Sen. Ernst on Why She Hopes One Defense Nomination 'Is Dead'

Kahl

Townhall   "Both radio host Hugh Hewitt and his guest Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) agreed on Thursday that the Pentagon’s undersecretary for policy nominee Colin Kahl is "just a bad guy." The best thing that to happen to his nomination, Ernst said, is for it to quickly fizzle out.

"As the senator explained, Kahl has a record of maligning Republicans. Lawmakers who defended President Trump’s withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria in 2019 “debase themselves at the alter of Trump — they are the party of ethnic cleansing,” Kahl wrote at the time. In his Senate confirmation hearing, Kahl apologized for what he called his “sometimes disrespectful” language. That didn't appease Ernst and many of her colleagues.

" 'Well, I hope it is dead," Ernst said of the nomination. "But I don’t know where they will try and go with this. This is a very polarizing individual who has been brought forward. I have seen no Republican support so far. This is a gentleman who not just once or twice, but for years lashed out at Republicans, called us the party of ethnic cleansing, and yet this is someone who wants to direct policy for the Department of Defense. I don’t think it’s a wise move to put him in place." 

" 'I don’t know this fellow, but judging by his record, he has got the, he’s just a bad guy," Hewitt noted.

"Sen. Ernst agreed, adding that she's also concerned about his foreign policy agenda. . . "

Want to Work for POTUS? Don’t Tweet   "The Senate Armed Services Committee’s postponement of a vote on the nomination of Colin Kahl for undersecretary of Defense for policy is a reminder that no good comes from tweeting. Like other Biden appointees, Kahl supports returning to the Iran nuclear deal that he worked on during the Obama administration. An Iran dove, Kahl prefers to unleash fire and fury — on Twitter, anyway — on conservatives and pro-Israel hawks. His popular Twitter feed is filled with ad hominem attacks on the very Republican senators who might decide his fate. Or at least it was filled with such invective, until he realized the angry tweets hurt his job prospects. Now he just retweets Biden. that is "very supportive" of the controversial Iranian nuclear deal." . . .

Biden and our border

The situation on the border must be hurting politically. On ABC, Biden told the folks to say home and "don't come."   . . . "It's time for Hispanics to reconsider the Democrat party.  At least President Trump spoke clearly.  The Democrats tell them what they want to hear, and then it's a different once in power."  

Biden issues gag order on Border Patrol, does all he can to cover up illegal alien surge

 . . "Doddering old Joe is sort of an echo of Leonid Brezhnev, the Soviet leader who presided over the Soviet decline before its 1990 collapse. A story that went around in the waning days of the Soviet regime, was that the great train of Sovietism was crossing the trans-Siberian railroad, and somewhere in Siberia, it broke down. When Lenin was in charge, he ordered the Soviets to get out of the train and push. The train carried on and as in any communist system, broke down again. This time Stalin was in charge. He ordered guards to shoot half the passengers and tell the other half they'll be next if they don't get out and push. The third time the train broke down, Nikita Khruschchev was in charge, and saboteurs had destroyed the tracks. He ordered the passengers to get out of the train and take the tracks from the back and put them in the front. The train carried on and broke down again, this time with Brezhnev in charge.  Brezhnev was old and doddering like Joe, and ordered the passengers to pull down the shades and start bouncing up and down, to imitate the train motion.

"Sounds a lot like old Joe."

"On Wednesday Biden White House Spokesperson Jen Psaki was asked about the endless stream of illegal aliens streaming into the US since Joe Biden opened the southern border. The US is currently facing its biggest migrant surge into the US in 20 years.

Kristin Fisher: Is there a limit or a cap to the number of unaccompanied minors that are going to be allowed into the US?

Jen Psaki: A limit or a cap? So should we send some kids who are 10 back at a certain point? Is that what you’re asking me?

Conservative Student Group Hits Back at Prof Who Accused Them of Racism

Campus Politics  "Good for these students for responding. You expect this sort of behavior from students, but not a professor. Campus Reform reports:"

Conservative group responds forcefully to prof who called it ‘racist’

A professor at Montana Technological University reacted to the formation of a new conservative student organization on his campus by calling the group “racist.”

“This group is known for affiliating with racist and neo-Nazi and other alt-right groups,” Professor of Science and Technology Studies Pat Munday told KXLF-TV in February.

“We don’t want to suppress free speech. We don’t want to in any way try to tell students what clubs they can or can’t have but we do want to promote awareness that this is a very dangerous road to go down,” Munday added.

TPUSA responded to the professor’s public statement, which it called “defamatory.”

