The morals of a Democrat

What is happening here is not inconsequential.  It is part of a leftist push to change reality.  People who can be taught to deny the evidence of their own eyes can be sold anything.  If a person's sex is not fixed and real, then nothing else is real, either.  The same government that is selling this kind of lie has created the power to force any other fiction down the public's throat.  Andrea Widburg

The House of Representatives goes woke   "One of the most despicable things the wokesters are pushing on America is "non-gendered language."  It's one thing to do away with work-related descriptions that focus unnecessarily on a person's sex.  For example, nobody sane cares if the person chairing a committee is a "chairman" or a "chairwoman."  It's another thing entirely to do away with language that accurately describes a person's biological reality.  A daughter is not a son and vice versa.  Nevertheless, bowing before the radical gender lobby, the Democrat-led House is preparing to do just that.

"According to an announcement from Speaker Nancy Pelosi and James McGovern (D-Mass.), the Rules Committee chairman, the proposed rules for the 117th Congress will mandate that any words acknowledging biological reality will henceforth be forbidden.  The Democrats didn't state matters so bluntly, but that's the import of the announcement." . . .

We are all San Franciscans now.

How the Proposed House Rules Package Continues the Left's 'War on the Family'  . . . "Thanks to the leadership of Chairman McGovern and our Members, Democrats have crafted a package of unprecedented, bold reforms, which will make the House more accountable, transparent and effective in our work to meet the needs of the American people," Pelosi said in a statement. "These future-focused proposals reflect our priorities as a Caucus and as a Country – including crushing the coronavirus, addressing economic disparity, combating the climate crisis, advancing inclusion, and promoting integrity in government.”

We see how Pelosi's party treats major crimes:

Charged with MURDER, STABBING? In NYC, You’re FREE to Go  The latest outrage took place in The Bronx, where 16-year-old Jordon Benjamin allegedly stabbed Amya Hicks in mid-December. Arrested a few days later, he was charged with felony assault and assorted lesser charges. Amya Hicks needed surgery and spent several days in the hospital. Benjamin was less inconvenienced: He only spent a few hours in a holding cell before being released on his recognizance, without having to post bail. 

"It’s bad enough that an alleged knife-wielding thug who slashes neighborhood women got to gallivant out of jail. But the story becomes downright enraging when we learn that Benjamin was already facing manslaughter charges — and the same judge let him out twice.

"On Christmas Eve 2019, young Benjamin and some of his mates allegedly took time out from their holiday festivities to assault Juan Fresnada, a 60-year-old Bronx man. They stomped on him and brained him with a garbage can. Fresnada died, and Benjamin and his crew got away with $1.

"In his brief career, Benjamin is already the beneficiary of multiple aspects of New York state’s criminal-justice “reform” measures, which our progressive leaders and professional activist class have hailed as “monumental” steps to “create a fairer and more humane” system, in the words of Mayor de Blasio." . . .

Biden Team Disables Chat On Virtual Press Conferences After Reporters Ask Tough Questions

 Daily Wire

"Democrat Joe Biden’s White House transition team has reportedly disabled the chat function on their Zoom virtual press conferences after invited journalists began complaining about the group’s lack of transparency.

"As The Daily Wire reported last week, reporters were becoming “frustrated” with the Biden team — and Joe Biden himself — because the team appeared to have a slate of favored journalists who were always called up on to ask questions during the team’s virtual press conferences.

"The “New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, PBS and Politico” were given the opportunity to ask questions of the team at nearly every press conference, while even mainstream media outlets like The Associated Press were shut out.

“ 'Hey guys, there tons of folks looking to ask questions and since this is being done once a week, could we PLEASE go longer or at least hold more frequent briefings,” a reporter from The Daily Beast said in the chat of a Zoom press conference held last week.

“ 'Any chance you can take a few more questions? There are a lot of folks here with questions,” Zeke Miller from The Associated Press added.

“ 'Is there a point in saying we want to ask questions if you only call on the same small group every week?” another asked.

"The system had a direct impact: Biden’s team rarely had to answer an unexpected question, particularly about touchy subjects, like an ongoing Department of Justice investigation into his son Hunter’s finances and foreign dealings. Biden has yet to answer questions on Hunter’s issues in any substantive way, and even then when questioned by late-night television hosts, not network reporters.

