Knucklehead Of The Week: Chuck Schumer Is Hellbent On Destroying The Democratic Party

The Blue State Conservative  Winner: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer forces Democrats to go on the record and vote on a bill to allow abortion up until the moment of birth.   "A week ago, Democrats were hyping the notion that the Dobbs V Jackson case, if the Supreme Court’s ruling goes ahead as it appears it will, would be a windfall for Democrats. It could be the difference between them retaining or ceding power in Congress. But that was never the case. The midterm elections in November will be decided by a lot of things, but abortion and the overturning of Roe V Wade won’t be among them.

"The economy will be at the top of the list of voters’ priorities in the fall. Folks who have watched their 401K accounts evaporate and who are getting clobbered by inflation will be voting with their pocketbooks. Many voters will consider the immigration crisis at the southern border when casting their votes, as well as the instability in Eastern Europe and President Joe Biden’s incoherent foreign policy.

"For most voters, abortion is not their top issue, regardless of if they consider themselves Pro-Life or Pro-Abortion. And for those who do consider it their top priority, what happens in the Supreme Court in the coming days is not going to change how they vote, one way or the other.

"There are too many other problems in our country right now for voters to overlook the utter disaster that the Biden Administration has become just because they may disagree with the Supreme Court. And while we’re all going to have to wait another two years before we can vote Sleep Joe out of power, we can give his cronies in Congress the boot when we vote in less than six months.

"But make no mistake, abortion is still a hot-button issue. ". . .

Champagne socialist! Bernie Sanders is snapped flying FIRST CLASS to make speech about working class on campaign trail for woke Pennsylvania rep. who wants to abolish prisons

Bernie Sanders spotted flying first class to Pittsburgh to support socialist Summer Lee | Daily Mail Online   "Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was snapped ditching his socialist principals to fly first class to campaign for a woke Democrat state representative candidate.  

"Sanders was spotted on an American Airlines flight to Pittsburgh Friday to stump for State Representative Summer Lee, running for an open seat in Pennsylvania's 18th District. 

"Sanders, wearing a mask, appears to head for the front of the plane in the photos obtained by Fox News from a fellow first class traveler.

"He was also snapped by an excited Twitter user in the same row, although its unclear if Sanders availed himself of the free booze and food offered to first class fliers. 

"Lee has the endorsement of Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and 'squad' progressives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman and Ayanna Pressley, as well as Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal. 

"She defeated an incumbent Democrat in 2018 with the endorsement of her local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America and is the first black woman to represent southwestern Pennsylvania in the state legislature.". . .

Lee endorses far left policies like the Green New Deal, abolishing prisons , reversing the Hyde Amendment to allow for government-funded abortions and Sanders' signature Medicare For All government-run health care system

White House extremism is bringing more migrant caravans to our border -

Joe Biden has spent his presidency thus far dismantling commonsense border protections, and ending the Title 42 order will be the culmination of that effort.  The incoming Guatemalan caravan will be one of many to arrive at our doorstep as we lose operational control of our borders. 

 American Thinker   "As the Biden administration prepares to end the Trump-era public health order under Title 42, a new caravan is moving north to take advantage of the open border their incompetence creates.

"A mass of foreign nationals coming from Guatemala is expected to reach the U.S. by the time the Title 42 order is terminated, which is scheduled to happen May 23.  Title 42 of the United States Code is the section of federal law that addresses public health, social welfare, and civil rights.

"National Border Patrol Council president Brandon Judd told Fox News that it's possible the larger caravan will be broken up into smaller caravans at the behest of organized crime and drug cartels.

" 'Organized crime or the cartels have them break up prior to arriving at our border due to the optics," Judd said.  "I can't say whether this will happen with this particular caravan, but that has been the trend."

"This is the latest warning about the consequences that are likely to develop as the Biden White House goes forward with its plan to dismantle the last vestiges of sane border policy that remain.". . .

MSNBC guests and their macabre obsession with abortion -

You know what else would really be something? A commitment to real journalism from our corrupt corporate media.

  American Thinker   "Just in the past few days, news outlet MSNBC hosted two separate women, both of whom addressed the hot-button topic of abortion.  Although such a controversial and emotionally charged subject ought to be approached with diplomacy and discretion, these women were visibly thrilled as they considered the murder of helpless babies.  After what we've been through with American Democrats, it shouldn't be surprising — yet it is.

"Laurie Kilmartin, a "comedian" known for her appearance on a popular television show, vocalized her fantasy about procreating with the SCOTUS leaker and then happily killing the child if the leaker turned out to be a conservative.". . .

 "As Kilmartin relayed her sadistic wishful thinking, the other correspondents present nodded along to her rant — they even laughed.  Not a single person on the panel castigated her for joyfully envisioning the creation of a precious child for the purpose of slaughter.

