Biden's blithely unconstitutional government

When Vice President Al Gore was caught soliciting campaign donations from the White House, he excused himself by repeating one of the slipperiest phrases in the dictionary of political dodges. There was, he intoned seven times in an excruciating 1997 press conference, “no controlling legal authority” to confirm that his money grubbing was illegal. His logic, if you can call it that, was that since no court decision could be cited — no one had ever had the gall to dispute the matter before a judge — it was impossible to be sure he’d done wrong. The problem for President Joe Biden and his lawless administration today is that their ban on landlords kicking out tenants ...
Wisconsin Parents Are Fed Up With Schools’ Attempts To Brainwash Their Kids

Wisconsin parents are fed up with their school districts’ attempts to indoctrinate their children, and they aren’t going to stay quiet any longer. For months, parents in the largest GOP suburban stronghold in the state, located outside Milwaukee, have tried to push back on the Elmbrook School District’s creeping shift to the left. Now, they are asking other residents to sign a petition demanding Elmbrook prioritize “education over activism.” “It’s been a lot of very involved parents looking at what their kids are studying probably because they’ve been home and doing remote learning, but also realizing that things are very aggressively moving in a ...
Andrew Cuomo's COVID policy killed thousands — that's what should have ended his career

If you kill a few thousand senior citizens through negligent policymaking and subsequently try to cover it up, that’s considered politically survivable in the current climate. Alleged inappropriate behavior around staffers, however, is a death sentence. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been accused of all these things. While his sexual misconduct and egregious mishandling of COVID-19 are both heinous, they are not equally so. It should not be controversial to assert killing the elderly through incompetence is far more depraved than anything the New York Attorney General has accused the governor of doing to his subordinates. The public response from the media is currently flipping the ...
California’s COVID Recall

Gavin Newsom wants you to know his kids are not political weapons. Your kids, however, are another story. California’s governor, a man constitutionally incapable of speaking in anything other than clichés, appeared Wednesday evening on CBS News to complain his political opponents noticed (once again) he’s a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do kind of guy when it comes to the state’s COVID-19 rules. Newsom, you might remember, made national news in November when he was photographed at Thomas Keller’s famous (and famously expensive) French Laundry restaurant in Napa, hobnobbing indoors with medical industry lobbyists, neither wearing a mask nor social distancing—all of ...
NYT Lies About Trump Again With Claim He Pushed DOJ To Declare Election ‘Corrupt’

On Friday, The New York Times claimed it had obtained the handwritten notes from a post-election meeting between then- President Donald Trump and acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue. Those notes, according to the Times, reveal that when Donoghue “warned that the department had no power to change the outcome of the election,” Trump “replied that he did not expect that.” “‘Just say that the election was corrupt + leave he rest to me’ and to congressional allies,” the Times reported Donoghue’s handwritten notes as stating. However, a review of the notes from that December 27, 2020 meeting, provided by ...
Colin Reed: Biden and 2022 – what the six-month mark tells us about the future for Dems, GOP

(Many special elections were won by GOP, I say that's a good sign for GOP). The six-month marker of the Biden administration is a natural point to reflect, and to take stock of next year’s midterm elections. The mainstream media has been quick to declare Democrats with the upper hand. "Democrats See Edge in Early Senate Map as Trump Casts Big Shadow" pronounced a recent New York Times headline, while CNN declared "A new election forecast gives Democrats hope for 2022." On the House side, the combination of history, redistricting, political gravity and a razor-thin Democrat majority put Republicans in the driver’s seat. Even Democrats are conceding this ...
The dark side of transgenderism: Moral monsters are mutilating children without parental involvement
Post Date: 2021-07-31 12:54:20 by tankumo

The Left’s long-standing effort to substitute government power for parental authority is picking up ominous strength, as signified by the trend toward state-ordered mutilation of minor children through sex-change surgeries, even over parental objections. Now the Journal of Medical Ethics is giving credence to this monstrosity by publishing a piece arguing parents should “lose veto power" over most transition-related pediatric care. As John Stonestreet of the faith-based Colson Center summarizes it, the journal article posits that parents “shouldn’t even be allowed into the conversation.” This isn’t just some theory or story about people using annoying ...
Byron York's Daily Memo: For the FBI, a shameful anniversary