Pelosi Bans 'Offensive' Gender Terms Like 'Mother' & 'Father' in New House Rules

Democratic House speaker introduces radical new guidelines for Congress

"Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has introduced a radical new set of rules for Congress which includes a ban on "offensive" "gender-focused" terms such as “father, mother, son, and daughter.”

"Pelosi and Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-MA) unveiled the rules for the 117th Congress on Friday.

"The elimination of gendered terms is part of a set of “future-focused” proposals, the House Committee on Rules said in a statement.

“ 'This package, which will be introduced and voted on once the new Congress convenes, includes sweeping ethics reforms, increases accountability for the American people, and makes this House of Representatives the most inclusive in history,” the statement reads.

"Speaker Pelosi said she is “pleased to join Chairman Jim McGovern in introducing this visionary rules package."

"The new rules reflect "the views and values of the full range of our historically diverse House Democratic Majority,” she added.' " . . .

We Don’t Need To Accept The 'New Normal' The Left Is Forcing On Us

Soros-Backed D.A. Sued By L.A. Prosecutors Over Reducing Sentence Enhancements

Neon Nettle

George Gascón announced radical changes earlier this year

The newly installed George Soros-backed District Attorney George Gascón is being sued by The Association of Deputy District Attorneys (ADDA) of Los Angeles County over his recent order to ban prosecutors from enhanced prison sentences, and declining prosecutions for various crimes.

"Gascón announced radical changes earlier this year, including eliminating cash bail.  

"Soros donated $1.5 million to the California Justice and Safety PAC, which backed Gascón.

"Gascón issued a ban on the death penalty and a prohibition on extended sentences for exacerbating circumstances, such as belonging to a gang or using a gun.

"Ongoing cases were affected by the new rules, like one involving a suspect charged with a double murder, which included that of L.A. Sherrif’s Deputy Gilbert Solano." . . .

How Much Voter Fraud Was There?

Tony Branco

 Power Line  "Voter fraud is a large and growing problem in the United States, and there is good reason to think that it exploded in 2020 on account of (among other things) unprecedented numbers of mail-in ballots and deliberately lax controls in many states. John Lott has now produced a statistical analysis that suggests substantial voter fraud in Fulton County, Georgia and Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Lott’s conclusion is that his analysis suggests a total of more than 55,000 fraudulent votes in those two counties. Lott’s paper is embedded below, and his statistical calculations are laid out in detail. You can evaluate them for yourself.

"Lott’s method is simple and rather elegant: he compares absentee votes in precincts in Fulton County, for example, with adjacent precincts in neighboring counties. He also controls for demographics. Since voting is done at the precinct level, while counting was done at the county level, and since there is no evident reason why precincts across the street from one another should show significantly different results, the approach makes sense." . . .

Voter Fraud Is Real. Here’s The Proof (Oct 13)  . . . "So now that we know voter fraud is a serious issue, what are some solutions to this problem? States like Michigan have Poll Challenger programs, where observers from both parties may be present at voter check-in tables at precincts. They check each voter’s ID against a database of registered voters for that precinct to ensure the person attempting to vote is actually legally qualified to vote in that precinct. If there’s a discrepancy, the poll challenger may officially challenge the ballot. Other states should implement similar programs.

Earl of Taint

"States should sponsor initiatives to remove dead voters and correct the registrations of people registered in multiple states (make them choose just one state). Since many local jurisdictions are reluctant to clean their voter rolls, federal or state oversight with teeth may be necessary.

"Further, voter ID laws, such as the one implemented by North Carolina, but (wrongly) struck down by three liberal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit— one appointed by Bill Clinton and the other two appointed by President Obama—are needed to ensure there’s no cheating with votes. States should continue to press the issue regardless of recent setbacks by liberal activist judges."...

