Corrupt influence: The Biden family vs. Clarence Thomas and "white supremacy -

By contrast, the foreign adversaries who paid the Bidens many millions of dollars absolutely had business before Joe Biden.

 American Thinker   "The White House claims Joe Biden has no problem unless it’s shown that Biden actually changed a policy decision as a result of the money he and his family received from our foreign adversaries. (The mainstream media keeps saying that there is no evidence Biden himself received any money from foreign adversaries, but emails and testimony of Biden's business partners are evidence that he did.)  

"Proving that Biden changed his policies is almost impossible, and it’s not the right standard. It’s difficult to do because you can’t x-ray somebody’s brain as to why they did something. That’s why Supreme Court justices need to recuse themselves if they have a conflict. They don't rule on a case and then challenge critics to prove their decision was made as a result of the conflict.  

You want four more years of THIS?

"But it’s pretty clear that the tens of millions of dollars paid to the Bidens by US adversaries were being paid for a reason. The only thing of value being provided by the Biden family in return for vast sums of money was Biden’s political influence. And the efforts the Bidens made to hide what they were doing by running the money through third-party intermediaries and shell companies (facts not reported by the MSM) shows they knew it was wrong.

"The Democrats are all over Clarence Thomas principally because he took vacations paid for by Harlan Crow. Crow had no business before the Court, and his critics are not claiming otherwise. If he had, Thomas should have recused himself. But the critics aren’t even suggesting that Thomas changed a decision as a result of Harlan Crow’s largesse or any other source of financial conflict.? . . .

Biden at HBCU: White supremacy is the most dangerous threat to our homeland – HotAir    "Really, Joe? White supremacy is the most dangerous threat to our homeland? Our racist president is at it again. Joe Biden never misses an opportunity to racially divide Americans while railing against racism.

"Biden delivered the commencement address at Howard University on Saturday. Howard University, a HBCU and the alma mater of Kamala Harris, welcomed the president and his warnings about the threats they face as they go out into the world. He assured the grads that he wasn’t making such an outrageous statement just because he was speaking at a “black HBCU”, which of course was the very reason he was doing it. Does Grandpa Joe understand that the ‘B’ in HBCU stands for black, so saying a black HBCU is redundant? When he speaks to predominantly white audiences he says the greatest threat is climate change.

"Joe Biden is running for re-election and black voters are not very eager to go and cast a vote for him again. He can’t win without a strong showing from black voters, especially black women who are so loyal to Democrats and will want to support Kamala in 2024 as Joe’s vice president. So, he was in deep pander mode." . . .

. . ."Pointing his finger, he added, “And I’m not just saying this because I’m at a Black HBCU. I say this wherever I go.” The audience laughed.". . .

Journalist Julie Kelly replied, “No you’re saying it because you’re a pathological liar propped up by the media to help fuel dangerous racial division.”

And New York Post journalist Miranda Devine simply tweeted “Pure evil” in response to Biden’s line.

Joe Biden campaigns for black votes; best he can do is offer racial division, instead of jobs and prosperity

 Monica Showalter

Biden of course is an elderly white man with a record of racially skeevy statements -- everything from declaring President Obama 'clean' and 'articulate.' to criticizing racial desegregation measures as a 'racial jungle,' to making offensive jokes about industrious Indian immigrants working in low-wage service jobs, serving him. 


 . . ."His Republican rivals have made many such 'firsts' too, so that's not the winning hand he wants his audience to think.

What he's offering is thin gruel, if not downright slop, compared to what his predecessor, President Trump, brought to the black community on his watch.

Under Trump, black Americans "thrived" economically, as USAToday put it. Black unemployment rate hit record lows, accompanied by record-high black labor force participation. Black homeownership rose to new heights, and black prosperity amassed significantly. 

It did so for the same reason those economic indicators rose significantly among white Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, handicapped people, ex-prisoners, and everyone else -- tax cuts, ending bureaucratic red tape on job-creators and creating respect abroad.

How CNN Just Boosted Trump

 Ben Shapiro (jewishworldreview.com)

CNN found itself on the wrong end of the outrage machine from the liberal commentariat. The irrepressibly insipid Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY., tweeted, "CNN should be ashamed of themselves...


"This week, former President Donald Trump appeared on a CNN town hall. That day, he trumpeted the upcoming event on his social media platforms. "I'll be doing CNN tonight live from the great state of New Hampshire because CNN is rightfully desperate to get those Trump ratings back," Trump said with a wry grin. "They were ratings like none other, and they want them back. They made me a deal they couldn't refuse. It could be the beginning of a new and vibrant CNN with no more fake news, or it could be a total disaster for all, including me. Let's see what happens, tonight at 8 o'clock!"

"Trump pitched the event like a WWE Monday Night Raw.

"And it was.

