Does Biden make you miss Obama?

Time for Western Democracies to Stand with Iranian People (townhall.com) "Iran has been rocked by anti-government protests for years but the uprising that began in September 2022 is fundamentally different. With citizens taking to the streets, they are now demanding not only specific political and economic changes, but rather a complete overhaul of the ruling regime itself.  These protests have been met with violent crackdowns by authorities, which has resulted in hundreds of deaths and thousands of arrests. The executions of detainees have come in waves, with at least 130 beautiful young lives taken in since April 21 alone, including three young protesters on May 18." . . .

. . ."The Iranian people do not need material support from the West but deserve to know that they are not alone in their struggle for human rights, democracy and the establishment of a democratic, secular republic, and that the world is watching and supporting their efforts. So, in lockstep with U.S. Congressional sentiment, the international community should also provide moral and political support to Iranian people by recognizing their legitimate democratic demands and aspirations. These sentiments are duly expressed in House Resolution 100 and in this month's joint hearing of the Iran Women Congressional Caucus and Iran Human Rights and Democracy Caucus.  It is in this context that political and moral support for the people can play a critical role in promoting positive change.". . .

Why Obama Let Iran's Green Revolution Fail - Bloomberg

The president wanted a nuclear deal, not regime change.

. . ."But Obama wasn't just reluctant to show solidarity in 2009, he feared the demonstrations would sabotage his secret outreach to Iran. In his new book, "The Iran Wars," Wall Street Journal reporter Jay Solomon uncovers new details on how far Obama went to avoid helping Iran's green movement. Behind the scenes, Obama overruled advisers who wanted to do what America had done at similar transitions from dictatorship to democracy, and signal America's support.

Solomon reports that Obama ordered the CIA to sever contacts it had with the green movement's supporters. "The Agency has contingency plans for supporting democratic uprisings anywhere in the world. This includes providing dissidents with communications, money, and in extreme cases even arms," Solomon writes. "But in this case the White House ordered it to stand down."

2017: The Tunnel Wall: Plundered and looted by the mullahs, Iran's angry people protest

Why Obama Betrayed the Iranian People - American Thinker  . . ."No strike on Iran.  No sanctions.  Just diplomacy -- with a genocidally inclined and fanatically intransigent regime whose contempt for Obama's overtures made the president look increasingly beggarly as his presidency wore on.

"It is no mystery why many wonder which side NIAC is really on.  And as long as it continued to wield such influence in Washington and held the ear of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, the freedom-fighters in Tehran didn't stand a chance.

"From the beginning of the unrest, the CIA should have been at work inside Iran, helping the dissidents and reformers and strategizing about the removal of the country's nuclear weapons.  And the president of the United States should have spoken out strongly in favor of the demonstrators, and freedom.  But instead, Obama said: "I've made it clear that the United States respects the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and is not interfering with Iran's affairs."

"Imagine: the people of Iran -- not the jihadis and the devout, but the women and the secularists -- were all calling for the head of the snake.   Iran is indeed the head of the snake.  Imagine the direction that the world might have taken if the greatest force for good, the United States, had stepped in to help the people of Iran remove that key part of the Axis of Evil.  Iran is now doing business as Hezb'allah in Lebanon and is the engine and puppetmaster behind Syria.  It supports Hamas and the Taliban, is agitating the Shia in Bahrain, and more.

"And if that weren't heinous enough, now the colluder in the White House is hiding behind his empty shell of a secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, as she throws the blame for the administration's betrayal of the Iranian demonstrators onto the stealth jihadists and Khomeini-aligned quislings they threw in with.  They should have thrown them out of country for working for our mortal enemy.

Cracker Barrel just told Bud Light to ‘Hold my beer’

 My favorite store!

Just as normal Americans experience a sense of revulsion when they think of Bud Light or Target, it’s to be hoped that this revulsion extends to Cracker Barrel. Nobody needs to buy a Cracker Barrel meal, and nobody needs to accept the not-so-subtle middle-finger Cracker Barrel just offered to its most loyal customers. 

