GOP Decides to Keep Same Top House Leader

Newsmax  "House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., two of President Donald Trump's closest allies on Capitol Hill, easily held onto their posts Tuesday in internal party races after a strong Election Day showing by House Republicans in which they cut into the Democrats' majority, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., also kept her role as chairwoman of the House GOP conference, despite opposition from some Republicans over her disagreements with Trump on foreign policy and the handling of the coronavirus crisis.

GOP lawmakers told the Journal that talk about replacing her faded due to concerns about getting rid of the only woman in the House Republican leadership." . . .

. . . "Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., explained, "Republicans can taste the majority, and we're so certain of getting the majority back [in 2022], we're going to keep the team that got us to where we are."

"Banks is running unopposed to become chairman next year of the Republican Study Committee, which make policy proposals in an attempt to influence legislation.

"McCarthy said at a press conference he is confident Republicans will exert more influence over the chamber during the 117th Congress due to the Democrats' smaller majority, The Hill reported." . . .

A Morally Defective Party and a Day of Reckoning

Royal Diadem

The party and its deep state players have become a stinking corpse of human behavior. Watching Antifa and Black Lives Matter burn, loot, kill and destroy are only illustrations in their sick playbook for power.

LORI FLAHERTY

"Slow crawling our way into the last few weeks of the 2020 presidential election cycle, one thing has become clear: The level of depravity of the morally defective party of the Democrats is frighteningly real.

"We are going to need more than a new Congress or even populism to turn this Titanic around.

"I haven’t written much about the presidential race because, simply put, it has been absurd.

. . . 

"In Proverbs 29, King Lemur summed it up this way:  “A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth, and by justice a king gives a country stability, but one who is greedy for bribes tears it down.”

"Could there be any greater wisdom for the times we are living in today? Behind Hunter and Joe stands traitorous Obama, Hillary Clinton, Andy McCabe, James Comey, James Clapper, Peter Strozk, Sally Yates, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Nadler, Robert Mueller and hundreds of others." . . .

San Francisco Artist Paints Greta Thunberg’s Face On The Side Of A Building…

 Imagine waking up to this giant painting every morning.

Greta Thunberg Mural Equipped With Laser Eyes That Shoot At SUVs

. . . “ 'We want the mural to really make a positive impact in the fight against climate change,” a spokesperson told sources. “Greta’s pouty glare is certain to generate guilt and shame in many motorists, but that didn’t seem like enough. By adding the lasers, we can begin taking out the worst offenders in their Hummers and Land Rovers.”

"When the lasers were first activated, they immediately targeted the carbon-emitting hydraulic cranes and aerosol paint sprayers used to create the mural. The glitch has since been fixed.

"Sources confirm the lasers will be suspended when Al Gore and other climate activist celebrities visit San Francisco and drive through town with their fleet of Suburbans and Escalades."

Jihadists Are Rooting for a Biden Presidency

"That Biden has stated that he wishes that schools would teach more about the Islamic faith is music to those whose ultimate aim is Islamic domination.  Biden is either unaware of the true reality of Islamic ideas of supremacy or on board with them.  As a tool for the totalitarian left, he is the perfect point man." . . .

Eileen F. Toplansky   "It should be of grave concern that America's avowed enemies are cheering on the possibility of a Biden presidency.  Thus, "Iraq's pro-Tehran factions have welcomed Joe Biden's election as US president[.]"  That such politicians who have called the U.S. "evil" and shout the phrase "death to America" would be pleased by a possible Biden win speaks volumes. 

Vijeta Uniyal explains:

The Iranian regime is equally upbeat in its statements about a possible Biden-Harris administration, hoping to revive the Obama-era appeasement policies.  If the mainstream media and the Biden-Harris camp have their way, the Tehran and pro-Iran terrorist groups may have a good reason to rejoice.  A Democrat-led administration will likely undo President Donald Trump's legacy on Iran, lifting economic sanctions and ending the campaign of maximum pressure against the world's biggest sponsor of terrorism and its Islamist proxies across the Middle East.

"In addition, the fact that the terrorist organization the Muslim Brotherhood  wishes Mr. Biden well should send clarion bells ringing. 

