It's the goofy left, stupid

  Silvio Canto, Jr. - American Thinker   "What about this?  The man who gave us "it's the economy, stupid" is now back with another gem. This is James Carville with Bill Maher:

Carville said he found them "annoying and silly" after Maher mocked the notion of "pregnant men."

"Most people don't even know what they're talking about," Carville said. "The identity left are silly. They're not evil, they're just goofy."

The Democratic strategist argued that White leftists had hijacked the term
"woke" and driven voters away from the party. 

"What happened is, overeducated, coastal White people, got ahold of the word and [like] they do with everything else, they completely f---ed it up and p----- everybody in the country off," he said bluntly. "If we could just get the humanities faculty at Amherst [College] to shut the f--- up, we'd be a lot better off."

While only 10% of the party actually identified as progressive, he argued, they dragged the entire party down.     

"The number of MAGA people is 65%. We pay a greater price for 10% of our party, than they pay for 65% of their party," Carville complained.

After Maher brought up how Trump was drawing more support from minorities, Carville said this was because there was an attitude of elitism in the Democratic Party that turned off voters.

"There is a certain coastal arrogance in this country, and people feel it," he said. "You got all these preachy people telling you what you should do."

 "Overeducated coastal white people who need to shut the (expletive deleted) up? Preachy people telling you what you should do? " . . .

Another Trump indictment and what a coincidence, just as some damning news about Joe Biden's corruption rolls out

"The sleaze is amazing. We'll be lucky if the USA even survives at all."

Trump puts Joe Biden on NOTICE:

  Monica Showalter- American Thinker  "Another judicial book thrown at President Trump, and sure enough, it coincided with some very bad news about Joe Biden's corruption.

"Start with how news flashed about a New York judge throwing out this ruling to Get Trump at 4:43 p.m. Eastern yesterday:

NEW YORK (AP) — A judge ruled Tuesday that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House, and he ordered some of the former president’s companies removed from his control and dissolved.


Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling in a civil lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, found that Trump and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing loans.

Engoron ordered that some of Trump’s business licenses be rescinded as punishment, making it difficult or impossible for them to do business in New York, and said he would continue to have an independent monitor oversee Trump Organization operations.

"Now let's look at the kind of news that came just before it, at 2:08 p.m. Eastern:"


 

Electric Car EXPLODES into Flames on Driveway, Sets Fire to Family Home – WATCH

 Daily Fetch

"An electric car exploded into a massive fire ball while sitting on the driveway of a family home, which also caught fire, according to reports.

"Emergency fire services were called to a home in Bromborough, Wirral, UK, at around 10 pm after receiving reports that a car was on fire.

"The blaze from the electric car was so big the family’s home also caught fire.

"According to a report from The Liverpool Echo, the fire blackened the two-story family home.

"A man told the outlet that after speaking to the owners of the electric car, they said they believed the blaze was caused by a “malfunctioning electric car battery.”

“ 'I was in bed and heard this popping noise. It sounded like fireworks going off,” the man said.

“ 'I went outside with my mum, and there were bright lights with a car up in flames over the road,” he continued.

“ 'The owner was in the house when it happened but got out,” the man said.

“ 'She told me this morning that the car was only a month old with a thousand miles on the clock and the car battery malfunctioned,” he noted." . . .



'Erasing History': Native American Group Demands Commanders Change Name To Redskins -

 

Analyzing America

"The rise of cancel culture and political correctness has resulted in the country removing many historic landmarks and renaming professional sports teams.

After 106 years, the Cleveland Indians renamed themselves the Cleveland Guardians in 2022. Similarly, after 87 years, the Washington Redskins were named “the Washington Football Team” and then later “the Washington Commanders” in 2020.

However, a petition is gaining momentum by the Native American Guardian Association (NAGA) to demand the organization revert back to its original name of “Redskins.” More than 80,000 people have signed the petition. (Poll: Is the Country Going In The Right Direction Under Biden? VOTE)" . . .

“Americans see they are losing their rights because of a vicious cancel culture that shows little care for their concerns or civil liberties; It is time to support leaders, brands and organizations who will stand with EVERY AMERICAN, rather than fighting against them.

