Wokeism Should Terrify Liberals; Here's a job for Joe ...

Mickey Kaus

Kaus lies. Biden's public image is of a corrupt life-long politician who has the ethics, morals and behavior of a large, hungry hog at a trough of slops. Keep his trough filled, or offer him another trough with better slops, and he's yours. (Comments section)

"I suppose it's conventional wisdom that the pandemic is Joe Biden's friend. It gives him a unifying project for a year that can distract from his shortcomings as a leader (including, but not limited to, inability to inspire with soaring rhetoric). Most Americans will support any reasonable anti-COVID actions he takes and be grateful when they eventually succeed. Does Biden want to wriggle out of domestic policy promises? Delay them with a Covid excuse.. He's Dr.-End-The-Virus, not Dr.-Ban-Assault-Weapons, at least for the moment. Meanwhile, Republicans are going to criticize his virus policies... how? Well, they can lead an anti-lockdown, anti-mask resistance. But Biden isn't an obvious foil because he seems to want to open up the schools--and it's not clear that Berensonian resistance is the path to a majority as long as the virus stays at scary levels..

"What I'd like to suggest is that the virus has also opened up a bigger opportunity for Biden, via a more circuitous route. Start with last week's controversy over vaccine distribution. The Centers for Disease Control's own data showed that the way to save the most lives was to
vaccinate older people (65+) ahead of "essential workers," who’d be next up.  But the CDC's expert advisory committee was initially poised reject this approach on “social justice” grounds. The problem? “[R]acial and ethnic minority groups are under-represented among adults 65 [and over].” The worker group was simply more “diverse." White people “live longer,” explained Harald Schmidt, an expert in ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania. It was time to "level the playing field a bit.” Even if it meant letting more people (including more black people!) die." . .  .

Trump Won Michigan County That Reported a Biden Win on Election Night, Recount Confirms

 RF Angle

A hand recount confirmed that a Michigan county falsely reported a win for Democrat candidate Joe Biden on election night.


"The recount showed that President Donald Trump actually won Antrim County with 9,759 votes compared to Biden’s 5,959.

"On election night, county officials claimed that Biden carried the county by over 3,000 votes. However, there were multiple alterations to the vote count after that. Two days later, those same officials said that Trump had actually won by approximately 2,500 votes. And they changed the vote count on Nov. 21, saying Trump was being certified the winner by more than 4,000 votes.

"Antrim County uses Dominion Voting Systems.

"Antrim County has gained the national spotlight thanks to an independent forensic audit which showed Dominion software was “intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.”

"The audit found that Dominion “intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors” in order to transfer them to adjudication. The audit report asserts that sending these ballots to adjudication will result in “no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail.”

“ 'A staggering number of votes required adjudication,” Russell James Ramsland Jr., co-founder of the Allied Security Operations Group, said. “This was a 2020 issue not seen in previous election cycles still stored on the server. This is caused by intentional errors in the system. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency or audit trail.”

"Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson attributed the mistake in tabulating the vote to human error." . . .

Is Anyone More Annoying or Treacherous than Barack Obama?

...And his slobbering sycophant Stephen:

Is anything that Barack Obama says on the up-and-up? Is this monster of a politician to be believed? No. Not for a nanosecond.

 Townhall  "Okay, right off the bat, in the annoying category, Obama is tied with Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and the usual Leftist gang of congressional idiots. At the moment, however, Obama has a louder megaphone. He is shooting his mouth off all over the place, for good reason. He knows that if Donald Trump somehow is re-inaugurated, the ongoing investigations into Russiagate are eventually going to lead to Obama himself and that such investigation will reveal his treachery.   

"At this very moment, Barack Obama is highly knowledgeable about the level of Democrat election and voter fraud that took place this year. He has an intricate, inside knowledge of the ploys used by Leftist operatives. However, he is silent about the phenomenon. He is actively espousing the opposite, claiming that no significant fraud occurred and that Trump is making wild accusations (as per usual in Obama's world).

"Is anything that Barack Obama says on the up-and-up? Is this monster of a politician to be believed? No. Not for a nanosecond." . . .

"Stephen Colbert praised former President Barack Obama during a Tuesday interview, saying, “I just want to take a moment to drink you in.”“The Late Show” host threw in a dig at President Donald Trump — though he did not mention him by name — saying that with Obama in the room, he was “having to get used to looking at a president again.” 

