Babylon Bee Satire by Dr. Rich Swier  "With midterm elections fast approaching, Democrats are rushing to pass key elements of their legislative agenda before they’re voted out of office in November. To serve that goal, Democrats proudly unveiled the “Raise Gas Prices Even Higher And Make More Kids Trans” bill on the steps of the Capitol this morning.

"“We are very proud of this bill, as it shows the American people that their priorities match our priorities, which are to raise gas prices to at least $15 per gallon and make all the kids change their genders with puberty blockers and surgery,” said Senator Chuck Schumer. “This is what the American people want. These are the issues families sitting at the kitchen table every night are concerned about. This is why we were sent here. Let’s get it done!”

"A few Democrats objected to the bill, insisting that $100 billion more for Ukraine, tax increases, and more booster shots also be added to the legislation.

"“If we don’t pass this bill, democracy will be destroyed forever,” warned Schumer. “Also, please donate to my reelection campaign at my website.”

"At publishing time, AOC proposed additional amendments to add 32 Supreme Court Justices and make Ted Cruz illegal."

Far-Left CNN Political Hack Brian Stelter’s June Ratings NOSEDIVE Into Oblivion

. . ."What’s equally fascinating – and almost as enjoyable – is the fact that as bad as CNN’s ratings were for that Saturday in June, MSNBC’s were even worse:

“CNN still beat MSNBC on the 18th however, as the latter network only brought in 55,000 total viewers in the demo. Alex Witt Reports was the lowest rated show for the day in the demo bringing in only 43,000 viewers.

CNN programming too saw some lows as Reliable Sources notched its lowest-rated month since June of 2001, bringing in 79,000 demo viewers and 585,000 average total viewers.”

. . ." All CNN would need to do is to regain some levels of journalistic integrity. Report the news as it is, not as how you wished it to be. If you’re going to have opinion-based programming, call it out for what it is. Don’t try to blow smoke up our rectums. And have some balance. The echo chamber you’ve created isn’t only hurting your network financially, it’s also wreaking havoc on the Democratic Party you adore so much. You’re not doing Democrats any favors by having clowns like Stelter and Alisyn Camerota nodding their heads and telling them how great they are while the country collapses.". . .Jordan Case

CNN Ratings Worsen Despite New Leadership

After SCOTUS Abortion Decision, CNN’s Ana Navarro Pushes Eugenics  "Ana Navarro, a pseudo “GOP strategist” and a CNN commentator shocked the news channel’s audiences on Friday when she said that she supports abortion to kill off autistic and mentally challenged people like her own family. In other words, she supports eugenics.

"Navarro’s words sounded like those of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. Sanger created the organization to practice eugenics–a sick belief that the human “gene pool” would be improved through selective breeding and sterilization. In Sanger’s case, improving the gene pool meant keeping African-Americans, morons, those with a family background with a history of illnesses, mental disease (like Ana?)  serious physical defects.[ and other undesirables from reproducing.". . .

Kellyanne Conway said former President Donald Trump should drop his son-in-law Jared Kushner if he runs for president again in 2024

 UK Daily Mail

"Kellyanne Conway said former President Donald Trump should drop his son-in-law Jared Kushner if he runs for president again in 2024. 

"In an interview published Wednesday with The Washington Times, Conway said Kushner was trying to 'wash his hands' of responsibility for the 2020 election loss, while earning billions through his ties to the ex-president.  

" 'There's nobody who's profited more handsomely from Donald Trump's presidency than Jared Kushner,' Conway said. 

"Conway, who ran Trump's successful 2016 campaign, mocked reports that Kushner was 'done' with politics adding, 'That's a convenient way of saying, "Don't hold me accountable for all the authority I gave myself."' 

" 'It's become incredibly convenient for Jared to not be given responsibility for that 2020 debacle of a campaign, to not take responsibility for, frankly, not being there for his father-in-law now the way that he insisted on being there for five straight years until things didn't really work out,' Conway told the newspaper. 

" 'Jared should not work in the White House,' she added. ". . .

Ex DHS head Jeh Johnson ‘concerned’ J6 committee ‘overreached’ with unprovable Hutchinson testimony

BPR  "Jeh Johnson, a lawyer who was the Homeland Security secretary in the Obama administration, has expressed doubts about the way the partisan January 6 committee presented the “vivid” testimony of ex-White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson. 

"To much corporate media fanfare, Hutchinson luridly claimed that President Trump had attempted to grab the steering wheel from the driver as Secret Service escorted him from the January 6, 2021, rally back to the White House, and that he lunged at an agent.

"During the standard anti-Trump roundtable on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Johnson — who is otherwise a big fan of the investigation into what he described as an event that met the definition of  “insurrection” — implied that the committee itself may have metaphorically lunged.

"“I’m concerned as the former federal prosecutor in me — that gets you a lot of cred these days on television — I’m concerned that the committee may have overreached on the incident in the vehicle,” he said in the video clip embedded above.

"“It was colorful; it was vivid, it was collateral to the central charge, and it was second-hand hearsay,” he added, in that Hutchinson did not personally witness the things she told the committee.

"History has shown that many of these “bombshells” that make Trump look bad often fall apart within the next news cycle or two, although the reputational damage is often already done.

"Hearsay evidence is usually excluded from any court trial, which in this instance, is probably a major disappointment for Rep. Liz Cheney and others participating in this politicized vendetta who are anxious to set the stage for criminal charges against the former POTUS.". . .

