"Speaker Pelosi has introduced a spending plan that pays off nearly every imaginable left-wing interest group"

 

Pelosi’s HR1 bill a blatant power grab for Democrats  "Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab.

"The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote." . . .

Pelosi, Dems' reckless $3 trillion coronavirus aid package all about growing

Republicans in Congress and President Trump need to unanimously and loudly denounce this New New Deal scam, which would pad the wallets of those who are funded by programs that have zero to do with the virus itself. Coronavirus didn't create the $100 billion Illinois and New Jersey pension deficits. 

 

Abolish the police? After little boy has seizure, family gives up on 911 call after hearing automated hold message

 Law Enforcement Today

"KANSAS CITY, MO – A family in Kansas City was recently shocked when they called 911 while a 4-year-old child fell unconscious and began seizing, due to the family being greeted by an automated “please hold” message when calling the emergency number. 

"This in turn caused the family to abandon their 911 outreach efforts, opting to simply rush the child to the hospital themselves. While the boy is okay, the 911 debacle that transpired does present concerns. " . . .

. . . "In four of the months from 2020, the average hold time for 911 callers was longer than 20 seconds. In two of the months of 2020, there were recorded hold times that exceeded 12 minutes with some 911 callers. 

"And on the very same day that the family called 911 about little Nathan, another 911 caller was on hold for 1 minute 21 seconds and another caller was on hold for 3 minutes and 51 seconds. 

"In all fairness though, the average wait time for 911 callers that day was 12 seconds – but when there’s an active emergency, every second counts. " .  . .

What Does ‘Defund the Police’ Mean?

“Defund the Police” is a more ambiguous expression, and therefore less threatening to potential allies, than “Abolish the Police.” The genius of the phrase is that it encompasses both means and end.

The GayBC‘s are In, Dr. Seuss is Out

 The Stream

"More than a decade ago, I purchased a number of gay-themed books for children, wanting to see what parents and educators were reading to their little ones. Recently, I became aware of The GayBC’s, by M. L. Webb, published in 2019 and as extreme as any children’s reader I have seen. Yet these days, books like this are celebrated while the beloved Dr. Seuss is deprecated.

"The blurb for Webb’s book joyfully proclaims, “The GayBCs is perfect for fans of A Is for Activist and Feminist Baby — showing kids and adults alike that every identity is worthy of being celebrated.” 

"The suggested reading age is children 4-8, and the book contains lines like this: “Bi is for bi” (as in bisexual) and “C is for coming out” and “D is for drag” and “N is for non-binary” and “Q is for queer” and “S is for sashay.”

"I’ve even seen a video of a child well under four going through the pages of this book, pages which he had clearly memorized. What kind of madness is this? And what little child on the planet can possibly understand the meaning of these words and terms? Yet one professional reviewer stated, “The GayBCs should be required reading for all children.”

"This is shameless – and dangerous – indoctrination. " . . .

Trump Will Exact His Revenge On Murkowski for Her Impeachment Vote

 Rick Moran

• "Loyalty is a quality highly prized in people, especially political people.

  "But political loyalty can be ephemeral. It’s the “what have you done for me lately” syndrome that determines many politicians’ loyalty. For Donald Trump. who has thrown his share of politicians under the bus, loyalty is defined as personal fealty to his person.

  "To Trump. It’s not a cause or party that he demands loyalty to. It is to him and him alone that loyalty is demanded and expected.

  “ 'I will not be endorsing, under any circumstances, the failed candidate from the great State of Alaska, Lisa Murkowski,” Trump said in a statement first reported by Politico. “She represents her state badly and her country even worse. I do not know where other people will be next year, but I know where I will be — in Alaska campaigning against a disloyal and very bad Senator.”. . .

Leftists Start a Pillow Fight with Mike Lindell

 Charles Turot (Pseudonym)*  . . . "Is there an American who doesn't know Lindell?  A college dropout and serial entrepreneur, he became addicted to crack cocaine.  He lost his home and was divorced.  He credits his sobriety to his Christian faith . He's passionate about it, as anyone should be after escaping the talons of the devil.  There but for the grace of God goes any of us.  He invented his revolutionary pillow in 2004.

