Newsom Stumps for Biden in South Carolina, Vouches for President's Fitness

 Breitbart

Similarly, 69 percent of poll respondents said, “Biden is showing he is too old to be president.” The poll was conducted from January 17-18 and sampled 2,346 registered voters.

"Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) hit the campaign trail for President Joe Biden in South Carolina on Wednesday and Thursday, where he vouched for Biden’s mental fitness.

"Newsom’s barnstorming for Biden comes as the February 3, South Carolina Democrat primary is rapidly approaching after the president won a write-in campaign in New Hampshire over his challengers, Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) and third-party candidate Marianne Williamson. It also comes as the RealClearPolling average as of Friday has Biden nearly four points behind former President Donald Trump. 

"As Politico California Bureau Chief Christopher Cadelago wrote, at an event in Allendale, South Carolina, Mayor James L. Cohen raised concerns to Newsom “about the ‘narrative’ that Biden is not mentally fit to stand for reelection.” 

"Cadelago later shared a video of Newsom’s answer to X. After stammering for a few seconds, Newsom vouched for Biden’s fitness for office, noting he and Biden have spent plenty of time together in recent years.

“ 'I do not understand that narrative. This guy is next-level energy in private,” he claimed. “If he was in a room like this, he’d light you guys up. His ability to connect — we all know Bill Clinton, his ability to connect, I think it’s right up there.”

"He also claimed he and the 81-year-old president had a robust private conversation about artificial intelligence, where Biden spoke on the topic in-depth, without referencing notes.

"Newsom’s defense comes as a Harvard-Harris poll, published on January 22, showed 63 percent of Americans, including 31 percent of Democrats, “have doubts about [Biden’s] fitness.' ”

The Tunnel Wall: Terrors of the Michelle Obama (Presidential) Prophecy

" 'First, please understand that Michelle is terribly afraid that former President Donald Trump will recapture the White House.  Her husband’s “Big Guy,” also known as China Joe Biden is haplessly watching his job approval ratings plummet especially in the swing states that will take other Democrat politicians down with him.  "So they’re afraid, the media is afraid, and Michelle is pushing the panic button."

Texas Is Correct to Defend Its Sovereignty From the Border Invasion; God bless Greg Abbott and the great state of Texas.

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

God bless Greg Abbott and the great state of Texas, who rightfully cherish their sovereignty and righteously refuse to bend the knee to the most lawless presidential administration in American history.

"The adjective “Orwellian” can be overused in our political discourse. But how else to describe a situation in which the federal government abdicates its responsibility to secure the nation’s wide-open border and then, when a state steps up to help stanch the bleeding, is told by that same federal government to stop — and, for good measure, that its efforts to help secure the border via a new razor wire barrier will be undone?
"There really is only one apt word: “Orwellian.” On Monday, the Supreme Court voted 5-4 — with moderate Chief Justice John Roberts and center-right Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining their liberal colleagues — in favor of the Biden administration, which had requested that the court permit its Border Patrol agents to cut or remove protective razor wire fencing installed by Texas officials along the besieged Rio Grande. The court’s ruling is simply astonishing.
"In America’s federalist constitutional order, both the federal government and the states act as fully sovereign actors operating within their delineated spheres of legitimate governing authority. The federal government — which was itself initially created in the late 1780s by the then-preexisting states — is in no position whatsoever to demand that states deliberately undermine their own sovereignty. That is especially true when the federal government itself obstinately refuses to secure the nation’s territorial integrity, as has been the case throughout Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency.
"That both the federal government and the states may wield power as fully sovereign entities within our constitutional order is constitutional law 101."As the late Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in the 2012 Supreme Court case Arizona v. United States, “As a sovereign, Arizona has the inherent power to exclude persons from its territory, subject only to those limitations expressed in the Constitution or constitutionally imposed by Congress.” (In Texas’ current case, there is no relevant constitutional limitation or congressional imposition.) Later in his separate Arizona writing, Scalia continued: “[A]fter the adoption of the Constitution there was some doubt about the power of the federal government to control immigration, but no doubt about the power of the states to do so.” (Emphasis added.)"


