Could Somebody Keep Trump's Promises?

 Ann Coulter

  Since taking office and largely stopping wall construction, Biden has
canceled border wall projects paid for by Pentagon funds.

 Two of Angela's illegal alien sisters -- out of 10 siblings in the country illegally -- had already fled California for Lexington, Kentucky, because, as one of them said, there were "fewer Mexicans there." The sister raved about Kentucky, saying, "We're in a state where there's nothing but Americans," citing the clean streets, police presence and lack of gang activity.

"If there is hope for America -- and I'm doubtful -- it came at 10 a.m. Monday in Eagle Pass, Texas, when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled his immigration plan.

"Much of the document is strikingly similar to Donald Trump's immigration plan from waaaaay back in 2016, the only minor exceptions being that DeSantis understands what it says and fully intends to carry it out.

"QUESTION: Why is it still possible to run on all of Trump's immigration promises? If broken promises were bricks, we'd have a wall.

"On the wall, DeSantis says: "The left tries to make fun of a border wall, but walls work. Israel built a 152-mile-long fence along its border with Egypt. Once completed, illegal crossings dropped by more than 99% year-over-year." (You'd think with Jared Kushner running the country, someone would've remembered that.)

"It's also clear that DeSantis, since he actually served in the military and didn't evade the draft with a serious case of "bone spurs," knows that the words "wage WAR on the drug cartels" is not just claptrap to fool the rubes. He promises to confront drug smugglers at the border "with the use of force," and further "reserves the right to operate across the border to secure our territory from Mexican cartel activities."

"Then there is Heavy D's magnificent section on anchor babies." . . .

Ana Navarro says Hunter Biden saga is 'the story of a father's love' | Washington Examiner    "The View hosts reacted on Monday to President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden's presence at a state dinner last week honoring Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the subsequent criticism that followed.

"Hunter Biden's plea agreement with the Department of Justice was revealed in a filing early last week. According to the filing, he will plead guilty to two counts of "willful failure to pay" his federal income taxes, and will also enter a "pretrial diversion agreement" for possession of a firearm "by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance" to avoid the felony charge.

"Some were shocked that Hunter Biden attended the high-profile state dinner.

"Hosts Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin defended Joe Biden and his son, hitting critics for a lack of compassion."

White House Refusing To Answer Questions About Hunter Biden’s Threatening WhatsApp Message

  Legal Insurrection  "Was Joe by the side of Hunter when Hunter threatened future retaliation if a Chinese businessman did not pay up? “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled…”

"One of the more interesting revelations from the IRS Whistleblower transcripts and documents released earlier this week was a WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to a Chinese businessman, threatening unspecified future retaliation if money were not paid. The message said twice that Hunter’s father was by his side.". . .

"So was Joe there or not? If not, then why not say so? If he was there, then that would contradict his repeated denials that he was involved in Hunter’s business dealings.

"It’s not clear if this conduct was criminal. It doesn’t seem to fit the federal definitions of blackmail and extortion, but there may be other criminal statutes that would apply. Regardless of whether it was criminal, it would be consistent with Biden family influence peddling, which seems to be the family’s main occupation.

"Yet no one at the White House press briefing room wanted to answer simple questions about it. NSC Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby practically ran away from questions." . . .

"And in a sign that the mainstream corporate media protection of Biden may be cracking numerous reporters tried to get answers from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who was having none of it: . . ."

Biden Abroad: The Moral and Material Collapse of U.S. Foreign Policy

. . ."It would be hard for a Chinese or Russian strategist to come up with a record better than Biden’s to emasculate America’s military and radically reduce its global stature."

  Victor Davis Hanson› American Greatness    "The American post-Cold War order from the Ronald Reagan through George W. Bush administration is over.

"Barack Obama began its erosion with his tired lectures about the past sins of the United States.

