Biden’s Susceptibility to Blackmail has Unleashed Domestic and International Chaos

Tellingly, Xi Jinping smugly watches Biden grovel before him, ignores his requests for talks and meetings and not so subtly reminds Biden that he has the dirt on him and will expose it if necessary.

Here's a good spot for the Springsteen endorsement. Naaa. 

 Steve McCann; American Thinker  "It has often been speculated what would happen to this nation if a decadently compromised president who willingly succumbed to extortion from both domestic and foreign interests were elected.  That possibility is no longer in the realm of speculation.  For the past 27 months the United States has experienced this devastating eventuality, as no president in this nation’s history has been as susceptible to domestic and international blackmail as Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. 

"Nonetheless, in their unbridled hubris, the Democrats' puppet masters turned to Joe Biden whom they could portray as a “moderate” in order to defeat Donald Trump.

"While Trump was in office this same cabal vociferously proclaimed that “A president openly susceptible to blackmail cannot serve.”   In a stunning example of hypocrisy, they chose the most susceptible president in American history.  However, they failed to understand that the Communist Chinese and Marxist penchant for using political blackmail to achieve their objectives would determine the fate of the country during his presidency. 

"The hubris of the American ruling class and venality on the part of Joe Biden has placed the United States in the position of being humiliated and extorted by the Chinese Communists, who have bribed his son, family and ultimately him.". . .

Staff Announcement About Biden Calling an Early 'Lid' Shows He's Getting Worse

 Staff Announcement About Biden Calling an Early 'Lid' Shows He's Getting Worse – RedState

"It’s both funny and frankly sad that they can’t defend what’s going on with Biden anymore. Indeed, I think they don’t even know what to say, which is why they don’t want him to do press conferences anymore. They just can’t explain or justify his issues. Unfortunately, it’s just going to keep getting worse."

"Biden couldn’t even answer a simple question from a child without help from Hunter. Then, even after it was explained, he went on to tell the audience of children a story about working with the late Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC) that couldn’t possibly have been true given the time frame. He got confused as to where his office was and had a huge security breach while he was in Northern Ireland. He even managed to insult our British allies. And those were just a few of the crazy things that he said over the four days.

"But then when he got back from that vacation on Saturday, Biden flew back to his beach house in Delaware for the weekend for still more leisure time. I guess the Irish trip was so strenuous that he needed yet another getaway. When he said he was going to Delaware, he managed to insult his Interior Secretary with a weird comment about her not being from “anywhere.”

"So on Monday, you would think he would be well-rested and ready to get to work, right? Wrong.

"On Monday morning, his staff called an early lid at 9 a.m. — meaning, “don’t expect anything from him for the rest of the day.” He was worn out already, that early on Monday? That’s who we have in the office now, someone who spends 40 percent of his time on vacation and who can’t even get up for work anymore. It must be tough recovering from vacations and hanging out at the beach. As one Twitter user noted, perhaps all that “licking the world” that he talked about while in Ireland is a pretty tiring exercise.". . .

Can America be restored after Democrats have their way?

 

AfterMath

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”  ~ Mike Vanderboegh @ The Last Refuge

Wealth redistribution schemes are disguised as green policies. Our retail shelves have in recent times looked like the bare counters of communist East Berlin. We’re told that we have to make do with less, and fewer choices are in our best interest. Our economy would be full-on GDR-ed if the Sanderses and Ocasio-Cortezes had their way.

Elon Musk Says He Will Create “TruthGPT” To Compete Against “Politically Correct” A.I. Bots Like ChatGPT

 BREAKING: Elon Musk Says He Will Create "TruthGPT" To Compete Against "Politically Correct" A.I. Bots Like ChatGPT (trendingpoliticsnews.com)  "An interview between Tucker Carlson and Twitter CEO and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk aired on Monday’s edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight.

"Musk criticized OpenAI’s chatGPT bot and said he will try and create an alternative A.I. bot that is not “trained to be politically correct.”

"' 'I’m going to start something which I know you called TruthGPT, or a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe,” Musk told Tucker Carlson.

“ 'And I think this might be the best path to safety in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe is unlikely to annihilate humans because we are an interesting part of the universe,” he added."

Tim Kaine: It's OK For The FBI To Put Informants In Churches

 The Federalist

Almost Hillary's vice president until Trump won.

"Virginia Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine gave the FBI his approval to investigate Catholic parishes in his own state on Monday.

"When asked by a local ABC affiliate about the FBI’s Richmond division infiltrating Catholic communities to spy on the church for alleged extremism, Kaine called the revelations a misunderstanding.

“ 'I think the key is communication,” Kaine told ABC13. “If the FBI has a concern like that, then go to the church leaders and say, ‘Hey look, we have a concern and we don’t want your members to get unwittingly caught up in something.'”

