadership in Seattle. Larkin, a Republican
who lost his bid for Washington state attorney general to the incumbent Democrat in 2020, plans to challenge sitting
Democratic Rep. Kim Schrier for the seat representing the 8th District of Washington. In an exclusive interview
with Fox News, Larkin said that skyrocketing violent crime, rising homelessness and the growing number of assaults on police
officers motivated him to jump into the race.
Poll:
Overwhelming Majority of Voters Still Aligned with Trump Policies. Republican voters believe former President
Donald Trump represents what the Republican party needs to follow on a wide range of issues, according to a recent CBS
News/YouGov poll. For example, 89 percent believe in following Trump's example on economic issues, and 80 percent say
we need to follow Trump's form of leadership. Looking deeper, 88 percent say Trump's stance on immigration issues needs
to be followed, and 73 percent of the respondents said the former president set an example on race issues. However,
when it comes to the left and the media, 69 percent said Trump set the example on how to treat the left, and 77 percent
agreed with the way Trump treated the media.
Race,
Gender, and Climate Change: The Left's Holy Trinity. We're living in a nightmarish combination of Kafka's
The Trial, Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World, all rolled up into one tidy utopian
package. It's mind-numbing to see how many new causes and new victims ooze to the surface almost every day, often
turning reason and science totally upside down. You'd need a photographic memory to keep track, so it's understandable
that many people — even some who consider themselves "woke" — get cancelled by the mob, completely
unaware that they did or said anything wrong. (In fact, they probably didn't.) It will be an almost Sisyphean task
to overcome the damage. But there are signs that a growing number of people from across the political spectrum are
starting to take action. Liberal icons from past decades are standing up against the mob, concerned parents are
confronting woke school boards, and newly inspired activists are standing up to elected officials at the city, county, state,
and federal levels. It's not getting much attention from the mainstream media, but that's to be expected.
History
Suggests that America is Ripe for a Conservative Resurgence. It doesn't have to be a Reagan. It doesn't
have to be Trump. The Democrats are currently failing on a level not seen since the 1970s, and it stands to reason that
Americans will make them pay for that, hopefully beginning in 2022. All we need is someone who can tap into that patriotic
vein of American exceptionalism and the boundless potential of the American individual, because if history is any measure,
the hopefully short-term struggles with a President Biden may yield America's best days yet.
Does
Biden Hate the Police? You Have to Wonder with His Updated Proclamation. Saturday concludes National
Police Week of 2021. While Biden had initially planned to fly the flags at half-mast today — which should be expected of
him — he quietly changed his mind in an update to the original proclamation. As Landon reported, this comes after the
president had already canceled former President Donald Trump's plan for the "National Garden of American Heroes."
Rep.
Cori Bush honors Ferguson activist known for heckling cops with 'pigs' chant. Rep. Cori Bush, Missouri
Democrat, honored in a House floor speech a deceased Palestinian-American activist known for heckling police as "pigs" and
telling them he prayed for their deaths during the 2014 Ferguson protests. Ms. Bush spoke "in memory of our
brother" Bassem Masri, who died in November 2018 at age 31, praising him as "a Ferguson activist who was with us on the front
lines of our uprising for justice following the police murder of Michael Brown Jr." "So today we remember Bassem," she
said in her Thursday speech. "We remember his resistance in the face of militarized police occupation, as a St. Louisan
and a Palestinian. We lost him to a health crisis, but we remember his words today. Until all our children are safe,
we will continue to fight for our rights in Palestine and in Ferguson."

Energy
Secretary Granholm just can't suppress her smiles over the gasoline shortages from the Colonial Pipeline shutdown.
Jennifer Granholm sure doesn't look too upset over the impact of the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline on gasoline and other energy
supplies. [...] Don't you realize it's good for you to learn to get along without fossil fuels? Did you realize that if you
drive an electric car, this wouldn't be a problem? Watch as a reporter's question on whether the shutdown would "speed up"
the transition to green energy yields utterly` inappropriate (and chilling, if you think about it) smiles from Granholm:
[Photo] [Tweet] Sacrifices are going to have to be made, and it's the little people who must make them. Don't expect
Granholm to take the bus to work or swear off private jets. And don't call what's going on a "gasoline shortage"! That's
too reminiscent of Jimmy Carter. Call it a "supply crunch"!
Liberal
Attorney's Odd Notion That the First Amendment May Not Apply to Fox. As we reported earlier, some in liberal
media have been calling for restrictions on the free speech rights of Fox News. These folks are about as far from
"liberal" as you can be in terms of the classical meaning of the word. Journalist Glenn Greenwald lit into GQ's Julia
Ioffe for suggesting that Fox News' First Amendment rights should be curtailed. "I cannot stress enough what a civil
liberties crisis it is that the leading advocates of censorship in the US are liberal journalists: the same people whose duty
is to champion the First Amendment... demand its gutting," Greenwald continued. "And look how much they worship and
revere "authorities."
White
House Occupant Reads Teleprompter, Desperately Attempting to Spin Horrific Policy Outcomes. The White House
occupant appeared today [5/10/2021] to deliver remarks on some key issues that are catastrophic to the long-term goals of the
leftist administration. First, let's be clear; there's no-way the Chicago control agents would allow the installed
occupant to speak on any issue, publicly, that was not a direct and measurable threat to their long-term goals. The
remarks today by Joe Biden are carefully scripted to diffuse political damage that is pending as a direct outcome of the
executed policies. [...] The bottom line is simple: The Democrats can see a political backlash coming that is going to
overwhelm them. No amount of spin or manipulative talking points will change the outcome of the reality people are
feeling. Massive increases in gas prices combined with massive inflation is the exact policy outcome from Jimmy Carter.
Larry
Kudlow: The left is trying to destroy America's institutions. Personally, I think Americans really still
love the U.S. military and our police force no matter what the crazies say. But between critical race theory, cancel
culture, systemic racism, and the end of history, the left is trying to do great damage to our institutions, including, by
the way, intimidating juries when it comes to police trials.
The
Democratic Party finds a new but shaky faith in corporate free speech. Of course, Democrats insist they are not
attacking free speech, just combating "disinformation." After all, they say, private companies have every right to control
speech — unless you are, say, a bakery opposed to preparing a cake for a same-sex wedding, or a company
contributing to political causes. The current mantra defending Facebook's corporate speech rights seems strikingly out
of sync with years of Democrats and political activists demanding the curtailment of such rights. When Masterpiece
Cakeshop in Colorado refused on religious grounds to make a cake for a same-sex wedding, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)
denounced the bakery's claim of free speech: "It was never about a cake — it's about making sure no one has
a license to discriminate against LGBTQ+ Americans." [...] Notably, Warren felt that one company (Masterpiece Cakeshop) can
be forced to speak while another corporation (Facebook) should be able to stop others from speaking. When Facebook
barred Trump, Warren declared: "I'm glad that Donald Trump is not going to be on Facebook. Suits me." House
Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) also celebrated and added: "Facebook must ban him. Which is
to say, forever."
Mickey
Mouse Goes Woke and Customers Don't Like It. The Walt Disney Corporation has ordered all headquarters employees
to attend seminars that inject critical race theory, "systemic racism," "white privilege," and "white fragility" into their
training. The way that City Journal's Christopher Rufo describes what's contained in the whistleblower documents he
received from several Disney employees suggests the training regimen is designed to elicit guilt and shame from white
employees while falsifying history. In truth, it's beyond belief. Disney's theme parks may be known as "The
Happiest Place on Earth," but you have to wonder for how long.
NYC
veterans fume over parade lockout after pot-smokers get permit to march. Mayor de Blasio is refusing to allow a
group of military veterans to march on Staten Island on Memorial Day — after welcoming public pot smokers to puff
their way down Broadway in last week's Cannabis Parade. "It's a slap in the face," Jamie Gonzalez, 57, a Marine
infantryman who saw combat in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm, told The [New York] Post. Gulf War vets like Gonzalez
were set to be given special honors in Staten Island's 102nd annual Memorial Day Parade this year to mark the 1991 conflict's
30th anniversary — until the city pulled the plug.
The
Disney Corp. has taken a deep dive into race hatred. Going back to the late 1920s, every single child raised in
America has intersected in some way with products from Walt Disney: We've watched the movies and TV shows, sung the
songs, worn the clothes, and visited the theme parks. Through it all, Disney stood for wholesome family entertainment.
That is no longer the case. Disney is a hardcore leftists corporation that is pushing its politics on children and training
its employees to be white-hating racists or self-loathing white people. It's time to give up Disney.
New
Jersey Police Officer Fired For Calling BLM Protesters "Terrorists". We have been discussing the termination of
public employees and others for their postings on social media or public displays. The latest case is out of New Jersey
where former Hopewell Township police officer Sara Erwin was fired recent over a June 2020 posting on Facebook in which she
referred to Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters as "terrorists." There remains an uncertain line of what political or social
views are tolerated and what are barred on social media. Indeed, Sgt. Mandy Gray was suspended and demoted for
simply liking the June 2020 post. Gray was the first female officer hired in Hopewell Township and became the first
female sergeant in 2019, according to NJ.com. Erwin insists that she posted the statement after she and her colleagues
were faced with violent protests and family members who were traumatized by images on television of officers being attacked.
Anderson
Cooper Hosts Jeopardy... Sets Record For Lowest Ratings Of Any Guest Host In Show's History. Looks like Sony
Pictures Television won't be asking Anderson Cooper to permanently take up the Jeopardy mantle any time soon. The
silver-haired CNN anchor pulled the least viewers of any guest host since Alex Trebek died of pancreatic cancer last November
at age 80. In fact, Cooper scored the smallest audience of any guest host in the show's history. According to ratings
information obtained by The Wrap, with the 53-year-old Cooper at the helm, the long-running series dropped 7% from the week
before when Green Bay Packers' QB Aaron Rogers stood behind the iconic podium. Even Dr. Oz, who Variety columnist
Daniel D'Addario accused of giving the show a black eye, attracted a bigger audience — putting up a 5.2 share
in his first week to Cooper's 5.1.
We're
Not the Crazy Ones. Since a good pocket definition of "insanity" is "out of touch with reality," each side thus
thinks the other is literally insane. You can see this play out daily on social media, as both sides shake their heads
in stunned disbelief at the other's inexplicable antics, which to them seem "crazy." In this context, that's not merely
a pejorative. Given this state of affairs, how can conservatives be sure we're not the crazy ones? How can we
know our version of reality is correct, reflecting the world as it really is? That's a legitimate question. We
conservatives tend to be naturally reflective and introspective, recognizing a moral and intellectual obligation to be honest
with ourselves and avoid self-delusion. Moreover, about half the country is now arrayed against us, including the
corporate media, Hollywood, the sports world, legions of bureaucrats, and even many of our own (former) friends and family
members. Under such constant bombardment from the left, it's natural to occasionally question ourselves.
Austin
voters approve proposition aimed at reinstating public camping ban. Austin voters have approved Proposition B,
which aims to reinstate the public camping ban that was reversed in July 2019. The results were 57% to 43%, with the majority
voting to approve the proposition. The camping ban makes it illegal to camp in any public area not designated by the
Parks and Recreation Department; to sit or lie on a public sidewalk or sleep outdoors in and near the downtown area and the
area around the University of Texas campus; and to panhandle at specific hours and locations.
Austin,
TX voters overwhelmingly reject propositions pushed by progressives. There are signs that the left has created
a backlash by overplaying its hand. Even in a stronghold of the left like Austin, Texas, where in 2019 homeless people
were allowed to erect their tents on city-owned land, including parks and sidewalks, thanks to the progressive-dominated city
council. All the problems any sane person would predict started happening immediately. And that led to a voter
initiative to reinstate the camping ban, Proposition B.
'If
You Need Wokeness, Just Go Listen To NPR': James Carville Doubles Down On Democrats' Problem. Democratic
strategist James Carville doubled down Saturday on Democrats' wokeness problem that he says could cost the party dearly in
2022 and 2024. Carville joined CNN's Michael Smerconish to discuss the issue, and he argued that the fixation on wokeness
was preventing Democrats from reaching real people and costing them voters. [Video clip]
CNN
host W. Kamau Bell wonders if black people should still believe America is 'worth fighting for'. CNN's "United
Shades of America" host W. Kamau Bell wondered aloud during an interview Friday whether blacks should continue to believe
that the United States is worthy of them shedding their blood to defend. Speaking to SiriusXM host Dean Obeidallah, the
two were discussing recent police-involved shootings of black suspects in the wake of former Minneapolis police officer Derek
Chauvin being found guilty of murdering George Floyd during a trial last month. In his comments, Bell first expressed
sympathy for black families who have lost loved ones but then vented about what he appears to believe is a problem mostly
unique to black suspects and police.
The
Democrats' Increasing Struggle with Wokeness Is Just Another Sign of the Political Realignment. Fox News is
reporting that the Democrats' struggle with wokeness is expanding. It started directly after the 2020 election with
losses in the House that many purple district Democrats attributed to the radical proposals of the Squad, especially around
policing and the summer riots. These more moderate Democrats, responsible for the bulk of the blue wave in 2018, may be
in for a startling comeuppance again in 2022. The radical proposals are now coming from President Biden, and Americans are
taking note. Biden's 100-day approval numbers showed the only majority support his policies have gained are in response
to COVID-19. The administration's scores on race relations, taxes and spending, China policy, and gun policy are all
underwater with Americans.
Working-class
people of color hate the riots the lefty elite keeps cheering. When Americans fight about race or culture, the
fight is almost always really about social class. And that shows up in today's discussions about riots and policing.
The Daily Caller recently sent a video correspondent to Brooklyn Center, Minn., scene of many police-shooting-related riots, and
to Washington, DC, home of America's ruling class, and asked people in both places when and if rioting was justified. The
answers differed sharply. In Brooklyn Center, where the destruction was visible first-hand, respondents (nearly all black
men of various ages) overwhelmingly opposed rioting. An African-American man in an "Army Veteran" hat commented:
"We're human, and we want to be treated with respect," but we also need to show "respect."
Joe
Biden's 100 Days: partisan, negligent, and un-American. Biden has refused to reach across the aisle while
moving forward with more than 60 executive actions, including 40 executive orders — a modern-day record. On
his first day in office, Biden overturned President Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy, which required asylum-seekers to apply
before entering the United States. This single change essentially created America's border crisis, the worst in two
decades. Some Biden actions targeted the life of the unborn, religious freedom, and traditional families, while others
focused on gender identity and transgender military service. The Biden administration was also quick to rejoin the
Paris Agreement, which remains legally nonbinding for the world's leading polluters, such as China and India. Then
there's the issue of gun control, which Biden is weaponizing to bring more legal cases against firearms dealers and
manufacturers, while expanding federal oversight of assault-style firearms. Reframing the right to bear arms as a "gun
violence public health epidemic," the Biden administration is treading all over the Second Amendment, which remains
overwhelmingly popular among American citizens who believe in freedom and liberty.
'Worst
attack on our democracy since the Civil War!' Can Biden really be this dumb? Whoa! Joe Biden thinks that
that relatively mild, wholly unarmed breach of the Capitol was the "worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War!" How
historically ignorant are his speechwriters? They seem to have forgotten about the assassination of Lincoln, WWI, Pearl
Harbor and WWII, the Kennedy assassination, 9/11! Did they really think that line would resonate with anyone with a modicum
of historical knowledge? While the entire speech was banal, this was the most egregious spoken line. That an
American president would utter such an unspeakable lie is the measure of this man. He is a fool. Surely, he knows
better but he and his handlers believe that most Americans are so dumb, so uninformed, they will accept such a lie as true.
That one line tells us everything we need to know about who Biden and the cabal running him are; they absolutely believe the
American people are not only simpleminded but virtual toddlers who will believe anything they say.
Poll:
Democrat-Led Cancel Culture Is A Big Turnoff For Voters In New Jersey, Virginia. Swing voters in New Jersey and
Virginia are fed up with Democrats pushing cancel culture, a new poll from the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC)
suggests. The survey of 656 "high propensity persuadable voters" located in two districts in New Jersey and Virginia
found that after RSLC digital advertisements targeted Democrats for promoting cancel culture, citizens were more likely to
vote for Republican candidates.
The
Democratic Party is Now America's Extremist Party. The Democratic Party is now an extremist organ waging a
fierce cold civil war to seize power and eviscerate America as founded and upend and erase its exceptional culture. The
party is saturated with Marxist sensibilities, ideas, and motivations. Marxism is alien and hostile. It's
fundamentally anti-American. Its worldview, strategies, and tactics are furnished in an endless stream by radical
leftist academics, who have dominated our colleges and universities for decades now. But the Democrats' destination
isn't necessarily a Marxist state, not in its purest form. It could be corporatism or fascism or variations.
Let's hope we thwart Democrats' aspirations so we never know. As of the 2020 elections, Democrats have abandoned the
middle ground. They've been moving steadily left throughout the 2000s. The Republican and Democrat parties
traditionally sought to govern from the middle, a little right or a little left. But the middle has ceased to serve the
Democrats' aims.
Democrats
Blaming Everyone but Themselves. [Scroll down] The current example is the demonization of law enforcement
along with calls for police departments to be abolished, as the harpies of "The Squad" demanded in response to the recent
death of Daunte Wright in Minnesota. But police defunding only affects you and me. While the Squad points a
finger at us, their three fingers are pointing back at themselves, to the tune of the $32,000 they spent on private security
for themselves while championing defunding the police. Democrats tell us that law enforcement is evil, yet earlier this
year Congress surrounded itself with a fortress of fences and troops. We should be on our own in a cop-less world, the
message goes, but not elected officials, confiscating our money via taxes to keep themselves safe.
Leo
Terrell: The far-left 'has declared war on white Americans and police officers'. Democrats appeared to
become more radical in their intolerance campaign against white people and cops this week. At least two prominent black
leaders spoke out about the Democrats' apparent disdain for white people and cops, likely to the dismay of Rep. Maxine
Waters, who recently urged protesters to "get more confrontational." The intolerance for white people and cops in general
seems to have been a growing trend over the past year but Democrats really showed their true colors by condemning a police
officer this week who many argue made the right move as he was forced to make a split-second decision to shoot a
knife-wielding teenage girl to prevent her from stabbing another girl to death in Columbus, Ohio.
How do Democrats ever get elected to
national office? Cheating now leaps to mind, but, other than that? Their policies fly in the face of the beliefs and values of a distinct
and measurable majority of Americans. But they don't even care about the poll numbers.
• Most Americans are adamantly against defunding the police, African Americans included. Most Americans are against Democrat plans to pack the Supreme Court.
• Most Americans are against leaving their border(s) open and rewarding those who choose to come here illegally by giving them free goods and services.
• Most Americans are against the concept and practice of unlimited immigration.
• At least a slight majority of Americans realize that abolishing the oil, gas, and coal industries and enacting the Green New Deal will destroy their nation's economy and dramatically worsen their lives — and those of their descendants. And:
• Most Americans do not believe man-caused global warming/climate change is an existential threat to their country or the planet as a whole.
• The large majority of Americans are against late-term and "after-birth" abortions.
Study:
Young White Liberals More Likely to Have Mental Health Problems. Evie magazine unpacked analysis of a Pew
Research Center survey published last year, and subsequently arrived at the compelling possibility that science is telling us
left-wing ideology and mental illness are correlated. Andrew Stiles at the Washington Free Beacon drew attention Monday
[4/19/2021] to the Evie magazine piece, published last week, showing the March 2020 Pew Research data revealed white liberals
are more likely than other ideological/racial groups to have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder.
The
Democrats' Divide and Conquer Policy is on Steroids. Evidence of a "cold" American civil war has been playing
out in the streets of America for the last year and the reality is it's been percolating for decades. From the 1999 WTO
protests to the hordes calling George Bush a Nazi to Occupy Wall Street, the hyperbole and violence have been ratcheting up
for years. The catalyst that put us on the path to today was Barack Obama's nomination. Not because of Obama
himself, but rather because of the cudgel Democrats crafted from his race. Anyone who opposed Obama's policies was
racist. Suddenly, conservatives who reiterated policies they'd supported for decades were racists as was anyone who
opposed Democrat policies. But race was only the beginning. If you opposed gay marriage: Homophobic.
Opposed women in combat: Sexist. Supported the police: Fascist. Such was the beginning of the journey
that brings us to America circa 2021.
Joe Biden's flavors
of the weak. As Joe Biden nears the end of his first 100 days, we can attest to the truth of Yogi Berra's dictum
that "you can learn a lot by watching." Americans have watched and learned that No. 46 set out to be the polar
opposite of No. 45, and is succeeding wildly. From border enforcement to Iran to taxes and so much more, Biden is
defining himself as the ultimate NeverTrumper. If Trump was for it, Biden is against it. Everything else is
detail. Not surprisingly, the approach is proving to be popular with his own party and the left writ large. But
there are exceptions, with a recent poll showing the president's handling of the border crisis he created winning approval
from just 29 percent of the country. Ouch.
Poll:
Most Americans Oppose Woke Corporations. An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released Thursday [4/15/2021] found
that a majority of Americans oppose woke corporations influencing everyday life. The poll asked registered voters if
they support or oppose American companies using their public role, position, or events to influence political, cultural, or
social change. The findings show that over half (58 percent) oppose any type of corporation using its power to
influence any type of political, cultural, or social change across the country. They also show that 35 percent did
support the efforts by woke corporations, while seven percent were unsure how to answer.
Coca-Cola
says it's 'time to find common ground' on voting measures after pressure from the Right. Coca-Cola, whose CEO
denounced the Georgia voting bill, is now striking a conciliatory tone after coming under pressure from conservatives.
The soda giant, which is based in Atlanta, was absent from a list of more than 500 corporations and individuals that signed a
statement condemning any election legislation that would "restrict" voters from having "an equal and fair opportunity to cast
a ballot." The missive was placed as a two-page Wednesday [4/14/2021] ad in the New York Times and Washington
Post, with the effort being organized by the Black Economic Alliance. Coca-Cola said in a statement to the
Washington Examiner on Wednesday that the company "had not seen the letter" initiated by the alliance but is
"certainly open to hearing their perspective." It said it has supported the right to vote and that it will assess how to
support voting rights.
The strange death of
the Democrats. The Democratic party is dying. That may be hard to believe since Democrats control both
houses of Congress and won the last presidential election with a record 81 million votes. But the exiguous margins of
their hold on the House and Senate, with fewer than 51 percent of the seats in either chamber, tell another story, as does
the desperation of their struggle to abolish the filibuster and federalize election law. Those policy aims are of a
piece with dreams of packing the Supreme Court — and packing the Senate too, by admitting tiny Democratic bastions
as new states. The left wing of the party even assails the constitutional principle behind the Senate itself, the idea
of equal representation of the states. Simply put, Democrats know they can no longer win by the old agreed-upon
rules, constitutional or otherwise.
The Editor says...
Exactly. And "the old agreed-upon rules" include: Don't steal the election with counterfeit votes and rigged
voting machines, Don't rely on the news media to spread propaganda and suppress the truth, Don't
flood the country will illegal aliens Don't just print money and pass it around to everybody, and Don't
send the country into a panic over a virus that's not extraordinarily dangerous.
Disney
workers now able to show off tattoos, wear gender-neutral costumes. Disney recently updated its dress code for
employees at its theme park, including gender-inclusive hairstyles and visible tattoos. In a blog post, Chairman of
Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products Josh D'Amaro said the company is making changes and "creating a place where everyone
is welcome. D'Amaro announced that Disney made the changes to remain relevant in today's workplace and create a culture
of belonging. [...] The new policy allows for gender-inclusive hairstyles, jewelry, differing nail styles, varying costume
choices, and appropriate visible tattoos.
The Editor says...
You go right ahead and pay $235 (and up) to get into the Disney amusement parks, so you can be greeted by a variety of ghastly tattoos and
some confused young man who thinks he's Cinderella. Is that supposed to be wholesome family entertainment?
Disney
Adds New Core Value: Wokeism. On Tuesday, April 13, Disney Chairman Josh D'Amaro posted a blog on the
Disney Parks website titled "A Place Where Everyone is Welcome," because apparently they weren't very welcoming before,
despite having Gay Days for 30 years. Right off the bat, you should have got the hint to grab a barf bucket for the
spiel about "taking action to create meaningful change." The announcement included a video and narrative to explain the new
addition to the longstanding tradition of The Four Keys: Inclusion. The first four keys in which Disney has been
built upon for more than 65 years are safety, courtesy, show and efficiency. But, to no one's surprise, after a
worldwide meeting with woke cast members and more than 100 total ideas brought forward for improvement, the honor of the
fifth key was given to inclusion. You still holding onto that barf bucket? The emphasis on inclusion supposedly
provides for "more representation and accountability" and instills more inclusive attractions, supplier diversity, adaptive
costumes and inclusive products. D'Amaro also encouraged showing off tattoos to "remain relevant in today's workplace,
but also enable our cast members to better express their cultures and individuality at work."
9
of Hollywood's Biggest Acts of Hypocrisy: China, #MeToo, Guns, Climate Change, and More. When they're not
making movies, TV shows, or albums, left-wing Hollywood elites can be found lecturing average Americans on how to live their
lives. Gun control is imperative, lockdowns are necessary, and burning fossil fuels is wrong. Except when
they do it, of course. Hollywood hypocrisy comes in many flavors, and the varieties keep growing as more
celebrities attempt to expand their social media reach (and their box-office bankability) through progressive activism.
Last movie was a flop? Your Netflix sitcom got canceled after one season? Career redemption can be yours if you
worship at the altar of woke politics.
Who are the racists?
Who, again, is a racist? We hear about racists a lot these days. Racists are supposedly all over. Might
they be people like Bill Gates who believe that requiring the right answer and showing your work in math are an example of
white supremacy and racism? Or the majority of people who believe that all races are capable of getting the right
answer and showing their work, and that in order to succeed, they must learn that the correct answer is the only right
answer? Is it they? Or is it the party that continually claims that it is racist to require an ID to vote?
Or the other party that knows that every person old enough to vote is capable of getting a photo ID and must have one in
order to follow all the rules that the government and businesses require? The party that is willing to destroy minority
businesses in Georgia and elsewhere with lies about voting laws? Or the party that wants all businesses to succeed and
believes that all people who are legally eligible have a right to vote? The party that has continued to keep businesses
and schools closed, that is especially harmful to the poor, minorities, and women? Or the party that strives to get
them open as fast as they can?
Biden's Chamber
of Confected Hatreds. It is all becoming absurd. The group photograph of the Biden cabinet has 17 people
sitting masked and socially distant despite the fact that they have all been vaccinated. The idea that they might
transmit or be afflicted by the coronavirus is simply goofy. The cover of Vogue magazine is featuring a
seriously overweight African American woman. This is not Vogue and what is she doing there? Police invade
churches to remove socially distant unmasked mothers of newborn children. CBS simply lies about Florida governor Ron
DeSantis, is exposed, and then repeats the story. A nerve-racking and obnoxious black-masked woman calls for "respect"
and "dignity" in a grating voice from U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) — by which she means that he must not
attempt to photograph from his cell phone desperately overcrowded conditions in holding facilities for unaccompanied minors
illegally crossing the southern border.

Culture and Identity Politics are the Road to a One-Party State. America is at war. This time the enemy
isn't on some distant battlefield or hiding in a barren cave thousands of miles away. Instead, the enemy is not only
here, but it's ruling over us. That's the powerful message of David Horowitz's latest book, The Enemy Within:
How a Totalitarian Movement is Destroying America. This isn't just a warning, it's the reality around us.
"Americans are more divided today than at any time since the Civil War," Horowitz writes. "In the course of the
anti-Trump wars, we have become two nations with little shared ground on the core issues that previously defined us."
And it's the Left that brought us to this state, not just in the last five years, but going all the way back to the fundamental
strategy of its divisive politics.
Globalist
dogma means the end of America, and for many that's the goal. John Fonte has written an excellent article
called "End Nationalism, End America." For many on the left, that's the point. They may dislike nationalism, but what
they really can't stand is America. Their target isn't the nation state; it's our nation state. That's why they
want to cede as much of our sovereignty as they can get away with to international bodies. [...] Left-liberals don't just
dislike American culture, people, institutions, and mores. They dislike our Constitution. [...] Ceding sovereignty to
international bodies is a way to negate the Constitution.
We Have Met the
Enemy. The strange figures known as Wokists currently destroying America aren't just reprises of earlier
enemies. They represent something rather new. The political cult of Wokism combines the worst aspects of every
political cult in history. Whether they realize it or not, Wokists themselves combine the lunatic loyalty of the Manson
family with the hollow pseudo-joy of Jonestown residents, the racism of National Socialists, the inhumanity of Mao Tse-Tung,
the bratty tantrums of Veruca Salt, the nihilism of Bakunin-style anarchists, the totalitarianism of Stalin's Soviet Union,
the child torture and sacrifice of the Mayans, the derangement of Heaven's Gate followers, the sadistic violence of the
Jacobins, and the ruthless control-freakism of the current Chinese Communist Party. Now add to that noxious syncretic
blend the Wokist use of powerful communication technologies to shape narratives and meta-narratives, destroy opponents, and
recruit new converts, and you've got yourself a thing.
Biden
White House Easter remarks included zero mentions of Jesus. President Biden, a Roman Catholic, did not mention
Jesus or Christ a single time in his Easter remarks on Monday [4/5/2021]. The nation celebrated Easter Sunday this past
weekend, a time around America where Christians — such as Biden — celebrate the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead. Traditionally, the president gives an Easter address on that Sunday to commemorate the holiday
and Jesus. Biden's most recent predecessors, former President Barack Obama and former President Donald Trump, had each
mentioned Jesus Christ in their messages. Biden, however, broke this streak on Sunday in his remarks from the White
House Blue Room balcony.
Mayor
of North Las Vegas says he is switching allegiance to the Republicans as the Democrats have become 'card-carrying socialists'
and 'elitists'. The mayor of North Las Vegas has ditched the Democratic Party, accusing them of deserting
work-class Americans and becoming the party of the 'elitists'. John Lee, 65, who has been a Democrat since his first
state election victory in 1994, said he was switching allegiance to the Republican Party as he can no longer abide the
direction his former party is going. Lee told Fox & Friends on Tuesday morning [4/6/2021] that the Nevada Democratic
leadership was now dominated by 'card-carrying' socialists.
Failed
Oregon Governor [...] Sympathizes With Antifa Murderer While Condemning Trump Federal Officers. Appearing on
Democracy Now with the haggard old hippy woman, Oregon governor Kate Brown (D) went on a bizarre tangent where she appears to
side with the violent rioters who ravaged Portland for several months straight last year. Brown shifted the blame to
Trump, vowed to use local law enforcement to "eradicate" Trump "forces," and seemingly sympathizes with Michael Reinoehl, the
antifa terrorist who murdered a Trump supporter in downtown Portland who later died in a shootout with the feds.
Joe Biden says, "getting vaccinated is a moral obligation." It won't be long until he leaves out "moral"?
Donald
Trump and Joe Biden's Easter Messages Reveal Everything You Need to Know About the Presidents. Donald Trump and
Joe Biden gave messages to Americans on Easter, the Christian religious holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus
Christ. The 45th President of the United States gave the salutation "Happy Easter" and then decried that he lost the
U.S. election. [...] Joe Biden, on the other hand, delivered an Easter Message that preached about the coronavirus, mentioning it
7 times, but failed to mention Jesus Christ even once. "We share the sentiments of Pope Francis who said that getting
vaccinated is a moral obligation, one that can save your life and the lives of others," Biden said.
DNC
chair says party [has been damaged] by movements like defund the police. The head of the U.S. Democratic
National Committee has admitted the party's brand has suffered 'damage', and argued that Democrats could be more attractive
to rural voters with better messaging. 'I think what we have to do as a party is battle the damage to the Democratic
brand,' DNC chair Jamie Harrison, who ran against Senator Lindsey Graham in South Carolina last year, said on Daily Beast's
New Abnormal podcast. 'I experienced it on my own race, Lindsey and his crew of dark money effectively labeled me as
somebody who believed in defunding the police,' he continued.
Questions
The Media Should Ask President Biden About His Call For Economic Sanctions On Georgia. Given that the United
States President has, for the first time in American history, called for an economic boycott and economic sanctions of a
member state over dutifully and legally passed legislation, a reader passed along questions he'd like to see the White House
press ask of the administration they claim to cover. The questions refer to President Joe Biden's call for an economic
boycott of Georgia over its decision to pass SB202, which will put into place mild election integrity reforms.
Q: Seeing that over the past year, almost 50 percent of small, black-owned business in America have closed for good
and seeing how African Americans make up 55 percent of Atlanta, 54 percent of Savannah, and 55 percent of Augusta (where
The Masters is played), does President Biden still think calling for an economic boycott and punishment by private companies on
all Georgia citizens is a good idea? And will he now call for boycotts of The Masters, the Atlanta Braves, the Atlanta
Falcons, and the Atlanta Hawks along with UGA & GA Tech football? Why or why not?
The Editor says...
Hmmm... "The Masters." An event that happens every year in Georgia.
Is that the next entity to be called racist, after being innocuous for decades?
The
Democrat war against the white middle class. The left in this country is engaged in an all-out assault on
white, middle-class America. Don't take my word for it. Saul Alinsky, the official Marxist Democrat party
tactician, wrote in Rules for Radicals that "organization for action will now and in the decade ahead center upon
America's white middle class. That is where the power is. When more than three-fourths of our people from both
the point of view of economics and self-identification are middle class, it is obvious that their action or inaction will
determine the direction of change. Large parts of the middle class, the 'silent majority,' must be activated."
Do you know any Biden voter who thought they were voting for this?
Joe
Biden Displays Transgender Flags at the White House to Celebrate 'Day of Visibility'. President Joe Biden will
display transgender flags at the White House on Wednesday [3/31/2021] to celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility, according
to an official. White House Director of Political Strategy and Outreach Emmy Ruiz announced Biden would display the
pastel pink and blue and transgender flag at the White House. [...] Biden also released a statement Wednesday to celebrate
Transgender Day of Visibility. "Transgender Day of Visibility recognizes the generations of struggle, activism, and
courage that have brought our country closer to full equality for transgender and gender non-binary people in the United
States and around the world," Biden's statement read.
Democrats
Had Sharpest Decline in Church Membership. In 2019, I noted that a majority of white Democrats had become
non-Christian. [...] That was a Pew survey. The Gallup survey for church membership now is even worse recording the
sharpest drop in membership among Democrats. 20 years ago, 71% of Democrats were members of a church. A decade
later, in the Obama years, it fell to 60% and is now down to 46%. That's the sharpest drop of any demographic group and a
quite striking one. While religious affiliation has dropped across the board, the collapse among Democrats is striking.
The Editor says...
What kind of a church would a lying earth-worshipping baby-killing socialist election-stealing gay-marriage Democrat attend anyway? It
would have to be a place where they'll tell you everything you want to hear and nothing that you don't want to hear. Several come to mind
immediately.
Bottom
Line: Democrats are Afraid of You. I'm having a problem deciding whether the Biden administration is
stupid or evil or just flat-out afraid of us Commoners. And then I realized that it's all three. Here's
why. Our liberal friends never imagined that a Trump could happen. Nothing in their world prepared them for
him. So what happens when you are confronted by something completely unexpected? You stop dead in your tracks.
[...] Should Dems ignore Trump as a flash in the pan? Should they figure he represented a few dumb deplorables?
Or should they treat him as an existential danger? We know what happened. The Dems chose Door Number Three and
embarked on a mission to destroy Trump and everything he represented.
Communist
Party USA Affirms Loyalty to Beijing. It's the 1930s all over again. American communists are now treating
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) with the same slavish reverence once reserved for Stalin and the mighty Communist Party of
the Soviet Union (CPSU). The Communist Party USA (CPUSA), once shamelessly subservient to the CPSU, has now completely
transferred its loyalties to the CCP. On March 10, a high-level delegation from the CPUSA met with senior CCP officials
in Beijing. According to an article on the CPUSA website, the International Department of the CPUSA and the International
Commission of the Central Committee of the CCP "held a bilateral meeting to celebrate and discuss the 100th anniversary" of
the CCP. Los Angeles-based Rossana Cambron, national co-chair of the CPUSA, and Houston, Texas, comrade Alvaro Rodriguez,
the party's International Secretary, led the U.S. delegation.
The
Democrat Party Has Declared War on America. The American Left and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Democrat
party, has declared war on America by openly and ruthlessly attacking American society, its norms and foundational
principles. While they previously had been somewhat restrained in their efforts to transform the nation, any pretense
of subtlety has now been abandoned. Consequently, their asinine and self-indulgent theories and totalitarian tactics
are on display for all to see. Yet this coterie of the credulous does not grasp the irrational absurdity of many of
their cultural and societal pronouncements. Now that they control Congress and have a questionably elected and addled
dissembler in the White House, these jaw-dropping policies are center stage. It is little wonder that an increasingly
flabbergasted citizenry, as well as many nations throughout the world, are beginning to question what sort of future is in
store for the United States.
The
American Police State Is Now Forming. The image of the new wall or fence with razor wire on top that now
surrounds the Capitol has been floating across the screen of my mind since it was erected. Was it erected merely as a
response to the horrible events of Jan. 6, and the fear of a right-wing uprising against the anti-Trump Democrats?
Recently, this writer had a breakthrough and understood that this wall is actually an austere reminder that we have entered
into a new phase of American history: the American police state. The bombast against Trump-supporters now
nicknamed "domestic terrorists"; the marching of Guam national Guardsmen to the office of Marjory Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) as a
demonstration of the legitimacy of Guam as a U.S. entity; the rapid overturning of and de-legitimizing of all Trump policies
both domestic and foreign; the emplacement of a transsexual as a higher up in the Health and Human Services Department; the
encouragement of a "re-imagining" of police work in our major cities; the non-enforcement of federal laws pertaining to
border security and legal entry into the USA; and the racial messages about statues, American history, the teaching of
American history, and the need to overturn American society and its traditions are not merely challenges and upheavals to be
dealt with.
Why The Oligarchs
Fear Christianity. Gab has been banned from three different banks over the course of the past three
weeks. We operate a legal US business. [...] Gab is the test case for the oligarchs, they will soon start attacking
churches and Christian organizations in the same way that Gab has been persecuted for nearly five years now. Perhaps
this secession will become geographic next. Time will tell, but personally I'm mentally prepared for it. We
didn't choose this, the psychopathic oligarchs in the American regime did. We will gladly embrace it and no longer
associate with wickedness and their death cult of communism and critical theory. They can keep their drag queen story
hours, 87 genders, degeneracy, moral depravity, and endless chaos. We choose our humanity, freedom, order, and
Jesus. This is, of course, exactly why those in power are attacking Gab. Tens of millions of Christians are using
Gab's services every month to unite and access an uncensored free flow of information that can't be found anywhere else on
the internet.
The Culture
Curators Want To Think For You. Many intellectuals in the United States frequently toss around the word
"dictatorship" or "dictator" about political parties they don't like, and with such abandon, it is now deemed normal in some
circles to use the terms without irony, primarily when referring to the Republican Party. In their zeal to dismantle
conservatism, they miss the true dictator in our country. They are our cultural curators. The corporations, much
of the media, the entertainment industry, major league sports organizations, academia and Silicon Valley all demand that we
fall in line with how they think. They want to approve of how we speak, what books we read, what movies we watch, what
words we use, who we support politically, how we educate our children and what parts of history are acceptable to
teach. Many of these entities have gone from trying to appeal to a wide range of customers based on the products they
sell or services they offer to social justice organizations, far removed from their core missions and their consumers.
Hoping
to deny DeSantis re-election — and end his presidential hopes — Democrats launch operation 'Ron Be
Gone'. Democrats announced formation of "Ron Be Gone" on Monday [3/15/2021], a fundraising, advertising and
organizing vehicle aimed at preventing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis from winning re-election next year. A bonus, if
they contribute to defeating DeSantis, would be imploding his prospects as a 2024 Republican presidential candidate.
Even the name, which sounds like a pest removal product, shows the depth of Democratic animosity toward the Republican governor.
It's
time for Red States to start nullifying federal law. Here are some of the issues that could be affected by the
concept of nullification: [...] [#4] Nullify the anti-police agenda. During the Obama regime, his DoJ
hamstrung city police departments all over the country with phony "civil rights" investigations, resulting in cities hesitant
to arrest or prosecute violent thugs. With anti-police activists surrounding Biden, his administration will do the
same, thereby empowering leftist rioters in our cities. The founders never gave the federal government a law
enforcement role as they thought this responsibility best be carried out by local police and sheriff departments.
States should resist and ignore all federal anti-police regulations and DoJ harassment of local police departments.
New
NJ law says cops can't notify parents when minor is caught with marijuana or alcohol in first offense.
Democrats are unyielding in their quest for a permissive society where there is little if any personal responsibility.
Nowhere is this more apparent than their preferred policies on the killing of unborn babies, and amid the current marijuana
craze liberal politicians are borrowing from that campaign to mainstream weed. Just as Democrats pursued laws allowing
minors to have an abortion without telling their parents, New Jersey has legalized the consumption of marijuana, in all its
forms, on private property and enacted a law restricting law enforcement from notifying the parents of minors who are caught
with possession of weed or alcohol. The most remarkable thing here being, perhaps, that tens of millions of Americans
continue to support the party that pushes these destructive law
When
a Handful of Crises Aren't Enough. The Biden administration has enjoyed no honeymoon. The cabal that
addled Joe Biden fronts really didn't want one. Bridge-building, comity, and compromise are passé. What Ron
Klain, Susan Rice, and a knot of plutocrats and "progressives" who pull Joe's strings want are crises. Manufactured
crises are just as good as the real deals. They're opportunities not to be wasted.
The Editor says...
If the "Biden administration has enjoyed no honeymoon," it is entirely his fault. The flurry of executive orders he signed on
his first day in office effectively terminated any smooth transition he might have expected.
To
defeat woke tyrants, the rest of us must treat them like the monsters they are. Most Americans hate woke
politics — and most minorities don't share "woke" priorities. Indeed, according to pollster David Shor, woke
excesses are causing black voters to flee the Democratic Party. Despite endless charges of "racism," former President
Donald Trump took the biggest share of minority voters of any Republican in my lifetime. [...] Only a tiny minority of
consumers care about Mr. Potato Head's toxic masculinity, about "Aunt Jemima" as a brand or about the #MeToo aggressions
of Pepé Le Pew. Yet corporations, universities and governments rush to placate that minuscule slice of the
population, trashing large chunks of our culture in the process. It's happening not because anybody voted for it, but
because a small but determined and vicious minority is bullying people to go along, relying on cowardice and groupthink to
achieve ends that could never happen via majority vote: How do you think Dr. Seuss would have done in a referendum?
Masks
Are Just Part of the Socialists' Uniform. In poll after poll, Americans have made it clear that they strongly
oppose mass illegal immigration. Ignoring their wishes, the Biden administration has set into place policies that have
created a border crisis with no end in sight. In poll after poll, Americans have made it clear that jobs and the
economy are more important than recklessly combatting a global temperature change of a few hundredths of a degree over the
next century in the name of "climate justice." Ignoring their assessment, the Biden administration has killed off oil and
gas jobs, increased the cost of gasoline at the pump, and handcuffed America's energy independence in the name of green
dreams — strengthening the economies of Russia, China, and Iran while impoverishing millions of Americans.
In poll after poll, Americans have made it clear that they prefer increasing manufacturing and economic diversification at
home to depending upon the supply chains and resources of an adversarial China. Instead, the Biden administration has
actively discarded the "America First" economic policies of President Trump and reoriented America back toward the globalist
initiatives of the last half-century that benefit transnational banks and Wall Street traders while crippling Main Street

