Why Is Biden Creating His Own Crises?

 Patrick J. Buchanan  "Our mainstream media largely ignored it, the world media did not.

"Ascending the stairs of Air Force One on Friday, to fly to Georgia, President Joe Biden slipped and stumbled. Getting up, he slipped again and then fell. The scene was jolting and disquieting. Adversaries abroad will use it as a metaphor for the decline of the last superpower to emerge from the Cold War.       

"And while our major media may scoff at it, there is talk all over this town about what appears to be the visibly declining physical and mental capacity of this oldest of American presidents at 78.       

"Biden's press conference this coming Thursday—after the longest delay before a first full presidential press conference since Cal Coolidge—will be as closely monitored as Ronald Reagan's second debate in 1984, after he seemed to suffer a mental lapse in his first debate with Fritz Mondale. But now, after his legislative triumph with the enactment of his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, Joe Biden has some new problems, all of his own making. The COVID-19 pandemic he inherited, as Nixon inherited Vietnam in 1969. But Biden and the nation were fortunate in that, by the time he took the oath, two vaccines had been approved and the shots were being given to Americans at a rate of a million doses a day.        

"The new crisis on America's border, however, with record numbers of children, teenagers and families arriving and asking for asylum, is almost entirely Biden's doing. By trashing Donald Trump's border controls as inhumane and promising a more compassionate policy, Biden sent word to Central and South America and the world that the U.S. borders were open again. The result is what we see nightly on TV: Migrants crossing over into the USA in record numbers, with no end in sight." . . .          

Teaching History Without Identity Politics

 Intellectual Takeout  “Our children need to learn more history and civics!” is a regular rallying cry for those who want to see America returned to its moral and common sense roots.

"That a greater emphasis on history and civics is needed is evident from The Nation’s Report Card, which finds only 24 percent of American high school seniors proficient in civics, while only 12 percent of them are proficient in American history.

"These earnest requests and dire statistics have been met by recent bipartisan efforts to beef up the curriculum in these areas in the form of “The Civics Secures Democracy Act,” a bill sponsored by Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Chris Coons (D-DE) among others.

“The bill is part of an extraordinary push by academics, politicians, foundations, and research centers to re-emphasize civics in elementary and secondary education,” Mark Bauerlein writes in a piece for City Journal.

"Only things might not be as rosy as they seem. “Organizers present the Roadmap as bipartisan and balanced, but if you scan the details, you’ll find it relentlessly focuses on group identity, access and exclusion, agency and dissent, and diversity,” Bauerlein explains. While such reforms may be well-meaning, the fact is that “progressives will outnumber conservatives 50 to 1” when the new curriculum is implemented.

"In other words, while one may start out with the goal of teaching about George Washington, John Adams, and other figures in Western civilization, such efforts will soon be replaced by seeing everything from the supposedly repressed perspectives of minorities, women, or sexually divergent individuals.".... More...  

Here Come The Biden Judges, Including His Likely Eventual SCOTUS Nominee

 Legal Insurrection

Will Republicans have the guts to go after the Biden appellate court nominees to prevent SCOTUS grooming the way Democrats went after Miguel Estrada?

"You can read about the Judges at the White House website, but Carrie Severino tells you what you need to know — the list is payback to far left activist groups."

The Grammy Awards Show Is Dying. Here’s Why

 

. . . "But overall, for decades, the Grammy Awards served as an important cultural institution. It helped connect people—artist, audience, and industry—with each other through music. Kenny Rogers was right when he said, in 1982, that “the Grammy is finally established in the minds of everyone as the most meaningful and highly desired award.”

"But just as a rising tide lifts all boats, a sinking tide lowers them, and the Grammy Awards has become just another degenerating institution within our larger degenerating civilization. It now amounts to an orgy of laughably misguided self-congratulation; cliché-ridden social justice pontifications from multimillionaires living in Beverly Hills mansions; packaged rage; racist guilt-tripping; and pathological female autodegradation.

