Reminder: Gutfeld on CNN tearing into Trump supporters
CNN's Don Lemon made fun of Trump supporters and said they don't deserve respect; Greg Gutfeld and 'The Five' react. #FoxNews #TheFive
Trump’s call to Georgia’s secretary of state is Brad Raffensperger's dodge
"What was actually said on the call, which included several other members of the Trump team, was quite different. Trump himself stated: "We think that if you check the signatures — a real check of the signatures going back in Fulton County you'll find at least a couple of hundred thousand of forged signatures. ..." *
Tadas Klimas "The Internet is aflame about President Trump’s Jan. 3 call to the Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s secretary of state.
"Any semi-honest perusal of the transcript will force a conclusion that not only was there nothing wrong with Trump’s statements, but that Raffensperger’s position is nothing but a dodge, a subterfuge, a bid cover up his own failure to do his job and follow the law.
"Raffenberger's dodge is this: To assert that anonymous state government employees have “investigated” allegations, so that there is nothing to speak about, all the while keeping the “reports” of the investigations secret.
"If there are any.
"An especially slick part of the dodge is that it is largely anonymous government employees being complained about, both in the execution of acts of fraud and in regard to their investigation (or cover-up).
"An attorney for Trump, Cleta Mitchell, who participated in the call came close to spotting this. She said:
[Y]ou have data and records that we don’t have access to. And you can keep telling us and making public statem[ent[s] that you investigated this and nothing to see here. But we don’t know about that. All we know is what you tell us. What I don’t understand is why wouldn’t it be in everyone’s best interest to try to get to the bottom, compare the numbers, you know, if you say, because . . . to try to be able to get to the truth because we don’t have any way of confirming what you’re telling us. You tell us that you had an investigation at the State Farm Arena. I don’t have any report. I’ve never seen a report of investigation. I don’t know that is. I’ve been pretty involved in this, and I don’t know.
"The salient point is that there is no honest, above-board, reason to hide the reports. Not one single solitary reason, and there is every reason, if one is serving the public, to make certain they are made public and reviewable." . . .*
Totalitarian Left Promises Purges And Punishment For All Trump Voters
By trying to name and shame Trump supporters, the ‘Trump Accountability Project’ betrays a preference for Soviet-style retribution over a commitment to basic decency.
"If 2020 didn’t already feel enough of a Kafkaesque nightmare, the latest bit of depravity from the “hate has no home here” totalitarian left is a ghoulish scheme announced by three former Barack Obama and Pete Buttigieg staffers on Twitter last week called “The Trump Accountability Project.” Aspiring apparatchiks Emily Abrams, Michael Simon, and Hari Sevugan lauded the website whose stated mission is to “never forget those who furthered the Trump agenda.”
"According to the now privatized site, whose internet archives were captured, anyone associated with the Trump administration, including those who elected him, staffed his government, funded him, endorsed him, worked in law firms for him, and who supported him in general, should be “held accountable.”
"The site includes a comprehensive list of “known collaborators,” including U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, White House Chief of Staff Mike Meadows, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, campaign advisors Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon, and the 56 federal judges, including U.S. Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, appointed by President Trump. No one is spared: assistants, receptionists, stenographers, calligraphers—our diligent Comrades know how to name names.
"The idea of punishing people who have supported Trump also surfaced among media types including Jake Tapper of CNN and Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post. All of them have called for at least social recriminations such as keeping the “guilty” from being able to support themselves and their families through paid employment." . . .
Good grief! Has America come to this? 'Whisperers' of Stalin's Russia Find Their Voice . . . "Private life in communist Russia, he says, reduced people to a breed of whisperers — people scared to give full voice to doubts or dissidence, and whispering dark secrets behind the backs of neighbors, friends and even family. Stalin's regime relied heavily on "mutual surveillance," urging families to report on each other in communal living spaces and report "disloyalty." Many people did what they could to survive, but they dealt with shame and guilt long after Stalin's reign." . . .
Chuck Todd melts down on air when his bias is challenged, then makes it worse
Thomas Lifson . . . "Todd must have been expecting another Republican patsy when he framed the interview (complete video embedded below) as about “the Republican effort to delegitimize Joe Biden’s election,” claiming “there was no widespread fraud,” there is “no chance of overturning the election,” and “it looks like it is being done to curry favor with President Trump.”
But Senator Johnson didn’t take the bait and calmy began with his extremely important work on Covid therapies, the ability of physicians to effectively treat early-stage cases with widely available, safe, cheap medications. (This December 8, 2020 hearing chaired by Johnson is very eye-opening, and the fact the medical establishment is largely ignoring if not suppressing these therapies is the greatest public health scandal since the Tuskegee studies.) The senator then moved on to point to facts and the fireworks began. Nicholas Fondacaro of Newsbusters describes the melee:" . . .
. . . "Propaganda media rose to defend Todd, but Ric Grenell provoked Todd into de facto admitting defeat by blocking him (hat tip: Red State)" . . .
Chuck’s shaking in his chair and his voice is cracking. He doesn’t like being confronted with the truth. Wow, Ron Johnson really got to Chuck Todd.
Democrats being Democrats
“As the Party of Lincoln, Republicans understand what it means to carry our constituents’ concerns with us at all times,” McCarthy said.
"Pelosi’s slim hold on the speakership came after Democrats lost ten house seats this past November.
"The majority of the losses came from moderate districts that had previously voted for Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump." . . .
Democrat Ends Prayer to Open Congress with 'Amen and Awoman' . . . "As Reschenthaler pointed out, the word “amen” is Latin for “so be it.” “It’s not a gendered word,” Reschenthaler wrote. “Unfortunately, facts are irrelevant to progressives."

