Kevin McCarthy is a purely political man and that’s not what America needs

 Kevin McCarthy is a purely political man and that’s not what America needs - American Thinker

"Kevin McCarthy seems like a nice man—but if Republicans win in November, should he be speaker of the House? I don’t think so. He doesn’t seem to understand the movement he is, at least ostensibly, leading.

"Donald Trump was an easy choice in the ‘16’ and ‘20’ primaries. The reason is simple. He is the real deal. What you see is what you get. You may not like who he is, but you do know who he is and if he makes a campaign promise, you can be certain he’ll do his best to keep it. He is genuine.

"The same can’t be said for Kevin McCarthy. He has the syrupy, sweet tone of a pure-bred politician. It smacks of duplicity and expediency. I don’t believe he could change that if he tried. He uses phrases like “we will allow you” and “we will give you” in much the same way that leftist swamp creatures talk. He does not comprehend that it is we the people who will allow him. He comes across as an elitist who has the whole, uniquely American, servant and boss political arrangement completely backward.". . .

What Do They Think This Is? A Free Country?

The message from the Biden Administration is loud and clear: espouse anti-abortion views, or any views contrary to the regime’s, and you stand a good chance of finding a phalanx of agents with semi-automatics at your door. This is not the U.S.A.

New Details of Outrageous FBI Raid on Catholic Activist Mark Houck Shock the Conscience – RedState  . . ."We’ve seen the amphibious assault on Roger Stone, the Mar-a-Lago raid, and so many other examples of the use of disproportionate force against non-violent “suspects.” To me, this latest raid is the scariest of all, because it was against an everyday citizen—it could be you or me—who was involved in what could at most be described as a minor incident. "The message from the Biden Administration is loud and clear: espouse anti-abortion views, or any views contrary to the regime’s, and you stand a good chance of finding a phalanx of agents with semi-automatics at your door. This is not the U.S.A."

 Jack-booted thugs  . . ."Polls show 70 percent of you support the current ban on Internet gambling.

"Why? It’s true, for some people, gambling becomes addictive. Some wreck their lives. But for most people, gambling is entertainment, practice in using strategy and an excuse to socialize. A little risk is fun. And the laws don’t stop the activity. They drive it underground, where it’s run by criminals.

"If we banned every activity that had the potential to become addictive, we’d have to ban fatty foods, sex, alcohol and investing in the stock market. Life means risk.

"Sometimes puritans want to ban things without any evidence that the activity is harmful. After every mass shooting, someone wants to tax, or ban, violent video games.

"Yet violent offenses by youth fell by more than half over the past two decades, while video game sales doubled. If there’s a causal relationship, maybe playing video games prevents kids from behaving violently.". . .

President 'Devout Catholic' goes full goon on Catholic pro-lifer protester - American Thinker   By Monica Showalter; "When Jeffrey Epstein was finally arrested after a long history of sex-trafficking of underage girls, he was met by a small contingent of FBI agents (and cops) at Teterboro airport in 2019 and taken away.

"When Mark Houck, a Catholic lay minister, got into a confrontation with a self-described "escort" at an abortion facility and pushed the man away after he spewed foul language at his 12-year-old son and violated the kid's personal space, well, he got the SWAT team. 

"According to Catholic News Agency:

"A SWAT team of about 25 came to my house with about 15 vehicles and started pounding on our door," Houck's wife, Ryan-Marie Houck, told CNA on Friday, just hours after her husband's arrest.

"They said they were going to break in if he didn't open it. And then they had about five guns pointed at my husband, myself, and basically at my kids," she
added.

 

30 ex-FBI agents stand up to support whistleblower who exposed bias

"Thirty former FBI agents, including a retired deputy assistant director, head of counterterrorism and five SWAT team members, have spoken out publicly in support of suspended FBI whistleblower Stephen Friend.

"Their heartfelt messages, obtained exclusively by The Post, show a deep and widespread anguish about the politicization of the FBI.

“ 'It’s time to stop the FBI from being the enforcer of a political party’s ideology,” says Ernie Tibaldi, a retired agent from San Francisco. “We need to re-establish the FBI as the apolitical and independent law enforcement entity that it always was.”

"He expressed gratitude to Friend “for having the courage to stand up to the corruption that has taken over the leadership of the FBI.”

"Many former agents hailed Friend, a SWAT team member in Florida, as a “hero” after he was punished for refusing to participate in what he regarded as unnecessarily heavy-handed SWAT raids over Jan. 6 misdemeanors. 

"In his whistleblower complaint to the Department of Justice inspector general, Friend alleged that the FBI has been manipulating case-file management in order to falsely inflate the threat of domestic terrorism, and using unconstitutional excessive force against political dissenters.". . .