Leftwing media peddles haunting fiction of rape-related pregnancy and the inability to access ‘healthcare’

Hard to find photos of aborted babies because they look like the work of Hamas in Israel. TD

 UPDATED: American Thinker

Summary: Never trust what you are told, whether it is by journalists, politicians, bureaucrats, educators, scientists, or entertainers. Always do your own research.

. . ."When I read the headline I immediately suspected it was a fabrication to push the abortion agenda. It is no different than all the made-up garbage we read on climate change, to push the radical “green” agenda—which is really just a scheme to destroy and remake America, based on easily-manipulated computer models that have always been wrong with previous predictions.

"My first thought was: How many women get pregnant each year from rape?

"This article on rape and pregnancies in the U.S. was just printed by Time with what appears to be no questions and no research.

"This sentence should tell people that the number of “64,000 pregnancies” in the 14 states that limit abortions is made-up, pulled out of thin air, just like the six-foot “social distance” separation that Anthony Fauci admitted wasn’t based on science.

"The authors, who noted there is no reliable state-level data on rapes….”

"Since journalists won’t do any research and people will use these made-up numbers to push their agenda, whatever it is, I thought I would do some for them." . . .

The Shameful and Strange Ruling Against Israel at the ICJ

  HotAir

"In the war launched by Hamas and Gazans against Israel on October 7, only one side has publicly and repeatedly promised genocidal extinction to the other. The International Court of Justice has, predictably, decided that the target of that genocidal ambition has to answer for its self-defense.

Weirdly, though, the ICJ decided to creep up on that position, demanding that Israel preserve ‘evidence’ of its genocidal actions while supplying more aid to their enemies at war:

The United Nations’ top court has told Israel it must take measures to prevent its forces from committing acts of genocide against Palestinians — but stopped short of using its power to order a full cease-fire in the Israeli military campaign in the Gaza Strip.

The ICJ also said Israel must allow humanitarian aid to the Palestinians and not destroy any evidence related to the case. These “provisional measures” are different than the main ask requested by South Africa, which is bringing the case and wanted a total and immediate cease-fire.

"The ICJ judge called this order “provisional” while the court mulls over the argument from Hamas ally South Africa of an Israeli genocide taking place in Gaza. A better word for this would be inversion.

"In the first place, Hamas and Gaza invaded southern Israel on October 7th in violation of an existing cease-fire. That in itself is perfidy as well as a legitimate cassus belli. Israel formally declared war at that point and has been operating under the rules of war since that time. Hamas has taken every opportunity to violate those rules by engaging in offensive operations out of uniform, hiding military assets and operations within civilian structures, and deliberately targeting unarmed civilians for both murder and widespread rape and pillaging. The ICJ barely notices these crimes, and has nothing to say at all about promises by Hamas to keep repeating the October 7 massacres until Israel is destroyed." . . .

Israel on Trial in Kangaroo Court  One of two posts on Kangaroo courts.

"Israel is the victim of legal apartheid where there is a singular standard applied only to the Jewish state. I discuss the situation in relation to the show trial at the Hague with Prof. Avi Bell in the context of the show trial Israel is no being subjected to at the “International Court of Justice” at the Hague. Don’t miss this episode!"

The Court must have learned from the same sources as student rioters.

Seeking an Israeli surrender: Biden pushes a bad deal to end war with Hamas - Washington Times   "President Biden and his closest advisers — Secretary of State Antony Blinken, national security adviser Jake Sullivan and his top adviser on the Middle East, Brett McGurk — have all been trying to pressure the Israelis into a bad deal. Their purpose — joining Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar and other Arab nations — is to end the war between Israel and the terrorists of Hamas before Israel can destroy Hamas.

"The deal — which Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has so far rejected — promises several things. First, the Saudis would recognize and establish diplomatic relations with Israel, which Israel has always refused because of their support for the Palestinians. Second, the Israelis would help form a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Third, the Israelis would withdraw their troops from Gaza and, in return, Hamas would supposedly release the remaining Israeli hostages they hold, who number about 136 men, women and children.

"The European Union, always seeking relevance, is also involved. It has met with several Arab leaders and said it wants to impose consequences on Israel for refusing the two-state solution. The Israelis apparently aren’t taking the EU effort seriously. Not that they should." . . .

