Women, what has being Democrats done to you?

"It’s worth noting in passing that even the private Sidwell Friends School in D.C., which is chock full of the children of Democratic officials (like the Obamas) and functionaries was the site of an anti-Semitic incident this week. A teacher at the same school earlier harassed the Republican EPA head at a local restaurant. The apples are not falling far from the Democrats' tree." Clarice Feldman

Clarice Feldman: Democrats Working for Trump's Re-Election 

"I find it impossible to disagree with Ryan Saavedra’s Twitter observation:  

"The Democratic Party, which has called everything under the sun a “Nazi” for the last 3 years, all of a sudden can’t muster up the spine to condemn blatant anti-Semitism within their own party.”

"It’s been in the works for years under the cloak of intersectionality -- in truth little more than an effort to ingather voting blocs of illegal immigrants, Palestinian supporters, socialists, blacks locked in the ghettoes of their minds, sexual outliers – LGBT (and "whatever other gender” now included), and malcontent women delighted that even post-birth abortion will be legal. 

"The three harpies -- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib -- have stripped the veil from the Democratic tango dancers and presented House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with a dilemma: Who to bow to -- the Congressional Black Caucus without whose votes she would not have her position, or the weak-spined moderates and Jewish House members who might mouth objections but still will continue to vote with the party? From the standpoint of her own interests she chose wisely by endorsing an outrageous resolution. I believe and hope that she chose poorly from the standpoint of American voters." . . .

Covington Lawyer Reveals Plan to File Suit Against CNN Likely Next Week…

The Last Refuge  "The lawyer representing Covington High School student Nick Sandmann has told Fox News he plans to file a lawsuit against CNN likely next week.

"According to Fox News, lawyer L Lin Wood discussed his intentions for a more than $250 million lawsuit in an upcoming broadcast interview with host Mark Levin:

CNN is likely to be hit with a massive lawsuit worth more than $250 million over alleged “vicious” and “direct attacks” on Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann, his lawyer has told Fox News.

Lawyer L. Lin Wood discussed his decision to sue CNN for its reporting and coverage of his client during an interview that will air on Fox News Channel’s “Life, Liberty & Levin” on Sunday at 10 p.m. ET.

[…] “CNN was probably more vicious in its direct attacks on Nicholas than The Washington Post. And CNN goes into millions of individuals’ homes.”

[…] “They really went after Nicholas with the idea that he was part of a mob that was attacking the Black Hebrew Israelites, yelling racist slurs at the Black Hebrew Israelites. Totally false.

“Now you say you’ve seen the tape; if you took the time to look at the full context of what happened that day, Nicholas Sandmann did absolutely nothing wrong. He was, as I’ve said to others, he was the only adult in the room. But you have a situation where CNN couldn’t resist the idea that here’s a guy with a young boy, that Make America Great Again cap on. So they go after him.”

How liberals would stop the invasion

But liberals are thinkers. Their solution would be to look at the problem. People come here to escape "violence and poverty".  Ah, that is the problem. Never mind that most illegal aliens ultimately wind up in ghettos of violence and poverty run by Democrats.

Don Surber  "The New York Times reported, "The number of migrant families crossing the southwest border has once again broken records, with unauthorized entries nearly doubling what they were a year ago, suggesting that the Trump administration’s aggressive policies have not discouraged new migration to the United States.
"More than 76,000 migrants crossed the border without authorization in February, an 11-year high and a strong sign that stepped-up prosecutions, new controls on asylum and harsher detention policies have not reversed what remains a powerful lure for thousands of families fleeing violence and poverty."
"Any rational person would recognize that this is a crisis requiring immediate action.
"But we do not send rational people to Washington. We send people who defend antisemitism as "criticizing Israel."
"Instead of calling them insane, we call them liberals. They are extremists whose solutions never solve the problem.

Left Attacks Trump For Signing Bibles For Victims Of Tornado In Alabama

Weasel Zippers

"Get a life. Via Daily Caller:

President Donald Trump signed a handful of Bibles while visiting tornado-ravaged Lee County, Alabama, and the critics were quick to pounce.

MSNBC kicked off Saturday morning with a segment that was highly critical of the move.

Joe Watkins, former White House aide to President George H.W. Bush — who also happens to be a pastor — said he would “not be inclined to sign someone’s holy book.” He did, however, note that the people asking Trump to sign their Bibles did not appear to be bothered by it.

Former Obama White House aide Will Jawando added, “I’m of the opinion that only Jesus should be signing a Bible.”

Linda Sarsour Explains How She Influenced Democratic Leadership To Scrap Original Anti-Semitism Resolution

Daily Caller  . . . "The Women’s March co-founder attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last Tuesday for initially allowing the anti-Semitism resolution, saying in a Facebook post, “Nancy is a typical white feminist upholding the patriarchy doing the dirty work of powerful white men. God forbid the men are upset – no worries, Nancy to the rescue to stroke their egos.”

