Senate Democrats Will Boycott Judge Barrett’s Committee Vote Tomorrow

Hot Air

Der Schumerglower

"Tomorrow the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. At least that’s what Republicans on the committee will be doing. Democrats have decided they will boycott the vote as a way to signal their displeasure with the outcome:

The plan hasn’t been finalized yet, according to a Democratic aide, but Democrats are preparing to fill their empty seats with poster-sized photos of people who would be hurt by Barrett potentially casting a deciding vote against the Affordable Care Act. These would be the same pictures of people Democrats had on display during Barrett’s confirmation hearing last week.

Democrats also intend to hold two press conferences to push back on Barrett’s confirmation ― one on the Capitol steps and one on the Supreme Court steps. They will go to one or both of these pressers during the committee vote, according to the Democratic aide.

"Sen. Schumer has been doing his best today to signal he’s prepared to fight to the bitter end:

"Democrats made it very clear last week that they were very unhappy with Sen. Dianne Feinstein after she closed the confirmation hearings with praise for Sen. Lindsey Graham followed by a hug. It was bad enough they were going to lose, but to lose with grace and decency was just too much. There were lots of calls for Feinstein to immediately resign:" . . .

I really can't get over what a betrayal this moment was to the thousands (millions?) of progressive activists who have worked their asses off fighting Barrett's confirmation tooth and nail. Feinstein should be ashamed, and she should step down immediately. https://t.co/uPVDeQgrlC

Gretchen Whitmer THREATENS LOCKDOWNS Unless Joe Biden Is ELECTED. How Is This Person A Governor?

 Whatfinger

Whitmer Accuses Trump Of ‘Domestic Terrorism  . . . “If you’re tired of lockdowns, or you’re tired of wearing masks, or you wish you were in church this morning or watching college football or your kids were in-person instruction, it is time for change in this country, and that’s why we’ve got to elect Joe Biden,” Whitmer said while appearing on “Meet The Press.”

 "She went on to blast President Donald Trump, accusing him of inciting violence and being incompetent.

“ 'The Trump virus response is the worst in the globe — I mean, in the world it’s the worst,” Whitmer said. “Eight million people have contracted COVID-19, 220,000 dead. We’ve got people in food pantry lines who never would have imagined that they’d be there. And no light on the horizon because our numbers keep going up. This is a gravely serious moment for all of us.' ” . . .

Houston Police Sgt. Killed By Repeat Offender After Soros-Funded D.A. Refused to Press Charges

Say his name!

American Greatness   "A police sergeant in Houston, Texas was shot dead Tuesday morning by a suspect who was in police custody just two days earlier, but was allowed to go free when the Democrat district attorney refused to press charges.

"HPD Sergeant Harold Preston had been with the Houston Police Department for 41-years and was due to retire at the end of the year, according to the Montgomery County Police Reporter. The local pro-police paper is urging voters to oust the D.A., whose campaign for office was bankrolled by left-wing billionaire George Soros.

 "The suspect, Elmer Manzano, is a convicted felon with multiple prior assaults on his record. He is in police custody after being hospitalized for a gunshot wound to the stomach." 

. .  .  ."The Police Reporter stated that the carnage was “100% preventable.”

“The actions of Harris County DA Kim Ogg are inexcusable. While Mr. Manzano pulled the trigger, Kim Ogg put the gun in his hands. Her actions are directly responsible for the death of HPD Sergeant Harold Preston,” the paper said. “DA Ogg’s fate is in the hands of Harris County voters NOW. She is on the ballot today. Vote to keep your streets, your neighborhoods, your homes, and your family safe. Vote to keep the men and women of law enforcement from preventable perils. Vote to hold Kim Ogg responsible for HPD Sergeant Preston’s death.” 

"Left-wing billionaire George Soros made a half-million-dollar advertising buy on behalf Ogg Harris during the County district attorney’s race in 2016, according to the Houston Chronicle.

"Soros-backed DAs in other cities such as Philadelphia, St. Louis, and San Francisco “have fired scores of experienced prosecutors and, as promised, stopped prosecuting low-level quality-of-life crimes such as disorderly conduct, vagrancy and loitering,” resulting in skyrocketing crime and frayed relationships with police departments, the Washington Times reported."

Leave It to Hapless Brian Stelter to Make CNN's 'Toobin Problem' Even More Embarrassing

CNN being CNN. It doesn’t get any better. That whole “Most Trusted Name in News” thing has become a joke that CNN caricatures on a daily basis. Maybe something like The Most Distrusted Name in Dumpster Fires™ would be more appropriate.

"I don't always masturbate with my

computer camera on, but when I do

I always make sure I am in a Zoom

work meeting."

