Getting Out Of Hand? Newsom Orders Aide To Shoot Off His Ear

 Babylon Bee  

"Gavin Newsom categorically denied any imitation of Donald Trump."

This post Parody: SACRAMENTO, CA — "Sources close to Gavin Newsom say that the governor's Trump imitations may be getting a little out of hand after Newsom ordered an aide to shoot off part of his ear.

"Longtime Newsom aide Jackson Price felt things were starting to get weird after the governor handed him a rifle and asked him to aim for his earlobe.

" 'It's getting a little bizarre now," said Price. "It was kind of a funny joke when Newsom started posting in all caps. We all laughed off the new tan and sudden McDonald's obsession. But then he asked me to go with him to a rally, get up on this slightly sloped roof, and literally shoot him in the ear with a high-powered rifle. I feel like he might be taking it a bit too far."

"Gavin Newsom categorically denied any imitation of Donald Trump.

" 'That's a YUGE lie. YUGE," said Newsom, waving his hands. "That's only something losers and haters would say, believe me, everyone says so. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go start filming on my original new show 'The Trainee,' where I will debut my signature catchphrase 'Your employment has been terminated.' It's going to be so tremendous."

"At publishing time, Newsom had announced that he had legally changed his name to Donald J. Trump."

Vance slams Newsom’s efforts to ‘mimic’ Trump — and touts DC crackdown: ‘You don’t have to live with lawlessness’   . . . “This idea that Gavin Newsom is somehow going to mimic Donald Trump’s style – I think that ignores the fundamental genius of President Trump’s political success, which is that he’s authentic,” Vance argued.  

“ 'He just is who he is,” the vice president said of Trump, during his appearance on “The Ingraham Angle.” “You’ve got to be yourself. You’ve got, actually, to talk to people honestly about the issues.” 

“ 'Gavin Newsom can mimic Donald Trump all that he wants to, they’re still going to lose unless they get better policies that actually serve the American people,” he argued. " . . .

Newsom’s Office Attempts To Mock Trump — They Fail Miserably  . . . "It’s the latest example of a high-profile Democrat trying to appear punchier and spontaneous online. Democrats are also using more swear words in public statements to convey anger and authenticity.

"Between February and June, Democrats have cussed more than Republicans, according to The Washington Post. In June alone, Democrats cussed 240 times, over a hundred more times than GOP lawmakers.

"Unfortunately for Newsom and others, mimicking Trump’s iconoclastic rhetoric only makes them seem less authentic and more desperate to break through the social media noise." . . . (RELATED: Boring Democrats Desperately Want To Copy Iconic Trump Quality)

Before, we had the silliness of Kamala Harris, previously was the perpetually confused Joe Biden and the feckless Obama, all foreign policy ciphers worldwide. Now Californian Gavin Newsom tries the old, "if you cannot excel your betters, imitate 'em". So Gavin watched President Trump to see his style and imitates it. So juvenile, having cosplay all over it. TD

ARE YOU A PRIME CANDIDATE FOR COMMUNISM? THESE 7 TRAITS WILL REVEAL IF YOU ARE

Flip the Switch


"250-years after the American Revolution unleashed a wave of toppled monarchies around the world, shadow “kings” are still jockeying for power. Rather than inheriting a kingdom, these wannabes will do anything to ascend a “throne”: steal, lie, cheat, charm, threaten, coerce -- they’d sell their own mother to wear a crown. It’s why current despots are so often narcissistic, sociopathic megalomaniacs. The Left always dredges up Hitler as an example of one. Yes, Der Fuhrer was a totalitarian autocrat, but make no mistake; Nazism was a socialist construct. Modern history proves that Leftist regimes have been, by far, the most brutal, anti-freedom, scourges on the face of the earth. Upwards of 65-million people were killed during Stalin and Mao’s reigns alone, dwarfing Hitler’s WWII body counts estimated at around 11-million. For decades, countless voices have been warning democracies about communist devilry. Radical Leftist vanguards, however, had already entrenched themselves in Western education, politics, media and entertainment providing today’s breeding ground for future tyrants.
"To understand the basic context of world governments in the last 100-years, with the exception of a handful of monarchies, only four basic economic/political philosophies exist: complete anarchy (no government), communism (total government control), socialism (extensive government control), and capitalism (minimal government control). To date -- save for capitalism – all have struggled enormously, eventually failed, or succumbed to capitalistic compromises to survive.
"Roughly one-third of the globe currently lives under socialist/communist authoritarian regimes and the numbers are rising. Countries like Venezuela are a case in point; once a stable democracy it is now ruled by a dictator. China’s hope for reform collapsed in 2018 when term limits for the presidency were dropped allowing Xi Jinping to be in power indefinitely – the very definition of a dictator. What makes this story even more ironic is the little-reported fact that Mao Tse Tung brutally persecuted and killed Xi’s father (who was a follower of Mao) during China’s Cultural Revolution. There-in is the sick power of communism; the means always justify the ends, no matter how vile. The State demands absolute loyalty and outlaws dissent, thus turning friends and family members against each other. Screwtape, anyone?
"“But that’s communism,” you might say, “not socialism. Socialism is harmless. There’s so much inequity in capitalism.”
"People have long said that if you think capitalism is a study in inequality, go live in a communist country. Corruption exists in every government regardless of ideology. Do you think Putin lives in poverty? Kim Jong-un? Do you think Stalin didn’t live like a king? Talk about the greatest inequality of all. In communist countries, the masses live like paupers and the politburo live like kings." . . .  More...

