The Tesla-driving Stephen Colbert

 I have had contempt for this man beginning the night he bullied President George W. Bush during the 2006 correspondents Dinner, knowing Mr. Bush could not respond. TD

 ·in Quora: "Colbert has always been political, but the Colbert Report used sophisticated and clever humor that was layered and always pretty fresh. He appealed to a more sophisticated crowd back then. Many conservatives knew he was mocking them but he did it in ways that were original and clever. Very few conservatives were dumb enough to treat his character as sincere. Conservatives are used to dealing with entertainment that constantly mocks them and can laugh at themselves if the jokes are good and delivered cleverly.

"But Colbert simply appeals to the least common denominator on network tv. He didn't have the foresight to see that constant jokes about a President who leaves no subtext to be gleaned (and is therefore almost impossible to satirize) make for boring tv that is only entertaining to a small subset of people obsessed with Trump. He became the “Angry About Trump Show" and boxed himself in to now catering to an audience who want political hack slop fed to them every night."

Tucker Carlson Rips Stephen Colbert as an Unfunny 'Karen' (mediaite.com). . ."Carlson aired footage of a number of Jan. 6 rioters engaged in bizarre behavior. He concluded Colbert’s inability to find a joke in it is proof he has “zero sense of humor.” Carlson commented, The guy’s not a comedian. You watch a comedian and think, “That guy’s hilarious I would love to meet him.” Imagine eating a meal with Stephen Colbert. Chances are you’d somehow offend him over the course of a typical dinner by something he finds offensive. What are the chances of that? 100%. Stephen Colbert is a Karen, he’s a brittle middle-aged woman who’s always lecturing you about something. In fact, he’s Elizabeth Warren.

Dear Mr. Colbert: Me so stupid. You so funny! (By Asian Michelle Malkin)

Asians are also convenient, "uncool" punching bags. Unlike offended Muslim fanatics (see "The Mohammed Cartoons"), they're not going to issue fatwas, threaten beheadings or blow themselves up. Coward Colbert and his cable news persona would never dare offend the jihad-friendly brigade at CAIR; the only jabs he takes are at "Islamophobe" conservatives who worry about the poisonous spread of sharia law.

‘Full Monty Mussolini’: Biden’s Primetime Speech Mocked, Slammed On Social Media

 ‘Full Monty Mussolini’: Biden’s Primetime Speech Mocked, Slammed On Social Media | The Daily Caller  "President Joe Biden’s Thursday evening speech targeting supporters of former President Donald Trump was mocked on social media, with many users poking fun at the stage.

"The speech, held in Philadelphia, marked continued attacks on supporters of Trump, reiterating earlier attacks in which he claimed Republicans embraced “semi-fascism” at an Aug. 25 fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee in Maryland, and also attacked “MAGA Republicans” during a Tuesday speech in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Biden called “MAGA Republicans” a threat to democracy and doubled down on his rhetoric calling supporters of former President Donald trump “extremists.”

The Pious Theatrics of the Treasonous Left -

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  

"Hillary Clinton, unlike Donald Trump, didn’t possess the power to declassify top secret documents as Barack Obama’s secretary of state. But the ruling class shrugged at her careless handling of them. Former FBI Director James Comey pompously and unilaterally declared that “no reasonable” prosecutor would bring a case against her. Now, this same elite is hysterically shrieking over an alleged foot fault of even less significance — that Trump, while enjoying the power to declassify documents, didn’t follow the exact protocols for doing so. This, we’re told, is a sufficient reason for a nation-roiling criminal trial against a former president.The pious theatrics over this trivial technical dispute — from the solemn chin-wagging on MSNBC to the empty hype on the Drudge Report — are impossible to take seriously unless you accept the partisan premise underlying them, namely, that Trump is a uniquely illegitimate president. Out of this demented partisanship has come such breathless headlines as: “Was Trump Selling Access to Top Secret Documents?”

