Why the Left Will Cut Biden Loose

"After the Justice Brett Kavanaugh hearings, the nation was lectured that "women must be believed." But it was the Left who attacked former Biden aide Tara Reade who surfaced in 2016 to accuse then Senator Biden, her former boss, of sexually assaulting her."

 Victor Davis Hanson (townhall.com)   "Republican pundits and conservative activists are debating whether they can win in 2024 with the successful Trump agenda, but without the controversial former President Donald Trump as their nominee.

" The Democrats have a similar, but far more serious dilemma with President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party's nominee in 2024.

"Unlike the Trump Administration's successful four years, Biden's tenure has been an utter disaster. There are no policy offsets to the personal liabilities and unpopularity of Biden himself.

"Biden's liabilities transcend his physical infirmities, his advanced age, and his seeming geometric rather than arithmetic rate of mental decline. 

"Biden, moreover, proves daily that he is not a nice guy. His excesses, past and present, are precisely those the Left considers mortal sins.

Walking back Biden's absurdities has become the nonstop, tiresome task of many on the Left. As they face a midterm disaster in November, many no longer see any compensating reasons not to drop Biden. 

"When the Republicans take the House of Representatives in 2022 there will be nonstop investigations of Hunter Biden's alleged tax avoidances, his possibly illegal work as an unregistered foreign agent, and Joe Biden's untaxed compensation he received from the Biden lobbying consortium.

"Consider also Biden's nastiness." . . .

He serially lies that he drove a semi-truck. He has not been to the Middle East 38 times. He never received an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy. Nor was he a full professor at the University of Pennsylvania. The MAGA movement is not the "most extreme political organization in American history." In other words, Biden reveals the same fantasies and plagiarism that ended his 1988 and 2008 presidential campaigns. . . .

 

Woke Christmas Tree Farm in Virginia Posts Shameful Antisemitic Message on Welcome Sign

Leftists can't even let apple picking, hay rides, and Christmas tree shopping be enjoyable and family-friendly. They have to suck the fun out of absolutely everything because they want everyone to be as joyless as they are; . . .Why are people like this on TV often named "Joy"?

  RedState  "From the Leftists Ruin Everything file: A Christmas tree farm in Northern Virginia felt this was the perfect season to blast an antisemitic message to customers and passers-by. Cox Farms, a popular destination for pumpkin pickers and Christmas tree shoppers in the D.C. area, put "Ceasefire Now" on their roadside welcome sign and accentuated the antisemitic display with a wooden watermelon. 

"The addition of the watermelon wasn't some folksy, farm-y touch, it was an obvious wink and a nod to the "from the river to the sea" crowd, who use the watermelon emoji to show their solidarity with Hamas. Nothing says "Let's celebrate the birth of the Christ child" like an anti-Jewish smear on display to the public. 

"The owners of Cox Farm, who clearly faced blowback from the community for their unnecessarily political sign, took to Facebook on Thursday -- the day of giving thanks -- to double down on their hatred for Israel, explaining that they "are committed to fighting injustice and white supremacy." If you're confused, wait until you read the entire message:

Cox Farms puts up political signs all the time. It’s in Northern Virginia so they get lots of positive attention on social media. They went hard during Trump years but of course, have been much calmer during Biden. pic.twitter.com/l5Vldub8SZ

Don Surber: Highlights of the week

 Don Surber (substack.com)   "ITEM 1: The National File reported, “The Red Hen, a Lexington, Virginia, restaurant that became known to many as the ‘Commie Cluck’ after its owner barred Trump Administration Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family from eating there, is closing its doors, apparently becoming just the latest left-wing icon to fall victim to the infamous Trump Curse.”

"Chick-fil-A is opening a restaurant in the town next month.  Sanders now is governor of Arkansas. I love happy endings.

". . ."ITEM 5: The Washington Examiner reported, “A Christian school in Vermont has filed a lawsuit against the state’s education agency after the school was banned from participating in intercollegiate sports for refusing to play a game against a girl’s basketball team with a biological male who identifies as a girl on it.”

"America has an official state-sponsored religion. It is called atheism.

"ITEM 6: NBC reported, “More than half of American voters — 52% — say they or someone in their household owns a gun, per the latest NBC News national poll.”

"That’s up from 42% a decade ago.

"Mini-Mike Bloomberg’s multi-million-dollar gun control campaign is working about as well as Kamala’s border control.

Speaker Johnson to make all Jan. 6 tapes available to public 'immediately'.

 

Speaker Johnson to make all Jan. 6 tapes available to public 'immediately' | Washington Examiner   "The tapes will be posted on a public website and contain more than 44,000 hours of security footage taken during the Jan. 6 riot, barring any video that contains sensitive security information or "information that would lead to retaliation of private citizens," according to the speaker's office. The website launched Friday with its first tranche of footage, and the House Administration Committee will continue posting additional videos over the next several months.

