Mr. Schumer’s Speech Threatens Our Republic -

Dangerous. Mr. Schumer’s rhetoric (like the one mentioned at the beginning of this article) indicates how dangerous he is to the rule of law and to the well-being of our Republic. Taking into account the profound damage that he and his party have already inflicted upon America, the longer he stays in power the higher the risk that said damage will become irreparable.

 American Thinker  "Mr. Schumer and his party appear to be what they constantly accuse their adversaries of: the biggest threat to our democracy, understood as the constitutional Republic, that rests upon the fundamental assumption that the American government is “deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed”.

"He has a history of disparaging, often in provocative or threatening language, one of the most respected institutions of the federal government — the Supreme Court of the United States. His recent verbal attack levied against the Court serves as a typical example of his recklessness. Here is a quote from an article posted by Fox News:

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., slammed the Supreme Court’s ruling Thursday that limited the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to regulate bodies of water, calling it a ‘MAGA’ court even though the decision was 9-0.

"Apparently, Mr. Schumer thinks that to “make America great again” is an evil goal, the accomplishment of which would be detrimental to him, his party, and its constituents. This allows one to logically conclude that he and his ilk consider America to be a threat and an obstacle in their continuous attempts to impose upon the American people a political system of Mr. Schumer and his party’s liking. Otherwise he would not have been using the “MAGA” label as a pejorative epithet.

"The above verbal attack comes on the heels of his previous threat against Supreme Justices when he said, according to a report from NBC News, that the arbiters “won’t know what hit” them if they vote to uphold state’s rights, and to make sure that his threat was specific enough he added “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price.” . . .

The Anniversary the Media Would Prefer You Forget

 Ann Coulter

With the black community itself bearing the brunt of the violence, by now, the ruling class's fawning embrace of the Black Lives Matter movement has gotten tens of thousands of black people killed.

"How did I miss the third anniversary of George Floyd's death? Were the media caught sleeping? Three years ago, Floyd was given funerals in three states, carried in a gold casket and driven to his final resting place in a horse-drawn carriage. It was like the funeral for a pharaoh.

"From Floyd's death on May 25, 2020, to the end of the year, The New York Times alone ran more than 4,000 articles about him. But exactly three years later, Floyd's name made it into only three Times items -- fleetingly and barely.

"Are the media (and Democrats, and Hollywood, and corporate America, and the universities and grade schools, and hospitals and military and President Biden) hoping we'll forget about their weird campaign to make black Americans even angrier?

"Since May 25, 2020, the single-minded message delivered to black people, without interruption or contradiction, has been that they live in a country steeped in white supremacy, anything bad that happens to them is proof of racism, and oh by the way, the police are trying to kill them.

"The You Are a Victim! message is unlikely to produce stellar behavior in anyone. Directed at a group that already had a pretty high rate of criminal offending, it nearly destroyed our country.

"By the end of 2020, the national homicide rate had shot up an unprecedented 30% and has continued to climb since then.

"As Heather Mac Donald writes in her new book, "When Race Trumps Merit":

" 'New homicide records were set in 2021 in Philadelphia, Columbus, Indianapolis, Rochester, Louisville, Toledo, Baton Rouge, St. Paul, Portland, and elsewhere. The violence continued into 2022. January 2022 was Baltimore's deadliest month in nearly 50 years, with 36 people killed, compared to 35 in 1973, when the city's population was much larger."

. . ."But the 98% of black people who are killed by other black people are of zero interest to the media or the Democratic Party. It's that crucial .01% of blacks killed by cops that get the headlines." . . .

If Historian Posted Pics to Help Biden After Fall, He Did the Opposite – RedState

President Trump shows his sensitive side in reacting to Biden's fall - American Thinker

"Trump added that it is inappropriate to make jokes about Biden's mental state, and he revealed that he had told Hannity to refrain from joking about Biden's compromised cognitive and mental state.

" 'I said I just don’t think it’s good for anybody. It’s not appropriate. You can speak about it if you want, but I don’t think you should joke about it," Trump said.

WATCH: Trump's Response to Biden's Fall Shows Big Difference Between the Two – RedState  . . ."Let’s start with the first part. It is not normal or okay that we have a president so old, a man who will be 82 years old on inauguration day if re-elected, that he can’t help but fall down and hit his head on things multiple times a year. We’ve all been through this in real life with our own elderly relatives. As people age, they tend to suffer various injuries that younger people simply avoid. That’s one of the reasons we shouldn’t have presidents that are 80 years old.

"At what point does the White House stop succeeding in covering this stuff up by claiming he’s fine? It’s not surprising at all he hit his head coming out of Marine One given how vicious his fall at the USAF academy was. The claims that he was uninjured are laughable. At the very least, he was likely dazed by the incident and sore afterward.

"But perhaps the White House can keep pretending everything is fine into perpetuity as long as they have pool reporters willing to write shameless screeds like that. The description of Biden bumping his head and then walking away from Marine One is downright Soviet. It’s as if the reporter were being paid by the amount of slavish praise he could fit into a few paragraphs.". . .

