‘It did not go well’: Kamala Harris delivers odd speech for Jesse Jackson’s retirement | The Courier Mail

Sky News host Rita Panahi says US Vice President Kamala Harris’ speech was not received well by the audience at US former shadow senator Jesse Jackson’s retirement.

“Again, we can only be eternally grateful that President Biden has such a capable veep in the White House,” Ms Panahi said.

“This week Kamala Harris took to the stage at Jesse Jackson’s retirement ceremony, it did not go well.”. . .

Kamala’s Population Bomb – Issues & Insights     "Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris received a round of applause when she said “​​when we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.” And with that, she pulled back the curtain to expose one of the many horrors that is usually endorsed not quite so openly by the political left.

"We acknowledge that Harris might have lost another one of the many battles she and her White House boss have with teleprompters and public speaking in general. The official transcript scrubs “population” and replaces it with “pollution,” as if that was the term the speech called for.

"Maybe it is the word she was supposed to use. But we can’t rule out the likelihood she made a Kinsley gaffe, revealing a truth she didn’t intend to, because her side of the aisle has long been aligned with population-reduction cranks.

"One Democrat who hasn’t been shy about population limits is Bernie Sanders, the Vermont bedlamite. During a 2019 town hall meeting, Sanders said “yes” when asked if he asked about “the need to curb population growth” in order to “address climate catastrophe.” He spoke for many that day." . . .

Biden's whistleblowers

Hunter’s Former Best Friend Will Testify That Hunter Had Dad On Phone Multiple Times With Foreign Business Partners | The Daily Wire  . . ."Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski has stated that Hunter Biden would routinely get his father on the phone during business calls with associates, saying:

John Kennedy Calls Out Dems for Their Racism Against Clarence Thomas in a Way Only He Can

  Townhall  "On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee did their markup on "ethics" legislation that is targeting the U.S. Supreme Court, all while hit pieces have come out against the conservative justices, especially Justice Clarence Thomas. Republicans have vowed to block it from passing. While the Supreme Court Code of Conduct Act did only pass out of Committee with votes from all Democrats, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) got an amendment in there that condemned racism against Thomas." 

"The amendment passed unanimously, which might be somewhat surprising, given that Democrats themselves are the ones who have gone after Thomas with such vitriol, as has been brought up at previous hearings. They also took some time in getting there with their support. As is the case whenever Kennedy makes a point, his remarks about the amendment are one for the ages. 

"Kennedy needed to dumb it down for Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) who needed clarification that the amendment would only refer to Thomas, as she insisted in bringing up "we condemn racism against any justice." 

"I don't understand the reluctance to accept the fact that Justice Clarence Thomas, who happens to be a black man, has been the butt of a lot of racist statements. And I don't understand reluctance to condemn those. And that's what my amendment does," Kennedy pointed out, as he went on to make clear "I don't want it watered down, I don't want to bubble wrap it, I don't want to sugar coat it, I want to say, big as Dallas, the United States Senate condemns all these racist things that have been said against Justice Clarence Thomas.". . .

U.S. women’s soccer national anthem reaction has enraged fans calling for it to have its ‘Bud Light’ moment

 Pennlive.com

"The U.S. women’s soccer team got its World Cup action going Friday with a 3-0 win over Vietnam.

"It was an impressive opening win for the two-time defending world champs, and there were many fans in the country happy to see them get the quest for a third straight title going so smoothly. But much of the discussion since has not been focused on the impressive performance, but what took place prior to the start of the game. That’s because during the playing of the national anthem, many of the U.S. women simply stared ahead as “The Star Spangled Banner” was played.

"Five players stood with their hands over their hearts, and three sang along with the song. "The rest mostly kept their hands behind their back."

"The list of players who remained silent included Megan Rapinoe, who told Yahoo Sports ahead of the 2019 World Cup that she would probably never sing the national anthem again."

WATCH: Climate Activist Wins Laugh of the Day, and a Perfect Response by Counterprotesters to Shut Them Up –

"I wrote earlier about the Just Stop Oil activists who stopped traffic and even tried to disrupt the British Open.

"They didn’t care if a desperate mom said she needed to get to the hospital with her baby. They didn’t care about the obvious point people were making to them, that they were increasing emissions by blocking cars. But the audience at the Open certainly cheered—when they were taken away and off the course, with the help of American golfer Billy Horschel.

"Climate activists think that their beliefs trump anyone else’s beliefs, jobs, babies, or any of the other things that you might be trying to do in your car when they block you. The activists don’t seem to care or perhaps even know how important oil is to everything we do, and is likely a part of all their clothes and the accessories that they’re sporting in these videos.

"Most of the activists are young people who have been taken in by this. But then, there are people like this lady. This take is something else, “The fish in the pond are dying!!!” . . .

