Who’s Really Running the Show at the White House? We Now Have a Name.
This article was originally published by Pjmedia.com.
"The two things I enjoy reading the most are report cards for either of my boys with straight-As, or a Democrat-friendly puff-piece in a major publication gone horribly wrong.
"Since report cards aren’t due for another three weeks, I guess we’ll just have to make do today with Sarah Baxter’s clueless revelation that Joe Biden isn’t up to the job of being president — and that he’s basically turned the job over to an appointee who didn’t even need Senate consent.
"Hell, Baxter’s Times (of London) article even puts “President Klain” right up top in the headline.
“ 'President… WHO?” I hear you ask.". . .
. . . "For a taste of the friendly tone, look no further than Baxter’s lede:
The name’s Klain — President Klain. Washington insiders delight in assigning the White House chief of staff this mischievous title as the driving force behind the actual president, Joe Biden. The man himself, Ron Klain, would never describe himself this way, but his firm grip on the levers of government has enabled the 78-year-old president to cruise through his first 100 days in office without breaking sweat.
Biden WH Response on Paying Ransom for Pipeline Attack Is More Than a Little Concerning
. . . "But gas prices are just part of what’s sparking concerns about inflation and comparisons to Jimmy Carter and the 1970s. As we noted, Donald Trump, Jr, expressly noted the comparison. It’s starting to look more and more apt.
"So when the Biden regime was asked about the attack, you would think that they would have a strong response. But nope, it’s Jimmy Carter once again. This is possibly the worst government response I have ever heard to such a significant federal crime.
"Let’s listen to Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technology Anne Neuberger explain that whether or not Colonial Pipeline pays ransom to these attackers is a “private sector decision” when a reporter asks what they are going to do about it and what’s the timeline for this problem being addressed." . . .
Biden Is the New Carter, and We Now Have the Gas Lines to Prove It
For those of you who want to be "woke"
'Woke' Celebrities Cry for Diversity, Get Their Own Ego-Boosting Golden Globes Canceled "Hollywood, which routinely scolds the country for its perceived systemic racism, will most certainly be one awards show short next year after industry titans looked around them and apparently saw nothing but a bunch of racists.
"NBC has canceled its scheduled broadcast of next year’s Golden Globe Awards amid a row over a lack of diversity inside the group that crowns the winners, while Hollywood stars and studios are also now attacking the annual exercise in “woke” back-patting." . . .
. . . "Translation: The HFPA will fall in line after becoming a victim of the leftist cancel culture it enabled. What does this all mean for the rest of us? Likely, no Golden Globes show for at least next year. That’s a win for all who tired of watching the biggest hypocrites in the country parade around annually to chastise the rest of us over how we live and vote." . . .
The ‘Woke’ FolliesApparently, the most compelling argument made by the true believers in Marxism/socialism is that the United States, based on its founding, is an irredeemable nation that must be transformed. And that irredeemability is centered on racism and a denial of a myriad of unassailable “civil rights.” The recruiting of the naïve, agnostic and ill-educated who wish to be swept up in a supposed grand crusade of promoting these manufactured rights has become comparatively effortless.
How White Leftist Politicians and Hipsters Have Already Killed Wokeness . . . "The word “woke” now represents a communist’s wish list for American policy, and there’s not a single person who can deny that the word “woke” now signifies a devotion to any or all of those political ambitions that Serrano describes. And while the word began as a countercultural sigil in the black community meant to highlight a specific and important issue, the myriad unrelated and radical policy positions that have been later assigned to the term are now being championed by Hollywood, the news media, multi-billion-dollar corporations, Big Tech, and the now-seated ruling regime in American government.
"If all of that that doesn’t serve as evidence that “wokeness” is currently occupying the space of a status quo, then I don’t know what does." . . .

