Ann Coulter: Actually, Our Culture Is Better

 Child rape, gang rape, incest -- it's been a long time since we've seen much of that in the United States. Of course, there are lots of things we thought had been abolished a hundred years ago that our immigration policies are bringing back. 

Townhall. . .But as long as they're going to keep talking about how hard it is to get an abortion in Ohio, I'm going to keep talking about how hard it is to assimilate the third world to first-world norms about women and children. 

"Child rape, gang rape, incest -- it's been a long time since we've seen much of that in the United States. Of course, there are lots of things we thought had been abolished a hundred years ago that our immigration policies are bringing back. 

"Indeed, the precise reasons people doubted "10-year-old rape victim" (until we found out the rapist was an illegal immigrant from Guatemala) were: 

1) We grew up in America, where such crimes were freakishly rare; 

2) We are being systematically lied to about the new cultures being brought in by mass third-world immigration. 

"In its treatment of women, America is rare even among Western nations.

Toward the end of "Democracy in America," Alexis de Tocqueville attributes "the unusual prosperity and growing strength" of America to "the superiority of their women." 

"This admirable creature, he said, was the product of Protestantism combined with self-government and the spirit of freedom. 

" 'Amongst almost all Protestant nations young women are far more the mistresses of their own actions than they are in Catholic countries. ... [S]he has scarcely ceased to be a child when she already thinks for herself, speaks with freedom, and acts on her own impulse."

"Cut to: The mother of the 10-year-old rape victim in Ohio adamantly defending her child's rapist." . . .

The Biden Bunch: Joe and our nation's Leadership

Biden and The Destruction of Wisdom – sbynews

"The Biden regime is decoupled from both the past and reality, and quite capable of destroying Americans’ lives as they have known them.

"There used to be an agreed-on body of wisdom, which both Left and Right, Republicans and Democrats, generally accepted. Heated arguments and invective centered on implementations and methods of solving problems, which at least both sides agreed were problems. Both ideologies accepted a common core of wisdom, despite their radical differences in interpreting it.

"Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and especially Biden’s strange cabinet of loud Jacobin amateurs, reject the very hallowed knowledge upon which civilization is based. In that sense the public has begun to recognize them as nihilist and anarchist. Nearly two out of three Americans in some polls hold unfavorable views of the Biden Administration. They fear that it is decoupled from both the past and reality, and quite capable of destroying their lives as they have known them.". . .

How can we ever get our nation's adversaries and enemies to unsee what Democrats have fostered before the world? TD

So, It Turns Out That Biden Video Was Worse Than We Initially Knew

 Townhall

Townhall

"Yesterday, I covered the disturbingly viral video from President Joe Biden in which he didn't blink for nearly 20 seconds as he made some digs at former President Donald Trump and blabbered on about how "you can't be pro-insurrection and pro-cop, you can't be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy, you can't be pro-insurrection and pro-American." Well, as it turns out, there was more footage, as our friends at Twitchy covered, and it contains sloppy cuts.". . .

. . ."A major complaint from the video published Tuesday afternoon was that the president didn't blink, once. His voice also sounded croaky and hoarse though. While Biden does blink in the raw footage video, his voice remains problematic. It even sounds like he's slurring his words. "This law does so much more, it saves lives, including yours," he says at one point. "It'll help you do your job, but it's just a start," he says at another. The additional footage also gives deeper context to Biden referencing being "pro-cop," despite how members of his party have supported defunding the police. "Last week, I rolled out by Safer America plan, with a goal of doing three key things," Biden shared, including "taking additional commonsense steps to reduce gun crimes and violence." It's worth reminding that to the president, and Vice President Kamala Harris, "commonsense steps" include a ban on so-called assault weapons, even though fellow Democratic lawmakers acknowledge that's not practical. Many responses point to the particularly poor editing job". . .

Hostage-Like Video From Joe Biden Is Really Freaking Everybody Out

Thank goodness! We’ve finally learned Kamala Harris’s pronouns -

 Andrea Widberg  "Kamala Harris attended a meeting with disability rights leaders and promptly made a fool of herself by announcing her pronouns and telling what color suit she’s wearing. By doing so, she was copying two obnoxious leftist trends and outing herself as a follower who can never be a serious leader.

"I don’t need to tell you about the “announcing of the pronouns” trend because that’s been sickening us for years now. Another less common trend is for speakers to describe a little bit about their skin and hair coloring and their clothes for the visually impaired. I have friends who are blind, and I find it difficult to believe that this brief description really matters to them for the simple reason that, by virtue of being blind, they inhabit a mental world that usually isn’t big on colors. Theirs is more of an auditory world than a visual one.

"These little announcements are pure virtue signaling, highlighting the speaker’s exquisite sensitivity. They're also a good way to force the issue of race on people who, by rights, don't need to be burdened by such considerations. (Just think of Dave Chappelle's brilliant black white supremacist shtick.)

"To set the scene, everyone at the meeting was doing the pronouns and self-description shtick:". . .