"Former FBI Special Agent Kyle Seraphin blew the whistle on the agency’s Richmond office investigating the Catholic Church with undercover informants in February. The FBI, Seraphin wrote, “would like to protect Virginians from the threat of ‘white supremacy,’ which it believes has found a home within Catholics who prefer the Latin Mass.”

" 'The document assesses with ‘high confidence’ the FBI can mitigate the threat of Radical-Traditionalist Catholics by recruiting sources within the Catholic Church,” Seraphin warned.". . .

Nothing To Bragg About

 Nothing to ‘Bragg’ About – Grrr Graphics

"Ohio Republican Representative Jim Jordan, the House Judiciary Chairman, is facing a lawsuit from Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney who vowed to ‘get Trump’ and is using law-fare to do it. 

"Bragg claimed Jordan is ‘intimidating and attacking’ his office’s case against President Trump. The 50-page lawsuit, which was filed earlier this week, is over three times longer than the filing against Trump. Bragg’s office must have been busy. He has no time to lock up real criminals, but instead he continues to engage in a political battle against Trump and other Republicans. Apparently the Soros-backed Bragg is too busy to prosecute actual criminals. Expect crime in New York City to worsen.". . .

'Props': Dems' Callousness Towards NYC Crime Victims Was on Full Display (townhall.com)

Title 42 stands between the U.S. and chaos at the border -

While the program can’t and shouldn’t remain in place indefinitely, right now it is protecting our southern border. Even the Biden Administration has admitted that once it expires, there will be a surge of illegals. 

 American Thinker  "Migrants have been masssing at the U.S.-Mexico border waiting for the Title 42 health program to expire on May 11. Why? Once it does, it will create an opportunity for the migrants to cross the border and get a toehold in the United States.

“There are thousands and thousands just waiting for Title 42 to end. I would say a fear is that the Biden admin has no clue just how bad it’s going to get. We can barely actively patrol the border now. When Title 42 ends, all of our resources, all of our little manpower that we do have, are going to be focused on processing. Field work will nearly cease to exist in my opinion,” a Customs and Border Patrol agent working along the southern border told the Daily Caller News Foundation. . . .

. . ."Meanwhile, the White House appears to be doing nothing to strengthen our border. When Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked what Vice President Kamala Harris is doing to address the “root cause” of mass migration to the southern border, which is something she has been put in charge of, Jean-Pierre said, “I don’t have anything to lay out specifically on what that work looks like.”

A gun to our heads

Seattle economics may be summed up as follows:

Step 1) Complain that there aren't enough well-paid skilled jobs
Step 2) Companies bring in well-paid skilled jobs
Step 3) Take exorbitant amounts of money from companies as punishment for bringing skilled jobs.  Increase taxes on skilled employees.
Step 4) Give said money to street junkies and professional panhandlers

Letters to Hannah   . . ."That's why I loathe them like the prophets of Ba'al, and every panhandler to me represents not just a failure of chemicals in the brain, or a refusal to get his act together, or a crime spree in waiting or a drug habit in action, but a whole code of ethics I hate for its enforcement -- not even really the bum, but the thing that he stands for.  A robbery in progress.  Some smug liberal's ticket to heaven on my back.  An endless tide of sermons with no actual payout, other than a fuzzy feeling and a fitting in with the sermonizers.  To hell with them, I say.

Things escalated quickly when the fanatical denizens of Seattle, or at least the people they elected to represent them, proposed that we charge every successful business $500 per employee to "end" our crisis of homelessness.  Nevermind the fact that the homeless here already buy their drugs with free checks from the government, or that they cause an exorbitant amount of minor and major crimes, or that free food is to be found at multiple places around the city, or that a judge ruled you can't search a bum's tarp without a warrant, or that an army of idiots can be found on every street corner, feeding their own egos by aiding these animals.  Nevermind, in fact, that we spend more here per homeless person than anywhere else in the nation, more than one billion over the past several years, and that the problem keeps growing the more money we throw at it.  Nevermind that a judge ruled the homeless could park almost anywhere they wanted, and so swarms of these locusts descended, with license plates from every state in the nation, to loot the earnings of our families and leave their needles and bottles and shit on the sidewalks*.  No -- they proposed this $500 head tax and were shouted down by people who said it was too much.  Too much, they said.  They would settle for $250, they said.  Please, sir, take my wallet, but not my wedding band**.

"Some churches decided that instead of just putting the burden on the public, they would take care of it "at their own expense" --  by opening homeless encampments on their own personal parking lots.  Thus the love of Christ did not extend to their neighbors, who protested loudly, and whose businesses suffered because people were afraid to shop at them.  The mentally insane made it impossible for an intelligent parent to let his children walk the streets.  People began to complain and the church, with an air of Pharisaical sanctity, professed its duty to everyone except the people at large.  What about Lazarus and the rich man? they asked.  Do Unto Others has always had an asterisk, and the Devil, as we now know, is always in the details.". . .