"It was kayfabe of the highest order. And it helped Trump immensely.

"CNN pitched the event as a kickoff to primary season. In that spirit, they invited Republican primary voters from New Hampshire to fill the auditorium. Moderator Kaitlin Collins, presumably, would ask questions that Republican voters cared about. They would then be able to use Trump's answers to gauge whether to vote for him.

"That's not what happened.

"Instead, Collins asked a series of questions only Democrats care about. She asked about Jan. 6. She asked about Trump's election denial. She asked about classified documents. She asked about E. Jean Carroll. In short, Collins provided Trump with precisely what he wanted: an adversarial CNN foe he could absolutely pummel, to the delight of the friendly crowd. The entire event played to Trump's strengths: he was aggressive; he was funny, and transgressively funny at that (of E. Jean Carroll, he noted disbelievingly, "her cat was named Vagina!"); and he refused to give an inch on any of his positions.

"Trump under fire from the Left draws nothing but admiration from most Republicans,". . .

Let’s stop acting like Jan. 6 was worse than the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots

 Washington Examiner

"Former President Donald Trump’s town hall on Wednesday night triggered much, if not all, of the liberal media. Almost in unison, they repeated the same talking points. Unfortunately, this resurrected much of the Left’s theatrical devastation over the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol.

"Unquestionably, the Jan. 6 riots were terrible. Some Trump supporters will try to justify it as a necessary action against voter integrity issues or election interference. Those people would be wrong: under no circumstance is it OK to storm the Capitol. The Constitution protects the “right of the people peaceably to assemble,” not engage in chaos and anarchy to express displeasure. So, any condemnation over Jan. 6 is justifiable.

"That being said, I am sick and tired of hearing about Jan. 6. More importantly, I am even more sick and tired of people pretending that the Jan. 6 riot was worse than the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020. Despite the carnage those riots caused, few, if any, on the Left criticized or condemned them. And definitely nobody on the Left labeled them a threat to our country — despite some riots, including attempts to burn down federal buildings. It’s left-wing political propaganda and manipulation at its finest.

"Decades of left-wing brainwashing and indoctrination in schools have led many people to believe that unarmed black men are hunted and killed by police officers . . .

How does a president most Americans don't believe is fit to serve run for reelection?

. . ."Plus, there's another factor to consider. Who will Biden run against? If he runs against  " Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who is 36 years younger than Biden, there is nothing Biden can do to neutralize the age matter. If he runs against former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC), who is 29 years younger than Biden, there is nothing he can do. If he runs against Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), who is 23 years younger, there is nothing he can do. Even if he runs against former Vice President Mike Pence, after former President Donald Trump the most senior Republican in the race but 17 years younger than Biden, there is nothing he can do.". . .

. . ."One last thing. An anti-MAGA campaign will be a very, very ugly campaign. There will be daily slanders, daily outrages, and daily combat. Republicans and conservatives who rankle at being called Nazis and fascists and traitors and insurrectionists and authoritarians and much, much more should be prepared. It will be hard to take. But if Biden is on the ballot in November 2024, it will be his best, and perhaps only, hope."

Have you been raised and indicted by Democrats

 

The tactics pictured above will bring our nation THIS:

Four more years of this?

 https://twitter.com/i/status/1656479735709589504   From the comments to this:

"Well we definitely don’t want 4 more years of this! Highest inflation in 40 years, consumer debt through the roof, earnings down, crime way up, wars, food and medicine shortages, self inflicted energy shortage and border crisis. No thanks."

Democrats giddy at Trump indictment, but legal experts warn case is weak (nypost.com) . . ."Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) — who controversially exclaimed of Trump in 2019, “We’re going to impeach this motherf–ker!” — tweeted, “No one is above the law. Not even a former, twice-impeached President of the United States.”

"Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) tweeted, “I will always believe that this twice-impeached former president is a threat to our democracy. This indictment is one of many steps to ensure that we are a country for and by the people, and that no one is above the law.”

"Other Democrats claimed they weren’t celebrating the development, which Trump alleged was Bragg “doing Joe Biden’s dirty work.”

" 'The indictment of a former president is a somber day for America. It’s also a time to put faith in our judicial system,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) said in a press release.". . .

Well, except Hillary Clinton, Al Sharpton. Maxine Waters, Eric Swalwell, Anybody named Biden, and other unnamed Democrats. 



Victor Davis Hanson: Weaponizing death

 Victor Davis Hanson

"Recently, there has been a spate of horrific murders.

"The killers, whether committing mass shootings or single homicides, are hard to stereotype.

"They can be clearly either mentally ill or simply innately evil. They can kill for revenge, for ideological purposes, out of hatred, for notoriety — or for no known reason at all.