"My pillow is a MyPillow.  It costs a lot, but darned if it doesn't do exactly what it claims.  The typical box-store pillow is shot after a year at most.  MyPillow soldiers on.  Lindell's son is running the company now, though Dad's familiar face still sells the products on TV.  His new ambition is politics.  Last March, "the MyPillow guy" appeared with the president, praising his handling of COVID and dedicating his factories to production of then-scarce masks.  He defied the narrative that we should tremble in our locked down homes and it was all Trump's fault.  With his highly visible support of the Orange Man, the benevolent bedding-peddler with the cross around his neck quickly earned a place on the Public Enemies List of the mainstream media and the radical left.

"We also support those who do.  We stocked up Goya foods in response to a boycott when its CEO joined a presidential panel on Hispanic enterprise.  The shelves were half-emptied in my supermarket.  We ordered from L.L. Bean more than ever when a donation to a Trump PAC from a Bean family member sparked a boycott (not that its products aren't sufficient reason for loyalty).

"Conservatives support businesses who support freedom: freedom of expression, freedom of political affiliation, freedom to pursue success.  The left boycotts those same businesses, for the same reason.  This defines conservatives as well as anything.

"Your money, it turns out, buys not just pillows.  It buys freedom, for you and for others.  Where you spend your money matters much more now than it did when we bought the old sofa.

Condemning The Racist And Anti-Semitic Views Of The Reverend Al Sharpton

"Whereas, to this day, the Reverend Al Sharpton has refused to accept responsibility and expresses no regret for defaming Mr. Pagones;

Biden tells NASA engineer Indian Americans are ‘taking over the country’

The Madness of President Asterisk

NY Post   . . . "Biden has previously drawn criticism for eyebrow raising comments about Indian-Americans.

"He said in 2006, while a senator: “In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”

"As a presidential candidate last year, Biden also struggled with controversial remarks about ethnic minorities.

"In May, Biden walked back comments telling voters they “ain’t black” if they supported a candidate other than him." . . .

As even his media apologists complain, Psaki promises Biden will do a presser -- but needs a few more weeks

 The other aspect of Biden’s invisibility, his missing State of the Union speech, may be a matter of timing. Dementia often takes its worst toll in the evening, the so-called Sundowner Syndrome or Sundowner Effect.

Thomas Lifson  "The failure of a newly-elected president to face questions from the media for six-and-a-half weeks (and counting) is so weird that even CNN’s Brian Stelter is noting it.

There are many ways to measure an American president's accessibility. One way is by counting press conferences. Right now, by that count, President Biden looks invisible.

CNN White House reporter Kevin Liptak shared this note with colleagues on Wednesday: "As we await word on when President Biden will hold his first solo press conference, an analysis of the past 100 years shows he is behind his 15 most recent predecessors, who all held a solo press conference within 33 days of taking office." Liptak pored through this university database to confirm the data.

"Stelter is far from alone among Biden allies raising concerns. Tom Darnell of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution joined many conservatives in citing the worrisome cutoff of Biden’s video feed. Darnell wrote:" . . .  You can watch it here.

Psaki excuses Biden’s lack of solo press conference, says he’s been too busy with ‘historic crises’  . . . " 'So we’re 45 days into the Biden presidency and he has yet to hold a presser. At this point in past presidencies, every president from Reagan had addressed reporters, some of them multiple times. So why the delay and when can we expect the president to hold a press conference?” she asked Psaki." .  .  .

Kayleigh McEnany says Biden avoiding press questions because his staff has no ‘faith’ in him

. . . “I don't think this is President Biden saying, ‘I don't want to do this,’” she said. “I think it's those around him recognizing when he does speak, it doesn't always turn out so well, like calling Republicans ‘Neanderthals,’ as he did recently in the Oval Office.” . . .

