Jen Psaki: queen of the dance

https://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Watch her dazzle the press with her footwork!

Jen Psaki slammed for 'homophobic' tweet about Sen. Lindsey Graham "Biden press secretary called Graham '#LadyG' "

. . . " 'If you want to know what a media double standard looks like, Jen Psaki, as a CNN employee, can tweet this, get hired to be a White House Press Secretary, and not even feel compelled to delete it after it was unsurfaced a few days ago. She doesn’t care. She’s on the same team," Fourth Watch editor Steve Krakauer wrote." . . .

Psaki's Revelation as to Who Actually Wrote Biden Proclamation Speaks Volumes ..."It’s a punt with an homage to diversity, not unlike her “we appointed a woman” response to questions that she’s pulled out to multiple questions.

"But there’s a bigger problem in what she said. Notice how she tried to deflect any criticism of the proclamation leaving out Seuss by saying it was written by the Department of Education. But it was written in the first person and signed by Joseph R. Biden. So is she saying he’s not the one writing official proclamations with his name on them, written in the first person? Really. Tell us more about this. Now, yes, we get that he has speechwriters and such. But isn’t he responsible for things which he, in fact, signs? Or are you saying he has no idea/connection to the things he’s issuing or that have his name on them? Because that’s surely what she was implying in her response. That would be a big problem. Is that what you’re really saying, Jen Psaki? And do reporters really find that a satisfactory answer to that question?"

Jen Psaki Thinks You're a Moron, and She's Making It Clear We Don't Really Have a President . . . "When asked about why illegal immigrants are flooding the border, Psaki attempted to blame (checks notes)…hurricanes?...

"It’s not their program? Is Joe Biden president or is he not? It is simply not acceptable for Psaki to blow this question off when it is her boss’s job to run these organizations and provide these answers. The Department of Homeland Security is not its own branch of government, and the lack of communication with the White House is a stunning indictment of how worthless the current officeholder is.

"Overall, Psaki is making it clear we don’t really have a president. We have a doddering old man who doesn’t know where he’s at half the time. That’s about the extent of Biden’s capabilities these days. Deflections to other agencies is not leading. It’s being a coward...."

This originates from RedState, but for some strange reason it will not open there. The information blocked is obviously not something this White House would wish to be discussed. One only gets this:...This redstate.com page can’t be found

Petition Grows To ‘Impeach’ Pelosi After She Rams Election Bill Through Congress

The Pelosi Petition

Impeach House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi & Senator Chuck Schumer

RED RIGHT "After Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi rammed the controversial election bill through the House an online petition was launched to impeach Pelosi and it’s gaining steam.

"The petition has collected more than 850,000 signatures continues to grow.

“ 'We the people ask that impeachment proceedings begin against Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer for Treason against the American People. Article I, section 5 of the U.S. Constitution provides that “Each House” (that is, the Senate and the House of Representative) “may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member,” reads the petition.

"The controversial election bill is called “For The People Act” which would nullify state elections laws, would require vote by mail in ballots in all 50 states, kill voter ID laws, and require a minimum of 15 days of early voting.

" Not one Republican voted for the bill and it is considered dead on arrival at the Senate.

“ 'H.R. 1 [the For The People Act] would legalize voting for convicted felons all over the country even if they were convicted of election fraud,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-California) said on Tuesday." . . .

Petition Grows To ‘Impeach’ Pelosi After She Rams Election Bill Through Congress

The Hill; Judd Gregg: Impeach Pelosi and Schumer

MSNBC's Joy Reid: "You do not have to suffer from Eternal Bitterness Syndrome to be a Leftist, but it sure helps”

The Daley Gator

Her anger and bitterness are eating her up inside. And so, she lashes out at those who have happiness and joy in their lives. I don’t know what it would take for her to find a little happiness. You would think that after her side won the election she would be happy. But then, she knows that the election was not won fairly, and that biden is not legitimately the President. And she knows we know. And that is scaring her to death. There is no hope for her. And no joy. Ironic, isn’t it Joy?