“The quote by Professor Pat Munday is both defamatory and wildly inaccurate. TPUSA is a mainstream conservative organization that encourages people of all races and backgrounds to participate. TPUSA even hosts annual events and gatherings catering to minority communities too often underrepresented in the political arena, including a Black Leadership Summit, a Latino Leadership Summit, a Jewish Leadership Summit, among many other uplifting and positive events. Professor Munday is either the victim of misinformation and should do some more research, or willfully ignorant, either way he owes the amazing student leaders at TPUSA Montana Tech an immediate apology,” a statement provided to KXLF-TV read.

Another Montana Tech professor, English and History Professor Henry Gonshak, reacted to Montana lawmakers’ efforts to legalize concealed carry of firearms on the state’s college campuses, on which Campus Reform previously reported.

CNN loses ONE MILLION viewers a night on average since Trump left office and is down nearly 50% in 24-54 age group

UK Daily Mail   . . . "The cable news channel had averaged 2.5 million prime-time viewers each night from November 4 through Inauguration Day on January 20, according to a Fox News analysis of Nielsen data.  

"But data shows the network averaged only 1.6 million total prime-time viewers from January 21, the day after the inauguration of President Joe Biden, through March 15, according to the report.

"CNN's overall prime-time viewership, from 8pm to 11pm Eastern Time, has dropped 36% since Biden took office in January, according to Fox News." . . .

 Georgia Science Professor: Fox News Is ‘Questionable Source,’ CNN, New York Times Are ‘Reliable News Sources’

. . . "When a YAF employee emailed Connelly asking why he had singled out only conservative news outlets as unreliable, the professor said his choice had nothing to do with politics. “ 'Politics do not play a role in this assignment as this is an introductory science course. This has to do with scientifically accurate news pieces that focus on the topic we are studying,” Connelly said. “If a student were able to find an appropriate article from any news source they may use that, although it will be much easier to complete the assignment in a reasonable amount of time if students start with the reliable news organizations that I suggested.”

Female Athletes Refused Chance to Testify to Senate Panel About Equality Act

The Epoch Times

The problem, Smith said, is “it’s hard to ignore the physical differences between us and biological males when they are lined up with us in the starting blocks. Mentally we know the outcome before the race even starts." . . .

"Three present and former Connecticut high school biological female athletes were barred from testifying Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Equality Act that recently passed the House of Representatives. The Equality Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

"Christiana Holcomb, the Alliance Defending Freedom legal counsel for the women, told The Epoch Times it was the majority Democrats who prevented the athletes from testifying.

“ 'It is disgraceful that Democrats refused to hear from Selina, Chelsea, and Alanna on the harms that they face from a law like the Equality Act. Our clients have lost out on state championships, podium spots, and opportunities to advance in competition because they were forced to compete against biological males,” Holcomb said." . . .

GOP Moves To Save Biden: We Want Amnesty, Too!

 Ann Coulter

"President Joe Biden’s immigration bill will put virtually all illegal immigrants on a bullet train to citizenship, provided that they meet the onerous requirement of claiming to have entered the country before Jan. 1, 2021. Only terrorists and convicted felons are excluded — at least in theory, but past experience suggests they’ll get amnesty, too. Even illegal immigrants who’ve already been deported will be invited back and given amnesty.

"So far, the Republicans’ response has been to propose their own amnesty, while throwing in some boob-bait for the rubes about border security.

"Even the election of Donald Trump, a ridiculous creature who became president by promising to crack down on illegal immigration and build a wall (promises he ignored), hasn’t put a dent in Washington’s enthusiasm for overwhelming the country with the third world.

"On this, the parties are united! The only difference is, Republicans lie to the voters about securing the border.

" 'Under Biden’s immigration bill, a gigantic number of illegals will be given green cards immediately and will be eligible for citizenship in three years — just in time for the 2024 election.

"That includes all Dreamers (who entered as minors — or say they did); those who came in as temporary agricultural workers (or say they did); and any illegals who have been granted Temporary Protected Status because of some disaster in their home countries.

"Biden’s bill doesn’t even include the usual false promises of border security. That’s where Republicans come in!

"Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., is floating a bill that would grant amnesty to Dreamers in exchange for vague promises of a border wall system.

"A border wall system should not be confused with a border wall. It’s easy enough to write “wall.” So why didn’t he do that?" . . .  More...

A revitalized and restorationist Republican Party will never take shape until white America finally gets off its knees.

Hezekiah Kantor

A new poll of more than 1,000 registered voters released by Echelon Insights offers a startling glimpse into the psyche of Joe Biden supporters. Among Democrats, the top three issues over which they say they are “extremely” or “very concerned” are “Donald Trump supporters,” “white nationalism,” and “systemic racism.” 

