J.K. Rowling Puts the Kibosh on Transgender Ideology With Language That Is Going to Set off a Firestorm – RedState   . . ."Hammer, meet nail. The transgender lobby is not some put-upon minority group. It’s a powerful, politically connected movement that seeks to force its insane theology on the rest of the world, and it should be treated as such. Words like “insidious” and “misogynistic,” which Rowling uses, are perfect descriptions.  Get ready for the backlash because what Rowling said here pulled no punches. She’s going to get hell from the mainstream media and the transgender lobby for this, and conservatives should be right there supporting her.". . . 

 Another Murder Happens Because of Soft-on-Crime Los Angeles DA (townhall.com)   Under the guise of good social medicine, liberals and leftists have poisoned the culture with the colossal lie that “whiteness” is the culprit behind a “400-year pandemic of foundational racism” that’s keeping America sick.  It’s being perpetrated by whites through “antiquated systems of oppression.”

"Whiteness, the creation of white people of European descent, they say, is a lopsided “system of privileges and advantages” that favors whites at the expense of people of color “through government policies, media portrayal, decision-making power with our corporations, schools, judicial systems, etc.”

"To cure the country, people with big mouths, big money, and big plans are wildly swinging sledge hammers at America’s load-bearing walls to destroy what they see as a “white system,” to replace it with – God knows what. ". . . 

Watch: Sunny Hostin Steps on a Shovel in Defense of Kamala Harris Over Low Approval Ratings – RedState   “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin is one of the most rabidly racist people on television and it’s really not even debatable at this point.

On any given day, she’s spouting off racist remarks such as the ones where she likened white women who vote for Republicans to roaches voting for Raid roach spray."

As I’ve said before, this is – sadly – what obsession with identity politics does to people. It turns even the most privileged among them into bitter, self-loathing human beings who are incapable of viewing anything outside the prism of race or sex or whatever. You lose sight of who people are because your sole focus is on their physical characteristics and cultural background over the sum total of the person.

Johns Hopkins Medicine staff given roadmap to navigate dozens of pronouns: ‘faerself, ve, xe"    

What does a doctor do when prescribing medication or providing nutrition guidelines to a woman who identifies as a man? Does he go with reality and prescribe/advise according to her actual biology? Or does he recommend that she eat like a man and prescribe medication based on a man's size and weight? When Johns Hopkins truthfully answers this question, it will learn how to handle the pronoun issue.

Lying Biden Falsely Claims He Re-established Alliance Trump Revived In 2017 (Video)

  The Lid

"During a press conference in Hiroshima, Japan, on Sunday, Joe Biden, the evil corrupt, lying, demented fraud occupying the White House, took credit for re-establishing an alliance that former President Trump revived in 2017.

“I doubt many people…would’ve said that two years after being elected, I’d be able to convince India, Australia, Japan, and the United States to form an organization called the Quad,” Biden told those gathered."

SHOCK: Biden told the leaders of the G7 that he convinced Australia, Japan, and India to form an organization called the Quad. Prime Minister Kishida had to remind him that Trump actually put the organization together. Oops…pic.twitter.com/YUvnowdtU0

New messages show Bidens offering 'safe harbor' to Hunter as he flails over scandalous reports

 NY Post   "In 2018, Hunter Biden’s world was collapsing.

"The New York Times had run a story on one of his shady deals with the Chinese and his father, then vice president, was pulled into the vortex.

"It appears that Hunter was in a free fall and his uncle Jim Biden reached out in newly discovered messages to offer him a “safe harbor.”

"The exchange is an insight into the train wreck of the life of the scion of one of the most powerful families in the country.

"However, it is also insight into a world of influence peddling where millions of dollars simply evaporated into the coffers of the Biden family.

"On their face, the messages seem to contradict public statements from President Biden on the foreign influence-peddling that used to fund Hunter’s drug-infused, self-destructive lifestyle.

"The Times story caused panic in the Biden family.

"Despite a largely supportive media, the Bidens have long been known for influence-peddling.

"Jim Biden has been repeatedly criticized for marketing his access to his brother in pitches to clients.". . .

From comments to this post:

 Well, the guy wasn't living the life he wanted. He was being used as a tool, for the whole KornPopppJoe Krime Famileee, to hide corrupt financial dealings & launder moolah for all of them, his Daddie, being the Primary Biggg Guy. The pressure was too much for him, in addition to his family being creepily dysfunctional...🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️

  Oh please, he was living the high life in every respect.

  Joe and Jim could have done a real intervention, but that would have interrupted the gravy train.

School official laments electric buses cost ‘5X more’ and are riddled with ‘performance issues’

 Heather Hamilton

"One Michigan school official admitted his district’s move to using electric buses was less than the government has touted it to be.

"Emile Lauzzana, the environmental sustainability director of Michigan’s fourth-largest school district, recently told the Ann Arbor Public Schools Board of Education that the district’s electric bus fleet has had “a lot of downtime and performance issues.”

“ 'It’s been a tough 2 1/2 years with this program,” Lauzzana said.

“ 'We’ve been learning a lot about this technology,” Lauzzana also said. “Electric buses are approximately five times more expensive than regular buses, and the electrical infrastructure, which was originally estimated to be only about $50,000, give or take, for those four buses ended up being more like $200,000."

"Lauzzana explained the district attempted to utilize "Vehicle to Grid" interconnection, which helps push energy back to the grid when buses are not being used, but that the “technology was not working.” . . .