"Next up is Katie Porter, a Democrat congresswoman from California, gleefully discussing the wake of destruction left by the Biden tornado — hyper-inflation — because she knows in just a moment, she gets to discuss one of her favorite topics: the gruesome mutilation of the unborn (verbally sanitized as "abortion")."

WaPo Demands Video Game Industry Support Abortion Or Get Bad Press (thefederalist.com)

“Conspicuously quiet” on abortion is an interesting way for journalists to characterize video game companies, which have absolutely nothing to do with sex, pregnancy, or in utero homicide. But it’s an especially interesting characterization coming from Liao at The Washington Post.

There Will Be Blood

Rest assured, protest signs are being printed and plans for large-scale riots are underway. The Progressives are akin to spoiled children – if they don’t get their way, a temper-tantrum is inevitable. While I hope that I am wrong; I fear what is to come. A people who would advocate for the killing of unborn children will have few qualms about harming adults that think differently.

 There Will Be Blood - American Thinker  "Progressive activists have long fallen on the tactic of resorting to violence, destruction, and even bloodshed to get their points across. With the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on abortion, I feel assured they will once more pull this oft-used tool from their belt, and once again resort to carnage and mayhem. Already, they vandalized several Catholic churches last weekend, and firebombed a Right to Life group’s headquarters. A bullet was fired into the office of the Virginia Attorney General this week as well. Violence is already here. These were all pre-game activities as they warm up for what is to come.

"In reality however, members of the far Left have consistently resorted to violence and sanctioned attacks against civilians. Many of the Vietnam protests turned into riots. Domestic terrorists belonging to the Weather Underground bombed school buildings, the U.S. Capitol, and the Pentagon. The SLA robbed banks, set off bombs and murdered innocent people.

"In recent years, staff of the Trump Administration, such as Sarah Huckabee Sanders, faced confrontational harassment and were asked to leave businesses – actions fully supported by politicians such as Maxine Waters. Mad Maxine encouraged her followers to publicly accost Trump officials. Ten years earlier, such a statement by a politician would earn a well-deserved censure in the House. Now, it is accepted and even supported with nary an uproar. Let’s not forget that in June of 2017, a Bernie Sanders supporter shot and wounded Representative Steve Scalise during a baseball game. Encouraging acts of aggression gets you one thing – more aggression.

"The characterization of the riots of 2020 as “mostly peaceful protests” by the mainstream media and Democrat leadership simply reinforces their willingness to cross the line into outright violence to make their point. The media love the violence because violence equals ratings and clicks on the web. They will highlight the carnage that is to come and make sure we all see it on the nightly news. They will paint the domestic terrorists as patriots. They, like the Democrat leadership, see the violence as the justified ‘means to an end’ of their social agenda.". . .

The Roe Demonstrators: Where Did They Get That Idea? - American Thinker

Every kid on the playgrounds I grew up on knew that if you showed fear before bullies, they’d be stealing your lunch money next. Roberts' inexplicable kowtow on ObamaCare in my view only encouraged more of these bullying tactics today.

Kamala Harris Is Breaking a Whole Lot of Ties

 Vice President Kamala Harris Is a Pace-Setter for Tiebreaking Senate Votes - Bloomberg

It’s been almost two centuries since a vice president has cast so many decisive votes on Capitol Hill, and her pace reveals a lot about how a 50-50 Senate actually works.

"Vice President Kamala Harris voted six times to break Senate ties this week. That brings her total to 23 ties broken, a record pace. She’s already third all-time, behind only John C. Calhoun (31 from 1825-1832) and John Adams (29 from 1789-1797).

"What she’s voted on tells an important story about the Senate. None of it has been regular legislation. It’s all on measures regarding the budget or other fiscal matters falling under the rubric of reconciliation, and then on nominations and procedural votes on nominations. Contrast that to George H.W. Bush when he was vice president in the 1980s: Six of his seven tiebreaking Senate votes were on amendments to bills or motions relating to amendments.". . .

. . .On the other hand, ties on nomination votes are now far more frequent. Nominations draw far more partisan opposition now than they used to, and after the Democratic majority changed Senate procedures in October 2013 to end filibusters for most nominations, 50 votes plus the vice-president’s has been all it takes to move a nomination forward.

The second point here is about RINOs — those relatively moderate conservatives accused by critics of being Republicans in Name Only — and their moderately liberal Democratic cousins. The point? They basically don’t exist. That’s why there are so many tie votes in the present Congress. With 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, there are going to be a lot of 50-50 votes, with all the Democrats lining up against all the Republicans.". . .

Goodbye Jen Psaki — no one condescends quite like you

 Goodbye Jen Psaki — no one condescends quite like you (nypost.com)

White House flacks don’t usually keep working for the administration even after they’ve accepted a job offer from a partisan news outlet, but Psaki did that.

"So long Jen Psaki! As White House press secretary, you were indeed very informative: every day you provided an example of how today’s Democratic Party turns normie soccer moms from Greenwich into reality-denying attack machines sputtering insults and cheering on lawbreakers because they can’t face up to the unpopularity of the far-left agenda.

