RINOs; the Democrats "Fifth Column"

 Fifth Column:  . . . "a group of people who act traitorously and subversively out of a secret sympathy with an enemy of their country. (originally) Franco sympathizers in Madrid during the Spanish Civil War: so called in allusion to a statement in 1936 that the insurgents had four columns marching on Madrid and a fifth column of sympathizers in the city ready to rise and betray it.

Why aren't congressional Republicans impeaching Biden now?   . . . They have done precisely nothing to defend the political prisoners, the unarmed “trespassers” of Jan. 6, who are being sorely abused while the Antifa thugs and BLM terrorists who destroyed city after city over the past summer have not been charged with any crimes.  

"The Democrats openly supported those riots no matter how much damage was done to countless small businesses, many of them minority-owned.  Kamala Harris raised money for their bail which, thanks to Soros-placed DAs, was rarely even needed. " . . . 

These shameless Republicans are greedy as well; they sell out the American people with such ease. We all know that the Democrats are only about power, never people.  This vote proves those Republicans who pretend to be “for the people” are nothing of the kind.  Here they are, treacherous RINOs all:  Roy Blunt (MO), Richard Burr (NC), Shell Moor Capito (WV), Bill Cassidy (LA), Susan Collins (ME), Kevin Cramer (ND), Mike Crapo (SC), Lindsey Graham (SC), John Hoeven (ND), Mitch McConnell (KY), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Rob Portman (OH), Jim Risch (ID), Mitt Romney (UT),  Tom Tillis (NC), Todd Young (IN).  May they all be voted out of office at the earliest possible moment.

. . . "The Republican Party must stop putting such weak people with no strength of character up for office.  Will they ever?" . . . 

The DJ Managed To Take Stealth Pictures Of Obama’s ‘Super Spreader’ Birthday Bash Posted Them Online Before Being Forced To Delete Them (Photos)

 Defiant America  "As we reported yesterday canopies and catering stations that dwarf Obama’s mansion revealed the true scale of the party that, according to the former president’s spokesman, was scaled back from a 700-person extravaganza to a small affair only for family and close friends.

"The mainstream media reported that Obama scaled back his 60th birthday bash, but it seems that is fake news and Obama lied!

"Yesterday morning photos were released of massive tents set up on the Obama compound in advance of the former president’s birthday bash." . . .

. . . Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Jennifer Hudson, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Bradley Cooper, Don Cheadle, Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Bruce Springsteen Erykah Badu, Steven Colbert, and John Kerry were just some of the celebrity guests at the seaside affair which officially should have been a scaled party of family and close friends.
Celebrity guests have begun leaving former President Barack Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard “scaled-down” birthday bash, creating a “s–t show” of traffic congestion on the resort island. . . .

Daily Mail observes it   

Obama invites 500 people to 60th birthday party on Martha's Vineyard

Obama parties with 500 of his closest friends    "Fresh from announcing under pressure that his celebrity-studded 60th birthday party would be 'scaled down' on COVID concerns, and would include only close family and friends, former President Obama went ahead with his Martha's Vineyard bash.

"Here's the Daily Mail's tweet about it:" . . .

"Which leaves the only question 'Scaled down from what?'

"That's a big party. And it comes as Democrat governors and federal officials are talking about extending lockdowns, particularly targeting children."

From images posted on Saturday evening, it is likely that the 'meatless menu' was one of a number of options.

Cuomophobia grows among the left

Gov. Cuomo Hangs Tough as Dems Plot Replacement  . . . "One of the 150-member assembly claimed that Cuomo’s removal was “inevitable,” asserting that 80 assembly members support impeachment, going beyond the 76 votes required for a simple majority." . . .

. . . "Apropos of nothing, Cuomo said in response: “I love you, Don Lemon.” The lovefest was aired on Fox News and the outtake hung in the air as another cringeworthy moment in the history of CNN. It may have designated a new low in the network’s coverage, provided there weren’t so many other competing embarrassing exchanges.