Democratic Party Staff Quits En Masse after Socialists Win Leadership Roles. Every Nevada Democratic Party
staff member quit after Democratic socialists won party leadership roles, according to a new report. Alana Mounce, the
party's executive director, reportedly notified the newly elected party chair, Judith Whitmer, that she and other staff
members were resigning, according to The Intercept. The party's operations director, research director,
communications director and finance director all resigned after the left-wing candidates of the "NV Dems Progressive Slate,"
which was run by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and the Left Caucus, beat out the Democratic Party's "Progressive
Unity Slate" on Saturday [3/6/2021].
How
the Nevada Democrat Socialists Ousted the Traditional Democrat Party and Why You Should Pay Attention. My
colleague Jeff Charles wrote a great article on how the Nevada Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) have taken over the
Democrat Party in the state, and why the traditional leadership chose to resign. [...] How did they do it? For
starters, Nevada is a Union-heavy state. With Las Vegas as the tip of the spear, the AFL-CIO with its dominant
membership overshadows the majority of the Western territory. Unions have always been socialist in their orientation
(the collective above the individual), but with the COVID pandemic, "Future of Work" initiatives which have infected every
corporate sector and government body, and collaboration with Labor organizations internationally, the DSA's agenda has
shifted beyond pro-worker organization to all aspects of political power and shaping people's lives. Be warned.
As we learned in California with the battles with the Unions over AB5 and Prop 22, the DSA has no interest in
co-existence. They will do whatever it takes to keep and secure power and force behind their agendas. The primary
one being turning America into a socialist country.
Saying 'No'
to the Cancel Culture. On the left, the tumbrels are rolling again, delivering former icons like
Dr. Seuss, Pepe Le Pew, and other enemies of the people to the cultural guillotines for immediate beheading. Their
crimes: their decades-old sensibilities are out of touch with those of the seething, humorless and frankly not very bright
scolds who currently inhabit the fever swamps of Twitter, Facebook, and the editorial pages of the New York Times. Go
ahead, laugh; what could be more ridiculous than discerning "rape culture" in the broadly drawn behavior of a French striped
skunk who's been looking for love in all the wrong places since 1945? But ham-handed attempts at seduction are no longer
funny to the Madame Defarges of the social-justice warrior brigades, and so stinky little Pepe must be banished from Looney
Tunes land.
Dr.
Seuss shows leftists again blurring fantasy and reality. What makes it simultaneously amusing and disturbing is
that it treats Seuss's nonsensical worlds as real and extrapolates racial messages from them. Here's the short version
of the left's latest attempt to cancel all cultural touchpoints that don't mesh with Marx: Dr. Seuss's works ended
up in the crosshairs when a Virginia school district discovered that Learning for Justice, an education (i.e., indoctrination")
site affiliated with the Southern Poverty Law Center, had declared in 2019 that Dr. Seuss's works are racist. Once the
school's story hit the news, the pile-on began, with every leftist rushing to condemn Seuss for making his Asian, Inuit, and
African humanoid characters every bit as weird, misshapen, and ugly as his (presumably) white American humanoid characters.
Six Seuss works were pulled from Amazon and eBay because of their racial horrors and Biden ignored Seuss entirely on Read Across
America Day, which is held annually on Dr. Seuss's birthday.
Poll:
65% of Fans Think Disney Has Lunged Too Far Into Wokeness. Considering a Disney+ membership? You may want
to hold off. The Daily Wire released the results of an exclusive poll conducted by Neil Newhouse of Public Opinion
Strategies which found that 65% of Americans "believe that companies like Disney have taken political correctness too far."
Conducted between Feb 26 and March 3, the poll of 1,098 participants, including Republicans, Democrats, and Independents,
set the bottom line: "Corporate America's lunge into 'wokeness' and cancel culture might hit a bump in the road given public
reaction to Disney's recent actions," concluded Newhouse. Walt is probably rolling over in his grave. The polling group
also asked about Disney's cancel culture stab at Gina Carano. As a reminder, Carano formerly starred in Disney's The
Mandalorian but was axed back in February due to her "abhorrent" social media posts. As per usual, most lefties supported
Disney's decision to cancel Carano but conservatives saw right through the smoke and mirrors.
Use
These 32 Questions to Determine Whether Someone Is a Liberal or a Leftist. The great tragedy of our time is
that liberals vote left. Virtually every value liberals have held for a century is now held by conservatives and
scorned by leftists. Therefore, America, in serious jeopardy of being lost, will be saved when people convince the
liberals in their life that the left, not the conservative, is their enemy. This process begins by establishing whether
a friend or relative is a liberal or a leftist. If it turns out that he or she is a liberal, it is worth engaging in
respectful dialogue on the issues of the day. If the friend or relative is a leftist, you can probably only talk about
innocuous subjects such as the weather (though not about global warming) or sports (though not about players taking a knee
during the national anthem). If you talk about the great issues of the day with a left-wing friend or relative, that
could be the last time you talk to each other. He or she is likely to unfriend you not only on social media but also in
life. Leftists generally do not dialogue; they dismiss.
Why Deadnaming
Matters. Richard Levine was born in 1957 in Wakefield, Massachusetts, an affluent suburb 20 minutes north of
Boston. He went to Hebrew school and had a bar mitzvah before heading to the very tony (very expensive) all-boys
Belmont Hill School, where he played as a linebacker on the football team. From there he went to Harvard undergrad
before heading south for med school at Tulane. While still in school, he married classmate Martha Peaslee; the couple
would go on to have two children, one boy and one girl. Richard's career got off to a running start with a residency
and fellowship at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan. From there he moved to Penn State Hershey Medical Center,
where he established himself firmly as a leader in his field, building both an adolescent medicine division and an eating
disorders clinic. But even with a loving family and a meaningful career, something was amiss in Richard Levine's
world. Eight years after his move to Pennsylvania, the doctor began to see a therapist. Another eight years after
that, he publicly announced his decision to transition to presenting as a woman. Now, a full decade after that
announcement, Richard — now Rachel — stands as Joe Biden's nominee for the United States' Assistant
Secretary for Health.
The
Left's Campaign Against Self-Defense. Last week, federal prosecutors offered an undisclosed plea deal to two
lawyers who firebombed an NYPD van and drove around passing out Molotov cocktails to protesters at a violent May 2020 Black
Lives Matter (BLM) protest in Brooklyn. [...] In the name of "social justice," politicians and the judiciary in many cities
and states are bestowing moral rights on violent left-wing and anarchist groups. District attorney Mike Schmidt, for
instance, announced in August that he won't prosecute most of the 550 people arrested during the 75 days of mayhem in
Portland last spring. He said the leniency was an attempt to "create a forum" to express "collective grief, anger, and
frustration" at the death of George Floyd and the history of abuses endured by people of color. Worse, he said using
the criminal justice system against them would "undermine public safety" for those "demanding to be heard." Schmidt, his
Democrat cohort, and leftist sympathizers in journalism, law, and academia willfully ignore the fact that such misplaced
clemency condones and encourages militant groups' violence, their disrespect for the law, and their anti-American agenda.
Top Pollster Says
Pelosi, Dems' Every Move Makes Trump Even More Popular. While establishment Republicans move to expunge Donald Trump from the head of the GOP, his
massive voting base is expressing the opposite view. According to pollster Jim McLaughlin, Trump is becoming more popular every time House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, President Joe Biden, and Democrats make a move to undo a Trump policy. McLaughlin, who conducted the McLaughlin & Associates CPAC preference poll,
found that many Americans are looking back at Trump's agenda and accomplishments and missing it. [...] "The more they attack his issue agenda and his people,
the stronger President Trump gets," he said. McLaughlin pulled these findings from his CPAC poll to make his point:
◦ Ninety-seven percent want Congress to do more to fight for their conservative agenda.
◦ Ninety-three percent said there was voter fraud that helped Biden win.
◦ Ninety-three percent said Biden doesn't have the mental capacity to be president.
◦ Ninety-six percent said the Washington establishment thinks they are better than ordinary people.
◦ Ninety-nine percent said we need to get the children back to school and open the economy.
◦ Sixty-three percent said they are angry/disappointed with the Republican National Committee.
Carlson:
'Dr. Seuss Was Not a Racist — Dr. Seuss Was a Preachy Liberal'. During the Tuesday
[3/2/2021] broadcast of his Fox News Channel program, Tucker Carlson addressed the controversy surrounding Dr. Seuss'
children's books, which have been deemed "racist" but some on the American left. Carlson warned if "cancel culture" was
allowed to succeed with Dr. Seuss, America would be "lost."
Did
"Defund The Police" Drive Non-White Voters To Trump? If this is true, talk about backfire. Former
Obama campaign adviser David Shor argues yes. Democrats thought that slogan would strengthen ethnocentric voting
choices. Instead, it forced non-white voters to choose ideology over demographics, especially among Hispanics —
and rather than pull voters to Joe Biden by pandering, they drove them to Donald Trump instead.
Joe
Biden [was] Asked When America Will Get Back to Normal. Joe Biden was asked when things will go back to normal
on Tuesday [3/2/2021] as he shuffled out of his presser. Joe paused and told the leftwing reporters: [...] Maybe next
year. These Democrats are determined to kill America.
Americans
tune out the Golden Globe Awards. The television audience for Hollywood's virtual Golden Globes ceremony on
Sunday [2/28/2021] fell sharply from last year's event, with preliminary estimates on Monday indicating that about 60 per
cent fewer viewers tuned in to the widely panned award show. Ratings data reported on Monday by The Hollywood Reporter
and Deadline showed that only about 5.4 million Americans watched the three-hour telecast on the NBC network. The
preliminary figures do not reflect viewing on the American West Coast, but they nevertheless reflect a drop of nearly
two-thirds from early audience estimates for the 2020 show.
Poll
Shows Republicans Care About Issues, Democrats Just Hate Republicans. A Echelon Insights poll shows that
Republican priorities surround the big issues of the day, while Democrat concerns are focused almost solely on hating
Republicans. [...] Starting with the most concerned, the top issues of concern for Republican voters are illegal immigration,
lack of support for police, high taxes, left-wing media bias, the moral decline of the country, socialism, Antifa, China,
late-term abortion, election fraud, tech censorship, and discrimination against Christians. [...] Starting with the most
concerned, the top issues of concern for Democrat voters are — no joke — Trump supporters, white
nationalism, systemic racism, gun violence, healthcare coverage, domestic terror, police brutality, discrimination against
the alphabet people, sexism, voter suppression, student debt, and capitalism.
A
short primer on the importance of our Second Amendment rights. Joe Biden's had a lot on his plate. First,
he erased America's immigration laws by order government employees not to enforce them. Then he destroyed the economy
by attacking the oil and gas that are essential for modern life. After that, he sowed some racial discord. Next,
he insulted our only ally in the Middle East while sucking up to "Death to America" Iran. And that's just the shortlist.
But the people in charge haven't forgotten one of their most important missions: To destroy the Second Amendment.
The
Democrats' 'Woke' Equality Act: Another Awful Idea That Would Radically Change America. In principle, the
law bars employment and other discrimination against LGBTQ workers. In reality, it disenfranchises large swaths of
American society, from religious institutions and women's rights groups to small businesses and nonprofits. Legal
legerdemain is key here. The proposed law erases biologically based sex definitions and protections under the 1964
Civil Rights Act and replaces them with the phrase "sexual orientation and gender identity," a legal definition so broad as
to be almost meaningless. So if you believe in traditional marriage and sex roles, or don't agree there are 64
different genders (or even 112, as some assert), you now officially and legally become a bigot, for all that implies.
The
Blue States Are Now the Beggar States. Last week, I visited South Florida for four days, and what a
shock: Everything was open. The beaches, the hotels, the restaurants (with some sensible safety and social
distancing restrictions). The classrooms are full. The other strange thing about being in Florida was that people
were happy. They were playing tennis and golf. They were going to work and getting on with their lives.
Florida is a Republican, can-do kind of place. Then, there is New York. Manhattan is a morose and deserted place
to be. It's as if it's boarded up. People are living their lives afraid. They are depressed, which makes
the whole place depressing. In Southern California, I experienced the same dreariness. And it wasn't the weather,
which was warm and sunny. Restaurants were closed or highly restricted. Stores were sparsely attended, and people
were generally grimacing and standoffish. They yelp in horror if you take off your mask, even for a moment.
Group:
Biden gun control would 'criminalize' 105M law-abiding people. As President Biden pivots to the highly charged
issue of gun control, key groups are urging him to respect the 105 million law-abiding gun owners and target instead illegal
use of firearms. Today, a growing organization that represents those with permits to carry concealed weapons said that
instead of limiting access to guns, the president should nationalize legal permitting and end the patchwork of state
regulations that range from tight bans to no restrictions. "While we can agree that there are several 'common sense'
and long overdue changes needed to our nation's gun laws, we firmly believe that the path forward should be focused on
supporting and protecting responsible, law-abiding Americans — not criminalizing and punishing them," said a
letter to Biden from the U.S. Concealed Carry Association.
Why we need
an inquiry into January 6. [Scroll down] Indeed, so quick was the construction of this narrative that the
cynics among us speculated that the riot, if not exactly premeditated by anti-Trump forces, was at least foreseen as an
exploitable possibility. Something similar can be said about the deployment of the phrase 'our democracy'. In this
case, the first-person-plural possessive is very clearly intended to be exclusive, not inclusive. No one wearing a MAGA
hat or waving a Trump banner is included in that 'our'. The thousands of loyalty-tested National Guard troops and the
tall, razor-wire-tipped fence hastily erected to surround the Capitol communicated the same message. It's Us vs Them,
comrade: talk about 'unity' and 'our democracy' but practice division and exclusion. Nancy Pelosi called the
Capitol 'the people's house', the 'citadel of democracy', but the armed troops and the fence bespoke a different reality.
Ag
commissioner Fried orders offices to defy any order to lower flags for Limbaugh. Florida's agriculture
commissioner is challenging Gov. Ron DeSantis' plans to honor conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh. Following
Limbaugh's death from lung cancer last week, the Republican governor told a crowd of West Palm Beach supporters that he would
celebrate Limbaugh's legacy by ordering state flags to fly at half-staff. "When there's things of this magnitude, once
the date of internment for Rush is announced, we're going to be lowering the flags to half-staff," DeSantis said during a
campaign-style event at the Hilton Palm Beach Airport.
Biden's
HHS Pick Advocates Sex Changes For Kids. On Thursday, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP)
Committee will hold a nomination hearing for Dr. Rachel Levine, President Joe Biden's pick for Assistant Secretary of
Health at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). There are plenty of reasons for the committee to be concerned
about placing Dr. Levine in such an influential and powerful role. [...] Most alarmingly, Dr. Levine has advocated
for sex changes for pre-pubertal people, otherwise known as "children." A professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the
Penn State College of Medicine, Levine has given lectures in various settings since at least 2012 on how to perform sex
changes and gender conversion therapy on children. According to Levine, children ought to be given the latitude to
choose their own gender. Levine has advised adults to "try not to force them one way or other [sic]" and instead to
follow the child's lead.
A Word About The Biden Return To 'Normalcy'.
Less than a month into Biden's term, let's take a look at America's return to "normal":
• Is it our standard-operating procedure to call, without evidence, those we disagree with racists and white supremacists?
• Is being obsessed with, and bowing down before, identity politics who we are?
• Is letting males compete with female athletes playing it straight in the U.S.?
• Is a militarized zone around the U.S. Capitol a long-standing American custom? What about a political witch hunt disguised as an effort to root out domestic terrorists?
• Is it normal for an administration to snub Israel, America's only natural and traditional ally in the Middle East?
• Is it routine for the president's family to conduct "corrupt business dealings in foreign countries"?
• Is it normal for public schools to be closed across the country because the teachers unions in a real sense own the party in power in Washington?
• Is it a time-honored American practice for the media to snuggle up to that party in power and treat the president as a celebrity, even a savior, and refuse to sufficiently fact-check him?
A
Fifty-Year History of Anti-Patriotism in the United States. Patriotism is under attack. The idea of the
cultural Marxists on the left is to replace traditional patriotism with a different vision of the meaning of American
nationalism from the vision that has obtained since 1776, although that traditional understanding and vision of the USA has
gone through modifications over decades. Unwillingness to say the Pledge of Allegiance or even to stand for the Pledge
is not a first step in that direction, but part of an endgame toward a revised understanding of what America is and what its
role is in history. The readers of this article should not be surprised if legislation for a revised American flag is
offered in the halls of Congress in the near future.
McConnell's
Bitter Turtle Soup. [Scroll down] With parts of the country on lockdown, schools closed, and a volatile
market making Americans justifiably nervous, Democrats and their Republican enablers decided that damaging President Trump
(and pre-emptively torpedoing his return in '24) was still their most pressing concern. That's a pretty sobering
admission of just how popular President Trump's policies really are. Congress is more afraid of him and the
transformational change he represents than it is of a hostile China, a worldwide pandemic, a Cold Civil War here in the U.S.,
or the potential for a complete global economic collapse. We are so far "through the looking-glass" now that Alice's
Wonderland seems more believable.
Biden's biggest
lie. Since the precarious installation of our new leader, cancel culture has ratcheted up and grown even more
idiotic and insidious. Careless tales of white supremacy and Trump supporting insurgency have been tossed out like red
meat to the wolf pack media by the "uniter" himself. The force-feeding of school curriculums and guidelines created to
shame a majority of the population for offensive melanin are in vogue and proliferating. This "Us against them"
rhetoric is not waning but accelerating under the Biden administration and it is becoming utterly exhausting. I believe
that most Americans, not just conservatives, want to live their lives in peace and free from ignorant scolds insistent on
making everyone feel guilty and miserable. News flash: I have liberal friends who feel the same way. There
is a much smaller faction of troublemakers involved in the division of America than we think. The problem is that the
new occupant of the White House is one of them.
GOP
senator files 2 bills to stop cancel culture. Here's how Dems responded. California, home to Hollywood,
may be where cancel culture strikes loudest and most viciously. But one Republican lawmaker in the Golden State hopes
to strike back against an ideology that is poisoning honest political debate and ruining careers and lives. State
Sen. Melissa Melendez has filed two bills that would protect people based on their political beliefs — a
seemingly odd thing for a country founded on providing that guarantee to its citizens. One bill, the "Diversity of
Thought Act," would amend California's Fair Employment and Housing Act to include political affiliation among those
"specified characteristics," as the current law says, that protect people from random discrimination.
Delusional
or Deliberate? The great leftist disconnect from reality. Jen Psaki, who serves as Joe Biden's Press
Secretary, is an excellent choice in many ways. She's comfortable appearing uninformed and unintelligent before the
media. She knows that they won't call her out and apparently doesn't care what the American people think. On
Tuesday, she offered a perfect example of that latter point. Psaki is hosting weekly video briefings during which she
answers questions people have submitted via Twitter. At one minute and 21 seconds into the video below, Psaki reads
out the question: "What is President Biden doing for my small business?" [...] The lockdowns have decimated businesses in
every Democrat-run state. Considering how important small businesses are to the economy, this is a deeply serious
issue. So what's Psaki's choice for the most important thing — the "first and foremost" thing —
that Biden has done for small businesses? "He nominated a woman to lead the Small Business Administration": [...] And
what else did Biden do for small businesses? He signed a race-based executive order making money available only for
minorities. This is a woman disconnected from reality, working for an administration that's equally disconnected.

Are
Democrats Creating Two Americas? About half the nation is on the naughty side of the Naughty or Nice list kept
by score-settling Jacobins. Per their ledgers, our side's crimes are many. We support Trump. We dare to
exercise our free speech rights. We question the honesty of the 2020 presidential contests. We mock a pillar of
the heathens' pseudo-religion, "Manmade" climate change. We know that fossil fuel and the Keystone XL Pipeline are very
good things. We know that gender isn't plastic. Real females deserve athletics free from faux female participation.
We know that babies in the womb are human beings. We refute, as patent race-mongering, the harangue that America is an
irredeemably racist land, which must be punished and deconstructed, and whose nonblack citizens must be Jim Crowed as an initial
down payment on recompense. Our stupendously greatest offense? We're a law-abiding, patriotic, God-fearing,
family-loving, and hard-working people.
Juan
Williams Becomes Visibly Upset As Greg Gutfeld Rages Against The Media In Masterful Rant. On Monday
[2/15/2021], Juan Williams appeared visibly upset as Greg Gutfeld went scorched earth against the lying liberal media.
In fact, you can quite literally see Williams shaking his head and squirming in his chair as Gutfeld unleashed his masterful
rant. Gutfeld blistered the media for not being transparent when it comes to voter fraud allegations, saying that the
media accuses conservatives of being "treasonous" if they even dare to raise the question. He also hammered the left
for their support of left-wing riots over the summer because they were done in the name of "social justice". "Juan
says that if you want to bury the lie of election fraud, then let's investigate it and make it more transparent," Gutfeld
began. "If people can believe that something was wrong with the election and not be accused of being treasonous....
Your side did it for 4 years! So nobody is going to bury anything. People are concerned that there's a problem
with the election system, the same way that you feel about the justice system. It was okay for your side to riot for
months over the justice system. But somebody gets ticked off about the election system and that's 'treasonous'," he added.
Eric
Swalwell says God is a woman while discussing Trump impeachment trial. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., on
Sunday [2/14/2021] suggested that God is a woman while discussing the impeachment trial against former President Donald
Trump. Swalwell, 40, made the comments during an appearance on MSNBC, explaining Democrats' decision not to subpoena
additional witnesses. "The choice was, do we chase those people — not knowing what they're going to say to
the courts — for years. Or do we go forward with a powerful, thundering case that we have," Swalwell
said. "And also, (Senate Minority Leader) Mitch McConnell was already telling us that he believed the challenge was a
jurisdictional one." Swalwell said calling witnesses wouldn't have changed Republicans' mind on voting to acquit Trump
on the charge of citing Jan. 6's riot at the U.S. Capitol, even if the witnesses were "God herself."
Tucker
Carlson Suggests Democrats Have Become 'More Vicious in Victory' — 'Power Makes Them Mean'. Thursday
[2/11/2021], FNC "Tucker Carlson Tonight" host Tucker Carlson speculated on the motivations driving congressional Democrats
to pursue the impeachment of former President Donald Trump, which he described as "mad" and "irrational." Carlson
noted that even in victory, Democrats are continuing their relentless pursuit, which he argued was a product of gaining
power. He also questioned why some in the media are seeking to quell dissenting opinion, including Fox News.

'A lot of
cowboys out here': Rural California embraces lockdown defiance. In Woody Clendenen's barbershop, a standard
haircut costs $15. Seniors get a discount for $12, and liberals are charged $40. At least that's what the sign at his
local Cottonwood shop in Northern California's Shasta County says. His small business is donned with Trump 2020 gear,
support to create the new state of Jefferson, and copies of the Constitution for customers to read or take. He's got
regulars who stick around just to talk politics and feel a sense of normalcy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of them
are maskless and aren't told to follow any health precautions when they're at Cottonwood Barbershop. Though
California's often considered one of the bluest states in the country, in the rural Northstate, most locals share a similar
philosophy, embracing the independent spirit of the wild, wild West.
Chris Wallace's toxicity with Fox News viewers on display in charity auction. The continuing prominence
of Chris Wallace on Fox News both annoys and perplexes many of the channel's remaining conservative viewers. And now we finally

Liberal
Columnist Accidentally Admits Diversity Isn't a Strength. Los Angeles Times columnist Virginia Heffernan
went viral last weekend because of an op-ed. She wrote about her discomfort with her very friendly "Trumpite" neighbors.
They shoveled snow from her driveway without her even asking, making her "realize I owe them thanks." But Heffernan wondered
"how much thanks?" To her way of thinking, she can't allow neighborliness to wipe away the alleged horrors of the Trump era.
"My neighbors supported a man who showed near-murderous contempt for the majority of Americans," Heffernan wrote. "They kept him
in business with their support." [...] The column was rightfully mocked by conservatives as petty, arrogant, and out-of-touch.
It illustrates how many liberals think they're superior to the "deplorables" simply because they have the "correct" beliefs.
Deplorables can demonstrate all manner of noble conduct, yet are still morally inferior to the ungrateful liberals they assist.
Restaurant
gets death threats for not allowing server to wear Black Lives Matter mask. The owner of a popular California
restaurant says the eatery got death threats and was forced to close for not allowing a waitress to wear a Black Lives Matter
mask on the job, according to a report. The Girl and the Fig, a country-style French restaurant in Sonoma, received
threats of violence after a former server, Kimi Stout, complained about the incident on local media, according to ABC 7.
"I would have absolutely abided by the mask rules if they had a sign up that said Black Lives Matter," said Stout, who left
the job over the conflict, told the station. "As a Brown queer fem person, standing up for the marginalized has always
been important to me [...]" she said.
The Editor says...
Here's a handy tip about success in life: If your job requires you to interact with the public, you will have a short
and miserable career if you make an effort to look and act as abnormal, repugnant, and generally non-standard non-conformist
as you can. When you are ostracized as a result of your recalcitrance, you should not be surprised, and you should
avoid rushing to the news media with your victimhood story, because it won't help your situation in the long run.
Activists
push Democrats to give stimulus checks to 9M taxpaying noncitizens. Democrats face pressure from immigration
activists to provide pandemic relief checks to millions of immigrants who are illegally residing in the United States but pay
taxes. Behind the scenes, left-leaning advocacy groups and nonprofit organizations are pushing to get $1,400 checks,
including in major pandemic relief legislation not only for the 2.2 million U.S. citizen children who were excluded from the
two previous checks but 9.3 million adults who pay billions of dollars in federal taxes. Altogether, the measure could
cost the federal government $13 billion. The National Immigration Law Center, Church World Services, and Service
Employees International Union are leading efforts to whip Senate Democrats into adding language for the checks into the
pandemic relief legislative package. The move is not expected to succeed but could complicate negotiations within the
Democratic Party in the coming weeks.
Biden's
next big pipeline decision could deepen clash of greens and unions. President Biden's pending decision whether
to shut down the controversial Dakota Access oil pipeline could deepen early tensions between environmentalists and unions
that endorsed him. Biden's day-one order to revoke a permit for the better-known Keystone XL oil pipeline between
Canada and the United States drew backlash from organized labor and some centrist Democrats who say the cancellation will
kill thousands of construction jobs. Now, liberal lawmakers, celebrities, and indigenous leaders have asked the
president to shutter Dakota Access, which critics warn would trigger more backlash since the pipeline is already operational,
unlike Keystone. The Dakota Access pipeline has been carrying oil for more than three years from North Dakota to Illinois.
White
House Supports Mavericks Scrapping The National Anthem Because America Fails 'Often'. White House press
secretary Jen Psaki expressed support for Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's decision to remove the national anthem from the
team's home games because they "feel [the anthem] doesn't represent them." During the Wednesday [2/10/2021] press
briefing, Fox News's Peter Doocy asked Psaki about the Biden administration's stance on Cuban's decision. While the
press secretary acknowledged that President Joe Biden is "proud to be an American and has great respect for the anthem," she
also said he would support the Mavericks for calling out the frequent times when "we as a country haven't lived up to our
highest ideals." "He'd also say that, of course, that part of pride in our country means recognizing moments where we
as a country haven't lived up to our highest ideals, which is often, and at times what people are speaking to when they take
action at sporting events," Psaki said.

Tom
Cotton: Joe Biden Is Keeping U.S. Closed for Americans, Leaving Border Open for Illegal Aliens. President
Joe Biden's administration is getting blasted by lawmakers, local officials, and critics for advocating lockdowns and
restrictions for Americans during the Chinese coronavirus crisis while seemingly opening the nation's borders to illegal
aliens who can flout Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines. As Breitbart News has extensively reported, the
Biden administration has resumed the Catch and Release program wherein border crossers are apprehended and promptly released
into the interior of the United States. These border crossers are not required to test negative for the coronavirus
before their release into American communities.
Why
the Left Must Destroy a Patriotic American Ethos. During the past year, we have witnessed an assault on our
cultural heritage and history; the anti-American iconoclasm that gripped the activist economy throughout the United States is
now a force of absolute desecration that will erase our entire history and heritage if given the chance. First, they
came for the Confederate monuments under the bullhorn of racism. Quietly supported by mainstream conservatism, these
same anti-American iconoclasts just as quickly turned against Lincoln, Grant, and other Union war heroes, much to the
consternation of mainstream conservatives too blind, willfully or ignorantly, to see what the war against our art is
about. How did it come to this? As many know, there has been a "long march" through our institutions by
anti-American and anti-Western liberals who see themselves as the vanguard elect eradicating the sins of white Western
Christian civilization.
Maxine
Waters denies ever encouraging violence against Republicans. We are currently being governed by a class of people who believe:
• Focusing obsessively on race, and classifying people solely by racial characteristics, is "anti-racist."
• Violent cadres of masked people attacking their political enemies, burning buildings, and engaging in violent censorship are "anti-fascists."
• People can change their sex at will because of their feelings, a subset of which is the assertion that men can have babies.
• Ending punishments for criminals (no bail arrests, decarceration, etc.) will end crime.
• Humans the power to affect the earth's climate, a dynamic system that has been changing endlessly for 4.5 billion years.
• A welfare state can survive an open border.
• Introducing millions of unskilled Latin American laborers into America will not have any negative effect on low-income people who are already in America, especially American Blacks.
• Forcing employers to pay above-market wages will result in more jobs, not fewer.
• A decrepit, corrupt, senile man who campaigned from his basement got more votes than any presidential candidate in American history.
• Violent riots across American cities, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage, are peaceful protests.
Given this departure from reality, should we really be shocked that Rep. Maxine Waters is denying that she ever called for violence against Republicans?
If you're a conservative, you're familiar with this video: [Video clip]
Rep.
Cori Bush under fire for defending riot at St. Louis city jail. Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., is facing
criticism for her reaction to a riot Saturday [1/6/2021] at a downtown St. Louis jail. Inmates rioted over a
variety of concerns, setting fires, smashing windows and throwing debris to the street below. It took corrections
officers almost eight hours to end the "extremely violent" disturbance. But the Missouri congresswoman tweeted a
statement of support for the rioters, saying she would work to address their grievances, which include safety fears due to
the coronavirus pandemic. "I want to talk to my constituents in the window," Bush tweeted, referring to the
inmates. "Their lives and their rights must be protected. My team and I are working to ensure that the urgent
needs of people who are incarcerated are not ignored."
Here
Come the 'Climate Lockdowns'. PJM's Jeff Reynolds reported on the proposed "climate emergency" legislation that
would declare climate change a "national emergency." If passed, it would give Biden sweeping powers and unlock billions
in spending. Since there is no "climate emergency" at the moment, the radical greens have to create one. And the
more dire and frightening they can make it, the more powerful they will become. AOC and her cohorts in Congress will do
their best but it's likely that the worst of the "Green New Deal" will never be enacted even with the declaration that
climate change is a national emergency. But suppose President Biden and other western leaders were to declare a
"climate lockdown"? In a climate lockdown, "governments would limit private-vehicle use, ban the consumption of red
meat, and impose extreme energy-saving measures, while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling."
The Editor says...
Even the most ardent Democrat — the most rabid baby-killing abortionist, the most heavy-handed union goon, the queerest
LGBTQWERTY+ non-conforming transvestite — must surely wonder if he or she really voted for this assortment of draconian foolishness.
Does anyone really believe that "consumption of red meat" changes the weather so much that the U.S. economy must be strangled to fix
it? Does anyone really believe that if U.S. oil drilling stops, there won't be any oil exploration anywhere in the world (like
the Middle East)? Did any voter (living or dead) in November 2020 think he or she was voting for "extreme energy-saving
measures" — whatever that may mean?
When (or If) Comes
the Pushback? The Bush-Clinton-Obama continuum of 24 years (from 1993 through 2015) cemented the bipartisan
fusion administrative state. Trump and his "Make America Great Again" agenda were its pushback. The
counterreaction to the populism of the Trump reset — or Trump himself — is as of yet unsure. Joe
Biden's tenure may mark a return to business as usual of the Bush-Clinton years. Or more likely, it will accelerate the
current hard-left trajectory. Either way, it seems that Biden is intent on provoking just such a pushback by his record
number of early and often radical executive orders — a tactic candidate Biden condemned. On almost every
issue — open borders, blanket amnesties, canceling the Keystone XL pipeline, promoting the Green New Deal, and
hard-left appointees — Biden is touting positions that likely do not earn 50 percent public support.
Hot
mic purportedly picks up Dems mocking Matt Gaetz for request to recite 'Pledge of Allegiance'. Democrats on the
House Judiciary Committee appeared to mock and ridicule GOP member Matt Gaetz after he requested the panel recite the "Pledge
of Allegiance" ahead of a hearing. Their comments were picked up by a hot mic, according to a video file of the
Thursday [2/4/2021] hearing obtained by The Daily Caller. "In the video, you can hear Tennessee Democratic
Rep. Steve Cohen and an unidentified House Democrat appearing to joke about the request. They were reminded by a
staffer that their microphones were hot, according to the audio," The DC reported. During the hearing, which pertained
to new House rules, Gaetz, Florida Republican, requested the pledge be recited at the beginning of each hearing.
Watch:
Nadler Refuses To Allow "Unnecessary" Pledge Of Allegiance To Be Recited. It's no secret that many Democrats in
Congress don't value the traditions of our great nation. That includes the Pledge of Allegiance. We already knew
they hated the Star Spangled Banner after 4 and a half years of calling it "racist" thanks to Colin Kaepernick,
but now they have set their sights on the Pledge. On Thursday [2/4/2021], House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler shut down
Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz's request to have the committee recite the pledge of allegiance at the beginning of hearings. [...]
Surely after all of the talk of "unity" from former Vice President Joe Biden, Congressional Democrats would absolutely want to
show how our country can unify, right? Wrong.
Rand
Paul Denounces Biden Transgender Sports Policy. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) challenged President Joe Biden's
Education Secretary nominee on his statement it is "appropriate" to allow boys to compete in girls' sports by asking, "What
planet are you from?" During a confirmation hearing Wednesday [2/3/2021] of the Senate committee that oversees
education, the Kentucky senator asked Miguel Cardona if he thinks it is "fair" to allow boys claiming to be transgender to
participate in girls' sports, and about how it affects girls competing in these athletic events. "I think it is
appropriate," Cardona replied. "It is the legal responsibility of schools to provide opportunities for students to
participate in activities and this includes students who are transgender."
Trump
Moves Out of the White House and into Their Heads. You would never know that * is president. DC's denizen
can't move on. They don't want to move on. Look what they have to move onto, two years of utter failure
with that desiccated old zombie at the helm screwing this up until an energized and woke wave of GOP candidates who want to
burn the whole garbage Establishment down sweep into power in 2022. When the Reddit Rebels took on the
Democrat-donating hedge funders, that was the spirit of Trump. And, like the awkward and clumsy counter-insurgents they
are, our stupid Establishment tore off its smiley-face mask and stepped in to protect its own against the great unwashed who
had so improbably managed to win, if only for a moment, the rigged game that is Wall Street. How many people got woke
that day? And how many people got woke when * threw tens of thousands of Americans out of work as human sacrifices to
the blue libs' angry weather goddess? How many got woke when * announced he was making the all-purpose boogeyman of
"racism" a cornerstone of his administration? How many got woke when they saw the Democrat-subsidizing tech lords shut
down the speech of anyone who dissents? How many got woke when COVID suddenly started to vanish the second it stopped
being useful?
Republicans
tear into Biden's Press Secretary Jen Psaki and demand she apologize for mocking Space Force during briefing.
House Republicans have slammed White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and demanded she 'immediately apologize' for 'demeaning'
the US Space Force. Alabama Rep. Mike Rogers and Florida Rep. Mike Waltz both hit out at Psaki Tuesday for
what they described as a 'disgraceful' quip about the newest branch of the military where she joked it was 'the plane of
today'. Psaki also managed to ruffle more feathers in the briefing room Tuesday [2/2/2021] when she hit out at a
Politico reporter accusing her of 'putting words in my mouth' over the White House's China strategy.
Bed Bath & Beyond Joins Fascist Crusade.
Left-wingers running major American companies are targeting their own customers in a fascist-style anti-Trump crusade.
The objective: to intimidate and silence conservatives. The other day it was Loews hotels. Run by the
Democratic/leftist Tisch family, the company ostentatiously announced it would cancel a fundraiser for Missouri
Sen. Josh Hawley at its Orlando hotel. This because the Tisches were incensed that Hawley had the nerve to stand
on the Senate floor and defend election integrity and the Constitution. Now it is, of all places, Bed Bath & Beyond
that has launched an attack on its pro-Trump customers. The company has ostentatiously decided to stop carrying
MyPillow products because they have it in for MyPillow founder and quite visible Trump supporter Mike Lindell. And
unsurprisingly, cross-match the corporate governing officers of Bed Bath & Beyond with Federal Election Commission (FEC)
records and, lo and behold, one finds ... yes indeed ... a far-left Trump-hater in a senior position at the company.
John Kerry, Global
Warming Ghoul. Presidential climate envoy John Kerry stirred up a black cloud last week when he said the
workers who lost their jobs over the administration's decision to shut down Keystone XL pipeline construction could just make
solar panels instead. At least he didn't tell them they should learn to code. But it was a cruel comment
nonetheless, and representative of the political left's careless destruction of livelihoods in service of their climate
god. At a news conference last week, Kerry said "what President Biden wants to do is make sure that those folks" who
lost jobs "have better choices, that they have alternatives, that they can be the people who go to work to make the solar
panels." Unsaid yet clearly understood is the Democrats' contempt for calloused-hand working class Americans —
these "deplorables" just can't make good decisions and need the guiding hand of government to help them avoid the briar
patches and potholes of life.
Religious Leaders
Have Mixed Feelings About Biden's Agenda. Since Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20, religious leaders from major
faiths have had to grapple with the administration's stance on a range of issues, often resulting in a blend of hope and
dismay, the AP reported. On issues like abortion, Biden has created angst amongst Roman Catholic Church and Southern
Baptist Convention leaders, as the president has indicated strong support for abortion rights for women, according to the AP.
[...] On issues of LGBTQ rights and religious freedom, Biden's expansion of LGBTQ nondiscrimination protections has united
Catholics and Southern Baptists in opposition to the president's agenda, arguing it could infringe on the rights of religious
groups who oppose same-sex marriage and the inclusion of gender identity, the AP reported.
Youtube
rushes to hide the mass unpopularity of Biden Whitehouse. It's all one giant Psy-Op. The Whitehouse
Youtube Channel for the most popular President ever elected is being unliked en mass. Youtube kicked Donald Trump off
the "platform", so hordes of fans are tuning into Joe Biden's channel instead, and they're not happy. Joe Biden's
inauguration video tally currently stands at 4,300 "likes" and 48,000 "dislikes". Realizing the PR flop that
this is, Youtube quietly unlisted the video to hide it from searches, but it's
at this link. In newer Whitehouse
videos, the downvotes continue. Clearly the Social Media controllers have a problem. One week later, and
Youtube don't just unlist the video's — the Swat team has started deleting the deporable votes instead.
Will they stop all their other nonsense if there is an "outcry?" Are we all in a big shouting match now?
Biden
admin halts plans to give Gitmo detainees COVID-19 vaccine ahead of Americans after outcry. After a massive outcry,
the Biden Defense Department paused plans to give the COVID-19 vaccine to about 40 Guantanamo Bay detainees, including Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed, one of the masterminds behind the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. While millions of Americans wait
in line, The New York Times reported last week that Gitmo detainees and prisoners will be offered vaccines on a voluntary
basis, beginning as early as Monday. But the Pentagon halted those plans Saturday in the face of heavy criticism for
prioritizing terror suspects ahead of American citizens, according to CBS News. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.,
pinned responsibility for the initial decision, which the Department of Defense confirmed Friday, on President Joe Biden.
A Tsunami of Hate.
All politics is divisive. That's the healthy basis of our constitutional order: the freedom to disagree. To
suppress disagreement, to outlaw it — as many Democrats and their Big Tech and media allies — are
demanding these days, is to end democracy as we know it. The problem is not that we disagree. We are not
suffering as a nation from healthy disagreement. We are suffering from a Tsunami of Hate emanating from the Democrat
Party that seeks to demonize, criminalize and extinguish dissent from the 75 million supporters of Donald Trump. It is
now official Washington dogma that to question an election result — something the congressional Democrats have
done in the face of every Republican presidential victory since 2000 — is now "insurrection" and "domestic
terrorism," or the incitement thereto, and needs to be prosecuted and suppressed.
Be a tribe of one.
Suppose you're a die-hard Democrat. What do you do about such issues as: [...] Environmentalism and immigration versus
unions. Do you side with trade unions — which are overwhelmingly Democrats — who understandably
want good jobs for workers? Or do you side with environmentalists — who are also overwhelmingly
Democrats — who want to eliminate the oil and gas industry and the millions of jobs that accompany it, and illegal
immigration advocates — who are overwhelmingly Democrats — who want to flood America with low-paid
immigrants that may eventually vote Democrat but will drive down America's worker wages even further?
Pelosi
slammed for 'inciteful' rhetoric after calling pro-2nd Amendment GOP lawmakers 'enemy within'. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi's use of inciteful rhetoric shows no signs of abatement, as the California Democrat who previously referred to
then-President Donald Trump as a "domestic enemy" called Republican lawmakers the "enemy within." The reason for this
egregious slander is because some GOP lawmakers want to carry a firearm — see Second Amendment. Continuing
to exploit the storming of the U.S. Capitol earlier this month with extreme hyperbole — it wasn't an attempt to
overthrow government — for maximum political value, Democrats are working hard to demonize and dehumanize the GOP.
"I do believe, and I have said this all along, that we will probably need a supplemental for more security for members when the
enemy is within the House of Representatives, a threat that members are concerned about in addition to what is happening outside,"
Pelosi said Thursday [1/28/2021] while speaking to reporters.
Trump
Campaign Pollster: Effort to Cancel Trump Is 'Backfiring'. [Scroll down] The effort to convict
Trump in an impeachment trial suffered a grave setback after 45 Republican senators voted against holding the trial, meaning
that it's unlikely there will be enough votes to convict the former president. Convicting a president requires at least
67 votes, meaning 17 Republicans would have to join Democrats. A number of Republican senators said it's unconstitutional
and pointless to convict a former president. "It's having no impact on his base, in fact, it's just solidifying them and
making them angrier or more upset," McLaughlin said of the impeachment efforts. "Because the people outside the Beltway
agree" that it is essentially unconstitutional, he said.
Must
Christians Submit to Evil Authorities? As I study the many executive orders signed by President Biden in the
last few days, two issues in particular concern me: a militant advancement of transgenderism and abortion. Both are
attacks on human dignity, misrepresenting even what it means to be human. Promoting transgender experience advocates
for a distorted view of personhood that denies the very biological DNA given by God, bending reality into a lie.
Abortion legitimatizes the killing of a human being when he is deemed an inconvenience. Advocating for transgenderism
and abortion are therefore the opposite of loving one's neighbor, let alone loving one's family or even loving oneself.
Biden's normal
is abnormal. The media is peddling the narrative that Chairman Xiden is bringing back normalcy. Well, let
us see what the media and the rest of the Democrats consider normal. The new normalcy is impeaching a president and
trying him after his term ends and he has gone home to Mar-A-Lago. The new normalcy is arresting and prosecuting a man
for making memes on Twitter. The new normalcy is 25,000 National Guard troops in Washington on Inauguration Day.
The new normalcy is replacing a viewing audience for the occasion with 100,000 American flags. The new normalcy is
cries of deprogramming political opponents. The new normalcy is banning reporters who ask tough questions at press
conferences. The new normalcy is not deporting criminals. The new normalcy is making women shower with men in the
military. The new normalcy is attempts to expel duly elected opponents from the Senate.
Democrats
Want a 'Return to Civility'; When Did They Practice It? A 2020 Joe Biden campaign ad described the pending
election as an "opportunity to leave the dark, angry politics of the past behind us." After Biden's election, he,
Democrats and media urge a "return to civility." But when did the Democrats practice the very civility to which they seek
to return? Let's go to the videotape: [...] Former Rep. William Clay Sr., D-Mo., said President Ronald Reagan was
"trying to replace the Bill of Rights with fascist precepts lifted verbatim from 'Mein Kampf.'" Coretta Scott King, in
1980, said, "I am scared that if Ronald Reagan gets into office, we are going to see more of the Ku Klux Klan and a
resurgence of the Nazi Party." After Republicans took control of the House in the mid-'90s, Rep. John Dingell,
D-Mich., compared the newly conservative-majority House to "the Duma and the Reichstag," referring to the legislature set up
by Czar Nicholas II of Russia and the parliament of the German Weimar Republic that brought Hitler to power. About
President George Herbert Walker Bush, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., said: "I believe (Bush) is a racist for many,
many reasons. ... (He's) a mean-spirited man who has no care or concern about what happens to the African American community.
... I truly believe that."
How to Deprogram Us.
A new buzzword on social media, cable news, and among leftist activists is "deprogramming." Along with terms like
"reprogramming," "de-Baathification," and "deplatforming," deprogramming refers to cleansing the incorrect mentalities of
former Trump Administration officials — and even those who voted for Trump. Note that deprogramming does not
refer to elites who peddled the "Russian collusion" hoax for years, despite the abject absence of evidence. Not long
ago, two Washington Post columnists offered some solutions to the Trumpist threat. One, Max Boot, wished to ban
Fox News and other conservative stations from cable subscriptions. The other, Eugene Robinson, suggested that there was
a need to focus on mostly "white" Republicans to "deprogram" their thoughts. Pro forma "diversity training"
has already been upgraded to include coming clean about "white supremacy" and "unearned privilege."
Army
investigating social media post by chaplain who asked if transgender people unfit to serve. Army officials are
investigating comments on social media by a Fort Hood chaplain who questioned whether transgender people are mentally unfit
to serve in the military. The chaplain, Army Maj. Andrew Calvert, wrote the comments under a Facebook post from
Army Times, a civilian publication, about President Joe Biden's recent order to reverse the ban on transgender people serving
in the armed forces. "How is rejecting reality (biology) not evidence that a person is mentally unfit (ill), and thus
making that person unqualified to serve," Maj. Calvert apparently wrote on Monday under the Army Times post.
"There is little difference in this than over those who believe and argue for a 'flat earth,' despite the overwhelming
evidence to the contrary."
Biden
Administration Adds Forcing Female Soldiers To Shower With Men. The newly inaugurated Biden-Harris
administration is off to a rocky start with military men and women. Serious affronts have come from Congress as well as
the White House, adding insults to injuries with even more damage on the way. It was bad enough when Rep. Steve
Cohen, D-Tenn., insinuated during a CNN interview that most of the 25,000 National Guard soldiers deployed to guard the
Capitol during the Inauguration were white males and probably Donald Trump voters, so they might be in the "class" of people
who "may want to do something" to cause trouble. Then we saw 5,000 troops banished to a cold parking garage with one
electrical outlet, no Internet, two restroom stalls, and high risks of COVID. Not since former First Lady Hillary Clinton
treated uniformed White House social aides like personal servants have we seen such disdain for military personnel doing
their jobs. These affronts and reported plans to keep thousands of troops in Washington, D.C. without a clear mission
were exceeded by President Joe Biden signing executive orders on his first day.
New
Mexico Voted for Biden by Almost 11%, Now Leaders Are Alarmed by His Oil, Gas Suspension. In November,
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was so popular in New Mexico that he captured more than 54 percent of the vote,
giving him an almost 11 percentage point win over then-President Donald Trump. But on the heels of a 60-day moratorium
on oil and gas drilling on federal lands that has emerged from the new president's administration, Biden's popularity appears
to be slipping. On Wednesday [1/20/2021], acting Interior Secretary Scott de la Vega issued a 60-day ban on new permits
on federal land, according to the Washington Times.
The
Attempt to Install a One-Party Oligarchy is Predestined to Fail. Scattered throughout the length and breadth of
the United States are those who have experienced first-hand the tyranny of despotic rulers and repressive one-party
oligarchies. Today, many of us that came here as refugees are watching with bemusement and a mild sense of trepidation
as the oblivious, self-absorbed, puerile wannabe autocrats in the Ruling Class are hell-bent on imposing their dysfunctional
version of one-party dictatorial rule on a nation they apparently neither know nor understand. The vast bulk of this
cadre of self-styled intellectuals and societal elites are little different from those in various European nations.
They are not only beset with a severe case of narcissism but are among the most gullible and easily manipulated due to their
overweening need to feel superior to those they perceive to be lesser fellow citizens. This sense of superiority
eventually manifests itself in an immutable belief that they are preordained to rule the unwashed masses.
Former
Trump Adviser: Biden's Early Priorities Uniting Country Against Him. President Joe Biden's early
priorities are uniting the country against him, an adviser to former President Donald Trump said Saturday [1/23/2021].
"Does any normal person right now in this country think the top priority is to make sure we don't deport criminal illegal
aliens who've committed violent offenses against U.S. citizens?" Stephen Miller, who was for four years an adviser to Trump,
said during an appearance on Fox News' "Watters World." Miller also referenced Biden's executive orders canceling the
construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline and rejoining the Paris Climate Accord. "Whose priorities are these?
They're the priorities of a narrow group of far-left special interests, who have jobs and wealth and security and who look
down on everyday citizens who just want to live a better, safer, healthier life," Miller asserted.
1
in 5 Americans have confidence Biden can unite the country: poll. Americans definitely aren't united on
this question. Just one in five Americans have "a great deal of confidence" in President Biden's ability to
make good on his goal to unify the country, according to a new poll released Sunday [1/24/2021]. While 22 percent said
Biden will unify the country, 24 percent remained highly skeptical, saying that they have no confidence "at all" that
he will be able to do so, the ABC News/Ipsos poll found. Thirty-five percent said they have a "good amount" of confidence
Biden could unite the country and 19 percent said they had "not so much" confidence.
Katie
Couric is 'ruled out' as permanent host of Jeopardy after asking Bill Maher 'how are we going to deprogram the cult of
Trump?'. Katie Couric recently sounded off on Donald Trump's impeachment and Twitter ban, before the one-term
president left office. And the acclaimed journalist is now facing backlash from the mostly 'conservative' audience of
Jeopardy!, ahead of her guest hosting gig. It came after she appeared on the first 2021 episode of Real Time with Bill
Maher last week, where they discussed extremist beliefs in Congress, following the riot at the Capitol earlier this month.
Biden's
Presidency of Disunity. It is hypocritical for the Democrat party and their supporters pretend to care about
the social cohesion of the United States. Calls for unity are empty coming from a party that spent the last four years
dividing people and will continue to do so for four more. Radical education measures, especially pollution of United
States history, and likely favors, for special interests await.
The
Tech titans ignore incitement to violence against conservatives. "Doxing" is defined as publishing on the
internet private or identifying information about people with malicious intent. People who are doxed have their lives
destroyed. Some are attacked so viciously they go into hiding. It's therefore a dangerous incitement to violence
that Don Winslow, a Russiagate conspiracy theorist, has released a video urging people to root out every single Trump
supporter in America and target them for destruction. Yet Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube have allowed the video to remain,
with the Twitter version having over 4 million views and getting retweeted over 28 thousand times. The video
(which I won't link but you can find [elsew]here) shows footage of Trump rallies and explains that all of the attendees are
"domestic terrorists." These domestic terrorists, he says, are hiding in plain sight.
Now
We've Got Them Right Where We Want Them. The ruling class has taken an election, but they've substantially
weakened their position in doing so. It's time to take stock of our relative positions and move on. So, what is
the left's position now? They lost seats in Congress. Even more significant, they lost power in state
governments. These are the same state bodies that are going to reapportion congressional districts this year.
They've exposed their true nature to all Americans. Through their actions over the last year, they've revealed
themselves to be petty, vindictive, dishonest autocrats. It is not an attractive look. They've also exposed all
of their covert operators. The media, tech oligarchs, and faceless bureaucrats have taken sides — and now we
know it. Much of their power came from secrecy, which they no longer have. All of this was sacrificed to drag a
demented, racist has-been across the finish line. President Asterisk enters office in the weakest position of any
president in recent history. We're not at the dawn of the left's ascendancy. They have peaked. They're
spent. I'm sure they're not done fighting, but their strategic position is not something to envy. It's doubtful
they can retain power.
The Phantom
Inauguration. Phantom pain is pain that a person feels in a body part, usually a limb, that is no longer
there. That's kind of how yesterday's Presidential Inauguration felt. The limb missing was the lack of supporters
and even protestors at the event. BOTH are part of American democracy, and both were totally restricted from the
Capitol Mall. The Inauguration is an American tradition, but regular Americans weren't allowed to be a part. How
wrong is that? How difficult could it have been to pull off an event that allowed people with 28,000 National Guard
troops in place to keep the peace? Fireworks are great to see... in person. On television, who cares?
But the paternalistic attitude of Biden, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi urging people to stay home and
then if they didn't, locking them out anyway, is very much reflective of the events that lead up to the inaugural, and the
approach of this current administration. The political elites are back, and they're all over making sure you know who
is in, and who is out. Democracy from a distance seems to be the mandate of this bunch.
Biden Inauguration Day:
America's Dark Winter Begins. There's not much healing in our future when:
• Biden less than two weeks ago compared Donald Trump and Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.
• A Democratic member of the House is obviously pleased that "that Congress is looking into creating an investigative commission to 'rein in' the media," meaning, of course, the few independent outlets that refuse to operate as the Democratic Party's marketing department.
• The inauguration will be infected by "a climate of fear and loathing" because the Democrats won't stop feeding the narrative that Trump and his supporters are deplorable insurrectionists.
• The bright lights of the media want to know "how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump," and are agitating for a "cleansing" of the Trump "movement."
• A political analyst from Democratic Party favorite MSNBC says "MAGA terrorists" — largely those on the right with whom he disagrees — are "much more dangerous" than Al Qaeda after 9-11, [...]
• And a cybersecurity expert insists "we're going to have to figure out the OANN and Newsmax problem," referring to a pair of cable outlets that are alternatives to the hard-left cheerleading regularly seen on the broadcast networks, CNN, MSNBC, and others.
Causes
of the Great Rejection by Commoners. [Scroll down] Isn't it obvious? Our ruling class lords live by
jabbing ordinary Commoners in the ribs. Because racism. Because sexism. Because homophobia. Our lords
give meaning to their lives by vaunting over the Commoners, because bigots. The idea that ordinary Commoners have the
right to live their lives according to their lights, their religion and their guns, just doesn't register with our
lords. The very idea! The wants, the needs, the dreams of ordinary Americans just do not register with our
rulers. [...] Obviously, Commoners can't be allies: too deplorable. They can't be oppressed peoples:
too white. So they must be white oppressors: QED.