"Unsurprisingly, we voted for Trump (and against the Democrats). Since this apparently made us fascist members of the Nazi party, we had to reflect on what we were actually voting for:

• To keep the Supreme Court a judicial rather than legislative body.
• To keep racists from gaining even more political power.
• To keep our future votes from being disenfranchised by the addition of new Democrat "states."
• To free Black Americans from their liberal prison plantations by increasing their access to
    education and opportunity.
• To stand in solidarity with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
• To clean up the FBI, the CIA, and the DOJ.
• To keep socialism from devouring our economy and work ethic.
• To have legal citizenship actually mean something.
• To improve everyone's access to quality, affordable healthcare.
• To ensure equal rights to all regardless of race, color, faith, or sexual orientation.
• To fight against "cancel culture."
• To protect our cities from those who would burn them down without fear of legal
    consequence.
• To resist the control of all information and speech by giant media conglomerates.
• To support police agencies and the communities which they serve.
• To maintain a viable economy during the pandemic rather than embrace systemic failure.
• To allow political dissent and the free exchange of ideas.
• To drain the Washington swamp.
• To keep our military strong.
• To put America first.

"Biden and his gang of retreads from the largely unsuccessful Obama-Biden Administration aren’t running against Trump anymore. So now what?"

 Conrad Black  "There is substantial danger that the approaching Biden Administration will enter office determined to execute a 180-degree policy course change in almost every field, partly out of the spiteful and irrational antagonism that swiftly arose in opposition to Donald Trump, and partly from the perversity, obsolescence, and reactionary contrariety of current Democratic policy thinking. 

"Inevitably, the Democrats suffer from the polyglot composition of the contending factions that now compose that party. The African Americans within the Democrats are more militant than ever: President Trump raised the Republican percentage of African American votes by approximately half, and earned widespread credit for his promotion of Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina’s Enterprise Zone program, which incentivized heavy job-creating investment in disadvantaged areas. This and other Trump policies, especially the drastic reduction in unskilled illegal immigration, effectively eliminated black unemployment for the first time since World War II. 

"As it is now becoming practically impossible for the Democrats to retain their lock on the African American vote—approximately 11 percent of the country’s total—by simply dismissing Republicans as fat-cat, white, country club devotees afflicted by complacent whites’ racial indifference or bigotry, the black Democratic leadership is now reduced, in a phrase from the O.J. Simpson trial, to “dealing the race card off the bottom of the deck.”  

"The charge that Trump is a racist was completely unfounded and debunked by his success in improving the lot of the ethnic minorities, and Trump has shaken the Democratic hold on the African American vote with his charges that the Democrats’ polemical pandering to sentiments of racial anger and even self-pity, while doing nothing to reduce the dependence of many African Americans on the welfare system and drug addiction, or to alleviate the inordinate levels of incarceration of African Americans (and other minorities), are just hypocrisy.

Sowell or Biden: which has the wisdom to govern a nation?

 

GREATEST THOMAS SOWELL QUOTES

FLASHBACK: Joe Biden Implied Thomas Sowell Was Racist For Opposing Affirmative Action  . . . "The exchange occurred during the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Nominee Robert Bork in 1987. Sowell attended the hearings to testify on behalf of Judge Bork and was given 10 minutes to make a case for his character. It was during this hearing that Democrats, including then Sen. Biden, slandered Bork and failed to confirm him in a 42–58 vote. 

"Biden pushed Sowell on his public opposition to affirmative action, implying that Sowell, a black man, is racist for his opinion on the policy.

“I gather from your comments about MIT and Harvard that you don’t think there’s enough blacks out there who are qualified to fill the number of vacancies, allotted for them in those schools, is that right? My point is, you believe there’s not enough black women and men out there that are the same as white women and men go through Harvard and MIT? You’re saying factually there are not enough?” Biden asked.

"Sowell previously explained that affirmative action sets up many black Americans for failure due to race-based quotas.

“ 'They are systematically mismatched with universities and the admissions process,” Sowell said. “That is if Harvard feels that it must have X percent of blacks. And the pool is such that they can’t get X percent of blacks at the same level as the rest of the Harvard students, they’re going to take those blacks who would have succeeded in some state university and bring them to Harvard where many of them will fail.” . . .

Dianny’s Ten Most Tiresome People of 2020

Dianny’s Ten Most Tiresome People of 2020   "Tiresome (adj): Causing fatigue or boredom. Exhausting the patience or attention; wearisome; tedious.

"If there’s one word to define 2020, it’s “tiresome.” Let’s face it, this garbage year pretty much exhausted our patience by March. And this is due in large part to a hell of a lot of tiresome people.

"Every year when I put together Dianny’s Ten Most Tiresome People list, I have a tough time winnowing it down to ten. But for 2020, it took me weeks to do the winnowing. I started putting together the Ten Most Tiresome People of 2020 back in November. And trust me, all ten earned their place on the list.