 RedState  "CNN’s headache began — this headache, that is; CNN has more headaches than, as my dad used to say, you can shake a stick at — on Monday when news broke that its chief legal analyst, Jeffrey Toobin, was exposed (pun intended) for engaging in a particularly graphic “Anthony Weiner moment” during a Zoom meeting with coworkers.

"As I reported in an article titled CNN’s Chief Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin ‘Takes Some Time Off’ After ‘Going Anthony Weiner’ on Zoom Call, Toobin, who also writes for the New Yorker, was suspended by the magazine on Monday for masturbating on a Zoom video chat between members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio last week.

Stelter

"Later on Monday, CNN said Toobin had “asked for some time off” from his analyst role on the network.

“ 'Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted,” the network said in a statement.

"Memes immediately sprung up on Twitter, among them #Toobin. Here’s one of the “milder” tweets." . . .

. . . "Problem is, rather than lamenting Toobin’s disgusting behavior, the Trump-loathing Stelter instead lamented Toobin being “sidelined at a pivotal moment in a run-up to the election,” seemingly dismissing the creepy reason his pal was put on the shelf." . . .

Democrats Lost More Than a Supreme Court Seat This Week

"Will voters now want to turn the Senate over to these fools?" 

Nation and State  "The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings that Democrats hoped would thwart Amy Coney Barrett’s path to the Supreme Court instead threaten to squash a greater hope of Senate Democrats: a majority.

"Cory Booker of New Jersey asked the adoptive mother of two Haitian children, “You condemn white supremacy, correct?”

If the hearings did not galvanize demoralized conservatives, then why did CNN keep cutting away to below-the-fold matters?

"Sen. Mazie Hirono asked the question on nobody’s mind: “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?”

"Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s presentation Tuesday drew comparisons by Sen. Ben Sasse to the fevered thinking portrayed in A Beautiful Mind. It more closely resembled the big basement meeting in Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Sure, Whitehouse never actually uttered, “Is there something you could share with the rest of us, Amazing Larry?” But his 30-minute remarks, relying heavily on breathy conspiracy theories and intricate flow charts, left room, just like Pee-wee’s three-hour presentation, for not a single question." . . .

Whitehouse . . . just got relentlessly mocked for his silliness.

The juxtaposition between the brilliant Barrett and her dim Democratic interlocutors subtly conveyed the stakes this November. Amid their monotonous speeches occasionally disguised as questions, mind-wandering viewers asked a question to themselves: Do we really want to elect more of these buffoons in three weeks so they can control the Senate?

Democrats can’t ‘Kavanaugh’ unflappable Justice-to-be Amy Coney Barrett: Goodwin . . . "In that context, the separation-of-powers discussion is crucial because it is one of the defining differences of the two main political parties. Dems have used the courts as a kind of super legislature to win rulings on measures they can’t get through Congress and statehouses. Republicans generally want judges to stay in their lane and not be activists who stick their fingers in the air to see which way the political winds are blowing." . . .

REPORT: "Adam Schiff is a . . . Liar". (Their words)

 Legal Insurrection 

“The FBI and DOJ concur with DNI Ratcliffe’s assessment that Hunter Biden’s laptop and emails in question were not part of a Russian disinformation campaign.”

"In case that wasn’t obvious enough already…

"When the Hunter Biden story became an actual story despite attempts of social media behemoths to squash the story, infamous Russiagate conspiracy theorist, Rep. Adam Schiff, yet again blamed Russia. And I’m sure you’ll be shocked to know that recent reports indicate Schiff if once again, totally full of it. 

"At this point, does *anyone* disagree with Trump here?

“It’s just crazy. I saw Shifty Schiff get up yesterday and say this is Russia,” Trump exclaimed, using his favorite nickname for Schiff. “He’s a sick man. He is so sick. We went through two and a half years of that, plus. This guy, he ought to be put away, or he ought to be, you know, something should happen with him.' ”

 

Hunter Biden's hard drive allegedly shows he had a thing about underage girls

Not only did Biden do nothing to stop an ongoing blackmailing risk, but he also continued to use Hunter as his bagman.  It's an open secret that Joe Biden managed to maneuver his family members into receiving huge financial benefits wherever Joe's political power took him.  

Biden hands out ‘Courage Awards’ for #MeToo — despite handsy history with women, kids

Andrea Widburg  "Hunter Biden's hard drive, which the FBI has now verified as legitimate, allegedly has images of him misbehaving with underage girls.  The current information makes Hunter sound more like Anthony Weiner than Jeffrey Epstein, but it's still awful (and there may be worse to come).  The serious problem for Joe Biden — again, assuming the new information is accurate — is that he knew about this stuff.  Indeed, one gets the sense that, at least in some ways, Hunter is a chip off the old block.