Portland Will Entertain Banning Sale of Fossil-Based Diesel Fuel Within City Limits

Portland Will Entertain Banning Sale of Fossil-Based Diesel Fuel Within City Limits (wweek.com)   "The city of Portland will seek public comment on banning the sale of petroleum-based diesel fuel within the city limits as part of its Climate Emergency Work Plan, presented to the City Council today.

"The work plan aims to curb diesel usage by electrifying trucks and using more biodiesel, which is derived from agricultural sources like cooking oil. The diesel ban will go out to public comment at the end of August, said Andria Jacob, climate policy and program manager for the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability.

"The code change would “phase out petroleum diesel sold in the city of Portland over the next several years,” Jacob told the council.

"The City Council is considering the climate work plan as most of the U.S. suffers under a stultifying heat wave. Temperatures in Portland are forecast to rise to 100 degrees Fahrenheit next week.

"The Portland City Council declared a climate emergency in 2020 and directed city bureaus to take action with a focus on Black, Indigenous and low-income communities. The work plan lays out actions to take over the next three years to “prevent the worst-case scenarios.”

" 'It’s now or never for the climate,” Jacob told the council. “Please choose now.”

"Representatives for fueling stations and the trucking industry says today’s proposal caught them by surprise.". . .

Tell me again; How did we win the Cold War?

 Are we still that " Shining City On A Hill"?

In 1630, on the Arbella as it sailed toward North America, Puritan leader John Winthrop delivered a sermon called “ A Modell of Christian Charity ” asserting that this new land “shall be as a city upon a hill.” If that sounds familiar, it’s because on several occasions Ronald Reagan spoke of a shining city on a hill, sitting above other nations.

AOCs Latest Stupid Demand: Dissolve SCOTUS ‘For The Sake Of The Planet’ -

  The Lid (lidblog.com)

"On Thursday, the “pompous little twit” known as AOC demanded the Supreme Court be dissolved “for the sake of the planet” after the Court reigned in the EPA’s power to regulate greenhouse gases.

“ 'Catastrophic. A filibuster carveout is not enough. We need to reform or do away with the whole thing, for the sake of the plane,” the twit said on Twitter.". . .

. . ."Democrats complain that this Court is filled with conservatives. That shows how little they understand about the Supreme Court. Donald Trump did not appoint any conservatives to the Court. He appointed originalists. They believe that all statements in the Constitution must be interpreted based on the original understanding “at the time it was adopted.”

"The EPA decision was based on the constitutional separation of powers. The EPA went beyond the powers given to them by congress. Congress could give them the power, but the EPA couldn’t just take power.". . .

Soros Backs O’Rourke’s Bid for Texas Governor With $1 Million

Shouldn't America expect O'Rourke to resign on principle, seeing the damage Soros DA's are doing to American society? Beto, how many deaths are attributed to Soros and his money?  TD

 MSN "(Bloomberg) -- George Soros is throwing his financial support behind Democrat Beto O’Rourke as he seeks to become the next governor of Texas.". . .

. . ."Soros donated $1 million to the underdog’s Beto for Texas political action committee last month, according to filings released Tuesday by the Texas Ethics Commission. It’s tied for the largest-ever contribution to O’Rourke, along with $1 million donations each from Austin-based philanthropists Simone and Tench Coxe. 

"Soros, a 91-year-old billionaire who frequently supports progressive causes, has been active in Texas politics before, for example contributing $500,000 last year to defeat a ballot initiative in Austin that would have forced the city to hire hundreds of police officers. Republicans including Governor Greg Abbott often paint him as an outsider seeking to impose liberal values on a deep-red state.". . .

Beto, The Beatable Beta - Grrr Graphics - Ben Garrison Cartoon

"‘Beto’ is a Mexican nickname, but the Irish O’Rourke is not rejected for such cultural appropriation. After all, he looks vaguely like RFK, and that buys him a lot of tolerance. Expect him to do more silly things such as recording his dental exam or skateboarding across a stage. President Trump made fun of Beto’s habit of wildly waving his arms while speaking. As for the border walls, Beto wants to tear down those already in existence. Yes, he’s a lefty nut job and if you don’t vote for him, the world will end in 12 years.". . .

A new terror for the left: Catholic hospitals

Those rioting over Dodds; do they also riot for no-kill animal shelters?

 Andrea Widberg  "The AP has a hair-raising horror story for leftists still reeling from the Dobbs decision returning the question of abortion to the states: Catholic hospitals are on the rise! Even in states in which abortion will remain legal, there are some regions in which non-Catholic hospitals are going under and the only thing left is those “eeeevil” abortion-free, contraception-limiting Catholic healthcare providers.

The article, entitled “Catholic hospitals’ growth impacts reproductive health care” focuses on Connecticut, where Covenant Health, a Catholic hospital system, is planning to merge with a non-Catholic hospital and healthcare system that’s unable to remain open on its own. For Democrats, the fact that Covenant Health won’t provide abortions is a problem:. . .

. . ."Even the AP must concede, though, that Catholic hospitals are not so dogmatic that they’ll let women die rather than perform an abortion. As Sister Mary Haddad, the CHA president explained in an email to the AP, if the mother “suffers from an urgent, life-threatening condition during pregnancy, Catholic health clinicians provide all medically indicated treatment even if it poses a threat to the unborn.' ”