Obama’s Petty Response To The “Shutdown” Becomes Tyrannical  . . .  “ 'We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can,” one National Parks Service ranger told the Washington Times; and evidence of this Machiavellian scheming can be found across the nation. Not satisfied with merely closing national parks like Mt. Rushmore, the NPS placed cones blocking scenic overlooks where drivers at least could pull over and take pictures. At Yellowstone National Park, one of the country’s most popular, Park Rangers are using drawn firearms to make their point." . . .

Rick Santorum: Obama Was a Vindictive Bully

Throughout his presidency, Obama routinely engaged in the sort of behavior he would describe as authoritarian and vindictive.   . . . "Obama’s IRS also attempted to silence political enemies. Lois Lerner, an IRS official who served under Obama, threatened Tea Party nonprofits that had applied for tax-exempt status throughout the 2010 midterms and the 2012 presidential election. " . . .

Vindictive Obama punishing Israel for reelecting Netanyahu . . . "There is no doubt that Netanyahu will do his utmost to try to repair the relationship. But if Obama continues to be vindictive and remains obsessed with forcing America’s only loyal and democratic ally in the region to retreat to indefensible borders, we will need to stand firm." . . .

Veterans return Obama’s barricades to the White House . . . "In a mean-spirited fit of selfish anger, Barack Obama has shut down our nation's war memorials, march organizers said in a press release. And he has declared open war on our honored veterans. The World War II memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, Obama has shut them all down to force his will on the House of Representatives and, frankly, to get revenge on the American people who oppose ObamaCare and his other naked power grabs." . . .

The Obama Administration Opens the National Mall - for Pro Illegal Immigration Rally  . . . "This is an administration that is so shameless and obvious in its partisan political actions that only the most intellectually dishonest in the country can deny it is because they know they will get a full pass from the mainstream media. Is there anyone working for these people who is even capable of embarrassment?". .?

The List: Unnecessarily Shut Down by Obama to Inflict Public Pain  . . . "There are many
other examples of this president’s cold-hearted fanaticism and willingness to punish people for reasons that seem to have much more to with spite than what is and is not “essential.” In fact, there are a number of examples where Obama seems to be spending more money and using more resources to close and block and inconvenience than to just leave it alone." . . .

Below is a list of illogical, unnecessary, and shockingly spiteful moves our government is making in the name of essential and non-essential.   The 2013 list

UPDATE! All the above and more leading to this:  Trump ends Obama's 12-year run as most admired man: Gallup  Obama and Pope Francis. . . . "President Trump has ended former President Obama's 12-year run as the most admired man in America, edging out his predecessor in the annual Gallup survey released Tuesday.

"Eighteen percent of the survey's respondents named Trump as their most admired man, compared to 15 percent who named Obama and 6 percent who named President-elect Joe Biden. Three percent named National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, while 2 percent chose Pope Francis."

Elise Stefanik Warns That Pelosi's Speakership Is 'in Peril'

 Reagan McCarthy


"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) seeks a fourth term with the speaker’s gavel, as her party holds a historically slim majority in the lower chamber. Democrats were projected to gain upwards of 10 to 15 seats in the House, but Republicans managed to flip several Democratic-held districts on election day. 

"Her party’s slim majority complicates Pelosi’s bid for the speakership, as many House Democrats place blame on her for the massive losses in congressional elections. High-profile Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called for new leadership in Congress, and a handful of newly-elected Democrats declined to say whether or not they would back Pelosi’s bid for the speakership.

"New York GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik warned that Pelosi’s bid for the speaker’s gavel is “in peril” as her own party publicly voices frustration with her governance.

“ 'I have thought for weeks that Nancy Pelosi’s speakership is in peril,” Stefanik said on Fox and Friends on Monday morning. “Her majority is so slim...she can only lose 3 to 4 votes of that speakership. That means that there are a number of members who voted against her last time who are going to have to vote for her.”

Biden would be the Godfather in Chief

 Don Surber


"For 4 years, the media has parroted the Democrat line that President Donald John Trump is not a normal president. And as Biden prepares to steal the presidency from the American people, we now see what the media meant by normal.

"It is not what the Founding Fathers envisioned in a president.

"CNBC reported, "The brother to one of President-elect Joe Biden’s closest advisors just picked up Amazon as a new client.

" 'Jeff Ricchetti, the brother of Biden’s White House counselor Steve Ricchetti, recently secured a lobbying contract with Amazon Web Services, the cloud platform of Amazon and a subsidiary of the tech giant, according to a new lobbying disclosure report.

" 'The report shows Ricchetti registered to lobby for Amazon Web Services on Nov. 13, just a week after Biden was projected to defeat President Donald Trump. Ethics attorneys have previously told CNBC that Steve Ricchetti, who was also once a lobbyist over a decade ago, may have to recuse himself from matters that could impact his brother’s clients.