Terrors of the Michelle Obama (Presidential) Prophecy

  John Kass (johnkassnews.com)

"But when it came to the Obamas, the media was not critical in the least. There is nothing so malleable as white liberal elitist journalists afraid of being called racists. So they sucked up and liked it." . . .

"The world is not just about snuggling with housebroken puppies and rainbows out your window and riding unicorns bareback.  The real world can be terrifying. Just ask former First Lady Michelle Obama.

"She’s trembling with terror like a princess in a fairy tale being chased by Baba Yaga. And this terror of hers has infected the American news media with even more terror. Which brings us to the Michelle Obama Prophecy.

"First, please understand that Michelle is terribly afraid that former President Donald Trump will recapture the White House.  Her husband’s “Big Guy,” also known as China Joe Biden is haplessly watching his job approval ratings plummet especially in the swing states that will take other Democrat politicians down with him.

"So they’re afraid, the media is afraid, and Michelle is pushing the panic button.

“ 'I am terrified about what could possibly happen,” Ms. Obama said of this year’s presidential election on a podcast. And China Joe’s failing popularity numbers on key policy issues from the wide-open border to inflation to street crime are causing Democrat politicians to fret and as their leftist corprate media mouthpieces soil themselves.

"I’m worried too, and though I am definitely not a Democrat, I do worry,  since the Obamas are world-class cynical phonies capable of anything. And now the JoBama administration is going on its third term, the panic at the potential loss of a fourth term may cause them to grab for five terms, completely trashing the Constitution.

"But are the Democrats really terrified about trashing the Constitution in their never-ending power grab? No. Would Michelle opt to protect the Constitution and risk her own ambition? No." . . .

Report: The Obamas 'Working' to Take Biden 'Out' of Race, Barack Telling Him to Quit

  RedState "There have been multiple reports about Barack Obama and his aides being worried about how Joe Biden and his teams were conducting their campaign. 

"Obama was supposedly worried about the strength of Donald Trump and that the Biden campaign wasn't hitting the ground running. Obama aides put a sharper point on that, admitting that the "bromance" with Joe Biden was always exaggerated and that the Biden campaign "didn’t have its s--- together,"

"There were also suggestions from some, like Cindy Adams, that Michelle Obama might wiggle into the race and that she was "terrified" of what could happen. 

"Now, interestingly, the Obama reports are getting more pointed in the attacks on Biden, as our sister site PJ Media explained, citing a report from Radar Online.

Insiders "snitched" that tensions exploded between Obama and Biden when an "irate Obama rushed to a secret meeting and confronted Biden about his fading chances to fend off surging Republican candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming November election." 

"Obama read Joe the riot act," spilled a Beltway insider to the Nationanquirer. "He told him to up his game or step aside for a candidate who can win the race." ....]

In desperation, sources said Obama bellowed at bumbling Biden to go on the attack — and make sure trusted aides are constantly by his side on the campaign trail to keep them from committing the disastrous gaffes that have defined his presidency. 

"The Obamas are convinced Joe's lost his grip," confided the insider. "He looks more feeble and clueless every day, and they know he's lost the confidence of the public."

"After the "frightening episode" when Biden forgot what he was doing while placing a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and had to be directed by soldiers on duty, sources say Obama huddled with David Axelrod." . . .
 I wouldn't stress Joe having his hard hat backwards. When I worked on a Crane maintenance crew, we all wore our hats backward; it was mainly because we worked overhead, and that put the visor out of our way. The Tunnel Dweller.

Ohio stands up to medical profiteers

  Don Surber (substack.com)

. . ."DeWine received more than $40,000 in campaign donations from the trans industry. And an industry it is." . . .


"The New York Times reported, “Ohio lawmakers on Wednesday overrode Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of a bill that would bar transgender minors from receiving puberty blockers, hormone therapy or gender transition surgery.

“The move by the Republican-controlled state legislature comes less than four weeks after the Republican governor’s veto. The state House voted on Jan. 10 to override Mr. DeWine’s veto, and the Senate has now cleared the way for the law to go into effect, in 90 days.”