‘Transwomen Are Women’ and Other Polite Lies
Such statements seem accommodating, but they come at the expense of actual women.
Daily Signal video
Abigale Shrier "Let me ask you something: Why don’t people trust their instincts?” It’s a great line, delivered by serial killer Martin Vanger (Stellan Skarsgård) to his tethered quarry, Mikael Blomqvist (Daniel Craig), in the movie version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It’s a scene I’ve never been able to shake because it crawls with that relentless electrostatic charge — truth. Vanger goes on:
You knew something was wrong, but you came back into the house. Did I force you? Did I drag you in? No. All I had to do was offer you a drink. It’s hard to believe that the fear of offending can be stronger than the fear of pain. But you know what? It is.
"This, more or less, is the predicament in which we find ourselves in 2020. Bit by bit, redefinition by redefinition, we have backed into a room that unsettles us, prodded by the fear of causing offense. In the public sphere, we’ve allowed women to become “menstruators,” or “people with vulvas,” or “bleeders” — even though we don’t really believe these are signal traits of womanhood. Even though we believe women and mothers (“birthing people,” as Harvard Medical School’s Medical Education recently referred to them) are so much more.
"Why, then, do we refer to them in this degrading way? So as not to offend those biological women who identify as something else — as “non-binary” or“transmen.” We use “birthing people” and “menstruators” to refer to women, so that transwomen don’t feel left out. There are just so many feelings to consider, so much indulgence from our bleeding, um, hearts." . . .
But in the public sphere, we must be sticklers for truth. Not out of callousness to others’ feelings, but in order to cleave to objective reality — and to protect the women’s rights that are slipping away. “Menstruators” or “bleeders” or “vulva owners” aren’t worthy of special spaces or protection. Creatures lowly as these hardly seem worthy of mention at all. (Emphasis added by TD)

To Sean Hannity: Please Do Not Make ‘Caitlyn’ Jenner into a Hero
So, in the name of ousting a very liberal governor and helping restore California, Hannity has embraced some of the foundational values of transgender activism, referring to a biological male as “she” and referring to Bruce Jenner as “Caitlyn.”
Townhall "I am not trying to demonize Bruce “Caitlyn” Jenner or to portray him as some kind of moral monster. Obviously, I cannot relate to whatever internal struggles moved him to try to change his gender (which, for the record, cannot be done), and he may be a fine person and a decent human being in many other ways.
"I am simply saying that, by no means should he be the latest poster boy/girl for conservative values, even if he is currently seeking to replace California’s radical governor, Gavin Newsom." . . .
. . . "Now, with the Equality Act looming, an act which would literally gut religious freedoms in America, and with states having to pass bills to protect female sports, the last thing we need is to normalize trans identity in our conservative circles." . . .

Yes, Biden Is Swindling Americans: White House Staffer Lets the Cat Out of the Bag
PJ Media "The myth of the “moderate” Joe Biden stubbornly refuses to die — partially because the Democrats and the legacy media are working overtime to keep it breathing. From day one, Biden has aimed to erase his predecessor’s legacy, rejected Republican efforts to pass clean bills on COVID-19 and infrastructure, and inflamed the culture war on abortion, transgenderism, and race. He even called Georgia’s new election integrity bill “Jim Crow on steroids.”
"Yet, somehow, Democrats and the legacy media continue to twist the limits of deception by branding this firebrand a “moderate.” This weekend, a White House staffer confessed that this is a key part of Biden’s strategy.
“ '[A]t his hundred-day mark, Biden is the most liberal president we’ve had — and the public thinks he’s a moderate,” an unnamed White House staffer told New York Magazine. “That’s a winning strategy to me. They’re willing to accept that you’re gonna write this piece as long as they know that swing voters in Colorado aren’t gonna read it.”
Recommended: Biden Is Radically Transforming America Far Faster Than Obama Dreamed
"This gobsmacking admission comes nine paragraphs into Olivia Nuzzi’s article about “How the White House Polices Language in Washington.” Nuzzi’s piece focuses on how the Biden White House responded to the president’s recent gaffe in which he admitted there was a “crisis” on the southern border in contradiction to his administration’s messaging that there was no “crisis” on the border.
"Nuzzi noted that the word “crisis” “suggests spiraling, breakdowns in the system, and the people who work for the new president happen to love systems. This is the return to normalcy: The professionals are back in the building — hyper-sensitive and type A — and Washington sure feels tense. ‘We are just not going to get pulled down in the muck of right-wing-driven arguments about word choice,’ Psaki said. Semantics debates, she added, keeping with the swamp imagery, are a form of ‘crocodile wrestling.'” . . .
California Leavin'
. . . "Big Tech monopolies will still maintain their Bay Area enclaves for now, but older and more traditional tech firms are heading to Texas. Sleeping six to a room in a decrepit building converted into a dorm may be part of the price of admission in start-up culture, but even much of the tech industry is opting out of the hellscape of the talent rat race.
"This exodus probably won’t have good political consequences for either California or Texas.
"The middle class provides political and economic stability and it’s vanishing from the state at rapid rates. What’s replacing it is an itinerant hipster class drawn to Big Tech and the entertainment industry, driven by radical politics, but with no commitment to the state.
"This same hipster class wrecked New York City, before abandoning it in droves, and is busy wrecking its hubs in Portland and Seattle. Not to mention any other cities where it got a foothold." . . .
California Fleeing: Democrats delude themselves about why their state is losing people
. . . "Yet despite these embarrassing numbers, brought on by one-party leftist rule in California, state officials delude themselves that it's nothing to do with their policies. Breitbart notes:
State officials chalk off the declining population over the past year to a declining birth rate, reductions in international immigration, and deaths from the coronavirus.
In 2020 alone, 51,000 Californians died from the coronavirus.
"Really? I just went to a farewell party last night in Lake Elsinore, California — a very multi-racial one, where nearly all of the attendees were black and Mexican. They were homeowners. Industrious immigrants. Entrepreneurs. Cops. Military people. The street they were on, in a very pretty, newish neighborhood of McMansions with big yards and swimming pools, was loaded with "For Sale" signs." . . .

