Has there ever in US history been a more pitiful Cabinet?

This administration has done more damage in two months than any previous administration did in two years or two terms.  We are no longer to be energy independent.  There are no borders, so we are no longer a sovereign nation.  Biden has put tens of thousands of people out of work — the pipeline, the wall, the 80 million acres of federal land he has declared no longer available for oil or gas exploration. 

Patricia McCarthy  "Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski have once again betrayed the American people and voted to confirm one of the most insidious persons ever nominated to a Cabinet position, "Rachel" Levine.  He will now be the assistant secretary of health.  Levine was as toxic as N.Y. Gov. Cuomo when it came to rendering Pennsylvania nursing homes super-spreaders of COVID, but he put his own mother in a hotel.  He knew what he was doing as surely as Cuomo did.

"There is much to condemn this appointment, but most serious is Levine's promotion of medication and surgery for pre-pubescent children with gender dysphoria.  Sane people realize that this is perhaps the most despicable form of child abuse that has currently won favor among trans activists.  Surely, both Murkowski and Collins know full well that the vast majority of the American people do not support such extremist views, but they apparently wanted to appear to be sufficiently "woke."

"We are all beginning to realize, too late, that being woke is a form of mass hysteria meant to undermine every essential tenet of Judeo-Christian values.  Being "woke" means adopting the new rules of the cancel culture, remaking America according to the whims of BLM and Antifa.  BLM is a Marxist, anti-American, anti–nuclear family organization that is specifically pro-transgender.  So Collins and Murkowski have revealed their inner anti-Americanism, a blatant betrayal of their constituents. " . . .

The Unfit President  The term gaslighting is used often in this article.

We ain’t seen nothin’ yet.  H.R. 1 (institutionalizing elections fraud), backdooring the Green New Deal, trillions in profligate spending, packing SCOTUS, gun control, and statehood for D.C. are in the offing.  Democrats aim to muscle through these terrible initiatives.    

 


Babylon Bee Relentlessly Hammers CNN After Journalist Frets Over Their Higher Social Media Share Counts

 

RedState "The more the Babylon Bee gets attacked by so-called “fact checkers” and mainstream media types, the more it punches back with a vengeance.

"My RedState colleague Brad Slager wrote earlier this week about how CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan was doing quite a bit of fretting over the weekend after analyzing the amount of social media shares a recent Babylon Bee article received in comparison to “real” media outlets during the same week:" . . .

The NY Times vs Babylon Bee:

 The New York Times Attacks the Babylon Bee Once Again, Probably Now Wishes They Hadn't   . . . "But when Mr. Trump was elected, months later, the outrage that his victory sparked quickly became a funnier punchline to the Babylon Bee than the man himself. Shortly after the election, the site’s writers joked that millennial protesters calmed down after they were given participation trophies; they wrote that a survey of the Women’s March participants indicated “100 percent of people marching on Washington were not aborted.”

"Today, the Babylon Bee has built a fan base among Republican lawmakers and even in the White House." . . .

The testing of Joe Biden

 

This Week Biden Proved To The World He’s A Foreign Policy DISASTER  . . . "In a February speech to the State Dept. employees, President Biden said, ” America is back.  Diplomacy is back at the center of our foreign policy.”  But this week, Biden and his team have proven they are a foreign policy disaster.

"During a Wednesday interview with ABC News, Biden undiplomatically said Russian President Putin is a “killer.” While Putin is a killer,  making a very public personal attack on a foreign leader is not the way to start a relationship with major world power and potential enemy." . . .

. . . "Then came China, a world power that has declared its intention of overtaking the United States as the most powerful in the world. Biden’s secretary of state, Antony Blinken, met with his Chinese counterpart in Alaska and had to listen to China’s trashing of America. Blinken made it a priority to use a public diplomatic meeting between the two nations as an opportunity to pat his own administration on the back, take a swing at the prior administration, and ignore what it promised China what it would publicly discuss at the meeting." . . .

YANG: Well, I think we thought too well of the United States. We thought that the U.S. side will follow the necessary diplomatic protocols. So for China it was necessary that we make our position clear. So let me say here that in front of the Chinese Side, the United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength.   . . . 

 Mexican President Criticizes Biden’s Immigration Policies, Blames Him for the Border Surge  "The President of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, said at a press conference that he considered Joe Biden’s immigration policies to be the primary cause of the unprecedented surge of illegal aliens at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent weeks, as reported by Fox News.