"According to Khaled Abu Toameh:

Some Arabs say they are worried when they see the Muslim Brotherhood celebrating the results of the US presidential election.  These Arabs fear that the Muslim Brotherhood, backed by Qatar and Turkey, is preparing to make a comeback under a potential Biden administration.  The message Arabs are sending to the new US administration is: Do not repeat the mistakes of former President Barack Obama, whose administration sided with then Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, a Muslim Brotherhood member.  The Arabs also want to remind a potentially new US administration that the Islamists and their supporters are inveterate liars who care only about their own interests.

"Indeed.

"At the Arab Weekly site, one learns "that Pro-Muslim Brotherhood activists and media professionals in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and the Gulf states did not hide their prayers for a Biden victory.' " . . .

Jihadist Beheads French Teacher For Sharing Cartoons About Prophet Muhammad

Where is the support for Biden?

 Alison Tempestilli  "If grand-scale election fraud enables a Biden presidency, the new Cheater in Chief will have less support than he thinks.  Sure, the left-wing politicians; the media; Hollywood; and a cadre of triggered, uninformed citizens are (somewhat) on his side, but more people than they care to acknowledge are on the side of preserving our country and living life in freedom and peace.

"The people I know who voted for Biden are unusually quiet.  They were not a part of the phony spectacle that broke out after the unauthorized media called the race.  Perhaps they know that the mere mention of the election hits a raw nerve with associates who were certain of a Trump victory, or perhaps they realize that something truly untoward has gone on.  The MSM will do what they can to conceal the irregularities and illegalities that occurred during Election Night.  According to them, the collusion of blue states to stop the count when Trump had the momentum is just a right-wing conspiracy theory.  They are pushing the legitimacy of the unbelievable large number of blue ballots that rolled in after the suspicious halt in counting and the Dominion voting machine glitches that changed Trump ballots to Biden.  Nothing, in fact, that transpired after the voting stopped was in Trump's favor.  Mere coincidence, say the media.

"This election stinks to high heaven, and tens of millions of people believe they are being cheated out of their right to a fair election.  There is no telling how many fraudulent ballots were cast or legitimate ones thrown away, but it could be in the millions.  If Biden grifts his way into the White House, it will be with far less backing than the Biden camp or the media would have us believe."

Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer can't bring themselves to condemn Antifa and BLM violence

 Monica Showalter  "After continuous suggestions that President Trump was at the root of violence in America's cities, and that the leftists perpetrating it would abate once Joe Biden was elected president, the left remains angry and violent.  Electing Joe Biden, if anything, made them more violent. 

"This past weekend, the assaults, trashings, garbage fires, and beatings of President Trump's supporters by the mobs of Antifa and Black Lives Matter stepped up.

"And Joe Biden?  The guy who makes "presidential" statements at every turn?  The best he could come up with, under pressure, was this, according to Fox News:

"President-elect Biden continues to denounce all acts of violence," Biden spokesperson Andrew Bates said Monday, although he did not name Antifa or Black Lives Matter.

"Likewise, he also condemns the repugnant displays of white supremacy that were made in Washington, DC this weekend," Bates continued, citing a sign displayed at the march that read "Coming for Blacks and Indians first welcome to the New World Order." 

"Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said likewise, and House speaker Nancy Pelosi was

completely silent.

"Biden's sorry excuse for a condemnation is roughly parallel with what Pelosi's Congress did when confronted by repeated statements of anti-Semitism by Rep. Ilhan Omar and forced into a vote about it.  Instead of condemn Omar and her introduction of fourth-world anti-Semitic ravings into the national body politic, the kind that are found in hellholes like her native Somalia and places famous for their terrorist production such as Syria and Pakistan, the cowardly Pelosi-led Congress sought instead to spread the blame, making the condemnation against both anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, since, see, everyone does it, and Omar suddenly became the victim.  Remember this?

"The measure also cited recent death threats against Jewish and Muslim members of Congress and noted that "white supremacists in the United States have exploited and continue to exploit bigotry and weaponize hate for political gain.' " . . .

Antifa/BLM vs. Proud Boys

After departing the Washington Monument, the Proud Boys continued their march through the streets after having asserted their dominance over the Antifa/BML mob. 