Andrea Widberg - American Thinker  "Bud Light, to date, seems to have committed corporate suicide because of its endorsement relationship with Dylan Mulvaney, who makes a living by pretending to be a little girl. (Mulvaney is clever because he sweeps in both the pro-transgender crowd and the pedophile crowd.) The backlash showed that Bud Light totally misread its customer base, which now views the product with revulsion. So what does Cracker Barrel, which has a similar customer base, decide to do? Send out a pro-Pride tweet!

Cracker Barrel, which originated in Tennessee, has been around for 54 years. Its corporate identity is that it offers customers the experience of an old-time country store and some good country cooking. It sells itself to middle America by supporting patriotic values. Wikipedia sums up the experience nicely:". . .

. . ."On Thursday, Cracker Barrel revealed how it’s decided to respond to “the challenge of navigating an environment of softer consumer demand,” when those consumers are traditionally older and more conservative. It’s aiming for the youthful leftist consumer by celebrating “Pride”:"


“We take no pleasure in reporting that Cracker Barrel has fallen,” tweeted the Texas Family Project. As evidence, the Texas group cited a two-page flyer from the restaurant chain celebrating Pride Month, its participation in which appeared to be a few rainbow-colored sponsored rocking chairs.

. . ."Culture wars have engulfed a number of companies of late, in particular Anheuser-Busch InBev, which ran a social-media campaign with Dylan Mulvaney, featuring her holding a personalized Bud Light can with her picture on it marking the anniversary of her gender transition. Shares of U.S.-listed Anheuser-Busch InBev have dropped 10% over the last month as Bud Light, and other of its beer brands, have seen sales skid in the U.S.

"When it came to the Cracker Barrel situation, many Twitter users lampooned the concern.". . .

Democrats, with the help of the mostly complicit media -and President -, are seeking to destroy the greatest country that ever existed as fast as they can

The founding fathers came to America and made "We the People" the most important component to our success and freedom. Democrats have decided that "We the government" is much more important than "We the people" 

Ian Macfarlane

 Democrats, with the help of the mostly complicit media, are seeking to destroy the greatest country that ever existed as fast as they can - American Thinker. . ."Democrats want all kids that can’t afford to go to private schools to be forced to go to public schools, no matter how bad the results are. Republicans want children of all income levels and all races to have freedom of choice, which would allow them the greatest opportunity to succeed. 

"National Democrats want all public schools to allow boys to compete with girls in sports and to share locker rooms with them. Republicans believe this is nuts and dangerous. 

"Democrats also want to control what kind of energy you use. Republicans believe people should have the choice to buy electric cars and appliances if they want but should not be forced. 

"Why doesn't the media report things about the climate that don't correspond with the dire predictions we have heard for decades? The answer is obvious. Facts don't make any difference to the media and other Democrats when they are pushing an agenda to control the people. They want to intentionally mislead students. They do not want students to ask any questions or do any research. After all, the media refuses to ask questions and do research themselves. That is why Democrats oppose letting poor and minority kids go to better schools. ". . .

Liberal News Host Melts Down After Guest Points Out Hypocrisy In Trump Indictment (townhall.com)  "There's this issue – nice try," Trusty said, referring to when Biden was found guilty of having classified documents in his possession. 

" 'There's an issue that anyone that reads any newspapers would agree is a parallel track, which is the Delaware document scandal of Joe Biden," Trusty continued. "You have the ultimate unclean hands of a current sitting president who had no declassification, had none of the protections of President Trump, and who literally had to have stolen stuff from a skiff." 

"Stephanopoulos was speechless after Trusty pointed out the obvious difference between how Biden and Trump are treated. ". . .

 Biden Criticized For Not Being Interviewed Yet In Classified Docs Probe As Trump Faces Indictment (townhall.com)

This is a joke that will be repeated over and over by the media and other Dems: ‘No one is above the law’

 This is a joke that will be repeated over and over by the media and other Dems: ‘No one is above the law’ - American Thinker 

But if you are a Republican who wants to drain the swamp, question an election, or dare ask that foreign officials investigate the corrupt Biden family, you will be impeached and investigated endlessly in search of a crime. 


  "Here is a short list of people who have essentially been above the law no matter how many lies they tell under oath or how many crimes they commit. 