Angry, bitter Michelle Claims to 'Live in Fear,' Barack Actually Does
Who does Michelle think lives in fear of whom?
"Had Michelle attributed that fear to a wariness of black drive-by gang bangers or street muggers, it might have made some sense. But her fear, she implied, was of racist police.
"Barack Obama knows better, but he has lived in fear as well. That fear deformed his presidency and sent the nation spiraling down a lethal rabbit hole that has benefitted no one more than the Mao-loving matrons of BLM.
"Not surprisingly, as I learned in researching my forthcoming book, Barack Obama’s Promised Land: Deplorables Need Not Apply, there is no one Barack fears more than wife Michelle, his personal emissary from the world of authentic African-Americans.
. . .
"Of course, it did not have to be this way. In 2008, America handed Obama an extraordinary opportunity. Had he the courage to repeat his Father’s Day address in every relevant venue, he would have forced his followers to understand the source of the pathologies that plagued American cities.
"Instead, he and Michelle encouraged them to read “race” into every slight, every disparity, every grievance, real or imagined. His cowardice pulled the nation apart and drove the homicide rate upward. Deception was his strategy and division his legacy. Few people will remember TARP or Obamacare or Dodd-Frank or even Benghazi, but no one forgets the murder of a loved one." . . .
Kamala’s first foray into international diplomacy does not go well
As Kamala’s peculiar personality, tactlessness, and fairly significant stupidity become increasingly apparent, the fact that she is poised to take over the presidency is unnerving, to say the least.

What's with the mention of Jose Jimenez?
Andrea Widburg "The most relentless slander the Democrats leveled against President Trump was that he was a racist. Any person with marginal intelligence looking at the record knew this was a lie but the Democrats, thanks to their media lackeys, made it stick. Their promise was that international relationships with the non-racist Biden-Harris administration would be so much better. When Biden gave Kamala “Ms. Diversity” Harris responsibility for dealing with the southern border, they celebrated. Six weeks into that brief, though, Harris’s first act was to offend and incense the Mexican president. Ruh-roh!" . . .
. . . "Except nothing went well. Kamala, whom I’ve always been told by people who know her, is as dumb as a box of rocks with the personality of an arch narcissist, managed to leavePresident Lopez Obrador in a towering rage, furious at American machinations and deeply offended when she simply walked out on him." . . .
. . . "The Gateway Pundit translated ABC International’s report on the meeting (emphasis added):
Much has changed the attitude of the Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, towards the White House after the departure of Donald Trump. At his first major meeting with the US vice president, who has recently assumed the task of solving the migration crisis at the border, the Mexican president has come accusing his northern neighbor of interventionist and financier of coup plotters, to which he has added the rudeness of communicating to Kamala Harris that she was not going to stay for the entire meeting – held virtually by the pandemic – for other commitments. Even so, in the face to face, López Obrador has said: “Let’s seek understanding, don’t fight.

Identified: Shocking Video Shows 'Teacher' Hurling Racial Insults Toward LA Sheriff Deputy
When you create a culture in which police are the bad guys and “all cops are bastards,” this is how the public reacts. Everything you witnessed was a manifestation of black lives matter lies and rhetoric, and she did it in front of her own son. Imagine what he’s going to grow up and think of the police. This racist woman thinks she’s not a racist because being black absolves her from that, and according to critical race theory it means she can’t be racist towards the Mexican-American police officer.
Julio Rosas at Townhall "A Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff recorded a shocking interaction he had with a driver he pulled over for using her cell phone while she was operating her vehicle. During the traffic stop, the driver called the deputy sheriff a "murderer" and disparagingly called him a "Mexican." "During the traffic stop, the driver proudly proclaims that she is a teacher before continuing to berate the deputy.
