The Georgia House Went on the Offensive - Now the Georgia GOP Needs To Follow Suit

The saying has been that when you died, no matter if you were bound for Heaven or Hell, you had to go through Atlanta first. TD

PJ Media

"The Georgia House went on the offensive on Thursday, pushing back against the CEO of Delta, Ed Bastian, who criticized the election security law passed and signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp. The Georgia House revoked Delta’s millions in tax credits before they adjourned for the year. Sadly, the Georgia Senate, led by Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan, failed to do the same before the body adjourned.

"Delta is never going to abandon its Georgia hub because they have successfully prevented a regional airport like Midway in Chicago. Through predominantly Republican support for big business in the state, Delta has held the metro Atlanta hostage to the airport they practically own, despite the electorate’s preference for a regional option. Now, Delta bites the hand that feeds them, and Duncan did nothing. Another consideration for 2022." . . .

The Morning Briefing: Biden and His Idiot Supporters Are Trying to Cancel Georgia

The kicker here is that Atlanta is the Democratic stronghold in Georgia. The cancel animals are so rabid that they don’t care that they are advocating for the economic punishment of their political comrades. The woke scolds continue to redefine absurdity.

So MLB is fine with ball games in Cuba and training in China, but Georgia is the human-rights problem  . . . "Can they explain for us why they recently held a ball game in brutal totalitarian military dictatorship of Cuba? A place Cuban ball players flee from to freedom, which in come cases includes MLB salaries made possible only by living in a free, democratic society that exists already? They aren't fleeing to a hellhole, which is what MLB is now claiming about Georgia.

"Can they explain to us why they hold a training camp in China, home of the Uighur slave-labor laogai and the broken-treaty de-democratization of Hong Kong?" . . .

So baseball has joined the NBA and NFL in their wokeness. Politics has contaminated every form of entertainment in our country  . . . "Meanwhile, I am glad I am old.  I don't know how much more of this  I can take."

Kemp Rips MLB For Caving to 'Fear, Political Opportunism and Liberal Lies'

"Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) is not backing down in the face of woke corporations and activists who are critical of the common-sense voter reform bill that he recently signed into law. Georgia-based corporations including Delta Airlines and Coca-Cola have spearheaded the outrage about the bill, claiming that the provisions will suppress voting accessibility."  . . .

Georgians - and all Americans - should fully understand what the MLB's knee-jerk decision means: cancel culture and woke political activists are coming for every aspect of your life, sports included. If the left doesn’t agree with you, facts and the truth do not matter.

 Trump Calls for Major League Baseball Boycott for Caving to 'Radical Left Democrats'

The Atlanta Braves responded to the MLB’s decision to remove the events from the state by saying it was not the Braves’ decision “nor our recommendation and we are saddened that fans will not be able to see this event in our city.”

“Unfortunately, businesses, employees, and fans in Georgia are the victims of this decision,” the team added.

Joe Biden Fails to Condemn Capitol Attacker   "Soon after reports started spreading on social media about the attack on the Capitol Friday that left one U.S. Capitol Police officer dead, many rushed to the conclusion that the attacker was a white, QAnon-following, Trump supporter, and condemned the attack. Of course, the attacker was none of those things, and all those who jumped to politically convenient conclusions about the attacker wound up with egg on their faces.

"One person who waited until more information was available was Joe Biden, but, unlike those who condemned the attack after assuming a pro-Trump motive behind it, Joe Biden couldn’t find it in himself to condemn the suspect.

“ 'Jill and I were heartbroken to learn of the violent attack at a security checkpoint on the U.S. Capitol grounds, which killed Officer William Evans of the U.S. Capitol Police, and left a fellow officer fighting for his life,” Biden said in a statement. “We send our heartfelt condolences to Officer Evans’ family, and everyone grieving his loss. We know what a difficult time this has been for the Capitol, everyone who works there, and those who protect it.”

“ 'I have been receiving ongoing briefings from my Homeland Security Advisor, and will be getting further updates as the investigation proceeds,” Biden continued.

"Not a single word condemning the attacker, Noah Green." . . .

When Everybody Is a White Supremacist

Jeffrey Folks   

Democrats march in Washington

 . . . "The white supremacist rhetoric opens up a slippery slope whereby eventually one may be charged with racism simply for the "crime" of being white, and certainly for the crime of being a Southern white.  Kamala Harris played the race card in her primary debate with candidate Joe Biden.  Just because he was a white male who had opposed busing, on legitimate grounds, he was deemed a racist.  Presumably, she could not have made that charge against a black who had opposed busing, as many did.  Then, during the campaign, she repeatedly suggested that President Trump was a white supremacist or had ties to or sympathized with white supremacists.