  • Hillary Clinton
  • Lois Lerner
  • Eric Holder
  • James Clapper
  • Adam Schiff
  • Fifty-one former intelligence officials who vouched for a fictitious document to elect a corrupt Democrat.
  • Andrew McCabe
  • James Comey
  • Joe Biden. . .
. . ."Others less prominent can destroy cities and kill and maim cops and others and few will be prosecuted.

"They can illegally enter this country without fear of being prosecuted.

"No matter how often you lie or commit other crimes, the complicit media will hire you as long as you target Republicans and repeat the talking points to push the radical leftist agenda."

DeSantis Attacks Indictment of Trump – The American Catholic

Hail to the Brave Parents Who've Had Enough of the Sexualization of Children –

But perhaps the greatest falsehood of all that has been pounded into their brain is that they must always show “tolerance,” including for those who are openly grooming their children—those who will never show tolerance once they’re in complete control, which is not far off. 

 PJ Media 

 A huge fight [video] broke out outside the Glendale School Board meeting in Los Angeles as parents, many of them from the Armenian-American community, came to protest the school’s pride events. Naturally, the left-wing zealots—read “Antifa”—showed up in force, and as you will see, some serious punches were thrown on both sides. A heavy police presence attempted to stop the fighting, violently pulling apart combatants to prevent serious injury.

"A very similar incident took place last October, when Muslim parents expressed their outrage at and vociferously condemned Dearborn school board officials for including books in school libraries that promote sexual deviancy (masquerading under euphemisms such as “pride,” “inclusivity,” etc.).

"When the Dearborn outburst occurred last October, some observers thought that Muslims were somehow uniquely placed to stand against the lgb-whatever agenda—that Muslims, due apparently to some “innate” conservatism, could become the natural leaders of a coalition of concerned parents.

"And yet, what the Armenians did yesterday—not just shout down but engage in an all-out brawl in defense of their children—was even more dramatic.". . .

Ron DeSantis On Education and Indoctrination in Classrooms (americanpigeon.org)  . . ."Notable moments include when DeSantis talked about teachers loving when parents take an interest in their children’s education because otherwise it is harder to reach kids when the parent is absent.

“ 'The only people who don’t want the parents involved [in their children’s education] are those who fear that parental involvement will impede their design to use the education system for ideological indoctrination.”

"DeSantis stressed the importance of education over indoctrination, arguing that when we stick to basic subjects, like science and history, rather than divert our attention toward ideology, we will see the achievement five to 15 years from now when the children are grown up. We need to “stay within the boundaries between education versus indoctrination,” he continued.

“ 'Every parent has a right to send their kid to elementary school without having concepts like woke gender ideology jammed into their curriculum.” . . .

Biden to Surrender U.S. Sovereignty Giving WHO Authority over Pandemic Policies

 American Pigeon.   "One side effect of the move toward globalization has been the development of a network of judicial bodies with wide-ranging authority to alter domestic policy and domestic law,” writes Mary L. Volcansek and John F. Stack in Courts Crossing Borders: Blurring the Lines of Sovereignty. “What began as a mere side effect is now…a major force in shaping legal practice in many regions of the world and in driving resolution of human rights, economic, and even criminal issues.”

"As a college student reading that book some years ago, I saw it as a warning that as globalization and transnationalism intertwined individuals and societies to the rules of intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, like the World Economic Forum, then the greater their sovereignty at the peril of our own.

"The fear of that reality has reawakened after news broke that the Biden administration is negotiating with the World Health Organization (WHO) to cede control of domestic health policy in the event of another pandemic. Domestic policy, in the United States and other signatory countries, would then be determined by the Geneva-based United Nations subsidiary.

"Discussions between U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra and WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus began in September 2022, announcing “the U.S.-WHO Strategic Dialogue,” according to The Epoch Times. In a joint statement, they say that the dialogue “provides a platform to maximize the longstanding U.S. government-WHO partnership, and to protect and promote the health of all people around the globe, including the American people.”

"Birthed from these talks was the “zero draft,” where an “Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB)” was established to negotiate a pandemic treaty, wherein the WHO will have the authority over nations’ vaccine mandates, lockdowns, treatments, and making sure such policies are “equitable.”

"Under “Article 4. Guiding principles and rights,” the draft states that members will have “the sovereign right to determine and manage their approach to public health…provided that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause damage to their peoples and other countries.' ” . . .

