If the Senate ever returns to the old-fashioned Senate filibuster, McCarthy will be the indispensable man

Watch for CNN and MSNBC to call it a "rant"

Power Line  "The slight Democratic majority in the House of Representatives was poised to pass the current iteration of the Bummer Beyond Belief spending blowout last night when House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy took the floor at 8:38 p.m. (Eastern). McCarthy turned in the longest speech in House history — 8 hours and 32 minutes — to delay the vote until a few minutes after 5:00 a.m. this morning. He has just wound it up.

"Congratulations are in order, and not just because McCarthy set the House record in a good cause. You can feel the heartburn in the New York Times story posted at 5:32 a.m. (Eastern) about McCarthy’s performance. You can feel the heartburn in the AP story with the headline deriding McCathy’s speech as a “rant.” Anything that makes mainstream media political reporters feel so bad must be good.

"If the Senate ever returns to the old-fashioned Senate filibuster, McCarthy will be the indispensable man. He rightly cited “Mr. Smith” in the course of his remarks. McCarthy even looks a little like Jimmy Stewart. That must cause heartburn among the bien-pensants as well.

"How was McCarthy able to speak at such length under House rules and the heavy hand of the Speaker of the House, a/k/a she who must be obeyed? The Times story offers this brief explanation:" . . .Read more on this...

Bill-signing incident shows that 'Creepy Joe' is more than just a mean tweet

Biden does what he does because he always gets away with it. Trump got gentlemanly because he understood his presidential legacy was on the line.

Monica Showalter  "With so many other crises and failures emanating from the Joe Biden White House, here's something just a little creepy and disgusting from Joe that didn't get the attention it deserved:

. . ." How does one explain this kind of disgusting behavior from Joe? He's been called out repeatedly for it in the past -- handsiness, grabbiness, paws on unwilling women and kids, and if he had any sense, he'd stop it even with his record of doing this stuff in the past. President Trump, who engaged in some boorish and uncouth behavior around women in his pre-presidential days, never brought his past persona into the White House, not ever. In person, Trump was always a perfect gentleman." . . .

Unlike JFK and Bill Clinton, to name just two.

MSNBC Producer Quits, Pens Letter Calling Network A ‘Cancer’ That Stokes ‘Racial Division’

Staff at MSNBC are panicking over network’s direction under Rashida Jones

. . ."Most alarming to some, Jones appears to be re-examining the mission of MSNBC, signaling she wants to battle CNN on breaking news rather than focus on its “personality-driven, opinion programming with big stars,” a source said." . . .

"Personalities? Such as the below-mentioned Joy Reid? And Ali "Not, generally speaking, unruly." Velshi

MSNBC Producer Quits, Pens Letter Calling Network A ‘Cancer’ That Stokes ‘Racial Division’ 
 A former MSNBC producer wrote an open letter on Monday explaining why she left the far-left network a little over a week ago, saying that they are a “cancer” that is “stoking national division” by amplifying “fringe voices” and forcing “journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.”

 MSNBC Racist Joy Reid Whines About ‘Male White Tears’ Of Rittenhouse And Kavanaugh

"Some people just don’t belong on television." 

MSNBC Host Makes Unbelievably Racist Comment While Accusing Republicans of Being Racist-   "MSNBC is at it again, perpetuating fake outrage and infecting the world with liberal propaganda. It’s amazing liberals are so entranced by such a dangerous network that is happy to infect the population with bogus ideologies. 

"What’s worse is they pretend like what they’re saying doesn’t cause irreparable harm to the nation because you see the same issues MSNBC (and CNN for that matter) anchors toxically debate regurgitated on all social platforms. What’s worse is that some of them spread what they heard on MSNBC or CNN and self-righteously pawn if off as if they thought of it first. We all see it though." . . .

MSNBC host slams truckers; too white, MAGA, and old – over 55, ‘aggressive’ on the road  "An MSNBC host seems to be playing the race car in the process of generalizing about “unwelcoming’ and “aggressive” commercial truck drivers who are supposedly too white, male, and MAGA. Ageism may also be in play.

