Whenever Democrats “think of the children,” they hurt them

Bookworm Room

Is there any Democrat policy that hasn’t caused profound harm to America’s children?

UK's 'Youngest Drag Queen' Performs For Thousands

"One thing that Democrats routinely do is claim that their policies are for children’s benefit. “It’s for the children” or “think of the children” or “saving children” are concepts that they use as their narrative platforms. I was thinking, though, of what Democrats have done for our children, and I just don’t see the goodness in any of it:

"'Democrats have told black children that the laws are racist and police are evil. The result is that a generation of Black children believes that a life of criminality is a fight against racism. Sure, it’s fun to raid a Wawa with your friends, but these same young people will find themselves in prison when law and order are eventually restored (as they must be for repression always follows anarchy) or, worse, on the receiving end of a bullet.

"Democrats have told all children that gender is meaningless, creating a generation of confused young people that are alienated from their own bodies and biological realities. The results are tragic. The results are things only a pedophile could love:". . .

Shapiro At Texas A&M: Transgressives Are Tearing Down Society, Starting With Your Kids   . . ."Transgressivism seeks the destruction of Western values, institutions, and norms because they are seen as corruptive influences that constrain and warp one’s true identity, which lies in pure animalistic freedom and desire. Transgressive identities have not just become normalized in society. Large swaths of the Democratic Party, the legacy media, academia, and corporate America are celebrating them, and, conversely, punishing those who criticize them.". . .

Bad behavior by so-called ‘transgenders’ must be checked

  . . ."Here’s some voting advice: If you don’t know which school board candidates to support, ask them this one question: ‘What’s your position on handling ‘gender identity’ in our schools?” The answers made my election choices very easy.". . . 

This ‘new DNC ad’ should DEFINITELY air during Biden’s speech tonight

. . .President Joe Biden’s “democracy in danger” speech that he’ll deliver Wednesday evening in front of a Union Station whose homeless encampments have been cleared out.

  Twitchy  "President Biden is delivering a “saving democracy” speech tonight at Union Station near the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC in another desperate Hail Mary attempt to keep his party from experiencing a midterm ruin. It’s a rather ironic location and the White House and DNC are trying to ensure that the backdrop doesn’t make it abundantly clear that the city looks as if it’s been run by Democrats for a long time.

"Also, with the midterm elections less than six days away, it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea for Biden to help out Dems on the midterm ballot with an ad about what he and the Democrats who control Congress have brought the nation.

"The White House and Dems should definitely consider featuring this ad during tonight’s Biden speech:". . .

Red Sermon II: President Biden wishes he could say the assault on our democracy ended January 6  "The White House has delivered excerpts of President Joe Biden’s “democracy in danger” speech that he’ll deliver Wednesday evening in front of a Union Station whose homeless encampments have been cleared out. As we pointed out earlier, this is a Hail Mary speech before the midterms, and as we’ve also pointed out, polls show that that approach doesn’t work. “The death of our democracy” is not moving voters to the polls, despite Biden’s warnings about election deniers up and down the ballot. He wishes he could say the assault on our democracy ended on January 6, but he can’t."Hecklers chant “Let’s Go Brandon” during Biden’s Soul of the Nation speech.

Kathy Hochul learns from Terry McAuliffe how to lose a blue state

 A man called Adam Benfield allegedly shot his wife dead in Buffalo last month while their children watched, and he did so a day after he’d been released on domestic abuse charges because state law prevented the judge from setting bail. All over the country, cities and states run by Democrats are allowing criminals to roam free and unpunished, and crime rates are spiking as a result. 

 Washington Examiner  "Is recent Virginia history repeating itself in New York ? Will a Republican candidate for governor win an upset victory because the favored Democrat reveals a breathtaking nonchalance toward the issue voters care about most?

Gov. Kathy Hochul may have just gifted deep blue New York to her challenger Rep. Lee Zeldin by displaying glaring indifference about the state’s soaring crime rate.

"If she has, it will replicate former Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s monumental gaffe in 2021, when he accidentally told the truth and revealed that he neither understood nor cared about parents’ deep anxiety over Virginia schools indoctrinating children with extreme left-wing propaganda on race and gender.

"In a prime-time debate against then-businessman, now-Gov. Glenn Youngkin, McAuliffe said, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” This crystalline statement of Democratic insouciance toward ordinary people’s interests detonated like a grenade. Youngkin could hardly have believed his ears or his luck. His campaign rolled the tape again and again in TV commercials, dooming the hapless blue candidate in a blue state.

Now, Hochul has done something very similar in New York. The big issue in this case is a ubiquitous sense of threat felt by peaceful and law-abiding citizens because crime is surging. The concern is spread statewide but most acute in left-liberal New York City, where robbery has increased by 38% in the past year, grand larceny by 35%, and burglary by 31%. Numbers like those will depress turnout for Democrats where they most need enthusiasm.". . .