That was Then: Soon This Will be Too -

  American Thinker   "Many of us feel like we’re swimming against a torrent that is rushing toward a massive waterfall. We can hear the water crashing over the edge and slamming onto the rocks below, and it’s getting louder and louder.

"We look to history for guidance and find that at first glance it’s no help at all. It merely reminds us that empires fall and usually due to the stupidity, and/or perfidy of those in charge, which is terrifyingly all too familiar. But let’s narrow that focus a little. No other nation has ever been built solely on a principle -- that each human being has an inalienable right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” It is also true that no nation in history has maintained a constitution anywhere near as long as has the United States. Ours has been functioning, more or less, as intended, for over 234 years, whereas other nation's average is just 17 years. We must have gotten something right. 

"We can also look back at our history and find times when things looked this grim, and yet, we came through, we won. What chance did we have against England back in the 18th century? We had to be nuts to think we could successfully divorce ourselves from the most powerful nation on earth at the time. We weren’t even a full-fledged country yet. We had no standing army, no organized system of taxation, very little in the way of infrastructure, and only the most rudimentary methods of communication. Our forefathers had only three things going for them: the British soldiers were 3,000 miles from home; King George III was mentally unstable; and these first Americans took God seriously -- and had since the early 1600s, and it doesn’t take much looking to see that God controls history.

"Let’s look back at the Civil War. How hopeless that had to be for everyone involved. After all, it was fought on our soil, so, like the War for Independence, the battles would be fought in people’s backyards, their schools, and churches turned into field hospitals, the soldiers billeted in their homes. Medicine had yet to catch up to weaponry, so both sides suffered more casualties than ever before at a time when surgeons were not capable of mending soldiers -- they could only saw off the injured limbs. The horror is almost unimaginable. And yet, right prevailed, the Union was saved, the slaves were freed, and the country kept on growing.". . .

Dianne Feinstein as the living embodiment of the Democrat party -

 Bookworm Room "Her decline and fall seem to match the Dem party’s trajectory over the decades. Thus, she’s a caricature, not just of herself, but of her party."

This is the lady who trashed Judge Kavanaugh?

. . ."Indeed, one of the reasons everyone I knew was a Democrat was because I lived in a Jewish world. We may not have belonged to a synagogue, but 90% of my parents’ friends were Jewish, and they knew which California party discriminated against Jews. DiFi, by the way, is genetically Jewish and, while not religious (and a graduate of the Covenant of the Sacred Heart High School), she still identifies as Jewish.

"Attractive, vibrant, intelligent DiFi was the embodiment of that Democrat party.

"Over the years, though, just as DiFi has decayed, so has the Democrat party. It’s no longer a party that represents ordinary people within the relative confines of the Constitution. Instead, it’s a Maoist organization that represents the very rich nomenklatura, the criminal class, the race hustlers, and the activist LGBTQ++ crowd. It’s rotten inside and out, broken and hideous. DiFi has come to look like what the Democrat party is. No wonder Democrats are desperate to force her to retire. She reminds Americans that the party is decrepit and oozes a fatal corruption.

"DiFi should have left politics while she still had dignity. And it’s high time that Americans leave the Democrat party. Both DiFi and the Dems are walking corpses and need to be retired.

"By the way, if you want another analogy, DiFi’s decline also symbolizes San Francisco’s collapse from a beautiful city into a scary hellhole."

Is Michelle Obama going to replace Senator Feinstein to jumpstart a presidential run? - American Thinker 

. . .You also have to consider that the Dems have few other choices; they have no bench or people that are even likable or decent.  That’s why they have to constantly point fingers at the pro-freedom right. They can pretend that they can be ‘successful’ at rerunning the 2020 playbook, but the people are sick of the COVID scam and no matter how much they try to distract, the fact is that the Biden regime has been an unmitigated disaster for the country." . . .

And as a member of the House Science Committee, during a visit to the California Institute of Technology’s Jet Propulsion Lab, she asked a NASA scientist whether the Mars Pathfinder probe had photographed the flag that astronaut Neil Armstrong left behind in 1969. Armstrong had, of course, left the flag on the moon, not on Mars. No manned spacecraft has visited Mars.". . .

George Bush, MIA

 Don Surber

"As Durham’s Report exposes the lies about RussiaGate and the truth about Obama using the FBI as his personal police unfolds, there is one silence that roars above the white noise of denial. George Walker Bush has not said a word. Not one darned word. He has been one silent lamb while the Democrat Party ran roughshod over our political institutions — weaponizing the IRS, the FBI, FISA, the media, the courts and the border.

"Hundreds of Trump’s voters were jailed over a protest at the Capitol over the counting of the votes and we have not heard his protest. Indeed, Bush has condemned these protesting patriots as threats to America. Most — if not all — of them were Bush supporters who voted for his father twice and two times for him, too.

"Never has Bush defended President Trump from the outrageous lies and unprecedented illegal spying on him as a private citizen.

"Bush was silent when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago. I want his home (as well as Biden’s, Obama’s and Clinton’s) SWATTED at 4 AM on 21 JAN 2025 by whoever the Republican president is. Let them reap the whirlwind they sowed.

"I get that President Trump was rough on Jeb! in the 2016 debates and family honor is at stake, but Clinton was meaner on his father in 1992 and George W. Bush has no problem being palsy-walsy with him. Partisan politics washes away once you become president because now you are a member of an exclusive club.

"Donald Trump earned his way in but GWB won’t allow him into the club. Trump’s blackballed — after years of Obama and his minions spying and lying on him. ". . .
