Candace Owens Stands Up To Nancy Pelosi With An EXPLOSIVE Speech
"What's most inspiring about Candace Owens is knowing her background. I used to drive through the rural Eastern North Carolina small Farms in tobacco country where she grew up. It was a shortcut for me to the interstate. Her grandparents raised her in one of these small farm houses dotting the rural countryside. Yet, encouraged by her grandfather, she applied herself in school and the rest is/will be history. Look at her now!"
Karine Jean-Pierre: I Was Picked for the Role Because I'm 'Beyond Capable'
Karine Jean-Pierre: I Was Picked for the Role Because I'm 'Beyond Capable' (townhall.com) She aimed for capable and missed it by a mile. TD
"Back in June, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spoke with theGrio on multiple occasions to promote herself as "historic" and said "I cannot fail," as "it's not an option." It looks like this lack of humility is a pattern, given that she's also "beyond capable," and that that is why President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden picked her for the job.
"The remarks in question come from a podcast recorded in March with Stacy Brown that is once more gaining attention. When discussing how she was picked for the job, Jean-Pierre offered that "they decided to put me in this position," speaking of the president and first lady. "They decided that they wanted Karine Jean-Pierre, with all of the things, all of the communities that I represent, clearly being a black person, right, being a black woman. They said, we want you to represent us, we want you to represent the White House. We want to meet this moment that we're in, and we know that you are beyond capable of doing that, right. You are--you are, uh, you are experienced, and you are the voice that we want to have."
"She then told Brown that "knowing that I am representing the voice of the president, then I have to do that, right? That's the job." In that case, then, it would appear, that the president doesn't know much of what's going on or would defer to others, given how often Jean-Pierre doesn't have answers or is referring the press to other departments. She's often blamed the Trump administration for issues, too." . . .
Liberals gloated, then reality struck
Thank Tom DeLay for Trump's mugshot - Don Surber (substack.com)
. . ."Trump has the power of a innocent man falsely accused of nonsensical crimes with serious penalties for corrupt judges to impose. Americans back him as never before. The message is clear. We either fight back together or we die alone."
"Let’s start the week off right with a nice big cuppa liberal tears. For eight years, liberals dreamed of seeing President Trump in a mugshot. They finally got their wish.
"Liberals gloated, then reality struck.
"The Hill reported, “Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) shared a video of him laughing at the mugshot photo and saying, ‘We got you, and more to come . . . Clown, thug, crook, criminal.’”
"Shortly afterward, the congressman realized the error Democrats made.
"He panicked and tweeted, 'This mugshot is not what you think it is.
“ 'It’s a jackpot for Trump who will use this image to raise MILLIONS of dollars from his cult — and the worst part is they are going to use it to win even more elections so they can change our laws to make it easier to steal our democracy.
“ 'It’s a symbol of everything that is wrong with our country. It is a reminder of the deep divisions that exist, the hatred that is spewed, and hate is tolerated. It is a sign that our democracy is in danger." . . .
Trump’s minacious mugshot owes a tip of his MAGA hat to Tom DeLay, the former Republican congressman from Texas who would have been the Speaker of the House when Dennis Hastert resigned and went to prison for having sex with male minors.
On October 20, 2005, DeLay had to pose for a mugshot after a Democrat prosecutor indicted him over the same kind of horseshit that Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg and Jack Smith are indicting him on. DeLay turned the mugshot against the prosecutors.
“Answer: A photo of DeLay grinning from ear to ear doesn’t pack quite the punch in a Democratic attack ad as one that looks more like the mugshot of, say, actor Hugh Grant, after his arrest in 1995 for picking up a prostitute.
. . ."Liberals know their charges are bogus, which is why they now fear Trump because his mugshot shows he will fight them in court and fight them in his second term in a manner never seen before.
"Sorry Republicans, you have no choice but Donald Trump. He has to win because if he goes down, all hope for restoring our republic goes with him. That mugshot liberals spent millions on witch hunts backfired. Their sobs are music to mine ears."
