PETA Condemns Fishing as ‘Cruel’ Harassment

These people vote and choose those who run this nation. TD

Breitbart  "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has denounced fishing as a cruel sport, insisting that fish feel pain and urging all anglers to become vegans.
“ 'Fish are sentient individuals who feel pain,” PETA stated in a tweet Friday. “Invading an animal’s natural habitat, harassing them, killing them, and eating them for fun is so cruel.”
“ 'Don’t go fishing this summer, or EVER,” PETA commanded.
"In their accompanying video, PETA asks viewers to try to imagine what their cold-blooded brethren feel by putting themselves in the fish’s place.
“ 'Anglers often try to retrieve hooks by shoving their fingers or even a pair of pliers down a fish’s throat. Doing this doesn’t just rip out the hook, but also part of the fish’s throat and organs,” the video states.
“ 'Can you imagine having a hook pierce your face before suffocating to death?” it asks.
“ 'No one deserves this. Try vegan!” it adds, seeming to suggest that human rights and fish rights are basically equivalent and that a fish is a “someone” just as a human being is." . . .

PETA Wants a Memorial to Dead Fish
"In her letter, [the PETA representative] argues that even though these memorial signs are usually reserved for humans, these fish deserve one because they’re people too:" . . .

"Perhaps their compassion can be directed to this dying, still unborn baby experiencing the pain of being aborted:  . . . "After injecting the hormone into the patient’s womb, the doctor left the syringe standing upright on her belly. Then, Selzer wrote, “I see something other than what I expected here. . . . . It is the hub of the needle that is in the woman’s belly that has jerked. First to one side. Then to the other side. Once more it wobbles, is tugged, like a fishing line nibbled by a sunfish.” 

"He realized he was seeing the fetus’s desperate fight for life. And as he watched, he saw the movement of the syringe slow down and then stop. The child was dead. Whatever else an unborn child does not have, he has one thing: a will to live. He will fight to defend his life. The last words in Selzer’s essay are, “Whatever else is said in abortion’s defense, the vision of that other defense [i.e., of the child defending its life] will not vanish from my eyes. And it has happened that you cannot reason with me now. For what can language do against the truth of what I saw?' ” . . .

Hours After Joining the Congressional Black-Jewish Caucus, Ilhan Omar Expresses Support for Linda Sarsour

Legal Insurrection

By once again standing shoulder to shoulder with anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar demonstrated her goal was to undermine the bipartisan caucus she had just endorsed.

"If nothing else, one thing most people would agree on about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is that when she wants to get a message across, she doesn’t waste any time.

"Such was the case earlier this week when, on Wednesday evening, the freshman Congresswoman tweeted out support for a newly-formed bipartisan caucus for black and Jewish House members . . . and then sided with anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour in a Twitter war over one of the caucus’s Jewish founders just hours later.

"Here’s a timeline of what went down:

"On Monday, the American Jewish Community advocacy group officially announced the formation of the coalition:". . .

Biden has just blown his cred as a moderate, non-scary Dem

There is now no reason for moderate Democrats, scared of the party's vocal activist base and the hard-left shift they have forced on it, to trust that Biden won't cower and cave in to that base on other issues.  

Thomas Lifson  "The dirty little secret of Joe Biden's frontrunner status is that most traditional Democrat voters are scared of the party's vocal left-wing faction and the politicians who pander to them with ruinously expensive policies like the Green New Deal, racialism like "slavery reparations," and talk of raising taxes and imprisoning Donald Trump on charges to be determined later.

"The inevitable fall of Biden just accumulated downward momentum by his reversal of position on the Hyde Amendment (banning federal funding of abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or threat to the mother's life).  For decades, he has cited his deep Catholic faith as the reason he cannot support taxpayer-funded abortions.  But what's a deeply held religious position when his political career is at stake?" . . .

. . . So why support a bumbling, gaffe-prone (AKA stupid), ancient pol if he is useless as a bulwark against the hard left?" . . .

Where do pro-life Democrats go now?  . . . "ZIP code?  How pathetic!

"The flip is a total crock and makes Biden look weak and foolish.  The Hyde Amendment is about federal funding of abortion and nothing more. 

"Why did he flip anyway?  He is up significantly in the polls.  Standing up to the Left would work for Biden in the general election.  He could say he believes in Roe v Wade but not in forcing taxpayers to pay for abortion.  He could add that he agrees with most Americans who want restrictions on late-term abortions without taking a woman's right to choose.

" 'Pathetic" is not strong enough." . . .

Donor To Alabama University After Donation Rejection: You Have Put A Shotgun In Your Mouth and Pulled The Trigger

Matt Vespa  . . . "As with any school, you don’t trash it and you don’t tell students to boycott it over something that is not within the realm of their control. The university’s board of trustees returned a $20+ million gift and removed the donor’s name from the law school. This comes after Hugh F. Culverhouse Jr. urged students to boycott the institution over the state’s abortion law that recently passed. The law is one of the strictest anti-abortion laws on the books, which sent liberals into a frenzy. " . . .