"The first thing to note here is that the FBI has confirmed that it has Hunter Biden's hard drive, and it is legitimate.  Rudy Giuliani, who has reviewed the contents of this verified hard drive, states that it contains many pictures of "underage" girls.  In a Newsmax interview, Giuliani implied that Hunter appears in the same pictures as the girls themselves.  Because the images are disturbing and may be illegal, Giuliani turned the evidence over to the Delaware State Police.

"All of that is sordid, disgusting, and sad.  None of that, though, makes Hunter's Weinerish predilections politically interesting.

"What is politically interesting is that, again according to Giuliani, Joe Biden knew about what was going on because Hunter told him.  Giuliani read from one such alleged conversation and shared a screen grab of the message:" . . .

Like father, like son?  And keep in mind Biden's inability to keep his hands off little girls.  Even if that public fondling is the worst that Biden does, it's highly inappropriate and an unconscionable violation of the girls' personal space.

Two Bidens and a Toobin: Could Trump have scripted these last two weeks any better?

Bookworm Room

"We are in the third act of an epic morality play, and the Bidens and their ally Toobin stand exposed as corrupt, sexually perverse people.

"Starting with the 2016 election, Scott Adams said that Donald Trump is the ultimate showman, and that he understands how to create a narrative. Adams is correct and I knew that, in 2020, it was always going to be Trump who controlled the October surprise. After all, since they subjected Trump to a daily colonoscopy for the last four years, the Democrats have no arrows left in their quiver.

"Even the Wuhan virus is proving to be a failure when it comes to destroying Trump. The economy is rebounding; voters understand that China, not Trump, is to blame; Americans have been repulsed by the Democrats’ embrace of covid despotism, and Trump’s own bout with the virus shows that we’re coming to the end of the pandemic.

"Additionally, as Americans watch Europe again collapse under the weight of the virus, despite ostensibly doing everything right compared to Trump’s doing everything wrong, they’re realizing that, in fact, Trump didn’t do anything wrong terribly wrong. He responded swiftly to events based on the best information available. No matter how one approaches the Wuhan virus, some people (sadly) will die.

"When it came to whichever Democrat primary candidate became the Democrat presidential candidate, I always assumed that Trump would be able to pull a rabbit out of his hat. I also assumed, once Biden was the anointed one, that there would be lots of rabbits. When I envisioned those rabbits, though, I imagined that they would have Russian accents.

"Thus, I had faith that, despite the Democrats using the Wuhan virus to slow down the Durham investigation, there would still be red meat regarding Biden’s involvement in the Russia hoax. Even when I learned that Durham would say nothing before the election, I told myself, “That’s okay. He probably can’t get a D.C. Grand Jury to indict anyone. And if he can get a D.C. Grand Jury to indict, it’ll be a year, at least, before there’s a trial. And in that year, all that the media will show are statements from the defendants’ attorneys saying that they’re innocent. I’m sure that Trump’s plan is to put the documents before the American people and let them make up their minds.' ” . . .

Robert Reich vows purges and show trials of conservatives if Biden is elected  "Is the average American voter really thinking about all the ways to get back at voters who voted for President Trump?" . . .

. . . "And it makes sense. Socialism has failed everywhere it's ever been tried, every time, every place, every place it's ever been practiced, people are poorer, unfreerer and less advanced than in places with capitalism. They've got a 100% record on failure for that. But where they don't have a record of failure is on a reign of terror, where neighbor spies on neighbor for a secret police, thought crimes are punished, mass imprisonment and re-education camps are a way of life, show trials appear where groveling people stand before people's commissars and profess to love what they hate and hate what they love, and the yin and yang of violence to reinforce lies and lies to cover up violence. There are also party purges to keep everyone in a state of fear.

"That's what socialists are good at.

"And sure enough, that's what Reich is calling for." . . .

Revenge on Trump Supporters Sought by Democrats  "Democrats are quick to pick up and echo the same talking point. Deja vu of the Journolist scandal, the newest coordination of message is drooling over how to exact revenge on Trump supporters with an Orwellian named Truth and Reconciliation Commission."

"Bobby Reich [an appropriate last name, eh?] has for years demonstrated his basic contempt of fellow Americans. There is nothing sorrowful in his tweet; indeed, it drips with a lust equal to Madame Defarge. Chris Hayes had earlier used the same phrase, but obviously Reich missed the ratio and felt it necessary to nudge the suggestion ahead.

"What do these Jacobian Democrats want? Hysteric Jennifer Rubin sure gives a few clues.

They should think more about atoning for the betrayal of their country than trying to escape the consequences of enabling a liar, racist and wannabe authoritarian. There are practical reasons for employers outside the right-wing bubble to reject not only those who were the face of the administration but also those who labored behind the scenes.

