 Biden’s Approval Rating Is Dropping Fast; The inevitable decline has only begun. 

"Let’s talk about the mythical Mr. Fernandez, who’s your Latino everyman in modern America. Let’s say Mr. Fernandez is a carpenter, or a plumber, a second-generation Mexican-American who lives in, say, the barrio in South San Antonio.

"His neighborhood is a borderline slum, but he owns his house in it. There’s a rented house next door which is usually overpopulated with illegals. He wakes up to trash in his yard often. He worries that MS-13, or something similar, will take over the streets, with the crime attendant in that. The public school his kids go to and the emergency room at the hospital nearby are usually overpopulated, to varying degrees, with illegals or their children.

"Mr. Fernandez doesn’t have anything against the illegals, but that doesn’t mean he’s willing to sacrifice his own quality of life for them. And he bristles at the idea that public policy ought to be made in order to coddle them because that’s the key to getting his vote." . . .

Bashing the Bamster's Big Birthday Bash

In referring to Barack Obama, must "he" and "him" be capitalized?

Obama Birthday Bash to Smash All Known Woke Values  . . . "As planned, some 475 invited guests and at least 200 worker bees will swarm the Obamas' waterfront estate on Martha's Vineyard, a tony little island off the coast of Massachusetts.  In addition to their vax cards, I suspect the worker bees and even the guests will have to show a photo

ID.  Apparently, birthday invites are more vulnerable than ballots in Obama world." . . .

. . . "Beyond caring about appearances — the birthday party makes that clear — Obama no longer has a need for his presumed "father" or his living African relatives.  They have felt the sting.  The best man at Obamas' wedding, Malik Obama, voted for Donald Trump in 2016.  Don't expect to see him or the other kin at the bash." . . .

Lol. Friends, I know there's a pandemic on and many of you are being evicted, but why not chip in to help a very rich man buy a building to celebrate himself?

"You are seriously out of touch asking for people’s  hard earned money during such difficult times, for a multi-millionaire who owns 30 acres of waterfront property

Somebody will pay up; I recall a donor contributed millions to Oral Roberts' skyscraper after that TV evangelist told us God would take him to Heaven if the money was not contributed. Perhaps Obama should have charged extra for people to enter the open-aired monuments he spitefully declared must be closed during his last shutdown. TD

LOL: Obama Scales Back Superspreader Birthday Bash After Criticism  . . . "As my PJM colleague Stephen Green noted, according to the CDC’s latest guidance for large gatherings, people should instead “host a video chat party with family and friends to share in the celebration” or even hold “safely distanced drive-in or drive-through celebrations.”

"Perhaps the Obamas were thinking their guests could loot and burn down his house chanting “Black lives matter!” so they could achieve that unique COVID immunity that occurs only during protests of injustice.

Bill Maher Describes Cancel Culture As a ‘Purge,’ Says it ‘Belongs in Stalin’s Russia’

 Legal Insurrection

“Change is not synonymous with progress. Newer doesn’t automatically mean better.”

"HBO host Bill Maher slammed cancel culture on his show this past weekend.

"Maher brought up cancel culture due to Olympic officials losing their jobs “for offensive jokes.”

"The majority of the offensive jokes happened years, some decades, before the Tokyo Olympics.

"Thanks, Maher, for reminding people that thinking cancel culture exists is not a conservative position:

Remember when your teacher used to try to scare you, they’d say, ‘You know, this is going to go down on your permanent record?’ No longer an empty threat now. This is called a purge. It’s a mentality that belongs in Stalin’s Russia. How bad does this atmosphere we are living in have to get before people who say cancel culture is overblown admit that it is, in fact, an insanity that is swallowing up the world?