"But it did provide viewers with another sterling example of CNN repackaging the news to fit a one-party narrative: This time  it fell short, because Gov. Cuomo no longer fits the “woke” narrative."

CNN’s Brian Stelter Bashes Chris Cuomo for Defending Brother from Sexual Harassment Claims   . . . "A CNN staffer told BuzzFeed News on Tuesday, “The fact that Chris Cuomo wasn’t fired over his inappropriate conflict of interest in actively affecting a news story is not only irresponsible of CNN, but also a disgrace to journalism.”

"The dissension at CNN comes as the establishment media outlet is under pressure to hold Chris Cuomo responsible for defending Andrew Cuomo from allegations of sexual misconduct detailed in a report dropped Tuesday by Attorney General Letitia James that reveals Chris Cuomo testified in the investigation."

It appears as though Chris Cuomo helped craft Gov. Cuomo’s Feb. 28 statement responding to the Bennett allegations. pic.twitter.com/EYII4yZY1J

 Democrats first, feminists a distant second  "How do Democrats view sexual harassment allegations? If we’re talking about party politicians and operatives, I think they view such claims as weapons to be used to derail their enemies — Supreme Court nominees they disapprove of, for example.

"When the allegations are against enemies, Democratic pols and operatives say, as Joe Biden has, that we should believe the women who make them. But when the allegations are against important allies (as opposed to easily replaceable ones), this rule is discarded, as it was when Tara Reade “credibly” alleged that Biden sexually harassed her.

"To make this double standard stick, it’s useful to have Democratic operatives at the top of organizations claiming authority in matters of sexual harassment. “Time’s Up” is such an organization, perhaps the leading one." . . .

Love Gov and friend.

"Cuomo told her not to share the selfie with anyone. The woman wanted to tell someone but feared she would lose her job." . . .

These Key Similarities Between Lenin’s Red Terror and America’s Woke Culture Reveal Left’s Blueprint For Complete Takeover

Ignorance is a threat to our nation. I watched police facing off with black-clad demonstrators and heard youthful voices come from the masks. The voices shouted only slogans from hand lettered signs, not one original thought or opinion.. These are voters who elected Joe Biden, Congressional Democrats, and the mayors of so many devastated cities and towns. TD

Revolver

. . . Things are not going to naturally get better. Things will not organically “calm down.” Until there is a fundamental reset of America’s treasonous leadership class, today’s unthinkable witch hunt is merely a prelude of an even darker globalist terror to come. . . .

"Thursday marked the 151st birthday of the most successful revolutionary of all time, Vladimir Lenin. With only a tiny cabal of diehard followers, Lenin seized control of the world’s largest country and inaugurated a reign of darkness and terror that lasted seventy years.

"There are many lessons to draw from the blood-soaked life of Lenin. But one of the most important is this takeaway for the terrifying “woke” moment America is living through right now. Things are not going to naturally get better. Things will not organically “calm down.” Until there is a fundamental reset of America’s treasonous leadership class, today’s unthinkable witch hunt is merely a prelude of an even darker globalist terror to come.

"The Bolsheviks were indisputably more murderous than today’s left (if only because they lived in a more violent age), but even they had to ramp up how much terror they engaged in.

"At the beginning of their rule, in fact, the Bolsheviks were even willing to run a fair election. Just days after the October Revolution, they held the preplanned elections for Russia’s Constituent Assembly, anticipating an easy win. To their surprise, they were easily defeated by the Socialist Revolutionaries. And so, like any good leftists, they simply nullified the election and dissolved the Constituent Assembly. Since it was 100 years ago and the Bolsheviks were well-armed, it was enough to simply announce that the Constituent Assembly was closed. Today, they might concoct a more elaborate narrative, perhaps that the Socialist Revolutionaries engaged in “collusion” with a foreign power.

"Once they had taken power, the Bolsheviks didn’t immediately launch Stalin-style mass purges. Instead, the Bolsheviks started off in a way modern Americans would find disturbingly familiar: By legitimizing criminal anarchy and co-opting the justice system.

