Mazie Hirono’s Sad Sex Life

The Lid

  . . ." ‘Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any physical or verbal harassment or assault of a sexual nature?”

"There has to be something wrong with someone who constantly asks others about their sex lives. Personally, I believe it’s pretty gross. Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) is one, and others believe asking others is just not normal. She must have a sad sex life.

"Lawrence Diggs, Roslyn, is an author and professional public morality speaker,v told the Aberdeen News. “What makes people obsess over the sex lives of others?” 

I have a hard time understanding why some people are so interested in the sex lives of other people I don’t know why some people feel the need to discuss, examine and pass judgement on the sex lives of others. What kind of mind obsesses so much that they actually write and pass laws dictating what other people can do sexually?    It all seems to come from sick minds, but I am trying to understand it.

"Mazie seems to concentrate on the sex lives of men. When talking about Christine Blasey Ford’s claims against Justice Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings, she said, “Of course, it helps that there are women on that committee. … But really, guess who’s perpetuating these kinds of actions? It’s the men in this country. And I just want to say to the men in this country: Just shut up and step up. Do the right thing for a change.

"During  the 2020 confirmation  hearings of Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court, Mazie Hirono asked Barrett a question about kinky sex:, ‘Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any physical or verbal harassment or assault of a sexual nature?' ” . . .

Senator Hirono Didn’t Always Tell Men to ‘Shut Up’ and Believe Accusers  "When it mattered in her own backyard, with a male Democratic senator, she turned a blind eye to sexual abuse."

Is Trump Ushering In An Era Of Responsible Journalism, Too?

 Issues & Insights   "In his inaugural speech, President Donald Trump talked about ushering in a new golden age for America. Is he also ushering in a new era of responsible journalism?

"Yes, that’s harder to believe than any of the other promises Trump made, such as the one about how he’d “keep our children … disease-free.” But we thought we saw a faint glimmer of what honest journalism could look like on Monday.

"For years, journalists had decided to label anything Trump said with which they disagreed a lie. That was especially true when it came to any Trump claim about the integrity of the 2020 election.

"For example, here’s a headline from the New York Times in October."

"This wasn’t about correcting the record. It was about attacking Trump every which way they could. When Joe Biden told an outright lie, the press routinely dismissed it as a “gaffe,” or an “exaggeration,” or just Joe being Joe.

"But anytime Trump made a boast, the press would scream “Liar!” If he exaggerated for effect. Liar! It got to the point where if Trump said the sky was blue, the press would call him a liar because, in fact, the sky isn’t blue, it only appears blue because of the way the light interacts with the atmosphere.

"But look at the “fact check” the New York Times ran on the day of Trump’s second inauguration." . . .

NY AG Letitia James tells hospitals to continue sex-change procedures for minors despite Trump’s executive order

 NY Post

  The New York Times reported that two different families seeking to implant their 12-year-olds with a device that dispenses puberty blockers had their appointments at NYU Langone Health “abruptly canceled following the executive order.” 

Broc Smith

"New York Attorney General Letitia James warned local hospitals Monday that they will be in violation of state discrimination laws if they comply with President Trump’s executive order aimed at outlawing sex-change procedures for minors. 

" 'Regardless of the availability of federal funding, we write to further remind you of your obligations to comply with New York State laws, including those that prohibit discrimination against individuals based on their membership in a protected class, such as sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, creed, color, national origin, citizenship or immigration status, military status, disability, or marital status,” James wrote in a letter to New York health care facilities.

“ 'Electing to refuse services to a class of individuals based on their protected status, such as withholding the availability of services from transgender individuals based on their gender identity or their diagnosis of gender dysphoria, while offering such services to cisgender individuals, is discrimination under New York law,” she added. " . . .

California EPA killing the state

 Don Surber; Substack

"How do you put a lithium battery out? The same way Bob Uecker said you catch a knuckleball: You “wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.' ”

 

"Readers know the perils of the government of California SSR. It is a place where shoplifting is a right, pooping in the streets on demand is the law, and illegal aliens are as protected as snail darters. Neither type of animal is on the endangered list.