That is not a conservative position, my friends. My politics have not changed. But I am reacting to politics that have. And this is yet another example of how the woke invert the very thing that used to make the liberals liberal. Snitches and bitches? That’s not being liberal. The Associated Press is a real news organization, yeah? So why am I reading this headline: ‘Olympic surfing exposes whitewashed Native Hawaiian Roots.’ Yeah, the Olympics added surfing this year. Good. Surfers deserve to be recognized as athletes. I’m sorry, what I meant to say is no, that’s cultural appropriation…

The ugly Americans: they lost "and it's glorious"!

Take A Knee, Then Take A Seat

. . . What the left has done to the country is disgusting, and there’s no easy road back. . . .

"Look at me!"

"It was a weird position in which to find myself – actively rooting against the United States Olympic team. Not the whole team, though I’ve been rather open about my indifference on that subject, but the women’s soccer team. Or should I say, the wymxn’s soccer team? Who knows, and who cares? They lost and it’s glorious.

"There are some members of the team you feel sorry for, the few who don’t kneel during the national anthem, but not many. The rest of them? Meh.

"Led by Megan Rapinoe, the Americans lost to Canada in the semi-finals, ending their chances at a gold medal. Excellent. I love the country, I don’t support those to take it for granted or those who would protest against it while in the midst of representing it. If it’s so awful, don’t play for it.

"When I woke up Monday morning and heard the news I felt the mixed feelings you might expect: happy they were out of gold contention and sad it had come to this. What the left has done to the country is disgusting, and there’s no easy road back. You can’t convince people you’ve been insisting are victims, who’ve based their identity on the victimhood, that they are, in fact, the perps." . . .

Megan Rapinoe Insults Canada After They Handed Her Another Loss, but Canadians Fire Back  "Rapinoe’s swipe at Canada’s skill as a soccer-playing country ventured into bad sportsmanship territory, which is par for the course of Rapinoe who isn’t exactly known for spreading around positivity and fair-mindedness.

"Canadians, normally known for being overly polite and nice, had a few things to say to Rapinoe in return.

She’s equally ungracious in victory. All I can hope is that the US Women’s soccer team goes home without a medal and learns a little humility. Remember the celebrations when they drubbed Thailand 13-0 in 2019. They were due for a little karma and a slice of maple humble pie.

 Public Celebrates as Woke Athletes Fail at Olympics  . . . "A number of leftist Olympics warriors went down to ignominious defeat this week after focusing on divisive political protests and promoting the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization.

"After spending years protesting against America, the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team took an early loss against Sweden on July 21, right after the Tokyo Games opened.

"On Sunday, the team was knocked out of gold medal contention entirely due to a humiliating loss to Canada.

"However, instead of finding a Team USA loss devastating, many patriots back home reacted gleefully when the team, led by spoilt anti-American protester Megan Rapinoe, went down to defeat in Japan.

“Little Ms. Purple Hair and her team of woke warriors fell flat on their faces,” read an article on the website of American conservative commentator Wayne Dupree.

"Maybe it would have been smarter for Team USA to focus more on the actual sport of soccer than the sport of ‘liberal wokeness,'” the article continued.

US wokesters come out second to Olympic patriots

Wokesters' Nightmare: Almost all of the Olympic medal winners are patriots 

"Many Americans are ignoring the Olympics this year based on the wokester politics of certain loudmouth Olympic athletes, some just itching to turn their podium moments into anti-U.S. protests. It's disgusting, given that they've chosen to compete under the U.S. flag. It not only comes off as the height of ingratitude, it indicates contempt for the American people as a whole, who love their flag and country. Who needs that crap? Many just say no, and not just 'no' but 'hell no,' and watch the Olympics to cheer the other team, a new phenomenon, which has been evident in all the delight at the gold- and silver- medal loss of the wokester women's U.S. soccer team, and its offensive captain, Meghan Rapinoe."

The GOP Should Revolt Against Lame Duck Pelosi’s Dictatorship

Maybe she will expel the Republicans. Great. In her regime, the GOP can’t do anything anyway. It cannot even pick its own committee members.

