Remember when Newt Gingrich's Soros remarks got him shut down by Fox's Harris Faulkner?
100%FedUp "The last time we reported about Newt Gingrich being on Fox News, he was being silenced by the leadership and hosts at Fox News." . . ."Why?"
Who’s Really Running the Show at the White House? We Now Have a Name.
This article was originally published by Pjmedia.com.
"The two things I enjoy reading the most are report cards for either of my boys with straight-As, or a Democrat-friendly puff-piece in a major publication gone horribly wrong.
"Since report cards aren’t due for another three weeks, I guess we’ll just have to make do today with Sarah Baxter’s clueless revelation that Joe Biden isn’t up to the job of being president — and that he’s basically turned the job over to an appointee who didn’t even need Senate consent.
"Hell, Baxter’s Times (of London) article even puts “President Klain” right up top in the headline.
“ 'President… WHO?” I hear you ask.". . .
. . . "For a taste of the friendly tone, look no further than Baxter’s lede:
The name’s Klain — President Klain. Washington insiders delight in assigning the White House chief of staff this mischievous title as the driving force behind the actual president, Joe Biden. The man himself, Ron Klain, would never describe himself this way, but his firm grip on the levers of government has enabled the 78-year-old president to cruise through his first 100 days in office without breaking sweat.
Biden WH Response on Paying Ransom for Pipeline Attack Is More Than a Little Concerning
. . . "But gas prices are just part of what’s sparking concerns about inflation and comparisons to Jimmy Carter and the 1970s. As we noted, Donald Trump, Jr, expressly noted the comparison. It’s starting to look more and more apt.
"So when the Biden regime was asked about the attack, you would think that they would have a strong response. But nope, it’s Jimmy Carter once again. This is possibly the worst government response I have ever heard to such a significant federal crime.
"Let’s listen to Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technology Anne Neuberger explain that whether or not Colonial Pipeline pays ransom to these attackers is a “private sector decision” when a reporter asks what they are going to do about it and what’s the timeline for this problem being addressed." . . .
Biden Is the New Carter, and We Now Have the Gas Lines to Prove It
For those of you who want to be "woke"
'Woke' Celebrities Cry for Diversity, Get Their Own Ego-Boosting Golden Globes Canceled "Hollywood, which routinely scolds the country for its perceived systemic racism, will most certainly be one awards show short next year after industry titans looked around them and apparently saw nothing but a bunch of racists.
"NBC has canceled its scheduled broadcast of next year’s Golden Globe Awards amid a row over a lack of diversity inside the group that crowns the winners, while Hollywood stars and studios are also now attacking the annual exercise in “woke” back-patting." . . .
. . . "Translation: The HFPA will fall in line after becoming a victim of the leftist cancel culture it enabled. What does this all mean for the rest of us? Likely, no Golden Globes show for at least next year. That’s a win for all who tired of watching the biggest hypocrites in the country parade around annually to chastise the rest of us over how we live and vote." . . .
The ‘Woke’ FolliesApparently, the most compelling argument made by the true believers in Marxism/socialism is that the United States, based on its founding, is an irredeemable nation that must be transformed. And that irredeemability is centered on racism and a denial of a myriad of unassailable “civil rights.” The recruiting of the naïve, agnostic and ill-educated who wish to be swept up in a supposed grand crusade of promoting these manufactured rights has become comparatively effortless.
How White Leftist Politicians and Hipsters Have Already Killed Wokeness . . . "The word “woke” now represents a communist’s wish list for American policy, and there’s not a single person who can deny that the word “woke” now signifies a devotion to any or all of those political ambitions that Serrano describes. And while the word began as a countercultural sigil in the black community meant to highlight a specific and important issue, the myriad unrelated and radical policy positions that have been later assigned to the term are now being championed by Hollywood, the news media, multi-billion-dollar corporations, Big Tech, and the now-seated ruling regime in American government.
"If all of that that doesn’t serve as evidence that “wokeness” is currently occupying the space of a status quo, then I don’t know what does." . . .

‘Transwomen Are Women’ and Other Polite Lies
Such statements seem accommodating, but they come at the expense of actual women.
Daily Signal video
Abigale Shrier "Let me ask you something: Why don’t people trust their instincts?” It’s a great line, delivered by serial killer Martin Vanger (Stellan Skarsgård) to his tethered quarry, Mikael Blomqvist (Daniel Craig), in the movie version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It’s a scene I’ve never been able to shake because it crawls with that relentless electrostatic charge — truth. Vanger goes on:
You knew something was wrong, but you came back into the house. Did I force you? Did I drag you in? No. All I had to do was offer you a drink. It’s hard to believe that the fear of offending can be stronger than the fear of pain. But you know what? It is.
"This, more or less, is the predicament in which we find ourselves in 2020. Bit by bit, redefinition by redefinition, we have backed into a room that unsettles us, prodded by the fear of causing offense. In the public sphere, we’ve allowed women to become “menstruators,” or “people with vulvas,” or “bleeders” — even though we don’t really believe these are signal traits of womanhood. Even though we believe women and mothers (“birthing people,” as Harvard Medical School’s Medical Education recently referred to them) are so much more.
"Why, then, do we refer to them in this degrading way? So as not to offend those biological women who identify as something else — as “non-binary” or“transmen.” We use “birthing people” and “menstruators” to refer to women, so that transwomen don’t feel left out. There are just so many feelings to consider, so much indulgence from our bleeding, um, hearts." . . .
But in the public sphere, we must be sticklers for truth. Not out of callousness to others’ feelings, but in order to cleave to objective reality — and to protect the women’s rights that are slipping away. “Menstruators” or “bleeders” or “vulva owners” aren’t worthy of special spaces or protection. Creatures lowly as these hardly seem worthy of mention at all. (Emphasis added by TD)
Biological Male Is Top-Ranked NCAA Women’s Track Star
. . . "Telfer is one of the fastest runners in NCAA women’s track and field at any division — not just at the DII level. Telfer’s best time in the 55 meter dash is tied with the third-fastest runner at the women’s DI level. Telfer previously ran a variety of events for Franklin Pierce’s men’s team, during most of which time he went by the first name Craig,
Rep. Cori Bush Demotes Mothers to “Birthing People”
When we talk about birthing people, we're being inclusive. It's that simple.

We use gender neutral language when talking about pregnancy, because it's not just cis-gender women that can get pregnant and give birth. Reproductive freedom is for *every* body. https://t.co/9E9qKRMJTu