Trump's Criticism of His Former Press Sec Costs Him an Endorsement

 Townhall

“I cannot condone the vitriol and disregard for others that Trump has been exhibiting," Spillane added.  

"A New Hampshire Republican said he is switching his support from former President Trump ot Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis following the 45th president’s harsh criticism of his former press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany.

“I was one of the 51 original endorsers for former President Trump. But I cannot further continue endorsing him,” said New Hampshire state Rep. James Spillane. “I am withdrawing my endorsement. And I’m going to endorse Ron DeSantis,” he said. “The reason being that when I did endorse Trump I thought that he would be able to continue with a positive message, learn from his past mistakes and give us a way forward to continue the policies that he started before … But it’s become evident, especially with the latest attack on Kayleigh McEnany that there’s no loyalty in him.”

"Spillane’s announcement comes after he appeared on stage with Trump in April as one of the former president’s New Hampshire endorsers.   

“ 'He can’t be trusted to stay loyal to the people who supported him in the past,” Spillane added, while noting that DeSantis is “a loyal person” who “brings a positive message.”

Joy Reid, Kooky Guests Go All Out Priming Viewers to Hate Conservatives


 Poisonous Rhetoric: Joy Reid, Kooky Guests Go All Out Priming Viewers to Hate Conservatives | Newsbusters  "With a doctorate in racial and political gaslighting, MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid tag-teamed on Tuesday with progressive charlatans Joan Walsh of The Nation and Charlie Sykes of The Bulwark to lambaste the American right as braindead racists who’ve shunned the coronavirus vaccine, live to be perpetually angry, oppose Obama-era policies because they’re racists, and oppose aid for African-Americans.

"And like in a previous segment about Fox News, Reid reveled in recent corrections from News Corp-owned outlets despite multiple recent ethical and factual failures from MSNBC and fellow
Comcast-owned network NBC (see
 here, here, here, here, here, and here). The Fox hysteria was so mind-numbing that Walsh attacked Peter Doocy as a show-boater.

"Reid contrasted the supposed tens of millions of racists with her side, which has found success in “[t]he radical normalcy of the Biden administration” with “winning” thanks to “competence” on the part of President Biden.". . .

However, I can say with absolute certainty that none of these individuals would be permitted to remain in the corporate workforce in any capacity in their current condition. Would the Senate or House allow anyone under the influence of any substance (drugs or alcohol) vote on items before their committees? I see no cognitive difference in each instance. The whole political situation is pathetic and an absolute embarrassment for the people of this country on both sides of the aisle."

 Will Your Next Auto Be An EV? Most Say No: I&I/TIPP Poll – Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

In short, if nothing changes, the so-called EV revolution could be short-lived, barring an endless flood of government subsidies to keep it going.

of San Francisco City Hall.

"Policymakers inside the Biden administration have repeatedly assured Americans that electric vehicles (EVs) are an unavoidable and essential part of the “net-zero” carbon emissions world that they’re trying to regulate into existence. But despite hefty subsidies and future bans of gasoline-powered cars, Americans aren’t ready to jump on the EV bandwagon, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.

"For our most recent online public opinion poll of 1,412 drivers, taken from May 3-5, we asked a straightforward question of consumer intent: “How likely will you consider buying/leasing an electric vehicle for your next car?”

"Among those responding, 53% said they were “not likely” to consider an electric car, while 39% said they were “likely” to. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.6 percentage points.

"But, to spout an inevitable cliche, the devil once again lurks in the details. Just 16% of those answering the poll said they’re “very likely” to consider an EV, versus 23% who said they were “somewhat likely.”

"On the other side, more than a third — 36% — said they were “not at all likely” to consider an EV. Another 17% said they’re “not very likely” to do so.". . .

‘Fastest girl in Connecticut’ Chelsea Mitchell suing state after losing to trans athletes

 

“ 'At the end of the day, this is just about fairness,” Chelsea Mitchell told The Post. “This is about biology.”

"The 20-year-old is fighting for the integrity of women’s sports after she lost more than 20 races over the course of her high school career — thanks to a Connecticut policy that allows transgender athletes to compete in girls’ sports.

"Now, Mitchell, who has declared herself “the fastest girl in Connecticut,” is challenging her state’s policy in court.

"Mitchell is teaming up with fellow Connecticut residents Selina Soule, 20, Ashley Nicoletti, 19, and Alanna Smith, 19, who ran high school track in the state at the same time she did.

"The four are suing the Connecticut Association of Schools and the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference, seeking to overturn a policy that allows transgender athletes to compete in accordance with their gender identity rather than their biological sex.

“ 'I wanted to give voice to my story and help other girls out there so that they wouldn’t have to experience this,” she said.". . .

Comments:  This will not end here. Wait 'till players who washed out of the NBA, or weren't drafted by an NBA team out of college, get wise to this madness and start applying for the WNBA as trans women.

