Disney versus Gina Carano
"Disney claimed that what Ms. Carano said was an affront to a cultural and religious group. I assume thereby Disney mean Jews. However, what she said is not offensive to any Jew whose sense of fairness and justice is appalled by the new McCarthyism being directed at political conservatives." Rabbi Aryeh Spero
Disney versus Gina Carano: Spot the dangerous bigots . . . "Furthermore, what began as denying Trump supporters the basic courtesy of eating in restaurants, as was the case with Sarah Huckabee, has degenerated into harassing conservatives; punching them out at public events and while walking on the street; pounding on the doors of their private residences; demands for their firings at places of work; denying them financial credit; shooting at them while playing ball; and a general knee-jerk maligning of them by the media and opinion-shaping institutions. There have even been calls by powerful political activists to “get rid of their kind” and make sure “they never rise again.”
"Many understand the harmful and malicious goals of those who speak of “their kind” and making sure “they never rise again.” And though the German mischaracterization and cancellation against Jews during the 1930s was an unmatched, horrific category in and of itself, what we are witnessing in America from progressives against tens of millions of Trump supporters and conservatives is one of the most dangerous and un-American phenomena in American history. This deserves discussion. And while progressives may claim that their agenda against conservatives is not based on bigotry but what is good for the country, this refrain has been expressed many times before in history by those intent on destroying their opponents." . . .
Reason Can’t Prevail Against an Irrational Opposition | Intellectual Takeout . . . "Disney will get away with the Carano firing, and in a week the incident will be forgotten, yet another sign of the fact that we are losing.
"We are losing because our side assumes that reason can prevail when it comes to the confrontation of ideas. It can—but only when both sides are committed to reason. It’s useless to attempt to reason when the opposition is doggedly irrational. You will always lose an argument with someone who insists that two plus two equals five just as easily as it equals four, and meanwhile you will have wasted both time and energy." . . .
. . . "Before I am accused of inciting violence, let me be clear that the sword we need to wield is a figurative one of boycotts, strikes, and protests. Why should any reasonable person patronize Disney? Going further, we must establish cultural alternatives to the left-loving pop hegemony that rules our lives, as Carano seems to now be doing. Reason will not work against the likes of people who somehow manage to see the “denigration” of minority cultures in sensible comments such as Carano’s." . . .
To Prove Cancel Culture Doesn't Exist, Disney Fires Actress Who Condemned Cancel Culture | The Babylon Bee . . . "According to Lucasfilm, Carano was given the opportunity to grovel, promise to do better, renounce her beliefs, and agree to undergo 8 weeks in a Disney reeducation camp if she wished to keep her job. When she refused, she was let go.
""We gave her the chance to avoid cancelation by telling her to recant her belief that cancel culture is real," said Kennedy. "We then tried to burn her at the stake, but our lawyers informed us that's still illegal. For now."
" 'Only when we force everyone to believe the same thing can we defeat fascism."
California Democrat Eric Swalwell Refers to “God Herself”
Moonbattery Eric Swalwell Refers to "God Herself" - Moonbattery "Here’s some surprising news: a prominent Democrat appears to believe in God. Former presidential candidate Eric Swalwell — best known for being compromised by a ChiCom spy, for threatening the use of nuclear weapons against American citizens, and for the resounding robustness of his on-camera flatulence — refer[r]ed to the Almighty while quacking duckspeak about the impeachment farce. Unsurprisingly, he assigned God to a politically correct identity group: . . ."

Trump impeachment lawyer Michael van der Veen's home vandalized
Yahoo Vandals targeted the home of one of former President Donald Trump's impeachment lawyers, spray-painting the word "TRAITOR" in red on the driveway of his suburban Philadelphia home, police said.
"The vandalism occurred around 8 p.m. on Friday at attorney Michael van der Veen's residence in West Whiteland Township, Pennsylvania, about 30 miles southwest of Philadelphia, according to police
"No arrests have been made, Detective Scott Pezick of the West Whiteland Township Police Department told the Associated Press. Pezick said private security has since been hired by the homeowner to protect the residence, and police presence has been beefed up in van der Veen's neighborhood." . . .
Trump Attorney Van Der Veen RIPS CBS HACK – Then Pulls Off Mic and Walks Away!
Gateway Pundit . . . "Trump Attorney Michael van der Veen spoke with CBS News following the acquittal of his client President Donald Trump by the US Senate in the second frivolous impeachment attempt by Speaker Nancy Pelosi. . . .

CNN’s Jake Tapper really stuck his foot in his mouth when he insulted Florida’s Republican Representative, Brian Mast.
Jake Tapper CNN News Idiot – Grrr Graphics
. . . "Tapper questioned his patriotism after Mast supported an effort to look into the election fraud. Jake said something about Mast fighting for Democracy in Afghanistan and then added “Although I don’t know about his commitment to it here in the United States.”
