Gov. DeSantis takes on George Soros

 . . .Tucker Carlson’s opening monologue discusses how the Soros prosecutors are deliberately ignoring and perverting American law and explains how Gov. DeSantis’s actions are a great start to challenging this lawlessness:

American Thinker

DeSantis fires a Soros prosecutor and it’s glorious - American Thinker   "George Soros has been using his vast wealth, either directly or indirectly, to fund campaigns for hard-left prosecutors. Once in office, these prosecutors institute explicit policies that see them refusing to prosecute whole areas of criminal violations because the prosecutors disagree with state or municipal laws. People are finally starting to rebel. In San Francisco, voters booted out Chesa Boudin. In Los Angeles, the county is banning observers from the vote-counting process on the George Gascon recall. And in Florida, Gov. Ron. DeSantis just fired State Attorney Andrew Warren for failing to carry out his duties as a prosecutor.". . .

'This isn't about abortion or any one thing, it's about having accountability to our system of law and order to prosecute crime. There has been a pattern developing in Hillsborough County where one person picks and chooses which laws he wishes to enforce," DeSantis' office stated.

"MEANWHILE - ousted San Francisco "Soros" DA Chesa Boudin announced on Thursday that he won't seek to regain his position in November after being ousted in a June recall.". . .

“I continue to work with my law enforcement counterparts who privately are frustrated with the state attorney, who seems intently focused on empathy for criminals and less interested in pursuing justice for crime victims,” Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said at the press conference. Brian Dugan, the former Tampa police chief, was even more blunt, saying: “Andrew Warren is a fraud…. This is a terrible day, that the governor had to come and clean up our mess.”

What the Biden Administration Wrought in Afghanistan

. . .If China’s leaders doubt Biden’s credibility — and they have plenty of reasons to do so — they may believe they can get away with using force against Taiwan. The greatest crisis of the post–Cold War world may be upon us.

What the Biden Administration Wrought in Afghanistan - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   "We are approaching the one-year anniversary of the collapse of the U.S.-backed Afghan government and its replacement with the Taliban. The Diplomat’s managing editor, Catherine Putz, spoke with Justine Fleischner of Afghan Peace Watch about what has transpired since then. Fleischner’s account is a damning indictment of the Biden administration as human rights abuses accumulate in Afghanistan and transnational terrorist threats reemerge.

"Fleischner noted that the Taliban rule has wrecked an already fragile economy; denied women educational and employment opportunities, access to health care, and freedom of movement; and resulted in the abduction, torture, and killing of at least 500 former members of the Afghan security forces.

"Meanwhile, the Taliban have established diplomatic relations with China, Russia, Pakistan, and Iran. Fleischner said that the Taliban “maintain longstanding ties with a host of regional terrorist groups, including the Pakistani Taliban (TTP), Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), and Kashmiri groups.” Al-Qaeda and ISIS-K are reportedly active within Afghanistan.

"According to Fleischner, the United States appears to lack any strategy for Afghanistan and “seems eager to move on from the botched evacuation effort.” The non-profit organization No One Left Behind, Fleischner noted, estimates that the administration left behind more than 160,000 Afghans who are eligible for Special Immigrant Visas. China, meanwhile, has provided economic support for the Taliban regime and is expected to include Afghanistan in its Belt and Road Initiative.

" 'The Taliban,” Fleischner said, “has clearly prioritized its religious and ideological agenda over the economy and the humanitarian needs of the Afghan people.”

"The Diplomat’s headline reads, “A year after the Taliban retook Afghanistan, economic collapse, human rights abuses, and terrorist threats loom large.”. . .

The alleged wannabe Kavanaugh assassin wasn’t just an ordinary guy

 The alleged wannabe Kavanaugh assassin wasn’t just an ordinary guy - American Thinker

"When Nicholas Roske learned that Roe v. Wade might be overturned, he grabbed a kidnapping and murder kit and headed over to Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house, hoping to make Kavanaugh the first in a trio of Supreme Court justice killings. Thankfully, even though federal and state law enforcement did almost nothing (despite laws on the books) to protect justices from protests at their house (a perfect cover for Roske), Roske was caught in time. Now we’re learning that Roske isn’t just another crazy leftist: He's a crazy leftist who also thinks he’s a woman.

"Andy Ngo got hold of the Court documents in which Roske identifies as a woman named “Sophie”:". . .

