Wisconsin gov. candidate Francesca Hong's response about 'canceling Thanksgiving'

 NY Post

A socialist Dem running for Wisconsin governor became visibly uncomfortable and served up a word salad when asked whether she still stands by her call to “cancel Thanksgiving” because it is “celebrating colonialism.”

"At the height of the Covid pandemic, Francesca Hong, who is the frontrunner to become the Democratic nominee in America’s Dairyland, said that the beloved holiday needs to be scrapped, and that America “should have done this in 1621.”

"She added: “If it takes a worldwide pandemic for us to realize we should stop celebrating colonialism and the original superspreader event that killed Indegenous [sic] folx [sic] and women so be it.”

'"CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Hong point-blank Monday whether she really believes that, and the democratic socialist uncorked with a bizarre 46-second response in which she made no effort to deny that she still wants to throw out the turkey.

I’m a chef, and one of the first meals that I made that was for the community when i was 16 was a Thanksgiving meal. I always think my hospitality background and owning a restaurant for 7-8 years, that bringing folks around the table to share conversation and build community is always a good thing.

But Thanksgiving is also a time that’s incredibly painful for many people in our communities. So I think there I wanted to make sure people understood there are multiple views, but views can evolve.

And the position I’m running for right now — and I think my background as a chef will actually help me become a better governor that’s able to bring more people to the table.

"Collins then thanked the candidate for joining her and concluded the interview.

"The socialist darling’s Thanksgiving hatred is not an anomaly, though. Hong has gotten hung up about at least seven American holidays in social media posts." . . .More...

Mike Rowe Absolutely Demolishes the DSA's Useful Idiots, One Painful Comment at a Time

Teri Christoph – RedState   

"My post referred to . . . a number of elected Democrats who have agreed to campaign on their behalf – including Gavin Newsom, who said, "The Democratic Party must accept the DSA in order to take back the Congress.” His words, not mine."

"Mike Rowe is a gem of a human being. He's a man's man who is both practical and smart – and he's not a bit afraid of using his celebrity to opine on controversial topics. He unabashedly champions America and everyday Americans, making it one his life missions to help young people learn the trades that will keep our nation humming along.

"And, boy does he have a way with words, which usually leaves those who question his beliefs looking quite foolish. One of the best things about Rowe's writings is that he makes his position on a wide variety of things quite clear, but you don't actually know his politics because it's not about that at all. It's about the truth. 

"Now, truth being the enemy of the Left, he often finds himself the target of angry keyboard warriors who can't stand the fact that Rowe doesn't always – or ever – share their overwrought beliefs.

"That's just what happened recently when Rowe posted a video of Bill Maher taking Democrats to task for welcoming communists into their party. When Rowe urged Democrats "to speak out loudly and clearly against an ideology that has been proven, demonstrably, to be a really bad idea," he was treated to a barrage of nastygrams from leftists trying to defend the party's embrace of DSA commies.

"His response to the 7,600 comments he got for telling Democrats to wake up resulted in one extremely long and epic X thread (included in its entirety below). Let's take a look at some of the back and forth." . . .More...

Cop involved in George Floyd saga reveals deeply chilling secret

 Revolver News  

"Minneapolis officials were desperate to stop the city from burning down to the ground. Dems were turning Floyd into a global political symbol and cashing in on it like never before. Corporate America had also placed its bets on Saint Floyd."

"The death of George Floyd became such an absurd political commandment.

"Within minutes, the media had settled on its cast of characters. They had their martyr, its villain, supporting cast of bad guys, and a well-crafted version of events that Americans were expected to accept without any question whatsoever. And thanks to this media and leftwing narrative, cities burned to the ground, shameless politicians, city officials, and Hollywood celebs took a knee, US corporations flooded the racial-victimhood industry with billions of dollars, and Derek Chauvin was declared a cold-blooded murderer way before the jury ever walked into the courtroom.

"It was an absolutely insane circus, with this dangerous edge that no one could stop.

"But one thing we can say with complete sincerity is this… we never believed justice was served.

"We believe Chauvin became the patsy in a political free-for-all that had no room for reasonable doubt, medical complexity, police training, or evidence that might interfere with the narrative that was racing around the world, like an Olympic gold-medal runner.

"Yes, the photos looked horrible. But a disturbing picture shouldn’t be used in place of medical records, a fair examination of police procedure, or an honest trial. But it was, and Chauvin and his fellow officers never stood a chance against a mouth-foaming mob.

"But the evidence was never as “clean” as the media pretended it was.

