9+ Democrats Who Should Be Ousted From Their Committees by the Marjorie Taylor Greene Standard

PJ Media  "On Thursday, House Democrats, with the help of a few Republicans, took the unprecedented step of voting to strip Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) of her committee assignments, for her past embrace of QAnon conspiracy theories.

"Their action came with a warning from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who said of Democrats, “I would remind them what Leader McConnell said when Democrats voted to nuke the judicial filibuster: ‘You’ll regret this. And you may regret this a lot sooner than you think.'”

“If people are held to what they have said prior to even being in this House, if the majority party gets to decide who sits on what other committees, I hope you keep that standard, because we have a long list you can work with in your own,” McCarthy added.

"Make no mistake about it, 2022 is fast approaching, and I’d put money on the GOP retaking the majority. Remember, the GOP managed to gain seats in 2020, despite predictions of losing more seats. Also, historically speaking, midterm elections are usually pretty bad for the party in power. So, in the event that the Republican Party gains control, they will now have a precedent giving them the green light to strip Democrats of committee assignments for embracing conspiracy theories and other unseemly behavior. Here’s a list of Democrats they should start with." . . .Keep reading... The most obvious to me are Waters, Schiff, and Swalwell.



Biden, AOC, Pelosi, Swalwell, and..... well, all Hollywood's favorites

 Don’t you dare insult our valued Hollywood stars!  . . . "After the Twitter back-and-forth, Saad wrote up an essay for Psychology Today (which you can find archived here) in which he quoted at length from their exchange. He concluded that Rogen is a “hypocritical fraud” and that he and the other leftists in his world are “vacuous parasitic virtue-signalers”:

Bottom line: In order for a signal to be an honest one, it must be handicapping; it must be costly to the one who emits the signal.  Raif Badawi lived out his convictions. He engaged in costly signalling.  Seth Rogen and other champagne socialists do not live out their convictions. They are vacuous parasitic virtue signallers who wear Che Guevara t-shirts from the luxury of their Malibu homes.  Be the former and reject the latter.

"The article took off, probably because people were delighted to see someone speak honestly about the vapid hypocrisy that permeates Hollywood. Psychology Today, though, pulled the article: . . ."

Marvel Comics to Edit ‘Immortal Hulk’ After Critics Call Artwork Anti-Semitic

In the comic, Syaf, an artist from Muslim-majority Indonesia, featured a reference to the Koran verse Al Maidah 5:51, which urges Muslims not to take Christians and Jews as allies. The number 212, which is a direct reference to the protests held against the Christian governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnamaon, was also add in an issue.

 CNN’s First Ratings of the Biden Era Are a Disaster


"MSNBC actually fared the best of the big three networks in the final week of January, edging out Fox News.
"Tucker Carl[s]on, according to the numbers, was the only program across all three networks in primetime to maintain the same level of viewership during Biden’s first week and remained relatively steady throughout January." . . .


CNN saw their ratings crater by 44 percent in the first week of the Biden administration, something Variety says “may offer a portent of what the post-Trump era will be like for the network.”
"Primetime numbers for the pro-Biden network steadily declined throughout January from record highs but dropped significantly more than other networks during the final week.
"They also struggled with some very important demographics.
. . . 
"It’s Trump’s Fault
"Remarkably, Stelter goes on to suggest that Fox News’ ratings struggles are the fault of former President Donald Trump.
“ 'Is this Trump’s fault?” he opined, asking a question that likely runs through his head every morning, noon, and night.
"“President Trump helped the network in the short term — but ultimately the network hurt Trump and he wounded them too,” he added. “‘Never before had a network been so closely affiliated with a commander in chief,’ WaPo’s Sarah Ellison and Jeremy Barr wrote Tuesday.”

Biden’s New Asst Sec of State Worked for Islamic Terror State That Funds Hamas

 Frontpage


“ 'I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada,” Hady Amr wrote a year after September 11, discussing his work as the national coordinator of the anti-Israel Middle East Justice Network.

"Biden has now chosen Amr as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israel-Palestine.

"I have news for every Israeli," Amr ranted in one column written after Sheikh Salah Shahada, the head of Hamas' Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, was taken out by an Israeli air strike.

"Amr warned that Arabs "now have televisions, and they will never, never forget what the Israeli people, the Israeli military and Israeli democracy have done to Palestinian children. And there will be thousands who will seek to avenge these brutal murders of innocents."

"He also threatened Americans that "we too shouldn't be shocked when our military assistance to Israel and our security council vetoes that keep on protecting Israel come back to haunt us"

The future State Department official was making these threats less than a year after 9/11" . . .

