Fear Democrats who can rule over us

Amendment I: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

DAVID MARCUS: Stanford Law's hissing, vengeful, snot-nosed students will one day be judging YOU | Daily Mail Online 

"America's Red Guard has a chilling new catch phrase: 'Counter speech.'

"It's a dizzying manipulation of logic that would have made George Orwell kick himself and ask: 'Why didn't I think of that?'

"Formerly known as heckling, 'counter speech' is essentially yelling that drowns out anyone that you disagree with. And so, our nation's snot-nosed cultural revolutionaries have put 'counter speech' to good work in our terrifying new age of intolerance.

"The spoiled brats at Stanford University Law School are leading the charge.

"They have fully embraced this society-slaughtering insanity as they continue to bathe themselves in disgrace following their shameful treatment of a federal judge who dared to accept an invitation to campus last week.

"We witnessed a classroom of hissing jackals, goaded on by the school's Dean of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, refusing to allow Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Kyle Duncan to speak.

"The inaptly named Stanford chapter of the American Constitution Society claimed that vicious and vulgar abuse hurled at Duncan was his own fault, writing that he was painted 'as a victim, when in fact he himself had made civil dialogue impossible.'

"And what was the sin that Duncan was being castigated for? What had he done to deserve all this?

"He had refused to use trans pronouns from the bench. That's it. That's really all it takes these days.". . .


 Biden DOJ Crusade to Jail Young Man for Anti-Hillary Memes Just Got Much Uglier - Revolver News  "Last month, Revolver profiled the Biden Administration’s persecution of former Twitter anon Doug Mackey, who was a famous pro-Trump voice back in 2016 under the moniker of Ricky Vaughn.

"For those whose memory is foggy, a quick review: In the late stages of the 2016 race, Mackey posted several memes, designed to resemble Hillary Clinton campaign images, claiming that supporters could vote by simply texting a phone number.". . .

But everything moves faster in the digital age. Just five months later, the Biden Department of Justice is using the logic of “stochastic terrorism” to justify stripping core constitutional due process rights from dissident American voices. 

 Freedom of Speech - Origins, First Amendment & Limits - HISTORY  

When Isn’t Speech Protected?

Obscene material such as child pornography

 Plagiarism of copyrighted material Defamation (libel and slander) 

True threats 

Speech inciting illegal actions or soliciting others to commit crimes aren’t protected under the First Amendment, either. 

The Supreme Court decided a series of cases in 1919 that helped to define the limitations of free speech. Congress passed the Espionage Act of 1917, shortly after the United States entered into World War I. The law prohibited interference in military operations or recruitment. 

Socialist Party activist Charles Schenck was arrested under the Espionage Act after he distributed fliers urging young men to dodge the draft. The Supreme Court upheld his conviction by creating the “clear and present danger” standard, explaining when the government is allowed to limit free speech. In this case, they viewed draft resistant as dangerous to national security. . .

Los Angeles DA George Gascon offering free shuttle service so staff can get to work safely

 NY Post   "The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office began a program this week to shuttle employees between their cars and workplaces in downtown Los Angeles amid a series of incidents in which some have been confronted by the public, officials said Thursday. 

"On Monday, the DA’s office launched the Employee Secure Transport and Escort Program (E-STEP) in an effort to provide free secure transportation for employees assigned to the Civic Center area. 

"“Security incidents involving aggressive confrontations initiated by members of the public have occurred to our employees assigned in the Civic Center area, while walking between their vehicles or transportation area and the office,” a news release announcing the program said. ". . .

Tucker Carlson Gets Real About His Regrets in Media, and You Need to Hear It

 RedState

Do you want to know why Carlson is so popular? That line right there explains it all. It’s easy to go with the flow and stick to the script. He has the highest-rated show in cable news because he threw those shackles off. It’s that simple, and it’s why the Joy Reids and Chris Wallaces of the world will never be competition.

"There are a lot of figures populating the news media space in 2023, but Fox News’ Tucker Carlson routinely finds himself above the fray. That’s not just because he has a top-rated show, but because he obviously doesn’t formulate his positions based on how popular they will be.

"Carlson has taken a lot of flack over the years for not toeing the line, and that includes a lot of incoming fire from the conservative commentariat. His opinions on the conflict between Ukraine and Russia have earned him scorn from some Republicans, and his views on the COVID-19 vaccine were contentious. Carlson’s more recent exposure of footage from January 6th also resulted in gnashing of teeth among GOP politicians.

"But whether you agree with him or not on a given issue, I think you have respect that he’s his own person. He’s not just blindly reading party talking points like some others on his network are so obviously doing (you can guess who I’m talking about).

"That’s what made the podcast appearance by Carlson that I’m about to share with you so interesting. In it, he gets honest about his regrets in a way so many others would never dream of doing. In my opinion, it’s a must watch for anyone who follows politics.". . .

Wonder why most of the media aren't trusted?

More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money — either personally or through companies or groups — to the Clinton Foundation. It’s an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.  CNBC


  Wonder why most of the media aren't trusted? - American Thinker 
" Because most of the media continues to show how much they are in the tank for Joe Biden.  This week, Republicans have shown millions of dollars in transfers to the Biden family from China, and yet it doesn't make the nightly news.

"Always remember these two big lies from Joe where he says he has never made any money from a foreign source in his life.

“I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life,” Biden said, pointing to 22 years of tax returns he has made public as proof.

