It's Deanna Loraine or Nancy Pelosi

Mark Levin's Fan Club of Intelligent, Thinking Women (and Men)


AERIAL ATTACK: “Pelosi For Prison” Banner Spotted In The Skies of San Fran


. . . "Lorraine posted a photo of the airplane flying around the city on her Twitter account early Thursday morning and told this Gateway Pundit reporter that the plane will circle San Fran for several hours.  
“I am running for Congress to clean out the corruption that is Nancy Pelosi. Instead of caring for the people of San Francisco and advancing their issues on a national scale, she spends her time conducting asinine impeachments, petulant theatrical tantrums and ripping apart the President’s State of the Union Speech,” said Lorraine.
"The banner, which measures a whopping 25×80 feet, promotes pelosiforprison.co, a splash page petition site where the upstart candidate encourages people to put Pelosi in prison for her crimes against America. DeAnna bills the House Speaker as a “known violator” of our Constitution and accuses the pickled partisan of using her political power for personal financial gain.
“It’s past time we start hitting her hard on her record of poor leadership and egregious crimes against America, and I look very much forward to retiring her in November.” . . .

Bernie turns his fire on Buttigieg; The politics of envy.

American Thinker
Sanders has criticized the former Indiana mayor before, but not like this.

Politico "MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — Bernie Sanders has a new target: Pete Buttigieg.
"In the days leading up to the first-in-the-nation primary, the Vermont senator is lighting up the former South Bend mayor over his billionaire donors while his aides are circulating talking points calling him “a favorite candidate of Wall Street and the health care industry.” Hours before the presidential contenders were due on the debate stage, Sanders’ team also managed to get the hashtag #PetesBillionaires trending on Twitter." . . .



. . . "Though Sanders has needled Buttigieg over his billionaire contributors previously, his most recent comments represent something of a shift. He almost never mentions Buttigieg on the trail, and until now has trained most of his fire in the Democratic contest on Joe Biden and Michael Bloomberg. The change underscores the importance of New Hampshire to Sanders’ campaign — and the fact that Buttigieg is nipping at his heels in the first-in-the-nation primary state." . . .

. . . Sanders’ talking points, which were obtained by POLITICO, state that Buttigieg is “soliciting money from corporate executives and billionaires to fund his campaign” and that he supported Sanders’ Medicare-for-All proposal until “he started raising big money.” Forbes found that Buttigieg “has more exclusive billionaire donors than any other Democrat in the race.” . . .  More

. . . "It’s a constant struggle really – to understand if feminism is all about showing as much sexiness as possible with as little clothing as possible OR if it’s about not being objectified.  I can’t keep up.  I mean, obviously Shakira and JLo wanted everyone to see their bodies writhing around and have as many ass and crotch shots as possible.  So….are they empowered by that?  Are they ok with the fact that they were leered at by millions of people who were likely paying far more attention to their bodies than their music?  Or are they gonna be mad that people were thinking about them sexually when they were performing instead of appreciating their songwriting and singing?" . . .

‘Slanderous’: Rush’s longtime producer Bo Snerdley asks CNN, Acosta to prove racist claim against boss

Learn the techniques of Trump-bashing by visiting this page of 'The View"
The Official Fan Page Of The View  This week on their show, Joy Behar called Trump a racist, as most in media do. In response to these things, "Bo Snerdley" posted these thoughts:
"Veteran Limbaugh Producer Bo Snerdley: “I just saw the footage from CNN’s Jim Acosta saying Rush has a ‘history’ of saying disparaging things about African Americans.
“ 'I have been in the studio with Rush for 30 years. I would like to formally challenge CNN and @Acosta to provide the list.' "

This regarding their kindred spirits at CNN:






‘Slanderous’: Rush’s longtime producer Bo Snerdley asks CNN, Acosta to prove racist claim against boss  "One of the most remarkable things seen from the American political landscape since talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh announced he has been diagnosed with advanced-stage lung cancer has been the outpouring of genuine concern and support.

"A lack of compassion and downright vile behavior from many on the left has also been noteworthy." . . .

. . . "At the same time, the left denounced the moment and the man, as seen when CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta commented on the president’s speech being an attempt to court the black vote — an attempt Acosta worked to counter by lashing out at an ailing Limbaugh, suggesting that Trump was honoring a racist.
“ 'He was trying to make appeals to the African-American community,” Acosta said. “It can’t be forgotten he was awarding the Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh, who has a history of making derogatory comments about African-Americans. So I think, you know, overall it’s a wash.' ” . . .
. . . "Snerdley, whose real name is James Golden, formally challenged the reporter and his anti-Trump network to prove the accusation." . . .