"The most recent example of that last thing, of course, was the pornographic exhibitionism of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. That so many of our cultural overlords have applauded it, and similar Grammy performances over the years, as an expression of “female empowerment,” only shows how perniciously insane our culture has become. I await any intelligible explanation of how women publicly depicting themselves as nothing more than wank fodder “empowers all women, everywhere.” By this dysfunctional standard, Larry Flynt’s Hustler magazine was the best friend your precious daughter ever had." . . .

The meaning behind Kamala's cackle

Andrea Widburg  "Video emerged of Kamala Harris recently speaking about the problems parents face when their schools are closed but they can't afford childcare. This is a serious issue with massive repercussions for children's development and for working mothers. So what did Kamala do? She cracked herself up, laughing so hard she could barely get the words out. What the heck is going on with that woman? Here's the video, so that you can see I'm not exaggerating. For some reason, Harris finds it inordinately funny that parents and children are suffering, even as she backs away compulsively from her audience:" . . .

 . . . "This is not the first time we've seen Kamala laugh uncontrollably and inappropriately.  A few more examples show that it's a go-to behavior for her.  For example, when Stephen Colbert asked Kamala ever so delicately how she could accept the offer to become Biden's vice president when she'd agreed that he probably sexually molested someone, Kamala couldn't stop laughing:" . . .

Are Kamala Harris' Horrible Laughing Tics Just Part of Her Liberal Hubris?

. . . "As for the laughing, yes, it shows she has liberal hubris, but she’s also a terrible human being. Remember she laughed when asked if she was going to visit the border, which has become a humanitarian crisis zone, thanks to this administration's de facto open borders approach to immigration." 

How People Think You Stop Bigotry

WarpRulez: The funniest thing is when a notorious SJW starts falling from grace among her own group, so they start digging up dirt and they find some random online post from like 20 years ago and suddenly this SJW is excommunicated, regardless of her 20 years of SJW activism.

Dr B:  " My grandfather was black, and two of my other grandparents were from Jewish-Latino descent. My skin is brown as you can get. And yet, I have been targeted as a white supremacist, mainly by white bitter SJW men. And I don't even live in the US! What time to be alive!"

COVID-19 ‘Vaccine Passports’ Are Coming But Voter ID Is Still Racist ..  "It seems like just yesterday, and it was, that the liberal media dismissed the idea that people would have to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to engage in commerce and travel as a wild QAnon conspiracy theory. Today however that same liberal media is applauding Joe Biden for working on “vaccination passports” to do just that. Don’t worry, voter ID laws are still racist because proving who you are has its limitations." . . .

Liberal Group Files Complaint That Criticizing Joe Biden Is A Crime  . . .

For CNN, Race Is Only Relevant When It Fits Their Narrative

For CNN, Race Is Only Relevant When It Fits Their Narrative

Daily Wire

"This weekend, Mohammad Anwar, a 66-year-old Uber Eats driver, was killed “when he was thrown from his vehicle after two teenage girls allegedly carjacked him near Nationals Park in southeast Washington, D.C,” according to the Daily Wire.

"Police say the two girls, aged 13 and 15, used a stun gun on Anwar and attempted to drive off with him still partially inside the vehicle, before it flipped, according to NBC 4 Washington.

“ 'Graphic video taken by a bystander depicts the violent scene, which shows how Anwar fought with the girls before they drove off while he was still attached to the vehicle. They crash the car, and the video later shows Anwar’s body on the sidewalk as National Guardsmen help the girls out of the flipped vehicle. One of the girls can be heard saying something about her phone,” the Daily Wire report continued.

"While many reacted in horror at this act of thoughtless and callous violence, several pointed out the obvious double standard applied by the legacy media when it comes to the condemnation of violence.". . . 