"As blathering Joe Biden retreated into the background and suggested to the world that America was in the hands of a man who should be shuffling around Sunset Acres in a bathrobe, Psaki became the face of an administration that is determined to head into the midterms like Thelma and Louise. “We’ll show those bastards! Let’s drive off a cliff!” is the animating principle of the Democratic Party. Do polls say that American voters think the Democrats are doing everything wrong? Then “Pedal to the metal, Louise!”

"Ordinarily, White House press secretaries try not to look like they’re getting so rattled by rude questions that they stoop to insulting the reporters, but Psaki said Fox News’s Peter Doocy sounds like a “stupid son of a bitch” in the course of throwing in an absurd and evidence-free suggestion that Doocy is a ventriloquist’s dummy for higher-ups.". . .

. . ."Nor do they generally cheerlead for criminals, but even though Psaki is smart enough to know that intimidating judges by mobbing their houses is illegal, when asked whether her fellow Democrats should continue menacing the homes of Supreme Court justices, her answer was a green light: “There’s a lot of passion, there’s a lot of fear.' ”

Black Prosecutor Brings No Charges Against Cop Who Killed Amir Locke, Doesn’t Get Called White Supremacist

 The Federalist

‘Another innocent black victim’ killed by police but nothing from the media? Maybe it’s because the prosecutor who let the cop off is black.

"The name Amir Locke probably sounds only vaguely familiar at the moment, but rest assured that it is now one more piece of the Black Lives Matter movement’s great white supremacy myth. With, of course, a helpful assist from the ready-to-lie national media.

"Recall Locke as the 22-year-old black man shot dead earlier this year by police during a no-knock warrant raid in Minneapolis. The incident naturally sparked city-wide riots and outrage from leftist journalists eager to pour more kerosine on our race bonfires.". . .

. . ."That’s right. The officer who shot Locke dead is no legal jeopardy. He is under no threat of time in prison.

Really? Yet “another innocent black victim” killed by police but nothing from the media? Why might that be? I know! Maybe because the prosecutor who made that decision, Keith Ellison, is black!

"Ellison released his decision on April 6, stating that his office would be unable to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt a criminal charge against any … officer involved in the decision-making that led to the death of Amir Locke.”

"With specific regard to Hanneman, Ellison said, “Under current law – and as awful as the circumstances of this tragedy are – there is not sufficient admissible evidence to support a criminal charge.”

"The law in Minnesota provides that a police officer is justified in using deadly force against a target should he reasonably perceive in the moment, without the benefit of hindsight, that “such force was necessary to protect the peace officer or another from death or great bodily harm.”

POTATUS Speaks, A Nation Groans

POTATUS Speaks, A Nation Groans - Flopping Aces  . . ."First was his hyperbolic bromide against MAGA/revivalist conservatism. The president, showing off his status as a thoroughgoing nincompoop, thought it would be a good idea to verbally assault some 75 million Americans by predicting that since “this MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history,” that red-state legislatures will pass laws segregating gay and “trans” kids from their classmates in schools.

 
"No, Joe. Maybe just the bathrooms, though — there seem to be fewer rapes that way.
 
"That was the shot. The chaser was a day later, when after several Supreme Court justices were set upon by angry mobs protesting at their residences and a speaking engagement scheduled for Associate Justice Samuel Alito, the author of the draft majority opinion in the Dobbs case, had to be canceled due to violent threats, the administration refused to condemn the behavior of the pro-abortion extremists.
 
"No, seriously. Just after calling the MAGA crowd the most extreme group we’ve ever had, more so than the anarcho-communists who shot multiple presidents, the KKK, the Weather Underground, the Heaven’s Gate nuts, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the Black Panthers, the Black Hebrew Israelite kooks and the Jim Jones/People’s Temple kool-aid drinkers, Team Biden all but endorsed political violence on members of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Biden Says He Inherited Economy “On The Brink Of A Great Depression”…

No sign the court is changing course in the midst of the intimidation tactics of the anti-liberty left.

 Leftist intimidation tactics are backfiring, endangering Supreme court justices. - American Thinker  . . ."Please understand, that we are in no way calling for any change in how this case is to be treated. We’re merely pointing out the extreme danger of the anti-liberty leftists, who are the real insurrectionists and domestic terrorists. After all, these are people who have an overly inflated view of themselves and their alleged virtue who think they are beyond the law because they are ‘saving the planet’ or something.

Biden DOJ Fails to Enforce Federal Law Against Protesting Outside the Homes of SCOTUS Justices – RedState   "Shame on us, my fellow law-abiding Americans.

So on it goes, with neither Psaki nor Biden willing to condemn the illegal protests. Toss in Biden’s lackey attorney general, Merrick Garland for the trifecta. Speaking of Garland — the weaselly guy who conservatives can continue to count their lucky stars never became a SCOTUS justice — where the hell has he been? Other than crickets?