Democrat SOTU

Don Surber


"I know the governor of Michigan gave the Democrat response to President Donald John Trump's uplifting, rousing, and patriotic State of the Union address. But she is just their Bobby Jindal glossing over where the party stands. The true state of the Democrat Party is as American as the Iranian flag.
"They gave Iran 150 times what they gave Ukraine, and did not require Iran to fire anyone first.
"What do Democrats want for America?
"1. Open Borders. Democrat mayors across the United States order their police to ignore lawful orders to turn over to ICE illegal aliens who have committed violent crimes.
"Julián Castro was the first Democrat presidential candidate this time to call for ending deportations. He wrote, "Immigrants seeking refuge in our country aren’t a threat to national security. Migration shouldn’t be a criminal justice issue. It’s time to end this draconian policy and return to treating immigration as a civil — not a criminal — issue."
"The rest of the candidates followed his lead." . . .

3. Reparations. Elizabeth Warren said, "I believe it’s time to start the national, full-blown conversation about reparations."
 4. Trillions in new taxes. Bloomberg wants to go after "high earners," while Warren wants to confiscate 2% of the acquired wealth of billionaires.
5. Medicare for All. It is actually Medicaid for all as it would eliminate private insurance. Even liberals choke on this one. *
6. Yuppie Chow. The word Yuppie fell out of favor but forgiving $1.6 million million (or $1.6 trillion if you prefer) in student loans is welfare for mainly young urban professionals, most of whom are white. Colleges fleeced them, now they want to fleece taxpayers.
 7. Legalizing Crime. They have legalized pooping in the street, using hard drugs (needle exchanges) and shoplifting (stealing less than $960 is no big deal) in cities in California. New York state has ended requiring bail.
8. Eliminate the Electoral College. Unable to win the last election constitutionally, Democrats want to get around it by having states give up their electors to the candidate with the most votes. The problem with that the Constitution requires approval of each house of Congress and 38 states to eliminate the Electoral College. I do not see an honest judge approving this scheme.
9. Letting felons vote.
They call this restoring their rights.
How about we begin by restoring their rights to own a gun? 
. . . *The Eye-Popping Cost of Medicare for All  . . .  "Senator Elizabeth Warren’s refusal to answer repeated questions at last night’s debate about how she would fund Medicare for All underscores the challenge she faces finding a politically acceptable means to meet the idea’s huge price tag—a challenge that only intensified today with the release of an eye-popping new study." . . .


Commentary on Mitt Romney

American Thinker
National Review: What Is Consistent about Mitt Romney?  "His condescension to the public and esteem of himself"
. . . "But I’ve never understood him. Once the subject turns to politics, law, and morality, the things Romney says and his actions don’t quite match, or his reasoning doesn’t cohere. Unable to understand him, I’ve found him impossible to believe. And on two subjects in particular it has been impossible to reconcile his words and actions: abortion and Donald Trump. Exploring the first can help us illuminate his approach to the latter." . . .
. . . "Slate journalist Will Saletan wisely noted that Romney continued to avoid describing his convictions directly, referring instead to how he negotiated his conscience and public attitudes. “This isn’t a man talking about what he believes,” Saletan observed. “It’s a man talking about framing a public posture under constraint.” What Saletan observed is not so much Romney changing his views on abortion as changing his political identity on the issue."

What Supreme Being guides Romney's stands on Abortion?  From ABC News article, "Mitt Romney's Abortion Evolution" . . . "Here is a rundown of Romney's stances on all things abortion-related, from supporting Roe v. Wade in 1994 to disavowing it in 2011, to backing away from any legislative changes in 2012." .  . .

Explaining why Mitt Romney really voted to convict Trump   . . . "Former staffers on the Romney campaign are rebuking their former boss, saying he's "motivated by bitterness and jealously."  That's somewhat true, but it's not the full story.  As much as Romney craves hero status among the Georgetown set, he hates that the very people who backed his presidential run also stood behind a vulgar reality TV host. 
"The difference is that Trump won.  Romney will never forgive Republicans for making that happen."
Mitt Romney's Oath before God
Does he not think that these undisputed offenses might "perhaps" (got to have that weasel word) be more abusive, etc.  to one's oath than  Trump's contended offense, even if we assume the worst?  And if so, with words like "appalling" and "flagrant" already used to describe Trump's contended abuse, what words does Romney use for the far more ominous abuses of the Obama administration?
. . . "Here, he is suggesting that his devotion to God is the reason for his decision, which implies that, for other senators, such devotion is not the reason. " . . . 