WHO is running the club - American Thinker    "The UN lost any claim to being an international forum for democracy when the U.S. agreed to admit Stalin’s Soviet Union. The tossing of Taiwan for communist China was the death knell. Today, it uses the financial and political power of its committees to denounce democratic Israel.". . .

Biden's integrity

 

'Freudian Slip': Nancy Mace Torches Biden's Reaction to Bribery Allegations (townhall.com)

Biden Melts Down During Presser When Asked About Bribery Allegation, Gives Unbelievable Answer – RedState   "As we reported earlier, Joe Biden held a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of the United Kingdom on Thursday. He needed note cards to just do his greetings with Sunak, and he got confused about what the prime minister’s position was. That raised fresh concerns about his mental ability to do the job.
"Then the White House decided to throw caution to the wind and had him answer a few questions. Of course, he had a pre-approved list as he usually does, so he may also have the questions and answers in front of him as well.

But even that didn’t stop Joe from being Joe (that is, putting his foot in his mouth).

"Biden completely blanked out on part of what the question was that a reporter just asked him.". . .

"Biden himself has lied in the past, saying his son Hunter never got any money from China—when in fact he did, as the House Oversight Committee’s bank records proved."

 Parody: Trump Names Hunter Biden As His Running Mate So DOJ Will Stop Investigating Him | Babylon Bee    . . ."Unable to continue their quest against Trump, DOJ officials admitted defeat. "It's over," said a source within the department. "We're not allowed to go anywhere near Hunter Biden, so Trump and his campaign can now run roughshod. Much like the women Hunter hires at night, our hands are tied."

"At publishing time, new vice presidential candidate Hunter Biden, who had last been seen passed out in an alley after a 3-day crack cocaine bender, was unavailable for comment."

John Kennedy Has Very Little Use For Alejandro Mayorkas

What’s obvious is that the Biden administration wants the flood. They’ve had all the opportunity in the world to stem it and have chosen not to. And they’ve trotted Mayorkas out to eat bullets from the American people as the flood continues, which he does with a smugness and dishonesty it’s hard for anyone to tolerate.

 The Hayride   "This was a pretty brutal takedown of the Secretary of Homeland Security, whose department didn’t even exist prior to 9/11 and does very little to effectively provide real security for the American people. Instead, it inconveniences people at airports, it facilitates rather than deters illegal immigration, including from countries whose regimes mean us harm (and there is very little vetting of illegals who make it here), and it spends its time publishing memoranda about the phantom threat of “white supremacist” domestic terrorism.

"Mayorkas has become an avatar for this idiocy and failure mostly because when he shows up for hearings in the House and Senate he speaks in a comic pattern of filibuster and clear lies. But what’s true about Mayorkas is true of the entire Biden administration; it’s full of liars and incompetents who have only excuses for failures predetermined by their policies. It’s just that Mayorkas’ tragic failure at our southern border, something he simply will not own up to, is more high-profile than, say, Pete Buttigieg’s breaking of the supply chain or Jennifer Granholm’s destruction of the power grid or Lloyd Austin’s disintegrating woke military. DHS generates ugly video and awful headlines daily, unlike the others, and that’s what makes him such a prominent whipping boy for Republicans in these hearings.". . .

The left has us all doomed!

 Let's talk climate scares and wildfires - American Thinker  . . ."Finally, the authors ignore the major reasons for an increase in wildfires: arson, more arson, and the tinderbox created by poor forestry practices, and restriction of logging and harvesting of forests that decreases density.  Dense forests cause wildfires to be more frequent and of greater magnitude.

This paper is a part of a pattern — a poorly formulated claim of factoids is blown up into a basis for a scare.  But a reasonable analysis of the science shows the claims to be inadequately formulated.  Fossil fuel use and increased CO2 in the air are not the cause of any valid prediction of increased wildfire frequency or severity.". . .



Fearing 'climate change,' Ireland moves to kill the cows - American Thinker   "Ireland has announced plans to cull hundreds of thousands of cows to comply with European Union climate policy.  Similar initiatives in Belgium and the Netherlands ensure that beef prices will rise, but these proposals offer little environmental benefit.  Indeed, cows are the heroes, not the villains, in rescuing the climate.