"Under Chairman Brylcreem’s command, the state blows up dams to save fish. That exploding the dam killed hundreds of thousands of fish and deer is no reason to criticize Governor Gavin. His heart was in the right place.

"The state suffered the worst manmade disaster in America this month when wildfires destroyed much of Los Angeles. The combination of the state ignoring basic forestry management, draining reservoirs ahead of the annual Santa Ana winds, and Los Angeles cutting back on fire department spending—which meant it postponed checking fire hydrants—doomed the people.

"And for good measure, Mayor Karen the Cuban Commie Bass put lesbians in charge of the fire department, emphasizing DEI over competence.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Democrats refused to let insurers raise their rates, which led to them canceling policies.

"When the fires inevitably hit, the devil orgasmed. No water, no fire department leadership and no raking of the underbrush to keep it from turning to kindling.

"Oh and no insurance, which meant people would blame State Farm instead of state government for this calamity, Jane.

"Even the normally rational actor James Woods fell for it, tweeting:

State Farm, my insurer for decades, canceled my insurance and everyone in our immediate neighborhood just before the fire. State Farm WASN’T there, no matter how much they tell you otherwise in their stupid commercial jingles.

The Democrats Are Hogging the Wilderness

The Democrat Party’s selection of Ken Martin and David Hogg as their new leaders prove that they haven’t learned anything and still need to spend time in wilderness timeout before trying to be relevant again.

David Hogg Needs a Reality Check About Who He's 'Fighting'

"This isn’t just a verdict on their party leaders, though it is that. They’ve got some real problems with finding a standard bearer. It’s this bad…  2028 National Democratic Primary (+/- shift vs December)

• Harris - 33% (-2) • Buttigieg - 9% (-3) • Newsom - 7% (=) • Ocasio-Cortez - 6% (+3) • Shapiro - 3% (-2) • Walz - 3% (-2) • Whitmer - 3% (=) • Klobuchar - 3% (+2) • Stephen A. Smith - 2% (new) • Booker - 2% (=)

"There’s an awful lot you can glean from that poll."

 . . .For one thing, it tells you that Democrat voters are terribly uninformed. A third of them are for Kamala Harris largely because they don’t even know who else is out there, and a majority of them are for one of the people on that list because of identity politics.

"You don’t get good candidates that way. And a primary electorate in which AOC doubles up Josh Shapiro is a really, really unhealthy petri dish from which to grow a relevant party.

"This is why it’s considerably more instructive that David Hogg is your new DNC vice chair, or one of them, than that Martin is the chair.

"There are few people less appealing or interesting than David Hogg. This is somebody whose sole source of political relevance is the fact that he was not killed in the Parkland, Florida shooting, and therefore he was handed a platform from which to opine about Australia-style gun control.

"When any reasonable examination of that terrible event shows that the availability of firearms was far, far less the source of the problem than Democrat policies discouraging or barring disciplinary actions against dangerously deranged students. Not to mention the utter and complete failure of the local police to intervene timely when things went horribly wrong both before and during the shooting.

"Hogg has gone around flogging the “Defund the Police” shibboleth. And he still sounds like he did in 2018…"

Taking It to the Streets … Democrats Finally Revert to Vindictive Form

American Spectator   

Jeffries brought Democrats back to where they are most comfortable. To the street. To who they are, who they really long to be. 

Hakeem Jeffries – CLAYTOONZ

"It didn’t take long for Democrats to revert to form: a call to arms. Or rather, the streets. For Democrats, that’s a distinction without a difference. Arms, streets — it’s all the same and it’s all the Left.

"Democrats have been straining to play nice, all while chomping at the bit to be themselves. Instead, they have struck the pose of contrast to the caricature they created of Jan. 6, 2021, and with which they sought to tar conservatives and Republicans.

" 'Extremists,” “insurrectionists,” “threats to democracy” they chanted as mantras, hoping that saying it enough would make it fact. More than a message, that has been their script since Jan. 7, 2021. When Donald Trump’s second inauguration came, Democrats were self-consciously conscious to not be Jan. 6 — at all costs, they wanted to maintain the contrast that existed in their minds.