"Obama empowered radical Islamists. He invited Russia back into the Middle East after a forty-year hiatus. He snored while Vladimir Putin swallowed large areas of Ukraine. He nonchalantly allowed ISIS almost to take over Iraq. And he authored the Libyan misadventure.

"Joe Biden has greatly amplified what Obama inaugurated. He accentuates the Obama-authored foreign policy disasters by his own family corruption.

"If the U.S. had an honest media, a disinterested Department of Justice, and a professional FBI, the Biden family would likely be facing felony bribery charges and an impeachment vote for leveraging the interests of the U.S. for a few millions of Ukrainian and Chinese cash.

"Biden has forfeited any moral credibility America once had in sermonizing to the world about the advantages of transparent democracy.

"Instead, Washington under Biden went full Third-world. His family got rich from his offices, and Joe Biden warped government agencies in efforts to take out his next possible presidential rival.

"Antony Blinken, Biden’s current Secretary of State, is known mostly for meekly accepting a dressing down from Chinese diplomats in 2021 and subsequent ritual humiliations.

"Blinken was also the author of the 2020 election shenanigan of soliciting former intelligence authorities to publish a preposterous lie that Hunter Biden’s laptop had all the “hallmarks” of “Russian disinformation.” Blinken’s inspired farce was dreamed up to aid a then struggling candidate Biden in his last presidential debate." . . .

The hill we will die on -

They own the Democrat Party.

 American Thinker  . . ."Then came the transsexual movement, complete with "drag-queen story hours" for young children.  Some of those children have become the victims of surgical mutilation.  This has occurred in the context of politicians and educators telling us we have no right to know what our children are being taught in school.  We are being threatened with loss of custody of our children if we do not "affirm" their "gender identity," if that identity does not conform with their biological sex.  Recently, during a so-called "pride march," the chanting marchers sang out, "We're coming for your children."  Even if this was chanted supposedly in jest, it was about as funny as joking that they would rape our mothers.  I doubt that all those who chanted this did so merely as a taunt.

"The trans activists claim that their survival is threatened by those of us who oppose their extremism.  As more than one such activist has whined, we wish only to be left alone.  After all, what do we care whom they love, or how?

"But we have reached an inflection point, one in which we can no longer be dissuaded by such whining.  We can no longer tolerate their intolerance.  We need no longer attempt to reason with their unreason.

"As more than one person has commented on this site and others, using various words to express the thought: the trans activists have gone too far this time.  They have underestimated the parenting instinct that most of us have, the instinct to protect our children.  We have become like the sleeping giant, but not merely roused from slumber by an offense.  We have been awakened by a burning house.  We have to get the children to safety, even if at the cost of our own lives." . . .

Jeanine Pirro Slams Kamala Harris: ‘If Anything, She Has Established the Precedent That a Woman Is Incapable Of Being Vice President’

 Jeanine Pirro Slams Kamala Harris: ‘If Anything, She Has Established the Precedent That a Woman Is Incapable Of Being Vice President’ (msn.com)  

 "Jeanine Pirro went beyond the usual bashing of Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday’s edition of The Five, going so far as to claim Harris has set a “precedent” calling into question women’s fitness for the position.

"C0-host Dana Perino noted the prevalence of articles about the veep’s public image.

" 'Judge, one of the things that we get about Kamala Harris is about once a week, there’s a story – maybe it’s every other week – but it is a lot, that they have a new plan and a new makeover and a new plan to rehab her reputation,” Perino said. “And this now two and a half years into the administration and so far [it’s] not working.”

"Pirro responded by underscoring the importance of the abilities of the vice president, given that President Joe Biden is 80 and has announced he is running for reelection next year.

" 'She is literally a heartbeat away from the presidency,” Pirro said before citing a new Fox News poll. “Thirty-nine percent had very negative feelings about her, like, hated her. It’s not just negative with 49, 39, very negative. She has an office with a toxic work environment. People are fighting with each other to get to the exit door.”

"The host then castigated Harris for seemingly making it more difficult for women to ascend to high office.

