How to Lose Winnable Elections

 How to Lose Winnable Elections | NoisyRoom.net

"My hope was that the Supreme Court, under the influence of Trump’s three nominees and a “conservative” majority, would contribute to some conservative victories in the months ahead. We saw that come to pass with the rulings on the right to life and Second Amendment rights. But the leaker of the Dobbs decision, returning abortion to the states, is still a mystery.

Investigations are worthless unless you have the committees with the willpower and expertise to get to the bottom of the problem. Congressional liberals abolished the House Internal Security Committee, the successor of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, and Republicans have no plans to bring them back

"That problem, in turn, stems from security risks in Congress. Analyst and author Trevor Loudon reveals that the U.S. Congress has been deeply infiltrated by enemies foreign and domestic. His new book, Security Risk Senators, Part 1, will launch on October 1, 2022.

"Some say the next Congress if Republicans win control of the House, should impeach Biden. What a waste. The Senate will not have enough Republicans to convict. And even if it does, we get President Kamala Harris.

"Republicans didn’t do their job when Barack Hussein Obama was president and set America on this Marxist course. They didn’t impeach him because they didn’t want to be accused of racism for going after America’s first black president.

"Republicans think they can win because of the bad economy. But the Marxist welfare state has hooked many people on federal payments of one sort or another. They look to the Democratic Party for welfare. That includes illegals but many Americans, too.". . .

Democrats have destroyed the "shining city on a hill"

 Kamala Harris vows to deliver race-based Hurricane aid, sparking panic in Florida  "Hell of a time to make that kind of a statement, Kams. According to Christine Pushaw, rapid response director for Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ reelection campaign, the vow to mete out aid based on a hurricane victim's race rather than actual need is sparking "panic" in Florida and quite likely the rest of the southeast which has been affected by it.". . .

UC Berkeley has set up what are essentially ‘Jew-free’ zones on campus - American Thinker   "The University of California, Berkeley, has allowed several student groups—an amalgam of Muslim and leftist organizations—to turn themselves into “Jew-free” zones after they adopted by-laws prohibiting any pro-Israel speakers at events. It doesn’t matter whether the event involves Israel; if you support the Jewish state (and, for now, most Jews still do), you are disallowed.

"The Jewish News of Northern California reported on this initiative a month ago, but it’s now made national headlines because the Daily Mail picked it up. It’s noteworthy that no mainstream American outlets got there before the Daily Mail did. According to the Jewish News:. . ."

Sleep well; our FBI is watching over us

Jim Jordan: FBI Arrest of Pro-Life Father 'Consistent' With DOJ Corruption (dailysignal.com)  “If it’s something to do with satisfying this domestic violent extremism narrative, they’re going to be on it,” he added, saying that the political bias is “even to the point where we had this whistleblower tell us that they’re pulling agents off of child sex trafficking cases to focus on this political narrative and these [domestic violent extremism] cases.”

Asked if he would investigate the Houck case should Republicans get the majority, Jordan told The Daily Signal: “We are definitely going to do everything we can do to get the truth and the facts to the American people about what’s been happening at their Justice Department, the Justice Department they pay for with their tax dollars. The Justice Department is supposed to be focused on equal treatment under the law. We are going to do everything we can to highlight what exactly is going on there.”. . .

Jim Jordan: FBI Is Engaging in Purge of 'Conservative Employees' (townhall.com)

"After recent FBI raids on conservative figures, including the former President of the United States, speculation has grown that the agency is in bed with Democrats. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is alleging that the FBI is engaging in the “purge” of Republican employees who hold conservative viewpoints. In the past several weeks, they've raided the home of a former president, taking the phone of a sitting member of Congress, and we saw what they did to the pastor and his family and seven children: 20 agents, guns drawn, going to his house, when the local officials said there was no crime whatsoever,” Jordan said, criticizing the FBI.". . .

 

Black Lives Matter: An Empty Slogan

 Black Lives Matter: An Empty Slogan - American Thinker  "The status of Black Lives Matter as a credibly alleged race-hustling fraud against the trust of the American people was reinforced during the past week, as reported in "Wilkes-Barre man charged with nearly striking officer, selling crack cocaine."  A nearby crowd nonetheless took the suspect's side during the confrontation: "a crowd gathered and began yelling, 'Black Lives Matter' and hurled expletives toward officers, according to court records."

"The police in question arrested this individual because Black lives matter.  Crack cocaine is just as capable of messing up the lives of a drug-dealer's Black customers as it is of his Caucasian ones.  There are in fact roughly four drug overdose deaths for every homicide in the U.S. (100,000 versus fewer than 25,000), so police who care about all human lives will arrest those of any race who essentially poison their customers, again of any race, for money.

Felon Lives Matter, Black Lives Don't

"This is far from an isolated incident, as perhaps nine out of ten BLM protests, which often escalate to looting and rioting, are on behalf of criminals rather than victims of racially motivated and therefore unlawful abuse.  Wikipedia, for example, links a video of protests over the death of Ma'Khia Bryant, who was shot by a police officer when she menaced another Black woman with a knife.  The innocent Black woman's life mattered to the officer, which is why he shot Bryant.  He tried verbal commands first because Bryant's life also mattered, but, when Bryant forced him to choose between her and her intended victim, he had to use his sidearm.". . .