"Take Loony Joy Reid for instance. The Other McCain examines her constant anger

"Liberals have spent five years ranting about “white supremacy” (when they weren’t busy ranting about “Russian collusion” or accusing Brett Kavanaugh of being a serial rapist) and the rest of us have been left to our own resources to figure out exactly what liberals mean when they accuse Republicans of being “white supremacists.” So now an eminent spokeswoman for liberalism has finally offered some clarification:

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Wednesday that for “people on the right,” not being able to “be openly racist and discriminatory without consequence is suppression.”
Reid, responding to a tweet from MSNBC political contributor Dr. Jason Johnson, said “people on the right would trade all the tax cuts for the ability to openly say the n-word like in ‘the good old days.’”
“To them, not being able to be openly racist and discriminatory without consequence is oppression,” Reid wrote. “Trump is the avatar for this ‘freedom.’”
Both Reid and Johnson were addressing a Deseret News article by journalist Bari Weiss, who claims “self-censorship is threatening democracy.” . . .

Joy Reid: Red States Want Black People Alive to Make Steaks, and Want to Use N-Word "The race for the “most embarrassing person on TV” is heating up. Chris Cuomo continues to make a strong case, Don Lemon never disappoints, but MSNBC’s Joy Reid may have just taken the lead." . . .Who knows what Cuomo will say tonight, whether Jemele Hill’s Vice show ever gets attention, or whether some sucker will put insane tweeter Keith Olbermann back on TV — so for now, Joy Reid has pulled away as the worst person on TV."

There is no joy in Reidville; anger has been worth big bucks to her: The Power in Being an Angry Black Woman

Why on Earth does MSNBC’s Joy Reid still have a job?

Joy Reid uses Rush Limbaugh’s death to hurl twisted racial smear at his long-time friend and producer "Not content to just smear legendary radio show host Rush Limbaugh now that he’s passed of lung cancer, left-wing media figures are aiming their sights at his longtime talented producer and friend, James Golden, aka Bo Snerdley." . . .

"Reid is among the many far-leftists who nevertheless believe Limbaugh was an “evil” person just because he made unorthodox, smart-alecky jokes.

"Meanwhile, in reality, the MSNBC host is the same woman who attacked then-House Majority Whip Steve Scalise after he was nearly murdered during the baseball shooting in 2017. Why did she attack him? For the crime of being a standard conservative." . . .

While the Sanders campaign demanded an apology from the network, critics of Joy Ann Reid's morning show said the segment was "fraudulent garbage" and a "disgrace.". . . "MSNBC is a f*cking disgrace," said journalist Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept. Greenwald said the use of "bulls**t charlatan body language analysis" to call Sanders a liar was "appalling but typical" of the network." . . .

. . . "Media critic Adam Johnson noted, "just to be clear 'body language experts' aren't actually a thing and MSNBC should stop having them on all the time in general.' " . . .

MSNBC’s Joy Reid is the wrongest person on television . . . "But! Joy Reid is a television pundit, albeit one who toils for the hysterical conspiracy-theory factory known as MSNBC, and hence can never suffer any penalty for being factually inept: Hey, it’s only somebody talking. Did you make the mistake of assuming MSNBC was about accuracy?. . . "If MSNBC were capable of shame, it would announce that Reid has been suspended and told not to come back to work until she is up to speed on basic civics. But then again, Reid’s balderdash is in harmony with MSNBC’s brand: Just think of the network as Mostly Stupid but Nobody Cares." . . .

Carolla smacks down ‘narcissist’ Joy Reid’s bragging rant on Dems having ‘the glamorous culture’ ..."Following MSNBC airing the big “Celebrating America” prime time special for Joe Biden’s inauguration, Joy Reid dripped praise for the event and said it shows how “Democrats have the culture” and the right “hates that.” She went on to explain how that makes the left so much better than the right."...

The Woefully Ignorant Media Is Getting America's Anger Over the Cancelation of Dr. Seuss Books so Wrong, so Let Me Help

RedState

"Looking at how the media reacted to the reaction by Americans at the cancelation of some of Dr. Seuss’s books, it’s hard to tell whether they’re being obtuse on purpose or if they truly misunderstand the American people so much that their bubble stops them from experiencing reality as it is.

"Case in point, here’s what one Business Insider reporter had to say about why conservatives were mad about Dr. Seuss, and I’m going to warn you, the explanation is so stupid that you may get dumber for having read it:

“ 'The current obsession among right-wing media with Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head etc. is among the most bizarre manifestations we’ve seen yet re: their fear of white people becoming a minority. That’s really what this is all about. Fear of not being in control,” senior political reporter John Haltiwanger tweeted." . . .

Democrat voters: no sign of shame apparent yet.

Cops defunded, de Blasio's wife urges New Yorkers to do their own policing "Did it occur to any of the leftist politicians boostering for the 'Defund the Police' far-left trope that they might just be left holding the bag? "Seems not. And sure enough, it's slowly starting to dawn on them that were played for fools.

