Democrats destroy nations

Sri Lanka foolishly signed on to the green initiative in farming, going organic and limiting the importation and use of chemical fertilizers. Food production, including tea, a vital export earner of foreign exchange, collapsed, and now the government is broke, people are hungry.

Sri Lanka doesn't have Hollywood and TV commentators to contend with. TD

  Thomas Lifson  "Green tyranny has finally provoked mass reactions, and the first government has fallen after imposing insane policies that wrecked the food supply for its people. Both the president and the prime minister of Sri Lanka are resigning in the wake of massive mobs storming and occupying their residences, burning the PM’s private house and refusing to leave the presidential palace until both men are out of office. The BBC reports:

Sri Lanka President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has confirmed he will be resigning, the prime minister's office has said.

It comes two days after crowds stormed the official residence of both leaders. Demonstrators are still occupying the buildings and are refusing to leave until both leaders are gone.

The parliament Speaker had earlier said the president would resign on 13 July.

Mr Rajapaksa's current whereabouts are unknown. The BBC has been told that he is on a navy vessel at sea.

His resignation was first announced by the parliament Speaker on Saturday, but many Sri Lankans responded with scepticism to the idea that he would relinquish power.

On Monday, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe's office said in a statement it had been informed by Mr Rajapaksa that he would step down on Wednesday.

However, there has still been no direct word from Mr Rajapaksa.

"This Rumble video shows the incredible size of the crowd storming the presidential palace:

Do Democrats have any comprehension of how intentionally destructive their energy policies are? Do they care?

Why are we building a new Air Force One with its huge carbon footprint and since we will no longer use oil in a few years and it will be worthless?

Jack Hellner   "There is all kinds of nonsense going on now over the issue of global warming that Democrats fawn over. It's an unscientific theory that has gripped big-money Democrats and their media allies for decades, and what they are trying to do is force this non-science into every area of society, destructively so.

"Let's take airports to start:

"Here are some headlines:

We can expect to see six- to nine-seat electric options introduced between 2022 and 2025, and up to 19-seat options emerge around 2030. . . . $1 billion from infrastructure law to boost 85 airports, Biden administration says

" Why are we spending so much on airports since we are supposedly going to soon stop using fossil fuels and we won't have many battery-operated plane in the greenie future?

"The airports certainly won't be very crowded.

"There is also this:

Biden will be the first president to use the new Air Force One – here's what we know about the $5.3 billion aircraft . . .

What's it gonna take for Hunter Biden's pervy, corrupt, doings to matter? And "Pedo Pete's"

Miranda Devine:   Amid Hunter’s ongoing scandals, Biden is going soft on China 

Also on Wednesday, US counterintelligence officials issued a bulletin to state and local officials, warning of an escalating campaign by China to manipulate and influence politicians to push Washington for China-friendly policies.

The threat is not exactly new. The Trump administration pursued aggressive measures to rein in China’s growing assertiveness and espionage activities.

Yet, Joe Biden has gone soft on China since becoming president. 

What's it gonna take for Hunter Biden's pervy, corrupt, doings to matter?  . . ."It was gross enough, and no, not a long-ago matter

"Sure, it can be dismissed as just a sideshow to the catastrophic and fraudulently launched Joe Biden presidency.

"But news is coming out about this pervy stuff, and Hunter Biden's business dealings with America's enemies such as China, having an impact.

"Hunter, recall, is Joe Biden's closest advisor. He "earns" as much as $500,000 a pop for his "paintings" which even top gallery artists don't pull in, and nobody's allowed to know who his buyers are. He hasn't dumped his China holdings, yet has admitted that he's dealing with top Chinese spies in some of his previously disclosed laptop disclosures. He's clearly unstable, engages in illegal drug and gun activity, has been in trouble for tax evasion, owes money to hookers and strippers throughout the narrative, and takes big payments from the world's gamiest regimes, who would have to know all his "secrets.' " . . .

EXCLUSIVE: Hunter's search history reveals his obsession with porn and sex fantasies including '18yrs old,' 'lonely widow' and 'MILF crack cocaine porn,' he uploaded his OWN amateur videos and texted Pornhub link to phone listed in his contacts as 'Dad'

You'll Never Believe the Contacts on Hunter's iPhone  . . ."And as my friend and colleague Matt Margolis reported earlier today, there are also multiple references to “Pedo Peter” on Hunter’s iPhone.