"Obrador made the remarks at a press conference, saying that “expectations were created that with the government of Biden there would be a better treatment of migrants. And this has caused Central American migrants, and also from our country, wanting to cross the border thinking that it is easier to do so.”

"Biden campaigned on giving free handouts to illegal aliens if he became president, including giving them free education and free healthcare funded by American taxpayers. Since taking power, Biden has reversed numerous Trump-era policies that successfully cracked down on illegal immigration, including catch-and-release and the “remain in Mexico” policy to keep asylum seekers from flooding American border facilities. But since then, there has been a historic spike in illegals flooding the border, dramatically overcrowding detention facilities and setting up what some experts are predicting could be the biggest surge in illegal immigration in over 20 years." . . . 

What North Korea’s First Missile Test during the Biden Administration Means  . . . "The potential replacement for Kim, should something happen to incapacitate the morbidly obese dictator, said that if the Biden administration “wants to sleep in peace for the coming four years, it had better refrain from causing a stink.” Nevertheless, President Biden literally laughed off media questions about the missile tests." . . .

 


Asian Women Are Too Damn Hot!

 Until then, I’m begging you, white men, please, for the love of God, STOP turning liberal women into your sexual fantasies!!!
Asian woman robbed, dragged by car in San Francisco

 Ann Coulter  "Does anyone else find it odd that so many Asian activists reacted to the mass murder of (mostly) Asian women last week by talking about how smoking hot they are?

"I was at law school when I first noticed the phenomenon of liberal women pretending to be outraged as a cover for bragging. Average-to-ugly girls would work up feigned indignation about how a guy had “sexually harassed” them that day, then launch into a 20-minute retelling of some compliment they’d received. A man talked to me! I think he likes me … Let’s see, how do I work this into conversation for the rest of the week?

"But it’s a peculiar reaction to mass murder.

"Now that a white supremacist mass shooter (check that, turns out he was a radical Islamic Syrian refugee!) has committed a different mass murder in Boulder, Colorado, will we see hippies on TV, denouncing the assumption that Birkenstock-wearers are all sex gods?

"No, of course not! Only liberals would think an appropriate response to an infamous crime is to talk about how sexually desirable they are. Liberalism makes everybody stupid." . . . More...

Barack Hussein Obama totally ignores the fact that a SYRIAN MUSLIM immigrant carried out the Colorado mass shooting and instead blames the massacre on “disaffection, racism, and misogyny”

. . . "The hate for whites has been going on for decades; intensified under the Great RACE DIVER Obama, and became terrifying in the last four years. Every day, whites are vilified as having “White Privilege”. The malicious WAR on WHITES is waged in America, Britain, Europe and other countries." . . .

Democrats vs. the Filibuster

 


Reason:  Will Democrats Really Nuke the Filibuster—and What Happens If They Do?   "The Senate, unlike the House, permits a minority of its members to block bills supported by a majority. Specifically, Rule 22 requires three-fifths of the Senate (60 senators) to vote to end a filibuster by invoking cloture on a bill. To end a filibuster of a proposal to change the Senate's rules, Rule 22 says you need even more votes: two thirds of the senators present and voting. (Normally that's 67 people.) In effect, Republicans can block a final vote on Democratic priorities because the Senate's rules require more votes to end debate on a bill than they do to approve it.
"A growing number of Biden's supporters want Senate Democrats to abolish the filibuster through another route: the so-called nuclear option. This is a procedural maneuver senators can use to ignore, circumvent, or otherwise change the Senate's standing rules by a simple majority vote in direct violation of those rules. Basically, they create a new precedent that is inconsistent with Rule 22 but nevertheless supersedes it." . . .
. . . "That said, the GOP's past behavior may undermine the credibility of McConnell's threat: Republicans did not retaliate when Democrats used the nuclear option in 2013, and they used it themselves in 2017 and 2019. The specific nature of McConnell's threat may also weaken its deterrent effect: By signaling that a Republican majority would be likely to go nuclear in the future, it could lead Democrats to discount the utility of adhering to the rules in the present." . . .

