Psaki Busted At College Event

Let’s see how Psaki fares at her new yet-to-be-titled MSNBC gig.

  WATCH: Psaki Busted At College Event (trendingpolitics.com)  "Joe Biden’s former Press Secretary Jen “Peppermint” Psaki should expect to receive a new moniker after an appearance at a Chicago college where she was confronted by a student journalist over previous comments she had made about protests outside the homes of SCOTUS justices, which she initially denied having made.

"Psaki appeared at a think tank symposium at the University of Chicago’s Institue of Politics, where she talked about her time as Sleepy Joe’s press secretary and her thoughts on how things stand in the mainstream media. After responding to the moderator’s series of prepared questions, Psaki took questions from the audience.

"But little did she know not all of the audience members would fawn over the redhead.

"Daniel Schmidt, journalist and senior editor at the University’s independent newspaper “Chicago Thinker,” stepped up to the microphone and questioned Psaki over her comments earlier this month encouraging pro-abortionists to continue protesting outside of the homes of conservative Supreme Court Justices in the wake of the Roe v. Wade draft opinion leak. “We certainly continue to encourage that [what she called “peaceful protests”] outside of judges’ homes.”

"Schmidt asked Psaki if she regretted making the comment, whereby Psaki saw red, initially denying she had said exactly what she said and even attempted to turn the tables and accused the college journalist of lying:

Schmidt then held up his phone and said he was quoting her. Psaki then tried to insinuate that because he left the word “peaceful” out of his question that he was lying about what she said. Schmidt correctly pointed out that “peaceful” or not, she and the rest of the Biden White House advocated for unlawful protests outside of the Justices’ homes.

Impeach Hillary Clinton In 2023

 Impeach Hillary Clinton In 2023 – Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

"When it looked as if Democrats last year were going to try to impeach the already-impeached Donald Trump again after he left the White House, the Congressional Research Service said: “​​It appears that most scholars who have closely examined the question have concluded that Congress has authority to extend the impeachment process to officials who are no longer in office.” If so, should the Republicans take Congress as expected, they ought to impeach Hillary Clinton.

"During the entire four-year Trump presidency, the American people were deluged with fake “Russia, Russia Russia” news. The mainstream media would not let up on the unfounded accusations that Trump was a stooge of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, and there existed a dossier that proved it. It was a connection, said more than one talking head, that meant that Trump was not a legitimate president.

"Of course it turned out the dossier was a literal pack of lies – and financed by Clinton and her party.

"But that didn’t stop Clinton, the Democrat candidate whose “turn” it was to be president, from approving one of the dirtiest political tricks in U.S. history to, first, severely wound Trump’s election chances, then second, damage his presidency.

"Last week we learned from Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager Robby Mook that she personally approved planting a false claim that Trump had Moscow connections. Mook was testifying in the trial of Michael Sussmann, who is believed to have shopped lies about Trump to the FBI as a Clinton operative though he claimed he was acting alone. Mook’s statement under oath confirms that those who’ve argued for years that Clinton has engaged in crooked behavior have been right.

"Politics have been a dirty business since the founding of the American republic. But the Clinton campaign, with the aid of the now hard-left media, did its best to undermine an election that was as honest as we can expect. If the power-mad former U.S. senator and secretary of state could have used the faux scandal she and her cabal set in motion to find a way to overturn the election, she most certainly would have. It sounds a lot like … insurrection.

"At worst, her conduct, including using federal agencies to do her dirty work, might be criminal and deserving of a prison sentence. Minimally, though, Clinton should be impeached by the House, then prosecuted in the Senate. If two-thirds of the chamber convicts her, then she will carry the stink of corruption on her for the rest of her life. That would be the least of her deserved punishments.

"Undoing Joe Biden’s mountain of policy errors will take effort and time, and enough support among Republicans to override two years of presidential vetoes. But Clinton has to be punished for her offenses. To let her slide would be an injustice."  Written by the I&I Editorial Board

Pro-abortion signs highlight ignorance, inanity, vulgarity

Abort your signs, not your babies.

  American Thinker "An extraordinarily high percentage of the signs wielded by pro-abortion demonstrators are mind-bogglingly dumb and/or nonsensical. One of these inane sentiments (see below) has prompted me to write this post. That sign/sentiment? ”Guns have more rights than my vagina.” 