"Once again, the least patriotic Americans — the liberals who cheer boycotting of the flag and want America to surrender its sovereignty to the United Nations and global leftists — are accusing the most patriotic president since Ronald Reagan of treason. They still haven’t apologized for the wildly tendentious Mueller probe, which upended American politics for almost two years, and now demand a national ordeal over this feeble matter.". . .

American Thinker: Biden's teetering house of cards

 Biden's malodorous speech on Thursday, bathed in communist red light, was bloodcurdling in its ramifications. AT

Biden's teetering house of cards - American Thinker   . . ."On day one of his administration, Biden put an end to the energy independence achieved under Trump.  He canceled the Keystone Pipeline and cut off most new drilling and fracking on federal land.  That single action kicked off the highest inflation in forty years; our economy depends first and foremost on fuel.  Biden pretends there is a climate crisis (there is not), but he will spend billions on green projects, billions that will end up in the pockets of grifters like all those companies who got millions from the Obama administration, companies like Solyndra.  The companies fail; the money disappears.". . .

Biden's hateful rhetoric against Americans presents the GOP with a sterling opportunity - American Thinker

Biden delivered his "soul" speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

The manner of delivery was unhinged; he frequently waved his fists aggressively.  His voice was hoarse, perhaps owing to recent bouts with COVID-19, giving the speech a scornful tone. 

Biden spoke flanked by uniformed Marines, while his backdrop was bathed in blood-red hues making it look ominously like a hellscape.

 Joe Biden has no claim to the soul of America - American Thinker  "I didn't know I was a MAGA Republican until I heard Joe Biden bash MAGA Republicans.  Never before have I felt such disgust and shame for my country.

"The divider-in-chief, the man known for his history of plagiarism, corruption, and lies upon lies, tells the nation it's his duty as president to tell the truth, and then he lies again.  "MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution, they do not believe in the rule of law, they do not recognize the will of the people.  They refuse to accept the results of a free election."

"That's when it hit me.  He knows.  Then he mentioned the votes of 81 million people, and I felt sick.  It's not just a speech to influence an upcoming election.". . .

Woke Bed Bath & Beyond to shutter 150 stores and cut workforce

 Woke Bed Bath & Beyond to shutter 150 stores and cut workforce – PJ Media

According to CNBC, the retailer announced this week that it will close down 150 namesake stores, as well as plans to hand out pink slips to a whopping 20% of its workforce, mostly in the supply chain and corporate sectors of the business.

" The moves were announced ahead of an expected investor update on Wednesday in the company’s seemingly desperate bid to stay afloat. 

"As you’ll recall, BBB made headlines in early 2021 after it was confirmed by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell that the retailer had canceled his legendary MyPillow line at the same time he was involved with conservative activism on behalf of former President Donald Trump, specifically working on issues related to election fraud claims. At the time, Business Insider reported: Bed Bath & Beyond has cut ties with My Pillow, the pillow manufacturing company founded by Trump supporter Mike Lindell, the retailer confirmed to Insider.

" Lindell first reported the retailer axing his products, telling a Fox News affiliate and right-wing media outlet RSBN about stores dropping the brand. In the interviews, Lindell attributed the retailer’s decision to social media pressure led by “leftist groups.” “They’re trying to cancel companies now,” he told RSBN.". . .

Lindell Gets Last Laugh: Bed Bath and Beyond Closes Up More Shops After Break Up With Popular ‘My Pillow’ | FRONTLINE AMERICA    . . ."Recall, in 2021, when CNN  Business reported that Bed Bath and Beyond had stopped selling My Pillow products after the pressure received from leftist Cancel Culture mobs- to discontinue their association with Mike Lindell because of Lindell’s support of President Donald J. Trump.

"In their reporting, CNN took the opportunity of highlighting Bed Bath and Beyond’s business decisions to stop selling a handful of products, at the time, to insert their anti-Trump propaganda about Lindell.;"And it seems that Bed Bath and Beyond never recovered or tried to recover from the political messaging that CNN put on their product. Bed Bath and Beyond was branded as Anti-Trump, anti-America First, and anti–Republican   "CNN saw that as a winning strategy for Bed Bath and Beyond and harmful to My Pillow.   "Nevertheless, while My Pillow business has surged ahead- Bed Bath and Beyond has collapsed."