"Among the actions Biden took during his first week in the White House was to rescind President Trump’s ban on critical race theory training in the federal government. We can now expect the cultural revolution to resume in the federal bureaucracy, a bureaucracy that will now explicitly demonize huge segments of what is (supposed to be) our country.  

"My purpose, however, is not to criticize our ruling regime. No, I’m here to criticize psychologically conquered white people and to denounce white liberal supremacy. The former constitute so much of the governing class within the Republican Party and the latter are at the top of every major U.S. institution, public and private. It is time to be critical of the innumerable half-truths and white lies that pass for discourse in our decadent age.

                                   Our Dumb, Racialist Civic Vocabulary 

"Who is a “white supremacist” according to our ruling regime? According to students at the University of Washington, it is George Washington. Who is a “white nationalist?” Apparently, it is anyone who objects to open borders, reads Patrick Buchanan, or worked for Donald Trump.

"This is where we are as a people. We are in a world where, after an elderly man who happens to be Asian is killed by a criminal who happens to be black, the regime and its sycophants decide to solve the problem by marching against . . . white supremacy? The generalized outbreak of violence against Asians by non-Asians is the fault of . . . white supremacy? " . . .

The Legends of Our Fall; The left-wing postmodern idea of “truth” as a mere pick-and-choose official narrative is now normal.

 No modern era has changed American life more than three events in the 12 months between February 2020 and February 2021—the COVID-19 pandemic, the death of George Floyd, and the January 6 Capitol assault and riot. Yet in all three cases, legends, not facts still dominate. 

Victor Davis Hanson   "Many politicians at one point or another live by lies—if they can get away with them. 

"Our supposed sentinels, the media—self-defined as independent, cynical, and skeptical journalists—are supposed to separate political fictions from truth.  

Legends As Facts 

"Of course, sometimes they used to do that—if only selectively. There were Communist sympathizers in the Roosevelt Administration and holdovers in the 1950s deep state. But the Red Peril was not always what the demagogic Joe McCarthy claimed when shaking his lengthy, indiscriminate “lists” of “commie” names and crimes. 

"Once U.S. Army counsel Joseph Welch, Edward R. Murrow, and assorted journalists began to demand proof of all of McCarthy’s charges, his public following dissipated.  

"The George W. Bush Administration in its case to remove Saddam Hussein unwisely ignored all the 23 bipartisan writs authorizing the use of the force by the Congress. Instead, it rhetorically bundled all congressional authorizations into one case against Saddam Hussein: the existential threat of huge Iraqi stockpiles of deliverable “weapons of mass destruction.”  

"After Saddam’s removal, U.S. forces did not find depots of poisonous and nerve gases. Whether they were nonexistent, or moved stealthily to border dictatorships like Syria or even Iran, or were destroyed no one knew. The public only remembered the government assurance that WMDs, the popular justification for the preemptive invasion, would be there upon U.S. arrival—a narrative that the media originally did not question and then later swore that it always had been skeptical as it led the cheer: “Bush lied, people died.' ”  . . .

Criminalizing Protest at the Capitol

 Andrew Paquette  "For four years, Democrats worked hard to criminalize support for Donald Trump. They investigated Lt. General Michael Flynn, advisor Carter Page, personal attorney Michael Cohen, foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulus, and campaign strategist Roger Stone, among others. Most were arrested for brief periods. None were guilty of anything related to Trump, most weren’t guilty of any crime at all. They were prosecuted because of their affiliation with President Trump.

"Now, our duly re-elected President Trump has been ousted from the office of president by a criminal conspiracy to install Joseph Biden, an usurper, in his place. To do this, a combination of voter fraud, election fraud, dereliction of duty in the courts, and suppression of conservative speech was employed.

"One of the more perfidious examples of the new intolerance for all things connected to an honest assessment of the 2020 election are the mass arrests of people who attended the January 6th rally in Washington D.C. Two events took place on that day, each initiated by different groups of people on opposite sides of the election integrity issue.

"On one side, Trump supporters gathered on the Ellipse to hear the president speak on the subject of election fraud and to show their support. On the other side, Antifa-led groups met at the Capitol for the purpose of gaining unlawful entry to the building, vandalizing it,and blaming Trump supporters for their actions. As proof of their goals, they broadcast messages on social media that exposed their plans in enough detail to leave no doubt regarding their intentions. The Antifa members, all of whom attended the Capitol riot for the purpose of defaming President Trump, wore pro-Trump merchandise to disguise themselves as Trump supporters. This is well-documented." . . .