"Really? Let’s examine the facts. First of all, it must be noted, the vast majority of gun owners don’t stick a penis in their gun’s barrel and climax in it. They do have to subject themselves to a thorough background check by the feds, answer more than a dozen probing questions, fill out a 2-page form, and hand over several hundred dollars or more before they can take their firearms home with them. Oh, and they are also forced to present a current, valid, government-issued I.D.! (I don’t know how so many minority gun owners accomplish this feat!)". . .

"Moreover, firearms owners are prohibited from taking their guns into many public --and private places. By contrast, vagina owners are generally free to travel wherever they wish to go. None of the demented sign-carrying “ladies” have ever walked into, say, a library or retail outlet and seen a sign saying, “This is a vagina-free zone.” So back off, rabidly ignorant and entitled placard possessing protesters. If you don’t want a baby, don’t recklessly engage in the act that creates them.

"Otherwise, you become a greater threat to life than any firearm.

"And, speaking of rights, are you absolutely sure a baby in your vagina has none?

"Abort your signs, not your babies."

Republicans move to protect real women

 Republicans move to protect real women - American Thinker  

Indeed. It’s particularly telling at this point in time, during a baby formula shortage, that no transgender woman has emerged to feed a baby from “her” own body. That’s because a transgender woman is, in fact, a man, and lacks the equipment that God gave real women to feed babies with. . .

"I found it ominous when Bruce Jenner called himself Caitlyn and scooped up a Woman of the Year award from Glamour. It was considered so important to call this man a woman that Twitter created a bot to correct anyone using male pronouns for him. My fears were confirmed as women were slowly erased from society. Signaling a possible change in courage, Republicans are now pushing back.

"The effort to delegitimize women seemed to be unstoppable. A man calling himself Amy was touted as the first woman to win a million dollars on Jeopardy. Will Thomas, aka Lia, has become notorious for throwing women out of competitive swimming. Men calling themselves women were emboldened to invade women’s safe spaces by the mere proposal of the Equality Act, a bill that has failed to garner enough support to pass but that, if passed, would prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity.

"It might be well to pause here and ponder the fact that, while the word “discrimination” has come to be a pejorative, it used to mean the quality or power of finely distinguishing or perceiving a difference. In other words, it is not negative to discriminate between a woman and a man calling himself a woman. It is simply a recognition of a biological fact, but I digress. What is important is that there is a growing backlash to men taking the place of women.". . .

It Sure Looks Like Joe Biden Is Trying to Purposely Destroy the Country

 It Sure Looks Like Joe Biden Is Trying to Purposely Destroy the Country – RedState

If the Biden administration were actually purposely trying to destroy the country, what would they be doing differently? That’s a question everyone should ask themselves at this point. At every turn, on every issue, the president and his team are moving to do exactly the opposite of what has to happen to help, and they are doing so with blatant arrogance.

"The last several weeks in the United States have been a wild ride. Everything that could go wrong, short of a full-blown apocalyptic situation, has gone wrong. The stock market is currently in the midst of a collapse, with the Dow Jones losing nearly 5,000 points over the last 30 days. Inflation clocked in at 8.3% for April, representing another crushing blow to Americans. Of course, gas prices continue to break milestones on a daily basis.

"Meanwhile, the border crisis is completely out of control, with the only somewhat positive news being that a court blocked the Biden administration’s push to lift Title 42, which could take the already record, overwhelming numbers to double what we are currently seeing. But even past that, things you don’t normally think about are occurring, such as the massive wildfire currently engulfing parts of New Mexico.

"With all that in mind, you’d expect the current administration to be scrambling to fix things, or at the very least, soften the blow. Instead, it sure seems like Biden is purposely trying to destroy the country.

"For example, in the midst of exploding gas prices and a diesel shortage, which exacerbates inflation because products have to be transported, the administration decided to cancel more oil and gas leases.". . .

Joe Biden's Left a Stain on Our National Honor – RedState  "These are not your standard Chamber of Commerce types, seeking new investments and jobs for their community.

"These are top Taliban government officials working from home. They are also, it turns out, seeking fellow Afghans who were silly enough to trust the American government as their employer during the recent 20-year war in that misbegotten land."

The Collapse of Trust

 The Collapse of Trust - American Thinker  "Looking at the issues facing our country, there seems to be something pernicious for which we don’t seem to know what to do to correct the downward trajectory that is shaking us to our core.

"The issue at play now is that the majority of Americans have lost trust in our ability to govern and also, whether our leaders are even telling us the truth or are we simply being manipulated? Here are a few examples that are emblematic of the breadth and depth of the issues we face:. . ."

