House Freedom Caucus Asks McCarthy To ‘End Nancy Pelosi’s Authoritarian Reign’

McCarthy chose five Republicans to be on the committee and investigate the Capitol riot. Pelosi vetoed Banks and Jordan, citing their dismissive statements about the committee, Fox News reported. (RELATED: Pelosi Launches Select Committee To Investigate Jan.6) 

Daily Caller   "The House Freedom Caucus called on Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Friday, Fox News reported.

The caucus sent McCarthy a letter asking him to present a motion by July 31 “to vacate the chair and end Nancy Pelosi’s authoritarian reign as Speaker of the House.”

The caucus called Pelosi’s decision to remove Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan and Indiana Republican Rep. Jim Banks from the Select Committee to Investigate Jan. 6 “intolerable.”

“ 'Speaker Pelosi’s tenure is destroying the House of Representatives and our ability to faithfully represent the people we are here to serve,” the caucus wrote in its letter to McCarthy.

China to US: Move out of the way

The Chinese are not nice these days, according to news reports:  . . . "In your face, Wendy, or something like that.

"The Chinese must feel that this kind of language does not cost them anything.  Maybe they watched that CNN town hall meeting.  Or maybe they saw the incoherent withdrawal from Afghanistan.  Or maybe they expect the Biden administration to focus on climate change rather than growing the U.S. economy.

"China has decided that they can take shots at the U.S. without consequence.  Why not?  They allegedly hatched a virus that destroyed the world's economy and killed three million people.

"Wonder what they're thinking in Taiwan about all of this?  I don't know, but I'd be worried if I lived on that island."

George Soros funneled $1M to defund the police movement as violent crime continues to surge

UK Daily Mail 

"George Soros has provided financial support to an organization backing the defund the police movement as violent crimes surge across the country.

"The billionaire, who regularly backs Democratic congressional candidates and attorneys general, donated $1 million to the Color Of Change PAC, which calls itself the nation’s largest online racial justice organization, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

"The sum was Soros’s largest political donation of the 2021 election cycle and supported the PAC’s efforts to slash police budgets." . . .

At the Olympics, the USA loses again and again, but Americans don't care

 Andrea Widburg

"I hope they all lose, every last one of them, and lest anyone ask, "But what about the athletes who love America?," here’s my answer: if you belong to a business — say, the American Olympic sports franchise — that hates its customers, the fact that you, personally, don't hate those customers is irrelevant.  The customers are going to hate you.  If you dislike that reality, it's time to get into another business or start pushing back against the haters within your organization."

". . .  Of late, though, our athletes are no longer amateurs; the Soviets are gone; we worship at the Chinese shrine; the Olympics are on every two years and broadcast 24/7, making for complete over-saturation; and too many of our Olympic athletes hate the country they're representing.  For that reason, those Americans who love their country the most have cared the least when Americans have fallen flat in Tokyo.

"The first occasion for an anti-Olympic celebration came when the women's soccer team suffered a humiliating defeat to Sweden, with the Swedish team beating the Americans 3-0.  That score, in a game renowned for sometimes having only one score during the entire game, was a blow-out.  The Americans didn't just lose; they were humiliated.  And as many conservatives felt, it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of self-centered, unpleasant, unpatriotic women.  Brigitte Gabriel's response is representative of the conservative view:

 Silvio Canto, Jr.  "Once again, athletes have found a receptive media establishment for all their political philosophy.  I recall when they got questions about their sport: "Hey, Tom Seaver, did you think the manager was going to take you out of the game when you walked the first batter in the 9th inning?"  Or "Hey, Bart Starr, did you call that quarterback sneak in the huddle or on the line?"

"Now they've all become political pundits because they know that there is a microphone waiting for their comments.

Joe Biden’s Misery Index Rises;

Highlights in this week of continuing political disappointment.