"Democrats argued with one another last Wednesday over the resolution’s language. Washington Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal, the progressive caucus’s leader, did not want Omar’s name in the resolution, while a number of Jewish members reportedly pushed to include it. Ultimately, the resolution omitted Omar’s name.

According to Sarsour on Friday, she and her fellow organizers worked behind the scenes to change the original intent of the non-binding resolution by the end of the week. (RELATED: Democrat Anti-Hate Resolution Passes House)" . . .

Women’s March co-founder Linda Sarsour explained Friday how she and other left-wing organizers influenced the final language of the “anti-hate” resolution that passed the House Thursday night.

A free republic under this Constitutional form of government depends on Western cultural values to function. We see here that in this time, Islamic values go head to head with this Constitution and dominate a government that requires the willing cooperation of  its citizens. Tell me how you disagree with this statement. TD

Linda Sarsour Gives Orders To CAIR Who Then Block Reporter From Questioning Rep. Rashida Tlaib   "Video has surfaced showing Islamic supremacist, anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour ordering associates to block a reporter from entering the office of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. 

"Asra Nomani, a journalist and leader in the Muslim Reform Movement, documented her attempt to enter Rep. Tlaib’s office along with others and how she was physically blocked from entering.

"Tlaib is very cozy with the Islamist organization. She is a regular at CAIR fundraising events across the country.

"That same day, Sarsour was pictured in front of anti-Semitic Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s office. In the photo, taken by the radical-left, anti-Israel Jewish Voice for Peace group, she is flanked by the Hamas-supporting CAIR officials, Jinan Shbat and Nihad Awad." . . .

Micky Goodfella Cohen won’t take out Donald Trump

Niall Ferguson

The president’s ex-lawyer squeals, but no one knows when this show ends

. . . "Now imagine a similar exercise in March 2019. On what date will Donald J Trump leave the office of president? If, as in 1941, the majority of your seven senators were Democrats, I would guess that at least three would predict January 20, 2021 — the day the constitution requires Trump to hand over the White House if he is defeated in the 2020 election. But I doubt they would all say that.

"Senate Democrats are under instructions not to talk about impeaching Trump, but I am sure more than a handful think about it. So perhaps two out of seven would go for an earlier date, perhaps some time next year. But that would leave two pessimists. The first might say January 20, 2025, acknowledging that the president they love to hate could win a second term. The most pessimistic of them all, having read all those overwrought articles from two years ago about the coming Trump tyranny, might write “never”.

"One great benefit of recording such political wagers is that, years later, they can remind historians that the familiar past they study was once the uncertain future. We all know the United States eventually joined the fight against Axis powers. But that did not seem inevitable to many Americans, even in March 1941. In the same way, no one should pretend to know for sure how long the Trump presidency will last." . . .

Anti-Semitism Is Wrong, Even When a Designated Victim Like Ilhan Omar Does It

PJ Media

. . . And now the same process is happening with the Dems' purported opposition to anti-Semitism. If you haven't been following along, here's a quick recap of what just happened in Washington: Ilhan Omar is loudly and proudly anti-Semitic, her colleagues refuse to condemn it, and now, somehow, it's the Republicans' fault.

"I'm not Jewish, and I don't pretend to know what it's like to be Jewish. What I do know is that anti-Semitism is a litmus test to decide whether a person is capable of acting in good faith. If you genuinely believe that Jews have hypnotized the world, that anybody who disagrees has been bought off with Jewish money, and that Americans who criticize such rhetoric are more loyal to Israel than their own country -- all of which are things Ilhan Omar has said -- then there's just no reasoning with you. You are an insane bigot. I don't care if you're wearing a hijab or a MAGA hat, an anti-Semite is an anti-Semite.

How many and who would qualify for reparations?

"By pushing for compensatory reparations, Warren and Harris may be helping themselves, but they are further splitting their party along the lines of ethnicity and race and elevating an issue certain to divide their country more than it already is." 

Patrick J. Buchanan   "Having embraced “Medicare-for-all,” free college tuition and a Green New Deal that would mandate an early end of all oil, gas and coal-fired power plants, the Democratic Party’s lurch to the left rolls on.

" 'Presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren both called last week for race-based reparations for slavery. 

“ 'Centuries of slavery, Jim Crow, legal discrimination and segregation, and discrimination that exist today have led to a systemic wealth gap between black and white Americans,” Harris told The New York Times. “I’m serious about taking an approach that would change policies and structures and make real investments in black communities.”

"Echoed Sen. Warren: “We must confront the dark history of slavery and government-sanctioned discrimination in this country.” This history has crippled “the ability of black families to build wealth in America for generations.”

"That black Americans are handicapped by their history in this country, and cannot accumulate wealth as easily, and require compensatory reparations for slavery and segregation, is more than a controversial assertion." . . . 

. . . "Warren says Native Americans, too, must be “part of the conversation.” Apparently, they suffer from a similar handicap and need the same reparations.