Here he goes again....

How inept must we be to believe anything Biden tells us? Whether at an Oval Office address or State Of The Union speech, it is still Joe Biden speaking. TD

Biden Tells Black College Students He ‘Got His Start’ at ‘Historically Black College’ Delaware State University… He Didn’t… He Went to University of Delaware

"Joe Biden on Tuesday evening campaigned for Democrat duds Charlie Crist and Val Demings at Florida Memorial University in Miami.

"Biden told the black students at Florida Memorial University, a HBCU (Historically Black College) that he ‘got his start’ at HBCU Delaware State University.

"Joe Biden went to the University of Delaware.

"Biden is very clever in how he tricks people into believing he attended Delaware State University.

"Joe Biden says he “got his start” at Delaware State University so if he gets called out for lying, the so-called ‘fact-checkers’ will swoop in and say Biden never claimed he attended Delaware State University.". . .

There’s Been A Political Earthquake In Arizona This Morning And This Can Change The Fate Of The U.S. Senate

 USA Supreme

. . ."The Cook Political Report adjusted its rating in the race from “Lean Democrat” to a toss-up, suggesting the GOP’s chances are improving in a crucial race that could determine which party takes control of the Senate this fall.

"The rating change comes “amid a spate of tightening private polling that has left Democrats worried about one of their strongest incumbents,” Cook Political Report analyst Jessica Taylor wrote.

"However this morning we have a political earthquake that could change everything and win the race for the GOP!

"The New York Times reported early Tuesday morning that the Libertarian Party candidate Marc Victory is dropping out in order to endorse Trump-endorsed outsider candidate Blake Masters.

“ 'The Libertarian candidate running for Senate in Arizona — who had threatened to play spoiler in the closely watched race — is dropping out and endorsing Blake Masters, the Republican nominee,” the Times reported.

“ 'The decision, announced on Tuesday, gives Mr. Masters a lift heading into the final week as he seeks to unseat Senator Mark Kelly, the Democratic incumbent, who has generally held a narrow lead in the polls,” the report continued.

“ 'This is another major boost of momentum as we consolidate our support,” Masters said in a statement to The New York Times.". . .

Tucker Carlson explains why the Democrats must rely on censorship to maintain political viability.

What’s even worse about this is that these actions never work as advertised, they just empower the left, as intended.  They must know this, but they don’t care, they only care about their control over society. . . .

D. Parker   "Anti-liberty leftists and their national media apparatus are in their final desperate days before their well-deserved midterm (rhetorical) mangling, with the latter dropping any remaining microscopic vestiges of ‘objectivity.’  They know that everything hinges on what happens over the next few days and if they can conjure up some reason for their side to maintain their death grip on power, they will do it. This is why they are trying to carefully exploit the horrific assault on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband.  It should go without saying that such acts of violence are to be condemned.

"However, as Tucker Carlson detailed in his Fox News show Monday night, this disturbing incident brought forth some rather unsavory reactions from those who like to falsely portray themselves as ‘liberal.’  These are the times that bring out the best and the worst in people, the stressful situations when their true nature shines through."

. . ."Followed by another alleged ‘conservative’ (sure, whatever Jen) from the same media source sounding the alarm over the people ruling in our Constitutional Republic:

First, and perhaps most troubling, the nearly 300 GOP election deniers/liars on the ballot are likely to whip up anger about a “rigged” system or “stolen election,” priming aggrieved supporters for violence. Many high-profile Republicans have refused to pledge to respect the results. Given Republicans’ embrace of the “big lie” in 2020, we should prepare for a plethora of baseless accusations, some of which could incite unstable individuals.. . .

 . . ."What is the common thread in all the coverage from the far-left media?

"The almost subliminal message that runs just beneath the surface of all of their screeds.  It’s that our freedom of speech must be suppressed, lest it cause any other nudist hemp jewelry maker’s from Berkeley to lose the plot and attack someone of the leftist ruling class.  Just as it’s their knee-jerk reaction to call for gun confiscation whenever a leftist start shooting at people.". . .

Kari Lake Torches the Media: You Idiots Will Fall for Anything

 Townhall

. . ."She put out a defamatory statement and you all ran with it. You didn't do your journalistic duty. it was a malpractice of journalism like I've never seen before. It was an effort, I believe, to influence this election. Many of you are an arm of the Democrat Party Many of you are propagandists. And almost all of you should be ashamed.". . .

