Biden and Iran; such a lovely matchup

Joe Biden Meme Gallery - Politically Incorrect Humor

 If, Indeed, It Was Biden’s Decision, He’s Back to Appeasing Iran  "Democrats have a long record of appeasing bad guys in hopes, they say, of making things better. That rarely works anywhere. 

"But no one ever accused America’s Democrats of giving up a bad idea because it failed. Do it some more and maybe things will improve. That’s how we got those long decades of well-intentioned welfare that trained folks to rely on the federal government, not themselves. . . . More...

Team Biden caves on Iran — and gets nothing in return  "Even before the “indirect” US-Iran talks in Vienna had finished up, Team Biden caved, with the State Department saying it’s ready to lift sanctions on the rogue regime to rejoin the nuclear deal — giving away all leverage without getting a thing in return.

"Spokesman Ned Price said Washington is “prepared” to lift all sanctions “that are inconsistent with” the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. He wouldn’t offer details: “I am not in a position here to give you chapter and verse on what those might be.”

"And Price refused in repeated questioning to rule out even dropping separate sanctions put on Tehran for its terrorism, human-rights violations and ballistic-missile program.

"That cave came after just two days of indirect talks — with reps from China, Russia, Germany, France and Britain as intermediaries — that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani crowed were already a “success.” . . .More...

Jim Crow is busy, busy, busy

 Don Surber

"When Democrats took charge of the South after Reconstruction, they made racial discrimination the law of their part of the land. They passed Jim Crow laws to keep the black man down. 

"Jim Crow died in 1964. LBJ killed him with the help of 27 of the 33 Republican senators who voted to end a filibuster by 22 Democrat senators from the South and Bob Byrd.

"30 years after passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 -- after the last white supremacist died -- Republicans began the long slog to political dominance. The South prospered.

"Unable to win an election on merit in the South, Democrats used the covid 19 crisis to replace the ballot box with the mailbox and stole Georgia's election.

"Republicans got smart and reformed the election law. 

"Democrats denounced it as JIM CROW because somehow black people who have a photo ID to drive a car, buy a beer, or get a pack of smokes do not have such identification when it comes to voting." . . .

A Self-Loathing Ruling Class Cannot Endure

 Conrad Black; American Greatness

The U.S. now has an official regime of lies, supported by an almost worthlessly dishonest media, and scores of millions of Americans brainwashed into the false view that they live in an evil country. 

. . . "There was from the start the terrible problem of slavery, which belied the assertion that “all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.” The Civil War was conducted in the North to preserve the Union, and only the immense political dexterity of Abraham Lincoln achieved the approval of the emancipation of the slaves as a war aim, in part to stir unrest within the Confederacy.

"Segregation continued to be enforced with an iron fist in the South and not infrequently in parts of the North as well, for over a century. The South was completely defeated but had received credit for 60 percent of the slave population in establishing their congressional and Electoral College representations before the war and henceforth received 100 percent credit for the African Americans who, though nominally emancipated, still could not vote in the South.

"When Franklin D. Roosevelt was hassling Winston Churchill in the midst of World War II about granting independence to India and suggesting texts from the founding of America as models to use, Churchill was well within his rights in saying to his entourage (although, unfortunately, he did not say it to Roosevelt) that he would take his solicitude for the vast masses of India more seriously if he could pass an anti-lynching law in his own Congress." . . .  

Here’s a Modest Proposal for Handling Biden’s Nominees

 Here’s a Modest Proposal for Handling Biden’s Nominees

Senate Republicans should adopt their own Duckworth-Hir[o]no rule to show Joe Biden that white Protestants should still be able to participate in the government. 

"You may have missed it in the tumult of the news cycle, but just last week, we were treated to a masterclass in statesmanship by Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), who announced a new rule: Hereafter, she will oppose all of Joe Biden’s nominees who are not LGBTQ or minorities.

“ 'I will vote for racial minorities and I will vote for LGBTQ, but anybody else I’m not voting for,” the Democratic Demosthenes told an eager audience of reporters. She was soon joined in her effort by the Solon of the Senate, Maize Hirono (D-Hawaii), whose intelligence, wisdom, and integrity are often remarked upon by Capitol observers.

"I believe that enacting a GOP version of the new Duckworth-Hirono rule, which drew praise from many in the media and was obviously effective in getting both attention and political concessions from Biden, will make Republicans more popular with the press, which is always interested in equal treatment of both parties.

"After all, within hours of Duckworth’s announcement, Biden—shamed at having his obvious racism against Asian Americans exposed—announced he would appoint a senior Asian American White House liaison to make sure that this group would no longer suffer from only moderate over-representation in Biden’s cabinet-level appointments. As a result, Duckworth and Hirono agreed to suspend their rule—for now. Mission accomplished!" . . .

Coronavirus has peaked -

  American Thinker  "The number of Coronavirus (CV) cases in the U.S. has decreased significantly, but instead the focus has been on the number of masks to wear and that we’re in the middle of a “dark winter.”

"The current seven-day average of cases is down by 75% from the high, and is now at the same level as in mid-October:

President Biden, vaccines, and Independence Day - American Thinker  . . . "Thanks to President Biden, this year we can go out into our own backyards and celebrate the Fourth of July with a handful of family, friends or neighbors this year…if we have been duly vaccinated.

"That should make anyone reflect on our freedoms, how they were obtained, and where they come from.

"Anyway, I hope you have a happy Independence Day! Just remember: sparklers are dangerous, keep at least six feet away from anyone else, wear a mask (or two), and make sure to ask everyone if they’ve been vaccinated before allowing them to gather with you!

"Here’s to the land of the free and the home of the brave!"