"The official Hennepin County autopsy ruled Floyd’s death a homicide and listed the cause as cardiopulmonary arrest. Chauvin didn’t murder him. In addition, that same report also listed arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease, fentanyl intoxication, and recent methamphetamine use as significant conditions that led to this death. The medical examiner also made clear that classifying a death as a “homicide” is a medical determination, not a legal finding of criminal guilt.

"Again, the autopsy didn’t declare that Chauvin murdered Floyd, quite the opposite, actually." . . .More...

How we know Americans will have to pay reparations:  When our national leaders kneel for George Floyd out of fear that the supporters of Maxine Waters, Jasmine Crockett, Al Green, and many other Democrats will burn our cities down. 

How did that work out? Humiliating contrition did not work; will reparations suffice? Never enough for the scowling activists and the likes of present and former MSNBC commentators. TD

 

Navarro Went To Prison For Less Than Fauci's Bogus 5th-Pleading

The witness who appears and stonewalls needs an objectively valid excuse; Fauci’s blanket Fifth is not one.

 The Federalist   

"The statute Congress wrote already draws the line. The witness who appears and stonewalls needs an objectively valid excuse; Fauci’s blanket Fifth is not one. The witness accused of willful default must be shown to have known his conduct was unlawful; Navarro’s jury was never even allowed to hear why he believed the opposite."

"One hundred and eleven. That is how many times Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment before a congressional committee this week, reading the same canned sentence no matter what he was asked.

"Four. That is how many months Peter Navarro spent in federal prison under the very same statute, after telling Congress exactly why he believed he could not comply: President Trump had invoked executive privilege, and the privilege was not Navarro’s to waive.

"The two contempt-of-Congress cases could not be more different, and the difference is not politics. It is written into the text of the statute on contempt of Congress, which Congress split into two distinct crimes with two distinct standards. Understanding that difference tells you two things at once: why a contempt charge against Fauci might actually stick — and why Navarro’s conviction should not survive the appeal now.

"If Fauci is charged with contempt of Congress, it will be under 2 U.S.C. § 192 — the same statute the Biden Department of Justice charged Navarro with. After someone receives a subpoena from Congress compelling his testimony, Section 192 prohibits two different actions: (1) “willfully” defaulting (that is, neither producing requested documents nor showing up for the hearing); and (2) refusing to answer relevant questions without a justifiable excuse.

"Fauci would be charged under the second clause, refusal to answer relevant questions. While the prosecution would have to prove that this refusal was deliberate rather than accidental, that would be easy here. Fauci deliberately and intentionally refused to answer nearly every question put to him on matters big or small.

"The only defense available to Fauci under the second clause would be if he had a justifiable excuse for refusing to answer questions. The Supreme Court has said that the Fifth Amendment, properly invoked, trumps the investigative powers of Congress. So if Fauci properly invoked the Fifth Amendment, he would defeat a Section 192 charge.

Iran is running out the clock to get a weak POTUS

"Between fanatic leftists in the Democrat party and the DSA, feckless Republicans, and apathetic voters, Iran knows that time is on its side."

 M.B. Mathews   

"I have never seen America this close to extinction. Nor have I seen this much apathy among conservative voters. Nor has it come this close to destruction at the hands of Islamists and Communists. Something’s got to give."

"The way things are going in America, with communism in the ascendancy, Iran knows it cannot prevail or even implement its jihad against America so long as Trump is in the White House. The plan, then, is to run out the clock until Trump is gone. Then, after the midterms, if Democrats win, they will attack a weakened America, the voters of which had the unfathomable chutzpah to install even more communists in Congress and governorships and courts.

"America will be weaker the moment Trump leaves office. The left still plans to impeach him, and jihadists plan to destroy us.

"Current leftist contenders for the Resolute Desk are, at the very least, anti-conservative. In the middle are the socialists. At the far end are the communists and Islamists who want more than life itself to conquer the Land of the Free and make her their slave. It’s what they live and die for.

"America has been an irritant to Islamists from the beginning. Now, under Trump, she is too strong to conquer. But the next POTUS, unless he is as MAGA as Trump, will be bait dangling above the dark hoods of the Islamic Republic’s fanatics. Bait gets eaten. The star in the crown of Islam will be killing the Great Satan—America. Then Israel.

Fauci’s Private Diary Contradicts His Public Claims

 Victor Davis Hanson

"He’s the most important famous man in the nation, maybe the world, on and on and on. It’s just unfiltered egomania unchecked. He’s also unscientific. Remember, he told us that, “I remain the science.'” 