Rep.
Jamaal Bowman: Time to 'stop spreading the myth of American exceptionalism'. Newly elected
Rep. Jamaal Bowman said Monday [1/18/2021] that the U.S. Capitol riot provided Congress the opportunity to "stop
spreading the myth of American exceptionalism" and seriously address systemic racism in the country. [...] "This is a new
baseline," he added. "And now we have to deal with the issue of White nationalism seriously in police departments, but
also throughout all of America's institutions." Mr. Bowman suggested that White supremacy played a role in law
enforcement's response to the Jan. 6 violence at the Capitol, comparing it to the heavy-handed response to "peaceful
Black Lives Matter protesters" over the summer.
If
You Wanted Joe Biden, You Get Him, and You Don't Get to Complain. You can't spend a year fluffing Biden as the
only hope for the union and then act surprised when he does exactly what he said he would do. This is a guy who stood
on a debate stage and raised his hand pledging universal healthcare to illegal immigrants. He's already trying to roll
out an amnesty bill and he hasn't even taken office yet. That bill includes a path to citizenship with zero new
enforcement mechanisms or resources. In a phrase, it's exactly what you'd expect. [...] The election is over. The
time to fret about Biden's immigration policies was before you voted for him.

GOP
Committed Chemical Warfare by Not Wearing Masks Says Clueless Elected Official. [Scroll down] The Biden
administration is going to make a feeble attempt of trying to bring the nation together and it will fail in spectacular
fashion with comments like these being made. [...] The dirty li'l secret in Dem circles is that once the Orange Guy Bad
boogeyman is off to Mar-a-Lago, the nincompoop radicals in the new Socialist Democrat Party will start to pressure Joe and
Kamala to do every wacky thing that comes across their fertile li'l minds. Biden, Inc. won't be able to stop them from
raising Cain all over the media, being Don Lemon needs ratings, baby! And what better way to do that than by
allowing people to say their colleagues are committing chemical warfare by not wearing a mask? I'm sure that this is just
the opening salvo and some other crackpot theory that the raging left will bellow will be featured weekly and maybe even daily.
It's
Breathtaking to Observe What's Going on in Our Country. We got Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez now saying that she
wants the social media companies to censor all conservative media. We gotta clean up media by getting rid of
conservative media. We gotta clean up America by getting rid of conservatism, and she's asking that the media be the
people responsible for making this all this all happen. Which is not a surprise. The media is no different than a
Democrat, is no different than anywhere else you find a leftist. [...] Look at the record of achievement for Donald Trump in
the first three years before the pandemic hit. The economy alone, and they're destroying the guy, and they have to
because they've got to destroy that legacy. They've gotta destroy that record 'cause it's in direct contradiction to
what the Democrats and Biden and all of them in the media are now promoting.

Luntz Looks Visibly Disturbed When His Focus Group Proves People Still LOVE Trump. Far-left political pollster
Frank Luntz had his day ruined when he was forced to tell Fox News about the results from his latest focus group. While
Luntz was hoping that Trump supporters had jumped ship, that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, Luntz's focus
group found that more than 91% of Trump's supporters would vote for him again (we think that number is much higher). In
addition, Luntz said that 78% of Trump voters believe that the election was stolen (as they should). "91% of those who
voted for Donald Trump on Election Day would vote for him again. This is a poll that was done on Monday [1/11/2021],
just 48 hours ago," Luntz began with a depressed look on his face.
Why
the Right will Neither Forgive nor Forget. Why did so many thousands of individuals choose to take time off
from work, spend considerable resources, and inconvenience themselves in order to visit the nation's capital Jan. 6 for what
is usually an unremarkable process of certifying electoral votes? First, we must understand that conservative voters
have endured not just the last four years of insults, berating, and unreasonable and childlike behavior out of the
Democrat-led House and the Democrat senators as well as many Republicans that failed to support and often worked against
President Trump. They suffered eight years of flagrant trampling of the Constitution, irresponsible and reckless
leftist polices and regulations, scandals and abuse, insults and divisiveness from the Obama administration and liberals in
the legacy media and social media.
AOC:
Country will heal with the 'actual liberation of southern states' from GOP control. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., took to Instagram on Tuesday night and suggested that the states in the south need to be
"liberated." During an over hour-long livestream about the Capitol Hill riots and the ongoing efforts to impeach
President Trump, the progressive lawmaker reiterated her call for GOP Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley to resign or be
ousted by Democratic challengers for leading the opposition in the certification of President-elect Biden's victory.
She then pointed to "multi-racial" and "multi-cultural" grassroots organization in Georgia that led to Democrats taking
control of the Senate as a sign that "southern states are not red states, they are suppressed states."
Tucker
Carlson's frightening summation of what's happening in America. [Scroll down] PayPal suspended the
account of a group that paid for Trump supporters to travel to Washington. Rocker Ariel Pink's record label dropped him
for attending the rally. A flight attendant's union has demanded that all "insurrectionists" may no longer travel
commercially anywhere in the United States. And what's an "insurrectionist?" According to a letter from congressional
Democrats, "it is anyone who sympathizes with what happened on Wednesday." Everyone should be afraid of this definition
and its consequences. People should push back but corporate America is piling on, instead. People who control
our money, health, and ability to travel are nailing anyone who questions the election. Democrats are now trying to eject
all congresspeople who asked to have an audit of the election. Tucker points out that, beginning in 2000, Democrats
routinely objected to Electoral College certifications, except that it wasn't "insurrection" then.

Allow me to remind you of the definition of insurrection prior to last week: It applies to the majority of the
incidents described on this page.

Book
Burners 2.0: Clinton-Tied Groups Push Joe Biden to Kill Free Speech. Left-wing organizations are plotting to
suppress dissent. A coalition of extremely well-funded radical groups, many with direct ties to the Clintons, have
signed an open letter to Joe Biden requesting that he host a range of federal government "solutions" to the problem of
"disinformation." From questions about the coronavirus vaccine to "climate denialism" to "lies about abortion," and
more, these leftist groups are tapping into their well-known tyrannical tendency to squash dissent. If readers have not
yet caught on, "disinformation" is a dog whistle for speech that challenges left-wing orthodoxy. By seeking to silence
opposition, the leftist organizations are following in the footsteps of book-burners from the Nazis in Germany to Mao's
Red Guards.
I refuse to remain silent.
[Thread reader] I haven't changed. The Democrat Party has changed. It's become a toxic combination of radical
leftists and liberal elites (many in San Francisco and Hollywood) that have taken over my former Party. Grandstanding
Democrats and well-paid talking heads on TV don't seem to understand how many Americans feel left behind and ignored by their
"leaders" in Washington. They've hijacked the civil rights movement for money and corrupt political gain. Instead
of focusing on the real divisions dragging Americans down, we are fed a false narrative based on race-baiting, identity
politics and widespread propaganda fed to the masses. [...] Today's Democrat Party embraces identity politics and
victimhood. I refuse to judge a man or woman by their skin color and I refuse to accept victimhood as my destiny.
Leaders of today's Democrat Party are more interested in cozying up to the coastal liberal elites than they are interested in
representing America's hardworking men and women who want to provide for their families, make their communities better and
live fulfilling lives.
Our only option is a steady
Civil Rights movement to make it illegal, step by step, to do this to us. [Thread reader] Every person on the
left believes they just survived the parallel to the rise of Nazism in Germany and they defeated it. They stopped
it. They believe all Republicans are 1950's white racists. They feel empowered to live out their Civil Rights
warrior fantasies. They imagine themselves toppling Jim Crow and the Confederacy and the Nazi army in one swoop and
every powerful authority is on their side. [...] They think we are the people in old 1950's photos angrily shouting at black
school children. We are not people to them. We are symbols of what they feel morally driven to remove from the
world. The most powerful people who influence technology see us the same way.
Just
What Were You Expecting? [Scroll down] What did you think would happen when you impeached, under false
pretenses, a President who was the choice of close to half of America? What did you think would happen when you spent
each and every day denigrating 73 million Trump supporters, calling them "bitter clingers," "deplorables," who live in
"flyover country," who go to work, pay their taxes and just want to be left alone?
Georgia
state Rep. Vernon Jones announces he's joining Republican Party. Former Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones
announced Wednesday [1/6/2021] that he will be joining the Republican Party. Jones, a former Democrat representing the 91st
District in Lithonia, Ga., said in a post on Twitter: "Now more than ever, the Republican Party is in desperate need of
leaders that know how to fight. I know how to fight." Jones caused a stir last year when he decided to resign
from his position in the state's House of Representatives and commit to campaigning on behalf of President Trump, even
speaking at the Republican Nationals Convention in August. He later flip-flopped on his decision to step down, saying
he would not kowtow to Democrats, but said he was not interested in changing parties. Jones did not respond to Fox
News' request for comment on what swayed him to change his mind.
I
am appalled at the election of Raphael Warnock. As an American who reveres our country, our founding, and our
Constitution, I am appalled at the election of Raphael Warnock. His beliefs, as declared over the course of decades,
about this country, race, Israel, and a host of other issues are frightening. [...] Furthermore, as Democrats and the media,
as well as a sizeable number of GOP officials in Washington and their pundits and media, condemn the president for fighting
to the bitter end over serious election abuses — the worst of which are the constitutional violations in key
battleground states strategically instituted by the Democrat Party and Biden campaign — precious little is said
about the declared intention of the Democrat Party to gut the independence of the Supreme Court by packing it with leftwing
ideologues, destroying the Senate by packing it with new Democrat senators from Puerto Rico and DC, killing the filibuster
rule to ensure that all and any laws the Democrat wish to pass will come to pass, and destroying the electoral college.
If carried through, this will be the greatest attack on our Constitution and our republican system since the Civil
War — when the Democrat Party led the Confederacy. The media, of course, are all in with this.
Why
I Am Joining The Jan. 6 DC March For Trump. I am angry. It's not a passing emotion brought on by a single
circumstance. This anger is a deep, painful, abiding anger created by a mix of frustration, despair, hopelessness, and
injustice. [...] I'm angry because I've been playing by the "rules": paying my taxes, being civil and tolerant of my
neighbor, accepting without protest the election of past presidents I didn't support, and never threatening physical
violence, using name-calling, canceling careers, using government goons to unlawfully spy to invent reasons for impeachment,
or using media to misreport, misrepresent or otherwise create dissension and anger. Yet the other side has carte
blanche to do all this and more without condemnation, conviction, or retribution of any kind.
A
Time For Choosing: A Test For Our Souls. There has been a force quietly at work in our country, in plain
sight, that has gradually taken over ideological control of most of our institutions, businesses, media, and even our
culture. This force is Marxism and communism. For those who have been following this story, there is no surprise
here. For those who have never heard of this, it sounds far-fetched and unbelievable. This decades-long communist
subversion of our nation came to a head in the 2020 election. While before our major political parties didn't differ
that much on a fundamental level, gradually one of the parties was subverted by communist groups. During past
elections, both parties would wave the American flag and sing the national anthem, but now one side genuinely believes
America is a fundamentally flawed nation. Over the summer, Marxist groups such as Black Lives Matter (BLM), which was
founded by self-proclaimed Marxists who have hijacked genuine concerns over racism for political purposes, and the far-left
Antifa group, were behind riots and violence. These groups have direct ties to communist groups connected to the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Why the
Left Always Wins. [Scroll down] Deconstructivism is simpler to learn, easier to embrace, and tons more
fun to practice than patriotic sacrifice. The leftist has only to dilate on racism to other smug communitarians, COVID
air-hug in delusional moral superiority, and his work is done. Furthermore, the streets have been filled with kids
looting stores, beating people up, even killing people, and the police don't care. So much fun! The alternative
is a conviction to stand for God-given liberty, respect the law, bear arms, and from time to time refresh the tree of liberty
with the blood of patriots. Who's buying that — especially when your professor tells you people who believe
that stuff are deplorable racists.
House
Democrat's opening prayer ends with 'amen and a-woman'. The 117th Congress kicked off with a fresh controversy
Sunday [1/3/2021] when the Democrat delivering the opening prayer concluded by saying "amen," and then added "a-woman."
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, Missouri Democrat, ended his prayer "in the name of the monotheistic god," then added what sounded
like "Brahma," before finishing with "and god known by many names by many different faiths. Amen and a-woman."
Critics, led by Republican lawmakers, were quick to point out that "amen" means "so be it," and does not refer to the male
gender, while "a-woman" doesn't mean anything.
Proposed
House Rules Seek to Erase Gendered Terms Such as 'Father, Mother, Son, Daughter'. Leaders in the House of
Representatives announced on Friday a rules package for the 117th Congress that includes a proposal to use "gender-inclusive
language" and eliminate gendered terms such as "'father, mother, son, daughter," and more. Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) and Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-Mass.) announced on Friday that the rules package includes changes
that would "honor all gender identities by changing pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender
neutral." A separate announcement from McGovern (pdf) said that the Democratic rules package will make "Changes [to]
pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender neutral or removes references to gender, as appropriate,
to ensure we are inclusive of all Members, Delegates, Resident Commissioners and their families — including those
who are nonbinary."
House
of Representatives rules may be stripped of all gender references. Proposed changes to the rules of the House
of Representatives would "honor all gender identities" by eliminating such specific terms as mother and father, son and
daughter, and aunt and uncle. Instead, only gender-neutral terms such as "parent," "child," "sibling" and "parent's
sibling" would be allowed in the text of the House rules, according to the proposed changes. The proposed
changes — which also include the establishment of a House "Office of Diversity and Inclusion" — will be
voted on after the House convenes Sunday for the new 117th Congress. Another rules change would prevent Republicans
from amending a bill at the last minute, the Washington Examiner reported.
Nancy
Pelosi Bans 'Gender' Terms Like Mother, Daughter, Father, Son in House Rules. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
and Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-MA) unveiled the rules for the 117th Congress on Friday, which contain
"future-focused" proposals, including the elimination of gendered terms, such as "father, mother, son, and daughter."
"This package, which will be introduced and voted on once the new Congress convenes, includes sweeping ethics reforms,
increases accountability for the American people, and makes this House of Representatives the most inclusive in history,"
said the House Committee on Rules in a statement.
How
to Steal an Election in Four Steps. Note the scope of what has happened. When government agencies fake
the lethality of a disease, isolate people, impose lockdowns, and try to cause a recession, when they deceive via
unconstitutional laws, fake polls, mail-in-voting, and rigged software, when the fraud enlists the Centers for Disease
Control, the FBI and CIA, high-level plants within other agencies, state governors & attorneys general, the broadcast media,
& social media — all to take down one man because he's the choice of the people — that's not
"voter fraud." It's an organized coup. Are the Democrats that you know capable of this? Could Pelosi, AOC,
Swalwell and the rest pull this off? Or are just politically-aligned order-takers, like our media and social media,
from, likely, Soros and China, a pair that often work together because they share a common enemy? Today's Democrats are
controlled by far-left Alinskyites who produce tension & chaos, then blame capitalism, racism, & Trump. Look what they
did to us this year. How many Americans did they isolate to sell the virus lie? How much depression and loss of
income did they cause? How many breakups and divorces? How many elderly people had to die alone to serve the
Left's narrative? They even suppressed the effective covid drug hydroxychloroquine for months — they kept
medicine from people who needed it — solely because President Trump had said the drug was effective and they could
not allow Trump to seem to be right about anything. As noted, they suppressed the vaccine as well. The party is
no longer a political opponent; it is a US enemy and the most retrograde force in America.
The
2020 List of the 10 Worst Mayors in the Nation. In celebration of a 2020 that desperately needs to come to an
end, here is a list of the Top 10 Worst Mayors in the nation. These mayors most definitely use Orwell's 1984 as
their policies and procedures manual, if not their Bible. It comes as no surprise that all 10 of the mayors on the list
are Democrat (something about that political party), and that five of the 10 are mayors of West Coast cities (something about
the Pacific Ocean). Several of the mayors have overseen a mass exodus of people from their cities, and even their state
in a 10-month period. But most of all, every one of these mayors stand out as abject failures of governance, with
constituents that literally despise them.
You're It. The idea of Donald Trump as
a cult figure is being used to defame and dismiss a patriot's sense of duty to the republic. It's just another
communist plot to keep those patriots on the sidelines while they continue their all-out assault on the republic through
corrupt government practices, including the election. [...] Now, the Democrats have more aggressive tools at their disposal
like BLM and Antifa and they have used them. They have engaged in anti-white propaganda and racism in order to brand
any patriot as a racist or fascist. One can always count on the communists to accuse one of what they are
themselves. None of this is new. It's the communist playbook by the numbers and they operate by it with no sense
of self-awareness or blushing awkwardness. Communists hammer the opposition and count on sympathizers in the press to
carry their message, when that isn't enough, they send their brownshirts (Antifa) in to break some legs and set fires.
Members of their militant wing are never arrested, or, if so, quickly released. I wonder how many Antifa and BLM were
counting votes for the Democrats. So, why is this any different from the Tea Party? Why would the communists ever
think that they could not do with today's patriot what they did to them? The communists know they will get support from MSM
and the weaklings in the Republican Party, because their success with the Tea Party has enabled all other excesses of government.
Ossoff,
Warnock bankrolled by donors in New York and California. The record-shattering fundraising hauls made by
Georgia Democratic Senate hopefuls Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are being driven by out-of-state donors in liberal cities
like New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, campaign filings show. As Democrats try to claw back control of the
Senate in enormously consequential run-off races on Jan. 5, Ossoff, an investigative journalist, and Warnock, a senior pastor
of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, each raised a stunning $100 million in the last two months, becoming the best-funded
Senate candidates in history. But 95 percent of that money is coming from outside of the Peach State, records show.
GA Dems
Sound Alarm in Senate Race: Running Out of Cash. Imagine how fast they'd spend your money. The two
Democratic candidates for Senate in Georgia's Jan. 5 Senate runoff elections have raised more than $100 million each
in the past two months, but their campaign managers were appealing on Monday [12/28/2020] for even more money — with a
dire warning for liberals if it doesn't come through, according to NBC News. That should be a dire warning for the rest
of America of what could happen if they win. According to NBC, the campaign managers for Democrats Jon Ossoff and the
Rev. Raphael Warnock sent a memo to potential donors "sounding the alarm" about the current state of the financial race.
The Editor says...
The Democrat donors probably aren't very excited about "Reverend" Warnock, who carries more baggage than a Greyhound
bus, and would surely be a national embarrassment if elected to the Senate.
November
2020: The Good Points. [Scroll down] Traditional Democrats have no home in the new Progressive
Party. "Old line" Democrats were good people, real Americans. JFK, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, even a Tip
O'Neill. You could disagree with them about the percentage of the top tax bracket or whether we needed yet another
Federal bureau, but there would never be any question about whether they'd root for America in the Olympics or felt that
Columbus Day was a real holiday. They appreciated America's history and inherent goodness. This is not today's
Harris Progressive. Joe the Plumber — an old-line Democrat — languishes in political no-man's
land today. He works hard, doesn't ask for a handout, maybe belongs to a union, wants to be left alone and wouldn't
mind some Federal student aid so his kids could go to State U. Not a free ride, just some aid. He voted for Trump and
will every time.
Facebook
Censors Ad Highlighting Raphael Warnock's Praise of Jeremiah Wright. Facebook has censored an ad drawing
attention to Democrat senate candidate Raphael Warnock's praise for far-left hate-preacher Jeremiah Wright, [...] The ad was
bought by American Crossroads, a nonprofit linked to Karl Rove. It highlights Warnock's praise for Wright, but was
taken down by Facebook after it was "fact-checked" by Lead Stories, one of Facebook's approved third-party
fact-checkers. Lead Stories claims the ad "leaves out context," because it implies he was "communicating the same
sentiment" as Wright. But Lead Stories also admits that Warnock referred to Wright as a "preacher and a prophet."

Keep
calm, and keep drilling for oil and gas. They claim to be science-based, but anti-fossil fuel campaigners are,
at heart, ignorant and unserious. To understand how, just witness the recent spectacle put on by The North Face, the
clothing company known for its puffy jackets. Perhaps inspired by the Summer of Wokeness, the outfitter decided it
would make a statement on the issue of climate change. With yet another tiresome act of vain virtue-signaling, The
North Face snubbed one of its existing corporate customers, refusing for the first time to produce jackets bearing the
company logo. The reason? Because this West Texas company is in the business of petroleum production. Ah,
but wait a minute — what are North Face jackets made of? Surely, if you haven't guessed it already, you will
not be surprised when you hear that they (like two-thirds of all clothing sold today) are made from petroleum products.
Thus, the geniuses in management at The North Face are effectively boycotting their own suppliers. Brilliant.

Minority Leaders Caught On Call Urging House Reps to Kill Trump's $2000 Check Demand. First no response from
the Republicans on the most obvious and corrupt election in world history and now Congressional Republicans want to stop the
President's wishes for providing more in COVID payments to the people. Joe Biden manufactured 20 million or more votes
in the 2020 election in November to steal the race away from record setter President Trump and the Republicans in the House
and Senate say nothing. Now this same group wants to prevent Americans from receiving more than $600 in payments in a
COVID package? These individuals are not for the people.
The
American Left Has Now Fully Embraced Racism. There is no issue more important to the future and soul of our
nation right now than the leftist bigotry threatening the very concept of what it means to be an American. On the
medical side, Dr. Harald Schmidt, a supposed expert on ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania, told
the New York Times that essential workers, not the elderly, should be the first to receive COVID-19 vaccines. His
reason? "Older populations are whiter," he told the publication. "Society is structured in a way that enables
them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start
to level the playing field a bit." To be clear, the term "level the playing field" here means allowing people to die
because of the color of their skin. What's amazing about this is that just months ago to even question the efficacy of
lockdowns meant to stop the spread of COVID-19 was met with accusations that one was killing grandma. Now, it doesn't
matter because grandma is probably white.
Dem
doc: re-educate Trump voters, purge social conservatives from government. Congressional Democrats back "Secular
America," a group that has sent a 28-page document to the Biden transition team advising him to strip First Amendment rights
from Christians who advocate traditional biblical positions on the sanctity of life, marriage, education, and the nuclear
family, Harbinger's Daily reports. The letter was titled, "Restoring Constitutional Secularism and Patriotic Pluralism
in the White House: Prepared exclusively by Secular Democrats of America PAC for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice
President-elect Kamala Harris Transition Team." The document, presented by Reps Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and Jared Huffman,
D-Calif., and endorsed by Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Calif., states that an incoming Biden administration must "educate the
American public," particularly those identified as the "religious right," on the need to keep their "religious dogma" to
themselves. The document calls for a purge of social conservatives from all levels of government, labeling them as
"white nationalist" and "conspiracy theorists."

Pennsylvania and his health expert, Richard 'Rachel' Levine, were one of the worst offenders. [...] Let's compare and
contrast. 8,047 nursing home residents dead isn't a crisis. But 49 criminals dead is a death sentence. These
are Democrat priorities. Free the criminals and kill the elderly.
Warnock's
baggage at risk of weighing down Ossoff in other Georgia Senate race. Democratic Georgia Senate candidate Jon
Ossoff's losing electoral record has an advantage: The filmmaker's been vetted. The same can't be said of fellow
Democratic Senate contender, Rev. Raphael Warnock. Ossoff and Warnock's Jan. 5 runoffs will decide Senate control
in the next Congress. If both of them win, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will be able to break any 50-50 ties in
the chamber. Given Senate Republicans' current two-seat edge, it seems commonsense that Ossoff and Warnock campaign
together. The problem? Ossoff, who was bested in another high-profile race in 2017, is at risk of being
sandbagged by political dirt that's being heaped on Warnock.

Law Enforcement Officials Say Warnock, Ossoff Will Undermine Police. Top Georgia law enforcement officials and
groups are expressing "serious concern" with Jon Ossoff's and Raphael Warnock's Senate bids, claiming that the pair of
Democrats will push to defund police and hinder officers' ability to serve. Ossoff and Warnock have faced criticism
over a number of anti-police comments. Ossoff in June expressed the need to hold "entire departments accountable,"
arguing that police funding "has to be ... on the line" if officers violate his proposed use-of-force rules. And in a
series of 2015 sermons, Warnock accused police of operating with a "gangster and thug" mentality, adding that he was not
surprised to see officers act like "bullies." Georgia Fraternal Order of Police secretary Steven Gaynor told the
Washington Free Beacon that the Senate hopefuls have done little to reassure law enforcement of their support.

criminals and gained national prominence during riots following the death of George Floyd. The nonprofit pledged to

Democrat Raphael Warnock Called Israel An 'Apartheid' State Occupying Palestine. Democratic Senate Candidate
Raphael Warnock decried Israel as an "apartheid" state during a Palm Sunday sermon in 2015, railing against Israel's

The phrase echoes the words of segregationist George Wallace who called for "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and

Admits: Democrats Weaponized Wuhan Coronavirus Relief. More than 100,000 businesses across the country
have permanently shut their doors as a result of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. Over the past nine months, Republicans
and President Trump have repeatedly offered Democrats trillion dollar relief deals. They were all rejected by House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her colleagues in the Senate. We knew this was for political reasons, after all, to them power
comes before anything else, but we now have additional proof that they were playing games in an election year.
Democrats

are morons, cultists, idiot rednecks. They, on the other hand, are veritable oracles of wisdom. They know so much
more than we do. Their candidates are so much more qualified to hold elective office. Consider the lofty
braininess of AOC, Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib. No Republican can possibly compare to those wise scholars of exactly...
wait for it, exactly nothing, save their vicious anti-Semitism. The squad is hardly alone in their infinite confidence
in their own superiority. How about Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff? The mainstream media is chock full of such
self-appointed luminaries: Wolf Blitzer, Jake Tapper, Chuck Todd, Brian Stelter, Jim Acosta, Chris Wallace, Don Lemon,
Rachel Maddow, et. al. to name a few. Thomas Friedman of the NYT vividly comes to mind. He long ago called

Jenny Durkan announced on Monday that she won't seek reelection. This almost ensures the unthinkable: Seattle
will drift even further to the left. The news didn't come to me as a shock. I have been hearing rumors for the
last couple weeks that Durkan was reconsidering reelection after being rendered powerless by a City Council that repeatedly
stands in her way. After the last Council election, she was left with a majority of members who would never be her
political allies. At the same time, the mayor faced daily political pressure from the city's most vocal and fringe
activists, pressuring her to adopt their dangerous plans, including defunding the police. She attempted to curry their
favor, allowing the notorious "Summer of Love" to continue with the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ).
Kelly Loeffler Asks Radical
Raphael Warnock to Denounce Marxism, His Answer Tells You Everything. During the Georgia Senate debate on
Sunday night [12/6/2020], Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) nailed her far-left Democratic opponent Raphael Warnock with a lot
of his questionable past and radical positions in a variety of questions. Loeffler asked Warnock about his frequent
praise for Marxism and the redistribution of income, and she asked him to denounce Marxism and socialism. He previously
had worked for a church which invited Fidel Castro to the church and praised him. While he claimed to believe in the
free enterprise system, he dodged denouncing the troubling ideologies. How far left are you when you can't condemn
it? When you can't call out the evil it's done? [Video clip]
Joe Biden: Unity, Fraud, and Power.
This appears to be the most far-left presidential administration, if in fact it is inaugurated into existence on Jan. 20 of
next year, in American history, and no one really believes the man putatively elected to lead it actually controls it at
all. And yet the country, which fairly decisively moved to the right — in legislative and other state-level
races, in the House where Republicans captured more than a dozen seats, and in the Senate where only something untoward would
have to happen in the Georgia runoffs for Republicans not to hold a majority despite having to defend 23 of 36 seats —
is asked to unify behind it?
Georgia On
My Mind. In its not-too-distant past, the Democratic Party had two wings. It was strongly anti-Communist,
nationalistic, and many of its members were people of committed religious faith. JFK believed in the creed of "American
Exceptionalism" as much as Ronald Reagan. Today's Democratic Party still has some old-style pro-union liberals who
salivate over the prospect of expanding entitlements but what it doesn't have any longer is a conservative wing. If it
can be said to still have two wings at all they are a socialist wing and a socialist-lite wing. Some of their leaders
like Bernie Sanders, would openly nationalize our economy under direct government control and others like Elizabeth Warren,
who would allow capitalists to create the wealth and then rob them of it. This is why the runoff elections for the U.S.
Senate in the state of Georgia are of supreme importance. The disaster of electing Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock would
be the absence of a conservative brake on the runaway train of left-wing policies.
The
Hijacking of the 2020 Election and the Hate America Strategy. There is a consensus that American society in
2020 is more polarized than at any point in the nation's history. If Joe Biden is inaugurated as President thanks to an
irrefutably fraudulent and choreographed election, then this polarization is irreversible and will ultimately lead to a
permanent fracturing of the country as the central government will be deriving its power from usurpation and not from the
consent of the governed. The sixty-year crusade of the American left and its Hate America Strategy, conceived to
facilitate the ultimate transformation of the nation, will have succeeded in ways they never could have imagined.
How
Liberals Can Destroy Football with COVID, and Why They'd Want To. Football has always been reviled by the
left. It is quintessentially American: invented in this country; played by high-testosterone, masculine men; and
operating almost entirely as a super-competitive meritocracy — i.e., the test of whether someone gets to play in
the NFL is whether he can play, and play better than the other guy. In the NFL in 2020, there's no time to humor
racism or any other "ism" in fielding a winning team; there's only the all-defining imperative priority to put the best
players on the field and "coach 'em up" to play the game well. All of those attributes of the sport are precisely why
it has been so popular in America; it has been aligned with American cultural norms and preferences for decades. The
sport's popularity is in fact proof that America as a whole is not racist — systemically or otherwise.
Americans don't root for their team or watch the NFL in huge numbers based on a team's compliance with racial hiring quotas;
they root and watch because they appreciate the best playing the best using talents that most of us don't have, and deciding
on a level playing field who wins a competitive game and who loses.
When
the Ruling Class Needs to Steal Elections. I think that the "oppressed peoples, allies, white oppressors"
political formula is a cruelly exclusive doctrine that cuts out the great middle of America. No ruling class with half
a brain would go for a political formula like that.
The
Ideology Now Running the Democratic Party Looks Like a Classic Cult. Apart from deliberate projection, which is
regularly used as a political tactic as per Saul Alinsky, there is the more classic and unconscious projection that happens
among true believers of the same ilk. Take a look at what happens when one of those believers is caught telling the
truth about what he'd like to do to Trump voters: DNC member David Atkins openly suggesting that 75 million
Americans need to be "deprogrammed." While Atkins wonders how anyone could be a Trump supporter, many of us wonder how
a leftist who may have been initially attracted to feel-good ideas like "tolerance" and "diversity" could publicly advocate
forceful "deprogramming" of 75 million of his fellow citizens (in refugee camps? concentration camps?) for the sin of
disagreeing with him about a political candidate. How does that happen?
Democrats
Must Regret Messing with Texas. Texas was won by Republican Presidential incumbent Donald Trump by 52% to 46%.
Trump won by more than 600,000 votes among almost 12 million votes cast. Democrats spent incredible sums of money
trying to turn the state legislative chambers of Texas blue and failed miserably. Democrats targeted 22 races in hopes
of turning at least nine to their side and flipping the chamber. They got zero. Wendy Davis also lost her congressional
race despite being the Democrat standard bearer at one time for the governor's race. The most shocking Democrat loss was
Zapata County — just north of the Rio Grande Valley along the border — by 6 points, 53% Trump to
47% for Biden. The county is 94% Hispanic.
The
ungrateful left launches a war on Thanksgiving. There has been a lot of talk among campus progressives in
recent years about the need to "decolonize" Thanksgiving. For example, the University of Oregon held an event titled
"Thanks, But No Thanks-giving," the description of which read in part: "Thanksgiving is, foundationally speaking, a
celebration of the ongoing genocide against native peoples and cultures across the globe." [...] The Huffington Post recently
suggested that Thanksgiving be cancelled due to its large carbon footprint. Ironically, the coddled and entitled, like
many students and professors on college campuses, are often the least grateful. Those who seem to have everything are
often the least thankful. Rich, spoiled Hollywood types foam at the mouth (when they're not stuffing it with caviar and
expensive champagne), railing against Trump and his supporters and/or a laundry list of supposed "systemic" injustices
inherent to the country that has allowed them to get rich pretending to be someone they're not. Meanwhile, those in
"flyover country" with comparatively little are often deeply thankful for what they do have, and grateful to be living in the
United States of America.
Joe
Biden urges nation to 'forgo family traditions' on Thanksgiving. President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday
[11/25/2020] called on Americans not to gather with extended families for Thanksgiving, saying it was a "patriotic duty" to
limit the spread of COVID-19. Biden said during an at times campaign-like speech in Wilmington, Del., that he and his
family were setting an example by not celebrating the holiday as a large group.
The
Difficult Way Forward. Republicans are still playing the old politics about governmental efficiency and
improving the American people's lives. The Democrats are trying to destroy America and assume unlimited power over the
American people. Republicans do everything within the confines of the Constitution and law. The Democrats are
lawless and recognize no standard or precedent. We should not persist in thinking of today's Democrats as the American
political party of old: Andrew Jackson, FDR, Harry Truman, [JFK], etc. It is a radical atheist revolutionary party,
more akin to the Nazi Party of Germany or the Communist Party of the Soviet Union than the Republican Party of today.
The Democrats are utterly corrupt, power mad, and pitiless. They are trying to destroy the institutions of its country
and replace them with totalitarianism. They do not wish to serve the American people, for whom they have nothing but
contempt; they wish to enslave us. We have to stop thinking that what we are experiencing today is still normal
politics. This is a war against evil and for national survival, nothing less.
Fighting
Words. Democrats are not democrats; they are totalitarians. They have declared war on the First
Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Electoral College, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the election system, and the idea of
civil order. They have called for the Republican President of the United States to be de-platformed and jailed.
Their obvious goal is a one-party state that criminalizes dissent. To them, support for such basic necessities as
borders and law enforcement are racist. If you oppose their efforts to legalize infanticide, they will condemn you as
enemies of women, and if you make videos of their confessions to selling body parts of murdered infants, they
will — like Kamala Harris — throw you in jail. Progressives are not progressive; they are
reactionaries. They are out to abolish liberal value systems and create a status hierarchy where race, gender, and
sexual orientation define and confine you to an unalterable place in their new social order. If you are white or male
or heterosexual or religious — Justice Kavanaugh was all four — you are guilty before the fact.
 Webster's New World College Dictionary, Third Edition, 1997, page 92.
"Burn
It Down". American cities are entering a period of chaos. Protests and riots have dominated headlines,
but beneath the surface, activists are launching an unprecedented campaign to overthrow the traditional justice system and
replace it with a new model based on a radical conception of social justice. In Seattle, where this campaign may be
most advanced, activists have crafted a narrative about police brutality, mass incarceration, and punitive justice that leads
to a natural sequence of solutions: "abolish the police," "divest from prisons," and "defund the courts." Over the
past three decades, the city's radical-progressives have seized control of municipal government — with the notable
exception of the criminal-justice system, which they see as the final obstacle to total control. If they can dismantle
it, activists believe, they can bring about their transformation of society.
New
York Magazine Art Critic Seems to Advocate Genocide of Republicans. As Townhall colleague Kurt Schlichter has
been known to say, never forget they, that is the left, want you dead. This is not hyperbole; it is becoming clearer by
the day that the desire to consign roughly half of the nation to reeducation camps or mass graves is so prevalent on the left
that when they do, as they say, "say the quiet part out loud," no one on the left is shocked. There are no calls for
toning down rhetoric or disavowals of the proposals. Just a couple of days ago, a prominent California Democrat said
that Republicans needed to undergo "deprogramming." Presumably, this was to make us think, against all evidence, that
socialism is a viable economic theory, that same-sex marriage is normal, and that giving little kids life-altering drugs and
surgery to change their sex is good parenting.
Georgia Democrat Raphael Warnock
Is Not Being Opposed Because of His Faith but Because He Is Anti-American and Has Bad Ideas. In Georgia, the
Democrats are running scared. While they seem to have successfully stolen the presidential election thanks to the
fecklessness of the Republican secretary of state Brad Raffensperger, who abjectly failed at virtually any part of his job
that concerned election security, the GOP seems well-positioned for the coming runoff/special election. David Perdue is
about 100,000 votes ahead of Jon Ossoff. The electorate is fired up. [...] [Kelly] Loeffler is something of an
unknown. She had a bruising primary that a real political party would never have let take place and which may have
damaged her standing with supporters of her opponent. And she has a telegenic, if somewhat smarmy, opponent in the
Reverend Raphael Warnock. Because of this race's visibility, Warnock is getting a good look in the bright sunlight and
what is being seen is not very flattering. [Video clip]
Biden
to 'Racist' Trump Voters: 'Let's Heal'. After four years of attacking President Donald Trump as "illegitimate,"
"fascist," "Nazi," "tyrant," "dictator," "racist," "anti-Semitic," "Russian stooge," "traitor," "grifter," "xenophobe,"
"sexist," "homophobe," "ignorant," "fat" and "lazy," Former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive president-elect, now
says, "Let's heal." [...] Well, that's lovely. But please forgive Trump supporters for not being in a mood to "heal."
How bogus was the Trump-Russia collusion investigation that consumed most of the Trump presidency? Neither Joe Biden
nor Kamala Harris bothered to mention it during the campaign. Ditto for Trump's impeachment. Deputy Attorney
General Rod Rosenstein and former FBI Director James Comey now admit that, knowing then what they know now, they would not
have signed off on FISA warrants that were crucial to the investigation.
Georgia Senate Candidate Raphael Warnock, Continues To Spew Hateful Bigoted Comments.
The list of Georgia Democrat Raphael Warnock's hateful, racist comments continues to grow[.] [...] For those keeping score:
• Warnock defended anti-Semite and anti-American pastor Jeremiah Wright and praised Marxism.
• Warnock's mentor called for the "destruction of everything white" and argued white Christians are "satanic."
• Warnock signed a letter comparing Israel to apartheid South Africa.
• Warnick claimed that "Americans Must 'Repent' for Backing Trump and 'Worship of Whiteness.'
• Warnock called police officers "gangsters and thugs" and "bullies."
• Warnock cozied up to Fidel Castro in 1995.
• Earlier this year, Warnock was accused by his wife of running over her foot with his car after they got into an argument.
• In 2002, Warnock was accused of hindering a police investigation into child abuse.
• Warnock criticized the Second Amendment during sermons.
• He's also an Anti-Semite. Just ask former Democratic New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikand: [Video clip]
Ilhan Omar Tries to Explain
Bible Scripture to Marco Rubio to Defend Raphael Warnock, It Doesn't Go Well. [Scroll down] One such
comment that excited negative attention was [Rev. Raphael] Warnock saying during a sermon that "You cannot serve the
military and God," as we reported earlier. It's a comment that's not likely to go over well in Georgia which has a lot
of military installations including military who like to think they serve both God and their country. [...] But of course
that isn't scripture, nowhere does it say "You cannot serve God and the military." Nor does it say "You cannot serve God and
dmoney." What the heck is "dmoney?" The exact quote is "mammon" meaning riches or wealth. Not the military.
So what are the GOP lying about, Rep. Omar? They're quoting something wrong and disgusting that Warnock said.
That's not lying, that's correctly calling him out. What she doesn't like is she knows it's an attack that's going to
stick. It also tells us something about Warnock that Omar is willing to go to bat for him. That's not helpful for
him in Georgia which isn't looking to move to the radical left or turn socialist.
Kelly
Loeffler Demands Raphael Warnock Apologize for Saying You Can't Serve God and the Military. Senator Kelly
Loeffler (R-GA) has demanded her Democratic opponent Rev. Raphael Warnock apologize for comments he made in a 2011
sermon about God and the military. Loeffler and Warnock will contest one of two Senate runoff elections in Georgia on
January 5. Republican Senator David Perdue will face Democrat Jon Ossoff in the second race on the same day.
A video of Warnock's sermon has resurfaced on YouTube and Loeffler shared a clip on Twitter on Wednesday [11/18/2020].
Pushing
'defund the police,' BLM turned its success into electoral disaster. Black Lives Matter came up with the single
most effective political slogan of the year. While no one was likely to be overly impressed with Joe Biden's line
"Build Back Better," and President Trump's "Keep America Great" or "Make America Great Again, Again" didn't have the
resonance of the original 2016 version, BLM broke through the clutter with a catchphrase that was memorable,
pungent — and utterly devastating to Democrats. After a surprising Tory victory in the British parliamentary
election in 1992, the pro-Tory tabloid The Sun famously boasted, "It's the Sun Wot Won It." In the same spirit, it could be
said that in this year's congressional election, "It's 'Defund the Police' Wot Lost It."
Trying to
Think Ahead. [Scroll down] So why do they need bushels of Dominion votes in four Democrat
cities — Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta — to win Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and
Georgia? Why the thirty-year effort of the Dems to relax the rules on voting, from Motor Voter to the present
vote-by-mail? Why is it necessary to game the vote — even steal an election? Why is it necessary to
hound a duly-elected president with a Special Prosecutor and goose up an impeachment over a phone call, and blast him throughout
the COVID-19 epidemic? Why is it necessary to call your opponent's systemic racists 50 years after the civil rights
acts? Why is it necessary to censor social media, bearded @jack? Why is it necessary to hide Hunter Biden's
influence peddling? I thought you guys already owned the future. The answer is obvious. People don't cheat
unless they are about to lose everything, wife, house, job, children. So, whatever brave front the Dems are putting on
they know in their heart of hearts that the game is nearly up.