. . ." In the above documents, Roske identifies himself as an “MtF” named Sophie—that is, a Male to Female transgender. Pathetically, he seeks a female “cuddle” friend because, despite being a “female,” he’s unable to create sexual friendships with men. Also, quite unsurprisingly, he says he’s “420 friendly,” which means he’s a pot user. Pot, of course, is increasingly associated with psychotic criminality of the type you’d see in a man who thinks he’s a woman and who announces that “I am shooting for 3” Supreme Court justices to “remove” from the Supreme Court.

"There is something very wrong with too many of our young people. They are raised in a world without moral anchors because traditional values, which are fixed have been replaced with virtue signaling and wokeness, which are constantly moving targets."

EMBARRASSING! Ayman al-Zawahiri Killed in Home of 'New York Times contributor


  PJ Media  . . ."Significantly, the Times’ reporting on the killing of al-Zawahiri was stealth-edited to remove any mention of Sirajuddin Haqqani.

New York Post:

Now the Times is being accused of “stealth-editing” their reporting on the killing of al-Zawahri to remove details of the initial report specifically naming Haqqani.

“According to one American analyst, the house that was struck was owned by a top aide to Sirajuddin Haqqani, a senior official in the Taliban government whom American officials say is close to senior Qaeda figures,” the Times wrote in his initial reporting.

However, that paper axed that paragraph without an editor’s note and later replaced it with language that failed to name Haqqani specifically, as first pointed out by Pluribus editor Jeryl Bier.

“After the strike, members of the Haqqani network, a terrorist group that is part of the Taliban government, tried to conceal that Mr. Zawahri had been at the house and restrict access to the site, according to a senior administration official. But the official said the United States had multiple intelligence threads confirming that Mr. Zawahri was killed in the strike,” the Times wrote in the updated story.

Argus Hamilton's Rogue Report -


 Argus Hamilton (jewishworldreview.com)  "National Security Council spokesman Admiral John Kirby addressed reporters and stated there's been no change in America's one-China policy and said there's no reason for tensions. Yet all signs indicate that the U.S. is getting ready to get tough on China. This week we dropped Nancy Pelosi on them.

 Nancy Pelosi was escorted to Taiwan by five U.S. fighter jets while China's army mobilized on the opposite shore. She risked starting a nuclear war to enjoy center stage. I know that if I were a Millennial, nothing scares me like an eighty-two-year-old politician who's willing to die for her country.

 The U.S. Treasury sanctioned Putin's girlfriend Alina Kabaevea over her proximity to Putin. She's a stunningly beautiful Olympic gymnast and a rich media oligarch. Men, I've been searching the news all week for one woman in politics who's worth starting a nuclear war over, and I think we've found her.

 The White House issued a statement thanking the CIA and as well as allies in the Middle East for their work in tracking down a legendary terrorist holed up in Afghanistan's capital city of Kabul. Al Qaeda chieftain Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed by a drone. Finally Amazon got a delivery right.

 The CIA launched a drone missile that killed Al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri on his balcony in Kabul. They said it's a new missile that doesn't explode, but slices through the target with rotating blades. Leave it to the Americans to invent a missile that kills the terrorist but spares the patio furniture.". . .

Sorry I Murdered You With My 'Hate Speech'

Ann Coulter  

But like Strossen, I believe in free speech. It's not the "hate speech" that bothers me; it's the physical violence and intentional race discrimination against white Americans that's beginning to get on my nerves

 "It's not every day that I praise a book by the former head of the American Civil Liberties Union, let alone the longest-serving president of that organization. 

"But I was delighted to have Nadine Strossen on my Substack recently to talk about her book, "HATE: Why We Should Resist It With Free Speech, Not Censorship" -- and not just because I am one of America's leading "hate speakers." (Oh, settle down, girls. That's according to woke college liberals, the only humans more infantile and narcissistic than Donald Trump.) 

Her book is a thoroughgoing, no-holds-barred defense of free speech. This makes her the rarest of creatures: a principled liberal. We should get her DNA in a lab and study it. 

"Being a liberal herself, Strossen pitches her argument to the left. That's fortunate, I'd say: These days, the most enthusiastic advocates for censorship are liberals. 

"Thus, she repeatedly notes that censorship has historically been used by the powerful to crush the "marginalized."

" I couldn't agree more! On the other hand, the two of us have very different ideas about who's "marginalized." 

"Strossen means feminists, gays, Muslims, blacks, Hispanics, immigrants, transgenders, nonbinaries and so on, whereas I mean everybody else, to wit: "cisgendered" white Americans.

" Not a certified victim? Don't even think of applying to Harvard, Princeton or Yale -- unless you've made a spectacle of yourself carrying on about gun control. Don't be funny, use hyperbole or engage in any conversation at all with bratty East Coast private-school kids on a college resume-building trip to Peru. (See Pulitzer Prize-winning science reporter Donald McNeil, fired by The New York Times for this reckless error.)