" 'A person familiar with the brothers’ relationship said they keep their professional lives entirely separate and that Jeff Ricchetti would never lobby Steve Ricchetti."

"To paraphrase Salvatore Tessio from the Godfather, it is nothing personal, just politics.

"You gotta take care of your family first." . . .

A Supreme Court in Hiding is Dangerous for Our Country

 

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

American Thinker  "In accordance with Art VI of the Constitution, every sitting Supreme Court justice has taken an oath swearing that he or she will “support this Constitution.” The Constitution the justices have sworn to protect is predicated upon free and fair elections so that the government reflects the will of the People. When the justices refuse to protect election integrity, they are violating their sworn oath and putting our constitutional republic at grave risk.

"I recently wrote a suggested Supreme Court opinion. It said the Court must decide “credible and significant” claims of election wrongdoing on their merits before elected officials are sworn in—-except for the President, where the Constitution provides a fallback political method of election. My article suggested what the Supreme Court should do. This article discusses their inaction and warns of the consequences if the justices continue to run and hide.

"Americans paying attention to the 2020 Election must be baffled by our courts. A thousand sworn statements about election wrongdoing, bizarre 4 a.m. “vote spikes” for one candidate, hundreds of thousands of ballots driven from one state to the another, counting machines with 68% error rates, etc., etc. Such claims should at least get a day in court.

"Yet so far, they can’t get a sniff. With few exceptions, no state or federal court in our country has had the courage to look at the merits of these claims. The most significant challenge to our Constitutional Republic since the first Civil War can’t get a parking ticket.

The Pennsylvania Supremes liked “laches” or simply put, “you waited too long.” The claim asserted was simple—- the Pennsylvania Constitution does not authorize mail-in voting so the legislature can’t do it. " . . .

Nashville bomber Anthony Quinn Warner reportedly thought he’d be ‘hailed a hero'

NY Post  


"Via The Sun:

The call identified Warner, 63, as the possible owner of the RV that exploded in the early hours of Christmas Day after seeing a photo of the vehicle released by police.

Warner was feared to have been making bombs in the RV, which was seen parked at his home in the Antioch neighborhood of Nashville.

During a search of the property on Saturday, it can be revealed that detectives found the titles to his vehicles, a check for $1,000, $100 in cash, a computer, a USB drive and power tools.

According to a report seen by The US Sun, the home is said to be “clean and organized.”

However, it adds there was nothing found in the initial search to to directly link Warner to the explosion.

Newt Gingrich Won’t Accept Biden As President – Here are 8 Reasons Why


Clash Daily  "It’s becoming increasingly obvious that the left and the right don’t even live in the same world. The one the Left call home is not one the rest of us would even recognize… or care to.

"Here’s a quick summary of why it is he won’t accept a Biden presidency…

– When Trump, a political outsider, won … his win was attributed to Russian meddling. Federal law enforcement led a years-long investigation, kneecapping, undermining, and delegitimizing his Administration at every turn, a dark cloud that hung over the midterms in 2018 and almost certainly cost him control of Congress, which led to further attempts at a coup. But we’re supposed to quietly demur and concede that Biden ran a tough race from his basement, or whatever.

"No sale.

"It’s not the vote itself he’s reacting to, so much as the entire environment.

"Everything about the lead-up to Trump’s inauguration was steeped in an attitude of


‘Resistance’… 70 elected Democrats didn’t even bother to show up to the ceremony.

"But it was more than that…

– Facebook and Twitter led the charge in censoring America’s oldest, and 4th largest newspaper when they shared an embarassing story that would have been devastating to the Biden campaign. Had the public been told about it, enough shocked Democrats in battleground states said that would have changed their vote that Trump would have easily won a second term.

"That’s hardly the only time they ran interference for their candidate, either." . . .

Is there anything about which Kamala Harris won’t pander?

And don't forget the hot sauce in her purse. She first teaches us about the Jewish holiday Hanukkah:


Then she "celebrates" Kwanzaa:

Andrea Widburg   "Saturday was a day ending with a “Y,” so that meant Kamala Harris was pandering to another valued Democrat identity group. Saturday’s pander was to those blacks who have embraced Kwanzaa, an anti-white, anti-Christian, Marxist holiday that began to gain mass adherence within the black community in the 1980s and 1990s. Kamala’s tweet honoring the holiday, of course, was as false as all her other pander stories have been, whether she’s talking about smoking pot and listening to Tupac in college or making inane comments about Hanukkah.