Biden Now Supports Ending Filibuster, Held Meeting On How ‘Big,’ ‘Fast’ He Can ‘Jam Through’ Agenda: Report   . . ."The push for Senate Democrats to eliminate the filibuster is reportedly being led by a massive far-left dark money group. The Free Beacon reports:

Fix Our Senate is steering a coalition of 60 progressive groups to pressure moderate Democrats to eliminate the filibuster, which requires a 60-vote supermajority to advance legislation. The group is a project of the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a nonprofit incubator managed by the D.C.-based consulting firm Arabella Advisors. Arabella’s network of funds is used by the nation’s wealthiest liberal donors to secretly bankroll a host of progressive initiatives.  …

Kamala Harris To Host Event On Empowering Women With Bill Clinton Despite Epstein Associations And #MeToo Accusations

 Daily Caller

. . . "Harris is set to speak with Clinton despite the former president having faced allegations of rape and sexual assault from multiple women spanning decades.

"Clinton was also close associates with convicted pedophile and sex-trafficking billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton has remained largely silent regarding the flights that he took on Epstein’s private jet, which reportedly offered passengers young girls for sex.

"In January 2020, the U.S. Sun published an article that showed a photo of Clinton standing on Epstein’s plane with a young girl, Chauntae Davies, who is mentioned by the Sun to have been Epstein’s “sex slave.” Additional photos of the president with Epstein’s victims, including one of Clinton receiving a shoulder rub, have since been leaked." . . .

Dept. of Homeland Security flirting with totalitarianism

Ben Garrison

Thomas Lifson  "Now that the Department of Justice and FBI are using the 1/6/21 Capitol incursion to demonize all who attended the massive rally that day, imputing “insurrection,” “white supremacy,” and “extremism” to them, massive political repression may be coming. Consider this from Politico:

The Department of Homeland Security is considering monitoring the travel of domestic extremists and expanding its use of the No Fly List, law enforcement sources told POLITICO.

The discussions are part of the Biden administration’s strategy of treating domestic terror as a national security threat, and not just a law enforcement problem. They're also part of broader conversations in government about how to use tools developed for the Global War on Terror to combat domestic extremism. And, if past is prologue, the approach could prove politically contentious.

"Don't forget that the head of the DHS, Alejandro Mayorkas, has shown himself to be a willing liar in service to the powers running the Biden regime." . . .

Looking at The American Rescue Plan Act

 

https://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Forbes: Breaking Down The Tax Provisions Of The American Rescue Plan Act

There's a lot more subtlety that you have to take into account right now. We can expect a lot of stimulus from this. But at some point the economy may get jammed up on capacity and the stimulus stops taking effect and the inflation takes over.  That's what people are concerned about.

Pelosi ‘Excited’ To Pass COVID Bill With $600 Million Bailout For San Francisco: ‘I Just Can’t Hide It’  ". . . The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan includes $600 million for San Francisco — where Pelosi’s district is located — $1.7 billion for Amtrak and $470 million for museums. Biden is reportedly set to sign the COVID relief bill into effect Friday."

Republican Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey recently criticized the legislation’s wasteful spending, while House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy described the approximately 600-page bill as “The Pelosi Payoff.”

Latest Stimulus about Politics, not the Economy  . . . "The sad reality is that they, or someone else, will have to pay the bill in the future. The impact of this unrestrained borrowing and spending will eventually be realized in negative consequences for America, but as we have seen all too often, it will take a crisis to stop it."

Silly Democrats

 Duckworth threatens Biden nominees over lack of diversity  "Sen. Tammy Duckworth on Tuesday said the lack of Asian-American or Pacific Islander representation in President Joe Biden’s cabinet is “not acceptable” and threatened to withhold her vote on key nominations until the administration addresses the matter.

"Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat, told reporters that she raised her concerns to White House officials earlier on Tuesday.

"Her threat to withhold support could complicate matters for Biden as moves forward with other high-level administration and judicial appointments that require Senate confirmation in an evenly divided Senate where Vice President Kamala Harris holds a tie-breaking vote." . . .

Kamala Harris’ Niece Like Most, Jumped To Conclusions And Assumed The Shooter
Was White…  
“ 'V[i]olent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country,” she wrote." (Right)

Obama Blames ISIS Inspired Attack On “Disaffection, Racism & Misogyny”  Generated by the shooter, may we assume?


IT’S OFFICIAL: Barack Obama Is In Biden’s Ear – And The White House Just Confirmed It  . . . "During her press briefing on Monday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted that the two men “consult and talk about a range of issues”.  

“President Obama is taking part in an event for the affordable care act in about an hour…The question is…has he visited the White House, or do you know how often he has spoken to President Biden?” the reporter asked

“ 'I will say, having a unique view of this question, they were not just President and Vice President. they are friends,” Psaki began.