The main reason people speculate that “Pedo Peter” is Joe Biden is because of a past report that Joe Biden wrote to several people close to him via email, including his son Hunter, using the pseudonym “Peter Henderson,” in reference to a fictional Soviet Union-era spy who infiltrated the U.S. government in several Tom Clancy novels. That detail is weird on its own, but it certainly gives credence to the Joe-Biden-is-Pedo-Peter theory.

Finally, there’s a little something else from 4Chan.

"I hesitate to share this, but if the speculation about Pedo Peter is true, not only did Hunter Biden really need those FBI contacts, but that rotten apple might not have fallen far from the tree."

Pronoun Nonsense in the Navy and Beyond

                Leftists ruin everything, and our language is a perfect example.

The Blacksphere  "Leftists arbitrarily change the meaning of words, then force the world to bend to their will. Like the word “marriage”. Undoubtedly, a union between a man and a woman. Then, Leftists went after the word. All because Leftists hate God.

"Destroy marriage; or at least bastardize it. And voila. Not only do you tear down the institution of marriage, you get the government to actually destroy the principle upon which marriage is built, i.e. religion.

"In a more recent example, Leftists now target pronouns.

"I learned what a pronoun was long ago. But now Leftists want to change pronouns so that freaks feel better about themselves. So in what amounts to little more than a power play, some idiots introduce themselves with their pronoun preference. And it is now the responsibility of people to note such distinctions, or be accused of aggression.

"In the Navy video, Naval Undersea Warfare Center engineer Jony Rozon introduces himself by telling the viewer that he uses “he/him” pronouns. His co-host, engineer Conchy Vasquez, then says she uses “she/her” pronouns.". . .

70,000 Self-Employed Truckers in California Face Shutdown Under New State Law

 70,000 Self-Employed Truckers in California Face Shutdown Under New State Law – [your]NEWS (yournews.com)

"Tens of thousands of independent California truck owner-operators could be out of business soon under a new statewide worker classification law designating them as employees.

"On June 30, the U.S. Supreme Court denied a review on whether California Assembly Bill 5 (AB-5) violates the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1994 as it applies to self-employed truck drivers.

“ 'Gasoline has been poured on the fire that is our ongoing supply chain crisis,” the California Trucking Association (CTA) wrote in a June 30 response to the high court’s decision regarding the association’s legal challenge to the bill.

“ 'In addition to the direct impact on California’s 70,000 owner-operators—who have seven days to cease long-standing independent businesses—the impact of taking tens of thousands of truck drivers off the road will have devastating repercussions on an already fragile supply chain, increasing costs and worsening runaway inflation,” the association added.". . .

Five Quick Things: The Malicious Incompetence of Team Biden   "We could use countless examples to illustrate this truth. After all, why would you appoint a Pete Buttigieg to oversee the transportation and logistics industry as well as our transportation infrastructure if you weren’t actively trying to retard the proper function of those crucial assets?

"Or pick any other example you like. “Rachel” Levine. Kamala Harris. Lloyd Austin. Ketanji Brown “Not a Biologist” Jackson. Sam Brinton, the “kink activist” and drag queen appointed to head up the nation’s nuclear stockpile.

"Here, though, we’ll focus on Karine Jean-Pierre, who in a very short time has become the most notable example of the purposeful malice coloring Team Biden’s personnel decisions.". . .

The Real Reason American Military Recruitment Is Failing

"Who wants Joe Biden as his commander-in-chief?"  Will Joe have your backs the way he did his border patrol?

 America deserves better than what she’s being forced to endure. Fix the rot at the top and suddenly military recruitment problems will go away. Young people are still willing to fight and die for American ideals. The problem is that American leadership has none.

American Spectator   . . ."Who wants Joe Biden as his commander-in-chief? Who trusts this president with his or her son or daughter’s life? Who looks at the two-tiered justice system and believes it’s worth defending? President Biden got America out of Afghanistan and humiliated America and destabilized relationships around the world while doing it. Leaders like President Vladimir Putin have utter contempt for President Biden, and why not? Leaders in the Middle East refuse his requests, fully knowing that no one respects Biden, his lackeys, or the leadership in the Democrat party. John Kerry marauds around the globe talking inanely about the climate, while the world economy is faltering and famine is on the short horizon. The State Department actively thwarted getting Americans and their allies out of Afghanistan. They’re still interfering in the actions of private individuals seeking to liberate people there. These so-called elites would be the ones making life and death decisions. In Afghanistan, their decisions resulted in death.