Ginni Thomas Shuts Down Misconduct Claims In Voluntary Testimony Before J6 Panel

The Federalist   "Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, a longtime conservative activist married to Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, decisively closed the door on unsubstantiated claims of improper influence over her husband’s work Thursday in voluntary testimony before the House Select Committee on Jan. 6.

“ 'Regarding the 2020 election, I did not speak with him at all about the details of my volunteer campaign activities. And I did not speak with him at all about the details of my post-election activities, which were minimal, in any event. I am certain I never spoke with him about any of the legal challenges to the 2020 election, as I was not involved with those challenges in any way,” Thomas said at the beginning of her testimony earlier today.

"In March, Thomas was thrust into the spotlight of the committee’s investigation after staff leaked messages between her and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. According to texts published by liberal media outlets such as CNN and The Washington Post, Thomas, a private citizen, urged Meadows to stand firm after the November election as President Donald Trump contested the results.". . .

Michelle Obama, professional victim

 WATCH: Michelle Obama Tells Crowd She's A Sex Symbol, Instantly BLOWS UP In Her Face   "In the video below, Moochelle tells the crowd about her struggles growing up as a black woman. She bitched about sexism and racism and all the other garbage these scumbags complain about.

"She bitched about growing up and being objectified and said that she was something of a sex symbol because she was often cat called and whistled at by people.". . .

. . . “Teachers didn’t think I was smart enough, and would call on the boys instead of the girls – even though the girls had better grades. People thought a girl shouldn’t have ambition, and they would ask my brother what career he planned to have but would ask me what kind of man I wanted to marry,” Obama said in the speech.

“ 'As I got older, I found that men would whistle at me or make comments about how I looked as I walked down the street. As if my body were their property. As if I were an object to be commented on instead of a full human being with thoughts and feelings of my own.”
Many viewers expressed disbelief that the First Lady implied that she was something of a sex symbol.

“ 'If there had not been a video with her actually saying this I wouldn’t have believed she could have that big an ego. Is there no end to this woman’s huge self-importance? Obviously she had this ego before becoming the First Lady and it has only grown exponentially. Time for her to take her final bow and leave the limelight,” one person commented."

Venezuela's Welfare Has Run Out. Now They Want Ours

 Venezuela's Welfare Has Run Out. Now They Want Ours (townhall.com)

The massive news coverage of Gov. Ron DeSantis' "political stunt" of sending 50 illegal aliens to Martha's Vineyard reminds me of the media's "political stunt" of referring to illegals as "legal asylum-seekers." 

"Number one: They broke into our country. They're illegal aliens. 

"Number two: All asylum claims are frauds. Every single one. Asylum is nothing but a conveyer belt to bring the worst people on Earth to our shores.

"You say you turned your own country into a hellhole? Fantastic! Come right in! No one gets asylum from a well-run country. Why would we want to admit people who have demonstrated the wisdom, foresight and diligence to produce a functioning society? 

"Rewards await only those who've participated in the creation of complete disaster zones. (Just think of what these great thinkers could do for our country!) 

"Take the Venezuelan illegal aliens whom DeSantis sent to Martha's Vineyard.

" Biden's press secretary and human kewpie doll, Karine Jean-Pierre, repeatedly referred to the briefly loved illegals as "people who are fleeing communism, who are fleeing hardship ... desperate people -- people who are trying to come here because they're fleeing communism themselves." 

"How did Venezuela become communist again? 

"As The Martha's Vineyard Times explained (once the illegals were safely expelled and the island fumigated), Venezuela's "humanitarian crisis" resulted from that country's "complicated political and socioeconomic history." 

"Actually, it's not that complicated. Poor people in Venezuela voted for it. 

"Oh boy, did they vote for it. The ridiculous peasant Hugo Chavez promised Venezuela's poor that he would take vengeance on the rich -- "the squalid ones" -- and give their stuff to the poor. 

"Millions of poor people responded: YESSSSS!!! 

"Beginning in 1998, and five times after that, the poor came out in droves to support this clown.

" Fist pumping! Dancing in the streets! Red shirts as far as the eye could see". . .

Biden and the Loss of Respect for America

 Biden and the Loss of Respect for America - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   "With friends like President Joe Biden, you don’t need many enemies. Biden made his bid to become the most militarily incompetent American president in history during the Afghan fiasco last August. He may lock in that distinction with his lukewarm support of Ukraine in its war with Russia.

"Putin’s contempt for the irresolute American president has been validated in the past month. The Russians have adjusted their tactics to compensate for the poor performance of their troops and inept leadership by their generals by switching from a maneuver warfare approach to one of artillery-heavy attrition. Biden’s dithering response has not kept up and the Ukrainians are suffering unnecessary casualties as well as losing ground. In addition, our

president insulted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by claiming that he ignored Biden’s warnings about an imminent invasion in February. True or not, that accusation did not have to be made at this point.