 Conrad Black  "This column is becoming a weekly checklist on the descent of American public policy and attitudes further into the depths of frivolity, chaos, and national self-dislike. I was honored to make a small contribution last week to the edition of this website celebrating its fifth anniversary. In the editors’ statement on that anniversary, they renewed their hostility to the ineptitude and moral decrepitude of the bipartisan ruling class, their “opposition to the unaccountable administrative state,” their dislike of an American oligarchy, particularly the “Big Tech monopoly to suppress disagreement,” and their contempt for “pernicious utopian ideologies.” It is a privilege to be associated with such opinions.

"In this past week, we’ve seen the absurd spectacle of a group of Texas state legislators commandeering a private plane as they fled from Texas to escape the ability of the governor of Texas to require them to return to Austin and discharge the duty they were elected to carry out, in this case, vote on a voting reform bill. 

"The selfies they took on the planes as they swilled beer—maskless despite masking regulations the Democrats are particularly fervent about upholding, given that they are the party of COVID terror—and the subsequent positive COVID tests of several of the fleeing legislators are almost too ludicrous to believe." . . .

Mr. Biden, with eyes narrowed to angry slits, declared the efforts to assure just and fair elections equal the dead of over half a million men in the War Between The States:

The man who accosted Tucker Carlson has an interesting background

 Andrea Widberg  "It’s already old news that an obnoxious leftist verbally assaulted Tucker Carlson, who was in a fly fishing shop in Montana. Leftists celebrated one of their own throwing mindless insults in Tucker’s direction. Conservatives appreciated how Tucker kept his calm and his sense of humor. Now, though, some interesting information is emerging about the leftist yahoo, a guy named Dan Bailey, thanks to his having outed himself on his Instagram account. It turns out that Dan Bailey worked for an organization that was closely associated with the CIA.

"We’ll begin with Bailey doxing himself by proudly posting the video on his own Instagram account, including a rehash of the insults he spouted while following Tucker around the store:" . . .

It’s probably just a coincidence that Dan Bailey, of all people, hunted down Tucker Carlson, a man hostile to the Deep State, and berated him in a threatening manner, saying “I don’t care” when Tucker asked him to show respect for the fact that Tucker’s young daughter was watching Bailey’s bullying unfold. But have you noted that, lately, none of the “coincidences” in 2021 America have proven to be that coincidental?

Tucker Carlson Shuts Down Leftist Confronting Him in Montana Store: ‘Settle Down, Son’

"Tucker Carlson was recently approached in a Montana fishing tackle store by a man who berated him as the “worst” human being. Tucker handled it well, but the left is positively giddy about this. 

"I can’t help but recall Maxine Waters telling leftists to confront their political opponents in public." . . .

. . . "The left despises Tucker because they fear him, and if you watch his show, you know why. He has a massive reach and is asking questions that Democrats do not want mentioned out loud.

"You’ll notice that the HuffPo piece smears him as “noted vaccine skeptic.” Funny, I don’t recall the left using such words about Kamala Harris and Joe Biden." . . .

NSA Confirms Unmasking Tucker Carlson, Gives Inconsistent Denial on Spying Allegations  . . . "A month ago, Fox News host Tucker Carlson reported that a whistleblower who was “in a position to know” had reached out to him to alert him that the National Security Agency (NSA) was “monitoring our electronic communications and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take the show off the air.” . . .

Certain aspects of Carlson’s story were later confirmed by other news outlets like Axios, which backed up his claim that the NSA had unmasked him:

An Insult': GOP Senator Apoplectic Over Tree-Spiking Biden Nomination

A Tree Spiking Incident From The 1980s Is Looming Over Biden’s BLM Nominee

. . . "But the decades-old incident is pretty muddy. The two men who were convicted of tree spiking told E&E News that Stone-Manning wasn't involved, but offered differing accounts for when she learned about it. Republicans note that a federal employee who investigated the case alleged that she was actually a target of the investigation. They have asked Biden to withdraw Stone-Manning’s nomination. And they point out that former Obama BLM Director Bob Abbey agrees with them. Stone-Manning supporters note Obama's other BLM Director, Neil Kornze, and former Clinton BLM head Jim Baca both continue to support her nod." . . .

  "So a rational Republican Senator has to explain what tree spikes do, based on EXPERIENCE, not philosophy... Dems pay attention.