Impeachment
backfired on Nancy. Charlie Cook, Larry Sabato, and the rest of the cable news experts on American elections
all agreed. Democrats would add 10, 15, and maybe even 20 seats to their majority. Hahaha. Matt Vespa
reported, "We have over a dozen races that have yet to be called. Yes, some places are still counting those mail-in
ballots. In some races, they still have a long way to go. Overall, this week has been terrible for House
Democrats. They were projected to pick up 10-15 seats. They're probably going to lose 10[,] maybe more. [...]"
[...] The progressive communists in their memo just did not get it. No one cares what ice cream a rich old lady
eats. We have ice cream too. There is nothing in her freezer the average American cannot buy. Whilst
progressives talk up the working-class concerns, the fact is they are the biggest elitists in the world. They are out
of touch. They hate large pickups, canned beer, and guns.
Biden's Empty
Words Won't Unify This Nation. Joe Biden says he wants unity and promises to be a president that represents all
Americans not just Democrats. "Let's give each other a chance," he told his supporters at a rally in Delaware on Nov. 7.
"It's time to put away the harsh rhetoric. To lower the temperature. To see each other again. To listen to each
other again. To make progress we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy," he said. "We are not enemies.
We are Americans." A well-scripted sentiment that's out of touch with our deeply divided nation as the Democratic Party and
its media allies have spent the past four years calling Donald Trump's supporters racist — and every other repugnant
smear you can think of. That's not exactly a way to win over half the country and heal the nation.
The Editor says...
Where was all this soothing rhetoric when the Biden Voters were conducting the summer riots?
Calls
for 'Unity' [are] Really Calls for Capitulation. Political unity is an ugly, authoritarian idea. No free
place has domestic political unity, nor should it aspire to it. What "unity" really means, of course, is
capitulation. America is once again being subjected to the inane brand of pseudo-patriotic sloganeering we saw during
President Barack Obama's tenure. Now, as then, the media will pretend that the moral fabric of the nation must be
mended after Republican rule. It's pretty transparent. When Democrats win the presidency, we are treated to
solemn calls for national restoration and political harmony, and to the expectation that, for the good of the nation, the
opposition will embrace decorum and pass legislation they oppose. When Republicans win elections, grown women put on
knitted hats depicting their reproductive organs and stomp around Washington protesting, all to a hero's welcome.
'Unity'
is the Carrot and the Schtick of Democrats. Having gotten their way following a four-year long tantrum of
"norm"-breaking sedition — despicable smears, the governmentally weaponized Russiagate lie, a sham impeachment,
all aided and abetted by a disgracefully partisan elitist media — the latest schtick of the Democratic grifter
class is "unity." But unity isn't for everyone. Taking their lead from that consummate con man, former Vice
President Joe Biden, the Democrats' grifter class is proffering a return to the halcyon days when the "uniparty" ruled the
swamp for fun and profit — theirs, not yours. Of course, the Left isn't extending their olive branch to the
true populists they've libeled and slandered as "Nazis." This is a carrot shared only between elitists:
Democratic grifters are inviting their fellow GOP grifters to jump back into the swamp and scratch their backs for a buck.
Joe
Biden's Majority Doesn't Work Full Time, Stay Married or Go To Church. A week after the 2020 presidential
election, one thing is obvious about the United States of America: It is deeply divided. [...] But, according to the
exit polls, there were some demographic groups that did pick Trump over Biden. Who were they? For starters,
according to the network exit poll published by ABC News, there was the divide between people who worked full time and those
who did not. The exit poll asked the question: "Do you work full-time for pay?" Voters who said no went for
Biden over Trump by 57% to 42%. By contrast, voters who said they did work full time picked Trump over Biden 51% to 47%.
Why do people who don't work full time prefer Biden? Why do those who do prefer Trump? Is it a good sign for the
long-term well-being of the United States that the popular-vote winner in our presidential election was preferred by those
who do not work full time and not by those who do?
Democrat
Raphael Warnock Repeatedly Praised Jeremiah Wright, Marxism. Georgia Senate Democrat candidate Raphael Warnock
has praised the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright on many occasions and praised Marxism as a way to "teach the black
church." During the 2008 presidential election, Warnock appeared on Fox News to defend Wright after it was discovered
that then-presidential candidate Barack Obama had close ties to the reverend. Warnock hopes to unseat Sen. Kelly
Loeffler (R-GA) during the January Senate runoff election. During his March 2008 appearance on Fox News, he told host
Greta Van Susteren that Wright's legacy as a pastor was "social transformation that's been the hallmark of Rev. Jeremiah
Wright's ministry."
Did
someone mention Jeremiah Wright?
Tlaib
lashes out at centrist Dems over election debacle: 'I can't be silent'. Rashida Tlaib isn't apologizing for
wanting to yank money away from bad police departments. She has no second thoughts about her embrace of the Black Lives
Matter movement, or for wanting to aggressively fight climate change. House Democrats lost seats instead of expanding
their majority, underperforming expectations across the board. And moderates have pounced on liberals like Tlaib, the
Michigan congresswoman, accusing them of handing conservatives a set of slogans and policies to scare voters.
No Truth, No
Unity! The Democrats live in a fantasy world. It's a world in which higher taxes create jobs and
prosperity, a world where central control of complex systems produces efficiency, a world where groveling weakness results in
international respect and peace. To those old and longstanding fantasies, they've added a couple of new ones: a world
in which they can sow discord and division and reap acceptance and unity, and a world where the lies they tell will be
trusted as the truth. After refusing to accept the results of the 2016 presidential election and throwing a four-year
temper tantrum, they're now calling on the county to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election and come together
as a country. On top of that they want us all to regard as true the results of an election they have worked so hard to steal.
WSJ:
Democrats Lost South Texas Latinos Due to Shutdowns, Oil, And Abortion. The chairman of the Texas Democratic
Party said the red wave that moved through South Texas's Starr County was due to three issues critical to Latino voters in
that area: pandemic shutdowns, oil industry jobs, and abortion. According to a report at the Wall Street Journal (WSJ)
Sunday, the idea that Starr County would have 8,224 residents vote for President Donald Trump is mindboggling.
Democratic
Senator Sparks Progressive Backlash After Refusing to Back Court Packing. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin drew
the ire of progressives on Monday night after he pledged not to vote against his own party on Supreme Court packing or ending
the filibuster, even if the Senate were to be split 50-50 in the wake of Georgia's runoff races. Appearing on Fox News,
the U.S. senator from West Virginia said he would "not vote" with Democrats on those key issues if the Senate were split down
the middle — effectively offsetting Kamala Harris' deciding vote as vice president.
Sen.
Joe Manchin vows to vote against 'crazy stuff' if Democrats take Senate. Sen. Joe Manchin is pledging to
block major progressive legislative goals if Democrats retake the Senate. Speaking to Fox News' "Special Report" Monday
[11/9/2020], Manchin (D-W.Va.) made the promise while discussing the future of the upper chamber of Congress, and how the
100-member body was facing a down-the-middle split between Democrats and Republicans. If Democrats are successful in
their two Senate runoff races in Georgia in January, bills in the Senate could be moved by a single vote. "50-50 [control]
means that if one senator does not vote on the Democratic side, there is no tie and there is no bill," the West Virginia
Democrat said.
Joy
Reid's response to 70 million Trump voters came in a deranged rant that every Conservative should hear. [Scroll
down] The unhinged rant that Reid would engage in should be preserved for prosperity and studied at a future date when
America emerges from the post-Obama era where truth has been laid to waste. A deranged anti-Trump rant that has taken
place every single day on network after network for four years running, poisoning the minds of those easily manipulated by
political hucksters. "We have had four years of mass deaths," Reid spewed, there not being a trace of truthfulness in
the claim. "240,000 of our fellow Americans have died and Donald Trump was vowing to kill another several million of us
through herd immunity. He didn't care about the dead." For those concerned about the compromising of the integrity
of our elections, such irresponsible rantings are having a crippling effect on our nation. And Reid was just getting
started with her baseless accusations and outright lies against a man whose greatest sin in her eyes may be that he's a white male.
The True
Deplorables. With the manufactured "news" that Pennsylvania and Nevada have been called for Joe Biden by news
media, liberals celebrating the supposed victory of the purported 46th president took to the streets in euphoria and
revelry. It seems logical to assume that many of today's celebrants were also participants in the street protests four
years ago when Donald Trump beat their gal Hillary. Hillary Clinton made the fatal mistake of revealing the way she
truly thought of half of the American population that supported Trump by calling them "a basket of deplorables." And
the next four years we witnessed the greatest revolt in our nation's history since the Civil War. The half of the country
that supported Hillary refused to accept the results of the election and have been protesting — often violently —
ever since.
'Resist.
Overturn. Boycott. Surveil. Leak. Impeach. And NOW they tell us it's time to
heal.' Then-VP Joe Biden remained silent about national solidarity after Donald Trump won the presidency in
2016 and never asked the so-called Resistance to dial back their rage, former Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz recalled.
"Never heard a peep from him about unity." In an Op-Ed for the Fox News website, Chaffetz observed that Biden's
convenient appeal for healing along with his claim that "the better angels of America are back" just constitute empty,
meaningless rhetoric. "And just like that, 'Resistance' is no longer in fashion. The rules have been
rewritten. When Democrats hold power, we must be unified, and our opposition must be silent. Not to be confused
with the rules when Republicans hold power — which are that Resistance is as American as apple pie," Chaffetz
explained about the apparent double-standard.
The Next
2020 Loser: The Woke Utopia. Earlier today [11/7/2020], we discussed how one of the biggest losers of the
2020 elections might have been the public's faith in the electoral process. Continuing on with the list of also-rans,
the editors at the Washington Free Beacon dug into some of the ballot issues that were decided this week, along with the
identity politics driving various demographics to the polls. Their conclusion is that one of the most damaged entities
coming out of this race is the woke utopia envisioned by the Democrats' furthest-left agitators, which seems to have been
roundly rejected by voters even as they threatened to end the Trump presidency. And this effect was noted in some
unlikely places such as California.
American
Coup Victims Will Not Go Quietly. This was a Coup. It lacked, at least for the moment, the spilled blood
often associated with a classic coup d'etat but make no mistake about it — this was a coup. A record
number of Americans fought an unusual number of hardships to make certain their voices were heard in the selection of our
next president. And, given the stark difference in the candidates' visions for America's future and the growing
national divide, that choice was surely not made lightly. So, when we on the right observed one "irregularity"
after another on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, what we needed were answers and transparency. What we got were
evasions and coverups. Keep in mind that we have endured over the past 4 years a seeming century's worth of dishonesty,
hoaxes, threats, wild conspiracy theories and widespread corruption from those on the left. Indeed, Liberals appear to
have made sport of treating Donald Trump and his supporters much like a cat treats a litter-box. And we got the
message: There is no limit to just how low they are willing to sink.
The
left is again showing that it can't stand anyone who disagrees. This year's presidential election hasn't
provided the catharsis that many on the left were awaiting. Instead of the hoped-for "Blue Wave," we have a
still-too-close-to-call presidential election, while Republicans picked up House seats and appear to have held on to the
Senate. One response might be self-criticism: to wonder how, after four years of single-mindedly trying to get rid
of Trump and marginalize his followers, things didn't go better. Instead, Democrats' thinkers seem to be asking
themselves variations on "How can I live in a country where half the people supported Donald Trump?" According to the
Campus Reform Web site, professors around America were expressing anger and claiming to feel "genuinely unsafe, given the
sheer number of people willing to vote for Trump." Some canceled classes for the rest of the week, apparently because
of the emotional strain.
The Democrats' Chickens Come Home to
Roost. Had the media been honest, the Democrats would have realized that their Pelosi-Ocasio-Bernie crazy talk
about ending the filibuster, packing the courts, ending the electoral college, and making Puerto Rico and D.C. into states
was scaring even Independents. If there had been honest polls warning them of voter wariness of their socialism,
leading Democrats would have been more coy, as Biden was during the campaign. They would have moderated their boasts of
what they planned to do, been more prudent and politic, reserving those plans furtively for after the elections.
Instead, the false polls bolstered their confidence.
Woke Faced the
Voters — and Lost. In a week of surprises, California's rejection of a ballot measure that would
have allowed the state to resume its affirmative action program was among the most significant. The measure, known as
Proposition 16, wasn't defeated by shy Trump voters. Polling showed Hispanic and other minority voters evenly split on
the measure, and on Tuesday it was defeated in California's most Latino counties. California's result is just one piece
of the mounting evidence that voters on Tuesday threw a wrench in the progressive plan to leverage a "coalition of the
ascendant" and an "emerging Democratic majority" to turn the country into a woke utopia.
A
Civil War Is Already Happening, Inside the Democrat Party. A civil war is brewing, but Trump supporters are not
running into the streets to fight antifa. Instead, the civil war has been brewing in the Democrat Party and now there
are shots fired as moderates you have never heard of pay the price for the Squad's radical rhetoric. [...] Rather than
comfortably retaking the Senate as anticipated, Democrats may find Mitch McConnell and Republicans maintain the
majority. Instead of Democrats adding to the majority in the House, Republicans have added up to 10 seats back to their
caucus. And the carnage in state governments across the country is palpable. It will leave Democrats out in the
cold when congressional districts are redrawn following the 2020 Census.
House
Democrats Suffer a Catastrophe that Will Blow Up Their Party. House Democrats went into Election Day supremely
confident that they were going to put another nail in the Republicans' coffin. They had outraised and outspent
Republican candidates across the board. They felt the issues of the pandemic response and Obamacare favored them. [...]
But the polls were wrong. They were very wrong. So when reality hit Nancy Pelosi and her caucus this
morning, they realized they hadn't gained a single seat in Congress. In fact, as of noon Wednesday, Democrats had lost
five seats and were trailing in several others. What happened? It turns out that the American people prefer to
vote for candidates who aren't radical leftists hellbent on "transforming" the country. Why this comes as a surprise to
Democrats — who believe that many of their more outrageous proposals like the Green New Deal and Medicare for All
are ready to be embraced by the electorate — is a mystery.
Biden
Family Corruption Does Matter. The New Yorker's famed film critic was an early observer of America's growing
culture gap. "I only know one person who voted for Nixon," she said. "Where they are I don't know. They're
outside my ken. But sometimes when I'm in a theater I can feel them." Today, elites smell them. That is what
disgraced FBI man Peter Strzok actually said after a trip to Walmart, and he and his ilk recoil, naturally, from the plebian
aroma. But theirs is the nose of a sommelier, not a hunting dog. It failed to sniff out the social movement that
elected Donald Trump in 2016, and today it is missing the rage sweeping about half the country. The fury comes from
folks who don't subscribe to the New York Times, let alone the New Yorker, and who don't habituate yoga studios while
carrying NPR tote bags, either.
Biden
stumbles through another campaign speech: "America is dead because of COVID-19". Biden's America is a
very dark place. At least half of the country is populated with racist chumps, ugly people, labeled as such simply for
voting for Donald Trump in 2016, according to Joe Biden. During the final presidential debate, Biden told the audience
that "We're about to go into a dark winter. A dark winter." He was talking about the president's plan for the
coronavirus as we move forward in the coming months. Biden's message is one of doom and gloom. In comparison,
Trump's message is meant to be an uplifting one, a message that will inspire voters. He frequently tells rally
audiences that the best is yet to come.
Eight
hard questions for the Democrats. [#1] Why are you opposing respected American traditions and Constitutional
freedoms? Why such anti-Americanism in your convention platform and in numerous acts and statements of policy?
Why opposition to the rights to assembly, to worship, to freedom of speech, to the right to bear arms, to the Electoral
College? Why support for open borders, for Medicare for illegal aliens, for abolishing ICE? Why support for "defunding
the police" and then support for violent rioting and looting? Why support for packing the Supreme Court and for minting
new "states" for political advantage? You Democrats are even endorsing the enormities of the "transgender" movement,
where people can supposedly change their sex by flipping a mental switch, and enter women's bathrooms or be transferred to
women's prisons at will.
Trump
will win again, then comes the hard part. Unlike Hillary, Biden cannot credibly warn that Trump is a nutcase
who will push the Red Button to annihilate the world. Trump has been president for nearly four years and the world is
more peaceful than it's been in decades. The man has been nominated four times for the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump
has shown he's not a violent nut, while Biden has shown he is cognitively impaired. Speaking of violent
nuts, the media initially gave a lot of coverage to the "mostly peaceful protests" because they thought they hurt Trump.
Then they figured out that people not only don't like riots, they also don't like rioters — and nearly all the
rioters are Democrats. So the media cut back on their riot coverage. But there are still riots, people know that,
and people know that the rioters are Democrats. Contrary to conventional Democrat "wisdom," minorities don't like the
riots any more than the rest of America does — maybe even less since the riots are often in minority neighborhoods.
And they, too, know that the rioters — many of whom are privileged whites — are Democrats.
Many this time plan to vote against these rioters and their Democrat sympathizers.
Voting Against
Evil. There has never been a clearer divide between the two major candidates running for president when it
comes to their spiritual essence. The Republican incumbent, Donald Trump, never fails to utter the name of God in just
about every campaign speech, while some Democrats blatantly removed His name from the Pledge of Allegiance at their
convention this year. Who can forget that at the 2012 Democrat convention the crowd booed when God and Jerusalem were
put back in the Democrat platform? In 2016, they heckled and jeered when a minister, Rev. Cynthia Hale, opened the
convention with a Christian prayer for Hillary Clinton. Bernie delegates screamed out his name instead of respecting
the solemnity of the moment. Joe Biden, the Democrat candidate, professes to be a Roman Catholic, yet like all the
other faux Catholic Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, still approves abortion on demand up to delivery. That is infanticide
and pure wickedness.
Oregon's
Public Health Authority Announces Covid Deaths While Dressed as a Clown. In what has to be one of the most
bizarre and mind-warping decisions of all time, Claire Poche, a senior official of the Oregon Health Authority gave a Covid
update today while wearing a complete clown costume. The makeup, the red tie, the polka dots. The whole
thing. It's hard to even express how awkward this is. [Video clip]
An
Honest Ad From Your Democratic Party Spokesperson (Parody). Here's your Democratic 'Spokesperson' with a
brutally honest message for Americans about the great reasons to vote for Joe Biden and other wonderful Democratic candidates
this November. BlazeTV's Allie Stuckey demonstrated a kind demeanor that perfectly showcased her destruction of the
values and principles upheld by the Democratic party in 2020. "You know us as the party of love, tolerance, and
compassion, but we're much more than that. We're the party of science, and the science is clear," Allie said with a
smile. She then listed gender issues, abortion rights, and vaccines (which are only successful if created when Trump
isn't president). [Video clip]
The
Democratic Party is the Dark Winter. We have to believe that most Americans haven't cast off common sense [...]
But for voters on the fence — as inexplicable as that is — let's evaluate what the Democratic Party is
showing us about itself. Biden's claim in the last debate that the U.S. is moving toward a dark winter, thanks to
COVID, was revealing. It exposed more than Biden's cynicism in trying to manipulate people's fear of the virus, it
exposed an irony. The dark winter tag speaks to the Democratic Party's condition, not America's. Democrats are
ominous. Their worldview is antithetical to the American experience, and it's rotted. Worse is that they're
destructive. We see it in their language and actions. 2020 is showcasing the Democrats accelerating descent into a
mean-spirited, grudge-filled aggression toward traditional America — the America of the Revolution and the founding.
Ilhan
Omar says Squad will influence Biden administration: 'A lot of our feedback was incorporated'. Rep. Ilhan
Omar said in a new interview that she's confident she and other members of "The Squad" will be able to push Joseph R. Biden
to the left if he's elected president next week. Speaking to "Axios on HBO," the Minnesota Democrat said she and other
progressives such as Sen. Bernard Sanders and Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley
were able to shape Mr. Biden's campaign platform and that they expect that influence to continue in a possible Biden
administration. "There has been a level of responsiveness ... to the policies that we are advocating for that we know
will have not just a future in his administration, but a future in the upcoming administrations after his," Mrs. Omar said.
A Time for
Choosing. Here we are again, just days away from another presidential election in 2020, and the American people
still find ourselves facing many of the same concerns, and challenges that Reagan warned us about fifty-six years ago.
Once again, the contrast between the two candidates could not be more clear. One is a career politician (with mounting
evidence that he improperly used his office as vice president to enrich his family), the other a businessman. As
President Donald Trump said at his RNC Speech, "This election will decide whether we will defend the American Way of Life, or
whether we allow a radical movement to completely dismantle and destroy it."
Trumpism: Then,
Now — and in the Future? [Scroll down] Aside from fundamental changes in foreign and
democratic policy, and renewed emphasis on class instead of race, Trumpism changed the political dialectic. Of course,
Trump could be crude, even at times bullying and profane. But much of his braggadocio and vulgarity were designed as
chemotherapy to kill the cancer of the administrative state and the lock-hold on permanent government by the revolving-door,
bipartisan coastal elite. The reasons why Trump just days after his inauguration faced a failed impeachment, or calls
for his removal by the 25th Amendment, or even talk of a military coup, or the Steele dossier hoax that led to a $40 million,
22-month effort by progressives to destroy his presidency, his person and his family, were manifold. But one cause
surely was that Trump was orphaned from the hard-Left Democratic Party and the Republican establishment and seemed either to
welcome the ostracism or not be fully cognizant of the cost that it entailed.
People
are dropping the software company @Expensify after the CEO urged every customer to vote for Joe Biden. David
Barrett, CEO of the software company Expensify, is under fire after he sent an email to every one of his customers and urged
them to vote for Joe Biden: [Tweet] SEE YA: People are dropping the software company @Expensify after
the CEO urged every customer to vote for Joe Biden[.] According to Barrett, he didn't act alone and he had feedback
from others at the company.
Too
many Democrats are creepily suggesting Trump voters should be jailed. Trump voters beware: your ballot could
get you jailed after January 20, 2021. If Joe Biden wins the presidency, and takes the oath of office with one hand on
Abraham Lincoln's Bible (hopefully not Das Kapital or Kendi's How to Be an Antiracist), open season may be
declared on any American morally obtuse enough to believe that 45 deserved four more years. "Trump must be defeated ...
and his enablers, and his supporters ... must be prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society," ranted the always
hot-blooded Keith Olbermann. The former MSNBC anchor traffics in caustic bombast, and this declaration was not very
different from his usual huffy diatribes against Republicans. But the notion of revenge is going mainstream.
Biden
lectures us on character? C'mon man! There can no longer be any doubt that the Democrats put party before
country, politics before ethics and virtue. One only has to read Robert Reich or listen to his intellectual peer Keith
Olbermann to know that the Democrat party has morphed into totalitarianism. Democrats vow to punish their opponents if
Biden is elected. Reich recommends "truth and reconciliation" camps, taking his cue from South Africa. How's that
for tyranny? It is well and truly frightening. The left has been steering us in this direction for decades, and
it must be stopped if America is to survive.
Joe
Biden tweets out that America is 'an idea' and 'we've never lived up to it'. How's this for the most offensive
political ad of the year? [...] Note that this isn't from his enemies, his party, his creepy allies, something that occurred
years ago, or some kind of foreign disinfomation, this is straight from Joe, put out there on Twitter to entice Americans to
give him their votes, in his big final push to squeeze the last of them. [...] No wonder Biden hides in his basement.
The more he speaks, the less there is to like.
New
Biden Ad Causes Uproar; 'America Was An Idea, We Never Lived Up To It'. Joe Biden released a questionable new
ad saying that America "never lived up" to it's ideals, and he's getting absolutely hammered for it on Twitter.
"America was an idea. We've never lived up to it but we've never walked away from it before," the caption said above
Biden's new ad. Apparently hundreds of years of brave military heroes fighting for our freedoms... the 9/11 first
responders, ending slavery and defeating communism isn't "living up" to greatness, according to Joe Biden.
Vile
Scarborough: You're 'Un-American' If You Vote for Trump. While most left-wing journalists try to channel
all their anger at President Trump, they will occasionally go straight to the punch and just start attacking people who
support him. On Tuesday morning [10/20/2020], the co-hosts of MSNBC's Morning Joe scolded American voters who
dare, for any reason, to vote for Trump. With Election Day exactly two weeks away, and millions of Americans already
voting, co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski decided it was time to launch a brutal verbal assault against Trump
supporters. Apparently triggered by Trump speaking publicly about the Biden family's alleged corruption on Monday,
Scarborough whined that it's unacceptable to vote for him for any reason.
Young
American Woman Explains It All In Less Than One Minute: The Reason Why We Are Voting for Trump is "We Can't Stand
You!" A young woman explained everything about this election in less than one minute. If you can't stand
Trump here is our reply: ["]If you are liberal and can't stand Trump and can't possibly fathom why anyone would vote
for him, let me fill you in. We can't stand you. You've done everything in your power by trying to destroy this
country by tearing down our police, our borders, our history, systematically destroying our schools and brainwashing our kids
into thinking socialism is the answer to everything. Demonizing religion and faith and glorifying abortion, violence
and thug culture. And calling us racists... We are voting for Trump because of you!["]
Democratic Civil War.
Donald Trump may still sit in the White House, but America seems increasingly submissive to the rule of the Democrats.
The Party now enjoys predominant influence over mainstream media, rising influence among wealthy elites, a stranglehold over
education and entertainment industries, and the domination of the burgeoning non-profit world. Remarkably the
self-styled "party of the people" now accommodates the big Wall Street firms and tech oligarchies alongside the progressive,
neo-socialist, activist base and an ever-diminishing remnant of traditional working-class voters. This powerful
coalition is also a fundamentally unstable one — a three-headed hydra whose heads, particularly after Trump
leaves, will soon be biting each other furiously. One faction, the corporatist elite, genuflects and even profits from
the progressive mantra on climate, gender, and race. Some, like former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, are so committed to
gentry progressivism that he recently suggested those who don't get with the program could "face a firing squad."
The
virus is all they've got and they're clinging to it. President Trump's energy infects his supporters with
optimism. He loves America, they love America. He brought the economy back from the brink, where the Obama/Biden
administration had purposefully kept it. He has successfully stopped the massive illegal immigration that was
contributing mightily to the unemployment of American workers. He has done more for our black Americans than any
previous president: opportunity zones, prison reform, funding our historic black colleges. He has rebuilt our
military, which Obama/Biden eviscerated. He created the Space Force. The man is a pro-American machine of
patriotism and confidence in our future. Everywhere he goes, thousands of equally pro-Americans show up in droves for a
dose of his infectious exuberance. He is to many of us the best medicine for loving our country among those who hate
this nation as much as we love it. As we all know, we live among people who are so mysteriously filled with hatred for
this man who has rescued America from the Alinskyite designs of the left, from foreign wars, and from the economic dreariness
of the Obama years, that they would rather see our country utterly destroyed rather than see President Trump re-elected.
Kelly
Campaign Spokesman Calls Police 'Worthless [...] Pigs'. The campaign spokesman for Arizona Democratic Senate
candidate Mark Kelly referred to police as "worthless [...] pigs" on Twitter in August, a comment that could complicate
Kelly's effort to distance himself from radical anti-police sentiment from the left flank of his party. T.J. L'Heureux,
Kelly's deputy press secretary, posted the message in response to a video that showed Chicago police clashing with protesters
over the summer. "You worthless [...] pigs," wrote L'Heureux on Aug. 17, directing the message to the Chicago Police
Department's official Twitter account.
Ten
Lessons from a Tumultuous 2020. [#4] The Democrat party is now the fully owned subsidiary of the
Marxist/socialist American left. While the party hierarchy clings to the façade of moderation by trotting out the
old faces from a bygone era, such as Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, the party is now the vehicle to radically transform the
nation into a hybrid Marxist/socialist state by any means either illegal or unethical. It is also an entity that does
not care about the poor, working class, or marginalized groups enough to place their interests above a political agenda.
Democrats' Anti-God Religion.
Even though Amy Coney Barrett seems to have avoided a much-anticipated religious inquisition from the Democrats on the Senate
Judiciary Committee, the hearings have reminded us that Democrats over the years have pretty much established themselves as
the anti-God party. They booed him at their 2012 national convention, after all. They had omitted reference to
God from their platform in 2008, and when, in 2012, they tried to add it back, witnesses say about one-third of
convention-goers booed. Their social platform pushes against historic Christian morality at nearly every
turn — on abortion, on same-sex marriage, on gender identity, on end-of-life issues. And who is it that sues
nuns and hassles religious schools and tries to pull down crosses on every little public patch of land they can find?
Will the Cultural Revolution Be Canceled?
Most Americans don't favor defunding police or instituting race quotas; they are wary of the costs connected with the Green
New Deal and of allowing Washington to control local zoning. Many are already voting with their feet, fleeing places
that promote these ideas and seeking out areas aligned with more recognizable American values. Over the past 20 years,
virtually all the most progressive large states — New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and California — have
suffered massive outmigration, while red or purplish states like Florida, Texas, the Carolinas, or Arizona welcome more and
more Americans to resettle there.
Our Second
Civil War: Communism Collapsed Only to Revive. [Scroll down] The polls so far show that the
Democrats, a party extremely heavily influenced by Marxism and the doctrine of state control, is about to take control of the
federal government. Under the guise of fighting racism, a largely fictitious problem among white people, freedom of
speech has already been abolished. Under the guise of fighting to protect the environment, much of the rights of
private property — the bedrock of a free society — will be abolished. The right of the citizens
to own firearms, a right that dictatorships ALWAYS have to abolish, will be attacked ruthlessly. In the end, only the
criminals and the state will be armed. But there is a deadly catch: the left in this country is not unopposed.
There are tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions, of people who like the free society, just as it is. There are
millions of people who are well armed who do not like the idea and the reality of a federal government that will (in a
Biden/Harris administration) openly side with the rioters and the looters and the people who shoot police officers.
Strangers
in our Homeland. America is the product of centuries of evolutionary political thought centered on natural
human rights. Radical leftists now assault this land its patriots love, turning it into a place they scarcely recognize.
Here's
What Keith Olbermann Wants Done to Trump and His Supporters if Dems Win in November. If Democrats win in
November, they already vow to destroy one branch of government and transform the U.S. Senate into another House of
Representatives, where a simple majority rules and "fickleness and passion" carry the day, to quote James Madison.
Predicting a Bolshevik-style victory for the Democrats, Keith Olbermann quit his job at ESPN and made a quiet return this
month to political commentary on his YouTube channel. In a classic Olbermann deranged rant, the former MSNBC host
breathed fire and brimstone at President Trump and all of his supporters, who Olbermann wants "prosecuted, convicted, and
removed" from society.
If
the Democrats Are Really So Far Ahead, Why Are They Acting So Desperate? It all started a few weeks back when
Democrats first hatched this conspiracy theory that the president was stealing postal trucks and rounding up blue mailboxes
to prevent people from voting. Even by their insane standards, this was unhinged moonbat cuckoo crazy. Then came
all the dog-whistle "coup" winks we got from both Mr. Biden and his unbearable running mate about how you are not
actually voting for another 47 years of the "Biden" administration. It will be the "Harris" administration, wink
wink. Sen. Kamala D. Harris' disastrous performance during the vice presidential debate this week raises new
concerns — concerns already raised when she was soundly rejected by Democrat primary voters earlier this year.
But that does not really matter. All that matters now is that a vote for Joe Biden is not really a vote for Joe Biden,
but simply a vote against Donald Trump. That is — literally — all they have to offer.
The
End of Covid Hysteria. [Scroll down] Fact is, most of the country is sick of the hysteria. Most
simply want to live their lives, intelligently with caution, and return back to what we all remember was a decent life. [...]
And of course, the Democrat response has been "to not let this crisis go to waste." Meaning: let's try to hurt
Trump's re-election prospects by blaming it on him, by shutting down Democrat-run states with harder lock downs. It'[s]
hiding behind "protecting the public" in order to hold down economic data so Trump can be blamed for a poor economy.
You might ask, what kind of people would do that? Well, the modern Democrats would. Let me say it loud and clear,
the Democrat-media complex has attempted to use this crisis with hysterical responses to everything to hurt Trump.
Hurting the American people? Who cares? They don't care. What kind of people do that in the middle of a pandemic?
On Trump and the virus.
President Trump was discharged from Walter Reed Medical Center a few days ago. His messaging during this unfolding
drama first drew criticism from those who claimed he should have been more transparent about every detail, every step of the
way. And the usual venomous bile and frenzied attacks came spewing from the the cackle of hyenas that is the White
House press corps no less than #resistance goons like Ilhan Omar and Jennifer Rubin. But why should they hold
back? They have all but stated publicly that they want the president dead, lo these four long years. It would be
dishonest of them at this point to wish him well. We aren't just watching different movies anymore, as Scott Adams used
to say — we need an analogy that goes far beyond that one. The new norm the press has established is a
baseline of fear and hysteria. They live in a completely alternative intellectual, emotional, and psychological reality.
Pro-Antifa
Communist Candidate Is Leading Ted Wheeler In Portland Mayoral Race. You know you're in Portland when the
current mayor who has chased out countless businesses and allowed Antifa and BLM terrorists to destroy the city on a nightly
basis for over four months straight is somehow not far enough to the left to appease the voter base. National
laughingstock Ted Wheeler is now trailing in the polls for his re-election. But not against a candidate that promises
to crack down on the rioters, promote businesses, and actually fix the roads. No, of course not. He's losing to a
candidate that's even further to the left than he is. Plucky upstart Sarah Iannarone, who is best known for declaring
"I am Antifa", now picks up 41% of the vote to Wheeler's 30%.
In
rooting for the virus, the Left is just like Hitler. The Left now actively roots for the virus to kill people
they don't like, such as President Trump. Drunk on their fantasy, they hope that his death is painful and humiliating
and that his wife dies too. They express their sick sentiments not just in the dark recesses of their troubled minds
and not just over bad frou-frou coffee at Starbucks. They boast of their wicked wish openly to the world. [...] These
are the people who, simultaneously, are addicted to signaling their virtue by driving electric cars, banning plastic straws
and turning our once-great cities into burning anarchy zones and vagrant toilets.
The
Working Class vs. Wokism. Wokeness, with its accompanying white ethno-masochism, is merely the latest
manifestation of an improbable ideology imprinted on the miseducated middle and upper classes. The working class is
spared this indoctrination by avoiding a crucial underpinning of wokeness, Critical Race Theory, which is served up in most
Humanities departments, many law schools, and now even in some hard-science departments. Popular culture offers
examples of instinctively conservative working-class characters at odds with a college-educated, scold-filled, newly minted
ideological certainty. "All in the Family," "The Jeffersons," and "Roseanne" are just a few TV shows that displayed
that that dynamic. It's not only in the U.S. that you see working-class resistance to policies fashionable with the
woke college educated. According to polls, support for Brexit decreased with educational attainment. More than
just a reassertion on national sovereignty, Brexit was seen by many as a necessary step to restrain mass Third World
immigration into Britain.
Hundreds
Of Trump Supporters Gather In DC For #WalkAway Rally. Hundreds of Trump supporters gathered in Washington, D.C.
Saturday for a #WalkAway rally to support the president and celebrate those who have "walked away" from the "radical left."
"The purpose of this event is to get the silent majority to show we are not going to be silent anymore, we are going to
stand up, we are going to fight for our country, we are going to fight against the radical left, because freedom in America
is worth fighting for," Brandon Straka, founder of the "WalkAway" campaign, told the Daily Caller.
Democrats
would destroy the presidency. First, Democrats want to destroy the Electoral College because it failed to pick
the candidate with 48% of the vote over the one who had 46% of the vote. Then, Democrats want to eliminate the Senate
as the deliberative body. Democrats want to remove the filibuster, and end all discussion about anything, and add
enough states to make the Senate permanently Democrat. They also want to destroy the Supreme Court by adding enough
justices — four at a minimum — to have their party control it. The struggle ceased being between
liberals and conservatives long ago. It is all about power. Obamacare was decided not along ideological grounds
because there really is nothing liberal about giving health insurance companies billions in federals subsidies each
year. Their handmaidens in the press also eliminated journalism by abandoning objectivity. Again, the idea is to
silence all dissent.
Minnesota paper
pulls story mocking Trump's COVID diagnosis, condemning liberals taking the high road. A Minnesota newspaper
has removed a piece from its website that mocked President Trump and first lady Melania Trump over their positive tests for
coronavirus. City Pages, an alternative weekly covering Minneapolis and St. Paul, published an article Friday
headlined, "Let's laugh at all these very good 'Trump has COVID' tweets." Editor-in-chief Emily Cassel led the piece by
writing, "So President Trump and the First Lady have COVID. Man, anyone else just in a really, inexplicably good mood this
morning?" Publisher Mary Erickson described the article as "insensitive and in bad taste."
Trump
haters rejoicing in his testing positive for COVID-19. Some prominent Donald Trump-haters —
including "The Wire" actor Dominic West and a former spokeswoman for Hillary Clinton — are openly rejoicing over
the president catching COVID-19. West, 50, told "Good Morning Britain" on Friday that he felt "joy" at the news of
Trump's illness. Ex-spokeswoman Zara Rahim, who has also worked for Barack Obama and Vogue magazine, said in a
since-deleted tweet that she "hopes he dies."
Report:
Trump's Hollywood Star Under Repair After Someone Dressed As The Hulk Wrecked It With Pickaxe. A person dressed
as the Incredible Hulk took a pickaxe to President Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame early Friday morning,
rendering it unrecognizable and in need of thousands of dollars in repairs, law enforcement sources told TMZ. The
Hollywood-focused media outlet reports that law enforcement officials said that the Hulk-dressed figure delivered about
$5,000 of damage to the Hollywood star, but no one has yet been arrested for the incident.
The Editor says...
Celebrating stars in the sidewalk is an obvious form of idolatry. The existence of movie stars and celebrities is also idolatry.
Portland
Group Plans Naked Bike Ride To Protest Amy Coney Barrett Nomination — Masks Are Required. If you get
enough people riding naked on their bikes through the streets, then Ruth Bader Ginsburg magically comes back to life and
deranged leftists don't have to worry about Amy Coney Barrett being confirmed to the Supreme Court. Or so goes the
logic of one Portland (duh, where else?) group, who is putting on a naked bike ride event to protest, uhh, something.
Because it's Portland.
A Man vs. The Movement.
This election is a contest between a man, Donald Trump, who believes America is good, and a man, Joe Biden, who is controlled
by a movement that believes America is bad. Or to put this another way, between a man who wants to preserve the
American way of life and a man who will end up destroying it. Republican leaders are too focused on policy. This
is not a policy election. This is a regime decision; a way of life election. One way of life, the traditional
American way of life, is based on individual rights, rule of law, and a shared understanding of the common good.
Government's role is to create the conditions for freedom to flourish. The other way of life I call "multiculturalism"
or "identity politics." This way of life assumes that society is made up of identity groups, all of which are oppressed by
white males. Government's role in this regime is to create equal income and power for each group.
Democrats
can't smear Amy Coney Barrett. [Scroll down] In 1987, it was Robert H. Bork, nominated to the nation's
highest court by President Reagan, who was a gentleman. Democrats held all the advantages in that fight because instead
of a gentleman, they had Sen. Ted Kennedy, a slovenly drunk menace to women. Before the sun set, Mr. Kennedy
strode to the well of the Senate to accuse Judge Bork of murdering women by denying them abortions — a darkly
ironic slur given Mr. Kennedy's own sick history when it came to women. Little more than a decade later came
Miguel Estrada, a superlative jurist nominated by President George W. Bush to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals —
a frequent stepping stone to the Supreme Court. Democrats, led by present-day Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and
Minority Whip Dick Durbin, didn't like Mr. Estrada and blocked his nomination because, their staffers said, he was
"Latino." You know, "especially dangerous." With each federal cours cage fight, Democrats got more and more unhinged
from humanity. More dishonest. More ridiculous.
The
Satanic Temple Is In Fact Emblematic Of The Leftist Worldview. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Satanism, and motherhood
converged in the pages of the Huffington Post on Thursday [9/24/2020] when Jamie Smith, an attorney and mom, wrote that the
death of the Supreme Court justice motivated her to join the Satanic Temple. [...] Of course, the No. 1 issue for Smith is
abortion, or as she euphemistically calls it, "reproductive rights." Without Ginsburg's vote and voice on the court, Smith
argues, "Roe v. Wade is in imminent danger of being overturned not based on legal arguments or scientific reasoning,
but because of religious objections to what is a safe and necessary procedure." Therefore, Smith has joined the efforts
of the Satanic Temple in bringing lawsuits that demand religious liberty for its members, elevating their open-ended tenets
to the same level as firmly held religious beliefs.
Democrats
Are Truly Sick People. Individually, each piece of the progressive left is harmless; annoying but
harmless. As more of them assemble and coordinate, they become increasingly dangerous. Protesters in the street
are pointless and inconvenient but coupled with governors, mayors, and prosecutors who encourage and empower them, they
embrace violence. When your moral compass is broken and the people charged with protecting citizens publicly announce
they're on your side, no matter what you do, or they won't pursue charges against you if you're arrested, what's the downside
to taking all you can from a Target or beating [up] someone?
Biden Foundation
Promoted Transgenderism For 18-Month-Old Babies. The 2018 initiative, called the "As You Are" campaign,
centered on a map tracking LGBTQ "acceptance stories" across the country. It was spearheaded by Biden's eponymous
foundation, which has been described as "further[ing] the work the Bidens did over eight years in the Obama administration
and cement[ing] the former vice president's more than four decade legacy in public life." Of the nearly 500 individuals
highlighted, many were children under the age of 18, with one account even chronicling a "gender nonconforming"
18-month-old. One mother submitted her story to the Biden Foundation about her six-year-old transgender child and saw
it promoted by the group, despite declaring her daughter "gender nonconforming" since 18-months-old.
Biden
Campaign to Appear Alongside Hanoi Jane. The Biden campaign, which has bombarded President Donald Trump with
attacks about his respect for U.S. soldiers, will be campaigning this weekend with Jane Fonda, a celebrity best known for
fraternizing with enemy troops during the Vietnam War. Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris is set to
join Fonda at a Saturday [9/26/2020] virtual event held by progressive advocacy group Supermajority. [...] Fonda traveled to
North Vietnam in 1972 as part of an anti-war protest that saw her pose for photos with enemy troops on an anti-aircraft
gun. The photo sparked outrage among Vietnam veterans, earning her the nickname "Hanoi Jane."
Cotton:
Biden Knows if He Revealed 'Radical Left-Wing' SCOTUS Nomination List 'He Would Lose the Election'. In a
Tuesday [9/22/2020] interview with Fox News Channel's "America's Newsroom," Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) sounded off on why
2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is yet to reveal his list of potential nominees to the U.S. Supreme
Court. According to Cotton, Biden is stalling because he knows if he put out a list, "he would lose the election" after
unveiling a list of "radical left-wing lawyers."
Can
the Present-Day Democrat Party Govern America (with or without Joe Biden)? The cabal fronted by Joe Biden is
selling hatred of Donald Trump and his voters and prefers that voters not worry about their ability to govern should the
Democrats win the Senate and install Harris-Biden. This same cabal that would be charged with governing the nation has,
for the past four years, marginalized, physically confronted and repeatedly accused the 63 million Americans who voted for
Donald Trump of being not only racists but fascists and white supremacists as well as homophobic, xenophobic and among the
vilest people on the face of the earth. What will be their intentions for these rightfully incensed citizens?
Ignore them and hope they go away? They will not. Instead, the Democrat party cabal will continue to vilify half
of the voters in 2020 thus potentially fomenting serious ongoing confrontations and retaliation.
Brace
for Democrats to knock Catholics, again. How much do Democrats hate Roman Catholics? We're about to find
out, once President Trump nominates, most likely, Judge Amy Coney Barrett for the U.S. Supreme Court. No surprises
here — the Democrats have a long, sordid history of anti-Catholicism. And Judge Barrett understands the
Democrats' rabid bigotry first-hand, from her first Senate confirmation hearing in 2017, when she was confronted by
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the now 87-year-old Democrat doyenne. "When you read your speeches," Feinstein told her,
"the conclusion one draws is that the Dogma lives loudly within you. And that's a concern." Imagine Feinstein
saying that to a Muslim. You can't.
New
York's Democratic socialists want a revolution — but does anyone else? Fresh off of surprising upset
victories in this summer's Democratic primaries for state Assembly and Senate, the city's Democratic socialists are targeting
the City Council primaries next year, when 35 of the 51 seats will be without an incumbent. The Democratic Socialists
of America-NYC is planning to back a slate of council candidates who, if elected, would create a "socialist caucus" down at
City Hall. According to the strategy document obtained by The [New York] Post, one litmus test will be agreement to "defund
the police" by 50 percent, slashing the NYPD's budget by $3 billion.
Don
Lemon: 'Blow up the entire system' and eliminate the Electoral College. CNN host Don Lemon proposed radically
changing the U.S. political system to take power away from the "minority" vote in the country. During the hand-off before
his show Monday night [9/21/2020], Lemon debated fellow network host Chris Cuomo by arguing Democrats should push to eliminate the
Electoral College, which would require a constitutional amendment. Lemon said such a feat was possible if Democratic
presidential candidate Joe Biden wins the presidency and Democrats "stack the courts."
Ginsburg
and Providence in American Politics. Democrats are the partners of evil in American politics. From the
race-driven politics of slavery that erupted in the Civil War, through the politics of segregation, Jim Crow laws, and the
KKK to the politics of race, abortion and gender, the Democrats and their allies in the media and the academia have been
engaged in the politics of transforming America from a republican order based on faith, family, and "In God We Trust" into a
European-style godless social democracy.
Dems
have just handed court-packing as a big election issue for the GOP. The dimmer bulbs in the Dem chandelier are
openly stating their intention to pack the Supreme Court should the party win the Senate and the Oval Office. This
hands an opportunity to every GOP candidate for the Senate (incumbent or challenger) to put his or her opponent on the spot,
and demand a public commitment to either reject or endorse the announced plan to expand the number of seats on the court and
appoint an ironclad progressive majority. [...] Blind anger, such as the Democrats now feel over the prospect of losing
control of the Supreme Court, makes people stupid. They now are out on a limb, threatening to gut the Supreme Court as
a backstop against tyranny. I don't think a majority of voters want that.
No
Rational Person Can Vote Democratic in 2020. Reason No. 1 — Emotional Blindness: [...] Family voting
history, upbringing, and the thought of, "I've always voted that way" plays a big part in peoples' voting decisions.
Many times, a party's actual policy stance runs directly counter to that voter's personal interests (such as devout Catholics
supporting Democrats who favor abortion or Jewish voters supporting Democrats who back anti-Israel/pro-Palestinian
legislation), but they vote for them anyway, because of a lifelong emotional attachment. Today, the starkest example of
destructive blind party loyalty is the rioting and anti-police violence perpetrated by domestic anarchist groups.
National Democratic politicians refuse to condemn their behavior. Assassins cheer for police deaths and block the
emergency room entrance and every high-profile Democrat remains silent, which effectively amounts to approval. Yet
every committed liberal voter will still vote for them after rationalizing it away. That is the ultimate in
hypocritical emotional blindness.
Dems
Call Trump a Mass-Murdering Racist; His Poll Numbers Rise. [T]he Democratic perception and characterization of
Trump is that of a crass, ignorant, xenophobic, incompetent, mass-murdering racist. How, they ask, can someone who put
the "d" in deplorable not find himself universally rejected? Or, as Peter Strzok, the fired senior FBI agent who led
the Trump-Russia collusion probe, famously texted about the 2016 election, "Hillary should win 100,000,000-0." How,
Dems ask, can such an overtly racist president get a 36% approval rating by Black likely voters in a July Rasmussen poll?
Detroit
Police Chief Unloads On Democrat Senator Who Called For Disarming 'Every Police Department': 'Absolutely
Ridiculous'. Detroit Police Chief James Craig slammed Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) this week after Markey called
for disarming "every police department" of certain types of weapons and non-lethal munitions. "Portland police
routinely attack peaceful protestors with brute force," Markey tweeted. "We must disarm these officers, and every other
police department in America, of weapons of war, and enact a nationwide ban on tear gas, rubber and plastic bullets, and bean
bag rounds." "Weapons of war" is term that is frequently used by the political left to describe semi-automatic firearms.
City
Manager Receives Paid Leave For 'Chickens Come Home To Roost' Post About Ambushed Deputies. The Lynwood city
council voted Tuesday [9/15/2020] to place City Manager Jose Ometeotl on paid administrative leave after he posted an
Instagram photo of Malcom X, with the text "Chickens Come Home To Roost" over the image, in response to two Los Angeles
County Sheriff's deputies getting ambushed by an armed assailant over the weekend. As a result of a city council vote,
Ometeotl will now undergo an "internal investigation," officials said late Tuesday. [...] After Fox News Los Angeles reporter
Bill Melugin posted a screenshot of the city manager's post to Twitter, Ometoetl made his Instagram account private, and the
city distanced themselves from his post, saying it wasn't reflective of the council's beliefs.
Rasmussen
Poll: Black Lives Matter Riots Turning People in Riot Zones into Trump Voters. The violent Black Lives
Matter riots that rocked multiple American cities this summer have turned voters who live in those riot zones into Trump
supporters, a new Rasmussen poll finds. The latest Rasmussen Reports Survey found that 63 percent of voters who have
seen violent protests in their community "strongly approve" of the president while only 35 percent don't. The survey
suggests that President Trump's strong "law and order" messaging is resonating voters who have had to deal with the riots. It
appears that the more racial unrest these voters see, the less open they seem to be toward the Democrats' racial grievance mongering.
Pennsylvania
Sheriff Changes To Republican After Violent Riots: 'Democratic Party Has Left Me'. Westmoreland County Sheriff
James Albert announced this week that he has changed his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican following months of
violent riots and attacks on law enforcement by leftists. "It was a really difficult decision and I've thought long and
hard about it, but I feel I stand for the ideals of the Republican Party platform more than the Democrats today," Albert
said. "I've been a lifelong Democrat, but a conservative Democrat at that. I'm pro-life, a strong supporter of the
Second Amendment, a lifetime member of the NRA and, today, I feel my ideals are closer to the Republican Party than Democrats."
Minnesota
Police Group Withdraws Support for Democrats — Public Opinion of Joe Biden Marxist Movement Shifts.
An interesting report from One America News Network highlights a shift in Minnesota similar to the recent shift in
Wisconsin. Due to increased violence from Joe Biden's Marxist supporters, the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Union
has withdrawn their support for Democrat candidates and are now shifting to support Republicans.
Forget
the Polls: Massive Enthusiasm Gap Between Trump and Biden Bodes Ill for Democrats. Although Joe Biden
continues to lead President Trump in most national polls, the enthusiasm gap between the two candidates could not be more