Biden will hold his first full press conference by the 'end of the month', White House claims

President Joe Biden will hold his first presidential press conference by the end of the month, White House press secretary Jen Psaski said Friday. 'We look forward to holding a full press conference in the coming weeks before the end of the month,' Psaki told reporters at the press briefing. 'And we're working on setting a final date for that and as soon as we do we will let you all know.' Psaki was asked why Biden had delayed a full Q&A with journalists, bucking a tradition to do one in the early weeks of an administration, which has been around since the Reagan years.

Lt. Gen. Russel Honore recommends 24/7 'quick reaction force' of D.C. Guard to protect the Capitol after review – as Tucker Carlson brands Pelosi pick an ‘unhinged partisan’

Obama began turning America into a South American tin-pot republic and now Pelosi chooses a general who fits the part. TD

 UK Daily Mail . . . "Pelosi ordered the review after the Jan. 6th riot and brought in retired Lt. Gen. Russsel Honore to oversee it.

"Among his recommendations are a 'quick reaction force,' known in military parlance as a QRF.

"The report calls for a 'QRF that permanently resides within the DC [National] Guard by reestablishing a military police battalion and staffing it with Active Guard Reserve troops who live in or near the city year round, perpetually on active duty,' according to a report by Fox News." . . .

. . . " 'Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a conservative commentator, ripped Honore on his prime-time program Thursday while describing the recommendation for a permanent force.   

" 'Honoré is an unhinged partisan extremist, nuttier than anyone affiliated with QAnon.,' he inveighed. 'He was chosen by Nancy Pelosi precisely because of this. She knew that Honoré would justify a military takeover of Washington, and she was right,' he said.

"Many Republicans had already groused about Honore, brought in to salvage the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, after he said shortly after Jan. 6th that the former sergeants at arms may have been 'complicit.' He also tweeted days after the riot that Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, the first senator to say he would challenge electoral votes in states where Trump was claiming fraud, 'should be run out of DC' and called him a 'little piece of s***''.

"Trump loyalist Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has also gone after Honore publicly, tweeting that Pelosi 'hired a bigot to hunt MAGA.' 

"Gaetz and other Trump loyalists on the House Judiciary Committee wrote Pelosi to call some of Honore's public comments 'deeply offensive.' 

"Immediately after the attack he accused Capitol police of have 'allowed their buddies' into the building. He also said of gun-toting Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.): authorities should 'put her stupid a** on the no-fly list.' " . . .

Legal Flatulence? Eric Swalwell Sues Donald Trump and Allies over Capital Riots

thefederalistpapers.org

 Breitbart  "Ex-House impeachment manager Eric Swalwell (D-CA) confirmed Friday he will sue former President Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani and Republican Rep. Mo Brooks in a second major lawsuit seeking to hold Trump and his allies accountable for the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

"Swalwell’s action follows a similar suit filed last month by Rep. Bennie Thompson against Trump, Giuliani and the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys groups.

Today, I filed a civil claim against Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Rudolph Giuliani, and Rep. Mo Brooks for inciting an attack against the Capitol that terrorized lawmakers and prevented us from certifying the votes of the American people." . . .

Fox News CEO Says Network Will Be Biden’s “Loyal Opposition”

Hot Air

"Fox News Channel CEO Lachlan Murdoch is pledging that the network will be Biden’s “loyal opposition”. He candidly admitted that the focus of opposition to the new administration will boost the cable news network’s ratings.

"Murdoch addressed a Morgan Stanley conference on Thursday and said the network will hold President Biden accountable. Murdoch hopes that by using the model of MSNBC and its non-stop opposition to everything during the Trump administration, Fox will lure back viewers who have left for more conservative news outlets. He describes it as the network’s “job”.

“The main beneficiary of the Trump administration from a ratings point of view was MSNBC … and that’s because they were the loyal opposition,” Murdoch said of the rival cable network. “That’s what our job is now with the Biden administration, and you’ll see our ratings really improve from here.”

"Fox took a hit in the rating war between competing news networks after the November presidential election. Many Trump loyalists criticized the move by Fox’s political team to put Arizona results in the Biden column as premature. Almost immediately, the call went out for the loyalists to switch over to either Newsmax or OAN, both very Trump-friendly cable news networks. Trump himself suggested that his supporters make the switch in their news viewing habits." . . .