“ 'This is a woman who was in a position to make it easy for other women behind her to come forward and do the job, where Americans can say, ‘You know, a woman is capable of doing this.'” she continued. “If anything, she has established the precedent that a woman is incapable of being vice president.

"Pirro went on to note Harris’ habit of laughing at odd times." . . .

Never forget Kamala Harris’ cruel lies in the Kavanaugh confirmation fight  "Considering that Biden, while chairing the Senate Judiciary Committee during the Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas hearings, helped pioneer the transformation of Supreme Court nominations into hyper-politicized, slander-laden circuses, his running mate’s actual record should come as no surprise.

"Harris was a ringleader in the circus surrounding Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination two years ago. Remember that? She may prefer you forget.

"Two years ago today, during his initial hearing, Harris tried to steal the show with a bizarre series of “gotcha” questions asking if he’d ever had a discussion about Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump campaign with any employees of the law firm Kasowitz, Benson & Torres.

"Kavanaugh appeared to have no idea what she was talking about, but he was astute to the Democrats’ tactic of setting perjury traps that would lead him into making inconsistent statements that could later be spun as lies.

"Harris’ tactics would not have been permitted in a courtroom. As it turned out, both Kavanaugh and the law firm denied any such conversations, and Harris said nothing more on the subject. A San Francisco Chronicle headline reported: “Kamala Harris’ viral grilling of Kavanaugh ends with a thud.” But she had gotten what she was looking for — a “viral moment” for social media — even though she later would be mocked for pursuing such viral moments indiscriminately." . . .

The Myth of Biden the Uniter

  It’s Biden who recently said that chasing moderate legislators into bathrooms to pressure them into supporting his agenda was just “part of the process.”

National Review

 . ."Anyway, Biden, a unifer at heart, noted many in media, had largely avoided such charged rhetoric. This, too, is a myth. It’s Biden who recently said that chasing moderate legislators into bathrooms to pressure them into supporting his agenda was just “part of the process.” It’s Biden who said that supporters of voter-ID laws are backing “21st-century Jim Crow.” He’s the one who calls Republicans “authoritarian” and claimed that we’re “facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. That’s not hyperbole, since the Civil War.” It is hyperbole. It is hyperbole most of the time.

"Biden has been a run-of-the-mill hyperpartisan demagogue for a long time. Watch some of his cringeworthy speeches on the Senate floor in the 1980s. Biden has been smearing judicial nominees for decades. When Biden accuses Republicans who disagree with him of “betting against America” or Mitt Romney — Mitt Romney — of wanting to put black Americans “back in chains” he is fueling paranoia, not comity. Biden’s “unity” talk, as it was with his old boss, Barack Obama, is little more than a pseudo-patriotic appeal meant to pressure Republicans into capitulation."

The Babylon Bee Is Fighting For Free Speech — And You Can Help |

 Babylon Bee

"The First Amendment is under constant assault in our nation. At The Babylon Bee, we fight on the front lines, wielding satire and silly jokes as weapons in a fight to preserve free speech in our culture. We've been fighting these battles since our inception. Some of the more notable examples include:

• 'Being accused by The New York Times of "trafficking in misinformation," resulting in us forcing the media giant to publicly issue a correction.
• Standing up and confronting "fact-checkers" from Snopes and USA Today (yes, they "fact-checked" jokes), despite the fact that we are a satire site.
• Filing an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court to support a humorist who was actually jailed because of a parody website.
• Suing the Attorney General's Office in the state of California to block the enforcement of a law requiring social media companies to regularly report "misinformation, disinformation, extremism, radicalization, and hate speech."
• Refusing to delete a tweet that resulted in our suspension from Twitter, which may or may not have started a chain reaction that led to Elon Musk buying Twitter and restoring multiple accounts that had been labeled "controversial."