"In their earliest days, the Bolsheviks framed their political abuses as a “war on privilege.” In a tactic eerily reminiscent of 2020’s riots, the Bolsheviks of 1918 encouraged a decentralized campaign by the masses to plunder and crush class enemies." . . .

[R]obbers — and sometimes even murderers — of the rich were often given only a very light sentence, or even acquitted altogether, if they pleaded poverty as the cause of their crime. The looting of the looters had been legalized and, in the process, law as such abolished: there was only lawlessness. ...

...[Do not] look for evidence as proof that the accused has acted or spoken against the Soviets. First you must ask him to what class he belongs, what his social origin is, his education and profession. These are the questions that must determine the fate of the accused. That is the meaning of the Red Terror. [Alpha History]...

 “We must put an end once and for all to the papist-Quaker babble about the sanctity of human life,” said Trotsky, one of the chief apostles of the so-called “Red Terror.”

 

The Lost Boys of Television

The leaders in a show appear in court; the judge is a female minority, arrogant and dominating. In the ads, the male is clueless and uninformed, needing the woman to inform him of the product. Boys race against girls, being losers; a champion race car driver exits their car, removes helmet, and long flowing locks show the winner is a woman. Surprise! 

The American Spectator

Hollywoke executives wish to “detoxify” the boys who view their product. 

"Being unblessed by fatherhood (thus far), I have little idea of what boys today are watching on TV, the few not playing video games anyway. But in perusing the 2021 primetime network schedule, I found nothing I would want to watch were I under sixteen. The only constant I
could see is the dearth of male heroes, which suggests two possibilities. Hollywoke television executives either have no interest in having young males view their product, or they wish to “detoxify” those who do. Perhaps both conclusions are correct, and equally damning of our time.

"As a young kid, I came home from school every Friday eager for a full night of masculine TV bliss. It swept me and millions of other boys from the old West to espionage action to modern adventuring to strange new worlds with the coolest, cleverest, manliest men in all the universes.

"For four fun seasons, the night began with U.S. Secret Service agents James West (Robert Conrad) and Artemus Gordon (Ross Martin) saving the country from 19th Century villains in The Wild Wild West, often by Jim West punching the hell out of them. A pair of globetrotting super spies, Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) and Illya Kuryakin (David MacCallum), followed suit in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (U.N.C.L.E. being an acronym for the fictional — yet very real to us kids — United Network Command for Law and Enforcement). It says something about the progressive emasculation of our culture that the U.N.C.L.E. special — a pistol that converted into a telescopic rifle — received as much fan mail from young men as its two sex-symbol stars did from women. When U.N.C.L.E. moved to Monday night, it was replaced on Friday by the voyages of the starship Enterprise in Star Trek. The brilliant show’s three lead crewmen, Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and Doctor McCoy, became our male scouts to strange new worlds, new life, and new civilizations populated by gorgeous alien women.

"In the summer of 1969, the foolishly canceled Star Trek was succeeded by the famous Simon Templar, better known from 40 years of literature, cinema, and radio as The Saint. The ridiculously handsome Roger Moore (before he became a rather silly James Bond) played Templar just like author Leslie Charteris conceived him in 1928’s The Saint Meets the Tiger — a gallant, debonair, yet fight-ready English adventurer who uses extra-legal means to help victimized innocents while romancing beautiful women. The Saint novels remained popular into the ’60s, and George Sanders portrayed Templar in five fun pictures between 1939 and 1941. Val Kilmer starred as a ghastly, clueless reincarnation of the character in 1997’s atrocious The Saint. But Moore nailed the character on television for us boys, joining the pantheon of men we wanted to emulate." . . .

J'accuse! How Derek Chauvin became America's Dreyfus

If Dreyfus's real crime was being Jewish, Chauvin's was being white and a cop.  The fact that that three of the five officers on the scene that day were non-white did not matter to the mob now fully in control of the media and the Democratic Party. . . .