"By the time you hear this, Anthony Fauci has testified before Rand Paul’s senatorial committee, and he’s going to be extensively cross-examined. Why now? Because Anthony Fauci had come under a lot of controversy for his role as Donald Trump’s unofficial COVID czar between 2020 and ’21, and Joe Biden’s czar from ’21 all the way up to the end of the Biden term, and he had communicated through emails, but he was very careful usually to say, “Erase this email,” or not to be candid. 

"But for some reason, he kept a diary, and he did so on government files, government property. It was very hard to find. It was on 11 different servers. But Rand Paul’s team compiled some 1,100 pages since 2019, right on the eve of the COVID pandemic, and it is completely at odds with what he was telling you, the public, telling the President of the United States, and telling colleagues in the scientific community. 

"What does one learn about Anthony Fauci? I must say at the beginning, it is kind of unfair to expose someone’s inner thoughts. I’ve never kept a diary, but I suppose that people who do vent sometimes, they exaggerate, they let off steam, and we don’t know to what effect he was doing that, but we do have an incriminating record written by Fauci himself. 

"He is a narcissist. While 9,000 to 10,000 people are dying a day, he’s talking about whether he’s going to be eating with Jake Tapper that night. That’s against Fauci’s own rules of social distancing and in-house quarantine. You can’t go out. Remember, you couldn’t go out for Thanksgiving or Christmas. 

"And like Gavin Newsom and like Nancy Pelosi, we see the architects of these policies. Fauci, in particular, is violating them. But he talks about all the awards he could get, how he could angle to get a million here, five hundred thousand there, what type of exemption he could get, how wonderful he was on CNN or MSNBC, how Trump is impressed by him. 

"He’s the most important famous man in the nation, maybe the world, on and on and on. It’s just unfiltered egomania unchecked. He’s also unscientific. Remember, he told us that, “I remain the science.” But in his own admission, he calls in 12 expert virologists, and he asks them, given the genetic imprint of the SARS-2 virus, where did this come from?

Fifth Amendment Fauci’s Narcissism Destroyed Faith in Scientific Methodology | The American Spectator    

. . . "The Atlantic, in a post-hearing article, noted that Sen. Rand Paul had published Fauci’s pandemic-era diary with the writer declaring Fauci “was spending part of his time cataloguing his own growing fame with the excitement of a child star who had been asked to sign an autograph for the first time,” calling it “embarrassing to an excruciating degree.” It speaks volumes that his home office in 2022 was shown with a huge portrait of him, plus two separate images … and a Fauci bobblehead. His diary notes he was particularly proud of the toy." . . .

The Confession of Joe Biden

Jonathan Turley  

"The record is now largely complete. So is the inescapable conclusion: Biden lacked clarity on most everything but his alleged crimes. His deception and culpability were established in both the Zwonitzer and Hur interviews. Biden gave Hur a virtual confession, and Hur gave him a pass.

 "Below is my column in The Hill on the release of the tapes from former President Joe Biden’s interview with his biographer. The Biden team fought for years to keep the public from hearing the tapes. We now know why. Here is the column:"

"For years, former President Joe Biden has fought to prevent the release of tapes acquired by former special counsel Robert Hur in his investigation. After those efforts collapsed this month, it became clear why Biden and his aides were so determined to keep the public from seeing the evidence.

"In addition to showing Biden’s mental diminution even before he was elected president, the tapes show that Biden effectively confessed to the crimes Hur would later excuse on the grounds of his mental infirmity.

"Biden’s interviews with his biographer, Mark Zwonitzer, conducted four years before he would be elected president, show that Biden was already having trouble remembering names and dates.

"Hur was tasked with determining whether Biden had committed the same crimes that led later to charges against President Trump — retaining classified material, mishandling such material, and related crimes.

"It turns out that Biden had already admitted to these alleged crimes, years before the documents were found in various offices and the garage of his home.

"Despite all the evidence of knowledge and use of the classified materials, Biden and his aides suggested that no one had been aware of its removal and repeated transfer. In the meantime, after the raid on Mar-a-Lago to search for classified material removed by Trump, the Justice Department granted Biden and his team every possible accommodation.

"Then came the searches of his home, with the pictures of files in his garage, office, and other locations. These included clearly marked classified material." . . .More...

You Simply Cannot Give Power to Lunatics

"From Ceuta to Cuba to Tehran — and increasingly the American left — the same destructive ideas keep proving that reality is no match for ideological zeal."