"Tiffany Cross, who noted that her brother is a truck driver and that she is concerned for his safety, began the segment on the “The Cross Connection” show by pointing out that a shortage of thousands of long-haul operators is exacerbating the supply chain crisis.

"She then steered the conversation in a different direction when she claimed that after speaking to a number of drivers in preparation for the interview, “they talked about, you know, hearing some of the racism over the CB [radio].' ”. . . 

Perhaps they were listening to MSNBC.. Maybe those weren't truckers spouting racism but MSNBC anchors..

MSNBC Slammed Over ‘Disgusting Racist Rant’ Attacking Black Republican: ‘Unbelievably Insidious’


"MSNBC host Joy Reid and frequent guest Michael Eric Dyson faced backlash online late on Thursday evening after a video clip went viral from Reid’s show that was widely panned as blatantly racist." . . .

. . ."Some of the most notable responses to Dyson’s remarks included:

  • Colin Wright, evolutionary biologist: “This is one of the more disgusting racist rants I’ve heard in a while. The ideology producing this is unbelievably insidious. I just can’t fathom how so many self-proclaimed “anti-racists” are unable to see this rant as the epitome of what they claim to be against.”
  • Becket Adams, commentator: “It’s a scandal of its own that not a single on-air personality at MSNBC has the balls even to suggest this stuff may be out of line.”


MSNBC’s Joy Reid stirs up anger over Gabby Petito case, says public only cares because of ‘missing white woman syndrome’

“Just say you hate white women already,” conservative reporter Cassandra Fairbanks tweeted. “The people who spammed us with wall to wall George Floyd are seriously angry that people care about a murdered woman.”

Bill Maher Went on CNN and Triggered the Entire Audience Last Night

 Townhall  "Bill Maher is just asking to be canceled, but he doesn't care. This isn't the first time he's duked it out with people of the "woke" mindset. He has slapped down guests who have been apologists for radical Islam. He's pro-free speech. He's not a political correctness junkie either. He's still a classical liberal, just not insane. It's quite an evolutionary tale. In less than a generation, the Democratic base has become so insane that Bill Maher looks conservative. There are others like him. Data scientist David Shor, a self-described progressive, knows that some of his own views simply do not sit well with most voters. He has warned Democrats for months about how they need to expand their messaging strategies beyond the professional elites that dominate the party brass nowadays."

Bill Maher Blasts MSNBC For Calling Youngkin’s Virginia Victory ‘White Ignorance’  On Friday, HBO’s Bill Maher slammed left-wing criticism of Republican Glenn Youngkin’s recent gubernatorial race victory over Terry McAuliffe in Virginia, saying that progressives are contradicting traditional liberal beliefs and endorsing the idea of “resegregation,” a belief that “you’re either a racist or you don’t know you’re a racist.”

"Maher made his comments on his program “Real Time” on Friday evening." . . .

"Bill Maher: ‘I’m an old-school liberal. I believe in a colorblind society. That’s not where woke is, okay’

"Later Maher focused on how the contemporary left is betraying liberal principles by viewing everything through a racial lens, including the recent Virginia gubernatorial election. 

"Maher said, “After the governor of Virginia — the new governor won, MSNBC headline was, ‘Glenn Youngkin’s Victory Proves White Ignorance is a Powerful Weapon.”

"“I don’t think that helps,” Maher said. “I don’t think some of this — I’m an old-school liberal. I believe in a colorblind society. That’s not where woke is, okay.”

" 'There’s a lot of resegregation going on,” Bill Maher claimed. “There’s a lot of you’re either a racist or you don’t know you’re a racist.' ”

Anti-Trump ‘Lincoln Project’ Advisor Calls Critical Race Theory ‘New N-Word For Republicans’

Political Insider  "A senior adviser for the Lincoln Project recently said that critical race theory was now the “new n-word” for Republicans.

"The advisor, Tara Setmayer, made the comments on “The View.”  . . .

. . ."The View’ Goes Off The Rails

“So Democrats are very bad at arguing and Republicans are very good at fueling and manufacturing outrage,” explained Setmayer, discussing the GOP’s criticism of CRT.

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in, “So it’s the new southern strategy.” 

“Absolutely!” Setmayer replied.