Gaslighting demonstrated in real life by KJP

 


What Does the White House Call the Border Situation? KJP Won’t Answer That Question. – PJ Media   . . ."Make no mistake about it: the Biden administration knows what it’s doing. The more immigrants who come in, the harder it is to keep track of them, and as soon as Democrats are in a position to pass amnesty, they will, and then voila! we have thousands, if not millions, of new Democrat voters ready to keep them in power. And there’s a reason why the Biden administration wants them to stay in Texas or be sent to red states. Think about it.

That’s why the White House will continue to insist that there is no crisis. It can’t be a crisis if it’s all part of the plan… not that the White House wants to admit what the real plan is, hence, the reason why, when Jean-Pierre was questioned by Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy about what the White House calls the current situation at the border, she refused to answer.

“What do you call it here at the White House when 10,000 people illegally cross the border in a single day?”. . .

Never accept a cheap substitute: Trudeau called truckers "Nazis," applauds the real thing –

And the unit he was attached to – 14th “Galicia” division – were some particularly nasty hombres. I don’t think “war criminals” would be too harsh. Not at all like Canadian truckers, as much as Trudeau would like to paint them so.

  HotAir   There seem to be Nazis everywhere today. Well, Nazis and RUSSIANS.

. . ."…especially after a person, as Prime Minister of Canada, has been caught on camera, before God and everyone, publicly celebrating a 98 year old…Waffen SS member.

"Well, one Ukrainian freedom fighter is another man’s Nazi, right?

"Not…not exactly. Not like truckers in the anti-COVID convoys Trudeau called “Nazis”

…"while a liberal Canadian MP flat out said “honk honk” was code for “Heil Hitler” among the trucking kind of “Nazis.”

During a heated exchange in the House of Commons Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Conservative MPs sympathetic to the trucker convoy of standing with “people who wave swastikas.”

 

"Formed in 1943, SS Galichina was comprised of Ukrainians from the Galicia region in the western part of the country. It was armed and trained by Hitler's Nazis and commanded by German officers. The next year, the division received a visit from SS head Heinrich Himmler, who had high praise for the unit's effectiveness at slaughtering Poles.

"The SS Galichina subunits were responsible for the Huta Pieniacka massacre, in which they burned 500 to 1,000 Polish villagers alive." 

14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician) - Wikipedia    . . ."The Galician Division was renamed to 1st Division of the Ukrainian National Army. However, there is no proof to demonstrate that the renaming was done formally and the German Army's High command continued to list it as the Ukrainian 14th SS Grenadier Division in its order of battle.[33][34] The division surrendered to British and US forces by 10 May 1945.[28]. . .

. . ."This, together with the intervention of the Vatican prevented its members from being deported to the USSR. Bishop Buchko of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church had appealed to Pope Pius XII to intervene on behalf of the division, whom he described as "good Catholics and fervent anti-Communists". Due to Vatican intervention, the British authorities changed the status of the division members from POW to surrendered enemy personnel.[35] 176 soldiers of the division, mainly prewar Polish Army officers followed their commander in joining Anders's Polish army.[36][37]

"Former soldiers of SS "Galizien" were allowed to emigrate to Canada[38] and the United Kingdom in 1947.[39] The names of about 8,000 men from the division who were admitted to the UK have been stored in the so-called "Rimini List". Despite several requests of various lobby groups, the details of the list have never been publicly released; however, the list is available on line and the original list is available for public inspection at the Schevchenko Archive in Linden Gardens, London. In 2003 the anti-terrorist branch of Scotland Yard launched an investigation into people from the list by cross-referencing NHS patient, social security and pensions records; however, the order to release confidential medical records was met with outcry from civil liberties groups.[40]" . . .

Poland’s not going to be quiet, either. They’re demanding an apology from Canada for inviting a Nazi – no less a member of that Pole massacring unit – to Parliament.