"Every time I'd read a description of this or that "hate speech" ban in Strossen's book, what leapt to mind wasn't someone saying only women have two X chromosomes, but the nonstop venom that is directed at white people.". . .

New York Times' Paul Krugman blasted for touting 'Biden boom'

 

NY Post   "New York Times economic columnist Paul Krugman got blasted on social media on Tuesday after he insisted the US economy is enjoying a “Biden boom” — despite a recession and record levels of inflation.

"The Nobel Prize-winning professor posted a chart comparing the cumulative number of jobs added during the first two-and-a-half years of President Biden’s term and the four years in which his predecessor, Donald Trump, was in office.

"Krugman then doubled down on his insistence that the US is not in the midst of a recession.

“ 'The problem may be that the Biden economy boomed *too much*, feeding inflation, and that it now needs to cool off, which may involve a recession (but hasn’t yet),” he tweeted. “But the basic fact is that so far the Biden economy has added 9 million jobs. So it has been a jobs boom, whatever else you may say.' ”. . .

Taiwan: What Was Pelosi Thinking? -


The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan was deliberate act of provocation whose only justification was hubris and personal vanity

"Pelosi knows well the rising anger of the American electorate that has been brought about by many of the current administration’s actions: the incompetent and hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan completed so that President Joe Biden could make a somber announcement last Nov. 11; the raging inflation of over 9 percent and the disingenuous explanation of its full causes; the preposterous effort to differentiate between the technical and common definitions of a recession; the pandering to influential progressives such as Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who would end air travel, replace or upgrade buildings, and protect even those unwilling to work with her “Green New Deal” estimated to “cost between $51 trillion and $93 trillion over ten years”; a distracting obsession with identity politics, including the debate over pronouns and what constitutes gender; the introduction of critical race theory even into the U.S. military; the drive to teach sexual orientation and identity in elementary curricula; an unprecedented wave of unauthorized immigration; the inability of Vice President Kamala Harris to express herself cogently; and questions about the overall ability and stamina of the president.

"This is not a glowing report card, and Pelosi must sense that so many of the American people are now saying, “Enough.” Indeed, many observers are predicting a massive Republican sweep of the House in November.

"Against such an array of negativity, Pelosi must be hoping to protect her legacy as a politician and staunch defender of human rights, especially if she will no longer be speaker of the House come November. Indeed, Pelosi has a history of expressing opposition to Beijing: In 1991, she left her entourage without Chinese escorts and unfurled a banner in Tiananmen Square, supporting those demonstrators killed there.". . .

Does America's newest political party stand a chance?

 The Week


"Dozens of former Republicans and Democrats have joined forces to launch Forward, a new centrist political party. Its founders include Andrew Yang, the onetime Democratic presidential candidate; Christine Todd Whitman, the former Republican governor of New Jersey; and David Jolly, a former GOP congressman from Florida.

" 'Political extremism is ripping our nation apart, and the two major parties have failed to remedy the crisis," Yang, Whitman, and Jolly wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post. In the last two years, there has been a "spike in political intimidation," they said, and "if nothing is done, the United States will not reach its 300th birthday this century in recognizable form." The op-ed cited a 2021 Gallup poll that found half of U.S. adults identify as independent and 62 percent believe the Democratic and Republican parties "do such a poor job representing the American people that a third party is needed.'

Why Are There So Many Idiots in Politics?

 


Why Are There So Many Idiots in Politics? (townhall.com)
You can’t help people who won’t help themselves, and there must come a point at which you have to stop trying. If these cities keep electing horrible, corrupt politicians or straight up morons, they have to deal with the consequences.


You really have to wonder who ran against some of these morons in political office sometimes. Honestly, was the alternative to someone like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being forced to step on a rusty nail? Was Eric Swalwell’s opponent a literal cannibal promising to consume children if elected? If you set out to elect some of the dumbest creatures to ever walk upright on the planet, you couldn’t do much better than what Democrats currently have serving in Congress and the White House. Why? 

"There is no good answer, at least one that covers everyone. "There are, after all, a lot of really dumb Democrats in office. You have to ascribe some of it to identity politics, which is the polite way of saying racism, but the rest of it has to be tied to people’s desires to be pandered and lied to. A fish swallows a hook because it wants the worm, dumb people see pandering the way a fish sees that worm.

"Look, there have always been, and will always be, dumb people in the world. But you don’t give them power the way Democrats have. You hold them off with promises and distract them with shiny objects because they’re stupid." . . .