"Ireland's push to eliminate 200,000 cows demonstrates the persistent folly of climate alarmism, while contrasting the shortcomings of renewable energy products.  The fundamental premise of the targeting of benevolent bovines is faulty: that cow burps cause damage to the environment.  Interestingly, the alternatives propounded — for humans to obtain protein instead from insects, or soy-based synthetic meat substitutes — will profit industries who are key partners in the globalist effort to eradicate cows." . . .

Regime idiots pounce on conveniently-timed 'wildfire' air pollution in New York - American Thinker   "Like clockwork, whenever there is a big storm, a flood, warming or cooling, a drought, or any other weather event, the green pushers come out and say the climatic activity is caused by humans and our use of natural resources.

"The solution is always the same, more money and power for the government, which they can then redistribute to their allies — and we always are in a race against time. Companies that produce reasonably priced energy must be destroyed, and the freedom of choice must be abolished, from the types of cars people choose to drive to the appliances to use in their home. 

"What we never see are facts that show scientific data linking coal, natural gas, or crude oil consumption directly to temperatures, storm activity, or sea levels…because there are none." . . .


CIA and FBI Celebrate Pride Month but Saw Catholics, J6 as Domestic Terrorists –

  PJ Media


Under Biden, the justice and law enforcement systems are becoming blatantly politically and even religiously partisan. For instance, while the FBI put plants in traditional Catholic churches to spy out supposed domestic terrorists and targeted Trump and Jan. 6 protestors, both the FBI and CIA have proudly and loudly advertised their support of LGBTQ madness." . . .

. . ."Despite a number of transgender shooters, multiple disruptive and violent transurrections” in various state capitols, and body-mutilating transgender surgeries that are being performed on countless minors who cannot fully understand that choice at their age, it doesn’t seem to occur to Biden’s FBI and CIA that LGBTQ ideologues could be radical or dangerous.

"But the FBI has put an immense amount of effort into helping track down and convict Jan. 6 protestors, most of whom were not violent. And it infiltrated traditional Catholic churches, despite the lack of evidence that such places are breeding grounds for violent radicalization. Not to mention the FBI’s outrageous raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home last year — Trump, Biden’s prime political opponent." . . .

Michelle Obama’s Exploitation of the Black Community -

Declared Republicans in the presidential race, especially Donald Trump, need to start dealing with Michelle Obama now. The best way to start is to pose these questions to her: “Michelle Obama, are you going to apologize to the Black Community in Chicago for what you did to them?” And, “Michelle, how much money did you make from White liberals denying access to health care to Black Chicago residents”?
Joel Gilbert; American Thinker   "As Obama operatives begin preparing for Michelle Obama to replace the faltering Joe Biden, they know have a problem on their hands: Michelle’s shameful history of exploiting the Black community. As I reveal in my film and accompanying book, Michelle Obama 2024: Her Real Life Story and Plan for Power, Michelle’s two most significant jobs in Chicago involved working on behalf of white liberal elites to deal with the problems that Black people were causing them.

"Chicago liberals couldn’t hire a White person to make 20,000 Blacks homeless. Their answer was to hire Michelle Obama. She became Mayor Richard Daley’s assistant planning commissioner. Her job was to facilitate the destruction of the low-income all-Black Cabrini Green housing project and cede the choice downtown real estate to Democrat party donors developers like Tony Rezko. Nor could the White liberal elites at the University of Chicago Medical Center hire a White person to deny access to health care to Blacks. Only a Black person could fill that job. For a cool $300,000 a year, Michelle was prepared to do all the denying that was needed. Michelle headed up the “South Side Health Collaborative,” a scheme to prevent Blacks who showed up at the University of Chicago Medical Center emergency room from receiving medical care. Michelle made sure they were put into white vans and shipped to crappy neighborhood strip mall clinics on the South Side.

"Only a Black person could credibly do either of these jobs while telling those turned away, “This is for your own good.” Why was Michelle Obama so callous toward the Black community in her professional career? The answer is simple: Michelle was never really a part of the Black community in Chicago. She was not even from the “South Side” of Chicago, as she claimed, but from South Shore, a middle class community on Lake Michigan. . . "