Judging Biden's diatribe

 First and foremost I was disgusted by Biden's use of the Marines and the Presidential Seal in this speech. The implication was that the US Marine Corps supported his words and stood with him in this accusation made by the government of the United States and with the vitriol in the words and facial expressions of this dangerous man.  TD

Biden’s Hail Mary Fascist Speech - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics "By every metric, Joe Biden is a failed president, and that’s less than two years into his terrible tenure. Tonight, he will spend his time speaking to the nation doing what he does best: insulting everyone. He’ll accuse his enemies of being fascists, insulting them. He’ll reveal his supporters to be fatuous fools, insulting them.   Here’s a list of things that Biden can’t talk about honestly:

• Inflation
• Job creation
• Recession
• Closed schools
• Foreign policy
• COVID
• Vaccines
• Border crisis. . .

Excerpts of Joe Biden's Speech Released - A Complete Assault on MAGA and American Patriotism (thegatewaypundit.com)

Patterico's Pontifications

Joe Biden delivers “one of the most menacing, bitter, angry and divisive speeches in modern US political history” (legalinsurrection.com)    "Joe Biden’s speech tonight, claiming to be a presidential address demanding free network coverage, was so far over the top its almost indescribable. It wasn’t just an attack on another candidate, it was a Declaration of War in demonic terms on the roughly half of the electorate who voted for that candidate.

"Nile Gardener had it right:

“Joe Biden’s address in Philadelphia tonight is one of the most menacing, bitter, angry and divisive speeches in modern US political history. Hard to believe that a US president can stoop to this level, condemning tens of millions of Americans as enemies and a threat to democracy.”. . .

Teen Girl Enthusiasms: Twitching, Cutting, and Trans

 Ann Coulter

"Remember the twitching girls in upstate New York?

" About a decade ago, more than a dozen teen girls, crazed with puberty and hormones, developed a weird medical condition. Despite the utter scientific implausibility of their alleged illness, the mania soon spread to other girls at their school. And then it all just disappeared, giving us a road map for dealing with teenaged girls today, who demand the right to mutilate their sexual organs and inject themselves with infertility-inducing drugs. 

"We'll get back to the twitching girls. First a political point. 

"At brunch this weekend, a couple remarked, with some irritation, that in any gathering of Republicans, everybody always starts talking about transgenders. Evidently, it's not just Republicans. The same topic was vexing Democrats at brunch the next day. The couple's point was: STOP TALKING ABOUT TEENAGE TRANSGENDERS! On the other hand, any politician with three functioning brain cells will hear the same story and think, The electorate is inflamed! I better start talking about transgenders! It's nothing big, just the greatest medical malpractice in history currently being perpetrated on America's youth.". . .

Why Obama Is Out to Get Trump

 Why Obama Is Out to Get Trump | NoisyRoom.net   "Professor Jonathan Turley was on Fox saying he had supported the confirmation of Merrick Garland as Attorney General but now says he is disappointed in Garland’s political pursuit of Trump. Turley still doesn’t get it.   Garland is an agent of Barack Hussein Obama, who approved Hillary’s plan to launch the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation of Trump.

"Turley is the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at The George Washington University Law School who once gave testimony denouncing “Eugene McCarthyism” before Congress. He was supposed to be an expert on “disinformation and extremism in the media.”

"McCarthy’s first name was Joe, not Eugene. Eugene was a peacenik Democrat.

"The Fox channel calls him a “constitutional scholar.”

"Every day the media talk about Trump, in terms of a secret affidavit authorizing the FBI raid, the Marxists win. What we should be talking about is the Marxist president who got us into this mess and was briefed on Hillary’s Russia-gate plan by his CIA chief, John Brennan.

"Two-term president Barack Hussein Obama is a not-so-secret Marxist whose communist proclivities were carefully concealed from the American people. Brennan’s Marxist proclivities were out in the open since he had talked about voting for the Communist Party as a college student.