Crime in New York City is out of control, so Chirlaine McCray, the scandal-plagued wife of far-left Mayor Bill de Blasio, is now offering a bizarre new solution to resolve the problem: Every citizen his own policeman.

. . . "The wokesters may like it, but everyone else knows that it's going to get people killed. Crime is exploding in New York now. Calling on people to stop their own muggers and rapists is just going to lead to more carnage."

Why Cuomo Has NY Democratic Leaders Fuming "Everyday there is another account that is drawing away from the business of government. We have allegations about sexual harassment, a toxic work environment, the loss of credibility surrounding the Covid-19 nursing home data and questions about the construction of a major infrastructure project," Senate Majority Leader Andrew Stewart-Cousins (D) said in a statement. "New York is still in the midst of this pandemic and is still facing the societal, health and economic impacts of it. We need to govern without daily distraction. For the good of the state Governor Cuomo must resign." . . .

Why the Left Hates Cuomo . . . As of this writing, Cuomo insists that he will not resign. It will be interesting to see if his own party will impeach him. If not, Cuomo remains crippled politically. Whatever happens, he deserves not one bit of pity.

"Conservatives may feel a bit of schadenfreude at seeing Cuomo in dire straits. But they should be sobered by the fact that if Cuomo is finally brought down for good, it will not be by a conservative resurgence in New York, but by committed leftists, equally if not further to the left than he is."

Insanity Wrap #161: Cancel Culture Comes for Cuomo

If Cuomo Goes Down, So Should Whitmer, Newsom, Murphy, and Wolf

"With Biden in the White House, the Democrats no longer need a model pandemic governor, and the AOC wing of the party in New York is preparing to primary him with an unfiltered socialist."

. . . "Patricia McGinnis, executive director of California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform, had warned, “California’s directive is nothing less than a death sentence for countless residents.""Democrats want to save Newsom’s job and they don’t want Cuomo’s scandal taking him out." . . .

Los Angeles County Recall Organizers File Official Intent to Recall D.A. George Gascon . . . "The grounds for the Recall as stated in the official notice include the following:

Since being elected, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon has abandoned crime victims and their families. Gascon has disregarded the rule of law and weakend lawful sentencing requirements for the most violent criminals, including murderers, armed robbers, and rapists.
George Gascon’s new policies treat career and repeat violent offenders as if they had never committed a crime, ignoring public safety laws approved by the people. Gascon has even reduced sentences on hate crimes, gun crims, and gang crimes.
On behalf of crime victims and their families, and in the interest of public safety, this notice of intention to recall George Gascon as Los Angeles District Attorney is submitted.

"The threshold to meet this Recall is smaller than the Recall Gavin Newsom amount. Just 580,000 signatures are needed . . ."

'Christian Movies Are Way Too Preachy!' Says Man Who Clearly Hasn't Watched A Netflix Show Recently

. . . According to several sources, Netflix is a multi-billion-dollar company whose sole purpose is to provide insufferable preaching to millions of viewers for only $17.99 per month. Experts cite several studies showing that Netflix has passed Christian entertainment and is quickly approaching 1st place for hyper-partisan preachy material, right behind Saturday Night Live and The Babylon Bee.

Poll: 2/3 of Americans Think Corporations Are Taking Political Wokeness Too Far. . .

“Disney defended using sets near the slave camps in China.”
“Them firing people for having different views than the boss has.”
“They are yielding to woke cultural activism.”
“They are developing a full-blown cancel culture.”
“They caved to the liberals of the cancel culture. If she had liberal views, she would be
hailed as a champion.”
“They fired an actress who dared to be conservative.”

The Daily Wire signed former Disney+ star Gina Carano after she was fired for social media posts deemed too offensive, though similar examples of social media posts from others who co-starred with Carano did not yield the same result.

The same poll found over 70 percent of those surveyed believe Carano should not have been fired by [Disney].

Turner Classic Movies Surrenders to the Woke Vampires

Conservative Angle "TCM makes a Turner Classic Mistake by offering up their supposedly “racist” and “sexist” films as sacrifices."

"About 15 years ago, my younger brother, George, looked over my DVD collection of classic movies, including Gone with the Wind, The Searchers, and Animal House, and said, “You know, pretty soon you won’t need any of these. You’ll be able to download every one of them off the internet.” George was proved right technologically, but what he couldn’t predict was that cancel culture would target those films. No one could in 2006. Now I, like many other naïve movie lovers, regret having discarded my hard copies of the titles and am racing to replace them before they get erased.