"They are probably left-wing and right-wing, white, Black, and brown, young, and old. While their weapons of choice are semi-automatic rifles, there are plenty of killers who favor handguns and even knives.

"Unfortunately, these tragedies have increasingly become politicized.

"Yet our media and politicians do not apply a common standard of reporting about either the victims, the killers, or the apparent motives and circumstances of the violence.

"Instead, each horror is quickly analyzed for its political usefulness. Then its details are selectively downplayed or emphasized, depending upon the political agenda at work.

"A sad example was the terrible murder spree at the private Christian Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. A transgender male shot and killed six people, including three 9-year-old children.

"Almost immediately, three media narratives emerged.

"One, semi-automatic weapons, not the killer Audrey Hale, were mostly responsible for the massacre.

"Two, the shooter’s transgender identity profile played no role in the killing whatsoever."

"Three, the public had no need to know of the contents of the shooter’s “manifesto.”

"Why?" . . .

Bernie Sanders steps in to help Rep. Tlaib hold anti-Israel event in Capitol

 The Times of Israel

Jewish independent lawmaker chairs gathering in Senate committee meeting room to mark Nakba; Tlaib accuses Israel of apartheid, terror, says US aiding ‘ethnic cleansing’

“The event and Rep. Tlaib’s resolution are major milestones that reflect the shift in support for Palestinian rights in this country,” the wrote. “To heal from our past, we have to be honest about history. Acknowledging the Nakba is an important step towards freedom and justice for Palestinians.”. . .

"Tlaib, a Palestinian-American, is the only member of Congress who opposes Israel’s self-definition as a Jewish state. Among the participants of the Nakba event were several groups that support boycotting Israel, including Jewish Voice for Peace, Engage Action, and Americans for Justice in Palestine Action. According to the Free Beacon, some of the groups that attended have defended terrorism. Palestinians mark Nakba Day each year on May 15.

"Tlaib has in the past accused Israel of being an apartheid regime. In 2019, she attacked Republicans who backed a bill targeting the Israel boycott movement, saying in a tweet, “They forgot what country they represent.”

"Then, in 2022, she was criticized by her own party for saying that there was no room in the progressive movement for supporters of what she called Israel’s “apartheid” government.

"Sanders has in the past said he would condition US aid to Israel on Jerusalem taking tangible steps to reach a two-state solution and improve the conditions of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip.". . .

Since you insist, let's remember together the founding father of the Palestinian national movement, the mufti Amin al-Husseini. A mass murderer and the architecture of the “Nakba”.
Palestine’s Jews had no illusions about what to expect from German occupation. They knew the Nazis were mass murdering Jews in both Russia and Poland. From a number of sources they had enough data before the British or the Americans, to accurately know what the Nazis were doing to their loved ones in Europe.

Reparations Derangement Syndrome

  Issues & Insights

Let’s not pretend this is about justice, fairness and decency. It’s a shakedown – aided and abetted by rich, white, guilt-ridden, virtue-signaling progressives – that not even Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton could have envisioned a decade ago.


"A panel in California, where rotten public policy ideas metastasize like a fungus growing in dark, slimy conditions, has approved paying reparations to descendants of slaves. It is impossible to overstate just how insane this is.

"The reparations task force, appointed by Boy Gov. Gavin Newsom, voted Saturday to recommend the state pay out as much as $800 billion to the descendants of enslaved or free black people who were in the U.S. by the end of the 19th century. That’s 2.5 times the size of California’s annual budget. Recipients could rake in as much as $1.2 million each.

"Or more. Much more. Because San Francisco’s reparations advisory committee has recommended the city’s qualified African American residents be given a $5 million lump sum.

"The committee also proposed “the elimination of credit card debt, car and student loans; a string of tax breaks; and 250 years of special benefits for African Americans such as a  guaranteed income of $97,000 a year (adjusted for inflation); and the ability to buy homes for $1,” says Rowena Itchon of the Pacific Research Institute.

"The cost of this largess, says the Hoover Institution’s Lee Ohanian, will be “​​on a per-household basis … nearly $600,000 per non–African American San Francisco household.”. . .

. . .Meanwhile, the appalling Barbara Lee, who represents a House district in Oakland, has cosponsored a bill in Congress to study reparations. It should never get a hearing, but we live in unhinged times, so it will get much more than that.

Massive outpouring of GiveSendGo support for Daniel Penny… Soros-prosecutors must be sweating bullets…

 Revolver News   "Daniel Penny, the 24-year-old young man we’ve dubbed the “Marine Subway Hero,” turned himself into New York authorities on Friday after he heroically saved an entire subway train from a violent, mentally ill madman named Jordan Neely.

"A massive outpouring of support on GiveSendGo must have the Soros prosecutors working this case sweating. As of publication, the legal fund has already raised a stunning $736,251.