striking. The situation is reminiscent of the 2016 race, only there is even less enthusiasm for Biden than there was
for Hillary Clinton. Trump draws huge crowds wherever he appears while Biden can barely muster a few dozen socially
distanced quasi-supporters at his meager, tightly scripted events. As American Greatness previously documented,
massive grassroots pro-Trump boat parades have been a thing all year, although they have been mostly unnoticed or ignored by
the national media.
Joe
Biden Tries to Have It Both Ways on Anti-Police Violence. Organized anti-police violence is escalating in
Democrat-run cities in Democrat-run states. Polling is showing that the Biden campaign is bleeding out over the issue
of BLM and Antifa rioting and the inability of the Biden campaign to come out strongly against civil unrest because its core
supporters are either in the streets or whipping up hatred to get other people to riot. Over the weekend, two LA County
Sheriff's deputies were critically wounded in what can only be described as an attempt at a targeted killing. [...] This
attack was a logical and foreseeable consequence of the statements and actions and rhetoric of Democrat-elected officials
across the nation stoking hatred of police and coddling the people who carry out attacks on police. And those attacks
and the anti-police violence is a feature of the Biden campaign. Several Biden staffers have donated money to the fund
that bails out violent rioters, particularly those who have assaulted police officers in Portland and Seattle. Kamala
Harris has encouraged people to donate to that fund.
The
Left Sides With the Criminal. [Scroll down] Upon arriving at the scene, the police officers attempted to
effectuate an arrest. Blake resisted. He apparently got one of the officers in a headlock and resisted two
separate uses of a stun gun. He then disobeyed officers' commands, walked around to the driver's side of an SUV, and
reached inside. A knife later was found on the driver's side floorboard. This is the definition of a justified
shoot, by all available evidence. Yet former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., have
chosen to side with an alleged rapist and against police officers who were attempting to do their job.
Who goes to war armed with rubber bullets?
Sen.
Markey says all police must be disarmed of 'weapons of war' including tear gas, rubber bullets. Sen. Ed
Markey said Monday [9/14/2020] that U.S. police officers must uniformly be disarmed of "weapons of war," which according to
the senator, include "tear gas, rubber and plastic bullets, and bean bag rounds." Portland Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler
recently issued a ban on the troubled city's police department from using CS gas (also called tear gas) on demonstrators.
Every night for the past four months, police officers in Portland have come face-to-face with protestors and rioters
demonstrating in favor of racial justice and police reform. Often the clashes have become violent and have been connected
to several deaths. Several weeks ago, Wheeler was tear-gassed while marching one night with demonstrators.
Antifa
and BLM, the Democrat party's stormtroopers. The Democrats in Congress continue to block further aid to the
catastrophically unemployed due to the virus. As usual, Pelosi and her vassals in the House are abusing their positions
of power, again in some demented logic to defeat the President. With every fiber of their being, they believe most
Americans are mind-numbed idiots. They are counting on it, counting on us to ignore the fact that they have been
advocating for all the rioting the citizens of democrat-run cities have endured. They assume as well that we will all
fail to notice their candidate belongs in a nursing home. The Biden campaign finally released a statement, too little,
too late, in support of law enforcement!
Satanists
and Witches for Biden. Like all progressive groups, The Satanic Temple came out in support of Black Lives
Matter. The Satanic Temple, which distinguishes itself from its rival, The Church of Satan, through its rigorously
progressive politics while accusing The Church of Satan of libertarianism, put out a statement by co-founder Lucien Greaves
that blasted President Trump and accused the police of randomly killing black people that could have come from any random
leftist organization. "I watched with dismay as, in reaction to the election of Donald Trump, the least qualified,
least dignified, least competent president in all of U.S. history," complained Greaves, whose real name is Douglas Mesner,
and who has been known to pose wearing goat horns on his head. Steve Hill ran in a Democrat State Senate primary as the
first Satanist to seek public office. While he lost, the Satanist and Bernie Sanders supporter was able to secure over
10,000 votes from California Democrats. Since then, Hill has participated in a Black Lives Matter rally and one comment
noted the "solidarity between Black Lives Matter and Satanists."
The
Atlantic says Democrats will not be able to concede in November. On Sunday [9/13/2020], The Atlantic ran an
article that suggests that if President Trump wins in November, Democrats will not be able to concede the election. The
article was written by Shadi Hamid, where he outlines an entire list of grievances in which the left would not accept a Biden
loss. Such an event, Hamid says, is the worst-case scenario. The author indicates that Biden losing the election
would undermine democracy. He says that Democrats would not accept losing the electoral college vote as they did in
2016. He said that they did not accept the results then and would not accept it now. He continued saying that the
violence and extremism that the left has been financing and promoting would continue. He continued with the same left-wing
radical lie that President Trump is to blame and that all of it would go away if Biden were to be elected. I am sure
it would, as would every freedom that we all enjoy every day.
I
refuse to play Nancy Pelosi's Washington games. Playing the game in Washington means dancing to the tune of
party leadership, lobbyists, and major donors. It means you don't play across the aisle. It means doing as you
are told. It means you are perfectly fine with the status quo, even if that means voting on legislation that spends
trillions of dollars of taxpayer money when you have less than 24 hours to review, let alone debate it. It means
staying quiet and abandoning your principles. I refuse to play that game.
How to Steal an
Election - Part II. The very publication of the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) report and the subsequent
news media reporting about it are components of psychological warfare within the broader information warfare campaign aimed
at spreading demoralizing rumors to Trump supporters. The goal is to break down and weaken support before, during and
after election day. Demoralized and unmotivated supporters do not make their support for their candidate public.
They do not campaign in neighborhoods or post yard signs. They do not vote. They do not volunteer at polling
places. They become convinced their hopes are a lost, and highly controversial cause. They do not wish to be
called a racist, or a hater, or identified with other fringe elements. They stay at home and watch TV.
Having been psychologically conditioned (through the COVID-19 pandemic) to withdraw, isolate, and lock-down — on
largely fiat orders of various government officials — many Americans will react to the "irregular" and extra-legal
tactics of the Left. The Left relies on this reaction to suppress voter turnout and use varying forms of terror,
such as reprisals and the threats of reprisals, against those who do not cooperate or who challenge the projected
accusations detailed in the TIP report. The TIP report is careful not to engage in sedition. They are a whisper
away from advocating violence — but these are very sharp political operatives that are all lawyered-up, so they
speak in code.
The
Trump Scandal Absorption Level Has Been Reached. [Scroll down] We're being lied to on a daily
basis. We're being manipulated by a minority that, without the media, would be invisible. This minority is
literally so small that if the media were not sponsoring them, we wouldn't see them. Now, as you know, psychologically,
this sufficient works. A lot of people on our side think that we are outnumbered — and the truth is, not
only are we not outnumbered, they're not even close to outnumbering us. Despite how you feel, despite how it might
look. And I'm talking specifically about the Marxist radical leftist. Not the usual liberal Democrats that we
know are out there. I'm talking about the Antifas and the Black Lives Matters. They are nowhere near a majority
of in this country. They are a tiny minority, and we're being told by CNN and the New York Times every day that the
country has now made the move to Marxism.
President
Trump may be battered by the waves, but he will not sink. [Scroll down] What ails the left is that
leftists believe everything they think, and their thinking is characterized by pomposity and intolerance. One has to
look no farther than Twitter to be clobbered by the gross intolerance of Democrats. They are rude, profane, wholly
without manners or grace. There are the vicious rioters in the streets whom the Democrats refuse to condemn, and there
are the equally vicious boors who drive the contempt in which social media is drowning. Those often anonymous haters
hide behind their not so clever handles like schoolyard bullies who cry for their mothers if their true identities are
discovered. That's when they cry "racism," or "white supremacy," or "white privilege," even if, as most of them are,
they are white. There is nothing more absurd than watching a young white female carrying a Black Lives Matter sign
shouting obscenities in the face of a black policeman to illustrate the depth of the left's vacuity.
Democrats have a plan: threaten their
way into the White House. A coalition of influential progressive groups — including the SEIU, AFT,
Color of Change, Indivisible, MoveOn, and Demos — is organizing, the Daily Beast reports, for "mass public
unrest": [...] There's a reason these "secret" plans were revealed in painstaking detail to a sympathetic outlet, one that
would repeat fever dreams about "MAGA violence after election day." It's the latest example of the left's campaign of
extortion: If you want the protesting, rioting, and murder wave to end, all you have to do is hand Joe Biden a
landslide. The organizations claim to be preparing for an election "without a clear outcome," or the possibility that
President Donald Trump refuses to concede. Of course, they have also worked to assure an ambiguous election night by
pressing for a massive, disorganized switch to mail-in voting, even as public health experts say in-person voting is as safe
as grocery shopping.
Dem
Staffer Arrested by the Portland Police During BLM Riot, Dem Response Says It All. Democrats are now trying to
spin away any blame for the BLM riots after they unreservedly embraced the group and tried to downplay the actions as
"peaceful protest." Democratic leaders refused to properly address them or hold rioters accountable. In fact, there
have been multiple Democrats from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Rep. Maxine Waters and Rep. Ayanna Pressley
encouraging calling for unrest in the streets. On top of all that, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), the Democratic
candidate for vice-president contributed to a fund to help bail out people arrested during the riots. At least
13 Biden staffers also contributed to the fund. They also encouraged others to contribute as well, helping the fund raise
$35 million. That enabled violent criminals to get out, including one who allegedly committed another assault,
leaving a victim with a traumatic brain injury.
'Godless' and 'imposters':
Priest unleashes on Dems. A Catholic priest in America's heartland is going scorched-earth against any Catholic
who would vote for a Democrat in the upcoming presidential election, slamming the political party and even leaders of the
Catholic Church as "godless," "gutless" and "imposters." "Here's a memo to clueless baptized Catholics out there:
You cannot be Catholic and be a Democrat. Period," said Rev. James Altman of La Crosse, Wisconsin, in a new
video. "Their party platform absolutely is against everything the Catholic church teaches. So just quit
pretending that you're Catholic and vote Democrat. Repent of your support of that party and its platform, or face the
fires of hell."
Bishop
of the Catholic Diocese of La Crosse responds to video of priest attacking Catholics who are Democrats. The
bishop of the Catholic Diocese of La Crosse is responding to a video of one of its priests attacking Catholics who are
Democrats. The video, posted to Youtube already has almost 400,000 views. A video by Father James Altman, the
Priest at Saint James the Less Catholic Church here in La Crosse, is causing mixed reactions by those who have seen it.
The video, posted by a right wing media outlet, called Alpha News MN, shows Father Altman making claims against the
Democratic party.
The
Democrats Pick the Criminal. On Aug. 23, 29-year-old Jacob Blake, a black man, was shot seven times in the back
by a white police officer. The original video, which only included the last moments of the incident, gave no context
for the incident. But further video and police reports made clear what happened. [...] There was an open warrant on
Blake for third-degree felony sexual assault; the alleged victim is the woman who dialed 911, and she apparently had a
restraining order against Blake. [...] Upon arriving at the scene, the police attempted to effectuate an arrest. Blake
resisted. He apparently got one of the officers in a headlock and resisted two separate uses of a stun gun. He
then disobeyed officer commands, walked around to the driver's side of an SUV and reached inside. A knife was found on
the driver's side floorboards. This is the definition of a justified shoot, by all available evidence. Yet
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris have chosen to side with an alleged
rapist and against police officers attempting to do their job.
Donald
Trump: Joe Biden Will Appease Domestic Terrorists, I Will Arrest Them. President Donald Trump on Tuesday
continued campaigning against the violent radical left rioters in America's major cities, describing them as "domestic
terrorists." "Biden's plan is to appease the domestic terrorists. My plan is to arrest them," Trump said as the
crowd cheered.
The
left's awkward lionization of Jacob Blake. When we first learned that Kenosha resident Jacob Blake was offering
his first interviews and sending out video messages from the hospital after being shot by the police in Kenosha, I noted a
somewhat fawning tone to the media coverage he was getting. This left me wondering about the other people involved in
his story, particularly the alleged victims of his past criminal behavior. [...] Judging by the thousands of combined
retweets and likes that message received, I didn't seem to be the only one raising these nagging questions. None of
these issues slowed down the rest of our major media outlets, however.
By
Hailing Jacob Blake As A Hero, Democrats Have Marginalized His Alleged Rape And Abuse Victim. Kamala Harris is
the latest high-profile Democrat to meet with and pay homage to Jacob Blake and his family. After speaking with them
for an hour, Harris gushed to reporters that Blake Sr., known for ranting about "Jews" and "crackers" on social media, and
Blake Jr., accused of drunkenly abusing a woman over the course of several years before finally breaking into her house and
raping her, are "incredible." Blake family attorney Benjamin Crump, a man for whom the term "ambulance chaser" was
invented, issued a press release after the visit, providing more details about the kumbaya session. [...] Now would be a good
time to remind ourselves why Blake Jr. finds himself in a position where he must "work through his pain."
Fostering
massive social disorder is no way to protest. It's increasingly obvious that far too many people out causing
havoc in the name of Black Lives Matter are in fact just wallowing in the chance to bully people and break stuff, or
worse. And the ranks of Antifa, in particular, are packed with utter thugs (mostly white) who are devastating mainly
black neighborhoods in towns like Kenosha, Wis. Yes, many protesters try to stand up to the extremists: In the
videos of ruffians trashing restaurants and threatening diners up in Rochester, you see some people trying to stop the
mayhem. But they fail, badly — and so the cause is set back, badly. And for that, all these movements'
leaders are to blame. The civil-rights movement understood that it could only succeed by appealing to the nation's
conscience and ruthlessly policed its own ranks. Black Lives Matter organizers seem to think otherwise — why
else sit by as its followers harass restaurant-goers across the country?
Minnesota
Senate candidate says 'crazy' urban liberals driving people to Trump, could flip state red. President Trump
could flip Minnesota — a state that has been blue since 1972 — because of a mishandled coronavirus
response and continuing civil unrest in Democrat-run cities, GOP Senate candidate Jason Lewis said Saturday [9/5/2020].
The former congressman is battling incumbent Democrat Tina Smith in a Senate race that Real Clear Politics recently moved
from "leaning Democrat" to "toss-up." "It's sort of a microcosm of the entire country. As the urban liberals become
a little bit more crazy, it drives everybody else into Trump country and red country," Lewis said on "Fox & Friends Weekend."
O.C.
Democratic leader faces backlash after sharing post praising Ho Chi Minh on Facebook. An Orange County
Democratic Party leader has learned the perils of sharing social media posts praising dead communist leaders. On Sunday
[8/30/2020], Jeff LeTourneau, vice chair of the county's Democratic Party, shared a Facebook post that glorified Ho Chi Minh,
the former communist leader of Vietnam. The post drew immediate criticism from politicians from both parties, including
from those who represented Orange County's politically active Vietnamese American community, which was built on a bedrock of
refugees from communism and the Vietnam War.
Antifa
Effect? Yes, the Rioting Is Starting to Impact the House Races. Is Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and the
violent far-left actually giving a massive in-kind contribution to Republicans this election cycle? Maybe. The
non-stop rioting in the cities, especially along the Left Coast and now in Kenosha, Wisconsin is starting to show up in the
polling. It's the reason why Joe Biden had to come out of his bunker after the Republican National Convention; the
event mentioned the rioting. It's why CNN's Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon, who endorsed the violence, said it was now time
to settle down because it was hurting Democrats. Donald Trump is now leading with Independents by ten points, Black and
Hispanic voters support for Trump spiked after the GOP convention, and the national race is tightening up. Trump is
tied with Biden in Michigan — and enthusiasm for Trump with his base is sky-high. Joe Biden is not fairing
so well with Democrats on that front.
Gaslighting
America: Democrats And Media Have Turned It Up To 11. The Democratic Party and its communications office
have been telling the country for some time now that night is day and up is down. But, with the election two months
away, the psychological manipulation of the American voter has accelerated. As we've written the past two days, Joe
Biden has condemned the riots that have been wrecking cities and killing people since the May 25 death of George Floyd.
We're glad he finally got around to it. Yet he and his party are acting as if they've opposed the violence all along
and it's President Donald Trump who has failed to come out against it. But Trump, of course, has been denouncing the
riots since they began. Even when the media were determined to convince us they were "mostly peaceful."
A Clutch of Fools. Our friends on the left
pirouette from position to position, desperate to please the mob. Consider a point of comparison: Only a few
years ago, a bunch of irresponsible people who took out mortgages they could never hope to afford eventually lost their
houses in foreclosures. People lost businesses, too. That was, we were assured, a national tragedy, an indictment
of capitalism. But now the anointed mob is burning down homes and businesses, and progressives sniff that these
losses are "just property." Sometimes, property losses (those resulting from failure to pay a valid debt) are the
cause of lamentation and the rending of garments, and sometimes property losses (those imposed by criminal violence)
are no big deal. A cynical man might suspect that such progressive posturing is not to be taken seriously.
Democrats
are increasingly worried Trump's 'law and order message is resonating with swing state voters. Democrats have
told top advisers to the party's presidential nominee, Joe Biden, that President Donald Trump's "law and order" message and
images of disorder during anti-racism protests risk undermining Biden in Midwestern swing states, The Washington Post
reported on Wednesday [9/2/2020]. According to the report, Biden's campaign was caught off guard by unrest last week in
Kenosha, Wisconsin, after the police shooting of Jacob Blake and violence between Trump supporters and counterprotesters in
Portland, Oregon.
The Editor says...
I find it difficult to believe the Biden team was "caught off guard" by an event that happened ten days earlier. The Biden
campaign would never have mentioned rioting, but the rioters are obviously not Republicans, and the voters are paying attention.
Americans
chant 'Death to America' in streets of Oakland. A large group of demonstrators took to the streets in Oakland
over the weekend to protest alleged systemic racism in part by chanting "Death to America," which drew a heavy negative
response. Several videos of the protests were posted online to social media, and a number of people expressed their
disagreement — not with the act of protesting, but with the message. "The left has created a monster that
they have lost complete control of," Jason Howerton wrote. "I never thought I'd see people chanting "death to America"
in the streets of America."
Here are Joe Biden
Supporters Chanting 'Death to America' in Oakland. In the olden days, "Death to America" was something you
would hear in Iran. Not Oakland. But this is who Joe Biden supporters are now. Call it Antifa, Black Lives
Matter, or a ham sandwich. It's all the left, and Joe Biden is the empty vessel the left is using right now, as Nancy
Pelosi/Bernie Sanders try to "Weekend at Bernie's" Biden all the way to the White House. He, and they, own this.
Trump's
Running to Save Us from a Race War Fomented by Democrats. [Scroll down] The left in this
country — it's patently obvious now — they want this election to be, they want the current American
circumstance to be black versus white, not left versus right, not male versus female, not straight versus gay. They
want it to be black versus white. Immigrant versus native maybe, but as long as it has a racial component, that's what
the Democrats are attempting to foment. And Trump didn't buy it. He didn't buy into it. He didn't take the
bait. He didn't respond in kind. All last week the president made clear that it's about people who are
constructive, who are productive and generally happy. That's us. Versus people who are — let's face
it — miserably unhappy.
Neighbors
Allegedly Write Letter Singling Out Neighbor For Trump Yard Sign. Fox News contributor Guy Benson on Saturday
posted a letter allegedly given to a friend's neighbor because they "have a Trump sign in their yard." "Thank you for
proudly and prominently displaying your signs of political support! These symbols make it impossible for us to ignore
how you truly feel about us as your neighbors," said the handwritten note, which was signed "your neighbors who dare to be
different."
The Editor says...
Sounds like the person who really dares to be different is the one getting all the flack.
The
Chaos in Urban America Is Bad Now — But Can Only Get Worse With Biden. People used to accuse
Democrats of being "soft on crime." Now, Democrat-run cities can't even properly identify crime, let alone punish it.
(Except, perhaps, the ultimate sin of defending your life and home from the mob). The eccentric, oddball, strange and
perverse crew of mayors that run these urban cesspools are intransigent in their refusal to fight crime. President
Donald Trump is increasingly at war with America's Democrat-run cities — but only because their mayors refuse to
fight the war with the crime on their streets. This week, the President announced that he was sending 200 federal
agents to Chicago and Kansas City. He has already sent U.S. Customs Border Security guards to Portland in an attempt to
alleviate the lawlessness and chaos in that city. At least he can still distinguish between legitimate protest and
rioting. Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, apparently, cannot.
Mass Exodus: People are Fleeing Democrat Cities.
We are in the midst of a mass exodus of Americans from Democrat-run cities, yet Democrats cannot seem to figure out why. The reasons are easily explainable,
but apparently not to average Democrats, who are apparently unable to discern the obvious. [...] Before we get to the exodus, here is a reminder of a few of their actions:
• Running with the Ukrainian impeachment hoax
• Refusing to condemn the Chicoms for withholding info about their virus
• Obstructing the federal virus response (having not made a single positive recommendation made by any #Dementiacrat members of Congress!)
• Completely politicizing the virus, shutting down Blue states and implementing arbitrary authoritarian policies, incentivizing the reporting of deaths as "virus-related,"
• Stoking the racist fires of BLM (not a single elected Dementiacrat has condemned BLM)
• Aiding and abetting rioting in the streets (including setting up bail money to rapidly get the few arrested protesters back on the streets for more rioting), running a God-free national convention, supporting the cancel culture that aims to destroy the Republic
• Implementing policies to send virus-infected elderly back into assisted living quarters to infect other elderly people
• Lying nonstop during their national convention while offering no positive solutions (only full-blown socialism), supporting defunding of the police nationwide
• Nominating two candidates who are compromised by Communist China (not one, but two Manchurian candidates in the truest sense)
• Making common cause with America's enemies at every turn (e.g., Communist China and Iran)
Worst of all, the Democrats have let BLM and Antifa run wild in the streets of Blue cities, destroying businesses and public property, defacing historical monuments, and causing an exodus of citizens from those cities (those who can do so are fleeing those cities in droves!).
Andrew
Sullivan: 'These despicable fanatics, like it or not, are now in part the face of the Democrats'. Andrew
Sullivan's take on the danger posed to Dems by chaos in the streets is worth a read. I don't agree with all of it but
Sullivan seems to be making a genuine attempt to not be guided by talking points from either side of the aisle and it's
interesting to watch even if it's not a completely successful effort. Frankly, some of what he says seems to at least
partly contradict other things he's saying but I guess that's what happens sometimes when you're reacting honestly and not
just picking sides. Mostly what comes through is his disgust at the rioting which Democrats have only belatedly
realized could be a problem.
It's a little late now, isn't it?
Democrats
worry about voter backlash in suburbs. Democratic strategists are worried scenes of violence in Kenosha, Wis.,
and the "defund the police" debate could give Republicans and President Trump a boost with suburban voters. The issue
has come back to the forefront amid new incidents of violence, property destruction and protests this week after another
unarmed Black man, Jacob Blake, was shot in the back by a police officer. Some Democrats worry the continuing unrest
could give Trump an opening with swing voters in Wisconsin and other key states that voted for Trump in 2016.
The
Democrats Face the Inferno They Created. The other day a puling Don Lemon, the infamous CNN anchor, [...]
ripped the mask off the Democrat/leftist body politic when he opined that presidential candidate Joe Biden needed to speak
out against the rioting currently destroying Democrat-run cities because the unrestrained violence was beginning to hurt him
at the polls. In uttering nary a word about the impact the widespread suffering and destruction was having on
Americans, he starkly displayed the callous disregard Democrats have for this nation and its citizens. [...] Someone once
said that if you give people long enough and listen carefully, they will always tell you who they are. Lemon is telling
us exactly who the Democrats are. It was a staggeringly profound confession, whether he intended it as so or not.
Perhaps next he will advise Biden to advocate reopening the economy and the schools because trying to destroy the country in
order to use impoverished and despondent Americans against Trump for political purposes was also costing him votes.
Virginia
Democrats Pass Bill That Eases Sentencing for Assaulting Police. The Virginia Senate passed a new bill that
would weaken sentencing for assaulting a police officer, the Associated Press reported Wednesday [8/26/2020]. The bill
would strike down Virginia's six-month mandatory minimum sentence for striking an officer and provide judges the discretion
to lower charges to a misdemeanor in less severe cases. Despite vehement opposition from Republicans, Democratic
lawmakers fast-tracked the passage of the bill with a party-line vote. Republican members argued that the bill
undercuts police officers who are confronting a nationwide crime wave.
The
Collapse of the Democrat Brand. Democrats approve of burning cities, mass riots, and hundreds of beatings for
those willing to wear Trump-branded clothing. Surveys show that nearly half of leftists won't even be friends with
Trump-supporters. There are also countless examples of Trump-supporters blacklisted for incorrect political
viewpoints. None of this is congruent with a kind, tolerant, peaceful brand. Perhaps the pinnacle of the left's
false brand image happened at a Minnesota high school when students violently beat another student for carrying a Trump flag
during a protest — against gun violence. It's hard for someone to be likable when any level of disagreement
is anathema to him. The same applies to the Democrat brand. Hollywood has resorted to rewriting existing
superheroes to be more woke because it can't create woke heroes. That's because there is nothing admirable about
wokeness. Children don't aspire to be perpetual complainers who thrive on destroying people for typos. There is
nothing likable about paranoid malcontents, who see racism and Russian assets everywhere they look. Nobody wants to be
a leftist because it sounds miserable, and multiple polls prove that Democrats are less happy than Republicans.
Like
trapped rats, Democrats and other leftists are starting to get nervous. No one believes in "President Biden,"
which is a generic idea without any policies attached. Trump offers Americans a mirror of themselves and their highest
aspirations. That's a winner.
The
Democrats Attack the Country; the Republicans Attack the Democrats. Last week, we watched as Joe Biden and his
increasingly radical party outlined their dark perception of the country. They offered few policies and no
solutions. Their message boiled down to America is evil and rotten to the core, and Trump is a fascist who represents
an existential "threat to our democracy." The Democrats also called Trump a racist, accused him of culpability for every
single COVID-19 death in the country, and for the economic contraction that has led to a 10 percent unemployment rate.
As if the well-documented failures of the Postal Service over the last several decades have not already undermined it enough,
Hillary Clinton blamed Trump for supposedly trying to sabotage it in an attempt to "steal an election."
Third night
of RNC 2020 puts the onus squarely on Joe Biden. Mike Pence put it on the line in his speech on the third night
of the Republican Convention: "You will not be safe in Joe Biden's America." As he spoke, Kenosha was reeling from the
violence of the past four days while rioters were trashing Minneapolis yet again. The embrace of law and order was one
of the key themes of the night, and Pence was at his most dramatic as he said, "The violence must stop, whether in Minneapolis,
Portland, or Kenosha. Too many heroes have died defending our freedoms to see Americans strike each other down.
We will have law and order on the streets of America." He said that the men and women of law enforcement "are the best
of us," and that "we will always stand with those who stand on the thin blue line."
What
Will Replace the Police? Ten Historical Examples. Perhaps we have found the Democrats' Kryptonite.
Conservatives have noticed for quite some time that the left never showed adequate concern about far-left extremism.
The far left has greater numbers and, unlike the far right, is entrenched in major institutions like colleges. The far
left hopes to claim the anti-police violence as a historic win for its side. Democrats can't claim that the Floyd
protests had nothing to do with rioting. Protests have become linked in Americans' minds with riots. The
organization seen as leading these demonstrations was Black Lives Matter (BLM), whose premier issue was defunding or
abolishing the police. BLM leaders like Alicia Garza never hid their intent. Most BLM activists rejected talk of
mere reform as too weak and compromising. Attempts by skittish Democrats like Jim Clyburn to disown anti-police slogans
can't undo the effect of many fellow Democrats' embracing of a group whose trademark demand is shutting down police.
Former
DNC Head Donna Brazile Freaks Out On 'Fox And Friends,' Brian Kilmeade Cuts Away. On Tuesday [8/25/2020], Fox News
contributor and former Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile became irate on "Fox & Friends" when speaking with
conservative pundit Tammy Bruce about the current wave of violence breaking out across America. The moment became so
heated that co-host Brian Kilmeade had to cut away. The heated exchange began when Tammy Bruce highlighted the fact
that few if any, Democrats have spoken out against the violence unfolding in cities across America.
RNC
2020 opening night ratings on C-SPAN blow away DNC viewership. The opening night of the 2020 Republican
National Convention blew last week's Democratic snoozefest out of the water, drawing in six times more viewers on C-SPAN's
livestream. Approximately 440,000 people tuned in to watch the first night of the virtual GOP convention on Monday,
compared to just 76,000 views for the first night of the DNC, according to a Hill report. While the Democratic
gathering boasted speeches from big names such as former first lady Michelle Obama, who gave a rousing endorsement of Joe
Biden and drew the ire of President Trump, far more people tuned in to see Donald Trump Jr., Nikki Haley and the gun-wielding
McCloskeys bash Biden.
RNC
2020: Democrat Vernon Jones delivers blistering attack on his party. Democratic Georgia state Rep. Vernon
Jones bashed his party and declared his ardent support for President Trump in a speech Monday night at the 2020 Republican
National Convention. Jones, who was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 2016, made waves in April with
his endorsement of Trump. During his RNC address, he railed against his party, saying it had become "infected with a
pandemic" of intolerance, bigotry, socialism and anti-cop sentiment. Dems have "a dangerous tolerance for people who
attack others, destroy property, and terrorize our communities," he said.
Vernon
Jones: Democrats 'Infected' with Pandemic of Intolerance, Socialism, Anti-Police Bias. Vernon Jones, a
Georgia Democrat state Rep., said during the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Monday that the Democrats are "infected"
with the "pandemic" of "bigotry, socialism, and anti-law enforcement bias." Jones garnered national headlines after he
came out in support of President Donald Trump. He noted that a "lifelong Democrat" might seem like an odd picture at
the Republican National Convention; however, he charged that the Democrat Party does not "want Black people to leave the
mental Plantation they've had us on for decades." The Georgia lawmaker charged that Trump is the "president that America
needs to lead us forward."
Two
conventions, one angry and miserable, the other optimistic and grateful. The difference in tone between the
Democrat and Republican conventions could not be more distinct. The four days of the Democrat infomercial were
characterized by misery and anger. Not one of the Democrat speakers even smiled. They made it clear, each and
every one of them, that they hate this country. Consider Michelle Obama's scowling face; every person who spoke exuded
rage, fury that President Trump had survived the four years of their demented attempts to destroy his presidency. Even
before the election, higher-ups at the FBI, the DOJ and the CIA had hatched a scheme to prevent his victory. Once
elected but before his inauguration, they escalated their treasonous plan which was constructed out of a tissue of
lies. To this day, Adam Schiff continues to promote the many lies he has foisted upon the American people with the
eager help of a despicable and immoral media. This was a grievously corrupt group of people with power to
abuse — and abuse it they did. But they failed. Yet they have not been deterred.
While
Claiming To Champion Justice, Democrats Are Letting American Cities Burn. The leaders of the Democratic Party
think they are destroying America in order to save it. Our nation's urban revival, of which New York City was the
preeminent example, was one of the great successes of the last few decades. Now this achievement is in danger as the
costliest civil unrest in American history drags on, enabled by the deliberate fecklessness of Democratic leaders.
Nightly riots and assaults in Portland, massive organized looting in Chicago, and escalating violence in NYC and elsewhere
are still ongoing as police are pulled back. The destruction and pillaging have devastated local economies already
wounded by the Chinese coronavirus.
Fight
for America — voters must do this to stop socialism and anarchy. Rioting. Vandalism.
Bullying opponents into silence. Calls to defund the police, abolish the Electoral College and remake America as a
socialist country. It's hard to believe what we're now seeing. For months, the forces of Marxism, socialism and
anarchy have terrorized our streets and threatened the values that make America the greatest nation in the world. They
have shown no signs of stopping, and many left-leaning politicians, members of the media and celebrities either tacitly
accept their behavior or openly cheer it on. Today, America has a choice of two paths. We can embrace the
foundational principles that created this nation of limited government and individual liberty. Or we can veer down the
path of those who trash those principles, who teach our children that America was illegitimate from the start, and who want
to make the vast majority of Americans subservient to an all-powerful government.
The
Democrats Ignored the Riots, but Republicans Won't. The Democratic National Convention is over, and Democrats
did not leave much to voters' imaginations. The party faithful were likely enlivened by the speakers who sketched out a
transformative vision for the future of the country. Less ideological voters will probably appreciate the
not-exactly-subtle efforts to contrast Joe Biden's character and comportment with Donald Trump's. The party smartly
shaped much of its pitch around the pandemic, which will likely be the election's most salient issue and one that does not
favor the incumbent president. And yet, there were many glaring thematic omissions throughout this nominating
convention. The ones that Republicans are most likely to exploit when the focus turns to the GOP next week are rising
crime rates, lawlessness in American cities, and the Democratic Party's tacit acceptance of those intolerable conditions.
Criminal justice
activist Donna Hylton, featured in DNC video, was convicted for role in grisly 1985 murder. Donna Hylton was
known as inmate #86G0206 for 27 years. She was behind bars for her role in the grisly murder and torture of Thomas
Vigliarolo, a balding New York businessman found stuffed inside a steamer trunk and left to rot in Harlem. Hylton and
six others let him die "in the most heinous circumstances," the prosecutor said at their trial in 1985. On Thursday, the
Democratic National Committee (DNC) hailed Hylton as one of "America's most impactful community leaders" and asked her to
participate in a video reading of the Preamble to the Constitution during a televised portion of the convention.
The Sleight-of-Hand
Convention. I watched all of the convention, and the word "China" was not uttered until 10:57 p.m. on
Thursday. Nor did any of the Democrats mention the violence that has erupted in America's cities after the protests
against the killing of George Floyd. Biden talked about jobs, but the American worker made only guest appearances in
the four days of programming. If you are a Hispanic contractor or an Obama-Trump voter in the Midwest, was any of this
convention relevant to you? No doubt Biden's speech was affecting. But the Democrats were awfully vague about
what they plan to do if they find themselves in power next year. Time and again, Americans have elected Democratic
governments only to find themselves shocked and appalled two years later. The Democrats campaign as a worker's party,
but govern as a Bobo one. It happened to Bill Clinton. It happened to Obama. Is there any reason to think a
Biden presidency will be different?
On
the Occasion of Not Watching the 2020 Democrat Convention. This is not a Democratic Convention, but rather a
convention of persons calling themselves Democrats. There is no Democratic Party because there is nothing democratic
about it in the most important sense of the word. It is the antithesis of democracy. They prattle about unity,
but what each of the speakers really wants is obedience to the agenda of whatever unhappy soul is speaking at the
moment. They claim to unite in their singular vitriol and hatred of Donald Trump, but it is really their hatred of one
another and us who do not obey that compels them. Just listen to them canceling us and each other out for failure to
embrace one another's orthodoxies. Unhappy and unsmiling as they recite their recorded messages, it is clear that there
is nothing that would make them less angry and more happy — even winning the presidency won't do that. They
want control, and they want power. What they will do with power if they get it is not a pleasant prospect.
A
Fake DNC Convention Ends With Real Nastiness. [Scroll down] "I'm proud to be a nasty, nasty woman," Julia
Louis Dreyfuss gloated. It's not just her own aspiration, but that of the party that invited her. The Democrats
want to play at being serious, principled folks bringing the country together, but they're proud to be nasty. "I will
draw on the best of us, not the worst of us," Joe Biden claimed, accepting his nomination after a convention filled with
conspiracy theories about mailboxes, smears, and cheap shots. That promise is coming from a politician who spent his
career insulting voters, calling them fat and stupid, whose family is notorious for profiting from his political office, who
palled around with segregationists and sexual predators, but whom three nights of celebrities and fellow hacks from across
the political swamp spectrum now insist is really a kind, decent, and loveable man. Biden's transformation after 47 years
of nastiness is just as convincing as that of his party. The Democrats insist that Joe Biden is a man of faith, even as their
caucuses clip "God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance.
The
DNC Tried to Do Comedy, It Was One of the Most Awkward Things I've Ever Witnessed. The DNC has thankfully come
to a close. Joe Biden ended it with a teleprompter performance in which he did not forget where he was, so in that
sense, it's being hailed as a success. Of course, no matter what happened, the headlines were already written. It
was "optimistic" and "uplifting." Rest assured, when the RNC happens next week, it'll be "dark" and "divisive" no matter what
is actually said. Of course, it wasn't all flowery language. The DNC also had Julia Louis-Dreyfus of Seinfeld
fame (I know she's been in other stuff, I just don't care) do a bit. That led to some of the most awkward "comedy" I've
ever witnessed. [Video clip] Of course, no Democrat joke session would be complete without insinuating that
VP Mike Pence is gay, because that's the pinnacle of hilarity on the left. [Another video clip] You get
it? She changed his name to something it's not because that is slang in another country for being a homosexual.
Absolute comedic brilliance. Note that Democrats are always allowed to get away with things that would be called
"homophobic" if it came from someone on the right.
Joe
Biden's DNC Acceptance Speech Gets 21% Lower Ratings Than Clinton in 2016. Former Vice President Joe Biden
accepted the Democrat presidential nomination Thursday, but his speech drew fewer viewers than Hillary Clinton did in 2016,
according to preliminary data from Nielsen Media Research.
Hatred,
Prejudice and Rage. I am becoming increasingly optimistic about this year's election. It seems obvious
that the Democrats have gone far overboard, and are alienating huge segments of the electorate. There is indeed a
pro-arson, pro-looting faction, but it can hardly comprise a majority. The Democrats seem to think that Trump hatred
can drag even a pitiful candidate like Joe Biden across the finish line, but Americans have never been haters. Not a
majority of them, anyway. And there is little evidence that Trump hatred rules the electorate. On the contrary,
the current Rasmussen survey of likely voters finds Trump with a 51% approval rating.
DNC
Panel Features 'Mermaid Queen-King' Who Calls For the Abolition of ICE, Police, and Prisons. The Democratic
National Convention on Tuesday [8/18/2020] featured a panelist who identifies as a "nonbinary/gender transcendent mermaid
Queen-King" and who called for the abolition of the police, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and prisons.
According to the panelist's Wake Forest University bio, J Mai is a "Black-Vietnamese, transgender nonbinary/gender
transcendent mermaid Queen-King," who recently became a "licensed minister in the Progressive National Baptist Church."
J. Mai made the extreme comments during a DNC LGBTQ caucus meeting. "Why can't folks imagine a world without the
cops? Why can't folks imagine a world without prisons? Why can't people expand their imaginations to include
community care, to include an abolitionist future?" the self-avowed "mermaid Queen-King" said. J Mai stressed that
she was talking about real abolition, not a watered-down version.
Democrats
Sure Hate America. In watching the Democratic National Convention one thing strikes me over and over
again — Democrats really don't like this country and the people in it. No, this wasn't news to me, but it
was surprising to see them be so open about it; proud of it, really. The opening night was a list of grievances, an
endless stream of whiny leftists declaring how racist everything and everyone is. Honestly, if I lived in a place where
I truly believed its very existence was based on oppressing me, you couldn't keep me there. I wouldn't stick around,
and I surely wouldn't try to take it over. I'd get [...] out of there and go someplace else. Yet, Democrats claim
to love the country while calling for "fundamental transformation" of it.
The
DNC's Ratings Enter Dumpster Fire Territory. The ratings for the first two nights of the DNC are in and they
aren't very good. Compared to four years ago, total viewership among the broadcast networks is down 42%. Even
among the hardcore audience of the cable news networks, the Democrats are running at a 16% deficit compared to 2016.
Is
This Real? Why Some Are Calling the DNC Outro Monday Night 'The Moment Trump Won Re-Election'. This
cannot be real. Did two hours of watching the Democratic National Convention cause me to lose my mind? President
Trump was blamed by one woman for causing her father's death from COVID. Yeah, she used his dead body to score political
points, I'm sure that's what he — a Trump supporter — would have really wanted. Bernie tried to
get the progressive base excited for Joe; it wasn't convincing. And then we have the loser brigade, some no-name
Republicans who are throwing their support behind Joe Biden. John Kasich is also doing that — forever
cementing himself as the Benedict Arnold of the Republican Party. Well, at least for this cycle, he's decided to fill
the role.
DNC
Night One — I Think the Democrats Want Trump to Win. Well, the 2020 Democratic National Convention
(DNC) kinda/sorta got underway on Monday night and we're still waiting to hear from the twelve people who aren't in political
media who watched it. [...] One of the more perplexing things was the DNC giving a speaking slot to former Ohio governor and
noted mailman's son John Kasich. Kasich brings slightly less excitement than dryer lint to any gathering he graces but
what was most amusing was that during the somnambulant lead-up to the DNC, the Democrats were acting like Kasich was a real
big get for them. He's a milquetoast squish Republican whom no Republicans like anymore, so he tucked tail and went
begging for attention crumbs from the Democrats, which is the way of the spineless squishes. After backstabbing his own
party to score points with the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the media, Kasich then — as Matt details at
Townhall — [betrayed] his hosts by disparaging Bartender of the Year Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Cuomo's
Appalling DNC Speech, and Biden's Endorsement of It, Is an Opportunity for Republicans. Night one of the
virtual Democratic National Convention descended into cringeworthiness on multiple occasions. It featured awkward
State-of-the-Union response-style political speeches, interspersed with musical interludes and glorified Zoom meetings.
It was emceed by a Hollywood celebrity, at times giving off major telethon vibes. I can't imagine a normal human
voluntarily tuning in at the beginning of the program and making it through the entire two hours. But if Republicans
are tempted to point and laugh, they should humbly recall that their turn comes next week, and the strange, unprecedented
format likely won't be any easier for them. Democrats have the entertainment industry's most glittering creative
talents at their disposal, and they came up with... that. Some speakers were stronger and more effective than
others. A few were downright awful. Some of the pre-packaged content was painful to watch.
Today's Democratic
Party. Today's Democratic Party is exemplified by John Thompson, who won a primary on Tuesday and is the
DFL-endorsed candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 67A. Earlier today he led a BLM harassment
effort at the home of Bob Kroll, President of the Minneapolis Police Department's union. As you can see, Thompson is a
profane, violent lunatic: [Video clips] It is highly probable that John Thompson will be a member of the Minnesota
legislature beginning in January. This is today's Democratic Party. If these are not the people you want running
our country, you had better not just vote Republican, but contribute to Republican candidates and volunteer for their campaigns.
Black
Congressional Candidate In Minn Screams At Kids In Front Of Their House, Calls Them Klansmen. [Video clip]
Democrats'
Celebration Of Coercive Government Policy Has Begun. The socialist hootenanny, also known as 2020's virtual
Democratic National Convention, is now one installment into its miserable four-day run. What have we learned so
far? While delegates and speakers are in remote locations, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez is in
Milwaukee, the site he personally chose for the convention. It is wholly suitable for the event. The Wisconsin
city might be the most socialist municipality in America. "Milwaukee is the only large American city to have elected
socialist mayors — and kept them in power for almost 40 years," says WTTW, a public (of course) television
station in Chicago. Voters have even elected socialist "state and local legislators and one congressman."
MSM Members Pan
DNC: 'Feels Like One Long Ad on YouTube,' 'Please Talk Me Off the Ledge,' 'Unwatchable'. Members of the
mainstream media panned the virtual Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday for its similarity to a long infomercial
and its boring and out-of-date feel. Philip Lewis, front page editor for the left-wing Huffington Post, perhaps
summarized it best in his tweet: "The DNC so far feels like one long ad on YouTube you'd usually skip." Charles M.
Blow, a New York Times columnist, tweeted, "This is a good effort by the DNC, but you can already tell that a virtual
convention is going to be tough." There are three additional days of the DNC.
Wow,
the Democratic Convention was a bizarre night of television. The Democratic National Convention kicked off
Monday night with all the glamour and excitement of a Zoom conference. The Home Shopping Network produces more dynamic
programming and is far better at pushing product. Inexplicably, former "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria
Bastón served as host. Wearing a white sleeveless sheath dress and a permanent expression of teary concern,
Longoria Bastón repeatedly invoked the convention's theme, "We the People." She should have demanded a script
doctor. "YOU are the 'we' in 'we the people,'" she said. Also: "'We the people' means all the people, even those
with whom we might not agree." Fourth-grade social studies class is more sophisticated and less insulting.
How
to shock your woke kin out of Marxism. In reading historian Paul Kengor's stunning new book on the demonic
roots of the socialist movement — The Devil and Karl Marx — I came across one small section of
the book that has the potential to deprogram the young Marxists in your life. No, it is not Karl Marx's early and
openly expressed willingness to walk on the wild side. "My soul is chosen for hell," Marx wrote as an aspiring young
poet, one of his many publicly declared yearnings to embrace the satanic over-soul. (Quick digression: Had Marx been a
better poet and Hitler a better painter, just think how different the world would be today.) Nor is it Marx's cruel
exploitation of the women in his life. No, what will trouble the clueless Marxists you might know — and if
they are not clueless, they are evil — is Marx's extravagant racism and anti-Semitism. The anti-Semitism I
knew about. The racism I did not.
Stacey
Abrams: The Perfect Democrat. When Stacey Abrams was running for Georgia governor, she had an impressive
list of social changes she wanted to make. People paying their bills didn't make the cut. Abrams was $228,000 in
debt during her 2017 campaign for Georgia governor, including $50,000 to I.R.S. Despite that, she managed to loan her
campaign $50,000. She also owed $76,000 in credit card debt and $96,000 for Yale Law School. Abrams claimed that
family obligations and a misunderstanding of how credit cards worked as the reason for her financial mess. This from a
woman who is a tax attorney who wanted to be the vice president of the United States. Abrams claims the concept of
handling money seemed to escape her. She wrote that when she was at Spelman College, she got her first credit cards but
was unaware that they would be "yoked to something called a credit score."
Protest held outside
New York bakery over MAGA cake, bakery says it is still making the design. A protest was held outside of a New
York bakery Thursday over a MAGA hat cake. Coccadotts Cake Shop in Albany put a picture on its social media of a cake
baked into the shape of a red "Make American Great Again" hat. The cake was a custom-order. The cake set off a
wave of backlash when it was posted in late July. Though it was quickly deleted after the negative response, protestors
from the Black Lives Matter movement and those supporting the MAGA cake faced off in front of the bakery on Aug. 13.
According to video footage from the protest, the sides are seen arguing while police officers attempt to keep a barricade
between the groups.
Riots should
re-elect Trump. Only a fool would rebuild because city hall let rioters destroy 150 buildings and cause a
half-billion-dollars in damage. In Seattle, the mayor let rioters take over a six-block area, ceding the nation's first
gayborhood to anarchists. The city council cut the police budget, which forced the city's only black police chief to
resign. There are no black people on city council. So much for Black Lives Matter. In Chicago, rioters
crossed the line and trashed the stores along the Magnificent Mile. This broke the long-standing Democrat rule of
allowing criminals to do what they want in poor black neighborhoods, but leave the elitists alone. New York also broke
that covenant. Turning the cities into urban wastelands forces residents to flee for the suburbs. Only the most
delusional Democrats believe those refugees will vote for Basement Biden and COMMA-la Harris.
Austin
guts police budget to pay Planned Parenthood. The Austin City Council voted unanimously Thursday [8/13/2020] to
gut its police budget. The Austin Police Department, which is already about 200 officers below full strength, will have
its budget cut by one-third. The city's murder rate is spiking but evidently that's of no concern.
Democrats
Dance with the Devil. No one realized how weak the mainstream Democrat Party had become, or how powerful Black
Lives Matter and Antifa had become, until they destroyed downtown Minneapolis. Until then, they had done little more
than make nuisances of themselves. [...] The riots that started in Minneapolis quickly spread to Seattle, Chicago, New York,
Portland, and dozens of other Democrat-run cities. Local authorities didn't know how to react. After all, the
rioters were presumptive Democrat voters. [...] Black Lives Matter and Antifa seem to have thoroughly cowed the Democrat
Party. Whatever they wish, Democrats shall do. You want us to defund the police? Sure. Paint BLM
"murals" on city streets? Hand me a roller. Don't want us to prosecute rioters? Wouldn't think of it.
Looting is payback for long-overdue reparations? Well, yeah. Okay. Democrats must surely worry about the
optics of bowing to the rioters' will.
Crushing
the Barbarians Inside the Gates. [Scroll down] What obliterates the woke narrative is the simple truth
that the constitutional American republic with its rights and obligations under law, the free market economy together with
common sense and traditional values have driven more creativity and prosperity than any other system in human history.
President Trump appreciates that heritage and wants to build on it. Joe Biden and the Democrat Party have embraced the
woke agenda and the social media cancel culture, and have accepted the visible toppling and removal of America's historic
statues and monuments and the expungement of virtue from its history in order to remake and transform the nation. The
choice in the November elections could not be more clear-cut and the consequences more profound.
Kamala
Has Already Struck Out. Many analysts believe that Kamala Harris will be America's most radical left political
candidate ever. She's consistently among the top two "most progressive" members of the Senate. She has been
called one of the most radical-left politicians today; pick any pet woke cause, and Kamala will be farthest left! These
policy positions are not only constitutionally problematic; they are also prohibitively expensive, with a price tag in the
multiple billions of dollars! [...] What Kamala Harris offers in the veepstakes is a promise to promote a grab bag of
assorted radical goals of every oddball progressive from Bernie to AOC to Obama and be an advocate for special
constituencies — pro-abortion voters, instigators of the BLM movement's racism, gun control activists,
and illegal aliens.
Franklin
Graham warns Biden-Harris ticket 'should be a great concern to all Christians'. Evangelist Franklin Graham, a
prominent evangelical supporter of President Trump, is calling on Christians to take note of one issue presumptive Democratic
nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris both adamantly support. The son of the late Rev. Billy Graham
notes, Biden-Harris "are labeled as the most pro-abortion presidential ticket in the history of our nation." "This
should be a great concern to all Christians," Graham, the president and CEO of Samaritan's Purse, tweeted. "As a
follower of Jesus Christ, I am pro-life [and] believe every life is precious to God."
Biden
to Ensure His Presidency 'Addresses the Unique Needs of... Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Women'.
Former Vice President Joe Biden says that if he is elected president his administration will address "the unique needs of...
lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer women." "Biden knows that addressing the challenges faced by women and girls is
more than just a campaign promise — it's an imperative if the Administration is going to succeed in its broader
efforts to make sure the government and economy work for all Americans," says a page on Biden's campaign website.

