(An Honorable) Kennedy’s Examination Of This Biden Judicial Nominee Makes Us Sad

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) questioned a judicial nominee at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday;

Below: "Thomas can’t even cite the case law providing for them. A sane Senate Judiciary Committee would toss her with extreme prejudice from the pile of nominees. She’s clearly unqualified."

. . ."The questions she’s asked aren’t complicated. They’re simple. They’re the kind of questions any intelligent human being should be able to have a ready answer for.

"And Holly Thomas is thoroughly incapable of answering them.

"If you’re the Chinese Politburo member looking at America as a potential adversary, what does this do to/for your thinking about that future conflict? Would you be encouraged or discouraged from advocating hostile action toward a country where the Holly Thomases of the world are embedded in its leadership class?

"Holly Thomas has been a woke leftist advocate her entire career. But Kennedy asking her if the Los Angeles County Superior Court is systemically racist short-circuits her completely. If she says it isn’t, despite the fact that court routinely hands out jail sentences disproportionately to black and Hispanic defendants (because black and Hispanic people in Los Angeles County make up a grossly disproportionate share of the criminals there), then she puts herself in jeopardy of being seen as a traitor to the leftist cause. What’s more, such an answer will do damage to further efforts at making a more woke judiciary in L.A. County, efforts about which she’s clearly enthusiastic." . . .

You Are Passionately Committed To A Particular Vision of Law': Cruz Grills Biden Judicial Nominee

UPDATED: If you think "Lets go Brandon" was a mistake, remember this was NBC, home of Joy Reid, Ali Velshi, Nicolle Wallace, to name a few.

 

NBC Reporter Stays Silent as World Mocks Obvious Coverup of ‘F*ck Joe Biden’ Chant  If you believe she "mistook" that chant, perhaps, as Senator Kennedy once said, "you probably think that stripper really liked you". Remember this was NBC; the channel employing Joy ("She was Air Force, trained to kill!") Reid, Ali Velshi and so many more.

How 'Let's go Brandon' became an anti-Biden conservative heckle

..."The perceived media filter has also been a key component for the popularity of the Brandon meme. Some conservatives view Ms Stavast's attribution of the Biden chant as yet another example of the media covering up for and protecting Biden by downplaying what they view as the depth of the president's unpopularity."...

Wallace and her peers

UPDATE:MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace suffers ratings implosion  . . ."It was only a matter of time before lousy ratings caught up to cable news’ patron saint of mediocrity. Wallace’s particularly bland and ignorant brand of analysis and unrelenting cheerleading for the Democratic Party may have served its purpose when the Republican Party held the White House and the U.S. Senate, but now? Who needs analysis from a know-nothing, washed-up GOP operative? Very few people, apparently.

"The collapse couldn’t have happened to a more deserving anchor. She tied her success directly to Trump, and now she is living with the consequences of having centered her program entirely around opposing the former president. And make no mistake, few on cable television opposed Trump in a more laughable, ludicrous, and audacious manner than Wallace.". . . 

Superman colorist quits over comic's embrace of wokness: 'Tired of this s***'

Fox News  "A colorist involved in creating the Superman comic says he is quitting his position in response to the "wokeness" that has permeated the franchise.  

 " 'I’m finishing out my contract with DC. I’m tired of this s***, I’m tired of them ruining these characters; they don’t have a right to do this," Superman: Son of Kal-El colorist Gabe Eltaeb said during a recent podcast, according to Bounding Into Comics.

" 'What really pissed me off was saying truth, justice, and a better world," Eltaeb added. "F*** that it was Truth, Justice, and the American way," he said. "My Grandpa almost died in World War II; we don’t have a right to destroy s**t that people died for to give us. It’s a bunch of f****** nonsense."

"DC Comics, the longtime publisher of Superman comics, recently announced that Superman’s new slogan no longer states that the hero is fighting for "truth, justice, and the American way" but now stands for "truth, justice and a better tomorrow." . . .

Moderate Democrats all but extinct

 Michael Goodwin

"The Wall Street Journal wrote Tuesday that President Biden was making another attempt to salvage his stalled legislative agenda by meeting separately with progressive and moderate Democrats.  

"The next sentence was more telling: The moderates were Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.). The progressives were too numerous to mention.

"If you get the impression there are only two senators holding back the great flood of government waste known variously as “Build Back Better and the “human-infrastructure” package, you’ve got the whole story — as told by the Washington press corps.

"For my money, the much more interesting angle, and far more important to the future of America, is what’s going on with the other 48 Senate Dems. All apparently are on board with the most expensive piece of legislation in history and are happy to be called progressives. 

"The legislation in question was crafted by Sen. Bernie Sanders, and he says the current price of $3.5 trillion is “the minimum” and “already a compromise.” Much of the bill remains a secret and some parts are still being written. 

"Yet the 48 already have said yes. Talk about a blank check."...

If You Can’t Tell A Man From A Woman, You’re Not A Health Official, You’re A Health Threat

America and her culture surely are now the laughing stock of this planet and that has to include the tens of millions of the voters who choose this administration. We have seen already how little respect our main adversary, China, has for us. Even if our next President is a courageous, respected individual, the world knows the character of our media, culture and this electorate cannot be taken seriously. TD

 The Federalist

"The left became impossible to parody somewhere in between “believe all women” and peak trans. The guys at The Babylon Bee are going to have to quit soon, if not because they cannot get any more bizarre than the left then because it seems like the left is using their headlines as an instruction manual.

"Here is what I am reacting to, and it is not made up. It is real. 

"Not only did Joe Biden appoint a man who claims he’s a woman, and whose poor public health decisions led to thousands of unnecessary COVID deaths, as assistant secretary for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Biden has now made that man a four-star admiral and proclaimed we should all cheer at his administration appointing the “first” “female” “four-star officer.” I repeat, this is not a joke.

"This official, Rachel Levine, has zero military experience. He’s as much a soldier as I am (although I am 100 percent more female than he is).

"Here is the U.S. “surgeon general” saying “her [sic] service will undoubtedly advance the
@usphscc [U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps] mission to protect, promote, and advance the health and safety of our nation.' ” . . .  OCTOBER 20, 2021 By Joy Pullmann

Everything is a mess, but at least we have a transgender admiral  

. . ."I am delighted to read that the Biden administration is committed to diversity, inclusion, and equity.  Just remember that the next time you fill up your tank, go out to dinner, go shopping for groceries, or read about the border.

Still wonder why our adversaries around the world hold this nation in contempt? Read on:

State Department puts virtue-signaling ahead of diplomacy with 'International Pronouns Day' tweet   . . ."Knowing someone who uses these pronouns does not indicate acceptance.  People can think the practice is stupid or dysfunctional but still know people who use them.

"Perhaps the most useful paragraph is the one in which it explains the mystery of what are called the Alphabet people: LGBT...etc.:

(LGBTQI+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex people, with the "+" signifying all the gender identities and sexual orientations that are not specifically covered by the other initials.)

"Keep in mind that this is almost certain to be revised and expanded."...

Meanwhile Obama still uses "I, Me, Mine".