"How far and fast has the Democratic Party lunged leftward? In 2016, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders all rejected reparations.

"Have Warren and Harris thought this through?"  . . .

Dear Diary… Jim Acosta Posts Mournful Photo of Dark, Empty White House Press Briefing Room

The Gateway Pundit  "CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta posted a photo Friday night of a dark, empty White House James S. Brady Press Briefing Room with the mournful caption, “The WH briefing room as it’s basically been for months. We see WH staffers taking pictures in here from time to time. There was one key official doing just that tonight. But it’s not really used for briefings anymore.' ”  
. . . 

"The White House press briefings were being used by some reporters to boost their marketability by being openly hostile and contemptuous of Trump’s press secretaries–and of Trump himself.

"Acosta briefly had his White House hard pass taken from him over his abusive behavior during a press conference by Trump on November 7 last year." . . .

Time for Republicans to 'Resist'

Image: Tom Hilton via Flickr.

Keith Edwards  " 'Resist" has been the mantra and game plan for Democrats against Donald Trump and a Republican-led House and Senate since the 2016 elections.  With few exceptions, literally everything President Trump and the Republicans have tried to do has been met with resistance by Democrats along partisan party lines.

"Since the Democrats won back the House in 2018, they have become giddy with anticipation of impeaching President Trump.  Control of the House now gives Democrats control of committees and the power to investigate and subpoena witnesses.  So it's not surprising that the first order of business for a Democrat House is to investigate every aspect of President Trump's personal life, campaign, presidency, and business dealings in a fishing expedition in hopes of finding (or creating) something criminal or impeachable.

"For starters, the House Judiciary Committee has sent out 81 subpoenas to anyone who was remotely involved in President Trump's campaign and administration.  It's not surprising that House Judiciary Committee Democrat chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York made it clear in an interview on ABC News's This Week that he thinks President Trump is guilty of impeachable offenses.  However, when pressed by George Stephanopoulos on that point, Nadler essentially admitted they haven't found any evidence yet — but they will.  

"President Trump calls what Nadler and fellow Democrats are doing "presidential harassment."

"With the shoe now on the other foot, Republicans should now Resist everything the Democrat-led House tries to do, beginning the resistance with the 81 people who have been subpoenaed by the House Judiciary Committee refusing to answer any questions by citing their constitutional rights under the Fifth Amendment."

Can we please get rid of daylight savings time?

Thomas Lifson  "Tonight we lose sleep thanks to the start of daylight savings time, an annual circadian rhythm disruption that results in excess deaths from sleep deprivation-related causes such as car accidents and heart attacks, a negative economic impact from reduced spending, not to mention widespread grumpiness, bleary eyes, headaches, and other discomforts. First implemented in Germany and Austria-Hungary in World War I, and the USA followed, the whole enterprise is premised on the idea of saving energy by eliminating the need for artificial light for an extra hour in the evening. 

"Unfortunately, the evidence indicates that in practice no energy savings result.

"Like many people, getting enough sleep is a serious issue for me, and a struggle every day to get to bed and asleep early enough. The last thing I need is to lose another hour of sleep.

"Isn’t there a political constituency for dumping DST?  Two states, Arizona and Hawaii, already do not observe Daylight Savings Time, but where are the brave members of the House and Senate to introduce legislation mandating a national end to this absurd practice? I’d welcome hearings on the subject.

"Of course, it has nothing to do with removing Trump from office, so Democrats in the House probably are not interested.

"Still, it is time to end this ridiculous, costly ordeal."

Democrats Cave To Radicals, Condemn Everything

All stuff you can't make up. How can so few who know so little lead so many of the left through the door plainly marked "Ignorance"? (My apologies to Rep. Mazie Hirono for speaking without permission) TD

Daily Caller  "Democrats were unwilling to simply condemn anti-Semitism because too many of their members don’t have a problem with hatred of Jews and Israel. In order to spare herself embarrassment and a rebellion, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi turned a simple resolution into a left-wing fever dream. What finally passed the House, after much delay, was a condemnation of everything except anti-Christian bigotry.

"Immediately following the vote, Ilhan Omar, whose latest anti-Semitic comments led to the resolution debate in the first place, announced a joint statement with other bigoted Democrats that remained unrepentant. It was pathetic and we have all the audio." . . .

"She's taking aim at all sorts of people, including the unlikely target of Barack Hussein Obama when during a recent interview with Politico, she said (emphasis mine):

We can't be only upset with Trump. … His policies are bad, but many of the people who came before him also had really bad policies.  They just were more polished than he was[.] ... And that's not what we should be looking for anymore.  We don't want anybody to get away with murder because they are polished.  We want to recognize the actual policies that are behind the pretty face and the smile.

"Indeed.  Focus on the policies.  Beware the pretty face and smile.  Back at you, Ms. Omar.  And we're on to you." . . .