Promoting homosexuality is not "work[ing] for all Americans."
Are
Today's Leftists Truly Marxists? Marx is a hero to many labor union leaders and civil rights organizations,
including leftist groups like Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and some Democratic Party leaders. It is easy to be a Marxist
if you know little of his life. Marx's predictions about capitalism and the "withering away of the state" turned out to
be grossly wrong. What most people do not know is that Marx was a racist and an anti-Semite. When the U.S.
annexed California after the Mexican-American War, Marx wrote: "Without violence nothing is ever accomplished in
history." Then he asked, "Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not
know what to do with it?" Friedrich Engels added: "In America we have witnessed the conquest of Mexico and have
rejoiced at it. It is to the interest of its own development that Mexico will be placed under the tutelage of the
United States." Many of Marx's racist ideas were reported in "Karl Marx, Racist," a book written by Nathaniel Weyl, a former
member of the U.S. Communist Party.
Why
I Want Biden to Lose More than I Want Trump to Win. Today's Democrats think the police are the enemy, not the
rioters, who they like to call "mostly peaceful protestors." Some Democrats have called law enforcement officers "storm
troopers" and "secret agents." When Donald Trump sent federal agents to Portland to stop the rioters from burning down the
federal courthouse, the mayor of the city and the governor of Oregon were angry with the president — not the
anarchists! This is a party that invited Attorney General William Barr to a congressional hearing but wouldn't let him
respond to their non-stop onslaught of attacks. They accused him of corruption, of perjury of violating his oath and of
betraying the Constitution. And when he tried to respond, they constantly interrupted to say, "I reclaim my time."
In plain English that means we get to talk and call you names and you're expected to shut up and take it. If that
happened on the street, someone would wind up with a bloody nose.
Far-left
Portland mayoral candidate can't bring herself to denounce violence. I joked on Friday after Portland's latest
nightly travesty that Mayor Ted Wheeler was destined to be challenged at the polls for his response. But, Portland
being Portland, it would be a challenge from the left, accusing him of being too pro-cop. I didn't realize when I wrote
that that it's already come to pass. He just missed winning a clear majority of the vote in Portland's May election,
finishing with 49 percent of the vote. The second-place finisher was ultra-left Sarah Iannarone, who nabbed a
respectable 24 percent in a crowded field. A poll taken in late June found Wheeler and Iannarone effectively tied,
with a third of Portland voters undecided. Given that the six weeks since that poll was taken haven't been a model of
tranquility for the city, God only knows how much of an anti-incumbent vote might be out there now. Iannarone could be
a legit contender.
Seattle City
Council approves plan to defund police department, slashes jobs and salaries. The Seattle City Council voted
Monday to move forward with a controversial proposal that would begin the process of defunding the police department.
The 7-1 vote comes despite objections from the city's police chief, mayor and the Seattle Police Officers' Guild. The
plan would ultimately slash funding to the department but not the 50% some had sought. Seattle currently has around
1,400 police officers, and the current plan would see about 100 cut. It was also cut the police department's
$400 million budget by about $3 million, according to KOMO. Councilmember Kshama Sawant was the sole "no"
vote because she felt the proposals didn't go far enough, while Debora Juarez abstained, according to MyNorthWest.com.
Democrat-Controlled
Seattle Votes To Defund Police As Violent Crime, Far-Left Riots Surge. The Democrat-controlled Seattle City
Council voted late on Monday to advance a highly controversial plan to defund the Seattle Police Department as violent crime
and far-left riots have rocked the city in recent months. The Seattle City Council voted to remove approximately
$3 million from the Seattle Police Department's budget, [...]
'Defund the Police'
is a media fantasy. If you've paid any attention to the news, particularly cable news, over the last couple of
months since George Floyd's killing by police in Minneapolis, you might think "defunding" or "abolishing" the police is a
widely held and even somewhat mainstream desire. Gallup suggests this is untrue. The vast majority of Americans
of all races and ethnicities don't want the police to leave their communities.
Coronavirus
negotiation 'makes me wonder' if Democrats want to tank economy: Navarro. White House trade adviser Peter
Navarro said Sunday [8/9/2020] that he's beginning to wonder if Democrats are purposely stalling coronavirus stimulus negotiations to
tank the economy in an attempt to make President Trump look bad. "There is this theory, Chuck, that the Democrats would
prefer to see the economy go into the tank for another 90 days because that harms the president," Navarro told Chuck Todd on
Sunday in an interview on "Meet the Press." "I hope that Capitol Hill hasn't become that cynical. But watching these
negotiations makes me wonder, because we've been willing to bend." Talks have been stalled for weeks as Democrats have
asked for more than $3 trillion in the relief bill while Republicans are looking for a narrower package around $1 trillion.
Trump
boxes Democrats into a corner on help for the unemployed. President Trump has given the Democrats a surprise
thrashing, hoisting them on their own petard over stimulus payments in what must be the legislative jiujitsu of the year.
[...] They had their chance to pass a stimulus bill that would have helped the unemployed, but for them,
first-things-first: They held that package hostage to the all-important need, for them, of bailing out mismanaged blue
Democrat cites and their unions. The little guy's $400 weekly unemployment check booster would have to wait.
Plus, multi-milionaire Pelosi pooh-poohed those checks as "an illusion" same as she did the news that workers were getting
$1,000 raises during the Trump boom years, calling those "crumbs."
Fighting
Leftists' Assault on American Small Business. There is a war on small business right now in this country.
The battle lines are tied to the tenets of capitalism and free markets, which value property rights and private ownership of
production, versus socialism and communism, which value "workers" and communal or state property. When we think of
property rights, land and home ownership comes to mind. But it also includes the right to own and operate a business
and be the beneficiary of the risks and rewards. The Marxist goal is to deplete the ranks and efficacy of small
business in America and have the remains subsumed by fewer and larger corporations, as well as government. The next
stage will focus on dividing the leadership and workforce in large corporations. [...] Right now the revolutionaries need the
titans of industry on their side. Non-cooperation is synonymous with blasphemy. Evidence of this was the
apoplectic response of the left's messengers when the CEO of Goya Foods did not sing their tune.
Too late!
Portland
Mayor Ted Wheeler Now Begs Criminal Antifa Terrorists to Stay Home So Trump Won't Use His Failed City in His Ads.
It's a toss-up but Democrat Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler may have squeaked out a victory against Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot
and Democrat New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio as America's worst mayor. Just two weeks ago Mayor Wheeler blamed President
Trump and federal agents for the 50-plus days of BLM-Antifa rioting in Portland. But that didn't work because it was complete
nonsense so now Wheeler is begging BLM-Antifa rioters to stay away from Portland because Trump is going to use their violent acts
in his campaign ads.
The Apocalypse
Election. I have written many times that those on the left, because they believe they are on the side of all
that is right and just, are willing to commit any depravity and injustice to gain the power they need to remake
America. Most Americans, however, do not understand this about the Democrats. People believe all Americans have
only the best intentions and would never deliberately harm the nation and its citizenry merely to obtain political
power. Therefore, people can only look on with incredulity as Democrats blatantly strive to keep Democrat-controlled
state economies on lockdown — and, with the help of teachers unions, keep most schools closed in an attempt to
deliberately immiserate Americans and their families in the hopes their suffering can be used against Trump. With
schools closed its been estimated that as many as 20 million workers will not be able to return to employment because they
lack childcare, not to mention the irreparable damage the children will suffer. Combined with the lockdowns, this will only
aid in ensuring a hobbled economy with which they can blame and batter President Trump to deny him a second term as president.
Amid
Cancel Culture, Now Academics Have Their Next Target: Pickup Trucks. We have watched our society slide
into a disturbing trend of permissiveness when it comes to assaulting and removing aspects of our culture. Between
evictions of historical monuments, the eradicating of entertainment properties and the condemning of commonplace practices,
we have almost become conditioned to accepting these efforts. Now we may be seeing the effects of this movement
metastasizing. The Wall Street Journal delivered a lengthy treatise that looks at a normal aspect of American life, one
that almost nobody looks at as being a nefarious component in our existence, with contempt: driving pickup trucks.
The Editor says...
If you don't like pickup trucks, you should stay away from Texas!
Polls
and Debates — Summertime Blues for Democrats. Democrats now support urban destruction, domestic
terrorism, hating America, defunding law enforcement, closing schools, and a full-on endorsement of the Sanders/AOC Marxist
agenda. If Democrats truly wanted a Bernie revolution, he would be their nominee, rather than Joe Biden. I wonder
if Trump planned it this way, branding Sanders as "Crazy Bernie," goading the DNC into nominating a supposedly more moderate
Biden. Better corrupt, incompetent, and demented than crazy must have been the DNC reasoning, but now they are left
with a big steaming mess and few options to clean it up.
Mazie Hirono, Pro-Antifa Democrats Walk Out of
Hearing, Refusing to Utter a Single Word Against Their Violent, Racist Paramilitary Thugs, Antifa. Kyle
Shideler, an analyst for the Center for Security Policy and an expert in terrorism including the doctrines and tactics of
Antifa, testified before Ted Cruz's panel of antifa violence yesterday [8/4/2020]. He says he was expecting the Democrats
to demur about their paramilitary allies' violence — but he was shocked to find Democrats outright supporting antifa.
Monsters Galore.
Liberation movements, at least in this country, always begin with a great sweeping cause — giving the vote and the
right to rise upward to nonwhites and to women — that justly enlists most nonwhites and most women, and, once
those are achieved, the goals devolve down to things such as abortion and quotas, which are more problematic, and on which
many good people divide. On things such as these, there are enormous divides between the voters themselves and the
interest groups that claim to speak for them: In the primaries this year, Democratic nonwhites and women showed no
interest whatever in voting for members of their own race or gender, and much more in supporting the people whose views they
espoused. Those who ran strongest on race and abortion — Kirsten Gillibrand and "Beto" O'Rourke, who fawned
on an ethnic group that he didn't belong to — left the race with between a 2 percent and a zero percent rating.
Insights to Consider
Before November. Women are upset at Trump's naughty words. They also bought 80 million copies of
50 Shades of Gray. Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders. It seems women's rights only matter if
those women are liberal. No border wall. No voter ID laws. Did you figure it out yet? But wait... there's
more. Chelsea Clinton got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid $900,000 per year. Her mom flies around
the country speaking out about white privilege. And just like that, they went from being against foreign interference
in our elections to allowing non-citizens to vote in our elections. President Trump's wall costs less than the
Obamacare website. Let that sink in, America. We are one election away from open borders, socialism, gun
confiscation, and full-term abortion nationally. We are fighting evil.
Communist
Party Leader Endorses Joe Biden. Communist Party leader Bob Avakian has announced his support for former Vice
President Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election. Avakian, the founder and leader of the Revolutionary
Communist Party USA, told his followers in a statement on Saturday [8/1/2020] that they should vote for Joe Biden in the 2020
presidential election.
Will
Democrats accept election loss? New report says no. For weeks, there have been news reports and
commentary on whether President Trump will "accept" the results of November's election. The president started it on
July 19 when he was asked, on Fox News Sunday, "Can you give a direct answer you will accept the election?" "I have to
see," Trump said. "I have to see. No, I'm not going to just say yes. I'm not going to say no, and I didn't
last time, either." [...] So there is much discussion of Trump and the election results. But there is another, equally
pressing question: Will Democrats accept the results of the election if Joe Biden loses? A new report suggests
the answer could be no. The report comes from a secretive group called the Transition Integrity Project. A
bipartisan, anti-Trump organization, TIP was created last year by Georgetown law professor Rosa Brooks and historian and
think tanker Nils Gilman, "out of concern that the Trump administration may seek to manipulate, ignore, undermine or disrupt
the 2020 presidential election and transition process."
Revolutionary
Communist Party Leader Calls on People to Vote for Joe Biden. The leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party
USA, Bob Avakian, has stated that we currently live under a "fascist regime" and, come November, if President Donald Trump is
still in office, then people need to vote "against Trump by voting for Biden." "We are confronted by — we are
now being ruled by — a fascist regime," said Avakian in a statement on the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP)
website. "[T]his election is different. ... The question is not whether Biden and the Democrats represent something 'good,'
or whether, in fundamental terms, the Democrats are 'better' than the Republicans. Both of these parties are ruling
class political parties, and none of their candidates represent anything 'good' in the most basic and essential sense.
Biden is not 'better' than Trump...."
Mazie
Hirono walks out of Antifa hearing in a huff, Ted Cruz confronts her. Democrat Senator Mazie Hirono got
triggered after Republican Senator Ted Cruz pressed her to condemn Antifa violence. Not only did Hirono refuse to
disavow the left-wing savagery, but she walked out of Cruz's Antifa hearing in a huff. Hirono's refusal to denounce the
Antifa riots, looting, arson, and assaults is like the ostrich that buries its head in the sand, hoping this nullifies
reality. Hirono walked out after a testy exchange with Cruz, who was chairing a Senate hearing on the role that Antifa
and Black Lives Matter extremists are playing in the alarming escalation of violence around the country.
'You're Welcome To
Say Something Negative About Antifa Right Now': Ted Cruz Spars With Mazie Hirono At Senate Hearing. Republican
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz clashed with Democratic Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono at the end of a Senate subcommittee hearing
Tuesday [8/4/2020] on antifa violence. Cruz, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the
Constitution, convened the hearing to discuss the role antifa and other left-wing groups play in ongoing riots in major U.S.
cities like Portland. [...] "I think that I've covered the subject quite well," Hirono said as she left. "OK, she
declined to speak, so that is the position of the Democratic Party," Cruz shot back. "I would note also that of the
seven Democratic senators who spoke, not one of them apologized for or denounced multiple Democrats calling law enforcement
officers Nazis, stormtroopers and Gestapo. To be fair, I have not heard the word Nazi, but stormtrooper was Nancy
Pelosi and Gestapo was another Democratic leader. That was less than helpful."
Dem
Senator walks out of Ted Cruz's Antifa hearing: 'I don't think you listen'. Tensions flared at a Senate hearing
on Antifa when a top Democrat walked out of the room declaring she couldn't sit through Sen. Ted Cruz's rhetorical
speeches any longer. The dustup occurred when Cruz, R-Texas, blasted Democrats for not condemning Antifa more directly
for the violence and destruction that has taken hold in certain U.S. cities in the wake of George Floyd's death in
Minneapolis. But Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, said Cruz just wasn't listening during the more than three-hour
hearing when Democrats said violence is not acceptable.
Mark
Levin admonishes Democrats' treatment of Barr at hearing. Conservative radio host Mark Levin said Democrats
with a "radical, hardcore agenda" were "beating up" Attorney General William Barr during a House Judiciary Committee hearing
last week. "I've never seen a senior official of any administration ever treated like that," Levin said Saturday on Fox
News's Watters' World, adding, "This hearing should have been how do we come together as a nation to put down rioters who
were trying to overthrow the country. Marxists, anarchists, whether they're Black Lives Matter or antifa. But
that's not how it works. The Democrat Party is all in on this radical, hardcore agenda. And so they're beating up
on the attorney general." Barr appeared before the House Judiciary Committee last Tuesday in a hearing that was often
contentious as Democrats repeatedly cut off his responses by saying they were "reclaiming my time." At one point, Chairman
Jerry Nadler briefly denied Barr a five-minute break during the more than three-hour hearing, prompting the attorney general
to call him a "class act."
Cancel
Culture as a Religion. What do religions do? They have a belief system. They have an orthodoxy, and
if you don't conform to the orthodoxy you are a heretic. Here in Seattle Spiked reports that the "Office of
Civil Rights has come up with a 'race and social justice' curriculum which the city government's 10,000 employees must
undertake." [...] This is what the Inquisition did. This is what the Soviets did. This is what the Maoists
did. This is what the Wokies are doing.
Was
Karen Bass To Be Biden's VP Pick — Until The Daily Caller's Revelations About Her and Scientology?
As was reported here yesterday [8/1/2020] by my colleague Becca Lower, without warning the Biden Campaign announced that Joe
Biden's selection of his 2020 running mate was being postponed for two weeks. Also yesterday, the Daily Caller reported
on leading VP contender Karen Bass's history of praising the "Church" of Scientology in Los Angeles, and its founder, science
fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. The "Church of Scientology" has a major presence in Los Angeles. The industrial
entertainment complex known as "Hollywood", especially on the "talent" side has many who advocate that clutching a couple of
tin cylinders wired to a box and confessing all your impure thoughts is a path to inner peace. That, and a couple
hundred thousand dollars paid to the "church" for books, tapes, and "counseling" sessions with an "auditor" to guide you
along on your path to salvation — at the standard hourly rate for such services by a "Church."
The Choice Before Us.
Back at home, left-wing radicals burn Bibles, assault and murder policemen and civilians, set fire to courthouses, vandalize
and loot all manner of businesses. On Friday [7/30/2020], thugs in Portland placed a pig's head on an American flag
outside the city's Justice Center. They put a policeman's cap atop it, doused it with a firestarter, and set it
aflame. The name of George Floyd, the career criminal who died in police custody at the end of May, was at first
invoked mantra-like to justify or at least to explain this explosion of savagery. Now, a couple of months later, there
are still ritual invocations of his name but, really, you don't hear too much about Floyd. The real agenda has come
more and more to the fore. Barack Obama summed it up when he said, in 2008, that he was after the fundamental
transformation of the United States of America. Cities like Portland give us a glimpse of what that transformation
would entail. The clips of the savages burning Bibles put me in mind of Heinrich Heine's solemn observation that
Dort wo man Búcher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen: "Wherever people burn books, they also
end up burning men." It may seem melodramatic, but here is the awful choice we face: the choice between the spirit of
mayhem, burning pigs' heads, and burning Bibles, on the one side, and the traditional American spirit that cherishes the rule
of law, free expression, and fructifying engines of prosperity, on the other.
The poisonous fruit of the public schools:
Nearly
Half Of Young Americans Say It's Okay To Fire People Who Support Trump. The Cato Institute just released a new
report showing that 62 percent of Americans are inclined to self-censor what they say politically "because others might find
them offensive." Even moderate leftists report they feel increased fear of offending the offendable, while only the most
"staunch liberals," as Cato described them, feel free to speak their minds. The "very conservative" have been pushed
deepest in the closet: they are most likely to refrain from saying what they think politically, at nearly twice the rate of
the "very liberal." Buried deeper in the report, however, is a stunning data point that might be one of the most troubling
current cultural indicators. Forty-four percent of Americans younger than age 30 believe a company is correct in firing
an executive because he or she personally donated to President Trump's reelection campaign.
Rubio
hits Biden veep prospect Karen Bass as Castro regime sympathizer. Trump campaign surrogates in Florida on
Saturday attacked Rep. Karen Bass, a potential running mate of Democrat Joseph R. Biden, as a communist sympathizer who
would try to bring the U.S. closer to the socialist governments of Cuba and Venezuela. "If God forbid Joe Biden is
elected president and Congresswoman Bass becomes vice president, she will be the highest-ranking Castro sympathizer in the
history of the United States government," said Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican. "I don't believe in the last
six decades that there has ever been anyone considered for the vice presidency ... with this level of sympathy towards a
Marxist regime." Ms. Bass, California Democrat and chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, is on Mr. Biden's
short list for his running mate. The presumptive Democratic nominee said he plans to announce his selection next week.
Don't
Be Surprised By Democrats' Radical Turn. Much of today's political commentary is focused on the Democrats'
hard-left swing, how it's now the party of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or the party of The Squad, to which she
belongs, or is under the influence of socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and the Bernie Bros gang of militants.
This should surprise no one. The seeds of radicalism were planted long ago. Democratic strategist and Friend of
Bill James Carville recently said he is "scared to death" for the future of the Democratic Party. "Are we going to be
an ideological cult? Or do we want to have a majoritarian instinct to be a majority party?"
Democrats'
Policies are Unfit for the Presidency. The Constitution a president pledges to serve prescribes a government of
strict limits, not the unlimited power to take what a person has earned and give it to other people for any desire under the
sun. One of the natural rights the Constitution is supposed to secure is to one's own property. That's because
what a person owns represents his life — his time and labor. It can never be truly paid back after it is
taken, because to take a person's property is to steal hours, days, weeks, years of his life that he will never get
back. It is to enslave him. Democrats' entire plan for governance is a plan to abuse American citizens' natural
rights to life, liberty, and property. For health care or education or housing or any other material good to be a
"right" requires that other people be forced into labor to supply such goods. It is to proclaim a right to other
people's work, which is to say their lives. A right to control other people's lives is no right at all. It is an
abuse of power. It is tyranny. Pledges to accelerate tyranny, which equal treason against the Constitution,
utterly disqualify a person and party from United States government.
We're at War. Attacking Trump's
Tweet in the NYT While the Democrats Foment Riots & Ruin to Defeat Him is Treason. [Scroll down] The
people trying to destroy us stopped caring about the rules ages ago. They faked Russian cyber-espionage against the
Clinton Campaign to discredit WikiLeaks revelations about her corruption and incompetence. They tried to frame Trump as
part of their phony Russian plot. They used the FBI to illegally spy on Trump's campaign. They gave Robert
Mueller power and an unlimited budget to destroy Trump and as many of his allies as possible. They organized and
promoted Christine Blasey Ford's perjurous hoax. They tried to remove Trump from office for his patently reasonable
attempt to get Ukrainian authorities to investigate Joe Biden's obvious corruption. They've caused an economic
catastrophe that could very well wind up being worse than the Great Depression, gaslit the entire nation into months of
debilitating fear and panic, and caused the deaths of countless Americans by lying and withholding information about a virus
that all the data literally says is less harmful than the flu. They've fomented riots across the nation and caused the
murder of American police officers and ordinary citizens alike by promoting the poisonous false narrative that American cops
start their day fervently hoping they'll get a chance to kill someone who isn't white. And that's just the egregious,
defamatory and destructive mass deceptions the Democrats and their allies in the corporate press have perpetrated.
Insane:
Seattle Moves to Abolish Entire Police Force. Well, it may be time to deploy the military to Seattle after all
because what local lawmakers are doing is nothing short of allowing the city to be engulfed in violence and anarchy.
They're moving to abolish the police. It's not defunding. It's a total dissolution. Non-profit programs and
"community-led activities" will replace policing. Why? Well, according to the resolution, the Seattle Police
Department perpetuates racism and violence. Oh, yes, and it's a vehicle of white supremacy. It's typical 'woke'
nonsense, and it's a cancer that's killing America.
From
Alinsky to AOC: Will Communism Finally Win in America? With last weekend bringing us violence across the
country from "peaceful protestors" who believe America as we know it must be dismantled and capitalism should be replaced
with a utopian system of "social justice" — sentiments not rejected but embraced by the Democratic Party and its
presumptive presidential candidate, Joe Biden — we have to conclude that while we may have won the Cold War in
Europe, here in America, it rages on. Yes, America and her allies may have defeated the deadly totalitarian, Communist
Soviet Union, but Communism is very much alive today.
Trump:
Radical Left Wants To Leave Every City At Their Mercy, Incite Riots. President Donald Trump lashed out at
radical Democrats, calling them "sick" and accusing them of not loving the country in a speech he delivered Wednesday on
restoring American energy dominance and the U.S. economy. "The radical left wants to tear down everything in its way,"
Trump said. "And in its place, they want power for themselves. They want power. Hard to believe —
power. They want to uproot and demolish every American value. They want to wipe away every trace of religion from
national life. They want to indoctrinate our children, defund our police, abolish the suburbs, incite riots, and leave
every city at the mercy of the radical left. That's not going to happen. That's not going to happen."
[Video clip]
No Holds Barred at the House Lynch
Session. [Attorney General William Barr] is strong and fierce, does not give an inch, does not get thrown off
message, sticks to his guns, and sticks it to those who would take him down. [...] For the Democrats the hearing [7/28/2020]
was "no holds barred." No lie was off the table. No insult was beneath them. Under the guise of asking the
Attorney General to answer questions, they rather used their allotted time to berate him, to berate President Trump, and to
lie about the Antifa and other anarchist-driven riots that seek to undermine our Republic and to tear away our freedom.
They were not asking questions, and they did not allow Barr to answer them or speak when he tried. Rather, they were
like a parent on a tear against a child in big trouble, or a boss on a rampage about to fire his or her employee.
Seattle
residents slam 'Defund the police' as 'radical experiment' during city budget meeting. Hundreds of Seattle
residents spoke up about proposals to "Defund the police" during a city council budget meeting on Wednesday [7/29/2020],
according to reports. The council is considering a plan that could slash the budget of the city's police department by
50 percent — resulting in layoffs for hundreds of officers — all as Seattle deals with the coronavirus
outbreak and frequent riots and other unrest since the May 25 death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.
While the "Defund the police" effort was initially popular in the city, opponents of the plan have been growing more vocal,
Q13 FOX of Seattle reported.
Tick,
Tick, Boom, Boom, Time's Up, Obama Goons? Three fuses have been set and are now burning: (1) the explosive
origin story of the Russia hoax, (2) the growing backlash against Democratic Party-endorsed Antifa domestic terrorism, and
(3) the bottled up economy being shaken right now with one little thumb preventing a carbonated eruption. They have the
potential to redefine the final hundred days of this race in a way that the Democrats' electoral fraud cannot overcome.
It's a contest between a news media establishment that has gaslighted the American people regarding a Russia hoax of the
Democrats' creation and all the Americans who have felt that their votes have been taken hostage since 2016. It's a contest
between Democrat mayors turning American cities into war zones where Antifa insurrectionists can throw Molotov cocktails and
bricks at police officers free from consequences and a growing number of Americans who finally understand that the socialists
running the Democratic Party mean to keep going until the whole nation burns.
Don't Lecture
Me. We are indeed fortunate to have these liberals with us to enlighten us and show us the error of our
unsophisticated, primitive thinking. It's always such a pleasure to be lectured to by hypocritical liberals like Nancy
Pelosi with her $24,000 refrigerator and $12/pint ice cream, living behind her security gates and consuming more energy than
[who]-knows-what. Or by Democrats like Al Gore and Barbara Streisand or just by 'regular' well-heeled Democrats who
live in large houses, alone or just two people, in a 9- or 10-room 3000 sq ft+ home with a big screen TV in every room,
central AC and a big, honkin' SUV or luxury car in the three-car garage. This after watching them embark on a lifelong
pursuit of monetary wealth and material possessions/snooty fashion. Capitalism, tax breaks and profits for them, thank
you, but socialism, spread-the-wealth, and high taxes for us detestable conservatives.
Are
You Sure 'Vote for Joe Biden or We'll Kill You' Is the Best Campaign Pitch? Supporters of a candidate with
confidence in the politician's ability to win based on making the better argument don't usually use the
heckler's-veto-on-steroids to coerce people to their point of view. Yet that is precisely what Ronald Brownstein did in
an article in The Atlantic. The underlying tone of the article is: "Vote for Joe Biden or the national
temper tantrum will only get worse." He accuses the president of positioning blue cities as a threat in order to rally
voters to his law-and-order agenda. A brief scroll of Twitter will show you that riots in cities like Seattle and
Portland are absolutely a threat to safety and security. No one needs President Trump to
point it out.
The lunacy of the 'largely peaceful protest'.
The great conundrum facing the anti-American left at the moment is how to react to the violent protest ripping up various
Democratic-run cities. What is the preferred narrative? The two main choices are 1) it's all peaceful
protest, the 'right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances'? or
2) let 'er rip: we're out there destroying stuff and hurting people because the country's falling apart and
the sooner the better. Just so, a contributor to the Oregonian, announcing his fears of an impending
'anti-democratic, racist police state', wondered whether he would find 'the courage to resist racism and fascism', by which I
suspect he means a free, open, and democratic election in which a candidate he does not favor has the indelicacy
to win. For it should go without saying that the overriding criterion for choosing which narrative to plug is
this: which story will do the most damage to Donald Trump and Republican prospects in the November election?
Hello
Liberals: Your Politics Will Not Get You to Justice. Back in June our beloved Seattle City Council passed
Ordinance 119805 that forbad the Seattle Police Department from using pepper spray on mostly peaceful protesters as of July
26, 2020. So the Chief of Police put out a letter to business owners and residents on July 24 that, sorry Charlie, "the
legislation gives officers NO ability to safely intercede to preserve property in the midst of a large, violent crowd." But
no worries, a federal judge just blocked the ordinance for two weeks so, on Saturday night when mostly peaceful protesters
rioted in Seattle, the police department was able to use "less lethal tools" to disperse the crowd. But imagine if the
mostly peaceful leftie protesters were white nationalists marching to protest in the face of woke Seattle that Blue Lives
Matter. I don't think that the Seattle City Council would be forbidding the use of tear gas or the less harmful pepper
spray. Imagine the outrage among the media and the Twitterati and the bellowing call for the police to regain control
of "our streets."
The Establishment Has No Clothes.
No one earns accolades for living an upright life. Mike Pence makes a rule that he won't be seen alone with a female
not his wife in order to quash any possible perception he might act in an untoward fashion or even be tempted to, and he's
ridiculed and calumnied for it. When Drew Brees stands up for the American flag he's forced to apologize. When
Bari Weiss makes a stand for diversity of opinion within the pages of the New York Times, including running an op-ed
from a popular U.S. senator, she's hounded out of her job.
Democrats
Start to Worry Support for Portland Riots Will Help Trump. The first signs of worry emerged early Monday
[7/27/2020] as some opponents of Trump, surveying the damage after a weekend of nationwide riots, began to worry openly if
supporting "peaceful protests" in Portland, Oregon, would hurt Democrats. Led by former Vice President Joe Biden,
Democrats have insisted that the riots targeting a federal courthouse and federal law enforcement officers in Portland are
actually "peaceful." They have been supported by media that downplays violence committed by the "protesters" and highlights
anything the officers do to defend themselves or to disperse the crowd. The Democrats have also demonized federal law
enforcement for merely doing what local authorities have refused to do.
This is not news. It is a lengthy and roundabout way of stating the obvious.
Liberals
fuel cancel culture because they don't fear getting canceled. Liberals once prided themselves on being
open-minded. In contrast, today's resurgent Left seeks to police opinion and ruin the lives of those who disagree with
them. Whether it's in the world of business or sports, on college campuses or within newsrooms, there has been a
significant shrinking of discourse, thanks to efforts by so-called liberals to target those who disagree with them.
Now, a new poll provides some insight into why that may be. Put simply, liberals are eager to cancel those who disagree
with them because they do not fear that those same tactics will be used against them. And they are right not to fear
because non-liberals are not nearly as likely to be cancelers.
Dan
Crenshaw: 'My suggestion to the American people is start listening to the Democrats'. U.S. Rep. Dan
Crenshaw urged Americans to listen carefully to what is coming out of the mouths of Democrats. The Texas Republican
warned that there is a lot at stake in November during an appearance on Fox News, adding that there is a "clear choice" for
the 2020 presidential election and the difference between the parties "could not be more severe." [...] "Let's take them at
their word — they want to destroy the things that bring us together, our common bonds, our founding, our love of
country. Why do they do that? Whey do they say those things?" he asked. "Because fundamentally they want to
dismantle our country and its institutions — that's not my words, that's their words — dismantle our
economic freedom, our border security, our energy sector, all of it."
Liberals
are never scared to speak up. Why are conservatives? A handful of friends and I have spoken privately
about the crippling anxiety apparently only experienced by independents and right-leaners when politics comes up in a social
setting. Right up until now, it was just a theory. A new study confirms what we suspected all along:
Liberals really do feel like they can spew their thoughts freely, while everyone else quivers with fear that anything they
say might offend. The Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, published a study this week showing that overall, 62%
of people in the United States believe that the current "political climate" keeps them from sharing their political
opinions. Broken down by ideology, however, self-identified liberals and "strong" liberals were significantly more
likely to feel comfortable airing their opinions than centrists or conservatives.
The Editor says...
Marxists are bent on the violent overthrow of our government. Socialists and Marxists proudly engage in violent insurrection
every night in Seattle and Portland, among other places. Violence and hate speech come from the political left, not the right.
Just ask Bernell Trammell. Socialists have a propensity for physical violence. It is therefore no surprise
that those of us on the right refrain from expressing our views.
33 Tough Questions to Pose to the 'Woke'.
1. Do you think the same laws should apply equally to citizens, regardless of their political opinions, unless they favor the violent overthrow of the government?
2. Or is it okay for whatever faction is more powerful to silence the expression of contrary ideas, insofar as they can get away with it?
3. Should we make "hate speech" exceptions to silence people whose speech we really, really hate?
4. Should small groups of people be able to dictate public policy without democratically passing laws?
5. Even if they hold signs, attack public monuments, and claim that they're fighting "racism"?
6. Do you believe that generally, people should be free to associate with whomever they wish, and hire whom they like?
7. Or should the federal government scrutinize every private decision made by any citizen or business, to see if it has "disparate impact" on minority groups?
8. Should members of minority groups be subject to similar laws regarding their conduct, or should they be exempt?
9. Should white males be subject to discrimination, as a non-protected class, while others are protected from it?
Democrats'
Draft 2020 Platform: White People Are the Root of All Evil. In 2020, it's definitely not "OK to be White"
at the Democratic National Convention. A draft of the DNC's 2020 Democratic Party Platform obtained by Politico shows a
frequent focus on racial issues, with language that repeatedly accuses whites in America of benefiting unfairly from society
at the expense of minorities. The preamble to the platform reads: "We will give hate no safe harbor. We
will never amplify or legitimize the voices of bigotry, racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, or white supremacy."
Curiously, in the 15 times the document mentioned "whites," it doesn't capitalize the word the way it does Blacks, Latinos,
Asian Americans, and Native Americans. Every time "whites" are brought up, it's in a critical way. Often, the
platform vows to "close the gap" between white Americans and all other Americans — without providing solutions.
Report:
Working Class Voters In Pennsylvania Are Wary Of Joe Biden And Democrat Policies. One of the reasons Democrats
went with Joe Biden is because they really want to win back Pennsylvania in November. Some polls show Biden having a
slight lead over Trump in the state, but there are plenty of voters there, many of them Democrats, who know deep down that
Biden and the Democrats will be bad news for jobs, especially in the energy sector.
Portland
City Officials Order Feds to Remove Protective Fence from Courts Building to Aid Rioters in their Ransacking.
Mayor Ted Wheeler and Portland, Oregon officials have made it clear whose side they're on and it's not the side of law and
order. For over 50 straight nights antifa-BLM rioters have ransacked the downtown and destroyed public property.
[Video clip] When the leftist mob took aim at the Hatfield United States Courthouse that President Trump sent in
federal agents. Now Portland officials are ORDERING the federal government to remove it's protective fencing around the
Hatfield Courthouse.
'Absolutely
irresponsible': DHS chief calls Democrats' condemnation of law enforcement 'dangerous'. Acting Department of
Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf warned against a "dangerous" trend of demonizing law enforcement across the
country. As federal officers have clashed with protesters amid violent unrest in Portland over the past few weeks, Wolf
said Sunday that there's been an inaccurate description of what agents are doing to control the situation and that calling
the demonstrations "peaceful" is misleading. Wolf said when he recently spoke with Democratic members of Congress, only
one lawmaker, whom he didn't mention by name, asked him if his officers were OK. "We're standing up for law and
order," Wolf said on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo [7/26/2020]. "And anyone who says otherwise
is not being accurate. I will say that the other side that wants to criticize law enforcement, what they don't do, they
do not condemn these acts of violence in Portland. I have talked with a number of Democratic members of Congress, and
all but one, only one, have asked me about the health of my officers. All they want to do is condemn law enforcement
for doing their job."
The
Problem in Portland Isn't the Law — It's the Lawlessness. Despite the occasional looting, chaos,
property damage, trespassing, rioting, graffiti, assaults, arson, and general mayhem, the media consistently assure us that
Antifa "protesters" are "largely peaceful." And since the majority of buildings in Portland, Seattle, and Denver haven't been
looted yet, who am I to argue? Of course, it takes only a sliver of the population to transform downtowns into a mess
and create quality-of-life issues for thousands of law-abiding citizens. And the mayors who surrender parts of their
cities to left-wing "protesters" are tacitly endorsing lawlessness themselves. [...] If mayors do nothing to stop anarchists
from tearing down federal monuments or from defacing, vandalizing, and attempting to burn down federal buildings, the feds
have every right to dispatch teams of agents to restore order.
What
Top Democrats Say About Federal Law Enforcement Help for Their Cities. Democratic mayors and other leaders of
some large cities have grown edgier in opposing President Donald Trump's push to use federal agents to quell violence, using
terms such as "resist" and "fascist." Some elected Democrats in affected cities have vowed to sue and even arrest federal
agents as they criticize federal action to protect government property in Portland, Oregon. For "Operation Legend," the
White House has announced plans to send federal law enforcement officials to Chicago; Kansas City, Missouri; and Albuquerque,
New Mexico. Over the next three weeks, the Justice Department intends to expand the effort into Cleveland, Detroit, and
Milwaukee.
Freedom
to Deface. Mayor Bill de Blasio has cancelled a graffiti-eradication program targeted at cleaning private
buildings. He is thus deliberately sending New York City back to its worst days of crime and squalor. The
symbolic significance of this cancellation is as large as its practical effect. Nothing sent a stronger signal in the
late 1980s that New York was determined to fight back from anarchy than the transit system's campaign against subway
graffiti. That campaign was based on Broken Windows theory, the most transformative idea in urban policy over the last
40 years. Broken Windows recognizes that physical disorder and low-level lawlessness — graffiti,
turnstile-jumping, and litter — telegraph that social control in a disordered environment has broken down.
That low-level lawlessness invites more contempt for public norms of behavior, including felony crime.
Democrats
Project their own Character Flaws onto Republicans. Democrats claim they support free speech, but then they
label opposition speech as "hate speech" in order to suppress it. Liberals tell white conservatives they cannot express
an opinion on race and tell men they cannot hold an opinion opposed to abortion. Democrats like to characterize
Republicans as poorly educated religious nuts bitterly clinging to God and their guns. Yet radical liberal activists,
who support Democrats and are supported by them, have been the first to resort to violence in the recent Black Lives Matter
"protests" that have often escalated into riots.
Not likely, unless you like high taxes, crowds, rampant crime, and snow.
Andrew Cuomo Knows What You're
Thinking: Let's Frantically Flee to 'Safe' New York. Despite pandemic problems and — at least
in the Big Apple — a surge of murder, apparently, The Empire State's the place to be. During his Monday
[7/20/2020] press conference, the governor declared a major victory in the fight against COVID-19, given a July 12th report
of no coronavirus deaths. The state hasn't been able to make that claim since March. Andrew explained that NY's
pandemic progress has taken the lead over other states, and so people are running into its safe arms. But here's the
rub: He also said the throngs of refugees may cause a corona uptick.
America Held Hostage. Things we
thought were sacrosanct, the icons of our national identity, now are scorned. We can pretend that this doesn't
matter. They're just statues, after all. But they do matter. Not for the pleasure they give the rioters so
much as for the pain they inflict on patriots who love America. Nor has it stopped with the vandalism. We've gone
to the next level, with the looting and rioting. In the last month major cities have become unsafe, as rioters work out
the logic of what "resistance" means. American stores lost hundreds of millions of dollars, and merchants boarded up
their stores for protection. Nothing to see here, folks, said the liberal media, which gaslighted the looting and the
boarded-up storefronts, and portrayed the riots as peaceful protests against an illegitimate president. [...] We're in the
middle of a chicken game, where the Left tells us they'll let this go on as long as Trump is president. The liberal
media will ignore the riots, the liberal mayors will tell the local police to stand down, the liberal prosecutors will
promptly release anyone arrested. Try to defend yourself, and you'll find yourself prosecuted.
Driving on a flat tire:
DNC
Milwaukee Convention Continues to Shrink — Latest Prediction of Only 350 Attendees. The DNC
Milwaukee Convention continues to shrink. The latest prediction suggests possibly only 350 participants will attend
their presidential convention in Milwaukee this year. [...] Democrats cancelled plans for a closing night speech at
Milwaukee's Miller Park Stadium back in November 2019. That was before the coronavirus. But since the
coronavirus the convention plans have been scaled down significantly.
Mayor
de Blasio: NYC Is Safer With Fewer People in Jail. New York City mayor Bill de Blasio (D.) said Thursday
[7/16/2020] that his city is safer and better with fewer people in jail, even as shootings and violence have spiked in the
city this summer. "We now have fewer people in our jails than any time since WWII and we are safer for it and better
for it," de Blasio said. But the city has experienced a dramatic uptick in crime this year. According to the most
recent NYPD crime statistics, violent crimes — including shootings, murders, and burglaries — have all
skyrocketed. Year-to-date shooting incidents in the city have increased by 61 percent, and the number of shooting
victims has increased by 70 percent.
If
America [Is] So Bad, You're Free to Leave. Honestly, if the country is such a cesspool of racism, sexism,
homophobia, oppression, brutality, and is fundamentally rigged against everyone not born with a silver spoon in their mouth,
why the hell have you stayed? It's not like you're in prison here, no matter how much you whine that it is like
one. You're out in the streets seemingly every other week "fighting oppression" over just about every way you can dream
up to claim someone is oppressed, crying about the fascism of this or that without it sinking in that you're still free to
whine about imagined fascism and if we really were a fascist country you'd be in jail or dead, why not get out? You
don't seem to have a coherent message beyond you hate it here, so leave.
Democrats
Are Forcing a Civil War. Americans believe that one can never be too rich, too thin, or too well armed.
And we are, indeed, well armed, with citizens who are beginning to see the game that is being played. Many estimate
that between 300 million and 700 million firearms are in the hands of the public. If only 10% of those guns
are brought to bear, it would mean a minimum of 30 million weapons deployed against Antifa and BLM. No one
wants to see bloodshed, especially gun-owners, who for the most part want to be left alone to protect their families, homes,
places of worship, and places of employment. Yet people are not going to stand by and watch America become another
"socialist paradise." Americans are going to fight back — this should worry the left, as every hunter is
something of a sniper.
Biden's
Green New Deal Is Just As Crazy As AOC's. Joe Biden's $2 trillion climate change plan, released this week,
was described by one liberal outlet as "the Green New Deal, minus the crazy." We beg to differ. Just look at Biden's
plan to eliminate the internal combustion engine. Biden says that on his first day in office, he will develop "rigorous
new fuel economy standards aimed at ensuring 100% of new sales for light- and medium-duty vehicles will be zero
emissions." He hasn't said exactly when he wants new cars to be all-electric, but House Democrats have already
established a timetable. Their new climate change plan calls for mandating 100% "clean" vehicles by 2035. Keep in
mind that as of today, plug-in electrics account for 0.5% of cars on the road, and made up less than 2% of new vehicles sold
in 2019. And that's despite massive public subsidies that have cost taxpayers $5 billion in credits to —
mostly wealthy — EV buyers. Clearly, consumers are not that interested in plug-ins, which is why Biden and
his fellow Democrats want to force electric cars on everyone in the name of climate change.
Leftist
Protests, More Sacred Than Church Services. For many Americans, the most painful consequence of the coronavirus
lockdowns was closing down church services. The grace and peace of Sunday makes it easier to make it through the
week. But our media and political elites are indifferent to that pain, or openly hostile. [...] Most regular
churchgoers didn't want to fit into that secular-media stereotype of being so fanatically trusting in God's protection that
they would gather unmasked in churches and share hugs and handshakes. Church singers would disband their choirs for the
duration. They were willing to observe lockdowns as a public-health necessity. But then came the "Black Lives
Matter" protests clogging the streets to protest the death of George Floyd. Suddenly, mass gatherings were not only
allowed, they were praised and glorified on a global scale. The coronavirus counters dropped off cable-news screens,
replaced by "beautiful" protest scenes, live from the streets.
Seattle
City Council Member Suggests Layoffs By Race If Police Budget Is Slashed, Chief Best Says No. Last week Ed
wrote about the push to cut Seattle's police budget by 50 percent. In response to that, Police Chief Carmen Best
released a video to her department warning that some budget cuts were probably coming. "I will fiercly advocate that we
focus on realistic, responsible solutions not political gestures or pandering or political posturing," Best said. She
continued, "I do not believe we should ask the people of Seattle to test out a theory that crime goes away if police go
away. That is completely reckless." That phrase made news and was even tweeted out by the White House.
I'm
Milwaukee's police chief. Here's what 'defunding the police' might mean. Our officers are also members of
the community, have families, care about police-community relations and, like everyone else, want to go home safely to their
loved ones at the end of their shift. I have heard the outcries of racial injustice. Generational wounds of
oppression, racism and disenfranchisement have been reopened by examples of totally unacceptable and completely illegal
police brutality. These are real emotions and reactions that cannot be understated. The byproduct of the past few
weeks is great division and further discord. It has turned into an "Us vs. Them" mentality. That must change.
De
Blasio says he's got 'no respect' for NYPD union leader amid public feud and rising crime. New York City Mayor
Bill de Blasio, who has had a contentious relationship with his police department practically since his first day in office,
said Thursday [7/16/2020] he has "no respect" for an NYPD union president who has ripped him often in the past. "The
[Sergeants Benevolent Association] has only practiced division, they foment hatred ... they do not try to help us move
forward," de Blasio said of the SBA during his daily press conference, the New York Post reported. "They don't try to
create anything good. I have no respect for the leadership of the SBA," he added.
Defiant
Portland mayor tells feds to 'stay inside' or 'leave' city, asks DHS to clean up graffiti. Portland, Ore.,
Mayor Ted Wheeler lashed out at the Department of Homeland Security on Twitter Tuesday [7/14/2020], urging federal agents to
"stay inside" or "leave" as the city faces its sixth straight week of protests and unrest. "I told the Acting Secretary
that my biggest immediate concern is the violence federal officers brought to our streets in recent days, and the
life-threatening tactics his agents use," Wheeler wrote Tuesday evening. "We do not need or want their help."
Beyond
City Council Chambers and Newsrooms, Americans Still Back the Blue. [Scroll down] Frankly, I don't have
much hope for the cities in the short term. People keep saying "vote them out," but the people saying that mostly don't
live in the cities. People who do live in the cities mostly don't vote in their local elections. Those who do
vote in those elections are more and more denizens of the hard left who see city government as their instrument of revenge
and path to their destructive fantasies about "transforming" America. Most Americans don't want America transformed or
reimagined. If anything, they want its best pre-plague aspects restored — such as the vibrant economy we had
and the historically low violent crime rates we took for granted less than six months ago. The urban cancel culture
leftists are far outside the American mainstream, but they dominate city elections and thereby own city council chambers.
'Hex
racists': Witch joins effort to take out conservative students at University of North Texas. A campaign
launched to oust a conservative student club at the University of North Texas includes a petition, a campus president
"looking into" the matter — and if that weren't enough, apparently a witch has joined the cause. The
president of the Young Conservatives of Texas chapter reportedly faces spells of some sort from at least one self-described
witch and possibly more who have sided with progressives seeking to pressure administrators to ban the group.
Dem
Rep. McEachin: Racial and Environmental Justice 'Intertwined'. During Friday's Democratic Weekly
Address, Rep. Donald McEachin (D-VA) stated that Americans recognize more has to be done to deal with "two critical and
intertwined issues in our nation: the unfinished work of racial justice and the need for environmental justice to
protect our communities."
The Editor says...
What is "environmental justice," and what does the environment have to do with race?
Seattle
police chief says 'reckless' and 'political' 50 percent budget cut would lead to major layoffs for black officers.
Seattle police Chief Carmen Best on Friday accused the City Council of recklessness and "political pandering" by advocating to
slash her department's budget by 50 percent, arguing that cutting funds to that extent would be asking citizens "to test out
a theory that crime goes away if police go away." "These 2020 cut scenarios by the Council are political gestures, however, not
realistic or rational solutions. SPD is absolutely committed to transforming the department and has already started the
process. But if we are asked to cut 50 percent of our department overnight, we will be forced into decisions that
do not serve our shared long-term goal of re-envisioning community safety," Best wrote in a letter addressed to Seattle
Mayor Jenny Durkan on Friday [7/10/2020].
Two
Important Questions for White Democrats in 2020. The current rage for cultural Marxism, notably its critical
race theory trope that America is "systemically racist," causes many problems for the Left and, in particular, its
presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden (a.k.a., "Joey Basement") as well as other Democratic office seekers. [...] The
Left's proposed solution for America is a "fundamental transformation." The specifics are hazy, but apparently it requires
the imposition of socialism and/or Communism; the abolition of our actual history; the cancellation of individuals; the
eradication of constitutional rights; and the destruction of prosperity. Talk about a cure being worse than the
disease, especially when the disease does not exist! For white Americans, however, these adherents to the "1619"
thesis would have us believe there is no cure.
Dukes
of Hazzard stars say 'the politically correct generation has gotten way out of hand'. Dukes of Hazzard co-stars
John Schneider and Tom Wopat addressed the long-time controversy over the show's iconic General Lee car, saying political
correctness has gone too far as protests mount over the Confederate flag that the famed vehicle features prominently on its
roof. Both stars defended the customized 1969 Dodge Charger used in the hit action and comedy show about cousins Bo and
Luke Duke, former moonshiners who live in rural Georgia. The car, named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee, has
enjoyed its own popularity as much as the actors, becoming a crowd pleaser at fan and collectors conventions.
House
Democrats Propose Budget Cuts to Park Police as Monuments Are Being Targeted by Mobs. House Democrats on the
Appropriations Committee proposed budget cuts to the U.S. Park Police as monuments and memorials are being targeted by mobs
and protests continue to occur in the streets in the Washington, D.C. area. [...] The Park Police has seen a lot of action as
protests became riots during the recent weeks of unrest the country has experienced in the aftermath of George Floyd's
death. The Department of Interior said at least 60 Park officers were injured during the riots in the nation's capital.
LAPD
Scorns Nationwide Effort to Bring Them Down. The nation seems to have turned on the law enforcement officers of
this country overnight as protests and demonstrations morphed into riots and a demand to end police departments. As
leaders of major American cities, members of Congress and entire city councils have called to either abolish police or gut
their budgets, the men and women in blue have bravely continued to do their best to keep people safe. Protester and
rioters, who have gathered en masse in cities and towns across the nation for more than a month, attack officers, light their
equipment on fire, and even shoot at the police with near impunity as mayors and governors applaud. "Don't be afraid of
democracy," Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan (D) famously said to President Trump at the beginning of a weeks long occupation in
the center of her city. Several people were shot and two teens were killed in that zone after protesters blocked the
police from entering while calling them "pigs" and insisting they be eradicated.
Crenshaw
takes aim at Duckworth's patriotism, accuses her of supporting the 'destruction of America'. Freshman GOP
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (Texas) took aim at Sen. Tammy Duckworth Wednesday, questioning the Illinois Democrat's
patriotism after she suggested that there should be a "national dialogue" about whether to remove statues and monuments of
the founding fathers. Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL, was discussing voter outreach to veterans during a Trump campaign
"MAGA meetup" event on Thursday when he took a swing at Duckworth, a combat veteran who lost both her legs serving in Iraq,
accusing her of supporting the "destruction of America," The Washington Post first reported. "I think a general message
that the left stands for the destruction of America and the right doesn't probably works pretty well with veterans, even
liberal ones, because even liberal veterans probably don't agree with that, unless you're Tammy Duckworth," he said.
The Winds of Woke. Before
Thursday morning [7/9/2020] I had not heard of Thomas Bosco, and I am willing to bet you haven't heard of him either.
He runs a café in Upper Manhattan. [...] Bosco seems like a noble small businessman making his way in a turbulent
world. There's a problem, though. He once expressed an opinion. Though Black Lives Matter signs are posted
throughout the restaurant, and its owner identifies as "a liberal guy who supports almost every liberal cause I can think
of," in early June Bosco told MSNBC that he voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and expects to do so again. [...] "The backlash
was swift, as you might expect," writes Paybarah. Neighbors denounced Bosco on Facebook. Some vowed not to
patronize the café. Randi Weingarten, who as president of the American Federation of Teachers draws close to
half a million dollars in salary and benefits, wrote online that it would be "hard to ever go back." No more tips for
the barista from her. As for the drag queens, they are taking their glitter elsewhere.
Squad