Hady Amr and other reasons for glee in Ramallah - opinion  . . . "PRACTICALLY FROM the moment that Trump assumed office in January 2017, PA President Mahmoud Abbas and his lackeys realized that they were in for a rude awakening. The new sheriff in town was not buying their tired attempts at manipulation. As far as Trump and his team were concerned, the Palestinian victim card was no longer in the game, let alone cause for capitulation." . . .

Why Dick Cheney's daughter lost her party

Against Crony Capitalism

on Surber  "Dick Cheney's daughter lectured Republican congressmen on decorum, earning seal-like applause from National Review. The headline was a hoot, "Liz Cheney: ‘We Cannot Become the Party of QAnon.’ "

"She had just survived an unusual vote to strip her of her party leadership. In response, she became the teacher chastising the class for their behavior when the substitute teacher presided. 

"Her full statement, according to National Review, was, "I have to tell you I am really, deeply, deeply concerned about where we are as a party."

Lie No. 1. Dick's daughter could no more care about her party than her father does. They got theirs. She just uses Republicans to get power. Did you see any Cheneys campaigning for the party's presidential nomination last year? I didn't.

"She went on, saying, "I am very concerned about the extent to which we are spending all of our time on these issues and these battles and not on the battles that really matter, the battles over substance, the battles over ensuring that we don’t watch the Biden administration go down the path where they have an open runway to absolutely eliminate our freedom."" . . .

. . . "Dick's daughter can keep her phony baloney leadership post and work to ride Marjorie Taylor Greene out of Washington on a rail.

"But I doubt Wyomingites will re-elect the Dick's daughter because they now realize she is just another Democrat living in Washington. She's a plain Jane version of Meghan McCain, but just as spoiled.

"She lost her party because she failed to do a damned thing for the voters.  . . ."

As Socialism Becomes More Popular, Its Problems Become More Obvious

Bruce Deitrick Price  "Socialism promises a fairer society.  Many people, regardless of their political labels, respond to this goal.  Even some Christians see socialism and Christianity as converging belief systems.  Both sides say we have a moral duty to care for the needy and hungry.

"Any advocacy of socialism generates at least some degree of sympathetic agreement.  Some suspect that socialism, compared to capitalism, occupies the moral high ground.

"The problem that quickly arises is the matter of choice or free will.  Will you accept socialism only because a powerful government threatens you?  If you are compelled to do something, the spirituality goes out of it. 

"Even if you become a socialist because you believe it’s the enlightened choice, many dangers loom.  Mainly, can you withdraw from a socialist agenda if it starts to be oppressive and indeed murderous?  How do you back up?  Ask the Venezuelans." . . .

Cornell law professor creates online database of 220 universities teaching critical race theory to help parents choose colleges that don't make the 'racist ideology' mandatory

UK Daily Mail "A Cornell Law School professor has launched a new database which lists schools teaching critical race theory, after blasting the practice as ‘very racist’ and accusing ‘anti-racism ideology’ of causing discrimination on campuses.

"William Jacobson appeared on Fox News on Thursday night to speak about the site, which he claims will help parents avoid sending their children to schools where they will be ‘indoctrinated’ into thinking that the ‘most important thing in society is the color of your skin’. 

"Jacobson, the founder of the conservative website Legal Insurrection, launched the site earlier this week and has already listed 220 universities and their approaches to critical race theory, which Fox host Tucker Carlson branded as the notion that ‘some races are inherently better than other races’.

"Broadly, critical race theory says that white supremacy is an ideology that is baked into the structures of society and particularly the law - and that to deal with it, everyone who is white should acknowledge how they have benefited from it, or become 'privileged.'

"But critics say that it leaves people exposed to the training feeling that they are being blamed for problems that they did not cause - such as slavery and Jim Crow - and that it is itself racially divisive." . . .

From Legal Insurrection: “what’s being taught on campuses is that the … most important thing … is the color of your skin”

Biden’s Banana Republic

  Issues & Insights

"New York Times reporter has suggested the president appoint a “reality czar,” who would lead “a cross-agency task force to tackle disinformation and domestic extremism.” Please tell us, comrade, when the show trials begin. We don’t want to miss them.

"The author of this idea is Times technology reporter Kevin Roose, who was writing about “how the Biden administration can help solve our reality crisis.” His is not a lone recommendation on how the ruling class should re-educate, curb, and cancel the unruly masses to the right of center. Others want the Biden White House to establish various versions of George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth, which was itself a ministry of propaganda. The Democrats and allied activists are itching to shut down speech they don’t agree with, but do it under the cover of preserving and honoring “truth.”