 Tree-spiking an eco-terrorist tactic  1990:    . . . "It was May 1987, and Alexander was 23. His job was to split logs. He was nearly three feet away when the log hit his saw and the saw exploded. One half of the blade stuck in the log. The other half hit Alexander in the head, tearing through his safety helmet and face shield. His face was slashed from eye to chin. His teeth were smashed and his jaw was cut in half." . . .

'Most Popular Ever' Joe Biden Gets Heckled and Can't Draw an Audience

"We love you, Joe!" Very much unaware of who the hecklers were and what they were saying.

RedState 

. . . "Despite the fact that Biden has bent over backwards to the left and pretty much given them everything they’ve wanted, it’s apparently still not enough. Biden was heckled by folks on the left pushing to “Stop Line 3,” referring the 1,097-mile crude oil pipeline extending from Edmonton, Alberta to Superior, Wisconsin, that Enbridge is going to replace with newer pipe. The line is already there, so basically what these folks seem to be saying is they don’t want to have it replaced/updated, which seems a pretty poor argument. But Biden has stopped the Keystone XL Pipeline, killing thousands of jobs and harming our energy position, so who knows how radical he still might go, if pressed?" . . .

Poll: Americans Think Blacks Are More Racist Than Whites…

Such a loss to us all; I meet constantly, every day, black people who are friendly, courteous and uplifting, at church and elsewhere. Yet the news shows us only scowling, angry faces on the streets and in Congress of those who stoke anger and violence among this nation. TD

 Weasel Zippers

"And yet libs claim blacks can’t be racist." The racism I fear is that of young black people who notice my white face as I approach them. If a victim of a previous mugging, or the "knock-out game" such as many Asians have been crosses the street to avoid being too close to a group of African-Americans, are they racist? Or if I am a store owner? TD

"Via Rasmussen:

Americans believe Blacks are more racist than whites, and think Hispanics and Asians are less racist.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 70% of American Adults think the term “racism” refers to any discrimination by people of one race against another. Just 16% say it refers only to discrimination by white people against minorities. Another 14% are not sure...

Texas Weighs Divestment From Ben & Jerry’s Parent Company Over Israel Boycott

 Washington Free Beacon  "Texas may divest from Ben & Jerry's parent company after the ice cream manufacturer announced it will end operations in Israeli-controlled territories, the state's head financial officer said Thursday.

" 'I've directed my staff to determine whether any specific action taken by Ben & Jerry's or Unilever would trigger a listing under Chapter 808 of the Texas Government Code," which prohibits the state's pension fund from investing in companies that refuse to operate in an "Israeli-controlled territory," State Comptroller Glenn Hegar told CNBC.

"The move follows Ben & Jerry's announcement Monday that the company will no longer sell its products in "Occupied Palestinian Territory," referring to the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The Texas statute applies to parent companies and could force the state to divest its multibillion-dollar retirement fund from Unilever, which purchased the ice cream company in 2000.

"Ben & Jerry's boycott could also force a dozen other states with similar laws, including New Jersey, Illinois, and Florida, to divest from the British conglomerate. Florida chief financial officer Jimmy Patronis, who manages his state's pension fund, said his office is evaluating the issue, according to CNBC. More than 30 states have anti-boycott laws and executive orders, including measures that could prohibit state governments from working with Unilever and Ben & Jerry's." . . .

Meet Ben & Jerry’s Board Chair: Anti-Israel Activist Has Published Defenses of  Hezbollah, Hamas  . . . "Ben & Jerry's is under increased scrutiny for its decision to join the anti-Israel boycott movement, which follows criticism over the ice cream maker's partnership with anti-Semitic figures during the Women's March in 2018. At the time, the company defended its work with Linda Sarsour, one of the march leaders who was ousted for anti-Semitism. Multiple state and local governments, including Texas and Florida, are considering sanctioning Ben & Jerry's and its parent company, Unilever, over the boycott decision.

"Mittal published an article written by Green Party Senate candidate Todd Chretien during the Israel-Lebanon war in 2006 arguing that progressives should support Hezbollah.