FOR THE FBI, A SHAMEFUL ANNIVERSARY. Five years ago, on July 31, 2016, the Federal Bureau of Investigation opened Crossfire Hurricane, its investigation of the presidential campaign of former President Donald Trump. Some parts of the bureau had been looking into allegations of collusion between the campaign and Russia even before the investigation began. But on July 31, the FBI started the process that led to a million leaks, enormous damage to candidate Trump, and then President-elect Trump, and then President Trump, the abuse of the government's secret surveillance court to wiretap a low-level Trump adviser, efforts to impeach the president, more leaks, media hysteria, and, finally, ...
Sen. Marco Rubio: We must stop Silicon Valley-Democrat collusion before conservatives are silenced for good

The love affair between Big Tech and the Democratic Party is not a secret. Through campaign contributions, censorship, and woke nonsense, it’s perfectly clear that Silicon Valley giants are working together with the Left to destroy conservative values in America. But White House press secretary Jen Psaki’s admission last week that the Biden administration keeps regular contact with social media companies – and is "flagging problematic posts" related to COVID-19 and vaccines – is a disturbing new step in this dystopian collaboration. The way Psaki describes it, President Biden is working directly with Big Tech to censor Americans and silence free speech on the ...

What Jim Jordan would have said

WHAT JIM JORDAN WOULD HAVE SAID. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously banned Republican Rep. Jim Jordan from the new select committee to investigate the Capitol riot. So when the committee met for the first time on Tuesday, Jordan was nowhere to be seen. But it turned out he was still attending a meeting of a select committee — the select committee on the coronavirus crisis. Pelosi, who said Jordan's presence would diminish the "integrity" of the Capitol riot committee, apparently did not feel he would have the same effect on the COVID-19 committee, of which he is a member. The hearing topic was "Oversight of Pandemic Evictions: Assessing Abuses By Corporate ...
Republicans Crush Democrats In Georgia Special Election

(I guess this is good sign that conservative voters are taking part, which is good, the worst thing is conservative voters stay home and refuse to vote.) After a dismal showing in 2020, Georgia Republicans are finally on the rebound. The vote came back on Tuesday in a Georgia special election held over a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives with a landslide victory for the Republican candidate. In a poll shift that greatly upset Democrats, Republican Devan Seabaugh won a decisive victory against Democrat Priscilla Smith in a crushing result of 26 percentage points, 63% to 37%. In 2020, Rep. Bert Reeves, a Republican, won only by 12% but left the seat to take a job at Georgia ...

Bush’s Democrat opponent. “There’s no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election, and I think the interference, although not yet quantified, if fully investigated would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016,” former President Jimmy Carter proclaimed during a 2019 panel discussion sponsored by his nonprofit organization. “He knows he’s an illegitimate president,” Hillary Clinton seethed when asked about Donald Trump during a CBS interview nearly two years ago, ...

Angry, and armed, the militiamen in Michigan were gearing up, getting ready to unleash their fury over an unjust government and zeroing in on a target who they believed upended their lives with pandemic restrictions: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. They trained with live assault weapons; skulked around Whitmer’s summer mansion in the dark as they allegedly plotted a wild scheme to kidnap her, even relying on an Iraq war veteran among them for his tactical experience. The June 2020 plot by the Wolverine Watchmen — which authorities claim included the possible use of a stun gun on Whitmer and talk of blowing up a bridge to prevent cops from giving chase — never came to pass, broken up ...

Earlier this week, Michelle Beckley, a member of the Texas House of Representatives, issued a rousing call-to-arms on social media: “My name is Michelle Beckley,” she tweeted. “I’m one of the brave Texas Democrats who came to DC to fight for voting rights in my state.” Supporting voter rights is, of course, a noble cause — but does it really warrant Beckley’s description of herself as “brave”? What could be the cause of such hyperbole? The answer, I suspect, is that Beckley was one of several representatives who chartered a private jet and fled Texas on Monday for Washington DC to break the quorum needed in her state’s House of ...
Biden tells fleeing Cubans to get lost — while flooding the southern border