Hollywood may be in its death throes, and deservedly so

Another thing to know about Hollywood, both past and present, is that it is now and has always been a place of unbridled debauchery. Where one finds power and money, one invariably finds pedophilia and other forms of sexual power politics and abuse.

Andrea Widberg; American Thinker "Hollywood once supported America and family values; it’s now antithetical to them. This means that many Americans are rooting for its collapse during a writers’ and actors’ strike over an industry change as significant and destructive as the advent of the car was to carriage makers.

"I’m a huge fan of pre-1960s movies, and I know a fair amount about the history of Hollywood. In Hollywood’s early years, the executives behind it were almost entirely Jewish immigrants who found a niche in a brand-new industry and filled it.

"Throughout the 1920s and into the very early 1930s, movie plots got progressively more sordid. However, in the face of combined pressure from consumers and politicians, Hollywood cleaned up its act, producing family- and America-friendly movies for the next 35 or so years until the social compact started falling apart in the mid-1960s.

"Beginning in the mid-1960s, Hollywood turned against America. This was in part because industry followed the Baby Boomers, who were a huge source of funds and who were moving left at warp speed.

"The trend accelerated as Hollywood actors, few of whom were credentialed, figured that they could give themselves an intellectual gloss if they followed campus social and political trends. With bully pulpits, publicists, and unbounded egos, they gave unsavory, unwashed, and unhinged academic intellectuals glamor and reach.

NEW: IRS Whistleblower Joseph Ziegler Battles Jake Tapper's Bias in Revealing Interview –

  RedState  

"A day after testifying on Capitol Hill, IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler appeared with CNN’s Jake Tapper to face further questioning.

"Ziegler, a registered Democrat who has over a decade of experience as an IRS case agent, laid out the corruption he saw involving the Hunter Biden investigation. At every turn, he and his team were hamstrung, with the DOJ refusing to even allow questions surrounding Joe Biden. Ziegler also testified that interviews of Hunter Biden’s adult children were also placed off limits. Other damning allegations include Hunter Biden’s legal team being tipped off to searches and U.S. Attorneys in districts outside of Delaware refusing to allow well-evidenced prosecutions.

"Tapper opened his interview with a resounding defense of U.S. Attorney David Weiss. Ziegler pushed back on the framing, noting that he and others were in the room with Weiss when the prosecutor made specific claims." . . .

The Democrat Party Of The Proudly Unwell And Perverts

  The Federalist

"It says a lot about the modern Democrat Party that its prominent figures like Rep. Eric Swalwell (California representative) and Beto O’Rourke (perpetually unemployed) would actually support and pose for a photo with Stacie Laughton when he was running for a seat in the New Hampshire state house.

"For the uninitiated, Laughton has the distinction of being the first transgender person elected to a state legislature. More importantly, he was charged in connection with the sexual exploitation of children, specifically by receiving and talking about explicit photos of children possibly as young as 3 years old. Laughton allegedly obtained the photos in text messages from his then-partner, Lindsay Groves, who authorities say took nude photos of the young minors at a daycare center.

"It’s not like there weren’t signs of trouble. Appearance isn’t everything, but it is something — and Laughton’s, with his long straggly hair pulled back in a tight knot, his highly receded hairline, and questionable dental hygiene, is unnerving, to say the least. Plenty of unfortunately-looking people are harmless. But Laughton is both that and suffers from a psychological impairment (celebrated as it may be by the American left)." . . .

How to Find an Evangelical College That Isn’t Woke -

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

With trendy leftism flourishing at numerous Protestant colleges, parents and students need concrete suggestions for discerning those true to the faith from those subscribing to Woke U.

"It is no secret that American colleges and universities are increasingly becoming Orwellian dystopias. Those who dissent from the prevailing orthodoxies often survive by keeping their mouths shut and their heads down. Concerns about the transformation of much of higher education into grossly overpriced hotbeds of leftist indoctrination are not new, even as we have shifted from talking about “political correctness” to the now ubiquitous “woke.” Yet, despite all the hand-wringing, things have mostly gotten worse.

"Many conservative evangelicals think they have a viable alternative: Protestant evangelical colleges and universities. Evangelical parents and students are willing to spend private tuition dollars at these institutions to escape the madness — often on top of the hefty investments they have made in private and in-home K–12 education. 

" 'Sadly, after spending all that money and foregoing other opportunities so as to obtain a “biblical” education, too often these evangelicals instead end up with the same old woke nonsense, which is barely hidden under a veneer of pious justification and Christian-sounding jargon. (READ MORE: Education Has Reached Peak Absurdity, But There Is Hope)

"Disturbing reports have emerged showing trendy leftism flourishing at numerous evangelical colleges. Several now hire faculty members who are legally married to members of the same sex. Many have also pulled out of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) rather than stick to orthodox Christian teaching on marriage and sex. Many remaining CCCU colleges are almost as badly compromised. For example, one college that officially claims to profess that sex is only morally acceptable within the bounds of marriage, defined as between one man and one woman, has given its faculty permission to dissent from this teaching." . . .