"It’s not just the civilian and elected elites that engender the people’s scorn. The military leadership is a dysfunctional mess. Who wants to answer to political ideologues dressed up in military uniform, heels, and mascara? Who wants a leader like Gen. Mark Milley, who went behind the former commander-in-chief’s back and presided over failure after failure? All of it is shameful. All of it is not just un-American, it’s anti-American, and the corruption comes straight from the top.". . .

How the Militant Left Uses Fear

From The European Conservative: 

A technique the Left uses to increase control through public anxiety is to “set multiple fires along the ridgeline.” The public notices that the flames are spreading. Which fire does one run to first? What must be sacrificed and allowed to burn?

On the other hand, you represent individual liberty, freedom of conscience, and the right to be secure in your home and property, and that is the homeland security you must fight to preserve at all costs.

The objective of the militant political Left—whether in Hungary, at the European Union (EU), or in the United States—is to keep the public in a state of perpetual, acute, neurotic anxiety. They employ this form of psychological conditioning as a means of control. In the last century, socialists—National Socialists but particularly Communists—specialized in the technique to impose totalitarian control over whole societies.

"Their goal is to manipulate the population into a series of fear-based decisions that disconnect people from their traditions, history, and values—and from each other. Separation from reality, inducing neurotic behavior and developing disordered environments—while simultaneously extinguishing individual independent thought and behavior—work together to create ‘learned helplessness,’ leaving a vacuum for government to step in and ‘save the day.’

"This type of strategic psychological combat, aimed at directing and swaying public attitudes, is not new, nor is it merely the product of the last 100 years. Sun Tzu also stressed the importance of destroying the enemy’s will to fight in his 5th-century BC writings on military affairs. Lenin’s 1920 “Conditions for Admission to the Communist International” discusses this technique as “demoralization”—the far-stronger German term is Zersetzung—meaning  break-up, decomposition, and disintegration. In the late 1920s the German communist party had specific operational detachments, referred to as Apparat, specifically for Zersetzung and Terror, working together in powerful combination. The German communist cells took orders from Moscow, agitated for class warfare, deconstructed society for political advantage, and subverted the authority of the Weimar constitution. You are the modern-day target for this exact same treatment.

"The mind has always been one of the most important battlegrounds—this is especially seen in Lenin’s dogmatic interpretation of Marxism. Lenin stresses throughout his writing that there can only be one right belief and that any dissent is a threat meriting terrorism at home and aggression abroad. ". . .

Don’t Let The Democrats Claim The Mantle Of Freedom

 We challenge readers to come up with even a single freedom that Democrats support, and abortion doesn’t count unless a convincing case can be made that abortion is not the taking of an innocent human life, and that the aborted have no rights of their own to be respected.

I & I Editorial Board   "Psychological projection is the act of attributing one’s unpleasant traits to someone else. Psychological deflection is a way of shifting attention away from one’s poor behavior to another person. Both are used expertly by Democrats, who don’t want the voters to catch on to their act.

"We could start with any of the Democrats’ many examples of projection and deflection, but let’s focus on one of the most recent instances of a Democratic pot calling a kettle black: California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Florida television ad.

“Freedom is under attack in your state,” Newsom said in a voice a bit less croaky than his usual raspy delivery. “Your Republican leaders, they’re banning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech in classrooms, even criminalizing women and doctors.

“I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight or join us in California, where we still believe in freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate, and the freedom to love. Don’t let them take your freedom,” he finishes with a faux flourish that included a pointed finger meant to underline the sincerity the factory-made man sorely lacks.

"The ad is a truly stomach-turning performance (typical of Newsom) for those who truly cherish freedom, and understand what it is – and isn’t. (It’s also filled with lies. Read this master Fisking of the governor’s tales.)

"The California of Newsom, who many hope will save the Democratic Party from sinking under the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris millstones, is ranked 48th in the Cato Institute’s Freedom In The 50 States report. It’s where new prohibitions, such as bans on multiple plastic consumer goods, including single-use bags customarily given out by retailers, pop up on a regular basis, and food waste must be composted rather than thrown in garbage cans.