The media are lying about Trump's phone call with Raffensperger
Andrea Widburg "The mainstream media and Georgia's secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, are utterly disgraceful, dishonest, and manipulative people. Raffensperger released a private phone call that the media immediately claimed — falsely — showed Trump begging Raffensperger to fraudulently find enough votes for Trump to win. In fact, Trump called Raffensperger to get him to stop obstructing the fraud investigation. As Trump explained during the call, evidence proves Trump won Georgia by a massive margin, only to have victory stolen through equally massive fraud. Trump sought to avoid litigation forcing Raffensperger to do his job, which is to make at least a minimal effort to clear away enough fraud to allow Trump his actual and honest victory in Georgia.
"Here are just two examples of the media's dishonest claim that Trump was trying to force Raffensperger to commit fraud. As you can see, their premise is that there is no evidence of fraud, so any action on Trump's part to claim victory is itself fraud. Theirs is a deliberate example of circular logic, where their premise and conclusion are the same thing.
"Washington Post: "The Washington Post obtained a recording of the conversation in which Trump alternately berated Raffensperger, tried to flatter him, begged him to act and threatened him with vague criminal consequences if the secretary of state refused to pursue his false claims, at one point warning that Raffensperger was taking 'a big risk.'"
"CNN: "In excerpts of the stunning one-hour phone call Saturday, Trump lambasted his fellow Republican for refusing to falsely say that he won the election in Georgia and repeatedly touted baseless claims of election fraud."
"Here's what really happened on the phone call. First, Trump wasn't the only person on the phone. Also present were Mark Meadows, Mike Pompeo, and multiple attorneys. There isn't the slightest chance that they would have allowed Trump to beg Raffensperger for illegal votes or to threaten him." . . .
That is more than enough votes to flip the state of Georgia.
It also puts Raffensperger on notice! We have the fraud! Now do your job.
"LOL: Georgia Secretary of State Suggests Pres Trump Could Face Criminal Charges Over Call…" "Yeah except the criminality is from the edited call. The actual call, literally nothing criminal is said, done or suggested. "Via DailyCaller:
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger suggested Monday the Fulton County District Attorney could launch a criminal probe into his leaked weekend phone call with President Donald Trump.
Trump berated Raffensperger in a Saturday phone call “to find” enough votes for him to win the state, according to a recording obtained by the Washington Post. The president lost Georgia to President-Elect Joe Biden by 11,779 votes during the November election.

AMERICAN NEWS Mother Jones praised Kavanaugh accuser but calls Biden accuser Tara Reade one of 'top ten lunatics of 2020'
The Post Millennial The progressive magazine Mother Jones included Tara Reade, who accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her, in an article published on New Years' Eve titled "Top Ten Lunatics of 2020."
"She insisted that Joe Biden had sexually molested her in some way, but now it appears to have been just a fantasy made up by a habitually unreliable person," wrote contributor Kevin Drum. . . "Reade, a former staffer for Joe Biden's Senate office, accused Biden of sexually assaulting her on Capitol Hill. Her testimony came under intense scrutiny after she changed details of the alleged assault, and it was later revealed that she had a history of fraud. Critics of the #MeToo movement have argued that the treatment of Tara Reade amounts to a double standard by the media, whereby Republicans and conservatives accused of sexual assault are assumed to be guilty whereas Democrats facing similar accusations are given the benefit of the doubt. Mother Jones has a history of supporting the #MeToo movement, with Drum himself penning an article in 2018 where he stated his belief that Christine Blasey Ford, who accused then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in their teens, was telling the truth.
"I think it’s obvious that Christine Blasey Ford was telling the truth and that Kavanaugh told a lot of lies," Drum wrote in September of 2018.
It is absolutely disgusting that @MotherJones chose to include a woman coming forward about her sexual assault in the list of "Top 10 Lunatics of the Year." https://t.co/SRoWClA52j

Democrat Wins in Georgia Would Allow Biden to Fulfill Vow to Sign LGBT Equality Act
"Democrat victories in the Georgia Senate runoff elections would allow Joe Biden to follow through on his promise to sign the Equality Act in his first 100 days as president, a measure that would codify gender ideology into federal law." . . .
. . . "The legislation, as introduced in Congress, states its purpose is to “prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation, and for other purposes.” If enacted, the bill would essentially codify gender ideology into federal law.
"Prohibiting discrimination and promoting equality sound virtuous, but many serious opponents — including a coalition of conservatives, feminists, lesbians, and Christians — warned Americans prior to the House’s vote on the measure that the Equality Act is dangerous legislation that will do anything but create equality. In fact, the legislation would likely force American women to relinquish their rights to privacy, safety, and the ability to compete in sports “equally”:
WOW! The Women’s Liberation Front is opposed to the Equality Act, embraced by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, because it would harm women's rights. https://t.co/FskapglOq6