"This decision will provide millions of Americans, criminal defendants, public interest organizations, and the media an ability to see for themselves what happened that day, rather than having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials," Johnson said in a statement.

"The videos will blur the faces of private citizens to ensure no one is "targeted for retaliation of any kind," the speaker said. Roughly 5% of the video footage will not be posted due to sensitive security information "related to the building architecture."

The public will also have an option to view the footage in person at the Capitol building inside the subcommittee’s offices. The public can begin reserving time to view the videos on Monday.

“ 'The goal of our investigation has been to provide the American people with transparency on what happened at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and this includes all official video from that day,” said Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), chairman of the House Administration Committee's Oversight Subcommittee. “We will continue loading video footage as we conduct our investigation and continue to review footage. As I’ve said all along — the American people deserve transparency, accountability, and real answers supported by facts instead a predetermined political narrative." . . .

Two more Fox News mega-stars morph into "Chris Wallace 2.0" and POUNCE...

Revolver News   "The regime’s loyalists have united and are currently targeting Elon Musk, their second-most prominent political enemy (Trump is always at the top of their list). They’ve initiated an all-out attack against Elon and X, enlisting the tyrants over at “Media Matters,” one of their most formidable enforcement goons. Media Matters is picking up where the ADL failed and is attempting to dismantle the social media platform by persuading corporate America to withdraw advertising, thereby crippling Elon’s revenue. The situation has become so dire and seemingly corrupt that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has stepped in, launching an investigation into this alleged collusion.

Political Insider:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has opened an investigation into Media Matters For America (MMFA) regarding “potential fraudulent activity” in their quest to shut down the X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter.

The move comes just days after X CEO Elon Musk announced that he was preparing a “thermonuclear” lawsuit against the far-left group of bloggers and journalists.

Media Matters initially published a report on Friday accusing X of placing ads next to “white nationalist hashtags,” a specious claim in which Musk argues the group used manipulated data and misrepresentations of reality to portray a false narrative.

Paxton’s office released a statement saying that they find Media Matters’ actions troubling.

“We are examining the issue closely to ensure that the public has not been deceived by the schemes of radical left-wing organizations who would like nothing more than to limit freedom by reducing participation in the public square,” Paxton said.

"And if it isn’t clear by now, this is precisely why the uni-party regime wanted to silence Ken Paxton. Thankfully, they failed, and he’s still battling for freedom." . . .

As a matter of fact, two prominent stars over at Fox News have become entangled in this and now sound like Chris Wallace on steroids. Here’s what Gregg Re said in a post on X, calling out Howard Kurtz and Bret Baier for their shameless attacks on Elon Musk and their twisted defense of the divisive, racist hate mongers over at the ADL:

Hamas and its supporters around the world are worse than Nazis -

WATCH: Greta Thunberg Takes the Mask Off Fully, as She Chants to 'Crush Zionism' at Disturbing Rally – RedState  "The left has pushed forward Greta Thunberg for years now, to tout their climate change agenda. You weren't allowed to criticize her, according to them, because she was a teen. Yet they still wanted you to accept what this child, who had no scientific background, was saying. And because it was about pushing the agenda wrapped in a package, you weren't supposed to criticize or point out any problems." . . .

Andrea Widburg; American Thinker   "World War II historian Andrew Roberts has a powerful essay making an important point: Hamas is worse than the Nazis because the Nazis still had a sufficient moral compass to be embarrassed by their genocidal crimes, while Hamas and its supporters are loud and proud. And when I say supporters, I don’t just mean the Gazastanians, a huge majority of whom support both Hamas and the massacre of Israelis. I mean their collaborators in the West, too, with the execrable Greta Thunberg as Exhibit A.

"Roberts writes that, while still lacking the wherewithal to kill six million Jews, Hamas and the whole panoply of antisemitic Jihadists are “qualitatively worse than the Nazis in their belief systems, impulses, and instincts.” The reason?

In October 1943 Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, delivered a notorious speech to 50 of his senior lieutenants in Posen. “I want to speak frankly to you about an extremely grave matter,” he said. “We can talk about it among ourselves, yet we will never speak of it in public. … I am referring to the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish people. … It is a page of glory in our history that has never been written and is never to be written.”

By total contrast, the Hamas killers 80 years later attached GoPro cameras to their helmets so they could livestream their atrocities over social media. Although the Nazis burnt Jews alive in barns on their retreat in 1945, they did not film themselves doing it. There are plenty of photographs of Nazis standing around death-pits full of Jewish corpses, but these were taken for private delectation rather than public consumption.

"When the Soviets approached Auschwitz, the Nazis did everything they could to hide their crimes, whether it was to empty the camps by taking prisoners on death marches or simply destroying the crematoria, which were the infrastructure of mass murder. Moreover, the reason for the gas chambers was that the ordinary German soldier was sickened by slaughtering civilians en masse, even the Jews he’d been taught to believe were subhuman." . . .

