'Most Popular Ever' Joe Biden Gets Heckled and Can't Draw an Audience

"We love you, Joe!" Very much unaware of who the hecklers were and what they were saying.

RedState 

. . . "Despite the fact that Biden has bent over backwards to the left and pretty much given them everything they’ve wanted, it’s apparently still not enough. Biden was heckled by folks on the left pushing to “Stop Line 3,” referring the 1,097-mile crude oil pipeline extending from Edmonton, Alberta to Superior, Wisconsin, that Enbridge is going to replace with newer pipe. The line is already there, so basically what these folks seem to be saying is they don’t want to have it replaced/updated, which seems a pretty poor argument. But Biden has stopped the Keystone XL Pipeline, killing thousands of jobs and harming our energy position, so who knows how radical he still might go, if pressed?" . . .



 

 

Poll: Americans Think Blacks Are More Racist Than Whites…

Such a loss to us all; I meet constantly, every day, black people who are friendly, courteous and uplifting, at church and elsewhere. Yet the news shows us only scowling, angry faces on the streets and in Congress of those who stoke anger and violence among this nation. TD

 Weasel Zippers


"And yet libs claim blacks can’t be racist." The racism I fear is that of young black people who notice my white face as I approach them. If a victim of a previous mugging, or the "knock-out game" such as many Asians have been crosses the street to avoid being too close to a group of African-Americans, are they racist? Or if I am a store owner? TD

"Via Rasmussen:

Americans believe Blacks are more racist than whites, and think Hispanics and Asians are less racist.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 70% of American Adults think the term “racism” refers to any discrimination by people of one race against another. Just 16% say it refers only to discrimination by white people against minorities. Another 14% are not sure...

Texas Weighs Divestment From Ben & Jerry’s Parent Company Over Israel Boycott

 Washington Free Beacon  "Texas may divest from Ben & Jerry's parent company after the ice cream manufacturer announced it will end operations in Israeli-controlled territories, the state's head financial officer said Thursday.

" 'I've directed my staff to determine whether any specific action taken by Ben & Jerry's or Unilever would trigger a listing under Chapter 808 of the Texas Government Code," which prohibits the state's pension fund from investing in companies that refuse to operate in an "Israeli-controlled territory," State Comptroller Glenn Hegar told CNBC.

"The move follows Ben & Jerry's announcement Monday that the company will no longer sell its products in "Occupied Palestinian Territory," referring to the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The Texas statute applies to parent companies and could force the state to divest its multibillion-dollar retirement fund from Unilever, which purchased the ice cream company in 2000.

"Ben & Jerry's boycott could also force a dozen other states with similar laws, including New Jersey, Illinois, and Florida, to divest from the British conglomerate. Florida chief financial officer Jimmy Patronis, who manages his state's pension fund, said his office is evaluating the issue, according to CNBC. More than 30 states have anti-boycott laws and executive orders, including measures that could prohibit state governments from working with Unilever and Ben & Jerry's." . . .

Meet Ben & Jerry’s Board Chair: Anti-Israel Activist Has Published Defenses of  Hezbollah, Hamas  . . . "Ben & Jerry's is under increased scrutiny for its decision to join the anti-Israel boycott movement, which follows criticism over the ice cream maker's partnership with anti-Semitic figures during the Women's March in 2018. At the time, the company defended its work with Linda Sarsour, one of the march leaders who was ousted for anti-Semitism. Multiple state and local governments, including Texas and Florida, are considering sanctioning Ben & Jerry's and its parent company, Unilever, over the boycott decision.

"Mittal published an article written by Green Party Senate candidate Todd Chretien during the Israel-Lebanon war in 2006 arguing that progressives should support Hezbollah.

Kamala Harris Has No Future

 The most powerful woman in D.C. is actually the weakest.

Daniel Greenfield

. . . "The Biden administration is officially the Biden-Harris administration, Kamala has received a raft of important assignments covering everything from illegal migration to election rigging, and the man at the top was suggesting that he might just stay one term before stepping down for her.

"Before the election, Biden’s people were quoting him as saying, “I want to find a running mate I can turn things over to after four years.” Kamala isn’t that mate because Biden more recently announced, “My plan is to run for reelection.” So much for the Biden-Harris administration.

"Poll numbers show that Kamala remains unpopular and administration officials keep leaking damaging materials about her to a media that appears curiously eager to run with them." 

"The campaign is the work of Biden’s allies who have calculated that the more they weaken Kamala, the less likely their boss will face pressure to step down on her behalf. Kamala Harris went from embodying the woke cultural moment as the first black woman in the White House to recapitulating her humiliating primary race in which she raised $36 million and dropped out without even trying to compete in a single primary election while blaming racism." . . .

Thomas Barrack, a Trump ally, released on $250,000,000 bail

Fear this Democrat Party!

Andrea Widberg 

"There are so many things wrong with the story of Thomas Barrack that it's hard to know where to begin.  Briefly, Biden's DOJ charged Barrack, the man who chaired Trump's inaugural fund, with illegal lobbying for the UAE.  Then, for the 74-year-old Barrack to get out of jail, a federal magistrate imposed a $250,000,000 bail on him, along with other serious restrictions on travel.  This is a travesty of justice and a clear threat to Trump allies, past, present, and future.

"As always, the Daily Mail has a good summary:

Donald Trump's billionaire ally Thomas Barrack is being released on $250 million bond after being charged with illegally lobbying the Trump administration on behalf of the United Arab Emirates. . . .

. . . "Four: What's happening to Barrack has nothing to do with law or justice.  This represents the left's continued persecution of anybody who worked with Donald Trump.  The clear intent is to make sure that everyone gets the message that, if Trump runs again, whether he wins or loses, those who work with him will be completely destroyed — not just shunned and barred from the "right" parties, but ground into dust.

"The peaceful, constitutional transition of power in America cannot include hunting down every ally of the previous administration and destroying those people.  But if it does — if that's what the Democrats have set as the new standard — game theory says we win by doing this twice as hard (and on much better evidence) when Republicans gain power from the corrupt, feckless Democrats.". . .