Trump Suffers Zero Electoral Fallout From FBI’s Mar-A-Lago Raid:

 Trump Suffers Zero Electoral Fallout From FBI’s Mar-A-Lago Raid: I&I/TIPP Poll – Issues & Insights

"Did the Aug. 8 raid on former President Donald Trump’s Florida home damage his electoral chances for 2024 and those of the Republican Party in the upcoming midterm elections? Data from the recent I&I/TIPP Poll suggest the answer is no.

"First of all, comparison data from the I&I/TIPP Polls (one taken of 1,182 registered voters online from August 2-4, the other of 1,145 voters from September 7-9) show that those who thought the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate would badly tarnish his image in the public eye and damage his future prospects were likely wrong.

"For both months, the I&I/TIPP Poll asked voters of both major parties and independents three identical questions: Of Democrats, the poll asked “If the Democratic Presidential primary were held today, who would you vote for?” The same question was asked of Republicans.

"The poll also asked: “What is your preference for the outcome of this November’s congressional elections?”. . .

"They've actually accomplished the opposite of what they set out to do.

"According to the highly reputable and accurate I&I/TIPP, Trump has lost not a whit of popularity with Republican voters since the FBI raid.

The Mar-a-Lago Raid Is the Desperate Act of a Corrupt Establishment | Opinion (newsweek.com)  . . ."Normally, a raid by federal law enforcement is the last resort when all other options for obtaining evidence have failed. It is typically used against drug dealers, mafia bosses, and other dangerous criminals—not people suspected of failing to properly deposit documents with the National Archives. Despite a court order authorizing the raid, there is no indication that any seized material had been subpoenaed, the proper intermediary step before dozens of heavily armed FBI shock troops storm one's home. Even Richard Nixon had the courtesy of a subpoena for his infamous Watergate tapes. When Bill and Hillary

Clinton improperly took gifts and government-owned furniture from the White House, no legal action was forthcoming. As secretary of state, Hillary notoriously exported to her home internet server over 33,000 government emails, which she then deleted and scrubbed in what appeared to be an attempt to avoid an FBI subpoena. The FBI did not raid her house, however, and accepted her and the propagandistic regime media's characterization of the incident as a peccadillo unworthy of law enforcement's attention.". . .

Hillary Slams Everyday Americans as Gullible, Claims They Don't Understand or 'Appreciate' Biden's Accomplishments

Tunnel Dweller understands and appreciates to the fullest what Joe Biden has accomplished.

 Hillary Slams Everyday Americans as Gullible, Claims They Don't Understand or 'Appreciate' Biden's Accomplishments - Analyzing America  . . ."Clinton’s comments join what appears to be a growing trend by Democrats questioning the perception of Americans when it comes to the economic issues that affect their everyday lives. Democrats are facing a potentially difficult midterm cycle next year following a crushing loss in Virginia’s gubernatorial election.

"Earlier this month, Biden appeared to question everyday Americans’ understanding of how the supply chain worked and how it affected the availability of goods and services while answering reporters’ questions at a news conference.

"Biden claimed it was “a confusing time” for Americans.

"Last week, Fox Business host Mike Rowe argued that the media was also playing a significant role in “gaslighting” people across the country when he asserted that they were being told things affecting them, such as high gas prices, weren’t actually happening.

“ 'We’re in a world where people are doing things that we can see, but we’re being told that that’s not happening … And when you start to stack those things up, it’s enough to make you look over your shoulder and think, you know, am I being punked, right?” he said.". . .

No Surprise: 'Liz' Romney Stabs Mike Lee in the Back –

  PJ Media

. . ."Romney, of course, voted to impeach Donald Trump when no viable reason existed. He also allegedly told Joe Biden that he had to run as far back as 2018. Remember that this is the same Biden who railed that Romney would put black people “back in chains” during Romney’s failed presidential run. And does anyone else remember the Romney/Obama debates? Do you remember the first one where Romney came out great guns, won hands down, and then proceeded to tank the following debates like the 1919 Chicago White Sox? Romney has also written that America is in a state of denial and that:

President Joe Biden is a genuinely good man, but he has yet been unable to break through our national malady of denial, deceit, and distrust. A return of Donald Trump would feed the sickness, probably rendering it incurable. Congress is particularly disappointing: Our elected officials put a finger in the wind more frequently than they show backbone against it. Too often, Washington demonstrates the maxim that for evil to thrive only requires good men to do nothing.

"Romney is criticizing elected officials who put a finger in the wind? Really? Really? I’ll wait for the laughter to die down.

"And of course, there was the trial run for Obamacare that Romney put forward while he was governor of Massachusetts.

"Lee has been wisely circumspect about Romney’s betrayal, but Mollie Hemingway has a piece in The Federalist that you can read here.

"I was at the Utah GOP convention when Romney was running for Senator. I voted for his opponent, and Romney was forced into a primary. He won that, I suspect, because he is well known, ran the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake, and was at least nominally LDS. For those of you not in Utah, I assure you that Utah Republicans want Romney out ASAP, and there has been some talk of Jason Chaffetz running for his seat.". . .

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

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

 30 ex-FBI agents stand up to support whistleblower who exposed bias (nypost.com)

"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."