. . ."There are so many basic issues that are similar to those above and just as disheartening: immigration, woke policies, education, COVID, and even setting one race against another. We could go on seemingly endlessly. Is it any wonder we don’t trust our government, its leaders, policies, and even its good intentions any longer?

"We have arrived at a point that appears intentional. The utter disregard for breaking the sacred bond between ordinary Americans and their leadership, fealty to the principles and practices of a nation that has stood for good, stood for a better tomorrow, and been that beacon of hope to the entire world is now in doubt."

Ex-Biden Thought Police Chief Throws a Tantrum That Exposes DHS' True Goal (townhall.com)

The tantrum that occurred afterward is the best part because it exposes what this whole thought police was set up for, which is to help Democrats. You all know that—and I guess since the cat is out of the bag—they're admitting to it as well on some level. 

Former Fox correspondent Carl Cameron says police will have to start monitoring Fox News to prevent Tucker Carlson from lying on air

 But you're OK with Jim Acosta, Carl?

Former Fox Correspondent Says Police Should Stop Tucker Carlson From Lying (businessinsider.com)  "A former correspondent with Fox News suggested on Saturday that law enforcement agencies will have to take action against Fox News and Tucker Carlson to "stop the lying."

"Carl Cameron, Fox's former chief political correspondent, told CNN's Jim Acosta that Carlson in particular has been "screaming fire in a crowded movie house for years." . . .

. . ."Carlson latched onto that theory in his coverage of the Buffalo shooting, said Cameron, adding that the US government has to take action against people who spread and amplify misinformation.

""Democrats have to kick it in," he said. "The president has to be more forceful and sooner or later the law enforcement and the US government is going to have to stop the lying because it's causing people's deaths."

" 'It's not just Fox, it's social media in general," he added. "It's on the internet. And we have to remember that a good portion of what we read is coming from folks who aren't Americans, pretending to be Americans in order to gaslight them even worse."

"When reached for comment, a Fox News spokesperson directed Insider to various on-air comments from Carlson in which he denounces political violence."

Acosta badly wants the cameras on.

Yes, Acosta is even honored by the Babylon Bee:

Jim Acosta Awards Self ‘The Jim Acosta Award For Courageous And Handsome Journalism’ | The Babylon Bee

Standing before a massive crowd of cardboard cutouts of Jim Acosta, Jim Acosta humbly accepted ‘The Jim Acosta Award For Courageous And Handsome Journalism’ from himself.

The award ceremony lasted over thirty minutes due to the multiple components of the award Jim Acosta accepted from Jim Acosta:

• The Jim Acosta Trophy of Distinguished Journalism adorned with an engraved image of Jim Acosta.
• The Jim Acosta Medal of Journalistic Valor, also engraved with Jim Acosta’s likeness.
• The Jim Acosta Commemorative T-Shirt, which lists, in 12-point font, the numerous risks taken by Jim Acosta on the front lines as CNN’s Chief White House correspondent.
• The Jim Acosta Collector’s Plate, with a watercolor portrait of Jim Acosta.
• An autographed copy of Jim Acosta’s book, “The Enemy of the People.” The autograph reads, “To my biggest fan, from your biggest fan. Love, Jim Acosta.”

During Jim Acosta’s acceptance speech, which was printed on the back of The Jim Acosta Commemorative T-Shirt, Jim Acosta recounted being the first-hand witness to some of the most pivotal moments in the history of the United States, like when Jim Acosta yelled super loud at the President of the United States, and that other time when he was called mean names by the President of the United States.

At press time, Jim Acosta was seen filling out a job application for Wendy’s.

What it means that Hillary Clinton did it

 What it means that Hillary Clinton did it - American Thinker   "The Wall Street Journal ran a scathing editorial on May 20, called "Hillary Clinton Did It".   

 "This editorial began:  "The Russia-Trump collusion narrative  of 2016 was a dirty trick for the ages -- and now we know it came from the top -- candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton." The editorial quickly explained:  "That was the testimony Friday by 2016 Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook in federal court [in Washington, D.C.] , and while this news is hardly a surprise, it;s still bracing to find her fingertips on the political weapon."   (Also not surprisingly, The May 20 print edition of The New York Times did not include a story on Mook's testimony.)". . .

Hillary Clinton did it – HotAir  . . ."In short, the Clinton campaign created the Trump-Alfa allegation, fed it to a credulous press that failed to confirm the allegations but ran with them anyway, then promoted the story as if it was legitimate news. The campaign also delivered the claims to the FBI, giving journalists another excuse to portray the accusations as serious and perhaps true." . . .