"One assumes that V.P. Harris does not now consider President Biden a racist — not, at least, until it becomes politically expedient to do so.  At that moment, perhaps when she wishes to remove him from office, she might play the race card again.

"For now, Harris confines her accusations to anyone else who gets in her way.  Her comparison of ICE to the KKK introduced white supremacy rhetoric into the discussion of the border crisis.  Other situations are perfectly suited to the white supremacist charge.  The retrial of George Floyd's killer, the shooting of Asian-Americans in the Atlanta area, resistance to the expansion of federal gun control laws after several recent mass shootings — those who oppose the left's script are immediately characterized as white supremacists.

Obama and Noah Green had Farrakhan in common

 Even CNN would have had a hard time explaining Obama's cozy relationship with a man who, among other offenses, casually referred to Jews as "termites" and to Judaism as "the synagogue of Satan."

 Jack Cashill   "For about an hour on Good Friday afternoon, 25-year-old Noah Green, the perpetrator of a lethal attack on the nation's Capitol, found himself the day's designated white supremacist.

"Once the truth emerged that Green was, in fact, not only black, but also an ardent supporter of Nation of Islam honcho Louis Farrakhan, one could all but hear the sound of tweets being deleted across America.

"The late Mr. Green was in good company.  Perhaps the most celebrated FOF, Friend of Farrakhan, was that guy who lived in Calypso Louie's Chicago neighborhood, Barack Obama.  The fact that Obama participated in Farrakhan's 1995 "Million Man March" caused minor problems in the 2008 presidential campaign.

"Obama, however, would have had major problems had not one particular journalist come to his aid, unapologetically at that.  The helpmate in question was photographer and occasional National Public Radio (NPR) commentator Askia Muhammad." . . .

A journalist has revealed a 13-year-old photo of Barack Obama posing with the Nation of Islam's leader that was kept under wraps in order to protect the former president's career.   TD has seen this and used it for years.

"A journalist has revealed a 13-year-old photo of Barack Obama posing with the Nation of Islam's leader that was kept under wraps in order to protect the former president's career. Askia Muhammad snapped the photo of Obama smiling alongside Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan during a Congressional Black Caucus meeting in 2005. Muhammad, who revealed the photo on Thursday, told the Trice Edney News Wire that he 'gave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy' out of concern that it could have 'made a difference' and damaged Obama's political future. The former president was an Illinois Senator at the time the photo was taken." . . .

Here’s a Modest Proposal for Handling Biden’s Nominees

Jeremy Carl

"You may have missed it in the tumult of the news cycle, but just last week, we were treated to a masterclass in statesmanship by Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), who announced a new rule: Hereafter, she will oppose all of Joe Biden’s nominees who are not LGBTQ or minorities.

“I will vote for racial minorities and I will vote for LGBTQ, but anybody else I’m not voting for,” the Democratic Demosthenes told an eager audience of reporters. She was soon joined in her effort by the Solon of the Senate, Maize Hirono (D-Hawaii), whose intelligence, wisdom, and integrity are often remarked upon by Capitol observers.

"I believe that enacting a GOP version of the new Duckworth-Hirono rule, which drew praise from many in the media and was obviously effective in getting both attention and political concessions from Biden, will make Republicans more popular with the press, which is always interested in equal treatment of both parties.

"After all, within hours of Duckworth’s announcement, Biden—shamed at having his obvious racism against Asian Americans exposed—announced he would appoint a senior Asian American White House liaison to make sure that this group would no longer suffer from only moderate over-representation in Biden’s cabinet-level appointments. As a result, Duckworth and Hirono agreed to suspend their rule—for now. Mission accomplished!

"Since the Duckworth-Hirono rule has obviously proved so effective, the GOP version of Duckworth-Hirono rule should be a perfect parallel to the original. And since Republicans always seem eager to copy Democratic initiatives, this one should be a natural fit. In fact, by following the Democrats by days instead of years, we’ll be ahead of the curve!  . . ."

Radical New Rules for Post-America

Victor Davis Hanson

Americans privately fear these rules, while publicly appearing to accept them.

"There are 10 new ideas that are changing America, maybe permanently.  

1) Money is a construct. It can be created from thin air. Annual deficits and aggregate national debt no longer matter much. 

"Prior presidents ran up huge annual deficits. But at least there were some concessions that the money was real and had to be paid back. 