GOP Rep. Calls for Romney to be Expelled from Republican Caucus  “ 'Frankly, I don’t know what the difference is between Mitt Romney and a Democrat at this point,” Gaetz continued." . . . Matt Gaetz (R., Fla.)

"Why I’m Not Upset with Mitt Romney"

Coverage Of Mitt Romney’s Impeachment Vote Is A Case Study In Media Bias
. . . “ 'Jeff Van Drew’s Party Switch Underscores The Particularly Partisan Impeachment Of Trump,” blasted the Washington Post.“ 'Another Democrat, Wooed By Republicans, Likely To Oppose Impeachment,” wrote Newsweek."There was no coverage of heroism from Van Drew or Peterson coming from the mainstream media in their act of defiance."The episode showcases a common double-standard practiced in the mainstream media today, where practicing bipartisanship only makes one a principled public servant if it plays into the media narrative. It’s clear that simply switching parties on a major issue only makes one a hero if it hurts Republicans."
 Senate acquits Trump in impeachment trial; Romney breaks with GOP to vote for conviction . . . Democrats praised Romney’s decision. “Mitt Romney has restored my faith in this institution and my faith in the basic idea that political courage can exist in a polarized world,” said Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii. (Editor’s note: This shows the hypocrisy of the Democrat politicians who accused Romney of murder. . . "  But then he was running against Obama, a despicable thing to do.

Mitt Romney’s Impeachment Vote Backfires on Utah’s Push for S.386 Green Card Giveaway  "Utah Sen. Mike Lee is pushing his S.386 green card giveaway bill, in part, because the state’s political and business establishment is betting imported Indian graduates will jump start the state’s version of Silicon Valley.
"But Utah Sen. Mitt Romney’s vote to impeach President Donald Trump has created a new problem for Lee’s controversial bill, whose passage via the fast track Unanimous Consent rule has been blocked several times by GOP and Democratic Senators.

“ 'Lee’s immigration bill will give Silicon Slopes the high-tech workers it needs,” said the headline on an article posted by the Salt Lake Tribune. The December article was written by Miles Hansen, the president of a state-backed operation tasked with recruiting new investment into the state: . . ."

SKITS: Nightmare In Paradise | 3-year Old Chooses Gender

Religio-Political Talk
MOONBATTERY hat-tip:
  • A recent arrival from Kansas learns what it is like to run a business in the People’s Republic of California…. You can see why the pathologically despotic Michael Bloomberg sees hyper-regulated California as a model to emulate. You can also see why moving vans tend to be full when they leave California and empty when they return. But the Third World still keeps the state’s population growing, if slowly.

Hillary Tweets "No One Is Above the Law" Then Refuses To Accept Lawsuit Against Her

It would appear no law can touch her.

Zero Hedge  
"So no one is above the law, except if it’s Hillary Clinton, who has now TWICE refused to accept service from Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s lawyers, as part of a $50 million defamation suit relating to Clinton’s accusations that Gabbard is a “Russian asset”."




"Gabbard’s attorney, Brian Dunne told The New York Post, “I find it rather unbelievable that Hillary Clinton is so intimidated by Tulsi Gabbard that she won’t accept service of process. But I guess here we are.”
"The Post notes that “Dunne said their process server first attempted to effect service at Clinton’s house in Chappaqua on Tuesday afternoon — but was turned away by Secret Service agents.”
"The report continues, “The agents directed the server to Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, who on Wednesday claimed at his Washington, DC, firm, Williams & Connolly, that he was unable to accept service on Clinton’s behalf, said Dunne.' ” . . .

@HillaryClinton tweeted:
Richard Nixon once made this argument: "When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal."
He was forced to resign in disgrace.

Risks of Ignoring a Subpoena and Refusing to Attend a Deposition
"Subpoenas must be served in person to someone that is required in court. This means the individual must accept the paperwork and his or her attendance is required, and if he or she does not show, he or she may be found in contempt with possible negative consequences." . . .

Rep. Mike Johnson offers Speaker Nancy Pelosi some acquittal pens to pass around

Weasel Zippers

. . .
Twitchy  "This is great. As Twitchy reported, Speaker Nancy Pelosi had a truckload of pens with her signature inscribed ready to sign the two articles of impeachment against President Trump so she could hand them out as party favors to the House impeachment managers; even CNN’s panel thought it was a little tacky for such a somber and prayerful occasion.
"Turnabout is fair play, however, and Rep. Mike Johnson says he has some acquittal pens ready to pass out “just in case Speaker Pelosi is too torn up” to hand them out." . . .