10 Reasons Not To Own An EV

  Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

EVs are fire hazards. All automobiles catch fire, but EVs burn hotter, longer, and take far more water to extinguish than a conventional car that’s burning. Firefighters use about 500 gallons of water to put out regular car fires. EV fires can require from 6,000 gallons to 20,000 gallons to get the job done. . .


"From California to New York to Washington, Democrats are using the coercive force of government to herd Americans into electric vehicles. Here are 10 reasons why we should resist both this egregious abuse of power as well as the social pressure that demands we all go electric:

The mandates are an egregious abuse of power. Where do government officials, both elected and unelected, derive the authority to tell Americans what vehicles they cannot own and what vehicles they must own? There is none. Yes, there are laws intended to keep dangerous cars and trucks off the streets for safety reasons. But no automobile is a threat just because it burns gasoline or diesel. Dare we say that those who buy an EV are complicit in securing for the state a power it was never intended to have?

The mandates are an egregious abuse of power Part ll. The federal government oversteps its constitutional limits when it tells manufacturers that two-thirds of the vehicles they build must be electrified.

EVs are not zero-emission vehicles. As one of our contributors wrote in a well-researched, heavily sourced piece, life-cycle assessments show that the “manufacturing, charging, operating, and disposing of electric vehicles produces more of every major category of pollutants than conventional cars.” 

The EV manufacturing chain is an environmental malignancy. That same writer, James D. Agresti, president of Just Facts, has also noted “the ‘environmental implications’ of mining lithium to make batteries for electric cars ‘would directly counter the intent’ of ‘incentivizing electric vehicle adoption.’” He further makes the case by citing a Brookings Institution study, which “found that ‘continued reliance on China’ will ‘increase the risk that sourcing of critical minerals will cause or contribute to serious social or environmental harms.'” . . .

OUTRAGEOUS! Brothers Who Killed Ethan Liming, Stomped on His Chest, Broke His Neck and Took His Car Acquitted of Involuntary Manslaughter Charges

  The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila

It was later reported that the attackers broke Liming’s neck and Ethan Liming had a shoe print on his chest when he died. The killers stomped on him so hard they left a shoeprint on his chest

"This is outrageous!

The U.S. Marshals Service last year arrested three men accused of fatally beating 17-year-old high school student Ethan Liming to death outside the school founded by LeBron James in June.

"The three men beat Liming to death and later bragged about it to friends.

"According to reports, Ethan Liming, whose father is a pastor, tried to calm the situation in the parking lot when he got jumped and hit in the head from behind.  The suspects broke his neck.

"We learned from the police report that the suspects took Liming’s car and prevented his friends from driving him to the hospital.

"Liming was later pronounced dead in the parking lot.   ."

Examining Donald Trump and the Evangelical vote -

 Ned Cosby; American Thinker   . . ."So now we have the odd spectacle of worldly Donald Trump again courting evangelicals for the chance to become President again.

"There are evangelical leaders who assure us that Trump has converted and is now a secret believer. Secret believer? Isn’t that an oxymoron? TikTok, a CCP app, has many postings assuring us that Trump is a follower of Jesus. In his most recent interview of former President Trump, I was hoping that Tucker Carlson would ask Trump about his faith. It did not come up.

"Trump knows that he cannot win in 2024 without evangelicals. In a manner that looks a bit like bullying, he demands that we support him, no questions asked.

"If he wants evangelical support this time, we should not be timid in asking him questions about who he is today compared with his libertine past.

"The American family needs a champion in 2024. Our nation needs to do all it can to foster and encourage two-parent families. The help that we give the poor must not discourage two-parent families and encourage unwed motherhood. With Trump’s marital history and record of infidelity, it is hard to see how he can make America great again without renouncing his hedonistic past. Then again, St. Paul persecuted Christians before becoming one of its greatest evangelists.

"I was disappointed to see Tucker miss the opportunity to ask President Trump about these matters. The good news is that we still have time to find out what is in Donald’s heart if anyone dares ask the questions."

Ned Cosby, a regular contributor to American Thinker, is a former pastor, veteran Coast Guard officer, and a retired career public high school teacher. His newest novel OUTCRY is a love story exposing the refusal of Christian leaders to report and discipline clergy who sexually abuse our young people. This work of fiction addresses crimes that are all too real. Cosby has also written RECOLLECTIONS FROM MY FATHER’S HOUSE, tracing his own odyssey from 1954 to the present.