"Not now. As we near $30 trillion in national debt and 110 percent of annual GDP, our elites either believe permanent zero interest rates make the cascading obligation irrelevant, or the larger the debt, the more likely we will be forced to address needed income redistribution. 

"2) Laws are not necessarily binding anymore. Joe Biden took an oath to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” But he has willfully rendered federal immigration laws null and void. Some rioters are prosecuted for violating federal laws, others not so much. Arrests, prosecutions, and trials are all fluid. Ideology governs when a law is still considered a law. 

"Crime rates do not necessarily matter. If someone is carjacked, assaulted, or shot, it can be understood to be as much his fault as the perpetrator’s. Either the victim was too lax, uncaring, and insensitive, or he provoked his attacker. How useful the crime is to the larger agendas of the Left determines whether a victim is really a victim, and the victimizer really a victimizer. 

"3) Racialism is now acceptable. We are defined first by our particular ethnic or religious tribe, only secondarily—if at all—by an American commonality. Unapologetic and explicit exclusion of whites from dorms, graduations, safe spaces, welfare, and federal aid programs is now noncontroversial. It is unspoken payback for perceived past sins, or a type of “good” racism. Falsely being called a racist makes one more guilty than falsely calling someone else a racist. 

"4) The immigrant is mostly preferable to the citizen. The newcomer, unlike the host, is not stained by the sins of America’s founding and history. Most citizens currently must follow quarantine rules, social distancing, stay out of school, and obey all the laws. 

"Yet those entering the United States en masse and illegally need not follow such apparently superfluous COVID-19 rules. Their children should be immediately schooled without worry of quarantine. Immigrants need not worry about their illegal entry or residence in America. Our elites believe illegal entrants more resemble the “founders” than do legal citizens, about half of whom they consider irredeemable." . . . More...

Biden’s Disastrous Infrastructure Plan

Nation and State

Perhaps Biden, who has been employed by the federal government since 1973, is unaware that redistributing wealth is not only the antithesis of a fair economy, but it does not reward work; it disincentivizes it.

"On Wednesday, President Biden traveled to Pittsburgh to continue to advance his progressive agenda with his massive $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan, which he is disingenuously calling the “American Jobs Plan” (AJP). In a couple weeks, he will present the second part of the proposal, called the “American Families Plan.”

"Similarly to the $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan” stimulus package that he signed into law last month, of which only 9 percent was related to COVID relief, Biden’s latest monstrosity has little to do with its supposed purpose. His infrastructure plan is not pro-worker, pro-union, or pro-growth, as he claims.

"Biden’s speech was classic Scranton Joe: alarmist, divisive, disingenuous, specious, short on specifics, and at times incoherent.

“ 'Today I’m proposing a plan for the nation that rewards work, not just rewards wealth. It builds a fair economy that gives everybody a chance to succeed. And it’s going to create the strongest, most resilient, innovative economy in the world,” Biden said."

"Perhaps Biden, who has been employed by the federal government since 1973, is unaware that redistributing wealth is not only the antithesis of a fair economy, but it does not reward work; it disincentivizes it.

"In his speech, when he was not busy dividing the country along racial lines, Biden did so by creating class division: “Millions of Americans lost their jobs last year, while the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans saw their net worth increase by $4 trillion. Just goes to show you how distorted and unfair our economy has become.” Apparently, Biden still has yet to figure out that a meteorite did not hit planet Earth, but rather never-ending lockdowns. And unscientific restrictions that his administration continues to advocate are entirely responsible for many of those jobs that were lost in the last year." . . .

The rabid left comes for Obama

Monica Showalter  . . . "Obama was a lot like the current Joe Biden.  Like Joe,

he  encouraged waves of illegal immigration, but I guess he had to allow the Border Patrol to do some of its lawfully committed duty.  He also built the kids-in-cages cages, not President Trump, though the left tried to pin those on Trump.  During his presidency, leftists yelled that he was the "deporter in chief" based on the fact that he encouraged illegal immigration yet didn't completely open the border.  The logical outcome of that is obvious: human waves plus kids in cages.  Joe Biden, who was placed in charge of the matter at the time, is now making his same old mistakes, senile and unable to learn.

So now we have people who shouldn't be here, and their advocates, demanding that Obama be canceled.  They've already done their worst on George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.  Now they've moved on to Obama.  The funny thing here is that if it were anyone but Obama, Obama would support the move.  Now that it's Obama's turn in the barrel, and there's no Trump to kick around, it will be interesting to see whether and how he reacts.
