Democrat falls; media leaps to the rescue

 

Biden's fall was but one of several indications there that he is now unfit for the responsibilities he carries - American Thinker

For the sake of his well-being, his wife "Dr." Jill Biden and family must stage an intervention and get him to retire to a less stressful and hazardous lifestyle. . . .

 . . ."As David Zukerman reminds us, the legacy media have a double-standard for presidential falls and will never give Biden the treatment they gave Gerald Ford and Donald Trump for missteps.". . .

How the Media Reacted to Biden Falling Versus Trump Not Falling (freebeacon.com)  Have you heard this one? A Republican president and a Democratic president walked off stage after commencement speeches at military colleges three years apart. The media coverage was a joke.

"Then: In 2020, then-President Donald Trump slowly descended a ramp at West Point in New York after taking a weird sip of water, and mainstream media pretended it was a national crisis.

New York Times: "Trump’s Halting Walk Down Ramp Raises New Health Questions"

"President Trump faced new questions about his health on Sunday, after videos emerged of him gingerly walking down a ramp at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and having trouble bringing a glass of water to his mouth during a speech there.". . .

If Joe’s a No-Go, Then Who?  . . ." Except in physical features, there wouldn’t be a dime’s worth of difference between any of them.  There wasn’t in 2020, and there wouldn’t be next year, either.  Whoever the nominee is, if he/she/it is elected President, he/she/it will do exactly what the Far Left of the Democratic Party tells him/her/it to do, just like Joe Biden is doing right now.  They might as well renominate Joe, for whoever follows him would be a Joe-clone.  Well, they could nominate a hill of beans.  Half of America would vote for it.  The Marxist Far Left is in total control of the Democratic Party and will allow none but one of theirs as the nominee.  And every Democrat knows it.". . .

All over America, Conservative boycotts work, but the Left's boycotts almost never do except when they try to make a group or corporation even more woke than they already are.

Woke Capitalism: How Huge Corporations Demonstrate Status by Endorsing Political Radicalism (ammo.com)     . . ."The very notion of dialogue and civil debate isn’t just missing. There’s a deep hostility to the notion that there is any point of view other than the most woke possible. There is a line in the sand: On one side, there are the people who believe that America is a profoundly racist country and that this colors every aspect of our history. On the other side, there’s anyone who is even mildly skeptical of this – and the people on this side are “white supremacists.” By the logic of wokeism, these people deserve anything that happens to them (including being “cancelled”).

"What this means is that wokeism does not simply operate in the background of the rest of society. You cannot simply ignore the cringe-inducing woke commercials on your television and not click the frankly hateful and racist articles of the woke online. Your compliance is a required aspect of wokeism. Think back to the social media phenomenon of large companies denouncing alleged “white supremacy” with a black square. Compliance with this was required, as if one were painting blood over their threshold to avoid the plague of the firstborn in ancient Egypt.". . .

Supreme Court rules 8-1 against unions' claimed right to destroy employer property during strikes, with just one justice (Biden's choice) not getting the memo

The other eight are obviously racist. Let's ask the "View" ladies, shall we?.

 Monica Showalter; American Thinker  "Someone who doesn't know what a woman is wouldn't be expected to know much about strike law, either.

"That brings us to Supreme Court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who served as the lonely dissenter on a cut-and-dried case regarding sneaky union tactics that destroyed company property during a strike.

"Even the other liberals on the Court went along with the majority, 8-1, in the ruling.  But not she.". . .

"What Jackson misses here is that strikes for companies are the deprivation of company labor, not company property.  If workers walk off the job, they had better turn the lights out and the machinery off and leave the fridges on.  They had better not get the cement mixers started and leave them running for ruin because now they'll face a few consequences of their own.  All they have to do is go on strike, taking "reasonable precautions" not to spoil work or property left unfinished.  They can't wreck the place on the way out and call that their "protected behavior" and rely on the political hacks at the National Labor Relations Board to cover for them.

"It goes to show that Jackson is a creature of union interests, not an impartial justice.  One wonders how she'd rule in cases like Antifa burning courthouses in its strike "duties" or Black Lives Matters rioters looting shops in their strike "duties," too.  Would she defend those characters with the same logic?  Don't hold your breath that she wouldn't.". . .