This is neither negotiable nor avoidable. It’s a lesson we seem doomed to repeat the hard way, and we will invariably learn it again soon."

"And in less than five years, Cuba’s population has declined from 11 million to less than nine and a half million. Just as Venezuela, Cuba’s protege communist paradise, ran off a quarter of its own population in a decade.

"To live like that is lunacy. Cuba won’t for very much longer; it can’t.

"And yet the lunatics are somehow not discredited.

"We’re watching the Democrat Party come apart at the seams. As David Catron noted on Monday, James Carville says he won’t be in the same party as Hasan Piker, and that’s a noble sentiment, but it’s too late. Polling indicates the Democrats can’t stop Francesca Hong, a committed — well, in one sense; in another she’s uncommitted, and this is a problem — lunatic running for governor of that state whose Twitter/X feed contains some of the most insane, hateful drivel imaginable. Just recently, Hong dropped a post on X which accused the patrons of the Wisconsin staple Culver’s Restaurants of genocidal racism based on her own feelings and perceptions without any concrete substance to them, which generated national buzz, and yet the Democrat voters of that state don’t seem to be coming off her. She’s going to win her primary unless something massive changes. 

"And Piker just descended on Wisconsin to stump for her. Which doesn’t appear to be a scandal among the party’s voters. 

"Piker is also stumping for Abdul El-Sayed, who is now as much as a 15-point favorite over the more establishmentarian Heather Stevens in the Michigan Senate race. El-Sayed comes from an accomplished academic background and has apparently made a lot of money based on the properties he and his wife own, but we don’t know how he managed it. He’s an avowed DSA socialist whose speeches and pronouncements contain open rejections of the American founding and way of life, and it doesn’t seem to bother Michigan Democrat voters in the least.

"Because Michigan Democrats, like Wisconsin Democrats, are now made up of a majority of lunatics who think that abandoning American culture, economics, and politics and putting people like Francesca Hong and Abdul El-Sayed, not to mention Darieliza Avila Chevalier and Zohran Mamdani, in positions of power will create something better.This isn’t stupidity. It’s lunacy. It’s pathological, because we already see, in the decline in Western Europe and the destruction in Cuba, what those belief systems create.

Anthony Fauci Hurt America's Children ... and Her Future

 "The damage the once-vaunted Fauci did to society's most vulnerable was incalculable."

Joseph Ford Cotto - American Thinker

. . . "In 2022, he told CNN he was happy to testify before any congressional committee. He said he had nothing to hide and that everything he did could be explained. On July 29, 2026, under subpoena before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times. Fauci refused nearly every question about origins, gain-of-function research, and the policies he supported.

"Fauci accused Chairman Paul of obsession and claimed the hearing existed only as a humiliation ritual. Democrats on the panel rushed to his defense. They praised his 50 years of federal employment, called the session a political trap, and attacked the Donald J. Trump administration instead of asking hard questions.

"One senator said the hearing was designed to ensnare a man who put Americans' health first. Another warned that scrutinizing Fauci would chill future public servants. Unsurprisingly, neither came close to holding Fauci accountable.

"This is the same Democratic Party that once deified Fauci, treating his critics as heretical to the sacred cause of public health.

"In May 2020, Kamala Harris, then a senator from California, thanked God for Fauci on national television and cast him as a truth-teller who put people above politics. Countless other influential blue politicians, alongside lefty pundits and progressive physicians, essentially rendered Fauci above reproach.

Megyn Kelly UNLOADS in Epic Rant on “Ignorant Fool” Minnesota Lynx Coach Cheryl Reeve Over Transgender Locker-Room Claims (UPDATED)

" Megyn Kelly unloaded on Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve Monday, calling the longtime WNBA coach an “ignorant fool” who needs to “take a seat” and stop lecturing America about transgender athletes invading women’s sports and spaces.

"The blistering segment came as Reeve continued pushing the radical claim that “biological men” are not showing up in girls’ locker rooms and that the real priority is protecting “trans kids” while finding “common ground” to keep males in female categories.

"“It is not the case that we have, quote, biological men in girls’ locker rooms,” Reeve said Saturday. She argued that the debate unfairly portrays transgender women as predators and insisted that “every kid has a right to sports.”

“I come from a space of inclusion,” Reeve told reporters. “The narrative that I think is problematic is to suggest that transgender athletes are the biggest problem in women’s sports. This is what’s bothersome. There is a faction of people in our country that are making this a massive issue.” . .

. . . Kelly continued:

“There are biological men in women’s locker rooms. Why don’t you take two minutes and listen to Riley Gaines’s account of what it was like swimming against Lia Thomas in the NCAA championships?