"I recalled that moment last Thursday when watching the premiere of Turner Classic Movies’ (TCM) ill-advised March series Reframed: Classic Films in the Rearview Mirror featuring Gone with the Wind (1939), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), and Rope (1948). With the series, TCM hopes to continue its only raison d’être — presenting screen masterworks — yet protect itself from modern woke vampires bloated with fresh blood — Dr. Seuss’s and Mr. Potato Head’s. Other classics to be deconstructed for anti-wokeness include Woman of the Year (1942), Gunga Din (1939), and The Searchers (1956). TCM declares its intent in a ghastly website statement:

Many of the beloved classics that we enjoy on TCM have stood the test of time in several ways, nevertheless when viewed by contemporary standards, certain aspects of these films can be troubling and problematic. This month, we are looking at a collection of such movies and we’ll explore their history, consider their cultural context and discuss how these movies can be reframed so that future generations will keep their legacy alive.

....... "That the announcement is typical progressive drivel becomes obvious in the first sentence. Because “the beloved classics” clearly “have stood the test of time,” the phrase “in several ways” signifies nothing. Neither does “when viewed by contemporary standards,” nor the utterly insipid “certain aspects of these films can be troubling.” Hey, welcome to art, snowflakes. The sentence ends with the ultimate vague yet loaded word, “problematic.” . . .

Classic scenes from the movie were part of every corner in American culture:

'Hold the White Guilt Trip': In Moment of Clarity, Bill Maher Tees off on BLM Virtue Signaling

RedState

. . . In Friday’s episode of “Real Time,” the left-wing comedian went after various left-wing causes and the requisite “sanctimonious lecturing” from his pals on the left. “It’s time to raise awareness about a very serious problem,” he said: “Raising awareness.”

Maher is sick of constantly being made "aware" of some plague or other through ribbons, bumper stickers, flags, hashtags.

He then ticked through several examples of nonsense he’s had more than enough of. Finally he gets down to Black Lives Matter:

"Maher eventually got to Black Lives Matter and the constant white guilt trip” on the left, which leads lefties to virtue-signal the crap out themselves nonstop, he said. Or as I like like to call it, prostrating themselves before the altar of Black Lives Matter and pretend “systemic-racism.” There has been no better example on the planet over the last year than the slobbery pandering of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Anyway, Maher correctly observed:

“Crew members on the major airlines wear Black Lives Matter pins during the flight. You know, you can support a movement without constantly being reminded of it. Can I just get a rum and Coke, and hold the white guilt trip until we land?”

. . . “ 'That ribbon isn’t there to make me think so much as to raise awareness of what a good person you are,” Maher said as he wrapped up the monologue, closing by suggesting April should be designated as “Chill the F**k Out Month.” . . .

Everyone can say “the lives of blacks matter,” but you might decline to say “Black Lives Matter.” . . . "The Black Lives Matter movement begins with a simple slogan everyone can agree with—that the lives of people of color are important. They matter. According to the webpage on the Black Lives Matter site, we can see what else they believe and work for. They stand for “justice and freedom for black people—and by extension for all people.” In other words, “All lives matter.” So far so good. That is also something with which every right-minded person can agree.Taking their words on the website at face value, there are other idealistic and worthy causes to which most decent people can give a nod. When we read their manifesto to the end, however, we discover further aims: . . ."

It’s Now Five: Two More Cuomo Accusers Step Forward, Calls for His Resignation Intensify

Legal Insurrection “For the good of the state, Governor Cuomo must resign,” New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D) said in a statement Sunday just hours after Cuomo again insisted he would not step down." (Emphasis in the original)

"It’s impossible to overstate just how bad things have gotten for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

"It started in late January when the state’s Democratic Attorney General Letitia James detailed how nursing home COVID death numbers were higher than the state originally reported. The undercounting, James said in so many words, was due in part to how New York changed how nursing home deaths from the Wuhan coronavirus were calculated.

"Another explosive report that hit not long after revolved around the governor’s office admitting they deliberately hid nursing home COVID death data from state lawmakers because they feared an investigation by Trump’s DOJ. Another bombshell report revealed the actual number of COVID-positive patients who were let back into nursing home facilities was 9,056, which was over 40% higher than what Cuomo’s health department had initially reported.