 Townhall  "The ridiculous mask kabuki that Lame Duck Dictator Nancy Pelosi is attempting to impose upon the Party of Freedom is the perfect opportunity for the GOP to demonstrate that

it is not a flock of hapless, wriggling invertebrates. A little spine shown right about now would go a long way, not only to winning back Congress in 2022 by an even bigger margin than currently anticipated but to fixing the institution that power-mad harridan has grievously damaged. It might mean accepting that Republicans will be booted from the House for a bit, but who cares? We have zero input anyway. Make a stand.

"Here you go, GOP. Here’s your game plan. Get together. Throw your grody face-thongs into the trash. Walk into the People’s House. Refuse to obey her erratic and bizarre commands to submit." . . .

. . . "Maybe she’ll “fine” you. Great. Have lawyers on standby to go to court for an injunction against her unilateral attempt to alter your pay as legislators. Courts exist to solve disputes, and you have a good case. Can she also dock your pay for…not voting as she sees fit? Why or why not, Democrat ambulance chasers? Let’s have that fight." . . .

Hardhat-wearing ‘everyman’ rips sheepish response to ‘madness’ behind Biden admin’s vaxx push

America-hating soccer team loses to Canada

(July 31) Here’s why some Americans want the US women’s football team to lose at Tokyo Olympics

Many could not hide their glee after the US soccer team endured a humiliating defeat against Sweden in their opening match of the Olympics.

"There’s something you normally don’t witness during the Olympics: people wishing and passionately cheering for the defeat of their own football team.

"Usually, people go out on a limb to support their national team, even if the chances of their winning are bleak. However, this time around, American fans were so thoroughly repulsed by their own women soccer team that they prayed with all their might for their defeat and elimination from the Olympics.

"A large number of US citizens do not want to see their women soccer team win at the Olympics. Their reason being that the team is too woke to a fault, which they claim is unduly affecting their performance. They want their team to lose so that the players realise the perils of warming up to the evil of wokeism. And their discontent with the US women soccer team was manifest in their social media posts when they suffered an unexpected defeat against Sweden in the opening match at the Olympics." . . .

"I don't recall being this happy from a sporting event result in a very long time, not because I'm Canadian, but because the US womens soccer team lost."

"Honestly could[n't] care less about the lesbian business, but she is American-hating is a huuge problem! And, wokeness is thee worst!"

KARMA: USA Women’s Soccer Loses to Canada...Out of the Running for the Gold Medal

. . . "Controversy has followed the team since some of the players became political activists instead of focusing on winning. The main instigator of the move to “wokeness” is Megan Rapinoe who wears her activism on her sleeve. The entire team wore BLM t-shirts during warm-ups for their last game against Mexico before traveling to the Olympics."

"Many on the team kneel or ignore the National Anthem by staying in the locker room during its playing. What they don’t get is that they have the freedom to make asses of themselves by hating their home country but they wouldn’t have those same freedoms in so many other places." . . .

Soon, no one in California will be able to bring home the bacon

I agree but, as always, California’s going about it the wrong way. This change should be organic, coming from the people and driving the marketplace, rather than a single state’s mandate that destroys businesses, wipes out a major part of people’s diets, and negatively affects the whole of the United States.

 Andrea Widburg  "In just five months, California may well be the first state in America that effectively bans any pork products. This is because, back in 2018, voters approved an animal welfare proposition setting out space requirements standards for those who breed pigs, egg-laying chickens, and veal calves. While chicken farmers and veal producers across America have mostly met those standards, it seems the hog farmers have had a harder time. This is an interesting story because it touches upon the laws of unintended consequences and the effect a state like California has on the rest of America.