President Biden is full of compassion for Hispanics fleeing their home countries — with one exception, that is: liberty-loving Cubans. The president is abandoning practically all controls on the southern border. Despite mouthing the words “Do not come,” the White House has adopted policies that send a clear, contrary message: “Cross illegally, and you can stay.” At the same time, Biden is slamming the door on Cubans setting sail for Florida to escape a Communist dictatorship. These anti-Communists aren’t the kind of Hispanics whom Democrats like. Consider the damning contrast: Customs and Border Protection agents on the southern border are literally reaching ...
Stefanik Nails Why Pelosi Is So Afraid of Republicans on Jan. 6 Select Committee Decision

House GOP Chairwoman Elise Stefanik blasted Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday after announcing she would not allow Republican Reps. Jim Jordan and Jim Banks on the Jan. 6 Select Committee. The two GOP lawmakers were among the five House members chosen by Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to sit on the committee. "Nancy Pelosi is a radical authoritarian Speaker of the House. The American people have always known the truth - that the Pelosi partisan January 6th commission was never about investigating the facts, it was only ever about Pelosi's radical politics and the Left's endless obsession with crushing any discussion or debate,” Stefanik said in a statement. “This ...

American support for same-sex marriage continues to increase, even as religious conservatives battle LGBTQ community on other fronts By MARK WINGFIELD 70% of Americans now support same-sex marriage. Bipartisan support for same-sex marriage in America continues to soar forward, even while some state legislatures are attempting to enact a raft of other anti-LGBTQ bills. Having lost their previous crusade against same-sex marriage, religious conservatives now are driving Republican legislative attempts to restrict LGBTQ rights in other ways, especially targeting transgender persons. The venerated polling firm Gallup reports that 70% of Americans now support same-sex marriage, a new ...

To objectively understand what is occurring in Cuba, to gauge how these events are once again affecting the United States, and to put forth a response, one must understand the history of the Castro dictatorship and how America has related to it. The government in Cuba is a self-described socialist-Marxist regime, as proclaimed by Fidel Castro himself. It is a murderous, perennial abuser of human rights. The proof of its 60 years of murder are legion, one of which can be found here. Firsthand accounts of torture and decades-long incarceration in horrific conditions can be found in “Contra Toda La Esperanza (Against All Hope)” by Armando Valladares and “Cómo ...

Parents shocked by the racist curricula that their local schools are teaching their children should have every right to take their tax dollars to another institution. But they should also consider keeping their children in public schools and fighting for control of them. When one reads that third graders in Evanston, Illinois, are being taught that “white culture shows up in the way we think about family structures” and that a belief in a “normal family” consisting of “a mom, dad, son, daughter, and pet” just “isn’t true,” the instinct is to take one's child home and find another school. Millions of parents faced with critical race theory ...

Facebook is killing people, misinformation is rampant, and the only people who can save us from ourselves are the all-wise executives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue whose judgment is infallible and whose motives are pure. That’s the message emanating from the White House and the corporate press. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced last week that, due to 12 unnamed people on social media posting what the Biden administration considers to be misinformation, the White House is actively “flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation” and “helping” to “boost trusted content.” Going even further, Psaki said nothing is “off the ...

Most Arizona Republicans say election audit will show Trump won: poll By TAL AXELROD A majority of Arizona Republicans in a new poll said that a partisan election audit there will show that former President Trump won the state’s 11 Electoral College votes instead of President Biden. Sixty-two percent of Arizona Republicans said in a new OH Predictive Insights poll that Trump will receive more votes in the state after the GOP audit is completed. Another 21 percent of Republicans say Biden’s victory will stand, while another 16 percent are unsure.

That he was running scared? That the jig was up? Well, the worm has turned, and now it’s my pleasure to announce that six months into Joe Biden’s own first term, the walls are closing in. If he isn’t on the verge of being forced to resign or face impeachment yet, the only thing saving him ...

How often during the last year of wokeness have middle- and lower- class Americans listened to multimillionaires of all races and genders lecture them on their various pathologies and oppressions?

The media used to be biased, presenting news that favored the political proclivities of those doing the reporting. However, it has moved far beyond that into advocacy and sometimes outright deception. My personal experience with the media is a window into that change and into the current attacks on conservatives. As I began my career as a documentary filmmaker in the late '70s and '80s, already the conservative complaints of bias were loud and also justified. Bias was easy to spot. Reporters covered stories and were sympathetic to one point of view, call it the "pro" side. So, the story would lead with the "pro" side and end with the "pro" side, ...