would radically transform the nation's criminal justice system by eliminating life sentences, retroactively expunging drug
crimes, shutting down multiple federal agencies and permanently closing prisons and immigration detention centers, among
other agenda items. The bill also seeks to end gang databases, establish pilot programs for a universal basic income,
and afford voting rights and "lifetime education" to all illegal immigrants and incarcerated criminals.

Radical Ideas in the Biden-Sanders 'Unity' Platform. Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie
Sanders (I-VT) released the policy recommendations of their "unity task force" on Wednesday [7/8/2020]. [...] Here are nine
of the most radical proposals in the "unity" document: [...] [#3] "End cash bail." The platform calls for eliminating cash
bail across the country — a radical experiment in criminal justice reform that has only just begun in California
and New York, with results that are deeply concerning. The idea is to reduce inequities, but in practice the end of
cash bail means releasing violent criminals to commit more crimes. One suspect in antisemitic attacks in New York City
late last year, for example, was repeatedly re-arrested after her releases.
Americans
Defund Democrats in Statehouse Elections as Democrats Seek to Defund Police. Americans significantly decreased
contributions to Democrats running for state legislature seats in the second quarter as the Democrat Party has turned hard
left, fundraising information announced this week shows. The lackluster performance by Democrats at the state level
could have broader national implications. First off, state-level political trends sometimes forecast later looming
national trends — "from the State House to the White House," the saying goes.
Biden
Says Police Have "Become the Enemy" and Calls For Defunding the Police. Joe Biden on Wednesday [7/8/2020] fully embraced
the defund the police movement. 77-year-old Biden stumbled his way through an interview with health care activist Ady
Barkan. Ady Barkan was diagnosed with terminal amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2016 and speaks through a
computer voice. Biden went all in and caved to radical leftists like Ilhan Omar and AOC and said he "absolutely"
supports taking away funding from police departments across the country.
New
Yorkers 'no longer trust the police,' state attorney general says. Two weeks of protests and unrest in New York

Department, the state's attorney general, Letitia James, concluded in a preliminary report. [...] James also said at a press
conference that after three days of public hearings, in which she heard from protesters and Police Commissioner Dermot Shea,
the commissioner's testimony on the events was "at odds with the vast majority of the protesters who came before us."
Joe
Biden, the Anti-American Candidate. Sadly, the truth and reality of America are being broadly distorted by
media and others on the left, and it's having impact. According to a new Gallup poll, 63% of Americans say they are
very proud or extremely proud to be American. This is the lowest reading ever recorded since Gallup has measured
it. The first time it was done, in 2001, 87% said they were very or extremely proud. Among Republicans, 67% say
they are very or extremely proud. However, among Democrats, it's only 24%. Forty-nine percent of white Americans
say they are very or extremely proud compared with 24% of nonwhite Americans. The drop among nonwhites in recent years
has been particularly sharp. Just four years ago, 45% of nonwhites said they were very or extremely proud.
The
Gangsterization of the Democrat Party. Let's start with a series of rhetorical questions related to the
upcoming presidential elections: • Does a broken storefront add votes to the Democrats?
• Does a burning car add votes to the Democrats? • Does a killed or wounded policeman
add votes to the Democrats? • Does a toppled statue add votes to the Democrats? •
Does an "autonomous zone" add votes to the Democrats? • Does a demolished synagogue or a
destroyed church add votes to the Democrats? Simple human logic suggests that the answers to all these questions are
negative. Why do Democrats do all of this? Currently, the majority opinion is solidly against the rioters.
Why did Democrats move from ideological gangsterism to a real one? After all, this is silly, just silly.
Democrats have brought America into a post-Orwellian world, in which they demanded the presence of the police at a protest
rally dedicated to defunding of police. So many police officers, abandoned by their Democrat mayors, decided to go
Galt. Are Democrats complete blockheads or political duffers?
Tucker
Carlson: We Cannot Let Democrats Run This Country Because They Hate It. Monday, Fox News Channel's Tucker
Carlson opened his show by giving President Donald Trump's speech at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota high marks. He then
pointed to the Democrat backlash and concluded that Democrats and their allies in the media hate the country. He
alluded to remarks made by presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) to
bolster that point. Carlson then posed the question: Could the left in America lead a country that it hates?
Know
Your Enemy: Undeniable Truths About the Left. [Scroll down] More and more people are becoming wise
to all that is going on and that includes the average Democrat voter. They see what their party is doing to this
country and they are taking note. These average working-class Democrats are just like the average working-class
conservatives who only want to have a good job, savings, good schools for their kids, a nice house, and to live in a safe
community. They see their party becoming dangerously radicalized and I do not doubt that they are just as troubled
about the direction of the country as we conservatives are. These men and women may not voice their disgust , but do
not be surprised to read a post mortem to the election that will show many Democrats casting a vote for Trump. And I
believe that will also be true of the Black community.
How
San Francisco's Democrats made Jim Jones, and then made his memory vanish. Do you remember that time the entire
Democratic Party in California behaved like cultists, enraptured by Peoples Temple leader Jim Jones? If you lived
through the bizarre suicides of 918 people in Guyana on Nov. 18, 1978, it's hard not to remember where you were when you
heard the news. It would be like forgetting about the Challenger explosion or Sept. 11. But collective amnesia
over just who aided and abetted Jim Jones is much easier to explain. The same influence used on Jones's behalf during
his life helped after his death to erase the causes and candidates he supported. "Such greatness I have found in Jim
Jones's Peoples Temple," Harvey Milk gushed. Yes, that Harvey Milk. Willie Brown, later speaker of the California
assembly and mayor of San Francisco, compared Jim Jones to Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi. Dianne Feinstein
joined the rest of the San Francisco board of supervisors in honoring Jones "in recognition of his guidance and inspiration"
in furthering "humanitarian programs."
The
Fierce Fight Over America's Ideals and History. Americans do more than tolerate calls to live up to our highest
ideals. We embrace them. Martin Luther King knew that when he spoke at the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. "When the
architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were
signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be
guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. ... So we have come to cash this check."
Honoring that check brings together Americans of all political stripes. Most think, rightly, that King's dream is the
American dream. They do not believe the dream itself is a fraud, an opiate for the masses. They reject this
frontal assault on America's history and basic values. They see it every day on television and, more privately, when
their children come home from school and say what they are being taught.
Cambridge
walk-out: Whole Foods employees boycott over facial mask policy. It began three weeks ago with two Whole
Foods employees being told they cannot wear Black Lives Matter face masks on the job. The two employees in Bedford, New
Hampshire were sent home for a violation of the company's dress code policy. The employees were told to go home several
times, it is reported, for violating store policy by wearing face masks and sneakers imprinted with "Black Lives Matter" and
"I can't breathe." One worker said they wore the apparel for two days before being told about the store policy.
Democrat
Senator: Founding Fathers And American Heroes Are 'Dead Traitors'. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.)
criticized President Trump's 4th of July speech at Mount Rushmore for focusing on the accomplishments of historical
figures. "He spent all of his time talking about dead traitors," Duckworth, a potential Biden vice president pick, told
CNN in an interview. In his speech, President Trump listed numerous historical figures and celebrities who played a
large role in American history. Among those listed were the founding fathers, the presidents of Mount Rushmore,
Fredwrick Douglass, Ulysses S. Grant, Martin Luther King, Harriet Tubman, and Elvis Presley. "Our nation is witnessing
a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children," President
Trump said, as he highlighted the accomplishments of notable Americans.
Could IT
Happen Here? [Scroll down] One reason Hitler wasn't taken seriously during the early 1930s was because
the world media presented Hitler (and Mussolini) as caricatures to be laughed at more than feared. [...] Most law-abiding
Americans shake their heads in disgust at what is happening. Some view anarchist antics as more comical than
threatening. For instance: • Weirdly designed pink [...] hats that look like props from a 1950s
sci-fi movie. • Garage door pull that had been used for months suddenly seen as a KKK noose.
• Bizarrely named autonomous zones that are declared separate countries. • Young
white girls yelling at older black cops that the black cops do not understand racism.
Spoiled
'self-hating white chicks' sing 'Ashamed to be an American,' illustrate what's wrong with BLM. On Saturday
[7/4/2020], a young, gay, anti-Trump white woman posted a TikTok video depicting her and another young white woman singing an
anti-American rendition of Lee Greenwood's classic patriotic song, "God Bless the USA." [...] In short, she's a far-left
zealot, and thus her views are completely detached from reality, as noted in the tweet above by black reporter and
conservative commentator Jon Miller. According to Miller, the two are "self-hating" in the sense that they hate the
country where they grew up and now live seemingly comfortable lives.

Stomp, Dance on U.S. Flag Outside White House on July 4th. Far-left "anti-fascist" and Black Lives Matters
(BLM) activists stomped and danced on the United States flag Saturday as part of a Fourth of July protest in front of the
White House in Washington, D.C. The activists were caught on camera by Breitbart News stomping and dancing the Cha-Cha
Slide on the flag. A number of those in attendance appeared to be affiliated with Refuse Fascism, an Antifa group
founded in 2017 to combat President Donald Trump's administration. Others in the crowd were also seen wearing BLM
t-shirts and identified themselves as supporters of the cause.
Democrats Are Fine With Watching America Burn.
For weeks, cities across the country have been overrun by leftist anarchists seeking to destroy the United States from the
inside out. Leftist mayors have not only stood by to watch but have openly endorsed criminal behavior. After all,
it's "for a good cause." In Seattle, Mayor Jenny Durkan allowed leftist anarchists to take over a number of city blocks
and called it the beginning of a "summer of love." After multiple murders of black teenagers, Durkan still did nothing to
shut the zone down and tied the hands of the police chief. When 19-year-old Horace Lorenzo Anderson was killed, she
didn't bother to call his father with the news. She finally took action when rowdy protestors, led by socialist City
Councilwoman Kshama Sawant, marched to her personal home. In Chicago, Mayor Lori Lightfoot had the nerve to lecture
President Trump on leadership as murders and shootings in the city skyrocket. In Minneapolis, the city council voted to
defund the police while using thousands of dollars of taxpayer money for their own private security. In New York, Mayor
Bill DeBlasio is slashing the NYPD's budget and allowing the mob to vandalize statues of George Washington and other
important historical figures.
We
must decide whether we want to save America. America is in crisis. Her destiny is on the line, and she
will survive only if we still love her. A battle rages in the streets, in academia, in the culture, and in the hearts
and minds of the American people over whether America was and remains a good and great nation. [...] Don't believe for a
second that the anarchists who have hijacked peaceful protests are conflicted on this issue. They want to tear down the
entire system, which they say cannot be fixed.
Going
to National Parks Is Racist, Declares ABC News. In the six weeks since a multiracial group of Minnesota cops
killed George Floyd, America has learned all sorts of things about what caused the crime. It wasn't just those cops'
fault, you see. It wasn't just the responsibility of the city of Minneapolis or even the state of Minnesota. As
it turns out, every white person in the world is responsible for Floyd's death. That's why we now need to tear down any
statue of any historical figure who was Caucasian, even the guy who signed the Emancipation Proclamation. That's why
any white person who voices a black character on a cartoon show needs to step aside now. That's why we need to expunge
that episode of The Golden Girls where they wore mud masks and the dumb one said, "We're not really black." All of those
things are racist. All of those things made those cops kill that guy. And we're just getting started.
Everything that white people enjoy is racist, because they're white people. Even going to national parks is racist now,
because most of the people who go to national parks are white.
National
Parks Are Latest Target of Systemic Racism Claim in America. Elements of the left are claiming now that
America's national parks are built on systemic racism. "The outdoors and public lands suffer from the same systemic
racism that the rest of our society does," Joel Pannell, associate director of the Sierra Club, said in an ABC report, titled
"America's Great White Outdoors." The report called the parks "stubborn bastions of self-segregation." "If we don't
address this, and we don't see how all these things are interrelated, then we're going to risk losing everything," Pannell
said. "You're not going to have public lands to enjoy."
U.
of Texas Law Prof Wants to Rewrite 'Racist,' 'Obsolete' Constitution. University of Texas at Austin
Constitutional Law Professor Richard Albert argued this week that the United States should revise the Constitution to remove
"racist" and "gendered" language. In the op-ed published by The Hill, Albert claimed that the Constitution suggests
that only men can be elected president of the United States. University of Texas at Austin Law Professor Richard Albert
published an op-ed for the Hill this week in which he argued that the United States should revise the Constitution to be
compatible with the progressive values of the modern era.
What a Great Time
to Be President! [Scroll down] For President Trump, the present challenges are transformational.
To overcome them, he will continue to face fierce, unprecedented opposition from the Left who, even prior to Trump's election
have engaged in lawless, seditious activities to undermine his campaign, his legitimacy, and hamstring his
administration. This leftist opposition is not dispositive of his ruin, however. Indeed, as every leftist leader,
organization, and institution sounds more and more like an MSNBC commentator, the American people will do to them what they
have done to that ill-fated network: Continue to tune them out. After all, there is a reason left-leaning
networks have fewer viewers than Fox, and liberal talk radio pales before the audiences of conservative radio:
Americans don't want to hear their country and themselves slandered as immoral and evil. There are simply more
Americans who want to hear that they and their country are good and decent and can accomplish great deeds.
Joe
Biden Owns The Democratic Party's Insanity. In New York City, shootings have skyrocketed over the past few
weeks to levels not seen since what we refer to as "the bad old days." Teenagers are being senselessly killed in our
streets. What is the Democratic Party's answer to this? They are stripping a billion dollars from the $6 billion
budget of the New York Police Department in a display of virtue signaling that will lead to bullet holes in black and brown
bodies. As Democrats across the country plot to defund the police and tear down statues of great Americans, as they
cower to mobs that set up "autonomous zones" where people are raped and murdered, Joe Biden is hiding behind his mask.
Every single time a racist or bigot says they support Donald Trump, the media demands the president denounce them. Why
isn't that same media demanding Biden denounce the Jacobin mobs destroying our cities?
Breakdown. [Scroll
down] [T]he Black Lives Matter movement is tweeting about police defunding, last weekend's gay pride marches, and
NASCAR's Bubba Wallace, the subject of yet another hate-crime hoax. DeRay Mckesson, an early BLM organizer in Ferguson,
is retweeting about whether homophobes are secretly gay. Activist Shaun King, who recently called for vandals to
destroy stained-glass windows portraying the Baby Jesus and Mary, is retweeting that Mount Rushmore is an act of
vandalism. Ja'Mal Green, a Black Lives Matter organizer in Chicago who was arrested in 2016 for assaulting and
attempting to disarm an officer, offered a $5,000 reward on Saturday for information on the killing of the one-year-old boy
in Chicago, but coupled that offer with another call to defund the police. Since then, Green has been tweeting about
abortion rights and the extradition of President Trump to Iran.
Biden
and Dems Are Set to Abolish the Suburbs. President Trump had a great riff at his rally the other day in
Phoenix. It was all about "abolish," about how the Left wants to abolish the police, ICE, bail, even borders.
Trump's riff is effective because it is true. The Left has gone off the deep end, and they're taking the Democrats with
them. Well, there's another "abolish" the president can add to his list, and it just might be enough to tip the scales
this November. Joe Biden and the Democrats want to abolish America's suburbs. Biden and his party have embraced
yet another dream of the radical Left: a federal takeover, transformation, and de facto urbanization of America's
suburbs. What's more, Biden just might be able to pull off this "fundamental transformation."
$1.5B
in NYPD cuts not enough for AOC: 'Defunding police means defunding police'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
said Tuesday [6/30/2020] the proposed $1.5 billion NYPD budget slash didn't go far enough. "Defunding police means
defunding police. It does not mean budget tricks or funny math. It does not mean moving school police officers from
the NYPD budget to the Department of Education's budget so the exact same police remain in schools," the self-described
Democratic Socialist said in a press release about the budget deal between the City Council and Mayor de Blasio. "It
does not mean counting cuts in overtime as cuts, even as NYPD ignores every attempt by City Council to curb overtime spending
and overspends on overtime anyways. The fight to defund policing continues," she said.
Virginia
Democrats Propose Reducing Charge For Assaulting Police Officers. Virginia Senate Democrats are proposing the
reduction of the charge of assault on a police officer from a felony to a simple misdemeanor offense. The proposal, one
of 28 championed by the Virginia Senate Democratic Caucus to reform the state's law enforcement systems, would get rid of the
current law that considers an assault of a police officer a Class 6 felony and imposes a mandatory minimum term of
confinement of six months.
DNC
Official 2020 Position: Celebrating July 4th Equals White Supremacy. Under normal conditions one might
expect to identify this moment as the official moment the rubicon of DNC insanity has been crossed. However, it's 2020,
therefore as soon as you think the boundaries of DNC stupidity have been reached, the DNC will bring out their stupid
boundary stretchers. In a tweet earlier tonight [6/29/2020] the DNC takes the official position that celebrating the
fourth of July is the equivalent of celebrating white supremacy.
Seattle
City Council Member Blames 'Capitalism's Brutality' for CHOP Murders. [Scroll down] I have no idea how
someone like this ever gets elected. I mean, I understand how Democrats get elected even if I have profound
disagreements with them on policy and social issues. But Kshama Sawant has shown herself to be an insane person for
years. She's actually suspected to have let protesters into the City Hall some weeks back before the CHOP was
established on the streets. She should be in jail, not rattling on Twitter about how capitalism is somehow responsible
for lawlessness and murders. Sawant's "movement" is failing like all socialist movements ultimately fail. It's
destroying businesses and it's costing people their lives. The fact that the mayor of Seattle won't step in and stop
this is an incredible breach of duty. If Seattle's residents care anything about their own safety and prosperity, they
have to change course and kick these people out of office. Unfortunately, what seems obvious to outsiders is often lost
on those living in these areas. They are so eaten up with faux guilt and wanting to appear woke that they'll continue
to vote for their own demise. It's sad to watch.
These
are dangerous times. The left wants to force you to be silent. That is why you need to speak up.
The liberty-minded majority has to speak up for freedom or it will be silenced forever. That is not hyperbole.
Facebook and the authoritarian left have become more blatant about silencing the pro-liberty right to the point of directly
influencing the upcoming election. Katie makes the critical point that we need to step in and counter the efforts of
those who would impose authoritarianism. While we don't agree with every point she makes, she does emphasize that we
need to leave the ad hominem attacks to the leftists. We are on the right side of history. The facts are on our
side. [Video clip]
America's
Problem Is Systemic Liberalism. Look through the endless woke tweets of your favorite hack journalist, pinko
pol, or Hollywood half-wit, or even go up to some self-described liberal in your own life, and see if you can find one iota
of deviation from any of the approved liberal dogma. Good luck. You won't find a smidgeon of nonconformity.
You won't detect a molecule of dissent. [...] You can't reason with them — appealing to reason is futile.
Systemic liberalism is the real poison in America's veins, not the fanciful notion pushed by bigots, charlatans, and
demagogues, that the American enterprise is dedicated to invidious discrimination on the basis of race.
Who's
the Real Party of the Rich? [Scroll down] How do we shed light on the party of the ruling class?
Where can we reliably compare and contrast the effects of Democrat and Republican policies on common Americans? Since
Washington, D.C. is a moral swamp where Deep State bureaucrats use all means at their disposal to destroy all adversaries to
the ruling class, more can be learned at the state level. Small businesses are in a sense the "canary in the coal mine"
because they lack the resources and social connections to reasonably navigate burdensome regulations. The owners of
these businesses also tend to have an independent streak that does not sit well with many of the credentialed elites who
regulate them.
'This
is not Seattle': Oklahoma protesters hit with terrorism charges. A district attorney in Oklahoma hit several
protesters with charges of assault, rioting, and terrorism in connection to recent violent protests that took place in
Oklahoma City. Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater said on Friday [6/26/2020] that he chose to pursue the toughest
charges against the rioters because he does not support the lawlessness that has taken place in some parts of the country,
including the "police-free" region of Seattle known as the Capitol Hill Occupied Protests, or CHOP. "This is not
Seattle," he told the Oklahoman. "We're not putting up with this lawlessness here."
Voting
Isn't Enough to Combat the Woke Left. Recently, I read with great interest James Lindsay's essay called "The
Woke Breaking Point." There, he invites his readers to ask friends and acquaintances "What would it take for you to say that
the Woke movement has gone too far?" This, he suggests, is a way to help people keep themselves honest: if you consider in
advance what state of affairs, specifically, would be "too far," then you will be able to recognize better the excesses of
the totalitarian Left and more ready to resist them at the point when it becomes absolutely necessary. Reframing the
question, he writes: "Ask. When is enough, enough?" To his credit, Lindsay recognizes that posing this
question is a tricky rhetorical gambit. "To get real about this, you shouldn't expect this conversation to go well," he
writes. "It might, of course, depending on the relationship, but it's very likely to be received defensively or with an
assumption that you've lost your mind. So here's some advice: don't expect it to go well. Don't expect them to
come around. Don't expect them to take you seriously. Just get the question out there where they have to think
about it."
Minneapolis
Officials Calling to 'Defund Police' Spend $63G on Private Security. Minneapolis City Council members who
called to 'defund the police' amid the Black Lives Matter protests following the death of George Floyd have spent $63,000 on
private security detail following death threats. The private security detail is reportedly costing $4,500 a day in
taxpayer's money. The total spent over the last three weeks now stands at $63,000. "The names of the people getting
security details are not public," a city spokesperson told Fox News.
Seattle
City Council Unanimously Votes to Repeal Drug Traffic and Prostitution Loitering Laws. The Seattle City Council
unanimously voted to repeal the city's drug traffic and prostitution loitering laws on Monday, sending the bill to Mayor
Jenny Durkan for signing. Two years in the making, the bill seeks to eliminate the ordinances helping police crack down
on loitering by suspected drug dealers and prostitutes — ordinances that a lead sponsor of the repeal bill calls
"manifestly unjust," The Seattle Times reports.
Shameless:
Minneapolis city council votes to disband police — but pays $4500 a day for private security.
Protection for we, social workers for thee? The Minneapolis city council seems determined to prove the hypocrisy of
"defund the police," all the way to the point of satire. Yesterday, the council voted unanimously to pursue a
still-ambiguous plan to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department and replace it with a more politically correct
"Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention." Would that include police, though — and if so,
what's the point?
Is
It Time For Americans To Start Talking About The Devil? [Scroll down] Don't get me wrong. I'm not
saying that all these anti-white radicals have consciously entered a pact with the Devil. Yes, there are those
Alinskyites who have deliberately sold their souls to Satan, but most radicals are unwittingly under his spell. Think
about it: Do you ever wonder why it is so impossible to communicate facts and logic to an Open Borders zealot?
Try as we might we can never break the hypnotic hold that anti-Historical American Nation malice has on these people.
Do they not seem like they are operating under a kind of otherworldly spell? Saint Paul warns us that Satan's minions
often appear as "ministers of righteousness" exercising the art of soul murder by employing the language of goodwill.
In due course, today's ministers of righteousness are working overtime to ruin the lives of ordinary white people like Amy
Cooper, Nick Sandmann, or Paula Deen. They experience a moral thrill whenever they cancel, dox, and deplatform people
whose only crime is being white.
Leftist
Minstrel Show: Self-abasing protestors mostly white, and blacks are starting to laugh. Anti-racism
protests, which form the backdrop of the violence, desecration and looting going on around the U.S., are starting to look
just a little bit strange to some black people. Made up almost solely of whites, they feature kneeling, self-abasement,
calls for absolution, and vows of reparation. There have been celebrities declaring they 'take responsibility,'
Congress members bowing in Kente cloth stoles, ritual kneelings in the street, uplifted fists of ecstasy, and in one
particularly ridiculous instance, thick, pasty white protestors dancing around a fallen Columbus statue as Indian drums beat,
oblivous to the logic of their declaration, in that they best go back to Europe to atone. They've actually become
religious rituals for white people with no religion and in need of one, what with global warming not coming through on its
promises of Armaggedon.
The
Left's Idea of Bringing Us Together. Earlier this month, former Defense Secretary James Mattis whined:
"Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people. Instead, he tries to
divide us." Apparently, Mattis wasn't alive when Barack Obama was president. His quest for unity started as a
candidate, when he described Middle Americans as bitterly clinging to religion, guns and anti-immigrant
sentiments — in other words, as fanatics, gun nuts and xenophobes. In 2016, Hillary Clinton was the left's
unity candidate — heaping calumny on the heads of "deplorables" (bitter-clingers 2.0). Now comes Joe Biden,
who said at an April fundraiser that Trump voters, "really support the notion that, you know, all Mexicans are rapists and
all Muslims are bad." So, if you're tired of illegals streaming across the border, Dems say you believe Mexicans are all
rapists and if you're critical of the way Muslim countries treat Christians, to Dems, it's the same as saying, "all Muslims
are bad." Naturally, no one in the establishment media denounced this slander.
RNC
ad puts a spotlight on Dem tactics that bolster 'Marxist' attack on America. The Republican National Committee
released a new ad this Tuesday designed to highlight how "left-wing anarchists are using chaos to destroy America" as
Democrats watch sometimes with tacit approval and other times with beaming support. [...] [T]he video links the ongoing
madness being perpetrated across the country by Black Lives Matter extremists — think police cruisers being burnt,
police officers being run down, statues being toppled, etc. — with the incendiary rhetoric of Democrat political
figures ranging from Nancy Pelosi to Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.
Victor
Davis Hanson: 2020 Election Is Now an 'Existential Question,' 'Civilization' vs. Its Destruction. The
protests and rioting that began with the killing of George Floyd in late May have morphed into something much more insidious
in late June, to the point where issues that previously dominated the election landscape no longer matter so much, some
conservatives are saying. As anarchists and "protesters" tear down statues, declare autonomous zones, and deface public
property in Democrat-run cities, it's "not about the icon on the statue, it's about humiliation and power," Victor Davis
Hanson, an author and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, told Fox News's Tucker Carlson Monday night [6/22/2020].
The Editor says...
What will happen when Trump is re-elected? The riots will continue. What will happen if the Democrat (whoever
replaces Biden) is elected instead? The riots will continue unimpeded.
New
Jersey ranked least patriotic state in America. Thinking about holding your Fourth of July blowout in New
Jersey? Better think again. The Garden State is the least patriotic state in the US, according to a new ranking
released Monday [6/22/2020] by financial advice Web site WalletHub.com. Measuring 13 metrics on military and civic
engagement — including veteran residents per capita, percentage of adults who voted in the 2016 presidential
election and rates of volunteerism — the study ranked Jersey dead last among the 50 states. But flag-waving
New Yorkers shouldn't get too smug, as the Empire State finished next-to-last in the ranking.
How
a Conservative Commentator Turned the Left's Cancel Culture Campaign Against Itself. The left-wing mob is
recharged and totally insane. They're back on this cancel culture nonsense. They're tearing down statues of
historical figures they view as problematic. There is no reasoning with them. They're the intellectual al-Qaeda
of our time. You don't negotiate with terrorists. As Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, and Roosevelt are being
targeted, two things are clear. This has never been about Confederate statues, folks. This has been centered on
the Left's hatred of America and its history and the bizarre fetish to rewrite it through a woke paradigm where no nuance is
afforded to anyone. The far-left loony code of ethics, for lack of a better term, is retroactively applied here.
It's utterly insane.
"When the new battleground for civil rights is ice cream, it may be time to lay down arms."
The
Activist Never Sleeps. In the wake of last week's Supreme Court ruling on gay rights in the workplace, Andrew
Sullivan asked what sounded like a reasonable question — when can proponents of a cause claim victory? This,
of course, is a rhetorical question, as Sullivan himself later admits. The answer is "never," and it is as applicable
to our current turmoil as to the Court decision. Victory means the game is over. That is not how activism
works. Activism is an industry whose only goal is self-perpetuation. Activism provides livelihoods, social, and
political power, and a sense of relevance.
Ben
& Jerry's honors Juneteenth: 'Defund the police, defend Black communities!' Ben & Jerry's isn't leaving the
company's stance up for interpretation. The beloved ice cream maker took to Instagram Friday to speak out about the
importance of Juneteenth, which emancipated black Americans who remained enslaved two years after the Emancipation
Proclamation. "Defund the police, defend Black communities!" Ben & Jerry's captioned a brightly colored image of a
black individual scooping ice cream. "This #Juneteenth, it's more important than ever that we dismantle the racist and
ineffective model of American policing. Learn more about how defunding the police works and why we desperately need it."

