Its the stupid economy!

 Faced with terrible economic news, Biden had a few things to say - American Thinker . . ."That's true for the "Remarks by President Biden on the Economy," which reminded us that the man in charge of America is a demented, weird buffoon.

"Biden acknowledged that he was addressing "the number-one challenge facing families today: inflation."  But first came the boasting.

"For example, Biden boasted that "8.3 million jobs [were created] in my first 15 months in office — a record."  Anyone who hasn't drunk the Kool-Aid knows that ending the lockdowns and allowing Americans to return to the jobs previously barred to them is not "job creation," and it had nothing to do with Biden.

"Biden's boast about the diminution in unemployment is also untrue.  Allowing Americans frozen out of work to start working again is nothing to boast about. ". . .

"Joe Biden began shouting out of blue (dementia) about food shortages caused by Democrat lockdowns during the Covid pandemic.

"Apparently Biden forgot there is also a food shortage happening under his administration.". . .

Why It’s Good That Americans Don’t Dominate Basketball

 The Atlantic

The U.S.’s most successful sporting export has achieved its greatest success.

"During the 1996 NBA All-Star Game, the commentators on the television broadcast began discussing the chances that Jason Kidd, then a second-year guard for the Dallas Mavericks, would make that year’s U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team.

"Kidd was a prodigious young talent, the commentators agreed, but his outside shooting remained a problem. “It might be the one thing that could keep him off,” Matt Guokas, one of the commentators and a former NBA head coach, said on the broadcast. Guokas’s broadcasting partner, Steve Jones, laughed. “They’re winning by 40-something points,” he said, referring to the typically lopsided victories of the “Dream Team,” “and we gotta worry about outside shooting?”

"So dominant was the U.S. men’s basketball team in the 1990s that player selection mattered little, strategy and tactics were irrelevant, and rule changes made no difference—the Americans would win anyway. More than that, winning alone was insufficient. They were expected to destroy their opponents.

"But in those destructions, the seeds had been planted, working with a confluence of other factors—the proliferation of the internet, more televised broadcasts globally, and the NBA sending its players around the world to increase their profile—to raise the standard of international play.

"And in the process, America’s most successful sporting export has achieved its greatest success: Americans are no longer the best at it. The U.S. has long cultivated the narrative that it is a place for immigrants, the best and the brightest, to create amazing things and generate extraordinary wealth, and that the example the country sets can inspire people the world over. The story is not entirely true, nor is it so simple. Yet it is a narrative the country seeks to promote nevertheless, and the standard by which I’m suggesting we judge the changes in basketball.". . .

Musk Explains How the Never-Ending Circle of ‘Left-Wing Bias’ Works At Twitter

 Analyzing America   "In an image shared on Twitter, billionaire Elon Musk shows how a never-ending circle of left-wing bias operates at Twitter.

"The company has been widely condemned by critics who say they unfairly censor and shadow-ban users, which prevents the platform from allowing for free speech. For example, according to a report from media outlet Quillette, 21 out of 22 high-profile bannings during a calendar year were all against “only on one side of the cultural debate.”

"In fact, Twitter chief legal officer and general counsel Vijaya Gadde has become known as the “chief censor” for her instrumental role in banning President Donald Trump and censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story, which possibly cost Trump the election. Gadde was reportedly paid $17 million by Twitter in 2021.

"Musk posted the following flowchart, which mocks a discussion between Gadde and conservative journalist Tim Pool on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Here’s how it works:

The strange evil that has possessed the Democrat Party

 There is Something Demonic Happening in the Democrat Party - Todd Starnes

   . . ."A few days ago I caused a bit of an uproar when I said on “Fox News at Night” that there was an evil in the Democratic Party. After what I saw on Tuesday night — I absolutely stand by those words. There is something demonic happening within the ranks of the Democrats.