"Despite this track record of success, the fight for free speech has only just begun. This year, we had a video sketch pulled from Facebook for "misinformation." Why? Because we made a joke about people who wear masks. In our recent interview with Elon Musk, he told us there is still censorship happening at Twitter, and though he's trying to weed it out, he is being met with resistance within his own company." . . .

'. . ."I honestly screamed when I flipped over the first picture and saw Hillary's psycho eyes," said assistant Jamie Reynolds. "I flipped to the next picture and screamed again — it looked like Schiff's eyes were bulging off the page. Next was the AOC picture, which I still can't believe is real. We had obviously found something.' "

Carlson added: "If you're looking for the leader of the coup, there he is right there."

 

Carlson Identifies the One Person Most Suited to Replace Joe Biden (townhall.com)

"In his Tuesday night monologue on Twitter, Tucker Carlson exposed how the war for democracy in Ukraine is actually unraveling democracy in the process. 

“We are currently fighting a war for democracy on behalf of a leader who just casually announced he's happy to end democracy and our democracy and supporting leaders have no problem with that,” he said, “in fact, they're strongly for it.” 

"Carlson was referring to President Zelensky’s response to a reporter wondering if elections will be held next year. 

“ 'If we win, there will be an election next year,” the Ukrainian leader said. “Elections should be held in peacetime when there is no war…”

 “ 'That's not just any autocrat, that's our chief ally in the war for democracy,” Carlson pointed out, adding that President Biden just reaffirmed America’s commitment to supporting Ukraine’s “defense and its sovereignty and its territorial integrity.” 

 "You should have seen this coming," Carlson said. "Wars for democracy always cancel democracy in the process - that's why our leaders love them and they all do it - even The Virtuous leaders Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus, the British government under Winston Churchill threw an entire opposition party into prison and let them rot for the duration - in some cases with their families. ". . .

Wait for it...

“We don't know obviously this is all just guessing but we do know whoever that is will have to have two essential criteria: he'll have to be as shallow, ruthless, and transactional as Joe Biden is, and he'll need to have flattery skills that are so polished and advanced they'd be considered superior even in the Saudi Royal Court and there's only one man in modern America who fits that description: Gavin Newsom, the  governor of California and perhaps not coincidentally Joe Biden's new closest friend.”

Imploded Titanic submarine seen for first time as pieces recovered up from sea floor

 The Independent | Latest news and features from US, UK and worldwide   

"Debris from the Titan was brought ashore by deep-sea robots on Wednesday as the US Coast Guard continues recovery operations following the sub’s catastrophic implosion.

"The Titan’s wreckage was seen for the first time in pictures after the Coast Guard announced on Thursday (23 Jd on Wednesday that its team had successfully completed off-shore operations and was now in the process of demobilization after ten days of work. The company said a press conference will be held later today.

The human suffering in our cities is a symptom of deep cultural rot. Here's how I plan to fix it

 Vivek Ramaswamy  

I don’t believe it has to be this way. After traveling the country and speaking with voters, I am more convinced than ever that we don’t have to be a nation in decline. But first, we have to make that choice — a choice to be better, to do better. And it starts with better policies.

"We frequently evoke the ideals of American excellence and exceptionalism. But earlier this week when I visited Kensington, Pennsylvania, what I saw was a third-world reality within our own country. Those needle-ridden streets are the direct consequence of a porous southern border and disastrous domestic policies that pay people to do the opposite of what we want them to do.

We get the leaders we deserve. Such as these.

"What I witnessed revealed to me the profound reality of the double consciousness that permeates our nation — the stark contrast between the grand ideals we champion versus the harsh realities faced by those dwelling in the depths of despair in Kensington. Regrettably, a Kensington can be found in nearly every corner of America.

"If we are only as strong as our weakest link, then Kensington is an unsettling portrait of an America in decline, embodying the antithesis of progress and optimism. This was not a representation of America first; it was a distressing manifestation of what happens when we enact bad policies that put America last.". . .