Democrats
Have Failed the Black Community for Too Long. In recent weeks, Americans have watched radical leftist
anarchists and Antifa thugs engage in extreme violence and murder that will haunt many people for the rest of their
lives. Fifteen innocent civilians and two police officers were shot and killed, hundreds of civilians were savagely and
brutally beaten, and more than 700 police officers were injured nationwide. Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of
property was destroyed as businesses and communities in more than 42 states were devastated by arson, looting, and mayhem
that activists quickly followed with a call to defund the police. With each passing day, both of us asked ourselves the
same question: where are the governors and mayors of these cities who took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution of
the United States and keep residents safe from harm? Instead of upholding law and order — also known as
doing their jobs — they turned a blind eye to the violence while praising the demonstrations that the radicals
were using as cover.
This
Leftist Tantrum Is an Information Operation and Trump Is Winning It. [Scroll down] This still an
information operation, not a kinetic one. They want to convince us we are powerless, that everyone else supports their
commie agenda, that we cannot win. Their tactics are designed to create that impression and crush our morale.
These include the 24/7 media hype, the outright media lies, the movie stars with their dumb PSAs, the staged statue attacks,
the corporate solidarity proclamations, the social media cancellations, and the craven kneeling by people who are supposed to
stand up for us. But another tactic, familiar to any student of insurgencies, is to provoke an overreaction by those in
power in order to undermine its moral authority. They want is to make us (including the president) think this is a
kinetic operation, and get our side to make fundamental strategic errors by failing to recognize the true nature of the
threat. They hope that such a mismatch between perception and reality will then lead to gravely damaging blunders.

and taught ... is to undermine the public's sense of national or civilizational identity. With nothing left to kill or
die for, the world will presumably 'live as one.'" David Randall at RealClearEducation remarks on the report's stark
conclusions that abandoning the study of Western civilization "was the erasure of a body of knowledge that constituted the
American identity. To remove Western Civ was a body-blow against America's civilizational memory — brain
damage deliberately inflicted[.] ... This brain damage makes it possible for Americans to be molded by woke tyranny's
euphemisms of social justice, multiculturalism, and global citizenship."
How
Sweet to Be a Democrat. They seem to think it's game to engage in despicable acts and dare anyone to hold them
accountable. No matter how bold and in your face the act, no matter how crazy the statement or preposterous the
proposal (think Green New Deal), they know they will not be seriously questioned or held to account, let alone disciplined.
[...] They can do and say whatever they please, safe in the knowledge that they have the media in their pockets and that most
younger people haven't been taught anything that's true or that matters and therefore have no way to sort truth from
fiction. They know that many — if not most — folks rely solely on emotion, not reason and
evidence, to determine what is real and what is fake. They utilize this knowledge and those people in their incessant
quest for power at all costs.
Poll:
Less than a quarter of Democrats are 'extremely proud' to be American. Barely one in four Democrats say they
are "extremely proud" to be an American, according to a new poll. A new Gallup survey of 1,034 adults living in the
United States found that 42 percent said they were "extremely proud" to be an American, while 21 percent said
they were "moderately proud." Among Democrats, only 24 percent rated themselves "extremely proud."
Harvard
Professor: "Defunding The Police Is Not A Solution And Could Cost Thousands Of Black Lives". A Harvard
university Professor has urged that defunding the police would cause more loss of life, citing figures showing that there are
"450 excess homicides per year" when police are not able to do their jobs proficiently. "Defunding the police is not a
solution and could cost thousands of black lives," professor Roland Fryer wrote in an email to the College Fix. Fryer
has recently authored a research paper titled "Policing the Police: The Impact of "Pattern-or-Practice Investigations
on Crime," noting that police are less present when 'viral incidents' occur, meaning crime, including homicides increase... a
lot. "Our estimates suggest that investigating police departments after viral incidents of police violence is
responsible for approximately 450 excess homicides per year" the paper reads.
Denver
Board of Education votes unanimously to remove police from schools. It sounds like there was plenty of tension
at the Thursday night [6/11/2020] meeting of the Denver Public Schools Board of Education. A vote was held on a
proposal to remove all SROs (school resource officers from the Denver Police Department) from all public schools in the
district. After four hours of heated debate and public comment, the board voted unanimously to remove them. The
number of SROs on campuses is to be reduced by 25% immediately with all remaining officers to be given the boot by June of
next year. Going by the local CBS coverage of the meeting, the reasons given for the decision sounded as if they had
absolutely nothing to do with anything that's been going on in the local schools and it was more about national politics than
anything else.
The Kountry is Korona
Krazy. [Scroll down] In Seattle, people calling themselves anti-fascists stormed a police station and
took over a neighborhood. They're extorting money from small local businesses in exchange for "protecting" them.
They expel the people they don't like from their little utopia. Now they're threatening to form their own nation in
downtown Seattle comprised of only people they like. They call it Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ (how hip is
that?). This bit of socialist paradise is ruled by a homophobic criminal warlord who prances around with an AK-47.
The Seattle police chief wants to expel these criminals and return the neighborhood to the residents. For that, Seattle
libs want to cancel her. In their eyes, the fact that she is a black and a woman is not enough; if she opposes people
who trespass, loot, riot and steal in the name of a protest, then she's a racist. The Seattle mayor is more woke than
the police chief. Unlike the police chief, the mayor supports the rioters. Because the rioters hate America and
she does too.
Mayor
Walsh declares racism a public health crisis. Mayor Martin Walsh is declaring racism a public health crisis and
is aiming to transfer $12 million from the police overtime budget to help put his order in motion immediately. Walsh
said Friday [6/12/2020] there is a "new urgency" to erase racism in the city and added Boston's budget for the coming year
will reallocate roughly 20% of the police OT allotment to programs for youth and other needs. That will start with $3 million
for the Boston Public Health Commission. A new task force, chaired by former U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Wayne Budd, will
also review police force policies and equity issues in the department.
Entire Florida city's
SWAT team resigns after police chief kneels with protesters. Officers of the Hallandale Beach Police Department
were so angered by their chief kneeling to show solidarity with protesters that every member of the SWAT team resigned from
those duties. The officers did not resign completely from the police force, and will stay on duty. Those who
resigned specifically cited City of Hallandale Beach Police Chief Sonia Quinones kneeling with protesters against racism,
hatred, and intolerance as the reason for their startling act.
The Editor says...
I would say kneeling with protesters was a startling act.
Pelosi
presenting special US flag to Floyd family sparks outrage; 'an insult to our service members'. Scores of
Americans were outraged after seeing a picture of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) presenting an American flag to the
family of George Floyd as though he had been killed fighting for the country. The photo, which was seen posted on
various social media sites, was confirmed as genuine by BizPac Review after locating it as part of a collection involving the
family of Floyd on Pelosi's official Twitter feed. [...] Scores of people reacted negatively to the photo after seeing it
reposted by another Twitter user.
Leftists
Claim They Want Revolution, But They Underestimate The Conservative Majority. Revolution is usually used to
topple the ruling elite. In this case, the target is the concept of constitutional freedom that is held dear by a broad
well-armed sector of society. What the liberals seek is a complete government executed civil war against
conservative-minded citizens. They will use the rule of law in an attempt to beat us down. They will use the
much-disdained law enforcement to enact their proposals. And finally, when that doesn't work, they will utilize the
military. Make no mistake; they want us compliant. They don't want us gone because we are the producers.
They underestimate the silent majority — we who are cleaning our weaponry, as we watch feral morons destroy things
on TV. The reason for our silence isn't that we're meek conservatives. They haven't heard from us, because they
haven't poked us, yet. They will regret it when they do.
Parks
Dept. employees spotted cleaning Coney Island bathroom with US flag. A day before Flag Day, two city employees
were spotted using the Stars and Stripes to mop the floor of a filthy Coney Island restroom, a witness told The [New York]
Post. Jose Gonzalez, a Guardian Angel who was on patrol on the boardwalk Saturday afternoon, said he saw two employees
from the Parks Department wiping down a men's bathroom with a flag mop. [...] Gonzalez snapped a photo of the mophead.
"This is an absolute disgrace especially one day before Flag Day, an honored day that no one is discussing in New York City,"
said disgusted Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa. "Clearly, we are not educating our citizens. At a time when
we are all divided, it's the flag that brings us together." The city Parks Department did not immediately return Post
calls for comment.
How
President Trump Just Won Re-Election. In the wake of the Floyd protests, the president has defended law and
order. He has defended business owners and police at a time when Democrats are claiming that reliance on the police is
a form of "white privilege." So when a violent criminal is breaking into my house and I call 911, that's "white privilege,"
and I should just let myself be robbed and murdered? This is the crucial moment of the Trump presidency, but not in the
way the media have framed it. By standing his ground and resisting calls for change, the president will win another
term. Conservatives are watching Trump's response with intense interest because in defending law and order, he is
defending us as well. Conservatives know that they have nothing to apologize for. It is the rioters, looters, and
killers in the streets, including many young white radicals, who should be apologizing — and they should apologize
from inside a prison cell.
Trump vs.
Biden and our yearning for 'normalcy'. Anyone who imagines "defund the police" doesn't actually mean defund the
police should watch the viral video featuring Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey confronted on the issue by protest leaders.
Frey had been at all the protests, had sobbed at Floyd's coffin, held every correct progressive opinion — until
activists asked him if he would agree to defund police. "We don't want no police," an activist leader clarified for
Frey. When Frey couldn't agree, he was booted from the protests, as protesters hurled invective at him. The
trouble: Police forces remain broadly popular. Over 50 percent of Americans consistently say they have "a great
deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in police, with another 30 percent saying they have "some" confidence. It isn't
just white people, either. Polls have found that as many as two-thirds of African Americans have confidence in the
police; a HuffPost/YouGov poll last week found that 49 percent of black people oppose defunding the police.
Anarchy, Seattle, and All That
CHAZ. Three cities, all supremely liberal, represent an American descent into anarchy against which no one is
standing. After New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said he wanted to slash the police budget, the New York City Council is
going about cutting $1 billion from that budget, about 16%. That will inevitably cause a reduction of police presence around
the city and, with equal inevitability, result in an increase in crime. President Trump has said that if Washington
Gov. Jay Inslee and Mayor Durkan didn't restore order in Seattle, he would. But he has done precisely
nothing. In Minneapolis, where George Floyd was killed in police custody on May 25, the city council plans to disband
its police force entirely. On Friday, the city council voted to replace the police with a "community-led public safety
system." What [...] is a "community-led public safety system"? And then there's Seattle.
Gathering
Is Essential — Unless You're Republican. Destroying a business is tolerated, reopening one
forbidden. Democrats are bailing out rioters, and sending salon owners to prison. Going to church is worse than
trying to burn it down. Protesting is a threat to public health, until experts declare your cause worthy enough.
These are the new, ever-changing rules of Democrats' America. We'll forgive you if you have a hard time keeping
up — but they won't. After months shaming Americans who had the audacity to want to reopen their businesses
safely as COVID-19 cases waned, social distancing is suddenly less important than "social justice," according to the media's
health "experts."
Stereotyping
for Thee, But Not for Me: The Lawless States of America. What athletes, actors, educators, most press
and celebrities mouthing off about this don't get is that the rest of us don't want to pay to attend a sporting event, or
spend time watching an awards show whose participants hijack it to make a political statement or gesture. Find another
platform and do it on your own time. Kneel all you want, but not when the audience is captive. The orchestrated
show of Democrat-elected representatives, culturally misappropriating African tribal garb and kneeling, looked like a
Saturday Night Live skit. Between the pandemic shutdowns and the mass looting and arson, the rest of us, for the past
three months have had many legal rights ripped from our arms, mostly in Democrat-run cities and states. The protests
have erupted in foreign cities; friendly and enemy states tsk-tsk or mock us. And, it was all too easy. Are we
not better than this?
Black
Americans Overwhelmingly Oppose Defunding the Police. A new poll has found that black Americans overwhelmingly
oppose rioters' demands of defunding the police. The YouGov/HuffPost poll found that most Americans do want police
reform, such as banning chokeholds, but defunding the police was the least popular policy they asked about.
"Self-described liberals support defunding the police by a 13-point margin," HuffPost reported. "But nearly every other
ideological and demographic group opposes it. Democrats and Democratic leaners oppose it by a 4-percentage point
margin, and Black Americans oppose it by a 20-point margin."
Why
Americans Must Stand Up to the Left's Power Grab. Parts of the movement started by widespread revulsion at the
murder of George Floyd have metastasized into a power grab by hard leftists. Their aim goes beyond dismantling the
police — likely to have an early sell-by date — but targets the suppression of such tenets of
liberalism as speech and property rights. Conservatives who want to conserve the republic as it is need to gird up for
this battle. For a brief, ephemeral moment, the country came together in condemnation of Floyd's death in police
custody in Minneapolis. But a crisis is a terrible thing to waste, so those who want to change America root and branch,
because they see it as an experiment not worth preserving, sensed an opportunity for their agenda.
Silence
is Violence: The Quest for Totalitarian Democracy. When a movement says, "silence is violence," it is no
longer democratic, but a totalitarian movement that opposes the very essence of choice — the right to be
apolitical. Mass movements with ostensible democratic goals start out toward benign change, but their successes only
feed a hunger for greater political transformation. Left to the streets, that hunger is attracted to the extremes as
the extremists are attracted to it. When the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, who has passionately sided with the
opponents of police brutality, is heckled out of a demonstration because he refuses to commit to the mob's demand to defund
the police, that is shoving someone into the theater of the absurd.
Amazing!
Trump Just Got Democrats to Defend a Criminal, Anarchist Mob. Whether he meant to do it or not, Trump has
gotten two prominent Democrats, a governor of a state and a mayor of a large city, to defend what can only be described as
the unlawful actions of a violent, anarchist mob. They hate Trump so much and are so fervent in their desire to oppose
his every utterance they have gladly defended the indefensible. All Trump had to do was make a common-sense
condemnation of anarchy, theft, violence, and hooliganism in Seattle and Democrats reflexively attack him and defend the
criminals. So now the political lines are drawn. Trump opposes and condemns the mob that has commandeered several
blocks of a major American city as their own. Prominent Democrats have defended the action and even praised it as patriotic.
Just
In: Minneapolis City Council Unanimously Votes to Replace Police with 'Community-Led Public Safety
System'. The Minneapolis City Council on Friday unanimously voted a resolution to replace the police with a
'community-led public safety system.' Get out while you can! The radical left is pushing to "defund the police"
following the death of George Floyd. By "defund the police," the left means replacing the police with Sharia patrol,
Black Panthers, La Raza and other anti-Christian, anti-white social justice enforcers.
Amazon
may stop streaming 'Dukes of Hazzard' over Confederate flag, report says. Amazon is reportedly considering
removing the immensely popular 1970s series "The Dukes of Hazzard" from its streaming library as it reviews its content
offerings in the wake of racial tensions and protests happening throughout the US. The TV series ran on CBS for seven
seasons from 1979 until 1985. It follows the adventures of Bo and Luke Duke, who create mischief in their fictional small
town of Hazzard County, Ga. The show has been criticized over the years, specifically for the boys' well-known car, The
General Lee, which is emblazoned with a confederate flag on the roof. As a result, Bloomberg reports that the popular
streaming service is thinking about removing it so as not to court any controversy with the ongoing movement happening
throughout the US. Amazon currently offers "The Dukes of Hazzard" both for free on its ad-supported streaming service, IMDB
TV, as well as for sale on the Amazon store.
Seattle
'Autonomous Zone' Demands U.S. Citizenship for 11 to 22M Illegal Aliens. Seattle, Washington's, Capitol Hill
Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) is demanding that all 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States be granted American
citizenship using Seattle Police Department funding. CHAZ, formed by anarchists, Antifa members, and Black Lives Matter
activists, has released a list of demands that would shift Seattle Police Department funding away from policing resources and
towards providing naturalization ceremonies to all illegal aliens.
The Editor says...
The CHAZ people have declared themselves a separate country. What do they care about U.S. citizenship?
Has
America ever had a more crazed mayor than Seattle's Jenny Durkan? It's no longer big news that Black Lives
Matter, Antifa, anarchists, sex offenders, and criminal opportunists seized a six-block area in Seattle's chi-chi Capitol
Hill district. The same people who protested against Trump's walls built walls around their Utopian paradise, the
gun-haters armed themselves, and the ones decrying identification at elections demand identification for anyone seeking to
enter the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (or CHAZ). Most mayors would be horrified, but not Jenny Durkan. She likes
it. According to Wikipedia, the Capitol Hill district is a densely populated area known for its counterculture and LGBT
communities. It's in sync with the 87% of Seattle's population that supported Hillary in 2016. It's in this
neighborhood that BLM has brought forth a new nation, conceived in hysteria and violence, and dedicated to the proposition
that all black people are created better than everyone else (because only their lives matter).
Poll:
55% of Democrats Support 'Defund the Police'; 64% of Americans Oppose. A new poll released Friday [6/12/2020]
showed that 55% of Democrats approve of calls by the Black Lives Matter movement to "defund the police" — though
64% of the country as a whole opposes the idea.
Worse
than the limousine liberal: 'Prius woke-sters' cheer chaos at personal risk. In 1969, New York mayoral
candidate Mario Procaccino went after his rival, the movie-star-good-looking incumbent John Lindsay, by deriding him and his
supporters as "limousine liberals" — people who, in the words of a Procaccino campaign memo, "preach the politics
of confrontation and condone violent upheaval in society because they are not touched by it and are protected by their
courtiers, doormen and private police guards." Procaccino's sound bite immortalized one of the more enraging figures in
modern US society — the preachy, self-righteous, anti-capitalist but conveniently rich and socially prominent
person who decries American injustice and gives lip service to the need for radical change without ever having to fear the
consequences of the often-violent forces he supports. Half a century later, in the midst of America's latest urban
upheaval, we find a new American type — more interesting, perhaps, than the limousine liberal because she doesn't
really have doormen or private cops to protect her from the threat to civil order she welcomes. We might call her the
"Prius wokester."
Chris
Wallace says Biden, mainstream Dems running from defund police movement 'as fast as they can'. "Fox News
Sunday" host Chris Wallace asserted Friday that calls from activists to "defund the police" are a "bridge too far" for most
Americans. "Joe Biden and mainstream Democrats are doing everything they can to run away as fast as they can from
'defund the police,'" Wallace told the "Fox News Rundown" podcast. "Most people, myself included, [don't] fully
understand what that even means. "But I think most people, when they dial 911, when they're in an emergency, want the
police to answer and to help," he added. Wallace did acknowledge the need for policing reform and suggested the
creation of a "national registry of bad actors," along with new limitations on so-called "qualified immunity," which protects
officers from civil lawsuits for actions taken while on duty.
Protesters pulled down a statue, which landed on a bystander, and what happened next?
Rioters
in Virginia would have their cops and abolish them, too. With a person lying there bleeding with a split skull
showing, did the anti-cop protesters call a hippie? No, they called a cop. Who showed the value of cops in this
age of "abolish the cops"? The cop who came was engaged in a pretty selfless act, given what the protesters say they would
do to him. He's the opposite of the bad cop in Minneapolis who triggered this round of unrest. And he was showing
them that even as they kept up their "defund the police" yellings. Apparently, it took a cop to clear the protesting
scrum because the protesters were all so busy gathering around the bleeding, maybe dying man, taking selfies with their cell
phone cameras. So much for empathy or solidarity. This is the behavior of insects. It reveals the essential
childishness of this anti-cop movement. Yell as they do to abolish the police, when they need a cop, they call one, and
they expect one to come in to serve them.
The
Media Suppresses Anyone Who Thinks Like You. Understand this. Tens of millions of Americans love and
respect the flag. Tens of millions of Americans despise the rioters. Tens of millions of Americans support our
police. Tens of millions of Americans support President Trump. You are not alone, no matter how much they lie by
omission and otherwise to convince you that you are.
Multiple
Studies Don't Back Up Any of the Black Lives Matter Talking Points. Right now, we're on a defund the police
kick, which has the end goal of abolishing all law enforcement from our society. It's insane. It's not popular.
And it will be a campaign issue — the ascendant left-wingers are slowly eating away the Old Guard in both the
Democratic Party leadership structures, the base, and the various cultural institutions that have long been dominated by
liberals. On the latter, you saw how The New York Times crumbled to the will of these unhinged woke operatives. The
publication ran an op-ed by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), who argued that the military should be deployed to restore law and order
in the wake of the unrest unleashed by the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police on May 25.
Progressive reporters revolted, said the op-ed put black lives in danger (total nonsense), and forced the editorial page
editor to resign. The 'words are violence' crowd is slowly taking over. And they're totally insane.
Systemic Racism
and Bigotry Are the Lifeblood of the Left. [Scroll down] The only racism in America that is
systemic — deeply ingrained into the system — is on the left. It is so disgusting that it is hard
even to speak about it. It is shameful, and it exists for one reason only: for White leftists to grab votes, [...]
How low will they grovel to get power? They will kneel on the floor. They actually will kneel on the floor,
groveling for power. Of course, as Nancy Pelosi just found, she kneeled so long that she could not even get back
up. You think she was kneeling to Jesus? Nancy Pelosi is America's leading Catholic proponent of
abortion — though Joe Biden, Andrew Cuomo, and a boatload of other Democrat Catholics would take great offense at
Nancy Pelosi getting all the credit for funding the killing of fetuses, especially in the Black community. That Pelosi
is kneeling to Jesus? And who, pray tell, was Schumer kneeling to? He claims to be Jewish, so he is
not kneeling to Jesus. But wait! It is a core tenet of Judaism that kneeling is forbidden except on Yom Kippur
during the recitation of the Kohen service that occurred at the Holy Temple in Jerusalem during Talmudic times.
Otherwise, it is so fundamentally against Judaism to kneel that every Jewish child learns the story associated with Talmud
Tractate Gittin 57b of "The Woman and Her Seven Sons."
'We
Need to Have a Conversation'. Recently, the ability to "have a conversation," let alone actually solve a
problem, has shriveled like a piece of rotting fruit. [...] Some common ground needs to exist. We need to operate on a
mutual moral foundation. Do we agree that murder is wrong? Or is it only wrong when it's a white person killing a
black person? Is it okay when the black victim has yet to be born? Is it wrong to steal? What with cities
refusing to prosecute thieves, private property may no longer be a community value. With massive stealing during these
riots, and no repercussions, it appears that some new nuances in our understanding of theft have happened without our
notification. When a Seattle city councilwoman can say, "I don't know why people are upset about looting," then what is
there to talk about? America was built on the common urge to create a free society, one in which the needs of the
individual and the needs of a smooth-running community were in balance. People shared a reverence for dignity and
decency and productivity. But what happens when a large and loud faction of the society sees no value at all in these
things? When people parade down the streets of a city in various states of undress, performing various deviant sex acts
as they go? When people are willing to just sit around and let others support them? When demanding respect
instead of earning it becomes the norm? There's just nothing to say.
Crystal
clear differences between the left and the right. The crisis of the coronavirus-induced economic lockdown and
now the violent protests in the streets have unleashed a depression-level financial crisis and unprecedented human
suffering — especially in our inner cities. These events have also exposed a Grand Canyon-sized chasm that
now separates how the left and the right see America today. [...] [Example #11] The right wants to make America look like
Florida and Texas. The left wants the rest of the nation to look like New York and Illinois — which are
crumbling from rioting, lockdowns, high taxes and an accelerating stampede of businesses leaving the state.
Defund
the Police? Do you lefties really understand what that means? The point of the Metropolitan Police and
our current municipal police departments is to remove the need — and the temptation — for male city
dwellers to keep the peace themselves. You will have noticed, wokies, that already, in the wake of the recent "mostly
peaceful protests" that there are reports of "vigilantes" with bats patrolling the streets in the nation's cities that are
upsetting the woke female mayor of Chicago. Another thing you might think of, wokies, is that if the police aren't
cracking heads in a shocking display of police brutality then the various gangs of helpless-victim minorities will be
delighted to take up the slack.
We
Didn't Hire Donald Trump To Be A Uniter. For over a century, the left has been busily destroying American
institutions as diverse as Professional Football, Education, Boy and Girl Scouting, the Judeo-Christian Ethic, and the Rule
of Law, to name but a few. We sent Donald J. Trump to stop as much of that as he could. We didn't send him there
as Newt Gingrich put it, to "manage the decline" of our nation. We sent him there to drain the damned swamp, not to
form alliances with the alligators now ruling there. We don't want unity with the evil that is tearing America
apart. We Americans have absolutely no desire to unify with people whose mindset declares that it's OK to loot and burn
innocent people's property; to allow biological males to participate in female athletic contests and share their locker
rooms; to forbid worship under threat of fines and/or imprisonment; to use the full force of government to overturn the
results of a Presidential Election. No! We do not want to unify with those people. We want to soundly
defeat them at the polls and roll back their immoral policies.
Minneapolis
City Council Prez: We Don't Have All The Answers On Who'll Be Responding To Crime Once We Disband The
Police. Does she have some of the answers? I mean, it'd be good to have a few answers lined up
before outright dissolving law enforcement. This is the second time in less than 12 hours that a CNN anchor has asked
her an eminently predictable question about how she plans to keep civilized society from breaking down in a city of 400,000
people only to have her punt. At least she admitted here that she doesn't know; this morning her response was to mumble
some dorm-room cant about how dialing 911 is a form of privilege.
Democrats'
Calls to Defund the Police Are a Losing Bet at the Polls. Democratic lawmakers, operatives, and commentators
are calling for the defunding or abolition of America's police departments in the wake of officer Derek Chauvin's killing of
unarmed black man George Floyd. While the proposal is popular among the party's progressive activist wing and on
Twitter, it faces a hard wall of resistance among the wider public. A recent YouGov poll showed that fewer than
20 percent of Americans of all parties supported any cutting of police funding — a finding consistent with
decades of polling.
Minneapolis
City Council president: 'The goal' is a 'police-free future'. The Minneapolis City Council president said the
city is aiming to have a "police-free future" as it shifts to dismantle its police department following the death of George
Floyd. Council President Lisa Bender noted on Monday [6/8/2020] that the change will take time but said that the city
is aspiring to change the department completely with the goal of eventually eliminating police altogether.
Why
Do So Many Christians Vote Democrat? Christians have the power to swing the 2020 election — and a
responsibility to exercise this power in a way that upholds Biblical values and religious freedom. Churches have been
barred from holding normal public worship for nearly three months. Restraints on churches have been most severe in
Democrat-ruled areas. Democrats claim they "clean up the messes made by Republicans," yet Christian oppression is
strongest in cities like Chicago, Louisville, Madison and Holly Springs and in states like New York and California that are
long-time Democrat strongholds. Christians have a moral obligation to consider the horrific harassment of fellow
Christians when voting in November. Here are six recent examples of Christian persecution in areas ruled by Democrats
that occurred in March, April, and early May: [...]
CNN
Grills Minneapolis City Council President: How Do You Stop Killers Without Police? She Struggles To
Respond. CNN's Wolf Blitzer grilled Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender and Vice President Andrea
Jenkins late on Monday afternoon over their city's push to defund and dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department and
specifically pressed on how they would stop someone who was going around killing people. Blitzer began by pressing
Bender on what it means "to dismantle the Minneapolis police department," to which Bender responded in part by saying, "our
community is ready to re-imagine public safety from the ground up to think holistically and to make sure every single member
of our community is safe."
You
Want Us to Join Your Pain? You Must Join Ours. Psychotherapy often begins with emotionally painful
presenting problems. Here are a few of the deep wells of pain that tens of millions of Americans deserve to be
joined. We are sick of your verbal abuse of calling us racist. We are so nauseated by being guilty until proven
innocent of racism that we could vomit. So gagged by being called privileged, you can add bulimia to the presenting
problems. The most race-privileged people in American history are Barack and Michelle Obama. We are angry at your
multifarious criminality in persecuting our great president. We are enraged by your schemes to nullify our votes, to
disenfranchise us, to cheat us with fraudulent elections. We are tormented by your relentless attack on the U.S.
Constitution, on our right to bear arms, our free exercise of religion, and the enslavement you envision for our
grandchildren in the banana republic you are building. We grieve every life your evil abortion philosophy has ended.
Democrats,
party of lawlessness, press to collapse police. Eighteen state attorneys general — Democrats, of
course — have petitioned Congress for "explicit authority" to investigate local police departments for evidence of
abusive and unconstitutional action. Mark this moment as an official calendar day of Democrats' quest to collapse the
law and order structure of police departments around the country. One need only look to the chaotic protests in the
streets — one need only listen to the likes of Democratic leadership with their calls for resistance and cries for
opposition against conservatives — to see what law and order means to the left: That is, lawlessness.
The
building cold anger throughout America. America watches while radical leftists and aggrieved blacks riot, loot,
and commit acts of violence up to murder in cities across the country. And more galling than that is the lack of effort
by responsible public officials to stem the mayhem. Indeed, more than a few Democrat mayors and governors, when they
are not actually encouraging the riots, make excuses for those participating in it. One example comes from New York
City where hundreds looters and rioters were arrested only to be released in hours, due to blue-city "bail reform." Americans
have see this before and have a gut feeling that few if any of these domestic terrorists will be punished. Other
pathetic examples are of the police and some National Guard officers "taking a knee" in front of protesters to show
solidarity with them. This is not going on unnoticed by what I'll call the "silent majority." They are silent because
the media does not report on them. And if a reporter did ask, most would be reluctant to share their true feelings with
the fake media, knowing what they said would be ridiculed and likely used against them. So as with most things, the
ironically called "informed opinion" is blind as to the pulse of America. These ongoing demonstrations mixed with riots
are an offense against decency and the rule of law. This has countless Americans seething. This includes
independent voters and even many of run-of-the-mill Democrats, not all of whom are hard-core leftists.
Democrats know their time grows short. Liberty
University president Jerry Falwell Jr., in a recent podcast interview, said Democrats are making it easy for Republicans this
November — that a conservative sweep, due to COVID-19 crackdown madness and George Floyd-inspired out-of-control
rioting, is in the works and too bad, so sad, but that's the way the liberal cookie crumbles. And he's right. And
Democrats have to know their time is short. Why else would they tip so many loony card hands all at once? It's
desperado on full display.
Minneapolis
City Council prez: It's "privilege" to fear crime if we disband the police. Put yourself in the shoes of
black Americans, she says. Imagine if you caught someone breaking into your home and feared that calling the police
might endanger you more than confronting the burglar yourself would. It's "privilege" to know that you have less to
fear from the cops than the criminals. Or so she insists. Must be a lot of "privileged" nonwhite Americans out
there, then. I pointed to this result from a 2016 Cato Institute poll on policing in yesterday's post but it's worth
repeating: "9 in 10 black, white and Hispanic Americans oppose reducing the number of police officers in their
community — and a third say their community needs more officers the Cato survey found."
Wow!
Minneapolis City Council President Says Calling the Police on Burglars "Comes from a Place of Privilege". After
nearly two weeks of violence, mayhem, and rioting in Minneapolis, the City Council on Sunday voted on their intent to disband
the police department. The wild proposal would invest in "community-led public safety" instead of police
officers. "We are here today because George Floyd was killed by the Minneapolis Police Department. We are also
here because, here in Minneapolis and in cities across the United States, it is clear that our existing system of policing
and public safety isn't working for so many of our neighbors," Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender said in a
written statement Sunday, obtained by the Appeal. "Our efforts at incremental reform have failed."
Are States Going
To Prosecute Their Rioters? It Depends. Footage of violent riots and rampant looting is coming out of
nearly every major city in the U.S., but states vary wildly in their efforts to prosecute those responsible for the
unrest. While local police have had no issues arresting those engaging in violence, some jurisdictions have declined to
prosecute them. Others, however, such as Texas and Missouri, are taking a far more strict approach and partnering with
the federal government to press charges. Arguably the most relaxed reaction to rioters came out of St. Louis,
Missouri, where local prosecutor Kim Gardner refused to charge nearly 40 people arrested for rioting.
Can
this American version of the French Revolution bring change? Welcome to the American version of the French
Revolution. The horrible killing of George Floyd sparked an important focus on race relations and justice in this
country. However, it is being lost to an emerging radicalism that challenges people to prove their faith by endorsing
farce. Politicians and commentators are outdoing each other to demonstrate fealty to this new order by attacking key
institutions and values. Politicians are calling to defund the police and commentators are calling for
censorship. Most moderate voices seem to be fading under escalating demands. Take the idea to defund the
police. Once the mantra of the very extreme elements in society, it has now been picked up in Congress.
Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib has said that defunding the police should not be brushed aside. Democratic
Representative Ilhan Omar declared, "The Minneapolis Police Department has proven themselves far beyond reform. It is
time to disband them and reimagine public safety."
The
Democrats' Insane Vow to Disband Police. Fake news media's campaign to demonize police and Democrats' vow to
disband police departments are totally insane. Can you imagine what gangs such as MS-13 would do to this country
without police intervention? America has over 33,000 gangs with over 1.4 million members. For decades, Democrats
have tried every dirty trick in the book to repeal our Second Amendment right to bear arms. They claim that you should
always call the police rather than defend yourself. While still insisting that we surrender our guns, Democrats have
begun defunding and disbanding police departments. Antifa has boldly announced that it will begin invading the homes of
white Americans. Without guns or police, what are Americans supposed to use to stop anarchists from robbing, raping,
and murdering their families? Harsh language?
Portland
bans cops from using loudspeakers to break up George Floyd protests. The mayor of Oregon's biggest city is
forbidding the use of special loudspeakers to break up George Floyd protests — and is expected to ban tear gas,
too. Portland ended a ninth straight day of protests Friday [6/5/2020] in a fog of smoke and ear-splitting
sounds — intended to disperse thousands of demonstrators. Law enforcement officials also threw stun
grenades. Protesters took down a fence outside the downtown jail and threw objects over the fence at officers,
according to Portland police and the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.
The Editor says...
Presumably, the protesters themselves will continue to use bullhorns, even when the police can't.
Washington
Post: Let's cancel all the cop shows on TV. Writing at the Washington Post, author Alyssa Rosenberg has a
unique solution for the problems with our policing: Cancel all the cop shows on television. She argues we need to
do that because there's a "reactionary streak" behind the "surface liberalism" in these shows.
National
Guard Members Look for Place to Stay After DC Mayor Kicks Them Out of Hotel. Members of the National Guard on
Friday were looking for a new place to stay, after D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered that they leave the hotel they were
staying at, according to an official. The city had taken over the Marriott Marquis in downtown Washington, D.C. to use
for the National Guard's coronavirus response mission, but many rooms remained vacant, so National Guard members deploying to
D.C. as part of the civil unrest mission began staying there.
NBC
News Publishes Op-Ed Saying Our American Flag Means Nothing. NBC News published an op-ed blasting NFL star Drew
Brees for criticizing football players who kneel during the national anthem. The op-ed by Noah Berlatsky goes so far as
to say that Brees' "biggest mistake" in defending the American flag was "believing" that it "means anything." Brees has been
hit with an unprecedented amount of backlash this week after simply saying that he does not agree with kneeling during the
national anthem. The New Orleans Saints quarterback said that he views the move as a sign of "disrespect" and shared
the story of his military roots.
Poll:
56% Of Americans Believe Police Are Behaving Appropriately Or Not Being Aggressive Enough. A new NPR-Marist
poll found that 56% of Americans believe that the police are behaving appropriately or not being aggressive enough during the
nationwide demonstrations after George Floyd's death. The survey, which was conducted Tuesday through Wednesday, asked
1,062 American adults about police behavior in relation to the protests about George Floyd's death with a margin of error of
+/- 4 percentage points.
Police
Chief Forced Out After Offering Support For Armed Citizens. It's hard to believe that we're now at the point
where expressing support for a constitutional right can cause a public official to lose their job, but that Orwellian
nightmare's come true in Lowell, Michigan, where police chief Steven Bukala was forced to resign just days after expressing
his support for armed citizens who decided to patrol the downtown area while legally carrying firearms in an attempt to
thwart any looting in the area. The small town of about 4,000 people is located just a few miles from Grand Rapids,
Michigan, where riots resulted in burned out buildings, looted storefronts, and the arrests of at least eight individuals on
charges related to rioting or looting. Shortly after the riots took place, the Lowell police department posted on Facebook
about several individuals who were lawfully carrying in the small downtown area in an effort to prevent looting or rioting.
Members
of Minneapolis City Council vow to 'dismantle' police department following George Floyd's death. Minneapolis
City Council members are expected to hold an emergency meeting Friday to vote on some of the first changes to the city's
police department following the death of George Floyd, with some of the council's members vowing to "dismantle" the police
department, according to the Star Tribune. The council is working with the state's Department of Human Rights on a
stipulated restraining order that would require some immediate changes to the police department. The order would also
set up a timeline for an investigation into whether the police department participated in racial discrimination over the last
10 years.
Fleeing
The Collapsing Imperium. [Scroll down] Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, a white city council member is
challenging the people of the city to put up with home invasions and break-ins for the sake of racial change: [Tweet] She,
and other members of the city council, say they are going to dismantle the police department. Not reform
it — disband it. [...] If you are a Minneapolis home or business owner, the handwriting is on the wall.
Democrats
give DOJ liars and conspirators a free pass. Over the past few months, the media have subjected the public to a
barrage of opinions about lockdowns, infections, and the value of a human life compared with the livelihood required to
sustain it. What qualifies as "common sense" changes by the hour; still, media influencers strictly police challenges
to buzzy slogans meant to keep people afraid and at home. Their cheap moral panic has turned the national discourse
into a roulette wheel of grievance and threats that determines at random who is allowed to speak and on what terms.
Going
All-In: Minneapolis City Council Considers Disbanding Entire Police Force. Once you understand the larger
objectives, everything becomes a sequence of predictable events. The term "community policing" has been used for
several years by groups advocating for radical changes to law enforcement; however, behind the innocuous phrase is really a
much more serious agenda. If each community can determine the enforcement of law, then essentially all communities can
eliminate the underlying law itself. Remove local enforcement of law and the local community can independently assemble
a social structure separate from all other binding contracts that frame a larger societal compact.
'Abolish
the police!'? What happened when a major American city tried that a century ago. Nothing better reveals the
depth of the madness afoot in the land than the demands to defund or completely abolish the police. [...] Fortunately, there
is a real-life experiment in complete withdrawal of police protection that occurred a century ago that is available to learn
from. The Boston Police Strike that began September 9, 1919 led to immediate looting and chaos as soon as the sun went
down. In August, Boston police had voted to form a union affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, but ran up
against opposition from Boston Police Commissioner Edwin Curtis, backed by Massachusetts Governor Calvin Coolidge.
After attempts at compromise failed, the cops walked off the job at 5:45 PM. In the language of the day, "hooliganism"
broke out, with widespread looting. The following day, the mayor of Boston asked Governor Coolidge to supply force of
state militia, and he agreed. But in the time it took to raise a force that eventually numbered 5,000, about 3 times
the size of the Boston Police, looting increased on September 10, and continued for 9 days until the militia was able to
quell it.
John
Legend, Natalie Portman Other Celebs Sign Letter to Defund Police. Singers John Legend and Lizzo, and actresses
Natalie Portman and Taraji P. Henson are among the Hollywood celebrities who've signed a letter pushing the defunding all
police departments in the wake of the police involved death of Minneapolis man George Floyd. The open letter claims
that in 2017, $194 billion was spent on the police by America's various governments even as police have "continued profiling,
harassment, terror and killing of Black communities."
As
in the 1960s, violent rioting hurts the most disadvantaged. "America is burning. But that's how flowers
grow." So spoke Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey. "Riots are an integral part of the country's march toward
progress." So read a statement from the Democratic Committee of Fairfax County, Virginia, the affluent Washington suburb that
has a population of 1 million. "Please, show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful," asked
CNN's Chris Cuomo. He's apparently been too busy interviewing his brother, the governor of New York, to reread the First
Amendment, which protects "the right of the people peaceably to assemble." I take a different view. I know how violent
rioting, and that's what we've been seeing, despite media attempts at hiding it, can destroy a city and ruin the lives of its residents.
James
Woods Sums Up Democrats' Hypocrisy Regarding Virus Vs. Riots In One Tweet. On Wednesday [6/3/2020], having watched
rioters and looters burn and pillage through America as Democrat politicians refrained from condemning them, actor James Woods summed up
the Democrats' hypocrisy in one tweet, writing, "Democrats were literally arresting Americans for opening their businesses, but now are
silent as protesters burn them down. You were fined for worshipping in your church, but now cheered for marching in screaming crowds."