"

2020: The Democrat Party is irredeemably evil (noqreport.com)  "In this election season, it has become very apparent that the Democrat Party is an instrument of wickedness and has no redeeming value. This is a bold statement, one that logically leads to the requirement that Matthew 18 ultimately be acted on just as it needs to be for those who are going woke. But the mantra here is “Theologically Sound. Culturally Relevant.” And it would be a dereliction to not address how evil one major party is.". . .

The perils of mobocracy - American Thinker  . . ."The overturning merely leaves that decision on abortion to individual states.

"This is how federalism works.  This is exactly what the Founding Fathers intended.  Hamilton, Madison, and Washington advocated for the federal system in order to balance order with liberty, prevent tyranny, and allow more participation in politics.  They knew that states passing laws according to their requirements were closer to the spirit of democracy than the capital passing federal laws that uniformly apply to citizens living in disparate conditions in various states.

"But the Democrats and their rabid activist base are not going to allow facts to interfere with their narrative. 

In response to the leak, there were "demonstrations" outside the Supreme Court.  Far-left groups such as Planned Parenthood, MoveOn, UltraViolet, and the Women's March led "protests" across the U.S.  Several other "protests" are planned in at least 200 additional cities, from Anchorage to Wilmington.  A virtual event is also scheduled.

"Pro-abortion radicals also "protested" outside the homes of the conservative Supreme Court justices.". . .

The View's Sunny Hostin Lets An Accidental Truth Slip Out During SCOTUS Protest Rant – RedState  . . ."With the thought in mind that Democrats and their rabid supporters are fomenting riots and possible insurrection after some 16 months of falsely accusing Republicans including former President Donald Trump of “inciting” an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, we turn to Monday’s “The View” program, where the hot topic of the day were the protests that were organized in front of the Justices homes.". . .

As I’ve said before, people could do this country a world of good by simply doing one thing: stop watching The View. Those ladies are poisonous to our nation’s discourse, adding nothing to it but more toxicity and stupidity — oftentimes of the dangerous variety — that it doesn’t need.

Robert Francis O’Rourke Cooks Dinner On Mother’s Day For Family With “Transgender Child”… | Weasel Zippers   Via WFAA:

TEXAS, USA — Mothers Day at the Briggles home is already a special occasion.

Amber normally gets to relax, while Adam, her husband, does all the cooking and cleaning. But Mother’s Day plans changed after a call they received a week and a half ago from Beto O’Rourke’s office.

O’Rourke said he wanted to cook dinner for the family on Sunday.

“It’s the one night it saved me from cooking so I’m pretty happy about it,” laughed Adam Briggle.

After 2000 Mules Premiere, True the Vote Promises to 'Pull the Ripcord' and Release ALL the Data

  RedState   "Dinesh D’Souza’s new film, “2000 Mules,” which, according to Politifact, “suggests a nefarious conspiracy in which so-called ‘mules’ submitted ballots en masse,” as part of a ballot harvesting operation in six swing states in numbers large enough to have determined the outcome in that state and, therefore, the nation, premiered Wednesday at Mar-a-Lago.". . .

. . ."The film’s findings are based a review of more than 4 million minutes of ballot drop box surveillance film obtained via public records requests and analysis of a large trove of cell phone geotracking data. True the Vote, a nonprofit organization focused on election integrity issues, obtained the data and retained an investigator, Gregg Phillips, to oversee the analysis. Likely knowing that the fact checkers were going to be out in force immediately to attack the credibility of the film and the data presented therein, Engelbrecht set up a plan to have investigator Phillips perform a massive data dump they’ve code-named “ripcord” so all of the information True the Vote has will be publicly accessible.

"Ahh, transparency. What’s not to love?

"Engelbrecht announced the plan in a video posted to the group’s Instagram page.". . .

A snake in President Trump's cabinet: Mark Esper tells all to 60 Minutes

All we see from this interview is a slithering snake whose main aim was to keep his job so he could continue to undercut President Trump.