"Kwanzaa is not a traditional African holiday. Instead, Maulana Karenga (born Ronald McKinley Everett in Maryland) invented Kwanzaa in 1966. Karenga now says that he simply wanted blacks to have their own holiday. However, in the early years, Karenga, who figured largely in the Black Power movement, described his new holiday differently. Wikipedia summarizes a 1967 article this way:

During the early years of Kwanzaa, Karenga said it was meant to be an alternative to Christmas. He believed Jesus was psychotic and Christianity was a "White" religion that Black people should shun.

"Jeff Dunetz has a little more information about the man who called Jesus psychotic:

The man who created the holiday, Maulana Karenga, described the 2019 celebration as “An All-Seasons Celebration and Practice of the Good.” The problem with that statement is that Maulana Karenga is anything but good. He was convicted in 1971 of torturing two women who were members of US (United Slaves), a black nationalist cult he had founded.

"The women’s and Karenga’s own testimony about the horrors he visited on those women makes clear that, if anyone was psychotic and delusional, Karenga was that man.

"As well as being silly (it’s a harvest festival in December), the really pernicious thing about Kwanzaa is that it promotes Marxist agricultural practices of the type that caused mass starvation in China, Ukraine, and Africa. Nevertheless by the 1980s and early 1990s, when Kwanzaa broke out of Black Power circles and went mainstream, Harris would have been in her late teens, 20s, and 30s. In other words, even if one assumes solely for the sake of argument that Harris's family observed the holiday, she was almost certainly not a child when they did so.

"Considering that Kwanzaa is fake and socialist, it’s a holiday with Harris written all over it. Still, the perfect melding of holiday and politician didn’t stop people from crying foul when she put out a tweet about her magical childhood memories:"...

 Left Floating Insidious Plan To Decimate Religious Education ‘Would Cease To Exist’  "We already saw Kamala Harris trying to block a POTUS nominee for membership in a Catholic service org, would you REALLY put this past them?

Star of Bernie Sanders Ad Indicted on 24 Corruption Charges

 Daniel Greenfield


. . . "In a desperate attempt at winning over black voters in South Carolina, Bernie Sanders turned to Dalhi Myers and made the politician into the star of his ad campaign.

"Myers' switch from supporting Biden to backing the socialist Castro fan caught the attention of the media.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina elected official who endorsed Joe Biden last month is switching her allegiance to Bernie Sanders in the state’s first-in-the-South presidential primary, saying she had viewed the former vice president — whose support in the state is considered deep — as “a compromise choice.”

“In December, Myers, a corporate lawyer in Columbia, was among more than a dozen South Carolina elected officials to endorse Biden, saying at the time in a release from the Biden campaign that he was “the only candidate with the broad and diverse coalition of support we need to win” against Trump in the general election. Initially, Myers said she backed Biden because she saw him as a candidate who could possibly appeal to Republican voters disenfranchised by the president.

"Myers was not an honest politician and didn't stay bought.

Describing Sanders as "unafraid" and "unapologetic," Myers said she liked "the fact that he is willing to fight for a better America—for the least, the fallen, the left behind." . . .

Trouble for Democrats: Rebellion in the California suburbs

Monica Showalter  "In an indication of what's going on in the California suburbs, a craft beer pub owner in the offramp town of Covina used his truck to block a health inspector, bringing himself a visit from the local cops.

"According to a report by radio host Todd Starnes:

The owner of Bread & Barley in Covina, California decided enough was enough when a public health Nazi ordered his restaurant to shut down.

So Carlos Roman parked his truck behind the vehicle belonging to the public health inspector.

“He wants to come in here and say nobody can work—well, then he can’t work either!” Roman told a police officer who responded to the scene. “If we can’t work, he can’t work.”

As many as a half dozen police officers showed up and demanded the restaurant owner move the truck.

“This is what happens when people get desperate,” Mr. Roman said. “I’m desperate. Who’s going to pay her car payment? Who’s going to pay my cook’s rent?”

He then asked the police officer and the health department Nazi whether they got a paycheck on Friday.

"Before we go on, first, I have to say I don't agree with Starnes's characterization of the officials here as 'Nazis.' Listen to the video, it's very clear they are not.

"But it's also clear that the owner's pain was real, he was a man living off GoFundMe donations, in desperation making a Quixotic protest. There was no way that pub owner, Carlos Roman, was going to win this encounter, and the cops gave him time and time again to just move his truck, they didn't even threaten him with a ticket, they just warned him he either needed to do that or he was going to get a tow. " . . .