"The story comes from the Associated Press:

At the beginning of next year, California will begin enforcing an animal welfare proposition approved overwhelmingly by voters in 2018 that requires more space for breeding pigs, egg-laying chickens and veal calves. National veal and egg producers are optimistic they can meet the new standards, but only 4% of hog operations now comply with the new rules. Unless the courts intervene or the state temporarily allows non-compliant meat to be sold in the state, California will lose almost all of its pork supply, much of which comes from Iowa, and pork producers will face higher costs to regain a key market. . . .

Sneaky: Biden officials ordered workers to cover up COVID outbreak at migrant center, whistleblowers say

 

https://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Monica Showalter  "Now that we know that migrants are spreading COVID throughout the country, here's a scandal that goes with it, which hasn't gotten the attention it merits.

According to the Daily Mail:

Two whistleblowers have accused the US Department of Health and Human Services of directing them to downplay the severity of a coronavirus outbreak among migrant children at a federal facility in Texas. 

Arthur Pearlstein, a director at the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and Lauren Reinhold, an attorney-adviser at the Social Security Administration, detailed their allegations in a complaint sent to four Congressional committees and government watchdogs on Wednesday.

They said the outbreak erupted at the Fort Bliss Emergency Intake Site, near El Paso, between April and June of this year.  . . . 

Morning Consult Poll: Pelosi’s Jan 6th Panel...It’s almost like the more ridiculous and ludicrous the Democrats get, the more Americans tune out.

 Legal Insurrection

"Nancy Pelosi’s latest clown show—replete with weeping United States Representatives—isn’t riveting the nation; indeed, according to a new poll by Morning Consult, Pelosi’s January 6 hearings aren’t on the radar of any but the already faithful.  Hilariously, Morning Consult notes that the panel “is largely preaching to its own choir.”

:The poll was taken on July 28-29 and specifically addresses the hearings (archive link).

But outside of the nation’s capital, a new Morning Consult poll suggests that the panel — whose members were appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — is largely preaching to its own choir, as relatively few Republican voters viewed or listened to the daytime hearing and even more are seeking to disassociate their party and its leader from the deadly riot.'" . . .. . . " Not only are fewer Republican voters watching Pelosi’s most recent kabuki theater, but fewer Republican voters blame President Trump for the actions of the relatively few January 6th rally attendees who became unruly at or entered the Capitol building.

BAD NEWS FOR NANCY: Support for Pelosi’s Probe Into January 6th Crashes After Emotional Testimony . . . "Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn has done what no law enforcement officer should do. He politicized the law by lying during his testimony about January 6th. He is not an impartial witness because he lied about what happened to his coworker on that day to advance Nancy Pelosi’s agenda. (see below),

"Dunn should have erased his social media posts before he testified because he’s been outed as a Black Lives Matter supporter who is anti-Trump:" . . . 

The Liz Cheney Meltdown, and What It Means

Republican voters have absolutely had it with her politics. And for good reason.

 The American Spectator  "Bye, Liz.

"The abject implosion of a politician once thought to possess national prospects — though not due to her talent but rather her name and connections — might have been overshadowed by the alarming performance just a few hours later by our near-invalid president. But Liz Cheney’s bizarre performance on the U.S. Capitol steps Wednesday was nonetheless notable.

"If you haven’t followed the lead-up to Wednesday’s meltdown, it involved the sham 9/11 Commission–style inquiry being built to examine the Capitol riot of Jan. 6. That inquiry, to be chaired by partisan hack Mississippi Democrat Bennie Thompson on behalf of Nancy Pelosi, is obviously not built to fully examine what happened that day; it’s built to assign blame to the Republican Party for what Pelosi and the rest of the Democrat Party is determined to present as a casus belli against half of the American people.

"Pelosi’s Jan. 6 commission is a big deal, because she has turned the Capitol into an armed camp behind razor wire for most of the past six months and change over the dubious assertion that the protesters who descended on the building and briefly disrupted the vote to certify a presidential election that still reeks of irregularity and worse presented an “insurrection” and a “grave threat to democracy” to trump (pun not intended, but whatever) anything else since the Civil War." . . .