When liberals do what liberals do: Progressives Slam National Mall Arrest — Until the Full Story Emerges

 Legal Insurrection   

Now it was the Republicans’ turn to pounce. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller asked Tarlov why she was defending a criminal illegal alien invader charged with sexually assaulting a child.

Wailing and gnashing of liberal teeth could be heard from our nation’s capital on Wednesday after police and federal agents detained an illegal immigrant on the National Mall. In the video below, the man exited his car as instructed and appeared calm. But inexplicably, a couple of seconds later, outnumbered by agents six to one, he tried to run away. As he was tackled to the ground by the officers, he cried out in Spanish, “Please, I’m not a criminal, I work here. I want to be with my family.”

NBC News reported that as he was placed inside an unmarked vehicle, he screamed, “My family has papers! My family and my children! Please! Please!”

One wonders if Jessica Tarlov will be on The Five Monday, or Harold Ford Jr.  TD

Furor Erupts Over Liberal White Woman’s Racist Sign to Protest VA Gov. Candidate Winsome Sears

Legal Insurrection  

Winsome responded. "I’m disgusted, but not surprised. This is the “tolerant” left Abigail Spanberger defends. I’m the sitting Lieutenant Governor, second in command in the former Capitol of the confederate states. I’m an immigrant, a Marine, and above all, a human being. There is no place for this…"

"Winsome Earle-Sears is the current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and also the Republican candidate for governor. When Sears showed up at a school board meeting to talk about transgender issues in education, a liberal white woman was holding a vile sign that read, “Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then blacks can’t share my water fountain.”

"It’s positively stunning that no one thought to tell this woman to get rid of the sign. Winsome Earle-Sears is black; her family came to America from Jamaica in the 1970s.

Gavin Newsom declares war on the Marines

 Mike McDaniel  

"Term limited California Governor Gavin Newsom is running for the Democrat Party nomination for President in 2028. He’s not certain against whom he’ll be running, so he’s running against America. He’s been governing against California for years, so why not extend that kind of governance to the whole country?" . . .

. . . "When government buildings and agents were being overwhelmed by organized rioters in Los Angeles, President Trump lawfully called out the National Guard and active-duty Marines, not to engage in civilian law enforcement, but to protect those facilities and agents. Why the Marines?  They were needed, nearby, and as America’s quick reaction force, immediately ready. He did not violate the Posse Comitatus Act, but freed federal agents to do their jobs enforcing immigration law. Rioters quickly figured out our troops and ICE agents weren’t going to let them do what Newsom so willingly let them do before the troops were deployed. The riots soon petered out and the troops were withdrawn.

"That’s not exactly “bringing war to the American people.”

"Newsom objected every step of the way. He wanted chaos, looting, arson, destruction of property and injured federal agents. He wanted to keep illegal alien criminals in California.

"This is the kind of campaigning Newsom thinks will win the Democrat nomination. He doesn’t know the difference between restoring public order when he fails to do it, and waging war? He’s certainly willing to lie about our Marines to make political points. Unfortunately for Newsom, those points aren’t appreciated outside the Democrat Party, which is increasingly anti-American. He’s certainly right that this kind of slander of the Marines might win the Democrat nomination. If he imagines it will win the presidency, he’s dead wrong. That’s not the way to win the young, male American vote, which is increasingly swinging toward traditional American values and priorities and joining the military." . . .