. . ."Lake has been making the most of her free media opportunities, leading to an impressive poll surge. Recent surveys have Lake ahead, including liberal polls—Data for Progress has her leading Hobbs by four points. Most attempts to smear Lake as a crank have been mitigated by her two-decade career as a television journalist; Arizona voters are familiar with Lake. Hobbs’ antics could have been avoided if she had just agreed to debate Lake, but it’s too late for that, and the Arizona Democrat most likely would have been eviscerated on the stage.

 "Democrats, you nominated an atrocious candidate for whatever reason, and now you can’t do much with her.". . .

Through Twitter, Democrats telegraph their last-ditch plan to save their midterms

 Monica Showalter  "Twitter, even in Elon Musk's hands, has been keeping busy on behalf of its Democrat masters.

"So nobody should be surprised to see that the first thing the "disinformation" squads have us humble deplorables on their splash screen coming in is this notification about elections:

"It fills your screen. It's hard to find the 'x' to click the page away and get to your own. You can't avoid the "messaging." And sure enough, it's exactly what Democrats these days are saying as they prepare a last-ditch effort to avoid a red wave wipeout.

"The two items in that "message" are both big gaslights to voters under the rubric of "fact-checking." They are, in fact, efforts to "train" voters to learn to love the Democrat party line about the wonderfulness of mail balloting and extended counting, and ignore all the risks inherent to them. There's no free inquiry with such messages, just the incurious adamance that all elections are free and fair.

"If you clink on the links to this forced message, you get a stream of mainstream media reports by reporters who've always been in bed with Democrats, and each claiming there's no such thing as election fraud.". . .

Which is more frightening: these politicians who blatantly lie to our faces or those of us who choose to believe them?

Attack on Paul Pelosi falsely called 'political violence' from the right, as real political violence from the left gets a pass

The attempt on Kavanaugh was just as real, but it was caught before the perfectly sane and ideologically motivated leftist could do any damage, so it lacks the emotional impact of the attack on Pelosi, whose skull was broken.  But it was bona fide political violence, the kind the media clowns and Democrat pols are now raving about, except that it comes from the left.

 The attack on Paul Pelosi and Democrats' hardball politics  . . ."The Democrats have violated all that was once considered sacrosanct.

"They imposed lockdowns that destroyed their livelihoods.  They mandated vaccines, which caused people to either be rendered unemployed or suffer potential health consequences.  They left the border open to cause peril to citizens due to criminal illegal aliens, drug-smuggling, and human-trafficking.  They demonized the police to enable the crime wave.  They caused inflation and sky-high fuel prices.  They are sending billions to Ukraine while their citizens are suffering.  Joe Biden used his influence as V.P. and perhaps even as president to enrich Hunter Biden and himself.

"All of this must be investigated and the guilty should be punished.

"The question remains: will the GOP actually act, or will they follow the Bill Barr style of functioning — i.e. say the right things, and engage in heated arguments during hearings and on Fox News, but do very little in terms of action?" 

What We're Learning About the Man Who Attacked Paul Pelosi  "I regret to inform the meme makers, the narrative builders, and all those involved in the herculean effort to make Paul Pelosi’s attack suspect into a stand-in for the right-wing boogeyman, the after-party has been canceled.

"The pathetic human known as David DePape was, until recently, a public backer of Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ causes. At least, that’s what we can surmise by surveying his “home” in Berkeley. DePape had a “Black Lives Matter” sign in the window and an LGBTQ rainbow flag, emblazoned with a marijuana symbol, hanging from a tree outside his house.

 Release Paul Pelosi's 911 Call   "There are now no fewer than two–and possibly three–investigations taking place into the attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Officials claim to want to quell the speculation about the attack on Pelosi’s husband, but they could clear a few things up by releasing the actual 9-1-1 call and police body cam video. Instead, local police, Capitol Police, and the FBI say  “we’re not revealing any other details at this time.' ”. . .

What should become of the FBI?

 CauseACTION

"Current polls show a growing mistrust of the FBI among nearly half of America due to a spate of investigative activities that appear politically one-sided. Some pundits and politicians have piled on with invidious characterizations of the entire bureau as “fascist,” “Gestapo-like,” “thoroughly corrupt,” and a tool of the Democratic Party that should be completely disbanded.

"While the hyperbole is not helpful, the public’s frustration is certainly understandable following disclosures by special counsel John Durham of abuses stemming from the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, the shocking search of a former Republican president’s home over a document dispute, the highly tactical home arrests of pro-life protesters and other conservatives, and the unjustified early morning search of journalists’ homes for the politically embarrassing diary of President Biden’s daughter — to name just a few. 

"A prominent over-rotation proposal fronted by some in the media and on Capitol Hill is the complete dissolution of the FBI and distribution of its mission to other federal law enforcement agencies. This is a feel-good sound bite, but it will never happen. It is irresponsible to feed it as a possibility to that half of the country that traditionally admired the FBI but now is deeply concerned. Here’s why.". . .