Hillary Clinton's sordid legacy of lies (nypost.com)  . . ."Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady — a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation — is a congenital liar. 

"“Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.” 

"Safire detailed a series of situations where Hillary Clinton was caught in obvious lies, and there is a straight line to the Hillary Clinton whose shadow hangs over the Michael Sussmann trial in Washington. Once again, Clinton is being exposed as “compelled to mislead” and ensnaring “her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.” 

"And to think she almost got away with stealing the presidency. ". . .

Gaslighting 101: How the Democrats Invented White Supremacy but Blame Republicans – PJ Media

If you were to believe leftist, bolshie rhetoric you’d think mullet-topped bumpkins with muskets were falling out of every Ford F-150 rambling the back roads of ‘Merica, looking to lynch black folks.

"The Democrats like to throw around the term “white supremacy” every chance they get. Joe Biden, who gave a eulogy for an actual Klansman — Hillary Clinton mentor Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), the longest-serving senator in history — dared call 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse a “white supremacist” after he lawfully ventilated three white Antifa prags in self-defense. The ONE attacker he didn’t shoot was the black guy who kicked him while Rittenhouse was on the ground.

“ 'White supremacy” has been the left’s leading attack phrase for several years now, used especially frequently by chubby, pink-haired unf***bles of uncertain gender when a science-American refuses to refer to it by some ridiculous pronoun not recognized by Webster’s Dictionary.

"But what today’s low-T progressives may not realize (or may not care about) is that “white supremacy” was born through the greedy, hateful loins of Democrats several centuries ago and would likely be nothing more than a horrible memory by now if liberals weren’t so dog-gone eager to keep their own racism alive. And the best way to maintain hate is to blame Republicans, the party that ended slavery, for the “white supremacy” that the desperate left needs to be today’s boogeyman.". . .

Joy Reid’s MSNBC Show Plummets to Rock Bottom – Hits Lowest-Rated Month Ever

 Why does MSNBC keep her? Perhaps the question answers itself. TD

Joy Reid’s MSNBC Show Plummets to Rock Bottom - Hits Lowest-Rated Month Ever - Analyzing America  "MSNBC’s Joy Reid has an alarming history of controversial and often bizarre or hateful remarks. We are finally seeing her audience begin to evaporate as the show hits rock bottom.

"The show’s rating plummeted to its lowest-rated month ever with just 1.1 million viewers on average. This was a 31% decline from April of last year.

"April was also packed with constant news, including the contentious Senate confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The race-obsessed MSNBC host struggled to attract viewers.

"In multiple recent instances, Reid compares today’s Republicans with past segregationists, the Dixiecrats. She argued Republicans are racist for opposing Joe Biden’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.

"She also accused U.S. Senator Tim Scott of being “dogged walk” by another Senator, Lindsey Graham, and embracing his “barking-dog racism” by opposing Biden’s nominee Judge Jackson. In response, Scott slammed Reid by saying she believes “a Black man cannot think for himself,” adding that her comments are “vile” and “offensive.”

"After Russia invaded Ukraine, Reid suggested the international response to the conflict would be less significant if the country under attack was not “White” and “largely Christian.”

"On social media, Reid has published disturbing comments that falsely claim Republicans are “pro-rape” and “pro-child marriage party.”

"She once said that “Republicans vote like al Qaeda fights: with a patient, long-term goal of seizing power and forcing the libertine culture to heel under the boot; no matter how many elections it takes.”

"In another racially-charged theory, the left-wing host claimed that Kyle Rittenhouse and Justice Brett Kavanaugh benefited from “male White tears” and a belief that “people on the right would trade all the tax cuts for the ability to openly say the n-word.”

"While on air, she referred to African American sitting Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as “Uncle Clarence.”

"Reid claimed Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of charges because the jury’s decision was rooted in the days of “slave catchers.' ”. . .

A courageous archbishop finally takes on Nancy Pelosi

Pelosi can still receive Communion in Washington, D.C., for Cordileone’s edict covers only the San Francisco diocese. Nevertheless, he’s made an important point because he’s right that this isn’t political. It’s moral: The Church must stand for something and it weakens itself if it blithely allows famous people to ignore its core doctrine. 