(Update)A failed Presidency
“I’m hard-pressed to think of a single thing he has done that benefits the country,” one respondent wrote, according to CNN." . . .
Biden's Strategic Failures in Foreign Policy (senate.gov) "Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley called the U.S. pullout from Afghanistan “a strategic failure.” The same can be said of many of the Biden administration’s foreign policy decisions. The missteps and failures are alienating America’s allies, strengthening our enemies, and threatening our national security."...
A President Joe Biden, we were told, would be a moderate president, one who could unite Americans and competently lead our nation.
"Talk about fake news.
"Ten months into the Biden presidency, it’s clear that he is neither moderate nor, despite decades in Washington as a senator and vice president, competent.
"Yet perhaps no president was ever better set up to be successful.
"All Americans wanted was an end to 2020, that horrible pandemic year. Yet who among us, as we clinked champagne glasses with a select few on New Year’s Eve, thought 2021 would usher in yet more rounds of horrors?" . . . UPDATE below:
Why you rarely believe celebrity apologies on social media -
On social media, posts of contrition from public figures are endless. They usually flop.
"At a recent concert in the European country of Georgia, rock band The Killers found themselves in the middle of a decades-long political conflict. On 16 Aug, lead singer Brandon Flowers invited a Russian audience member on stage and asked the crowd to treat the fan as a "brother". The request was met with immediate boos and even walkouts; the backlash continued after the show.
"The next day, the musicians issued a swift social media apology via X, formerly known as Twitter. They wrote, in part: "We recognise that a comment, meant to suggest that all of The Killers' audience and fans are 'brothers and sisters', could be misconstrued. We did not mean to upset anyone and apologise."
"That social media apology came the same week Tiffany Gomas apologised on Instagram for delaying an American Airlines flight; and members of the cast of the reality show Below Deck: Down Under apologised on their individual social accounts for an incident of sexual harassment that took place while filming the current season.
"In a social media-centric world, apologies have become compulsory; increasingly, audiences are demanding responses from celebrities and CEOs alike to address a range of missteps, such as mass layoffs, extra-marital affairs, the use of racist or hateful language or even criminal activity.
"It's a change from the world of sterile press releases from publicity reps. Instead, public figures now use social media to convey their contrition. They intend these apologies to meet their audiences where they are – be it Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X or even LinkedIn – with the hope the platforms will help to mimic the good faith of a face-to-face mea culpa." . . .
Republican silence just won't stop
For Trump: A screaming silence from 18 of Congress’ most vulnerable Republicans (msn.com) "The more Donald Trump gets indicted, the less certain Republican congressmen want to talk about him — especially if they’re serving in decidedly vulnerable districts that Trump lost to President Joe Biden in 2020.
"No fewer than 15 of the 18 Republican House members whose district voted Democratic in the 2020 presidential election have failed to make a single public comment in response to either of the two indictments handed down in August against Trump, a Raw Story review of news coverage and major social media shows.
"The group has become known as “the Biden 18,” and with Republicans clinging to a tiny majority in the U.S. House, their political fates are central to the GOP’s quest to retain power there.
"Only famed fabulist Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has spoken up forcefully for Trump . . ."
Prosecutorial Bolshevism - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics
President Trump has warned us all about exactly this form of tyranny when he said, "They are not after me. They are after you and I'm just in the way". "Democrats embrace this attempt at one party dictatorship with unbridled enthusiasm. Witness their uninhibited glee at the multiple examples of prosecutorial misconduct that Ben Stein references in his column. Indeed, if this attempt at defeating President Trump's re-election is successful why would the left not pursue the same strategy in the future against any of their opponents ?
Drebes: State Republican lawmakers' silence on Trump legal woes isn't risk-free - St. Louis Business Journal (bizjournals.com)
"Republicans running in statewide primaries are faced with a decision: Do they continue to embrace Trump, unbothered by his penchant for playing fast and loose with the truth and the law, even as the wheels of justice slowly roll toward him?" . . .