Cracker Barrel minus "the cracker and the barrel" (UPDATED: 8/23)

Cracker Barrel follows Bud Light off the DEI cliff

"CB will lose a big part of their base while not recouping that volume with new customers from the woke mob. That is not a good thing. After all, what self-respecting leftist would eat at a “Cracker” anything?"

"Cracker Barrel (“CB”) recently announced with great pride (pun intended) that they have become woke and are implementing customer-facing DEI throughout their restaurant chain, a project that has been in the works for about a year. Proving once more that idealistic leftists are oblivious to anything remotely involving sanity. 

"The Left never seems to learn. Their DEI agenda is so important that they willingly crater their own businesses. Even Left-leaning news channels and their famous anchors have learned that they are not immune to this effect. I have doubts about the success of this new direction, for a couple of reasons.

"1) Woke people who pretend to live healthy lives don't eat there anyway -- you know, because of the biscuits, gravy, fried chicken, calories, fat, etc., where just one glass of sweet tea likely has more calories than they consume in a day. Somehow CB thinks taking the "country" out of Cracker Barrel, removing the old white dude and his barrel from the logo, and making the decor look like a latte cafe will entice them in (I have a bridge to sell you).

"2) Their loyal fans, including me, have no interest in overall DEI wokeness when it is an in-your-face action. Hire whoever you wish, as I don’t care about the proclivities of my server or the cook, so no problem there. But I do care about the thinking of leaders who believe this is a good direction to pursue as a business." . . .

Cracker Barrel falls to DEI   "DEI and wokeism are divisive scourges on our society. While there’s some commonsense relief that the mindless leftist onslaught is finally being thwarted, the remaining holdouts infuriate even more -- read the room, already. One such place is Cracker Barrel, and its recalcitrant resistance to robust all-American (especially Southern) values is incongruous with its traditional country motif.

Corporate logos represent a company’s identity, values, and mission. For Cracker Barrel, the iconic logo welcomed good, hearty folks with a nice elderly gentleman (perhaps a patriarch, perish the thought) sitting in a wooden chair beside a barrel upon which his left arm seeks deserved rest. It really conveyed Southern warmth and charm. Now, the logo conveys a bland… never mind, I don’t know what, such is its uninspiring, androgynous-like design. Perhaps the unintended message is “keep driving,” there’s a cozier restaurant around the country bend." . . .

And so it goes...

"The left set out to destroy Cracker Barrel, and one way or another, it succeeded."

Upward News on X: "This is the story of how Cracker Barrel went woke.  . . . "It started in the early 1990s, when Cracker Barrel was caught in a scandal for discriminating against gay workers and customers. As a symbol of the South, the chain quickly became a target for the growing progressive establishment and its new institutions.
"Chief among them was the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), built to rank corporations on their adherence to progressive ideology — a tool to keep companies in line. The former HRC president later admitted that Cracker Barrel was “under fire” from the organization, saying even that was “an understatement.”
"By 2005, Cracker Barrel had a failing grade from HRC. Then came Steve Smotherman, a corporate leader who launched internal LGBTQ reforms, steadily raising the company’s HRC score. He even sat on an HRC advisory council, linking the chain directly to the group’s agenda.
"Over the next two decades, Cracker Barrel reshaped itself — changing internal policies, pulling “controversial” items from stores, blocking certain figures from dining events, funding Pride parades, and chasing higher woke scores." 
.The latest rebrand — removing Americana décor and the white man from its logo to make the chain “more welcoming” — is not a fresh marketing pivot. It’s the culmination of a decades-long effort to bring Cracker Barrel into the good graces of the progressive establishment. . .

. . . "This means that this wasn't just a really bad idea from a restaurant looking to update itself. This was a years-long campaign to pressure and pull Cracker Barrel into ridding itself of its Southern personality and adopt a more neutral personality that pleased hard-leftists, many of whom don't frequent those restaurants anyway.

"And without waiting for time to pass to see if it helps improve the restaurant's attendance, I can make the safe assumption that this pivot in the name of pleasing the most unpleasable people in the world is going to drive away whatever loyal base it had left. People who liked the restaurant for its Southern charm and likely felt it was relatable will probably no longer find it speaks to them. 

"More than that, anyone who catches on that this rebrand was done to please an LGBTQ+ bullying organization will likely turn their back on it on principle." . . .

The Light Shines On Another Obama Scandal

 Issues & Insights  

"Funny thing, Democrats tend to get away with gross misconduct because the media aren’t interested in demanding accountability from their heroes."