After string of Supreme Court setbacks, Democrats wonder whether Biden White House is capable of urgency moment demands

only took two years to figure this out.

CNN; so this has to be true!  "Debra Messing was fed up. The former "Will & Grace" star was among dozens of celebrity Democratic supporters and activists who joined a call with White House aides last Monday to discuss the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

"The mood was fatalistic, according to three people on the call, which was also co-organized by the advocacy group Build Back Better Together.

"Messing said she'd gotten Joe Biden elected and wanted to know why she was being asked to do anything at all, yelling that there didn't even seem a point to voting. Others wondered why the call was happening.

"That afternoon, participants received a follow-up email with a list of basic talking points and suggestions of Biden speech clips to share on TikTok.

"The call, three days after the decision eliminating federal abortion rights, encapsulates the overwhelming sense of frustration among Democrats with Biden. It offers a new window into what many in the President's party describe as a mismanagement permeating the White House.

"Top Democrats complain the President isn't acting with -- or perhaps is even capable of -- the urgency the moment demands.

" 'Rudderless, aimless and hopeless" is how one member of Congress described the White House.

"Two dozen leading Democratic politicians and operatives, as well as several within the West Wing, tell CNN they feel this goes deeper than questions of ideology and posture. Instead, they say, it gets to questions of basic management.". . .

How Did Yellen and Powell Get Inflation So Wrong?

How Did Yellen and Powell Get Inflation So Wrong? - The Atlantic

Yes, the stimulus was too big. But that’s not the main reason prices are through the roof.

. . ."That she was. In March 2021, when inflation hawks were arguing that the Biden administration’s $1.9 trillion stimulus plan was going to overheat the economy, Yellen called the risk of inflation “small” and “manageable,” and a couple of months later said, “I don’t anticipate that inflation is going to be a problem.” She wasn’t alone. For much of 2021, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that he thought inflation would be “transitory,” and even as inflation rose above 6 percent, the Fed kept interest rates near zero. (Its first interest-rate hike was not until March 2022.)

"Along the way, that thing Yellen thought was not going to be a problem became a huge one—not least, politically. Indeed, with today’s news that inflation in May was 8.6 percent (previously at 8.3 percent), it is arguably the biggest problem that the Biden administration faces—high prices are overshadowing pretty much everything else about the U.S. economy. The unemployment rate is a mere 3.6 percent, and last week, the Labor Department announced that the U.S. had added another 390,000 jobs in May. But all anyone wants to talk about is that average gas prices are now nearing $5 a gallon.

"Yellen and Powell have, predictably, faced a barrage of criticism over their failure to keep inflation under control. When Yellen testified before Congress

Andrea Widberg

I'm in mourning due to the attack on people with uteruses in the US. Federally guaranteed access to abortion is gone.

Vivendi and Universal Music Group must stop donating to anti-abortion, anti-queer and anti-trans politicians. Politicians like Marsha Blackburn, Ken Buck, Victoria Spartz, etc. Or expect more unproductive days.

Yours in fury, 

. . ."In other words, Lopez, a San Diego State U graduate, thought he was still in college, where students (with government backing) are writing the checks and the institution is happy to coddle them, especially because the students are parroting academia's views.  Lopez hadn't made the intellectual transition that would allow him to understand he was in the working world, where his employer was writing a check and wanted Lopez's labor in exchange for that money, a concept Lopez found offensive.

"It's to be hoped that more companies recognize that the tide is turning against people like Lopez, who live on an emotional diet of anger and victimhood.  They're awful people to be around and lousy employees.  But perhaps, if they get the message that the grown-up world has different rules, they'll finally start to change.". . .

Mitt Romney: Master troll

 Question for Utah: seriously?  Is this the best you've got?

John Green  . . ."To be clear, we are snickering, but not at threats to our democracy, which we find to be deadly serious business.  We're snickering at the predictable crowd of Trump-haters, saying they've really got him this time, only to produce no evidence — again.  When Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Adam Schiff, and Nancy Pelosi make such an effort to beclown themselves, it would be impolite to not snicker at least a little bit.

In reviewing Mitt's article, I was to the point of exasperation, wondering how even an unprincipled fool could be so clueless.  And then Mitt gave away the joke:

Joe Biden is a genuinely good man, but he has yet been unable to break through our national malady of denial, deceit, and distrust.

" He called the guy that invented Borking, tried to cancel freedom of speech, targeted parents as terrorists, threatened states that sought to protect children from sexual grooming, and tacitly condoned an assassination attempt on a Supreme Court justice "a genuinely good man."  The Romney piece was a satire!  It had to be.  Nobody could be that stupid otherwise.  Could he?  Well done, Mitt, you clever but unprincipled bastard!  You got me, but I'll still never vote for you."

Red-Pilled YouTuber Talks Leaving the Left and Exposes an Interesting Fact About Political Division

Being young in America and separating yourself from the left actually takes some bravery.

 RedState  "Misha Petrov, a young woman, uploaded a video in June to her YouTube page that would garner quite a bit of attention and elicit a ton of responses, most of them absolutely in agreement with her.

"The video centered around how Petrov had considered herself a Democrat like most people her age. She was neck-deep in leftism, especially in her university where radical leftist politics was being shoved down her throat at all times, even in classes that had nothing to do with socio-political matters. She couldn’t get through a math class without it being woke.

"Soon, Petrov found herself unable to continue identifying with the left and as her video states, she left it. This includes her university which had sunk so far into wokeness that it stopped being a place of learning.". . .