The Case for Ron DeSantis -

 

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics 

 He single-handedly made the nation's largest swing state ruby-red.

"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ much-anticipated 2024 presidential campaign is finally here. DeSantis is, by any empirical metric or otherwise reasonable estimation, the only person with a viable chance of defeating former President Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination. What follows is a straightforward affirmative case for DeSantis’ candidacy, written from the perspective of someone who moved to the Sunshine State during the COVID-19 pandemic due in no small part to his courage, independent judgment, and dynamic leadership during that most woeful chapter of recent American history.

"President Ronald Reagan famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.'” That was an accurate assessment at the time Reagan said it, when America was drowning in punitive taxation and draconian regulation. In the year 2023, by contrast, overweening government is certainly still a threat, but the single all-encompassing threat facing the American people is the metastasis of the woke ideology, which spreads like a cancer and is weaponized by the out-of-touch ruling class elites who populate all the major institutions of our political and civic life. 

"There is no elected official in America who better understands this reality and — even more important — who has wielded political power to repeatedly fight back against it than Ron DeSantis. Whether it is anti-Americanist critical race theory or gender ideology indoctrination in the elementary school classroom, the university faculty lounge or the corporate boardroom, DeSantis has taken decisive measures to defend civilizational sanity and curtail or outright proscribe the dissemination of wokeism’s corrosive tenets.

"DeSantis’ righteous crusade to remake New College of Florida as a “Hillsdale College of the South” is perfectly emblematic of the approach now needed to recapture lost institutions, over a century into the Left’s insidious “long march,” to salvage and revive the American experiment in ordered liberty. DeSantis’ similarly righteous crusade against The Walt Disney Company is the encapsulation of how a conservative elected official evinces “knowing what time it is” amidst today’s woke-addled social decay: the prudential wielding of political power to bolster the forces of civilizational sanity and punish the forces of civilizational arson within the confines of the rule of law. His ongoing battle against a Fortune 500 corporate behemoth may offend the delicate sensibilities of libertarian purists and “zombie Reaganites” wedded to outmoded 1980s-era bromides, but it reveals a sound understanding that, in the year 2023, corporate America is firmly on the side of civilizational arson — not civilizational sanity." . . .

Joe Biden Keeps Lying That His Son Died in Iraq -

 

"Don't make eye contact. Don't make eye contact. Don't look"

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

In fact, he lies about an assortment of his dead relatives.

But carting out dead relatives to gain sympathy with voters by embellishing their manner of death amounts to not a mode of grief but exploitation.  WWGWD? — What would George Washington do — makes for a good guide for politicians. WWGSD? — What would George Santos do — makes for a bad one.

"My son was a major in the U.S. Army,” Joe Biden told Marines stationed in Japan on Thursday. “We lost him in Iraq.”

"Beau Biden died in Bethesda, not Baghdad. He did so six years after he took his last step in Iraq.

"The president’s son served honorably and sacrificed much, particularly when considering that back home a wife, two kids, and a job as attorney general of Delaware waited for him. His father served as vice president for much of Beau Biden’s time in Iraq, so he did not benefit, at least in the location of his deployment, from the special treatment that occasionally shields the children of politicians from unpleasant duty.

"All that does not grant anyone the right to insinuate that he made the ultimate sacrifice, as about 4,500 of his fellow American servicemen did.

"The president apparently believes, or feigns to believe, that the existence of burn pits to dispose of trash caused his son’s death, and his votaries, including one who accused his critics of “ignoring the full story,” go along with his specious claim or pretend that he does not keep repeating this canard.

"Incinerating trash predates Operation Iraqi Freedom, and burn pits — which exist stateside among civilians, too — rank significantly below IEDs in terms of wartime dangers.

"Do burn pits even cause cancer? Joe Jackson, a scientist of song, famously sang, “Everything gives you cancer.” One guesses that this includes huffing the fumes from a burn pit. Guesses aside, actual scientific data does not support the president’s claims.

“ 'Existing statistics do not indicate that Iraq veterans are more affected by brain cancer than other veteran groups,” FactCheck.org reports, “although no comprehensive data is available to definitively say one way or the other.” The group’s headline said, “Biden exaggerates the science on burn pits and brain cancer.' ” . . .