“Why don’t you just take two minutes and listen to the testimonial of one of our most famous athletes who is outspoken on this issue? It absolutely is happening.

“Ask any member of the UPenn women’s swim team from two years ago who were told they needed to get therapy when they said they did not want to change into their bathing suits in front of an intact male.”

Kelly concluded by blasting the vague demand for “inclusivity,” asking: “Inclusive of whom?”     More...

[General George Brinton] McClellan: The original Fauci

"How serendipitous; reading all the character studies on Mr. Fauci, my thoughts went to Bruce Catton's book, Mr. Lincoln's Army, wherein he details the self-absorbed thoughts of this young general propelled into the national spotlight." [For which he was emotionally unprepared]. 

 J.R. Dunn - American Thinker   

 . . . "has there ever been a previous American as narcissistic as this guy? Well, difficult as it is to believe, there actually was. His name was George B. McClellan, and he was the commander of the Army of the Potomac during the first years of the Civil War."

. . . "That’s right. The entire government -- President Lincoln, the cabinet, and Army chief Gen. Winfield Scott -- all waited anxiously to hear what McClellan had to say, unable to come to a decision or make a move without his go-ahead. And beyond that: ”The people call upon me to save the country -- I must save it and cannot respect anything that is in the way... I have conversation after conversation calling on me to save the nation."

"It goes on like this page after page, one blast of rampant egomania after another. It’s too bad there was no mass media at the time. He’d have had more to write Ellen about.

"And when he wasn’t polishing his halo, he was dropping absolute contempt on everybody he was working with. Winfield Scott, who had served the country for over fifty years, was a “perfect imbecile” and a “traitor.” His nickname for Scott was “Dunky,” which means exactly what you think it does. McClellan worked to undermine Scott with some success – he forced him into retirement in November 1861, taking over as general-in-chief and doing a worse job than Scott had ever done.

"He tried to do the same with Lincoln, whom he dismissed as a “baboon’ and “gorilla.” At one point he told his wife that he had been advised by many people to “take the army and march on Washington.” (Now we know where Mark Milley gets his ideas.) He topped this off by running against Lincoln in 1864, failing in that, too.

"As the song goes, those were different times. So it’s hard to say whether George McClellan actually outdoes Anthony Fauci in the demented, over-the-top narcissist race (at least he didn’t kill as many people). But to my mind, running for the presidency clinches it. Come on, Tony. Go for it. 2028 is right around the corner."  More...

The Dumb, Arrogant Liars Who Are Also Journalists - American Thinker 

"Together, the Russia Collusion Hoax and the Reign of COVID Tyranny proved just how monstrously dishonest mainstream “journalists” really are.  There is nothing too preposterous for them to present as “truth” if doing so advances their preferred political narrative."  

. . . [Fauci's] lies were profound, and because mainstream news institutions refused to . question anything he said, his lies were the only bits of information allowed to circulate in the public sphere.  So-called “journalists” not only repeated verbatim exactly what the government’s chief medical bureaucrat claimed to be true but also cheered social media platforms for censoring competing points of view.  “Reporters” working for The New York Times and CNN were enthralled by Fauci’s perceived professional prestige and institutional authority.  Why?  Because they are enamored of their own perceived professional prestige and institutional authority.  They worship glory and accolades; they are slaves to appeals to authority; they care nothing for the pursuit of truth.

This is why so many “journalists” jumped to defend Fauci’s honor after his embarrassing refusal to say anything truthful.  MSNOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell insisted that the dishonorable doc had “done more in service to this country than…the entire current United States Senate combined.”  CNN’s Jake Tapper pretended that he wasn’t having dinner parties with Fauci while the rest of America was kept in lockdown and isolation.  And CNN “media analyst” Brian Stelter continued to ignore how both Jake Tapper and Dana Bash developed unethical personal relationships with Fauci while CNN’s “journalists” portrayed the health bureaucrat’s lies as unquestionable “truths.”

"If you need a reminder of just how sanctimonious and authoritarian mainstream media mouthpieces were during the Reign of COVID Tyranny, watch this video montage of Jake Tapper and other hysterical fearmongers demanding that Americans submit to the COVID police state and do everything Fauci required of them.  In that video, Fauci menacingly tells Americans, “Now is the time to do what you are told.”  Around that time, CNN’s quack medical expert, Dr. Leana Wen, argued that the “unvaccinated” should not be “allowed” to leave their homes." . . .    More...