Biden calls Buttigieg’s husband ‘Kirsten,’ snubs gay GOP cabinet member
NY Post "President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday mangled his rollout of Pete Buttigieg as the “first” gay cabinet nominee — using a female name for Buttigieg’s husband and omitting mention of President Trump having named the first gay cabinet-level official.
"Biden noted his fondness for Buttigieg’s husband “Kirsten” during a speech in Wilmington, Del., as he formally named the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor as his nominee for transportation secretary.
"Biden also snubbed Ric Grenell, whom Trump celebrated this year as the first gay cabinet member when he worked three months as acting director of national intelligence.
“ 'His husband is an educator — always, always the mark of good character, it’s the way I look at it,” Biden said of Buttigieg.
“ 'And by the way, Jill and I have always enjoyed seeing Pete and Kirsten — Chasten, I should say — together on the trail. Chasten has become a close friend of Jill’s and mine.”
"Buttigieg, 38, won the Iowa caucuses in terms of delegate count this year but endorsed Biden in an effort to stop socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who had won the popular vote in the first three states.
"Biden made the embarrassing mistake while saying Buttigieg would be among a “cabinet of firsts.' ” . . .
What Rep. Cleaver did would be laughable if it weren't sacrilegious and stupid
"But try telling that to Emanuel Cleaver (and I still can't get over the fact that this man is a pastor who graduated from the St. Paul School of Theology in Oklahoma City). When Cleaver, a Democrat United States representative from Missouri, gave the prayer for the 117th Congress on Sunday, he decided to de-gender the word "amen" and added "a-women" to his prayer:.
."
Andrea Widburg "On Saturday, news broke that the Democrats are going to remove all gendered words from the House of Representatives. On Sunday, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a pastor, opened the 117th Congress with a prayer. At its conclusion, he said "amen," and then added "a-women." What he said was both stupid and sacrilegious.
However, the House is also going to do away with gendered words that apply specifically to the realities of human biology. No longer will there be "sons and daughters" or "mothers and fathers," or any other descriptors that are tied to genetic codes that make people male or female. Instead, there will be "parents" and "children," as well as other "gender-neutral" language, as if there is no difference between the sexes.
This is not an inconsequential change. It is, instead, part of the left's entire push to force Americans to deny reality. Reality is that humans, like all mammals, break down into two sexes: male and female. The sexes have different body types, different brain structures, and different reproductive functions.
The prayer to open the 117th Congress ended with "amen and a-women."

News and "entertainment" media leave a trail of slime
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I'm hoping Dr. Jill becomes the Surgeon General. Joe Biden's wife. She would never do it but, yeah, she's a hell of a doctor. She's an amazing doctor. -The View, March 4, 2020
Buttering Up Biden: How ‘The View’ Spent 2020, Shilling for Joe Biden "Even before he was the official Democrat nominee for president, Joe Biden’s friends at The View regularly and religiously propped up his campaign this year. Whether it was parroting the Democrat’s overt lies or even touting his wife’s so-called medical qualifications, the candidate could always count on the talk show hosts to volunteer as his PR team.
"Here's the year's worst examples of the sycophantic hosts defending and protecting the Democrat:" . . .
Shill: "A shill is a hustler or con-person who tries to convince other people to buy something or think something is great ( shilling ). The shill has ulterior motives for their actions, usually because they are the actual seller or have something to gain if the product sells well. The word shill has a complicated history, oddly appropriate considering the underhanded meaning of the slang word."
The Media’s Four-Year War Against the Trump Presidency . . . "While every President has their critics in the press, the Trump presidency has been unique in that a massive percentage of the media — hosts, columnists, commentators, contributors, anchors and working reporters — openly mock and disparage the President of the United States, often to the cheers of their brethren. Here’s eight minutes of their worst:" . . . Revealing videos showing a contemptible press:
After four years, our research documents a liberal media establishment that jettisoned its last professional restraints to become active opponents of the President of the United States:
There’s something peculiar about the vandalism at Pelosi’s house
"A local media outlet, KPIX, reported the story:
The new year brought a disturbing discovery at the San Francisco home of U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, where, early Friday morning, vandals spray-painted her house and left a severed pig’s head in front of her garage.
The graffiti says “Cancel rent” and “We want everything” — possibly referencing coronavirus stimulus checks. There was also a severed pig’s head in a pool of red paint left in front of the garage door.
"The original story made Antifa look simultaneously sympathetic and really bad. The good part was the “cancel rent” statement. The bad part was the vandalism itself. No civilized people want to be victims of ugly graffiti nor do they want it to happen to others, including San Fran Nan, no matter how vile her politics. Moreover, Pelosi’s position may make the vandalism a federal crime.
"At first pass, the photo of the damage is very ugly. The garage door is completely covered with graffiti and the pig’s head is disturbing:" . . .
