Nancy Pelosi and Her Democrats’ Unending SHAME

DonkeyHotey
"Nancy Pelosi is back to her old tricks, dishonest as ever. No plot to destroy this president is too wicked to deploy."

Patricia McCarthy   "There are some truly terrible people in Congress; there always have been some throughout American history. But as the country navigates the course of this mis-modeled and over-hyped COVID-19 pandemic, Nancy Pelosi stands out as a genuine enemy of America. She loathes the president so much she has relinquished any semblance of ethics and her own personal character. Every word she utters is a lie.

"She knows damn well that the president was on top of this virus crisis while she and her fellow anti-Americans were gleefully and despicably embroiled in their attempt to remove the president from office. Not one of the principals in this fiasco – Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, or the rest of them gave a single thought to the potential threat of the disease emanating from China. There is no record of any of them even mentioning it until the economic shutdown brought it to their attention. But for calling Trump 'xenophobic' when he banned flights from China, none of them registered the virus as dangerous to the U.S. Once it became clear it was a serious threat, they all got on board to blame it on the president, to spread the lie that he was late to recognize it and is thus to blame, as Barbra Streisand put it, for 20k deaths. What abhorrent nonsense. Pelosi is the de facto leader of a liars' club. And just as when the same bunch went after then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, there is not one bit of truth to their accusations and they all know it. This is how malevolent Pelosi and her disciples are. No plot to destroy this president is too wicked to employ.

"Pelosi and her fellow ghouls conference-called on Monday during which she called the president’s “failure” to provide testing, masks and gloves “sinful.” Whew! That takes a level of chutzpah even most members of Congress would eschew. Most know they dropped the ball due to impeachment. But to fabricate a narrative so provably false takes a mind and soul wholly without scruples. And like the rest of the left, she and her partners in prevarication are all in on the wholesale destruction of the American economy as long as it takes President Trump down too. That is how unprincipled they are, the lot of them.

"Trump has handled this pandemic far better than most world leaders which is why the Pelosi-Schiff-ites hate him so. Because he is not one of them, not a member of their club, they naturally assumed he would be incompetent, not up to the task at hand – running the United States. As it turned out, he is the most competent man we’ve had in that office in decades. He has beat them at their devious games over and over again and they never see their defeat coming. . . ."

Brutal Trump-de-Force at the Coronavirus Hearing Leaves Media Screaming 'Pull the Plug!'

Trump knows that millions of Americans appreciate this in-your-face message to the media. How the media will respond after this is anyone's guess.
Victoria Taft  "Donald Trump absolutely lit up his own Coronavirus Task Force press briefing with a more than six-minute, tour-de-force media takedown that had CNN and MSNBC sputtering and reaching for the plug.
"Trump said hello and turned the media briefing over to the NIH's Dr. Anthony Fauci to clarify his words uttered on CNN on shutting down the country earlier to prevent more deaths.
"Then, Trump took over and it was ON. He listed the timeline of his response to the coronavirus and presented a video of incorrect statements by the press on COVID-19.
It was more than the Trumpiest of Trump updates, it was a Trump-de-Force:
"The video looked like a professional ad:
"MSNBC and CNN, which usually begin taking the updates only after Trump has spoken, stayed with for Fauci and, when Trump began bagging on the media, bugged out early:
"CNN reported that Trump was lying: . . .More...

Michelle Obama’s odds to be Biden’s vice president surge as Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar fade


Then it will be racist to oppose Biden. TD

TDaul Bedard  "Former first lady Michelle Obama is back in play big time as a favorite to be Joe Biden’s running mate.
"As Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday made a surprise endorsement of Biden in a warm and humorous video chat, the focus turned to Biden’s pick for vice president and gambling markets charted by Oddschecker.com saw a surge of support for Obama.
" 'Michelle Obama has been the most backed person in the market, accounting for almost 32% of all bets,” the firm said.
"Spokesman Pete Watt told us, “Following Biden’s announcement that his VP would be female, plenty of names are being thrown into the ring, and the latest to attract a significant amount of attention is the former FLOTUS, Michelle Obama.”
"He added, “Although her odds of +2500 [25-1] indicate that she remains an outsider with just an implied chance of 3.85%, you can expect to see that figure shoot up if she continues to receive bets at the same rate.”
"The betting analysis site also showed that former favorites, Sens. Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar, have begun to fade as interest in Obama has surged.
Obama has ruled out a run, but Democrats are increasingly excited that a newly united Biden-Obama ticket would be the ticket to beating President Trump.
"In the Oddschecker analysis, headlined “2020 US Election Odds: Michelle Obama Backed To Be Joe Biden's Vice President,” Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s odds of being picked by Biden are also rising, to 6-1. She has had on-and-off fights with Trump over the administration’s response to the coronavirus."