Pete Buttigieg just can’t stop calling highways racist

Put Some Clothes On Your Daughter! And start with Womens athletic gear

When teenage girls dress in booty shorts or extremely revealing tops, they are, as feminist Camille Paglia put it, sending a sexual signal.  And they know this full well, even if their parents pretend that they don’t.  Video 

 American Thinker  "As the seasons change and the weather warms, American adults are yet again being subjected to the uncomfortable spectacle of teenage girls wearing outfits more befitting a runway show than a school, a store, or any other public setting.  Every winter I hope the trend loses steam or reverses, but every spring it returns worse than the previous year.

"I wish there were a way I could word this in a less tawdry manner, but I can’t, so I’ll just be blunt:  Mom and Dad, we can see the bottom of your teenage daughter’s ass.  And we shouldn’t be seeing the bottom of your teenage daughter’s ass.  At her age, the only one who should is her proctologist.  And it’s your fault that we’re seeing it.

"I hesitated writing this article because I foresee my arguments falling on deaf ears of those who feel I have no right, as a male, to dictate social norms to females.  But this is an erroneous approach.  I make my arguments not as a male to a female, but as an adult to a child.  My gender is incidental to my arguments, and I would have no qualms with a female adult objecting to a male teenager dressing inappropriately.  I’m specifically targeting the current trend among teenage females not from any leftist chimera of implicit misogyny or ingrained patriarchy, but because the consequences of said behaviors are far more serious for the teenage female than for the teenage male.

"Sex and sexual behavior are always more consequential for females than for males.  A teenage boy dressing inappropriately can harm himself socially, but never sexually.  But as our daughters are being hypersexualized at younger and younger ages by mass marketing, the celebrity class, social media, and rapists posing as teachers, it is all the more crucial that they have stable and consistent parenting to counter this.". . .

Dylan Mulvaney Changes Tune After Bud Light Backlash, Announces New ‘Uncontroversial’ Goal -

 Analyzing America

"Mulvaney is also partnered with Olay, KitchenAid, Kate Spade, Ulta Beauty, Tampax, and recently, Nike women’s athletic wear." Tampax! Tampax?

"During an interview with Rosie O’Donnell, transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney spoke out amid ongoing boycotts and backlash following advertisements for Bud Light.

"Bud Light produced beer cans featuring Mulvaney’s face to celebrate “365 days of girlhood,” which marks Mulvaney’s gender transition from male to female.

"Mulvaney is embracing a new goal of being “uncontroversial.” Mulvaney told O’Donnell about efforts “to be the most uncontroversial person this past year.”

"Despite this goal, Mulvaney has accepted marketing deals from multiple brands, including Nike, Tampax tampons, and other feminine care products.

"Mulvaney models women’s clothing on social media, including sports bras and leggings.". . .

How Bud Light got 'Tootsie' rolled

 Don Surber

Tucker hit on why this boycott hit so hard. People are tired of being shoved around by crybullies on the lefty. It is not just the pronouns, the lockdowns and the putdowns. The 21st century has seen a removal of our God-given rights in the name of some manufactured rights.

"Life imitates art. Dylan Mulvaney is today’s example. He is the man in drag who is dragging down Bud Light’s sales and perhaps all of Anheuser-Busch’s other brands of beer with it.

"Mulvaney is a real life Tootsie, which was the name of Dustin Hoffman’s 1982 comedy in which he played a difficult-to-work-with actor who becomes a difficult-to-work-with actress who becomes a big star on a soap opera and a role model for feminists.

"I don’t think writer Larry Gelbart (of TV’s M*A*S*H fame) meant this to be the moral of the story but the film’s message was actors who are difficult to work with get shunned, while actresses who are difficult to work with get Emmys. Hoffman’s character also showed men make better actresses than women do.

"The role may not have been much of a stretch for Hoffman. Gelbart said of him, “Never work with an Oscar-winner who is shorter than the statue.”

"Mulvaney likely channeled Tootsie to revive his moribund acting career amid a pandemic. He transitioned — at least cosmetically — into a woman, specifically Audrey Hepburn. I think Hoffman channeled his Aunt Pearl.

"Tootsie caught the zeitgeist of the time. Feminists ruled. Men were pigs.

"Mulvaney caught the zeitgeist of our time. Trannies rule. Feminists are TERFs*.

"Whereas Gelbart likely did not mean to imply men are better at being women than women are, I am pretty sure Mulvaney and his brethren believe they are better at being women than women are.". . .