"Under Newsom, California lawmakers:

• Have literally robbed workers of their livelihoods through Assembly Bill 5, which virtually outlawed gig work (though exceptions have been granted for some of the more politically connected independent contract workers).
• Are in the process of criminalizing speech about COVID-19 that is considered by the political powers to be “disinformation” or “misinformation.”
• And are also trying to dodge the Second Amendment and the U.S Supreme Court’s recent Bruen ruling. 

Speaking of California Democrats:

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s attempt to convince everybody Dems are the ‘party of freedom’ doesn’t survive reality checks

Isn’t that guy from the lockdown-happy state of California that arrested a guy on the ocean all by himself and filled in a skate park with sand so nobody could use it?

Fusilli Spock responded: 

1. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor 2. Disarm legal gun owners so criminals with guns keep you in fear 3. Blocking voting security dilutes everyone's vote 4. Sexualize children and excuse/release violent criminals 5. Freedom of speech, but not conservative speech

. . ."Fill-in anchor Boris Sanchez was all smiles as they discussed the new episodes of the show, which is seemingly meant to mock conservative beliefs.

Two more reasons to be mad as hell at Joe Biden

 Ed Brodow    "Recently, I detailed five reasons to impeach Joe Biden. Here are two more.

1. Biden is selling our petroleum reserves to China.

"Biden is selling off 180 million barrels (one third of the total) from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.  The stated goal: softening the pain on American citizens from higher gas prices.  Releasing the oil should have reduced the price at the pump.  Why isn't that happening?  Because the oil being released is going to Europe, India, and China.

" 'The Biden administration is selling off our emergency oil reserves to China," said Tucker Carlson on Fox's Tucker Carlson Tonight.  "An impeachable offense.  Selling off our most valuable asset to a government whose goal is to crush us."  The irony, Carlson points out, is that there is no reason to sell the reserves "when we can produce the energy here.". . .

2. Biden is forcing Critical Race Theory on state education systems.

"Biden has sent a bill to Congress — the "Civics Secures Democracy Act" (CSDA) — that will allow the Biden administration to force Critical Race Theory (CRT) on every public school in the country. "Over a six-year period," said Stanley Kurtz, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, in National Review, "this $6 billion pot of competitive grant money will create a de facto national curriculum — just like Common Core.  States desperate to tap into the federal gravy train will have to tailor their civics and history grant proposals to the Biden administration's liking.  And abundant evidence shows that Biden's Education Department is pushing CRT."

"Federal law prohibits the imposition of a curriculum on the states.  How is Biden getting around the law?  "The strings that Biden's bureaucrats will attach to these massive federal grants will suffice to lure states into adopting CRT," said Kurtz.". . .

 If he succeeds, Biden will take America down a new path of racial division and political Stalinism.

Dems governors: Biden's in over his head, out of ideas, and out of time

"Who says America can’t find its way to a national consensus? Republicans have considered Joe Biden intellectually bankrupt for decades. According to the latest complaints making their way to Politico, Democrat governors have just figured that out — and now worry that the clock’s about to run out on Biden and their midterm hopes:". . .

Not that they have much choice in the matter. They’re only complaining to the media because Biden’s incompetence has grown so obvious to voters that it’s impossible to defend. The only strategy left to Democrats in and out of the Beltway is to distance themselves from the stench of the candidate they foisted on Americans in the first place. Good luck with that.

Exclusive–Top Oversight Republican in Congress Demands Testimony, Documents from Biden Officials on Oil Reserve Sale to Hunter-Linked Chinese Firm

 Breitbart

"House Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer (R-KY) told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement that when Republicans take control of the House, they plan on investigating reports that President Joe Biden sold nearly one million barrels from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to a Chinese state-owned gas company that has financial ties to a private equity firm cofounded by Hunter Biden.  

"The Washington Free Beacon’s Collin Anderson released a bombshell report that Biden’s Department of Energy sold one million barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of Sinopec. Sinopec is wholly owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party.

"According to the report, Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, reportedly has financial ties to the CPP-owned Sinopec. A private equity firm Hunter cofounded reportedly purchased a roughly $2 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing in 2015.

"The Free Beacon noted:

Biden is connected to Sinopec through BHR Partners, a private equity firm he cofounded in 2013. BHR bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing in 2015. Biden at one point owned a 10 percent stake in BHR Partners through his wholly owned firm, Skaneateles, LLC.. . .