"Odd, isn’t it, that the same people who claim to be so interested in truth and reality today for four years couldn’t stop talking about how the Russians put Donald Trump in the White House? Maybe they’re engrossed only with their version of the truth – their own fantasies and efforts to indoctrinate an entire population.

"A country and a culture are in trouble when those in authority allow only one voice to be heard, when they decide what is acceptable speech and what isn’t, when the controversial and the unpopular are treated as crimes to be punished. Biden hasn’t bitten – yet – on a reality czar or ministry of truth. But under his administration, this country is shaping up as a banana republic. Think about: . . ."

There’s No Reason for Biden to Reward Iran

"Column: Sanctions relief didn't bring stability in 2015. And it won't now

And one for the Ayatollah too.

 Matthew Continetti   "Back in September, Joe Biden described his Iran policy in 
an op-ed for CNN. After several paragraphs criticizing President Trump, Biden made an "unshakable commitment to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon." Then he offered Tehran "a credible path back to diplomacy." The terms were simple. "If Iran returns to strict compliance with the nuclear deal," Biden wrote, "the United States would rejoin the agreement as a starting point for follow-on negotiations." Sanctions would be lifted. And Biden is sticking with his plan. Recently Tom Friedman asked him if the offer stands. "It's going to be hard," Biden replied, "but yeah."

"Sure, Biden admitted, the agreement did not cover Iran's missile programs, or support for terrorism, or human-rights violations, or malign behavior in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. Absolutely, it contained a sunset clause that freed Iran of its obligations, and limited inspections to non-military installations. True, Iran maintained its archive of nuclear weapons research (until Israel revealed it to the world in 2018). And yes, the regional dynamic has changed. But these are secondary issues. "The best way to achieve getting some stability in the region," Biden said, is "with the nuclear program."

"Come again?" . . .

Hell hath no fury like...Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi’s latest stunt proves she’s obsessed with President Trump  . . . "Clearly, Pelosi, 80, hates Trump now that he dismisses her as “Crazy Nancy” and “a sick puppy,” says her teeth are falling out and refuses to talk to her.

" 'But love and hate are closely intertwined in the human condition. Nothing makes a woman more spiteful than unrequited love.' " . . .

 CNN To Give ISIS Equal Time To Respond To Trump's State Of The Union

ATLANTA, GA—In the interest of fairness in broadcasting, CNN has announced the cable news channel will give members of ISIS equal time to respond to President Trump's State of the Union address later this evening.

Several ISIS representatives will be allowed to give a full address responding to the president's remarks, criticizing him for his border security stance and debunking his claims on the need for a wall along the southern border of the country.

"Americans deserve to hear from every perspective, whether that's the bad orange man or these brave freedom fighters," said a CNN spokesperson. "We will give them a fair hearing and see what they have to say. We're confident it will be an informed and interesting perspective, unlike whatever drivel we hear from the orange man."

"Did we mention he is bad? He is bad," the spokesperson added.

ISIS has thanked CNN for the opportunity, calling the station "a true friend of democracy."

Liberals 'Heart' Murderers

 Ann Coulter   "I assume it’s overkill to continue listing the evidence against death row inmate Kevin Cooper, duly convicted of committing a quadruple murder back in 1983. The blinding proof of his guilt was covered in last week’s column.

"To review, this included shoeprint evidence, footprint evidence, cigarette and tobacco evidence, blood evidence and DNA evidence, proving that this violent rapist and mental hospital escapee:

"— hid out in a house next to Doug and Peggy Ryen’s Chino Hills, California, home for two days after escaping from prison;

"— used a hatchet and hunting knife taken from his hideout to hack to death two adults and two children at the Ryen home and critically wound a third child;

"— stole the family’s station wagon and later abandoned it in Long Beach, along with his DNA on prison-issued cigarettes, before escaping to Mexico;

"— returned to California, where he raped a woman at knifepoint, leading to his capture.

"This week, we’ll consider the specific claims made by The New York Times’ Nicholas Kristof purporting to raise doubts about Cooper’s guilt.

"Kristof’s special pleading proves that no one on death row is innocent. I didn’t pick this case. The anti-death penalty zealots picked it, splashing it across the “Newspaper of Record.”  I have to believe they didn’t choose their worst example to showcase, so let’s look at the honesty of their arguments about Kevin Cooper." . . . Full article here