"It was Obama, as president, who had to approve Russia-gate. He also happened to be the president who tried to get Garland on the Supreme Court.

Who Are You Calling A Fascist, Mr. President?

 Who Are You Calling A Fascist, Mr. President? (thefederalist.com)  "The other day Joe Biden accused voters of the opposition party of turning to “semi-fascism.” This is probably the first time in American history a president has openly attacked the opposing party’s constituents in this way. Grammatically speaking, the accusation could use a little work. What Biden probably meant to say was that 74 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump in 2020 are “quasi-fascist” or “increasingly fascistic.”

"Then again, Biden, who once alleged that the chaste Mitt Romney was harboring a desire to bring back chattel slavery, is prone to stupid hyperbole. And it’s true that most people who throw around the word “fascist” fail to do so with much precision.* Anyway, our president will probably further explain his thinking on the matter of “semi-fascism” when he gives a prime-time speech about threats to our “democracy” this Thursday—a week after he broke millions of existing contracts and unilaterally “forgave” student loans by executive decree. Biden has engaged in historic and unprecedented abuses of White House power. Sometimes, the chutzpah is staggering.

"These days, the word “democracy,” like “fascism,” has lost all meaning. According to Democrats, asking someone to show ID before voting is an attack on “democracy,” but so is the Supreme Court’s handing back power to voters on the abortion issue. When you have no limiting principles of governance, anything that inhibits your exertion of power is seen as anti-“democracy.” If students have loans to be paid, “forgive” them. If you can’t pass a bill, the executive branch should do it by fiat. If the court stops it, pack it. Power is only to be limited when the opposition holds it. When Donald Trump wants to divert money to secure the southern border, it evokes images of 1930s Germany. When Barack Obama unilaterally bestows amnesty on millions of newcomers, without any debate or due process, it is just and moral … and shut up racists.

"A microcosm of this confused thinking can be found in the recent spate of hysterical media pieces about alleged Republican “book banning.” The use of “ban” by the media is more than a category error, it’s an effort to paint parents who use the very same exact democratic
powers the left has relied on for decades as book burners. Public school curricula and book selection are political questions decided by school and library boards. Neither have a duty to carry every single volume on racial identitarianism or sexually explicit material simply demanded by some busybody at the American Library Association. We can debate whether these books are harmful or not, but it is neither fascism nor authoritarian to make those decisions.". . .

They Want Her Dead: Marjorie Taylor Greene Swatted for Second Night in a Row

The Gateway Pundit

  FrontpageMag  . . ."As Stephen Green reported Wednesday, the first caller told cops that someone had been shot inside Greene’s home. The Rome News-Tribune said that the call led cops to think “a man who had been shot multiple times was in the bathtub at Greene’s home. The caller also stated there was a woman inside the home and possibly children with her. When officers arrived, Greene assured them there was no issue at the home.”

"For that call, we know the motive. The Rome Police Department stated: “After we cleared the call and went back in service, Rome-Floyd 911 received a call from the suspect, claiming responsibility for the incident and explaining his/her motives. It was a computer generated voice. They explained they were upset about Ms. Greene’s stance on ‘trans-gender youth’s rights,’ and stated they were trying to ‘swat’ her. The report also stated that the caller claimed they are connected to a website that police said supports cyberstalking and gave the police their user name on the site.”

"This makes it clear yet again: radical Leftists are totalitarians. They want their opponents silenced. They want their opponents dead. They will brook no dissent.

"Greene’s spokesman Nick Dyer said: “Right now, Congresswoman Greene’s safety is our number one concern. Late last night, she was a victim of a political attack on her family and home. Whoever committed this violent crime will face the full extent of the law.” To that, MSN sneered that “a statement from Greene’s office… described the calls as ‘violent crimes’ even though no violence occurred.”

"It’s only conservative speech that is violent, you see. Leftists actively trying to fool cops into committing an act of violence and kill a sitting congresswoman? That’s not violence. Violence is only something the other side engages in.". . .