“So it’s all based on race,” Hostin asked." . . .


Joy Reid and White Male Tears  "MSNBC host Joy Reid is the only minority host on her network from noon to midnight, so it's only natural she would be most expected to lecture on the evils of whiteness, especially white maleness. It can even happen on her social media accounts." . . .

. . ."Reid's rant continued: "But in America, there's a thing about both white vigilantism and white tears, particularly male white tears. Really, white tears in general because that's what Karens are, right? They Karen-out, and as soon as they get caught, they bring waterworks. White men can get away with that, too, and it has the same effect.". . . 

For her part, Reid is best remembered for exclaiming how Clinton was just about

the most qualified contender ever in 2016: "My God, since the Founding Fathers, has anyone tried to run for president with more on their resume?"

Pelosi Reportedly Seen Maskless At Swingers Bar With Rep. Yvette Clarke, Breaking Mask Mandate

Daily Caller


. . ."The reason they call it Swingers is because, in addition to fancy cocktails and high-end street food, they have an adults-only mini-golf course or “crazy golf club,” as they call themselves. On the course, you are encouraged to drink, so Pelosi should fit right in.

"Pelosi was at the bar with her arm around Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), neither were wearing masks despite the city mandate to wear masks indoors in public businesses like bars and restaurants that is still in effect in Washington, D.C., and despite Pelosi’s constant promotion of mask-wearing." . . .


Political Insider mentions the DC article:  "Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Democratic New York Rep. Yvette Clarke were reportedly seen Tuesday night at a Washington D.C. bar violating the district’s mask mandate, a video obtained by the Daily Caller shows.

"In the video, both Pelosi and Clarke can be seen speaking to a small group inside the “crazy golf club” at Swingers in Dupont Circle. Others in the crowd can be seen not wearing a mask either. Pelosi appears to have her arm around Clarke, who is smiling without a mask. Democratic D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Monday that the indoor mask mandate will be lifted on Nov. 22. (RELATED: Mayor Bowser Appears To Violate Her Own Mask Mandate Again)

"The CDC released guidelines May 13 that said masks are no longer required to be worn inside by fully vaccinated people in “most” situations. The CDC has since changed the guidance to require masks be worn inside, referencing the delta variant. (RELATED: Democratic Congresswoman Denies ‘Intentionally’ Liking Tweet Comparing Daily Caller Reporter To Nazi Informant)

"The current D.C. mask mandate states masks must be worn inside “any business or establishment open to members of the public . . ."

Biden Moves to Destroy Religious-Based Childcare

PJ Media 


  "To hear the Biden administration talk about it, there’s something for literally everybody in the 2,000-plus pages of the $1.8 trillion Build Back Better spending packages. After all, you’ll get tax breaks if you want to buy an electric bike, and there will be federal money available to you if you work as a doula, as my PJ Media colleague Rick Moran pointed out recently.

"But there’s one group that won’t benefit from the largesse that Build Back Better offers if the bill passes as-is: child care facilities affiliated with religious institutions.

"The New York Times is reporting that lobbyists are trying to talk Congress into stripping a provision from Build Back Better that would prevent religious preschools and child care centers from receiving their share of the gargantuan funds." . . .

. . ."According to the Bipartisan Policy Center, about 53% of families with children in preschool or daycare enroll their kids in religious-affiliated facilities, so you can see the problem here: for all that the Biden administration and congressional Democrats have promised to families of kids in childcare, over half won’t benefit one bit." . . .

. . ."The left has made the LGBTQ agenda a sacred cow, and as a result, they’ve doubled down on promoting it through culture, higher education, and K-12 schools. Now they want to use the power and purse strings of the federal government to ensure that they can push their sexual agenda to American preschoolers.

"If First Amendment protected religious liberty gets in the way of that agenda, they will restrict it. This is one of many reasons why Build Back Better must be stopped."

Drag Queen Story Hour Engages Kids With Reading, Gender Creativity


. . ."According to its website, Drag Queen Story Hour is "just what it sounds like -- drag queens reading stories to children in libraries, schools and bookstores." The program started in San Francisco and has spread to cities across the United States.