"Then came Hakeem Jeffries’s statement last week. Regarding the Trump administration agenda, Jeffries said: “We’re going to fight it in the streets.” It took less than two weeks for Democrats to drop their forced façade of moderation.

"Welcome back to the faded memories of the aftermath of Trump’s 2016 upset over Hillary Clinton and their extended tantrum for the next four years. There was the lecture of Vice President-elect Mike Pence and his family at the Hamilton show. There were repeated disruptions of the electoral vote count of Trump’s 2016 victory. There were refusals to serve Trump administration officials when they went to restaurants. There had been Rep. Maxine Waters’s unhinged call for harassment.

"Then there were the memories of 2019 and 2020, when flush with their midterm takeover of the House, Democrats had unleashed countless investigations and hearings of the Trump administration. There was Speaker Pelosi defiantly tearing up Trump’s speech as she stood behind him at his 2020 State of the Union address. There were not one, but two, impeachments of Trump and a staged and stacked Jan. 6, 2021, investigation.

"Beginning in 2023, the tools of Democrats’ radicalism were put away — as though another inconvenient Hunter Biden laptop — as they copped a pose of moderation juxtaposed to extremism. Democrats unleashed lawfare to formalize the juxtapositional theater they had been pursuing." . . .  More...

Did You Notice What's Missing From Netanyahu's Schedule While Visiting Capitol Hill?

 Rebecca Downs; Townhall

"Last July, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress, though he did so with many Democrats, including then-President Joe Biden and -Vice President Kamala Harris--the latter of whom was supposed to preside--skipping out of the event. He's returned to Capitol Hill for another visit, though this time it looks to be a much different situation, least of all because Israel has more of an ally in President Donald Trump. While Netanyahu is reportedly meeting with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), that may not be the case with another top Democrat, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)." . . .

. . ."Yes, as Jewish Insider mentions, Democrats are indeed "now out of power in Washington," and they've indeed criticized him heavily. That they maligned and sought to turn him into a pariah might be more accurate, especially when it comes to all the boycotts from last July's address. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) had to be reprimanded for holding a sign declaring Netanyahu to be a "war criminal" and "guilty of genocide." Then there's how Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) gleefully offered to serve the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant for the prime minister. Tlaib, a member of the anti-Israel Squad, isn't the only one to go after Netanyahu. Tlaib and now-former Rep. Jamaal Bowman, another member of the Squad, both referred to Netanyahu as a "maniac." Still, another Squad member, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), is also not such a fan, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) especially is not. " . .  .

DHS Resistance Leader Burned in Hidden Camera Video Detailing How They Will Fight Kristi Noem

RedState    For an "apolitical" civil service, politics certainly seems to color many of its activities. Last week, President Trump placed 50-60 senior executives with the US Agency for International Development on administrative leave (see Trump Suspends As Many As 60 Senior Bureaucrats for Trying to Evade His Executive Orders – RedState) for attempting to sabotage his efforts to cut grants to such worthy project as transgender Nigerian dance troupes; see WATCH: Press Hounds Karoline Leavitt About USAID, and She Comes Off the Top Rope With the Receipts.

"Across the federal government, we hear stories of resistance brewing. The stories are probably exaggerated but real nonetheless. And every once in a while, one of the goobers gets out over their skis and gets burned. This one, thanks to James O'Keefe and the poor girl who had to go on a date with him.

"The target was a guy named Brandon Wright, who is a GS-14 IT manager at the Department of Homeland Security." . . .

Brandon Wright, Platform Services Manager for DHS, was recorded saying that the agency’s career bureaucrats do not allow political appointees to interfere with their operations. He told the undercover reporter, "Kristi Noem? I f*cking hate her."

“The secretaries can set the priorities for the department, but they can't actually tell us what to do,” Wright told an undercover OMG journalist, later adding, "The truth is, we don't let them [secretaries] get in our way.” He said, "If we don’t agree with those priorities, there is a lot of room for interpretation, in terms of how we interpret what those priorities are." . . .

Just because you are part of an apolitical service, like the Civil Service or Armed Forces, doesn't mean you can't have political opinions. What it means is that you can't let your politics interfere with the job, and you can't carry out a guerilla war against your agency's leadership because you disagree with their politics.