NYT’s report was better than the AP story, which was written by someone paid by Report for America, who failed to quote any supporters of the new law, instead quoting LGBT lobbyists and the leader of Senate Democrats.

"Basically, the story was an undisclosed ad for LGBT as it said, “Sen. Kristina Roegner, a Republican from Summit County, falsely asserted on the Senate floor that there is no such thing as gender-affirming care or a gender spectrum and called such care a fool’s errand.”

Falsely? My dear, chromosomes determine sex and sex determines gender. All the artificial hormones and puberty blockers in the world cannot change your DNA.

"But this is what the truth is up against.

"The NYT story said 8,500 children in the state from ages 13 to 17 identify as trannies. At $50,000 a surgery, that is a loss of $425 million in sales for Akron Children’s Hospital, the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, the Cleveland Clinic, and the other butcher shops in Ohio.

"That’s just from the surgery." . . .


                   

Trump Calls Georgia Criminal Investigation 'Kangaroo Court' After Juror Gives Interview About Forthcoming Indictments

 


"Kangaroo court  is an informal pejorative term for a court that ignores recognized standards of law or justice, carries little or no official standing in the territory within which it resides, and is typically convened ad hoc.[1] A kangaroo court may ignore due process and come to a predetermined conclusion. The term is also used for a court held by a legitimate judicial authority, but which intentionally disregards the court's legal or ethical obligations (compare show trial).[2]

"A kangaroo court could also develop when the structure and operation of the forum result in an inferior brand of adjudication. A common example of this is when institutional disputants ("repeat players") have excessive and unfair structural advantages over individual disputants ("one-shot players")."

The Left Had Better Watch Its Fani - American Thinker    "I was going to avoid commenting on the Fani Willis comedy routine playing in Atlanta.  But after the last week’s events, I’m busting at the seams with snark.  So here goes.

"The Atlanta district attorney, Fani Willis, decided to play superhero in her own performance art production to rescue the Dems from their disastrous decision to let gropey Joe lead the party.  She figured she could clear the field for Joe by indicting Donald Trump, and 18 others, on federal racketeering charges.  It seems that the Donald did the same thing that every losing Democrat since Al Gore has done: he questioned the vote-counting.  That’s considered “protecting our democracy” when a Democrat does it, but according to Fani, it’s criminal conspiracy when a Republican does it." . . .

Opt Out Of 'Pride' Month Activities At Your Child's School

 Peachy Keenan; (thefederalist.com)

"Opting out is your only choice — and the only hope for your kids . . .No one is coming to stop this. Your only option is to do what my friend is doing: opt out. Let your own school know you will not allow your child to take part.                                


"My friends and I are bracing for the annual rainbow onslaught poised to swamp families coast to coast this June. This year’s storm looks like a Category 5; it’s already blowing the doors off the nearby Target and wreaking havoc on the Bud Light warehouse. 

As bad as it is out in corporate land, it’s worse in the public schools, where it’s harder to see — almost like they’re trying to keep it secret! Many schools have even moved their pride events up to May so that no child is freed for summer vacation without being forced to take their required rainbow pill.

"I was shocked to learn this week that not only are newborns not allowed to opt out of transgender indoctrination, but kids with Down syndrome aren’t either!

"Incredibly, the Los Angeles Unified School District is doing just that. I don’t know why I’m surprised; LAUSD has never met a bad idea it didn’t immediately adopt and force on its kids. 

"This week, a friend of mine sent out an email account of her shocking experience at her local public elementary school’s morning assembly. She is an educated woman, a scholar, and an artist, and her older children are linguists and classical musicians. Somehow, in the heart of Los Angeles, she has raised a Catholic family of devout and artistic children.

"Her youngest is 9 and was born with Down syndrome. He is enrolled in a classroom for children like him with developmental disabilities. But his intellectual limitations end at the door to his special classroom; in the school at large, he is subject to the same gender indoctrination the other 5- to 13-year-olds are forced to undergo. Not even a child with Down syndrome is free from learning about the wonders of becoming transgender. After all, this is vital knowledge for everyone 5 and up, no matter their disabilities!" . . .