I grew up in CT as well. Very glad these girls are fighting for their basic human rights. Nothing against gays or trans individuals who deserve the same, but this trans madness must end. Boycott Bud Light, Target etc.

I feel honestly stunned that these trangender females father's didn't teach them any honor as dads would be expected to teach their sons, or teach them that's its wrong for men to abuse women. When you steal away athletic these wins and opportunities, and even self-confidence from women, that's what it is - man on woman abuse.

George Soros’ Son Alex Soros Has Reportedly Visited the Biden White House 17 Times

Money equals power.

"The Soros family gets this kind of access because they give a lot of money to the Democrats. They do not have a pro-traditional America agenda."

Report: George Soros’ Son Visited Joe Biden’s White House at Least 17 Times

George Soros’ son, Democrat megadonor Alex Soros, reportedly visited the White House at least 17 times since President Joe Biden assumed office.

White House visitor logs show Alex Soros, chair of his father’s far-left Open Society Foundations, maintains a high degree of influence with the Biden administration. Over the course of more than two years, Alex Soros visited the White House at least 17 times, according to visitor logs obtained by Fox News:

Alex’s most recent visits include three meetings between February 8th and 10th, records released Tuesday show. The visitor logs list Jon Finer, the principal deputy national security adviser; Jordan Finkelstein, special assistant to the president and the chief of staff for senior Biden adviser Anita Dunn; and Mariana Adame, the adviser to the counselor of the president, as the individuals who greeted Alex.

It remains unclear precisely who Alex may have met with for the sessions, as the records can contain White House staff who book appointments, meet the guests and take them to other personnel.

"What do you suppose he is discussing with people at the White House?"

MLB Players Could Protest Anti-Christian Hate By Refusing To Play

 The Federalist

"The Los Angeles Dodgers’ appalling decision to honor an anti-Christian hate group called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence during their “Pride Night” on June 16 has been met mostly with a deafening silence from the vast majority of Major League Baseball players. Even Catholics, whose faith is particularly singled out for mockery by this LGBT hate group, have been largely mute.

"As of this writing, only four players in the entire league have said anything about it, and one of those four has already caved to the rainbow mob. The only Catholic player to come forward has been Trevor Williams, a starting pitcher for the Washington Nationals. Williams denounced the Dodgers and called on his fellow Catholics “to reconsider their support of an organization that allows this type of mockery of its fans to occur.”

"The only Dodgers player to come forward so far has been relief pitcher Blake Treinen, who also released a clear statement Tuesday criticizing the Dodgers organization for honoring the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, rightly saying the group “promotes hate of Christians and people of faith.”

"The statements from Williams and Treinen were infinitely better than the cowardly response of Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw, who contented himself with a nonresponse. Instead of addressing the issue head-on, he weakly announced the return of “Christian Faith and Family Day” at Dodger Stadium after a hiatus. “For us, we felt like the best thing to do in response was, instead of maybe making a statement condemning or anything like that, would be just to instead try to show what we do support, as opposed to maybe what we don’t,” Kershaw told the Los Angeles Times recently.

"For Kershaw, it seems, the Dodgers should get a pass for awarding a group that openly mocks Christians as long as the Christians get an appreciation night of their own later in the season. What nonsense. It’s like having Christian appreciation night at the Temple of Artemis right before marching the Christians off to the Colosseum. Far from being “the best thing to do,” it would have been better had Kershaw said nothing." . . .

You Asked for a Rebuttal, Dad

..."Tell me, Dad, would you have wanted me, at the age of let’s say, 10, looking at a cartoon depiction of oral sex between a ten-year-old (like me at the time) and an adult? How about a well written description without pictures? Honest answer please."...

 You Asked for a Rebuttal, Dad - American Thinker   "So my Dad sent me an article in Vanity Fair titled "The GOP is Escalating its War on Ideas" jumping all over the GOP for “banning books.” 

"I knew what was coming before I ever clicked the link. In fact, I didn’t actually click the link, instead I placed a phone call to my Dad. I told him I knew what was in the article without reading it, and was ready to debunk it immediately. He told me he didn’t want to hear my opinion, regardless of if I read the article or not, and that I needed to expand my horizons, look at the opposing side, and if I wanted to rebut the article, I should write my own. So I read the article, and here is my rebuttal.

"Nowhere in the article does Vanity Fair describe the actual content of the so-called “books” in question. They simply brand the GOP as book-burners and silencers of free speech, antagonists who have a desire to oppress the LGBTQ+ and BLM protagonists. And protect gun owners, the filthy right wingers! 

"They do their level best to make sure that the reader is appalled by the efforts of right-wing fanatics to ban books, and ideas, and of course, keep their guns. They don’t delve into what, exactly, might be controversial. They frame their argument by stating, as fact, that the GOP wants to exclude any and all “education” related to sexuality other than heterosexuality, and race any other than white, and keep their guns. No context needed at all. 

"They make no cogent argument in support of their assertions, but the writing is at least flowery and full of feelgood phrases designed to compel the reader into a wholesale nod of agreement. " . . .