 Monica Showalter  "When you think of everything that's gone wrong with the U.S. military — from its wokester agenda to its failure to contain Russia to its breakdown in discipline to the presence of Gen. Mark Milley on the Joint Chiefs of Staff — pretty much all of it has the name of Mark Esper, President Trump's former defense secretary, all over it.

"Rather than slink off into obscurity after such a performance, if not back to the big-bucks war-machine defense-contractor lobby whence he sprang, he's out shilling a tell-all book and promoting it on 60 Minutes in a bid to discredit the man he purportedly "served," President Trump.

"According to 60 Minutes interviewer Norah O'Donnell, he now calls Trump "a threat to American democracy."

"But his interview with 60 Minutes didn't come out the heroic way he probably thought it would.

"Unbeknownst to him, he demonstrated what a coward's coward and slithering snake he was while in office.  Everything he did involved some new means of undercutting President Trump, or, as O'Donnell summed up, "subverted many of the president's wishes.' " . . .

The Media Tears Down the Supreme Court

The Media Tears Down the Supreme Court - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  "Frantic over the possible end of abortion on demand across America, the media is devolving into throwing doubt onto the legitimacy of the high court, joining Democrats in crafting a narrative that the end of Roe v. Wade could only be engineered by a hijacking of American democracy.

"Chuck Todd of MSNBC, who usually projects himself as measured, said Sunday on Meet the Press that the Supreme Court has a “broken confirmation process, manipulated most recently by Mitch McConnell to manufacture this conservative majority.”

"Joe Scarborough, also of MSNBC, last Tuesday flatly called the draft opinion “an illegitimate ruling by an illegitimate court.”

"When co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Scarborough what the story of the leak meant for the Supreme Court, he responded: “Well, for the Supreme Court, in a word, illegitimacy. You know, the court’s always been guided by the law, but it’s also been keenly aware that it’s the only unelected branch of American government. They needed to not appear to be only contemptuous of public opinion. That would be especially true today, given the GOP’s ‘might makes right’ approach to the sacking of Merrick Garland’s nomination, or the elevation of Donald Trump’s final pick.”

"Scarborough pointed to a picture from former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s funeral that showed President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton, former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and former presidential candidate Al Gore sitting in the front row. 

" 'The five Democratic politicians on the front row won the most votes in the presidential elections of 1992, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. And yet, a half-century of constitutional rights supported by over 70 percent of Americans … will be swept away by the presidents not in this picture and the presidents who were outvoted in each one of those elections over the last three decades.' ”. . .

Mother’s Day 2022: The Real Reproductive Rights Battle Isn’t Abortion, It’s to Have and Raise Children

 Mother's Day 2022: The Real Reproductive Rights Battle Isn't Abortion, It's to Have and Raise Children (breitbart.com)

   "By “reproductive rights,” Guterres meant abortion – the “right” to kill a child (Tedros openly discussed only abortion). The two were responding to the illegal leak of a draft Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v Wade, which concluded in 1972 – before ultrasound technology and non-invasive prenatal testing was the order of the day in America – that a woman’s right to “privacy” was a constitutional guarantee that prevented states from stopping her from killing her child. The new decision, which Supreme Court Justice John Roberts confirmed is not final, would leave abortion laws to the states, not outlaw abortion, as leftists have disingenuously argued (never mind ban interracial marriage or outlaw homosexuality, as they have somehow concluded).". . .

. . ."Women around the world have to fight everything from mosquitos to Amazon human resources to fulfill the dream of motherhood. Societies of all economic statuses are actively hostile towards mothers and children. And for the few who do give birth, few things are more diverse than the number of ways the world tries to strip mothers of the power to raise their children.

"Naturally, disease and lack of access to pre- and postnatal care are the biggest threats to motherhood in underdeveloped countries. Mosquito-borne diseases like malaria and Zika virus (which causes cerebral deformations in unborn children) are paramount threats. Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and remote parts of Latin America – often tropical climates where mosquitos thrive – consistently document the lowest rates of access to prenatal care.". . .