 A courageous archbishop finally takes on Nancy Pelosi; Andrea Widburg  "There are two things Nancy Pelosi has loudly and proudly boasted about for decades: Her absolute support for abortion and her staunch Catholicism. Of course, those two things are inconsistent because, even under the progressive Pope Francis, abortion remains anathema to the Church. With that in mind, it’s good news that, on Friday, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone had the courage to announce that, until Pelosi repudiates her support for abortion, she should not be admitted to Holy Communion in her home base of San Francisco nor should she present herself to receive the Eucharist.

"Nancy Pelosi is not just a lukewarm abortion supporter. In 2013, Pelosi opposed a bill banning late-term abortions with the jaw-dropping statement, “As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me.... This shouldn’t have anything to do with politics.” She’s also claimed that videos showing trafficking in fetal body parts are fake, that unborn babies aren’t human, that pro-lifers are plagued by “this conscience thing,” and that the Church has no idea when life begins.

"All of that makes for an interesting stance for a “practicing and respectful Catholic” to take. Pope Francis, who assumed that office in 2013, the same year Pelosi linked Catholicism and abortion, has been remarkably clear that abortion is an untouchable third rail, one as to which he will not show any flexibility. Over the years, Pope Francis has stated that “Abortion is murder,” likened abortion to “hir[ing] a hitman” in order to solve a problem,” called aborting disabled children a Nazi practice, informed physicians that abortion is “against the Hippocratic oath” and “is an evil in and of itself,” and said that abortion is “incompatible” with our obligation to respect the environment and creation.". . .

Why the brave archbishop made his move on Nancy Pelosi now - Monica Showalter  . . ."Pelosi, after all, isn't any ordinary cafeteria Catholic who likes abortion, but claims to be a devout Catholic.  Pelosi is a powerful change agent for promoting abortion as a powerful elected official who cites her Catholic faith as some kind of justification for it.  It's obvious in her record thus far: Pelosi doesn't just favor abortion on demand up until the moment of birth; she also wants the government to be able sue the Little Sisters of the Poor for their pro-life conscientious objection to financing abortions.  She's shoveled cash for abortion on demand abroad.  She's repeatedly shut down proposed votes in the House for saving infants born alive after abortion.  She fully supports ending conscience exemptions on abortion for medical professionals and forcing them to commit abortions whether they like it or not.  Most of all, she's all about cash, cash, cash for the premier human body parts–trafficker of aborted babies, Planned Parenthood, which is all about abortion.  Now with Roe v. Wade likely to be overturned by the Supreme Court, she's looking to make abortion until the moment of birth the settled law of the land as House speaker. ". . .

San Francisco archbishop bars Pelosi from communion over abortion stance | Nancy Pelosi | The Guardian

In a letter addressed to the US House speaker and posted on his Twitter account, ultra conservative Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone argued that Pelosi’s “position on abortion has become only more extreme over the years, especially in the last few months,” and he had decided to block her from communion after she had ignored his requests to explain her stance to him.

 

 

Were There ‘Right-Wing’ Riots When Tucker Carlson Called For A Colorblind Meritocracy?

Were There ‘Right-Wing’ Riots When Tucker Carlson Called For A Colorblind Meritocracy? - American Thinker  . . ."Was there any pushback from the pro-freedom right when Tucker Carlson said we should treat people as human beings created by God no matter what we look like? We must confess that we’ve been busy trying to cut back vines to keep the forest at bay and catching up on some tractor maintenance.  So, we might have missed all the news stories of conservatives, libertarians, and anarchists of the pro-freedom ‘far-right’ threatening to never again watch Tucker Carlson, boycott his sponsors, and riot in the streets because of what he said on his shows on Monday and Thursday this week. 

"The video is referenced in this article. The strange thing is that it’s been a couple of days, and if what the anti-liberty leftists are saying is true, there must have been riots that dwarfed the burning, looting, and murder of 2020’s ‘peaceful protests.’  Dare we say it, these were probably far more devastating than the worst day of conflict in the history of mankind: January 6, 2021.  

"You see, according to ‘brand expert’ Donny Deutsch and many others of the nation’s socialist, anti-liberty left, we’ve supposedly embraced something that is so ‘mainstream’ it’s never the topic of conversation.  You know, the subject of very important talking points that we never talk about. 

"We don’t know about you, but it certainly was news to us that we are all based on ‘white supremacy’ or something like that.  We’re not really sure what that supposedly is, and neither are most on the pro-freedom side of the political aisle.  This is all predicated on the ‘manifesto’ of self-described former communist, left authoritarian "ethno-nationalist eco-fascist national socialist" who loathes libertarianism and conservatism in particular, and like many of anti-liberty left in that this chumbucket is mentally ill.