Jack Cashill   "How flimsy it is!" wrote Emile Zola in his public letter to French president Félix Faure.  "The fact that someone could have been convicted on this charge is the ultimate iniquity.  I defy decent men to read it without a stir of indignation in their hearts and a cry of revulsion, at the thought of the undeserved punishment being meted out."

"The year was 1898.  The man convicted of espionage was Alfred Dreyfus, a French Army General Staff officer who was then rotting away on Devil's Island to which he had been sentenced for life.  The evidence of Dreyfus's guilt mattered less to the French military establishment than did the need to feed the anti-Semitic mania then sweeping the country.

"Upon Derek Chauvin's conviction for the murder of George Floyd, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris unwittingly laid bare the equally racist mania sweeping America.

America's enemy: "wokeness"

 

Incompetence + Arrogance = Woke 

. . . Is there a connection between their wokeness and the general lack of interest in the NBA, Major League Baseball, NFL, and the Tokyo Olympics? Is the public sense not just that they do not wish to be talked down to by such privileged and spoiled 20- and 30-somethings, but also that the level of play of professional and amateur sports seems on the decline as well? Or is it that these woke, young athletes can handle sports or social hectoring, but not both—and it shows in their performances and in the lack of mass appeal? 

Hollywood is the worst offender. Almost daily a mega-star joins the outrage twitter chorus to remind us of her exemplary virtue or his singular outrage over “social injustice.” They belong to this strange collection of celebrity-obsessed multi-millionaires whose homes, lifestyles, modes of transportation, and fashion are Versailles-like—yet whose daily lives never quite match their sanctimonious barking." . . .  

We do not become "Karens"; we become "Joy Behars" .

A Guide to Wokespeak Notes on the ascendant Left’s new terminology.

"With the rise of the Left inevitable over the next two years, the public should become acquainted with the Left’s strange language of Wokespeak. Failure to do so could result in job termination and career cancellation. It is certainly a fluid tongue. Words often change their meanings as the political context demands. And what was yesterday’s orthodoxy is today’s heterodoxy. "So here is some of the vocabulary of the woke lexicon." . . .

Keep “Woke” Ideology Out of the Department of Defense  "Imagine this: The streets of Army bases or the decks of Navy ships are painted with large yellow letters saluting the

UK Guardian

controversial organization, “Black Lives Matter.”  At the Army/Navy game, players take a knee instead of saluting the flag.

"At all the military service academies, “woke” instructors are teaching mandatory “critical race theory” courses.   Non-minority midshipmen and cadets must confess their own “white privilege” and agree that all institutions are racist, and a person’s denial of racism proves they are racist. 

"Also imagine military officers accepting denials of promotions if they do not fit the desired diversity quotas.  To overcome this disadvantage, some promotable officers start book clubs for subordinates to study best sellers like White Fragility.

"Oh, wait – Navy Captain Hallock N. Mohler, Jr. already announced a book club for Second Fleet sailors' “voluntary” reading, naming White Fragility as its first selection." . . . 

How CBS and CNN went from reporting the news to distorting it

CNN's credibility collapse pushes viewership below one million for an entire week  "Not a single show on CNN could reach one million viewers in the past week, a decline that is both highly symbolic of its collapsing credibility and financially meaningful to advertising rates.  Its behavior this week suggests that the situation will only get worse."

How CBS and CNN went from reporting the news to distorting it

Yes, that means divas like Jim Acosta. A former top CNN exec (again, the name is withheld by the author) tells Attkisson, “If I were chairman of CNN, I would call [Acosta] and say, ‘Nobody elected you, and you’re not there to fight with the president of the United States.’ ” At the old CNN, Attkisson says, “a Jim Acosta would not have been possible.”

CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta makes himself the star instead
 of focusing on the news -- a far cry from the network's early "just the facts" ethos,
Sharyl Atkkisson claims

"When Sharyl Attkisson discusses media bias, she isn’t just sharpshooting from a distant perch. She’s a true insider, having worked at CNN in the early days, when it was all news instead of peacocking personalities and venting about politics. She went on to be a star correspondent and anchor for CBS News, from which she resigned in frustration six years ago. When she talks about what kinds of stories get on the air and why, she has specific, damning details. In her new book “Slanted: How the News Media Taught Us to Love Censorship and Hate Journalism” (Harper), out later this month, she brings the receipts.

"The book opens with a stunning array of examples of undisguised bias from her superiors and colleagues as she fought to get investigative stories on the air at CBS. Back in 1996, when media mogul Steve Forbes was running for president, the following assignment came down to her at the Washington bureau: “Do a story on why Steve Forbes’ flat tax won’t work.” Forbes was running for president on a revolutionary idea about simplifying federal income tax so that an entire family tax return would fit on the proverbial postcard. Attkisson wasn’t told, “Do a story on the pros and cons of this” or “Look into whether this would work.” She was handed a conclusion and told to pick whatever facts might lead to it." . . .  Full article here...

CNN's Most Embarrassing Moments

Biden Accuser Tara Reade Fires Back After Psaki Says Biden Sexual Misconduct Claims Were ‘Heavily Litigated’

The backstory to the Tara Reade episode

Political Insider   "Tara Reade, the woman who has accused President Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her back in the 1990s, has fired back after White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed that the sexual misconduct claims made against him have been “heavily litigated.”

Reade Fires Back At Psaki

“Ask Psaki: Did I miss the investigation and litigation?” Reade tweeted. “I sure did not miss the smears and attacks on my character during Joe Biden’s campaign as I came forward. Was it safe to come forward? I think not.”

"Reade told The New York Post that “what’s boneheaded is Psaki using legal term of art, ‘heavily litigated’ … that is going to haunt them.” She added that the case was never litigated at all, and that it upset her to hear Psaki say that Biden believes in “women being respected and having their voices heard and being allowed to tell their stories.”

“ 'That bulls–t Psaki said yesterday really got under my skin — when she said it’s safe for women to come forward… I’m a poster child for how that’s untrue,” Reade continued." . . .

TV Media Desperately Conceal Biden’s Gaffes from Viewers

 Newsbusters  "It’s no secret the left-wing media abruptly lose interest in covering presidential gaffes when Democrats take the White House. Well, they’re doing it again: over the past few months liberal cable and broadcast news networks have utterly ignored a slew of mistakes and fumbles by President Biden."

. . . "Last week brought yet another gaffe that these same channels ignored. While visiting a truck factory in Pennsylvania last Wednesday, Biden abruptly claimed: “I used to drive an 18-wheeler.” After some digging around, journalists concluded that no, no he didn’t. Once again, this received zero airtime from the aforementioned broadcast and cable outlets.

"A rare few of the President’s recent fumbles have caused enough of a stir to require airtime from his lackeys in TV news. In these instances, the strategy has generally been to lamely excuse his behavior.

"For example, when Biden claimed earlier this month that FaceBook was “killing people” by not doing more to combat COVID misinformation, CNN’s Jim Acosta hosted a bunch of former Democratic operatives to spin the event as a positive. “I thought it was terrific,” CNN commentator Paul Begala opined, adding, “It’s about time.' ” . . .

I think Carli Lloyd has spoken about why she doesn't want to kneel during the national anthem. But I'm curious if anyone has asked her why she chose not to take a knee for a minute before kickoff along with every other American player, staff member, and referee

"Who she should be questioning is the other women: Do they understand why they are kneeling and what it represents to many people? That’s what a reporter should be doing.

"Lloyd touched on the question of kneeling in the past.

"Here’s what she said in 2019 when she called such kneeling during the anthem a “distraction,” indicating that she thought this was the wrong platform for such things. “At the end of the day, I’m really proud to be an American,” Lloyd said. “I’m really proud to wear the red, white and blue. I’m proud to salute the flag.' ”