'Not about switching parties': Democratic state lawmaker in Georgia endorses Trump reelection

Washington Examiner  "A Democratic state lawmaker from Georgia endorsed President Trump's reelection bid but does not plan to change political parties.
"State Rep. Vernon Jones, 59, announced his support for the president on Tuesday, citing Trump's record on helping black people, military veterans, and farmers with his policies.
" 'It’s very simple to me. President Trump’s handling of the economy, his support for historically black colleges, and his criminal justice initiatives drew me to endorse his campaign,” Jones told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
" 'This is not about switching parties. There are a lot of African Americans who clearly see and appreciate he’s doing something that’s never been done before,” he added. “When you look at the unemployment rates among black Americans before the pandemic, they were at historic lows. That’s just a fact.”
" 'Jones did not offer criticism of 2020 presumptive Democratic nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden, nor did he indicate that he wouldn't have endorsed Trump had Democrats picked a different candidate. He did, however, have harsh comments for his party after Super Tuesday turned the tides in the primary by boosting Biden.
" 'Some in the party would say they stole it from Bernie last election, and now, they’re wanting to change the rules to hurt him this time,” Jones explained at the time. "What makes the party more intelligent and able to pick the presidential nominee than the people? My powder’s dry. I’m not endorsing. But I am frustrated with the process.”   More...

Megan Rapinoe Complains Her National Anthem Protest Was Not Well Received

Politics Daily  




"U.S. women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe complained that her national anthem protest was not well received despite her being a “non-threatening” white woman.
"Rapinoe became one of the first white athletes to kneel during the national anthem and subsequently stated, “I’ll probably never sing the national anthem again”.
"Now she’s whining that Americans weren’t impressed by her antics.
“ 'I actually felt like it was going to be received a little better,” Rapinoe told CNN’s Van Jones. “Like, OK, well, woman, white, sort of non-threatening. No, that was not the case.”
"She then reeled off a list of vague justifications for protesting against the anthem.
"“You know mass incarceration’s happening. You know police brutality, you know the history of our country. For me, honestly it was kind of a no-brainer,” she said.
"Rapinoe’s anthem protest may have been better received if she hadn’t behaved like a petulant, obnoxious child throughout and after the Women’s World Cup.
"Rapinoe was caught on video ranting “I deserve this” while holding the World Cup trophy and appears to attempt to make herself the center of attention at every available opportunity.
"The soccer star was also involved in an incident at the end of the final game where the American flag was dropped on the ground."

Well, Democrat Washington Governor Jay Inslee considers Rapinoe Secretary of State material  She would have done well dealing with America's enemies; they'd know there would never be anything to fear from us. Freedom-loving Iranians protesting the Mullah's rule would be on their own like they were when Obama was president. TD
. . . "As Breitbart News reported:"
Rapinoe has emerged as one of the most potent symbols of the anti-Trump resistance after she declared that she did not want to go to the “fucking White House” even if her team brought home its fourth World Cup title.
The co-captain has refused to put her hand over her heart and sing the national anthem and made headlines before the World Cup when she kneeled during the national anthem in support of Colin Kaepernick.
Left-wing polling outfit Public Policy Polling actually polled a hypothetical presidential matchup between Rapinoe and Trump. The poll, released this week, had Rapinoe defeating Trump by a percentage point.
. . .
 Unworthy winner? Fans claim Rapinoe Ballon d’Or award based on politics rather than performances  . . . "Rapinoe also scooped the FIFA Best Women’s Player prize in September, on the back of captaining the US to World Cup glory in France in the summer, where she won the Golden Boot for top scorer and the Golden Ball for best player.
"She was later seen holding the trophy up at a parade and modestly proclaiming “I deserve this, I deserve this.' ” . . .
. . . "Openly gay, Rapinoe has frequently used her platform to espouse social equality while targeting US President Donald Trump.
"Among the critics of her Ballon d'Or award was former US women’s international Ella Masar, who tweeted:  
“We have come SO far in the women’s game but seriously, when will it stop being a POPULARITY contest?!? 4 the men, it’s stats, it’s numbers for country AND club, but for women’s ... well it can be seen as a jk. They’re incredible players, absolutely, but the best 4 the year?! Hmmm.”

Obama to Finally Endorse Biden...The RNC Had a Great Reaction


Cortney O'Brien  "In his video endorsement, Obama paints his former vice president as a man who fights for the middle class and one who will bring "grace" and "humility" back to the White House." . . .
. . . "We're nearing the eleventh hour of the 2020 presidential election, and former President Barack Obama has finally endorsed his old VP Joe Biden. He had no choice really, now that Biden is the presumptive Democratic nominee. He plans to make it official via a video message on Tuesday.
. . . 
"Quite a few Sanders supporters do not plan to follow the senator's lead. Here's just a small list of progressive groups who say that there's no way in hell they'll endorse Biden until he agrees to support some of their farfetched, socialist proposals." . . .