Tony Branco

Ryan Smith  "Saturday welcomed a huge crowd of President Trump–supporters in Washington D.C. who peacefully protested evidence pointing to massive voter fraud across our country.  There were many notable speakers at the event.  Notwithstanding, members of the
crowd were stalked by the likes of Antifa and BLM activists seeking to intimidate and instigate political violence.  Numerous Trump-supporters, who were detached from the main crowd, soon became prey to the cowardly mob of the left.  Later in the evening, that mob was soon introduced to the inevitable reaction to their unchecked intimidation and political violence. 

"As members of the StopTheSteal protest crowd began to disperse, attacks by Antifa and BLM ensued.   Numerous assaults on Trump-supporters were caught on camera by live streamers throughout the afternoon hours on the streets of Washington, D.C. 

"It is heart-wrenching to watch the attacks.  A hardened veteran to Antifa violence, Andy Ngo, has several of these videos posted on his Twitter account.  In one such video, a family with several small children is swarmed and harassed by an Antifa/BLM mob.  The family is thoroughly in fear and quickly vacates the area.  One of the children is heard saying, "Just ignore them."  No police were evident.

"In another incident, Antifa attacked Trump-supporters dining outside their hotel.  Again, there was no law enforcement presence.  Fireworks popped, and the sound of breaking glass can be heard." . . .

We are a country of people who have chosen to live in peace, forged by a violent past of revolution and a civil war.  Violence is wicked; very few seek it; an overwhelmingly majority decry and avoid it.  The primary function of government is to protect the citizenry from it, and quell any form of it.  The unchecked rampage of destruction and violence perpetrated by Antifa/BLM mobs over much of the past six months has irrefutably proven governmental disdain for peace in many areas of our country.  Saturday night on the streets of Washington, the vacuum of protection of the people was quickly filled.

CNN's Brian Stelter Goes 'Pants on Fire' in Describing Attacks on MAGA Marchers, Gets Dunked Into Next Week

RedState  "Remember in the weeks prior to the presidential election when journalists and other media figures like CNN’s Brian Stelter fretted, without evidence, about the possibility of “right-wing violence” in the event Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden won the election?

"Though the winner of this race won’t be certified until after all votes are counted, various recounts are done, and the Trump campaign’s legal challenges are sorted out in the courts, the media has declared Joe Biden the winner.

"In response to that, the “Million MAGA March” took place in Washington, D.C. over the weekend, where “tens of thousands” of Trump supporters took to the streets to express their support for President Trump and to “Stop the Steal.”

"Despite Media World’s dire warnings about how conservatives might allegedly wreak havoc and destroy entire city blocks if they were unhappy with how Election Day went, the conservatives who marched at the rally were peaceful and committed to two things: Showing Trump he still had a lot of support and letting the media know that it’s the people, and not them, who decide who wins elections.

"Unfortunately, things did get heated and violence did take place during the rally – but it wasn’t because conservatives morphed into Antifa/BLM radicals. It’s because Antifa/BLM radicals decided to make their appearances known in the types of disgusting and destructive ways we’ve seen them use to terrorize people and communities over the last several months alone." 

"My RedState colleague Nick Arama documented numerous instances of these militant far-leftists assaulting and harassing Trump supporters over the weekend, including senior citizens and families who were just walking down the sidewalk to go to dinner and not bothering anyone." . . .

French President Emanuel Macron Slams U.S. Mainstream Media: ‘Legitimizing’ Violence

. . . "I tell you very clearly tonight my dear fellow citizens, the Republic will not erase any trace or name from its history,” Macron continued. “It will not forget any of its deeds or take down any statue. What we need to do is to look all together with lucidity on all of our history and all our memory." . . .

"French President Emanuel Macron slammed the U.S. mainstream media in an interview with The New York Times for “legitimizing” violence, saying that it was a sign that the nation’s “founding principles have been lost.”

"Macron’s interview comes after France was rocked multiple times last month with Islamic terrorist attacks that started with a teacher who was beheaded for showing cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammed.

"“When France was attacked five years ago, every nation in the world supported us,” Macron said, referring to the November 2015 Islamic terrorist attacks that resulted in the deaths of well over 100 people in Paris. “So when I see, in that context, several newspapers which I believe are from countries that share our values — journalists who write in a country that is the heir to the Enlightenment and the French Revolution — when I see them legitimizing this violence, and saying that the heart of the problem is that France is racist and Islamophobic, then I say the founding principles have been lost.' ” . . .