"This inane tweet — which attempts to dilute the offense, separating the perpetrators from culpability for Anwar’s murder while conveniently leaving out any racial characteristics of the carjackers — is indicative of a larger pattern. In simple terms, if the perpetrator is white and plays into a narrative of systemic “white supremacy,” their race is relevant. If they are not white, then their race is irrelevant, with additional effort often spent on obfuscating any mention of race.

Mark Levin Slams Biden: Illegal Immigrants Not Coming Because You’re Nice, It’s Because You’re An Idiot

 100%Fedup  "During Joe Biden’s presser, PBS “journalist” Yamiche Alcindor suggested to Biden that illegal immigrants are coming to the border because Biden is such a nice and moral man.

"Biden actually repeated her point and bought into it.

"Mark Levin slammed this exchange on his show.

"CNS News reports:" . .  . 

“The perception of you that got you elected as a moral, decent man is the reason why a lot of immigrants are coming to this country and entrusting you with unaccompanied minors,” Alcindor told Biden.

“No, they’re not coming because you’re the nice guy. They’re coming because you’re an idiot,” Levin responded. “You’ve said that they should come and they know that you don’t mean it when you tell them not to come….Then you lie about President Trump allowing little kids to die on the border.”    More...

Conservatives need a leader — and all we’ve got are politicians

 Bookworm Room

"In Congress, you can always count on Democrats to vote the straight Democrat ticket. And you can always count on the Republicans to go to war against each other." . . .

"Since November 2020, conservatives have been adrift, something that won’t change until someone moves to the head of the pack and brings them together.

"One of the things that makes leftists leftist is that they are pack animals. They move in unison. Even when they’re being insanely tribal, as with Columbia University having separate graduation ceremonies for Blacks, “La-tinx’s,” Native Americans, Asians, gays, and low-income people, they still have an overarching ideological lockstep.

Meanwhile, the very nature of conservativism is a kind of “leave me alone” attitude that doesn’t want to move in lockstep with anybody. That approach to life, if given free rein and tempered with morality, tends to make for a very good country. The problem is when conservatives find themselves facing off against insanely well-organized leftists.

"That’s what we’re seeing now in America. It’s not just that the leftists have control over the federal government, it’s also that they are moving with the precision of a synchronized swimming team. At the same time, it’s impossible to corral Republican senators and House members to do anything together. Republicans have NeverTrumpers, RINOs, Chamber of Commerce types, core conservatives, and every other “diverse” form of conservativism. Across the aisles from them are Democrats who can count on every last person to climb on board. (To the extent that’s not always true, the exceptions are notable precisely because they are exceptions.)" . . .

You're Racist, whether You Like It or Not

 Nathan Stone

" 'In my mind...this was an anti-Asian hate crime."  So declared Congresswoman Judy Chu regarding the Atlanta shooting, in which eight women died, six of whom happened to be Asian.  It seems to be a popular opinion.  Andrew Sullivan, writing on his Substack page, reported that (as of March 19) the New York Times had published nine pieces that presented the slaughter as motivated by anti-Asian racism, while the Washington Post had published sixteen stories in the same vein.  All these stories, to a T, found the real motivation of the murders the deeply rooted anti-Asian bigotry in American history.  Many of them also linked it to the rise in anti-Asian crimes, which was then coupled with Donald Trump's labeling of COVID-19 as "the China virus."

"What makes these stories so shocking — or predictable — is that there is no evidence at this point to suggest that the shooter, Robert Aaron Long, was motivated by racism of any kind.  When questioned by police as to why he killed the eight women and wounded several more, Long replied that he was a sex addict who saw the women as a near occasion of sin (he is also Southern Baptist) and decided that if there were no more temptations, there would be no more addiction.  Several pieces of evidence back up this declaration.  Long's former roommates told authorities that he had frequented the spa/masseuse parlor where his victims worked because he could acquire cheap sex easily.  It also doesn't make sense that a white supremacist operating under anti-Asian bigotry would kill two white women along with his six Asian victims." . . .  More...