"Miriam Meadow first heard about Drag Queen Story Hour when it was held at the San Francisco Public Library two years ago. She immediately knew she wanted to bring it to the East Bay. Meadow is the children’s librarian at the Dimond Branch Library." . . .

Teen suspended for saying there are two genders   "Abraham Lincoln is said to have told a joke about how many legs a dog has if you call a tail a leg.  Lincoln said the dog has four legs because calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.  This simple bit of wisdom has been abrogated in our modern times.  Men calling themselves women are considered women.  Women calling themselves men are considered men.

"Bruce Jenner calls himself Caitlyn now and has collected a Woman of the Year award.  A boy who grew out his hair and called himself a girl was allowed to compete as a girl and blew away the competition in state championship races in Connecticut.  The CDC says "pregnant people, not "pregnant women."  There's an awful lot of people trying to prove that if you call a tail a leg long enough and loud enough, it really will become a leg." . . .

Rittenhouse VERDICT WATCH Day 3: Jury Focusing In On Controversial Drone Video, Provocation Issue

We Warned Dems About Kamala

Democratic leaders should have paid more attention to the volumes of evidence that Kamala Harris isn’t even up to the empty role of vice president.

Tony Branco

The American Spectator   "In terms of an understatedly savage insult, it’s hard to top the president’s press secretary, Jen Psaki, for her Twitter rebuttal after reporters have noted the strained relationship between the White House and the Office of the Vice President.

"“For anyone who needs to hear it. @VP is not only a vital partner to @POTUS but a bold leader who has taken on key, important challenges facing the country – from voting rights to addressing root causes of migration to expanding broadband,” she tweeted.

"My wife doesn’t closely follow politics, so she couldn’t understand why I was laughing so hard. “It’s the equivalent,” I said, “of me defending your attributes as a wife by noting that you’re a vital partner in our family — and have taken on challenges such as paying the cable bill, addressing the root causes of our unkempt flower garden, and changing the cat litter.”

"Some commentators would have us believe that Kamala Harris’ political problems aren’t about her, but about the nature of the position she holds. “The vice presidency of the United States is a terrible job,” wrote the usually sensible Joel Mathis in the Week. “It always has been. And right now, that terrible job belongs to Kamala Harris. It’s turning out about how you’d expect.”

"Mathis is partially correct. The Harris vice presidency is turning out largely as this writer had expected, but not because of any inherent problem serving as president-in-waiting. Harris was a terrible San Francisco district attorney, a terrible California attorney general, and a terrible U.S. senator. Perhaps that better explains why she’s a terrible vice president?". . .

Rittenhouse doesn't have to prove he acted in self-defense

There is already significant concern that women who defend themselves from domestic violence attacks struggle to get juries and judges to believe their defensive-force claims

JWR  "No one disputes that Kyle Rittenhouse, now 18 years old, shot three men and killed two of them during turbulent protests in Kenosha, Wis., that broke out after the shooting of a Black man by White police officers.

"And it is well known that the central issue of his trial is whether Rittenhouse has a valid self-defense claim for the three shootings. Less familiar to the public, however, is that, by and large, the outcome of Rittenhouse's case will turn less on the specific murky facts concerning what exactly transpired on the night of Aug. 25 than on the seemingly technical but actually essential issue of the burden of proof: Does Rittenhouse have to prove he was acting in justifiable self-defense, or does the state have to disprove it?

"In Wisconsin, the state bears that burden: The prosecution must disprove at least one legal element of Rittenhouse's self-defense claim, and do so beyond a reasonable doubt. Now, to be clear, that doesn't mean that Rittenhouse could just pronounce "I did it in self-defense!" and sit down. Rittenhouse bore the "burden of production" - one of the components of burden of proof.

"That means he had to present facts which, if proved, could be found by a jury to constitute valid defensive force. But the Wisconsin state Supreme Court has made it clear that this burden is a fairly low (if meaningful) bar. The narrative that Rittenhouse laid out cleared it; it then fell to the prosecution to disprove at least some part of it. The prosecution may yet prevail in its attempt to disprove beyond a reasonable doubt that self-defense was justified; that's now up to the jury. But many legal experts have described such an outcome as a long shot." . . .