Gotta stoke that hatred for Trump

 


Trump lawyers: Impeachment based on hatred, not facts | AP News  . . ."The Democrats also are demanding that he be barred from holding future federal office.

Trump’s lawyers say that goal only underscores the “hatred” Democrats feel for Trump. Throughout the trial, they showed clips from Democrats questioning the legitimacy of his presidency and suggesting as early as 2017 that he should be impeached.

“Hatred is at the heart of the house managers’ fruitless attempts to blame Donald Trump for the criminal acts of the rioters — based on double hearsay statements of fringe right-wing groups, based on no real evidence other than rank speculation,” van der Veen said.

"Trump’s lawyers noted that in the same Jan. 6 speech he encouraged the crowd to behave “peacefully,” and they contend that his remarks — and his general distrust of the election results — are all protected under the First Amendment. Democrats strenuously resist that assertion, saying his words weren’t political speech but rather amounted to direct incitement of violence."

Don’t Bother Me About Russell Brand Until You Start Believing Tara Reade -

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

                     Sorry, media machine. Your credibility is long gone.

"Say the people who took Christine Blasey Ford and E. Jean Carroll — neither of whom could

supply key details about their supposed rapes at the hands of Brett Kavanaugh and Donald Trump, respectively — as though their words were gospel. Well, sorry, guys. Your credibility is long gone. And everyone who paid attention to Brand could see this coming. The gag officially has whiskers on it. So I’ll just have to fall back on something nobody seems to hold to anymore. Russell Brand is presumed innocent until proven guilty.". . .

How long can a country this decadent survive?

 For example, we were told that allowing same-sex marriage wouldn’t destroy marriage. What a homophobic idea! But the reality is that same-sex marriage may well redefine marriage.   Andrea Widburg

Andrea Widburg - American Thinker   . . . "As I said, those are the less obscene sights. If you want to understand what’s happening on the streets of one of America’s major cities, go here or here, but hide it from the children and bring a barf bag for yourself. I have no words for the level of perversion on public display.

"Once, this was a fringe activity. Then it moved to the streets. Now, it’s in the military. As Libs of TikTok regularly documents, it’s moving into the classrooms. And last night, I watched the new Disney/Pixar movie, Elemental, which I’ll write about, too. Of note here is that Disney/Pixar made sure to include a lesbian couple in the movie. Normalize, normalize, normalize…

"But as the Up Your Alley fair and the survey of same-sex couples regarding marriage show, it’s not normal—at least, it’s not normal as that’s been understood in the West for a couple of thousand years. And when the fringe moves to the center, the center most surely cannot hold."

 John Fetterman and the United Slobs of America – Orange County Register   . . ."I understand this is not the most pressing issue facing the nation. Still, allowing United States Senators to dress like they’re making a Walmart beer run.

"The always well-dressed comedic legend, Steve Martin, wrote in his memoir, “Born Standing Up,” “Always dress better than them,” “them” being the audience. It’s a sign of respect; that the performer appreciates his or her fans. If our current crop of United States Senators can’t act the part, and they can’t, the very least they can do is dress the part.

"Corporate America has relaxed workplace dress requirements to attract workers in a tight hiring market. But we are not suffering from a shortage of people who want to be a United States senator.

"At the risk of sounding like a terminal pearl-clutcher, this sop to sloppiness will only further erode civility and professionalism in Congress, which is already on life support. How long before we see a T-shirt emblazoned with slogans for “Black Lives Matter”, “Let’s go Brandon!” or “1-800-Kars4Kids?” We might as well hand out Republican and Democrat hockey jerseys and wait for them to pull them over each other’s heads when the fists start flying.

"Manners and formulaic civility in the Senate may seem old fashioned, yet the traditions and protocols of respect allow the government to function. If we allow legislators to dress for a pie fight, we will get a pie fight. The Senate dress code is not for the senators, it’s for us." . . .