Teacher Stands With Israel, Students Riot

Hundreds of students rioted at Hillcrest High School in Queens on Monday, trying to assault a teacher who posted a photo on Facebook of herself with an “I Stand With Israel” sign:

Hundreds of “radicalized” kids rampaged through the halls of a Queens high school this week for nearly two hours after they discovered a teacher had attended a pro-Israel rally — forcing the terrified educator to hide in a locked office as the teen mob tried to push its way into her classroom, The Post has learned.

The mayhem at Hillcrest High School in Jamaica unfolded shortly after 11 a.m. Monday in what students called a pre-planned protest over the teacher’s Facebook profile photo showing her at a pro-Israel rally on Queens Oct. 9 holding a poster saying, “I stand with Israel.”

Hundreds of kids flooded into hallways and ran amok, chanting, jumping, shouting, and waving Palestinian flags or banners." . . .

Why The Left’s Antisemitic Hysterics Shouldn’t Surprise Anyone

 The Federalist

In the wake of Oct. 7, the left’s response makes much more sense when you consider the falsehoods they choose to believe about Israeli history.

. . ."Despite my friend blaming “the occupation” for all the problems of the region and talking about trauma during the Second Intifada when Israel clamped down on the uprising, I found him an honorable and well-intentioned guy, albeit with a view of history I later found to be inaccurate.

"The people I did not find honorable or relatable were the Western volunteers. In fact, I found them to be victimhood parasites, feeding vicariously off the victim narrative under the guise of compassion. This has begun to grate on me more and more in the years since I was in Israel and Palestine and now makes the radical left’s reaction to the situation all the more explainable.

"Much of what was told to me during my time in Palestine was patently false. But the most harmful and untrue narratives didn’t come from Palestinians: They came from the Western leftists pretending to adopt their cause.

"I went on tours and volunteered with Westerners who blithely dismissed murders of Israeli “settlers” in the nearby neighborhood as mere attention-seeking. They glossed over Palestinians running at IDF soldiers in vicious knife attacks, implying it was understandable or at least not that notable.

"Even the Israeli man planting flowers next to the new Jewish homes near Machpelah was clearly full of hate, couldn’t we see? The rest of Hebron where Palestinians resided was immaterial: That didn’t matter; any of their problems were clearly from this small central area they didn’t control! They were victims, they had to stay victims. That was their role." . . .

Has the Left Finally Blown It? - American Thinker

The ‘Complexity’ of Idiocy; The Left is less a political movement than a neurotic clown collective arrogantly spouting toxic imbecility

  American Greatness

 The Left is less a political movement than a neurotic clown collective arrogantly spouting toxic imbecility

"Often, yours truly has expounded (okay, ranted) upon the term “narrative,” which is just an artful euphemism for “lie.” A device drawn from fiction, as opposed to non-fiction, it facilitates lying by eliding the need for providing the facts and proving the truth of one’s assertions. Consequently, it is a boon to propagandists, who can harp on a “narrative” ad nauseum to provoke and persuade the public to do as the purveyor of the lie seeks.

"For the Left, one oft used word signaling an impending narrative is the word “complexity.” Usage of this word allows the Leftist to cull and, importantly, dispense with whatever facts or allegations they choose to create a narrative. This is critical in instances where the facts at hand lead to an ineluctable conclusion – i.e., the truth – that is antithetical to the Left’s aim. Let us explore four instances of the Left’s “complexity” of idiocy driving a narrative harmful to America and the world.

"In American domestic policy, the Left is not content with foisting cancel culture upon the country and coopting the corporate media to control the political debate. The Left wants to silence any dissent to its authoritarian aims. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution recognizes and protects the God-given rights to each citizen of “political rights,” such as free speech. One would think the constitution’s prohibition would be the last word on censorship; but one would be underestimating the Left’s power to pretend the clear prohibition of government censorship is, instead, “complex.”

"Consequently, as they have on college campuses, the Left has been weaponizing federal and state governments both directly and through colluding with private entities to censor free speech.  Creating the camouflage of “complexity” by pretending there exists a transcendent right not to be “offended” and purporting to be promoting “safety,” the censorious Left’s aim is to cloud the truth that the supreme law of the land prohibits the government from infringing upon Americans’ free speech and all political rights. And no amount of faux complexity can obscure the fact that there is nothing more dangerous than a censor." . . .

In the realm of American foreign policy, a classic example is the Left’s obstinate determination to appease the terrorist regime in Iran. Citing imagined “moderate” mullahs, ignoring the Iranian people’s courageous efforts to be free, and abiding the delusion Iran’s nuclear program can be managed for solely energy purposes and separated from the regime’s exportation of terror, the Left has manufactured the complexity it hopes can convince someone other than themselves that this barbarous, tyrannical government does not really mean it when it screams, “Death to America!  Death to Israel!”  Spoiler alert: they really mean it.