Adam Schiff Was Censured After All, And Garret Graves Voted In Favor

  Hayride

"A week ago a lot of folks on the Right were incensed when a resolution to censure the ridiculous liar Adam Schiff, who abused his former position as the chair of the House Intelligence Committee to perpetrate the Trump-Russia hoax and other calumnies against former president Donald Trump, fell short of passage because 20 Republicans wouldn’t vote for it.

"Garret Graves, the congressman representing Louisiana’s Sixth District, which includes most of Baton Rouge and areas around the capital city, was one of the 20. He explained his vote on the basis of procedural infirmities with the resolution as it was drafted but not on the substance of the censure.". . .

. . ."Give the Democrats one thing – they’ll stick together no matter how wrong they are, and there’s no limit to the childish and stupid behavior they’ll employ in attempting to get their way."

 If Biden was mentally sound with no dementia, he should be removed from this nation's government for his corruption and terrible character alone.

What if Biden’s dementia accelerates and becomes impossible to hide? - American Thinker   . . ."If Joe and Jill Biden and their extended family, all of whom seem to have been enriching themselves from his high offices, actually cared about the nation’s fate and his personal welfare, they would see him resign from office. But that obviously is not going to happen, not only out of their own greed and power proclivities, but because the puppeteers controlling Biden and the entire party want to keep Kamala off the ticket in 2024.  

"The national interest has never been the animating force behind any of these people. The damage they have done already is terrible to contemplate. But the potential for crisis inherent in Joe Biden’s seemingly accelerating decline into dementia could be far worse, even existential, if enemies decide to take advantage of an American government immobilized by an extended vacancy at the top of the executive branch, perpetuated by political squabbles in the legislative branch of government.  

"We are indeed cursed to live in interesting times, as the Chinese proverb has it."

Just when you thought Biden couldn't get more pathetic... – HotAir   . . ."I guess Biden wants to make sure that when he is making campaign strategy he is close to his bed.

"Is there any other explanation for his having chosen his residence in Delaware as the headquarters for his campaign for reelection? I mean, really? Joe provides one, if only in written form since he probably can’t get through the few words he was meant to say.

“My family’s values, my eternal optimism and my unwavering belief in the American middle class as our nation’s backbone comes from my home — from Delaware,” Biden said in a statement. “That’s why there is no better place for our reelection campaign to have its headquarters.”

"It is true that prior presidents have run with what is called a “front porch strategy,” in which the candidate allows his opponent to flail uselessly by running around the country while he stays home and drinks bourbon and smokes a pipe. James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, and  William McKinley all did so in 1880, 1888, and 1896. So it can be called a proven winner, although I am pretty sure that a campaign strategy that was last used 120 years ago is less likely to succeed today. Then again, Biden had a basement strategy in 2020, and he won that time, so perhaps I am wrong.

"But at least in 2020, Biden didn’t actually plan to sleep through his campaign, and having your headquarters equipped with a bed might not be the best signal of being hale and hearty."

Why Women's Soccer Teams are Overpaid

 Described by President Trump as the “woke leftist maniac,” Rapinoe is indeed a disgusting bully. She may have the most obnoxious mouth and unbecoming demeanor, but she didn’t even make the easy list of the top 25 women players expected to feature at the World Cup of Women’s Soccer.

American Thinker  "The Women’s World Cup (soccer) is upon us, and we’re in for weeks of mind-numbing commentary by browbeaten weenies who gloss over the ladies’ athletic inadequacies, but gush over their strategies.

"The U.S. team still fields Megan Rapinoe, a militant progressive who scratched and clawed in unseemly fashion to ensure Women‘s National Team soccer players get paid far more than they deserve. Under the U.S. Soccer Federation collective bargaining agreement, they are getting as much as the men, in fact. The problem is, women don’t play soccer; they play women’s soccer, which is a weakened version of the classic game.

"Recently, the big-mouthed, obnoxious Rapinoe welcomed transgender players into the women’s soccer team -- after she retires and doesn’t have to compete for a position. Her ludicrous support of biological men-cum-trans women showering with, and competing against, biological women exposes the vast inequality of pay between the relatively underpaid men’s and overpaid women’s teams.

"Rarely will you see a missile-like 40-yard cross-field pass precisely executed by the women, only a soft, floating ball that’s easily intercepted by a Trans player with average male speed.

"Rarely, in women’s soccer, will a player drill in a corner kick with vicious velocity, inviting the forward to nod in powerfully past a goalie with anatomical encumbrances that restrict her diving agility, lovely though they are. Rarely, in women’s soccer, will a player muster the foot speed (in the kicking motion) to launch a long-distance shot with such venom that it rattles the net." . . .