"The Russians have far more artillery and ammunition than their opponents. In a war of firepower attrition, the side with the most artillery and ammunition wins. It is a simple arithmetic problem, and Biden has proven incapable of doing the math. Kyiv officials estimate that the city needs at least 40 HIMARS long-range rocket launchers and the required ammunition to put them to use. The Biden administration has provided four. Meanwhile, our commander-in-chief is wringing its hands over the possibility that some rounds will land on Russian soil. In this, Biden is making the same mistake that another militarily incompetent Democratic president — Lyndon B. Johnson — made in allowing the North Vietnamese sanctuary on their own soil.

"In addition, the Ukrainians are running short on ammunition for the conventional artillery pieces that they already have. One American excuse is that most of the Ukrainian artillery is Russian caliber rather than NATO standard. The concept of retooling some American factories during a time of near recession to make up the difference seems to be beyond the imagination of our president and his advisers.". . .

Do Democrats even know what a fascist is?

 

Why the right is forbidden to defend itself from leftist attacks - American Thinker

. . ."Let's take those one at a time:

The use of street thugs — Has she heard of Antifa and BLM?

The false claims of victimhood by a group persecuting others — As in Biden and the "Democratic" party.

The abhorrence of democracy — Which side is trying to cheat by bringing in millions of extra voters over the open border?  Which side is trying to cheat by eliminating voting safeguards — voter ID, in-person voting?

The repression of media in favor of state propaganda — Perhaps she should look into the activities of the Washington Post and the rest of the nation's socialist media in suppressing competitors with all kinds of "fact checks" on them and having them banned from social media.

The elimination of independent institutions — Is she referring to the government schools that have become indoctrination centers?

The slow and methodical scheme to turn one people into pariahs — see Biden's demonic diatribe against MAGA Republicans.". . .

Remembering Hate Speech

 

Remembering Hate Speech; Victor Davis Hanson

What we used to know as “hate speech” is now presidentially acceptable speech, and what has followed from it is no surprise.

"It has been a canard of the Left that “words matter.” We are lectured that “hate speech” leads inevitably to street violence.

"So how ironic that the Left defames nearly half of America as dangerous “semi-fascist” extremists, white-raged and privileged, ultra MAGA, and guilty of all sorts of thought crimes from secession to civil insurrection? And what is the result?

"Does this constant demonization matter? And what are the bitter fruits of such labors? After all, what did Barack Obama long ago mean by “clingers” or once Hillary Clinton by “deplorables”  and “irredeemables”?

"What did Joe Biden imply by “dregs” and “chumps” and “semi-fascists”? Or what did the FBI lovebirds really mean by smelly Walmart goers and “hillbillies”? After a point, did not America get this monotonous message?

"And what does Joe Biden really mean when he recycles his academic advisors’ tired tropes of right-wing insurrectionists threatening the republic?. . .

American Blacks and the Wawa mob in Philadelphia

 American Blacks and the Wawa mob in Philadelphia - American Thinker

“What shall be done with the four million slaves if they are emancipated? [snip] Our answer is, do nothing with them; mind your business, and let them mind theirs. Your doing with them is their greatest misfortune. They have been undone by your doings, and all they now ask, and really have need of at your hands, is just to let them alone. They suffer by every interference, and succeed best by being let alone.” – Frederick Douglass (1862).

"Since the dawn of the Democrat party, Democrats have proven themselves incapable of leaving Blacks alone. During the years of open racism, they enslaved Blacks and then subjected them to Jim Crow. Since Jim Crow, they’ve done something more pernicious: They’ve destroyed many Blacks’ identity as equal citizens in America. The result is feral behavior such as that most recently seen at the Wawa in Philadelphia. This is not about race; it’s about culture and how the Democrats have destroyed it.

"If you want a detailed timeline of the Democrat party’s depredation against Blacks in America—not just attacks on personal and economic liberty, but also on the cultural core of Black Americans—I highly recommend Bob Parks’ The Democrat Race Lie, which has a long list of Democrat and Republican policies regarding American Blacks. What’s remarkably clear about the Democrats is that they refuse to heed Frederick Douglass’s impassioned plea to leave Blacks alone.

'Democrat politics is about criminalizing opposition'

 Just The News  "Dissenting ideas are 'disinformation' and must be censored by Big Tech," Greenwald says.

"Journalist Glenn Greenwald is criticized the Democratic Party, calling members authoritarians trying to criminalize their opposition. 

"After The Prospect managing editor Ryan Cooper complained about Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz not being indicted with in a sex-trafficking probe, Greenwald, co-founder of The Intercept,  responded with his criticism. 

" 'Chickens*** club," Cooper tweeted.

"Greenwald replied in a retweet: "This is a perfect illustration of how authoritarian so many Democrats are. ". . .