"Are you now, or have you ever been, a supporter of President Trump and his policies?

(Trump administration) Employees who obstructed justice, misrepresented facts to courts or lied to Congress must be held responsible under criminal statutes and professional rules of conduct. State bar authorities will need to step up to identify behavior, which, if allowed to go unpunished, would bring disrepute on the profession and set a bad example for others. If elected, former vice president Joe Biden will need to decide how to clean house, which might involve investigating and holding departed Trump officials responsible.

"Democrats will hunt down and destroy the careers of anyone connected with the Trump administration. It doesn’t matter if any of those people actually did anything illegal, the process of endless investigation will be the punishment, from keeping people under a permanent cloud and publicly identified to leave them at the mercy of the Leftwing mobs.

"Hyperbole? Hardly. There were enough Leftist Democrats who were frustrated in their revenge efforts to have President Chimpy McHitlerBush and his administration jailed for “war crimes” after Obama was elected that their long fermented bile and hatred towards Americans who disagree with them that they will never accept a Biden refusal to act against Republicans. For months we’ve witnessed the Leftist riots and looting with little-to-no consequences for the perps. A Biden election will increase that violence. Not just Trump administration employees, but donor lists will be researched for targets to culturally cancel. Remember Brendan Eich?

"Jennifer refuses to accept anything less than public confession and humiliation." . . .

AOC Attacks Home Owners, Squad Pushes Bill To Strip Property From Owners To Make Things ‘Fair’

News Thud

"Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attacked “homeowners” saying that they are hurting people that can’t afford to own land. Her rant comes as the crooked congresswoman Rep. Ilhan Omar proposed a bill that would strip property owners of their property if the federal government deems it necessary.

“ 'It makes no sense that we are squeezing people that already cannot afford to purchase their own home for more money than a person who already owns land and is a land-owning member or a home-owning member of our economy,” said a video posted by the Congresswoman on Twitter." . . . 

"Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota at the same time introduced a bill that would strip property rights from Americans; it’s called the Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act, which is a socialist dream.

"The bill would cancel all rent and mortgage payments regardless of income or employment throughout the duration of the pandemic." . .  .

 Do the Chinese Own Joe Biden?   "Americans will need to come to grips with a mounting, deadly serious crisis.  The Democrat nominee for the presidency appears saturated with corruption, and worse -- yes, there’s a worse here -- he’s compromised himself to foreign powers, one of which -- the People’s Republic of China (PRC) -- is rightly regarded as an enemy of the U.S.  Sly Vlad Putin and whoever runs the Ukraine owns Joe Biden, too.  Russia and the Ukraine having the goods on Biden is bad enough, but China is the U.S.’s principal rival for global dominance.  The blackmailing of a President Joe Biden is a chilling prospect.  Biden as president imperils the nation in ways never experienced before." . . .

This nightmare scenario of a Biden presidency need not materialize.  Though an estimated 23.5 million votes have been cast to date, many tens of millions more votes have yet to be made.  The Hunter Biden laptop discoveries are evidentiary.  Joe Biden and his family have long been alleged to be as crooked as the day is long.  A Biden presidency is an unprecedented risk to U.S. national security.  Reelecting Donald Trump is the prevention.  A Trump second term is imperative.

 Chinese group was hosted at Obama White House by man now serving as a Biden transition team co-chair   "Jeff Zients, who is helping to lead Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's transition team, hosted the Chinese Entrepreneur Club (CEC) for a 2011 White House meeting when he was serving as the deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget.

"Breitbart reported that, according to Obama administration records, the group toured the White House and met with John Bryson who at that point was serving as the Commerce Secretary. The outlet also said that according to group members the party got a private meeting with Vice President Joe Biden."

Big Time China Whore Bailed Out Biden in Iowa  "Hunter Biden’s business associates used the term “China Inc.” as a generic term to describe the Chinese system of enterprise that holds the door open for Americans with useful knowledge or influence. As is becoming more and more obvious, Hunter Biden was peddling influence.

"If China Inc. has an all-time MVP, however, that award belongs to a man who came to China rich with knowledge and traded that knowledge for major dollars. In January 2020 that same man gave some of those dollars to a struggling Joe Biden. As the Politico headline phrased it, Bernard Schwartz was one of “the big donors bankrolling Biden onslaught in Iowa.”

"Chairman of BLS Investments, the “Democratic megadonor” Schwartz made a six-figure donation to the super PAC, Unite the Country. That PAC went on to spend $5 million just in Iowa. Its goal was to convince Democrats “skeptical of Biden’s weak fundraising in the presidential race” that Biden could win." . . .