"Tapper was wrong on so many levels with that statement. We’re not in Afghanistan to bring them Democracy. We are still there for geopolitical reasons, as well as to protect the opium fields for CIA drug runners. Secondly, America is a Republic, not a Democracy, which has become the Democrats’ code word for ’socialism.’ Thirdly, to question a well-decorated military man’s patriotism after he lost his legs in service of his country is deeply insulting to us all.
"It probably shouldn’t be surprising, though. Tapper loves to insult those who aren’t aligned with his own network echo chamber.
"Along with the ADL, he helped make sure I was disinvited from the White House media summit back in 2018. He has repeatedly stated on Twitter that I’ve drawn ‘anti-Semitic’ cartoons. This is a blatant lie. I’ve never drawn an anti-Semitic cartoon—ever. It’s not anti-Semitic to criticize central bankers and globalist corporations having an influence on our politics. Tapper rakes in $4 million per year toadying to his corporate masters." . . .
What’s Up with Fox News?
Peter Barry Chowka . . . "The fact is that Fox News has never been more conservative than it is right now. In the past, Fox News featured a variety of leftists and non-conservatives on its prime-time schedule. For two decades, Bill O’Reilly ruled the roost at 8 PM ET. He claimed he is not a conservative – instead, he described himself as a “no spin guy” who complimented Barack Obama for being “a stand-up guy.” Also in prime time on the channel starting in 1999 was Paula Zahn, who joined Fox after a stint at CBS News. She went on to host a program at CNN after she left Fox. Megyn Kelly, who outed herself as center-left after she went to NBC in 2017, was another prime time star at Fox News for a number of years prior to jumping ship.
"Meanwhile, since the fall of 2017, following a year of turmoil and uncertainty, FNC has had the most rock solid conservative opinion show lineup ever in prime time on any channel, featuring hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham. All three of their (usually) live shows (8-11 PM ET) are repeated for West coast viewers starting at 9 PM PT. On weekends, FNC’s superb hosts include Mark Levin (whose Sunday show features the best long form interviews on television), Jesse Watters, Jeanine Pirro, and Greg Gutfeld.
"The conservative critics of Fox News cherry pick a limited number of recent incidents and claim that they define FNC, including Melissa Francis shutting down a discussion of George Soros on Outnumbered (Soros’s influence has been covered at length on Tucker Carlson’s and Steve Hilton’s programs, among others); the Fox News Decision Desk’s early election night call of Arizona for Joe Biden – a prediction that held up (subsequently one of the experts who engineered that call has left the channel); and the sudden departure on February 5 of popular Fox Business host Lou Dobbs (reportedly in the works for some time, with one of his time slots given to Larry Kudlow, Director of the National Economic Council from 2018 to 2021 and a staunch defender of Donald Trump)." . . .
Seven turncoats
Their constant reference to our Constitution is a joke; they have no reverence for our founding document, none at all. Those seven treasonous faux Republicans voted with the pro-violence, anti-law-enforcement crowd.
"Burr, (NC), Sasse, (NE), Romney, (UT), Collins,(ME), Murkowski, (AK), Cassidy,(LA), Toomey, (PA)
I have learned to hate all traitors, and there is no disease that I spit on more than treachery. Aeschylus
"Is it their own moral narcissism as Roger Simon suspects, a misplaced sense of their own moral righteousness? It can’t be because their constituents wanted them to vote guilty. They will likely each be censured in their home states for their betrayal.
"Is it their own insecurity re: their membership in the swamp? Is it money? Were they somehow paid for their guilty votes? That would surprise no one.
"We’ve long known that Romney’s hatred for Trump ate his brain, destroyed any core values he ever had, if he had them. Murkowski has never been a reliable conservative nor has Susan Collins. They are both Democrats in their heart of hearts. Cassidy was a Democrat all his life until 2006, so he too is a fake republican." . . .

Democrat lies called out
Trump Defense Team Just Destroyed One of the Most Persistent of Democrat Lies | The Spectator | Truth Conquers All " . . .Among the things they did was show Democrats if they’re trying to criminalize or impeach based on speech, that Democrats had far more questionable comments ‘inciting’ in the past than President Donald Trump did in his Jan. 6 speech, who said to supporters to act “peacefully and patriotically.” The defense showed the utter hypocrisy of the Democrats using their own words in a terrific video compilation. If one should impeach for such words, then all of them should be impeached. They also showed that if Democrats were trying to demonize or impeach for objecting to or raising questions about the electoral count, that Democrats themselves had done it many times in the past, including Democratic lead impeachment manager, Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had not only done it but had praised the process of doing it, saying it was important to democracy. The defense also juxtaposed the Democrats’ words that seemed to encourage rioting with scenes from the BLM/Antifa riots and brought up the issue of Democrats like Kamala Harris donating to a bail fund to help those arrested during the rioting." . . .
Hillary's years of trashing trump video:
5 Must-Watch Moments From Trump's Impeachment Defense (pjmedia.com) "Trump’s lawyers dismantled this argument, piece by piece. They exposed Democrats’ hypocrisy on alleged incitement, highlighted the Democrats’ extensive use of the term “fight” in a political context, revealed how Democrats repeatedly questioned the legitimacy of election results, and demonstrated that the Democrat impeachment managers had selectively edited Trump’s January 6 remarks.