"But for the fact that I limit it to ten, I could easily find another twenty who earned a position here as well.

9. Michelle Obama   "I’m sure you’ll go through the ten and think to yourself “But what about ….?!” then proceed to name some real ******** *** LOSERS. But this isn’t the Ten Biggest ******* and Losers list. I always stick with the most tiresome — those who overstayed their welcome and exhausted our patience. And while the Venn diagram of “********/Losers” and “Tiresome” may intersect, not all ******** and losers are tiresome.

"I give you this caveat every year. But it never seems to stop the “But what about….?!” replies in the comments section.

After failing to make the ten most tiresome people list last year for the first time since I began it, Michelle Obama is back on the list.

I blame it entirely on whoever thought it was a good idea to give her a podcast in 2020.

For nearly two years I didn’t write about this wretched woman. Then Michelle was given a podcast from which to bitch and moan. And here we are all over again.

Because if there’s one thing that is exhausting beyond the telling, it’s Michelle “Multi-Millionaire” Obama whining about what a hard-knock life she has.  . . .

8. Kamala Harris..."America would be stuck with a President and Commander-in-Chief with the intellectual depth of an Inspiration-a-Day calendar and the international gravitas of a vapid beauty contestant." 

7. Joe Biden ... "It isn’t so much Joe himself that’s tiresome as it is the puppet masters pulling his strings."...

3. Nancy Pelosi..."To say Nancy Pelosi is tiresome is an understatement.

"Nancy is loathsome and she doesn’t care if we know it.

"In fact, Nancy gets a certain amount of pleasure out of being a raging C-word.

"Like her childish stunt at this year’s State of the Union Address when she ripped up the President’s speech while the cameras were rolling.

"For someone who claims she is super devout and prayerful, Nancy revels in her nastiness. It’s like mother’s milk to the old broad.

. . . "After yucking it up on late night TV and showing off her $13-dollar a point ice cream while Americans were losing their jobs and businesses due to these lockdowns, are we really supposed to tolerate her sanctimonious lectures?

"Something tells me with “Devout Catholic” Biden in the White House, Nancy’s “I’m a Prayerful Catholic” schtick is going to become even more insufferable than it already is." . . .

COVID-19 Pushes Iconic Rose Bowl Game From Pasadena To Arlington  . . . "Notre Dame and Alabama will face off at AT&T Stadium on Friday afternoon.

"Game officials decided to move the Rose Bowl after the state of California denied two requests to allow certain spectators to attend in person, according to a press release.

“The decision to move the game is based on the growing number of COVID-19 cases in Southern California along with the inability to host player and coach guests at any game in California,” the press release states.

. . . "The mayor bemoaned losing the game and its perennial companion, the Tournament of Roses Parade, for the first time since World War II when both were cancelled because the west coast was deemed unsafe after the Pearl Harbor bombing. That year, the game was played in Durham, North Carolina.

“ 'It’s very sad that the parade and the game will not occur in Pasadena this year,” Gordo said. “The people of Pasadena and beyond, including those in college football, should understand clearly that the Rose Bowl Game, contractually, will be played in the Rose Bowl Stadium on Jan. 1 going forward, absent some world pandemic or world war type of conditions." . . .

Rose Bowl move adds spice to California-Texas tug-of-war  . . . The California-Texas rivalry has taken two surprising twists: The Rose Bowl will be played near Dallas while the gap between the two state’s jobless rates reached a 14-year low.

"Pasadena’s annual college football classic is taking a pandemic-era detour amid California business limitations so the teams can face off in front of fans. This follows a string of Texas “victories” such as key California corporations relocating their headquarters to the Lone Star State not to mention 297,000 more Californians leaving for Texas than arriving during the past decade.

"Efforts to quell the coronavirus have been one of 2020’s biggest business debates. Critics of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s lockdowns and the state’s long-perceived anti-business bias frequently cite low-regulation Texas as a prime example of how governments should handle their economies.

"Take California’s refusal to relax rules so families of the two Rose Bowl teams could watch in person. The college football gods opted to move the New Year’s Day game to a stadium in Arlington, Texas, where up to 16,000 people will be allowed to attend. By the way, Pasadena’s signature Rose Parade has long been canceled due to similar restrictions on crowds." . . .