"For at least a decade, the criminal schizophrenic Mr. Neely had been causing terror among New York City commuters. On that eventful day when Mr. Penny happened to be on the train, Mr. Neely, a long-time offender, was determined to carry out a criminal act in order to secure food and shelter by returning to prison.

"Given the unpredictable nature of this disturbed and violent individual, it was impossible to anticipate the extent to which he would escalate. However, Mr. Penny, a former Marine and a compassionate individual, selflessly endangered himself to safeguard others by restraining the extremely foul-smelling Mr. Neely in a chokehold. Sadly, Neely’s disruptive behavior caused him to lose his life, and now the Soros-backed DA, Alvin Bragg, who also arrested Trump, has filed second-degree manslaughter charges against the heroic Marine.

"This is just more weaponization of our judicial system by the usual radical left-wing zealots." . . .

Ron DeSantis Throws His Support Behind Daniel Penny in the Jordan Neely Incident – RedState   . . ."DeSantis’ May 12 statement came via Twitter:

We must defeat the Soros-Funded DAs, stop the Left’s pro-criminal agenda, and take back the streets for law abiding citizens. We stand with Good Samaritans like Daniel Penny. Let’s show this Marine… America’s got his back.

"The tweet included a link to Penny’s defense fund, which thus far has received over $790K in donations.

"The criminal charges against Penny were filed on May 11 by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Bragg, in addition to facing tremendous legal heat due to his prosecution of Donald Trump, also has a history of prosecuting crime victims rather than perpetrators. " 

How the crime was reported depends on a source's politics


Dylan Mulvaney announces 'day 9610 of being human' after Bud Light controversy

 The Post Millennial

"You know, dehumanization has never fixed anything in history ever."

"TikTok celebrity Dylan Mulvaney has strayed from his usual format of delivering an exaggerated and insulting performance of womanhood and instead released a video avoiding the topic of gender entirely and declaring himself to be a human. 

"Filmed on “day 9610 of being a human,” Mulvaney explains to his millions of young followers that he’s been offline for a few weeks. This social media break coincides with the Bud Light controversy, during which the beer company’s sales plummeted after releasing a special edition can with Mulvaney’s face on it." . . .

. . ."The message Mulvaney’s insulting caricature of women sends to young people is that attention, fame, and adoration can be gained by adopting a transgender identity. Mulvaney promotes taking cross-sex hormones and has had facial feminization surgery, and most recently facial fillers. It is surely more likely that the backlash he is now facing is the result not of his “camp” and theatrical nature, but because of the terrible example he is setting to young people."

Bud Light is the laser dot, and we're the cat - American Thinker   . . .I was grossed out by the man-child beer bathtub video, too.  I am pretty grossed out about the whole genital mutilation thing.  But killing American jobs on purpose isn't the answer.  Joe Biden is doing enough of that without us helping him destroy jobs.

"And understand this: the people you want to get fired at AB Inbev will be given golden parachutes and a show on MSNBC.  The only people who will be hurt by the boycott are the lowly line workers...who already can't afford eggs, gas, rent, doctor, car, insurance...

 "I understand wanting to die on this hill, but Bud Light isn't the hill.  Trans insanity is. The red laser dot isn't real."

The great minds shaping our nation's, um, intellect

 Bill Maher: ‘Never Ending Woke Competition’ Is Destroying America, We’ve Already ‘Lost’ To China | The Daily Wire    Left-wing HBO host Bill Maher slammed the “never ending woke competition” that is engulfing America, warning that it has turned Americans into a “silly people” and that China is “eating our lunch” as a result.

“And finally, new rule, you’re not gonna win the battle for the 21st century if you are a silly people and Americans are a silly people,” Maher said on his show “Real Time” on Friday. “That’s the classic phrase from Lawrence of Arabia when Lawrence tells his Bedouin allies that as long as they stay a bunch of squabbling tribes, they will remain a silly people. Well, we’re the silly people now. You know who doesn’t care that there’s a stereotype of a Chinese man in a Dr. Seuss book? China. All 1.4 billion of them could give a Crouching Tiger flying f**k … because they’re not a silly people.”. . .

'CNN should be ashamed of themselves': AOC and Joy Behar lead backlash to Trump's Town Hall | Daily Mail Online
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Joy Behar have led condemnation of CNN's decision to host a town hall with Donald Trump, which saw the former president bask in the spotlight and repeat a series of lies, joking about being found liable for sexual assault and mocking the moderator as 'nasty'. The 70-minute session, held in New Hampshire in front of a strongly pro-Trump crowd, seemed at times more like a Trump rally than an interrogation, as the former president held court and moderator Kaitlan Collins tried to keep control. During his tense confrontation with Collins he called January 6 a 'beautiful day', insisted he had 'every right' to take classified documents to Mar-a-Lago.