“This case, unfortunately, is about political hatred. It has become very clear that the House Democrats hate Donald Trump. This type of political hatred has no place in our political institutions and certainly no place in the law,” Michael Van Der Veen, one of Trump’s lawyers, argued. “This hatred has led the House managers to manipulate and selectively edit Mr. Trump’s speech and make it falsely appear that he sought to incite the crowd to violently attack the Capitol. He didn’t and we will show you why.' ” ' ' '
. . . "But one of the other things that the defense did was call out one of the House Democrats’ lies, a lie that Democrats have continued now for years, a lie that Joe Biden said was part of the very reason he ran. That was the “very fine people” lie.
"Raskin played a deceptively edited video that claimed that Trump had called Neo-Nazis “very fine people.” He edited out where Trump said, “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.” He was talking about folks on the left and free speech purists on the right. It’s a lie that’s been debunked for years. But that didn’t stop Raskin. Raskin also stupidly improperly identified the Charlottesville in question."
Also: "Impeachment manager exhibit incorrectly identifies Charlottesville, VA, as Charlottesville, NC

Are you feeling safer yet?
Frederick County sheriff Chuck Jenkins told "Fox & Friends" host Steve Doocy what this means: "These people are going to roam our streets with impunity[.] ... This is going to be disastrous, dangerous, gonna impact every county, every city, every community in this country and again, this is total lawlessness."
American Thinker A liberal relative of mine said of Biden's victory that she was overwhelmed with relief. But she is not likely to experience the life of calm and safety she anticipates with the Democrat party having won the presidency, the Senate, and the House, not to mention control at all levels of the state she lives in: California.
To illustrate the point about safety, take New York City. A New York Post editorial quotes New York City police commissioner Dermot Shea: "We have made staggering numbers of gun arrests, taking guns off the streets from felons, but when you look, three days later, four days later, those individuals are back on the street committing more gun violence."
The editorial continues by saying that years of often ill conceived criminal justice reform has set up a revolving door that frees even repeat offenders almost instantly. And "[w]orse, because everyone knows the perp will be back in the neighborhood again — and the no-bail law lets the defense know right away who has talked — witnesses are ever-harder to come by."
"Well, that's in one Democrat-run state. What about California? According to Hotair.com: "Through a series of measures starting back in 2014, the state of California has made it increasingly easy for people to commit property theft and get away with it[.] ... Even in cases where they do manage to catch somebody stealing, it's too often not worth the trouble of taking them down to the station because they'll just be released immediately without bail anyway." One result of this is that California businesses are shutting down for good." . . . More here
UPDATE: House Impeachment Managers FOLD – Back Off On Witnesses After Trump Legal Team Announces Pelosi Will Be Called In — Closing Arguments Begin!
 |
| Tony Branco |
Gateway Pundit "Democrats flipped the script this morning after their case collapsed on Friday against President Trump.
"Democrats now want to change the rules and call in witnesses. This comes after Senator McConnell announced he will vote to acquit.
"This comes after Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington leaked news on a January 6, 2021 phone call between House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and former President Donald Trump." . . .
. . . "According to reports the Trump legal team requested to call in Speaker Pelosi and Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser to testify before the US Senate. It is well known that Pelosi, Bowser and Mitch McConnell refused to increase security on January 6th for the US Capitol.
"Senator Ted Cruz agreed this morning that the Trump legal team will call in Speaker Pelosi to testify along with Mayor Muriel Bowser.
"Following this announcement, the House Impeachment Managers backed off from calling witnesses.
"They moved on to closing arguments.
"They folded.
Bad week for Democrats of all stripes
"Corruption" is mentioned with no offense intended and in a nice way. TD
Monica Showalter "Shouldn't the Democrats be in the catbird seat? After all, they've "won" the election, including the House, the Senate, and the White House. Apparently, the country was just itching to become another California. And the courts, the big state, Hollywood, and the press are all on their side.
"But somehow, even with President Trump silenced, impeached, and out of power, things aren't going so good for Democrats.
"Impeachment is failing. The verdict will likely come today. Their aim was "political vengeance," as Trump's attorney said Friday, and the bid fell flat. Their spin, and lies, and low-grade informercial for themselves in this Senate impeachment trial persuaded no one. And their bigger aim, which was keeping President Trump from running for office, same as third-world dictators do to their opponents, backfired. Not only are they likely to see Trump again in 2024, but their vile efforts to shut him down have come back to bite them. Trump's stature has risen from this attempted railroading, so the effort was a bust.
"It gets worse. Now two of their fairest-haired boys, their pride and joy, the governors billed as the future of their party, are both going down like the Titanic.
"First, New York's Emmy Award–winning COVID governor, Andrew Cuomo, who not too long ago was hailed as presidential material. Even the New York Times is covering it:" . . .