"Weren’t we assured that Barack Obama went “into and out of office with not a whiff of scandal”? Yes we were. Former Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen told us so, as did many others. But it wasn’t true. There are many, the most recent a claim that Obama, and then Joe Biden, pressured bank executives to deny services to conservatives. It’s a serious charge that, like the Russia hoax, makes Watergate look like a sandbox squabble.

"Here’s what we’ve learned: According to Fox Business, major bank executives said “they were under pressure by the Obama and Biden administrations to deny services to individuals and businesses for political reasons.”

"One executive said the “pressures were very, very real. When your regulator gives you a suggestion, it’s not a suggestion, it’s an order. The political stuff is very real, those pressures are real.”

This is known as “political debanking” and is “the involuntary termination of banking services to individuals and organizations based on their political or religious views,” says Todd J. Zywicki, a professor at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, who further “argues that access to financial services is a prerequisite for exercising constitutional rights.”

Zywicki’s March paper “traces the rise of political debanking from the Obama administration’s Operation Choke Point, which targeted disfavored industries under the guise of ‘reputation risk.’” It was expanded under Biden administration, during which “Melania Trump and Michael Flynn faced account closures for their political stances.”

Other “high-profile cases” included “the cancellation of accounts tied to Donald Trump Jr.’s events and the National Committee for Religious Freedom,” and “illustrate a growing weaponization of the financial system to suppress dissent.”  . . .

Hakeem Jeffries Threatens to Unmask ICE Agents: ‘Every Single One … Will Be Identified’

 The Jewish Voice 

"House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D) is seemingly threatening to unmask Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, many of whom work undercover operations, saying Democrats  will expose their identities “no matter what it takes.”


. . . "During a press conference this week, Jeffries claimed that Democrats would seek out the identities of ICE agents who work to enforce federal immigration law by locating, arresting, and deporting illegal aliens — often violent, convicted criminals." . . .

. . . "Jeffries’ comments and other inflammatory remarks by Democrats come as ICE agents have faced a massive spike in assaults at the hands of illegal aliens they are tasked with arresting.

"Last month, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed that ICE agents have suffered a 413-percent increase in assaults in recent months.

"Meanwhile, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) recently referred to ICE agents as “Trump’s modern Gestapo,” a reference to secret police deployed by Adolf Hitler’s National Socialist regime in Nazi Germany.". . . Comments below:

  1. Why are you not focused, Hakeem, on unmasking the illegal criminals in your state and cooperating in their expeditious deportation, instead of on the brave DHS employees trying to do their job? The majority of American Citizens are not with you and perhaps you will be voted out.


  2. Hakeem sir, Federal law says title 18 section 119 states that it is a federal crime to release or even threaten to release the Identity of ANY Federal employees private information with the intent to intimidate, harass or incite violence. So you sir have just broken a federal law, I believe you should do the American thing and turn yourself in, like you said we are not the soviet union and this isn’t the 1930’s.

  3. U.S. Congressman Threatens to Expose ICE Agents [who are] Facing Death Threats - TFPP Wire. . . "There’s no excuse—no justification—for a sitting member of Congress to threaten the safety of federal law enforcement officers.

    Hakeem Jeffries’ promise to expose ICE agents, knowing full well they’re under attack, crosses a line that no public official should ever approach.

    It’s not just reckless; it’s vile.

    ICE agents wear masks for the same reason undercover FBI or CIA agents would: to stay alive.

    These are men and women doing the job the American people demanded—enforcing immigration laws and protecting national security.

    They’re not hiding because they’re doing something wrong; they’re protecting their families from activists who have threatened violence.

    When someone like Jeffries uses his platform not to defend the rule of law but to put law enforcement in greater danger, he betrays the very public he claims to serve.

    These agents aren’t criminals—they’re Americans enforcing the law." 

  4. Hakeem Jeffries makes worrying threat against ICE agents as protesters interfere with operations   . . . "People are out there taking photos of the names, their faces, and posting them online with death threats to their family and themselves. So I’m sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks, but I’m not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line, and their family on the line, because people don’t like what immigration enforcement is," Lyons explained." . . .

  5.  Democrats don't want good moral character in immigrants  . . . "That’s why Normal Americans are so disgusted by Democrats who not only allowed anyone and everyone into the country during Biden’s Handler’s Administration, but are desperate to keep them all, particularly the worst of the worst criminals. For them, citizenship is a cheap carnival prize, a political token to be handed out to secure political power and money.

    "That’s why their heads are exploding over a recent Trump order to ensure all legal immigrants have “good moral character.” . . .