Woke Corporate Governance Often Stems From Involved Investment Firms

 

AF Branco 

Former Anheuser-Busch Exec (resistthemainstream.com)  "A former Anheuser-Busch executive blames a handful of hedge funds for divisive corporate policies that cost his former employer billions.

"Anson Frericks remarked during a Friday interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters that many social governance policies emanate from money managers. Frericks noted BlackRock and Vanguard as examples.

"Corporate advocacy of LGBTQ agendas has fomented boycotts that cost Anheuser-Busch more than $15 billion. Stocks of retailers like Target and Kohl’s have recently tanked after social media amplified their LGBTQ support.

"Fox News further reported:

Woke corporate governance, which recently led to the fiscal hemorrhaging of Anheuser-Busch and Target, often begins with investment firms pressuring them to behave in certain ways, a former executive at the beer conglomerate said.

UPDATED 6/3: Fox News Openly Admits It Will Have to Adhere to the Left's Woke Agenda

When we put Democrats in power over our nation:

 Fox News Openly Admits It Will Have to Adhere to the Left's Woke Agenda (townhall.com)

"The Left’s woke agenda is melting into every aspect of Americans’ lives. It has taken over children’s books and movies, the month of June, beer, clothing, and now conservative news. 

"Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner admitted on-air that the Right-leaning network might have to give in to the radical, progressive narrative in response to mandated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies to comply with woke state laws. 

"Faulkner referred to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mandates that are beginning to be enforced by various states nationwide— especially in New York {where Fox News is headquartered), in which liberals are not only allowed but encouraged to let their freak flags fly. 

“ 'What will be interesting about Chick-fil-A is, can they do both? Can they keep the DEI in the front of the car?” questioned Faulkner. “Because many states are mandating it now. Here at Fox, other corporations, there will be things they’re going to have to change because the state of NY requires it.”

"Last week, Chick-fil-A caused a firestorm among longtime customers over its stance on DEI policies. The fast food restaurant— known for being a conservative, Christian eatery— joined the Left’s woke cult by applauding diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. 

“ 'If their states start mandating it,” Faulkner added. “Some of these companies are going to have to start doing things that they said they’d never do.' ”

UPDATE: What do you do when the LGBT coercion gets personal? - American Thinker  . . ."I am not concerned about ending up on a stake of a Chicago bridge, but I also find myself where silence is no longer permitted by the DIE fascists who control every one, it seems, of our institutions.  Compelled speech is the order, and I do mean order, of the day in every business endeavor.

"And now it is June, and all institutions must proclaim their approval of and solidarity with the modern-day version of Henry’s ill begotten marriage — post the rainbow flag, everywhere and anywhere, or be considered a bigot.  On corporate websites, on email, on Facebook profiles, silence is no longer okay.  Only in-your-face, loud and thunderous approval of that to which you are indifferent or do not approve will be accepted.  And why?

"The 2SLGBTQIA+ mob need your affirmation.  Like Henry, they know there are issues with the legitimacy of the current looniness that has taken over the gay world.  They need all of our affirmation.  Everywhere and always.". . .

California Lawmakers Will Honor Anti-Catholic Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Member

California Lawmakers Will Honor Anti-Catholic Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Member | The Daily Wire

"Go forth and sin some more!" is the group's motto.

California lawmakers plan to honor a member of the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” despite backlash over the Los Angeles Dodgers also honoring the anti-Catholic drag group.

The “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” is an organization of men who dress in drag queen versions of Catholic religious habits and claim to have a “ministry,” according to its website.

The California State Legislature’s LGBTQ Caucus will honor Michael Williams, a member of the “Sisters” who goes by “Sister Roma” and uses “she/her” pronouns.

“For more than three decades, Sister Roma has been one of the most  outspoken and globally recognized members of San Francisco’s Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” the caucus said in an announcement about its 2023 “Pride Honorees.”

"The caucus said that every year, it invites honorees from around the state to attend a daylong celebration in the state capitol.

“ 'The LGBTQ Caucus recognizes these incredible people for their efforts in helping to advance representation, as well as for being an inspiration to the LGBTQ+ community and its allies,” the caucus said.". . .

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.” . . .