Biden has long maintained he never discussed business with his son, other than telling him, “I hope you know what you’re doing.” Emails reportedly found on the laptop and other subsequent developments have cast new doubts on that claim, though

"Hunter gets paid millions from a corrupt company in Ukraine for a no-show job and the media and other Democrats didn't care. 

"Joe bragged about blackmailing Ukraine with a billion dollars in taxpayer money if they didn't fire a prosecutor investigating the company that paid Hunter millions -- and the media and other Democrats didn't care.

"The media and other Democrats not only didn't care about the pure corruption and kickbacks from Ukraine, but Trump was also impeached for even asking about it.". . .

US just finished dead last among 46 countries in media trust — here’s why | The Hill   "The U.S. media is the least trustworthy in the world, according to a comprehensive new Reuters Institute survey encompassing 46 countries. 

"Yes, you read that right. The country with among the most resources in this arena

– human, technical and otherwise – finished dead last. Finland ranked the highest, with a 65 percent trust rating. In Kenya, the trust rating clocked in at 61 percent. 

"But here in the U.S.A., the home of global media giants including the New York Times, Washington Post and CNN, we’re trusted by a whopping 29 percent of those reading and watching. 

"Is anyone really surprised? Because in looking at polls over the past few years (even pre-Donald Trump) we’ve been trending in this dubious direction for some time. ". . . 

But it wasn’t always this way. Back in 1976, in the days of anchors such as Walter Cronkite, John Chancellor, David Brinkley and Roger Mudd, nearly three-quarters of the country trusted the media, according to Gallup

Fast forward to 2021, and the likes of Chris Cuomo, Jim A
costa,
 Brian Williams and Yamiche Alcindor are given the same prestigious titles of anchor or correspondent. 

Bidens failures

 "Biden’s presidency has been a failure. He’s the tottering, corrupt, intellectually bankrupt face of a radical, broken regime." Jarrett Stepman
tepman


  • Biden said that the border crisis didn’t begin “overnight.” Actually, it pretty much did begin overnight—the moment he took office.
  • The average American family has lost $7,100 in purchasing power under Biden due to inflation and high-interest rates.
  • Biden and his administration frequently took opportunities to portray half the country as evil, anti-democratic monsters.

"From COVID-19 tyranny to a foolhardy retreat from energy independence to a vicious war on parents, the 46th president has proved to be far from the healing uniter he was promised to be. 

"Though it seems many Americans have already forgotten about it, the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal remains one of the most humiliating foreign policy fiascos in American history. Even worse, following that disaster, there was no reckoning, no accountability for what happened.

"In Biden’s second year, we saw many ongoing problems, some of which have only escalated. So, to mark the second anniversary of Biden’s presidency, I’ve updated my analysis of some of his biggest failures that are affecting Americans today.". . .

Biden approval polling tracker (reuters.com)

Biden becomes most disappointing American president since World War II, poll reveals — Russia Today   . . ."In fact, other surveys have shown his approval ratings falling lower. A Grinnell College poll released last week pegged voter approval of the president at 37%, while Quinnipiac University earlier this month said 38% of voters approve of Biden’s performance.

"J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co., which conducted the Grinnell poll, said Independent voters favored Biden by a 54%-41% margin in the 2020 election. If the vote were held again today, Trump would win the Independent vote by a 45%-28% margin. “It’s a massive shift in a demographic that helped carry Biden to victory,” Selzer said.

"The Grinnell poll also showed that 52% of Americans believe that the US democratic system of government is under “major threat.” Again, voters were polarized, with 71% of Republicans and only 35% of Democrats saying that democracy faces a major threat."

"Biden’s woke rhetoric, chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and declining mental state leave me disappointed in the man I reluctantly supported in the 2020 election. Author and commentator Lionel Shriver joins Steven Edginton in this week’s Off Script podcast. Watch the full video [below] . . .

Get off your knees, Ms. Barrymore - American Thinker

I have always appreciated that she was never overtly political — that is, until I recently viewed a segment from her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show.  What I witnessed offended and shocked me to my core.

. . ."I have two daughters whom I am raising to be confident and strong in their character, and Ms. Barrymore is telling them that their lives as girls don't matter by promoting this farcical man.  She is enabling a movement that paints women as ridiculous, self-absorbed ditzes whose worth lies only in what they wear and how well they put on make-up.ylan Mulvaney doesn't need sympathy or validation; he needs to be told he is a man and that he is hurting young girls by degrading and demeaning them.  He has no clue what it is like to be a girl or a woman.  He doesn't know what it is like to get a period, or have a baby, or go through menopause.  He doesn't know what it feels like to nurse a baby and have cracked nipples and be so exhausted that you want to drop, but you keep pushing through the day because your kids need you.

Women and girls are under attack.  The rights we have fought for are being eradicated by men who are thieves.  They have stolen our sports and our private spaces, and now they want to eradicate us by becoming cheap grotesque imitations of us.  Many women are afraid to speak out and stand up for their rights because these men in dresses threaten and dox them.  Our government, public institutions, and corporations have sided with these twisted men.  Now we have one of the most famous and successful women in the world kowtowing to them.

As a society, we have to stop letting these insane, perverse men destroy our daughters, mothers, sisters, and friends.  Women are not a costume, and we are not a joke.  Talk about toxic masculinity...

Assistant Secretary for Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Rachel Levine promised that medically changing kids’ genders will soon be normalized.