"And late last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that “Cuomo’s top advisers successfully pushed state health officials [last summer] to strip a public report of data showing that more nursing-home residents had died of Covid-19 than the administration had acknowledged.”

"On top of the reports on the governor’s office deliberately deceiving state lawmakers, the press, and the public on the nursing home death numbers have been the sexual harassment allegations. The combination of both scandals has led to various calls from Democrats for Cuomo to either resign or be censured or impeached. At a press conference last Wednesday, Cuomo said he would not step down.

"Investigations into both matters are underway." . . .

Top Leader In Albany Said Cuomo Should Resign If Accusers Hits “4”. Now Totally Silent As Count Hits 5… ...“ '@AndreaSCousins we now have five accusers alleging predatory sexual behavior by the highest-ranking elected official in our state – one more than the red line you laid down two days ago. It’s time. The people of NY state deserve nothing less. Call for his resignation,” tweeted Lawler.

Three Trump Foreign Policy Successes Biden Is Undoing

Breitbart "President Joe Biden is undoing several foreign policy successes of the Trump administration for no apparent reason other than radical ideology and political spite.

"In each case, former President Donald Trump was able to achieve goals that both parties had long claimed to share. And in each case, Biden has not only hurt the interests of the United States, but reduced the leverage that he might otherwise have had to pursue foreign policy goals unique to his administration. Three examples:

Border policy: President Trump signed agreements with Central American countries that slowed the flow of migrants. In June 2019, he announced a deal with Mexico under which it would deploy troops to its southern border and allow asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico while their cases were adjudicated in the U.S. That fall, he reached deals with the “Northern Triangle” countries to keep asylum-seekers home. There is no reason for Biden to have dismantled these humane policies, which kept vulnerable migrants out of the hands of cartels and deterred thousands from undertaking a risky journey (and sending their children to do the same). He could have kept them in place even while changing U.S. immigration policies. Consequently, there has been a massive surge of migrants to the border — especially unaccompanied minors — and there undoubtedly will be more. The reason appears to be that the Biden administration wants more migrants to come north.

"Middle East: President Trump signed the Abraham Accords, creating a network of peace deals between Israel and many Arab and Muslim states. Biden has punished many of the key players: raising tariffs on the United Arab Emirates (UAE); withholding arms sales to the UAE and Saudi Arabia; de-listing the anti-Saudi, pro-Iran Houthi militia as a terror group; publishing an intelligence report naming the Saudi Crown Prince as a key player in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi; and appointing the same pro-Iran diplomats who crafted the disastrous Iran nuclear deal. All Biden had to do was continue where Trump had left off, rewarding Arab and Muslim countries that made peace, and maintaining pressure on Iran. But Biden’s foreign policy team, apparently blinded by the conviction that everything Trump did must necessarily be wrong, continues to repeat the mistakes of the Obama administration, which appeased Iran and allowed it to cause regional chaos.

"Keystone XL Pipeline: It was understood that Biden would rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement — even though the U.S. reduced carbon emissions without it, and experts admitted it would not be enough to make an real impact on the global climate. However, he went further, canceling the permit for the Keystone XL — a pipeline that would have created tens of thousands of “good, paying, union jobs” (to quote Biden’s favorite refrain) on both sides of the border. The pipeline is the cleanest, least carbon-intensive way of transporting oil that will now most likely be moved by rail and by truck. Canada’s Liberal government, under Justin Trudeau, was only too happy to see the project canceled, never mind the economic cost. But all Biden needed to do was leave the Keystone XL in place. Instead, he pursued a symbolic victory to appease radical environmentalists, increasing emissions while killing jobs and undermining America’s hard-fought energy independence." . . .

Evangelicals For Biden ‘Feel Used And Betrayed’ By Biden Fulfilling His Radical Abortion Promises

Define "evangelists"

The Federalist "In an open letter released Sunday, Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden urged him to “honor his commitment” and include the Hyde Amendment in Democrats’ $1.9 trillion COVID-19 spending package, writing “we feel used and betrayed.” The letter states:

We are very disappointed about the COVID-19 relief package’s exclusion of the Hyde Amendment, a longstanding bipartisan policy that prevents taxpayer funding for abortion. We’re even more upset that the Biden administration is supporting this bill. As pro-life leaders in the evangelical community, we publicly supported President Biden’s candidacy with the understanding that there would be engagement [with] us on the issue of abortion and particularly the Hyde Amendment …We feel used and betrayed and have no intention of simply watching these kinds of efforts happen from the sidelines.

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.