The [NY Times] allowed feminist Gloria Steinem to give Bill Clinton a pass on his credible rape allegations back in the 1990s. Why? Well, because he's a Democrat.
. . . "So, again, please spare me the lectures about how the Democrats are the party for women. They're doing a Chinese propaganda-like production in trying to sweep an allegation under the rug that targets a former VP. Trump Derangement Syndrome can make liberals do some pretty crazy stuff.
"As for the Biden sexual assault allegation, is that why Barack Obama is staying away from him?"


Nancy Pelosi and her Democrats’ unending shame

President Trump fights the media narrative about his COVID-19 response

To leftists, this commentary is infuriating. They attack it relentlessly, calling it divisive, crude, unpresidential, gross, etc. For conservatives, though, it’s refreshing and invigorating to see a president following the Confucian model of “rectification of names.” That is, Trump is improving the political world before our eyes by speaking the truth, avoiding euphemism, and making words correspond with reality.
Andrea Widberg continues her fight:  "On Monday, Trump took the press conference to a whole new level. He directly attacked the media’s effort to rewrite history with their false allegations that Trump, due to ineptitude and crude political calculations, failed to respond to the virus in a timely and efficient way, effectively killing Americans.
"In the face of media lies and slander, George W. Bush, always the gentleman, would have said nothing. Trump, thank goodness, has no effete gentlemanly notions. If you slander him, he fights back.
"Trump’s grand moment at the press conference began when he made irrefutable factual statements about the facts on the ground and his responsive actions. He then showed a video that summed up his aggressive efforts responding to the virus, the way the media once downplayed the virus, and the grateful thanks Trump received from many governors, both Republican and Democrat, as they struggled with the virus in their states.
Wilberg gives more examples of the Trump-media conflict, but we post these two:

A CBS reporter screeches at Trump – but she’s wrong about her facts

Our previous story of yesterday continues:

Andrea Widburg  "CBS’s Paula Reid was on fire during Monday’s Presidential task force press conference about COVID-19. She started by demeaning Dr. Fauci by asking him a question that implied he’s either hostage to or a puppet of President Trump. That was just a warm-up. Later in the press conference, she started shrieking at President Trump that a video he had shown earlier in the press conference misrepresented his affirmative response to COVID-19 because it implied that he was on top of things in February.
"A visibly irritated Trump answered that, in fact, he had taken many steps during February to respond to COVID-19, but CBS's disrespectful little harridan wouldn’t let up. Aside from being a disgraceful way to talk to the leader of the most powerful nation on earth (if you don’t respect the man, at least respect the office), Reid was completely wrong in her assertion. In other words, she wasn’t a powerful woman taking on a tyrant, she was a shrill Karen being disrespectful to a President of the United States who’s been working hard to protect the American people: . . ."  More
. . .
"For more about the Trump administrations’ proactive response to COVID-19 beginning in January, you can view a timeline here.
"This is not Reids’ first fake news moment when it comes to Trump. She was also one of the reporters who promoted the media’s claim that violence in Charlottesville was all about “white supremacists” attacking innocent people. An honest reporter would have acknowledged that it was a clash between combatants – white supremacists on one side; Black Lives Matter and Antifa on the other. You can see her here, the perfect Karen, attacking Trump for daring to say that there was ugliness on both sides, even as she worked hard to downplay Antifa's and BLM's role.
"Anti-Trumpers, of course, didn’t care about the facts nor about respect for the office. They simply liked seeing a shrieking leftist shrew hurling lies at the Republican President of the United States: . . .
Ms. Widberg has more: Fauci strongly rebuts media efforts to paint him as a Trump hostage  "Monday’s COVID-19 press conference will be memorable because President Trump used it to slap back at the media’s attempt to rewrite his timely and aggressive response to COVID-19, even as media types were on the airwaves saying it was nothing more than a flu."




Dr. Anthony Fauci: Contrary to media spin, Trump followed our virus mitigation recommendations   "[Monday's] Wuhan coronavirus press briefing was an amazing event.
"First, Anthony Fauci eviscerated claims in the media that Trump refused to follow mitigation recommendations soon enough.
"That claim was made after the media misleadingly cherrypicked a portion of a sentence from an interview Fauci did with Jake Tapper on Sunday. That created another frenzied news cycle about how Trump had blood on his hands.
"Fauci eviscerated that narrative: . . ."


The press responded as one might expect, calling Trump's video as a campaign commercial