“ 'They consult and talk about a range of issues and I would expect that continues through the course of President Biden’s presidency,” she added." . . .

Suspect in Boulder mass shooting identified as Ahmad Al-Issa

So much for "White Supremacy".

 The Post Millennial

"It was reported that, according to a White House source, Al-Issa "had "ISIS sympathies.' "


"This is a breaking story and will be updated." . . .

Police on Tuesday identified a 21-year-old Muslim man, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, as the suspect in the killing of 10 people at a Boulder, Colorado, supermarket.
Now we know why it took so long for them to identify him. Watch how fast this story disappears from the sharia-compliant media. Gee, I wonder what the motive was? Oh, that’s right, it will soon be dismissed as “mental issues.”
"The top prosecutor also said that Alissa appears to be the only suspect, and Harold added that he was not known to police prior to the slaughter." . . .
I’ll bet anyone my salary right now that the shooter in Boulder is a right wing, MAGA, white male.

UK Mail: On Facebook, Alissa complained about not having a girlfriend. He also ranted against President Donald Trump's immigration policies


. . . Harrowing emergency radio obtained by the Colorado Sun revealed some of the initial moments as Officer Talley arrived to the scene. 

 ' 'Shooter is inside!' an officer frantically called out from inside the store. 'He just shot at us twice.' 

 "A few seconds later someone says over the radio: 'Officer down inside the building!'

"As the incident unfolded, officers from the Boulder Police Department warned locals to 'avoid the area'.

"One person was taken from the shooting scene to Foothills Hospital in Boulder, said Rich Sheehan, spokesman for Boulder Community Health, which operates the hospital. 

"However, they did not release the condition of the patient. 

"One video of the incident from YouTube shows two victims lying on the ground in the parking lot of the store. 

"At least one victim is seen lying on the floor inside the store just moments before more gunshots are heard. Local reports say one victim is a police officer. " . . . 

John Cleese hits out at ‘stifling’ political correctness: ‘Can you tell me a woke joke?’

UK Metro

"Monty Python icon John Cleese has criticised the ‘stifling’ nature of political correctness, wondering whether such a thing as a ‘woke joke’ exists.

" The 80-year-old star mused that ‘affectionate teasing’ is a bonding mechanism, and dismissed the notion that societies should be driven by the ‘most easily upset’.

"Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Thursday, he said: ‘PC stuff started out as a good idea, which is, “Let’s not be mean to people”, and I’m in favour of that, believe it or not, despite my age. I think Jesus Christ would have agreed. 

" ‘The main thing is to try to be kind.’ 

"Supporting Nick Cave’s comments on cancel culture, he went on: ‘But that then becomes a sort of indulgence of the most over-sensitive people in your culture, the people who are most easily upset. 

" ‘I don’t think we should organise a society around the sensibilities of the most easily upset people because then you have a very neurotic society.’ The Fawlty Towers star added: ‘From the point of creativity, if you have to keep thinking which words you can use and which you can’t, then that will stifle creativity. I entirely agree with those thoughts.’ "  More...

The Death of Escapism - Warner Brothers Wants to Create More Woke TV Programming

 Brad Slager

"You will bow to social activism, one way or another.

"We have almost become conditioned to it by now — or at the very least we have learned to recognize and avoid when a new activist product is coming our way in the entertainment realm. The ongoing insurgence of earnest messages, community awareness, and/or social lectures being injected into our cultural diversions is only going to get broader. 

"A major studio has just announced it intends to do more than slip in the occasional storyline or populate the cast with a character from a proper interest group. Warners is teaming up with a Yale professor, Dr. Phillip Atiba Goff, to create content from scratch based on social activism. They intend to create entire products rooted in and concerning social justice.

"What this specifically entails is difficult to state, given that they are strictly in the creative phase right now, but also because the descriptions of their intentions are full of vague word-salad proclamations. Goff is the CEO of the Center for Policing Equity, as well as having a creative team entitled JuticeRx. They will be creating entertainment that will ‘’help people get free’’. Who they are referring to who is not free is not explained.

"According to Goff these new projects will serve as important touchstones for social improvement." . . .

Even a favorite show of my family, "When Calls the Heart" is woke in its portrayal of men and women. Most episodes can have several incidents of clueless men being put in their place by wiser, more 21st century-aware women. But at least we have not seen women beating up men like a cop show would. TD
