Garter Snake Mitt speaks

 Don Surber (substack.com)

"Romney said at the time, “Donald Trump has shown an extraordinary ability to understand how our economy works. It means a great deal to me to have the endorsement of Mr. Trump.' ”

"Mitt Romney trashed Donald Trump again, which gave the media another opportunity to pretend Republicans are abandoning President Trump. Romney never supported President Trump.

"WMMS reported, “Republican Sen. Mitt Romney said he won’t support former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election due to ‘a matter of personal character.’

“ 'Romney, 77, was among several politicians within the party to condemn Trump during his presidency and said the presumptive GOP candidate's recent meeting with Republicans on Capitol Hill last week did nothing to change his perspective.”

"I chose to quote WMMS over other outlets because it is the Home of the Buzzard. The Buzzard refers to the bankers who were circling the city of Cleveland during its Great Default to see what parts of the city they could consume. Legend has it that a buzzard inspired a song by Kansas when the bird answered his kid’s question about what was for dinner: “Carrion, my wayward son.”

"No one should take Romney seriously.

"It has been a dozen years since he blew a presidential election that should have been a gimme. I did not realize it at the time but when it comes to character, few are as ignorant as he is." . . .

NYT Siccing an Astonishing 29 Fact Checkers on Trump-Biden Debate—but Make It Clear Who They're After – RedState

"The New York Times has assigned over 60 “journalists” to cover the Joe Biden-Donald Trump debate Thursday night, including an absurd 29 fact-checkers. In the opening paragraph of their article preening about their upcoming coverage, they made it very clear that they weren’t doing this to be fair-minded arbiters of facts—there’s one candidate on the stage who they really, really don’t like.

"Their snarly opening paragraph didn’t even mention Biden:

How do you cover a historic presidential debate that includes a candidate convicted of 34 felonies in what he has called, without evidence, a “rigged trial,” and that will air on TV absent an audience? With a few dozen reporters and fact-checkers. [Emphasis mine.]

" 'Without evidence?" There is in fact a plethora of evidence that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s manufactured business fraud case against Trump ran afoul of previous legal norms and was presided over by an obviously biased Judge Juan Merchan. Commentators on both sides of the political aisle were shocked at the perversion of justice, but the Times could care less—they got what they wanted, namely, the opening to write “convicted felon Donald Trump” over and over.

 "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

"Human nature has not changed since the early 17th century, when William Shakespeare put those iconic words into the mouth of Prince Hamlet's mother, Gertrude.

"In modern English, of course, they mean something like this: The more overwrought your denial of guilt, the more self-serving you appear and the more you raise suspicions about your truthfulness and motives.

"In this sense, Gertrude might help us understand CNN's response to criticism of both Kasie Hunt, host of "CNN This Morning," and Jake Tapper, the longtime establishment shill scheduled to serve as one of two moderators at Thursday's first presidential debate in Atlanta, hosted by CNN.

"The Shakespearean drama began Monday, when Karoline Leavitt, press secretary for former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, appeared on "This Morning."

"When Leavitt pointed to Tapper's lengthy history of anti-Trump behavior, Hunt feigned outrage and then ended the interview by cutting off Leavitt's microphone." . . .

Biden’s Goldilocks/Ponce de Leon cocktail - American Thinker   

You can bet the ranch that his doctors are frantically attempting to find the magic bullet -- the precise dosages of medications that will jack him up to normal or near-normal degrees of consciousness without appearing overly wired, provide him with a competitive edginess without appearing overly combative or angry, and give him the ability to move his limbs and lips without appearing frenetic. A possible, desirable side effect would be an inhibition to embellishment and outright mendacity.

Those same doctors believed they had it nailed for the State of the Union address." . . .

"But mainly I would let him talk uninterrupted because, as he starts to settle in, he will start lying. He can’t help it. He is a congenital liar, a pathological liar. It is in his lifeblood. Therefore, that is where I would be especially focused: to catch him in his lies. Don’t let them slip by.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman and the Toxic Rot of the Squad

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

"The congressman can't seem to shake his hideous antisemitism, and the rancid ‘Democratic Socialists of America’ don't mind."

"Far-left U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman, both of New York, were ridiculed after behaving like angry hip-hop artists on a Democratic rally stage in the Bronx on Saturday.

"Their cringe-worthy antics at St. Mary’s Park in Mott Haven were "a last-minute attempt" to drum up support for Bowman and his "flailing re-election bid" ahead of Tuesday’s primary election, the New York Post reported, adding that Bowman is behind moderate Democratic challenger George Latimer by double digits.

"Bowman also dubbed himself 'the hip-hop congressman' in a searing rant before hollering, 'We are gonna show the f***ing AIPAC' — i.e., the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — 'the power of the motherf***ing south Bronx!'. . .

"While the crowd at the rally — numbering around 300, the Post said — loved Bowman's cursing and ranting, not everyone was a fan.

"U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) posted on X that "the level of profanity here is so shocking as to be unbecoming of a Member of Congress. There is nothing in Jamaal Bowman’s unhinged tirade that remotely resembles the decency of the people I know and represent in the South Bronx."

"As it turns out, Torres wasn't alone; both Bowman and Ocasio-Cortez turned off many:

• "Why is [AOC] screaming like a banshee? Is this a cult? Creepy," one observer asked." . . .

Another One Bites the Dust: Adam Carolla Blasts Newsom As 'Slippery Eel of Nothingness' As He Exits CA

 Levon Satamian – RedState  

"As Adam Carolla embarks on a new chapter outside of California, his story poignantly reminds us of the profound impact that governance and policy can have on people's lives and choices. Whether California will heed these voices and enact meaningful reforms remains to be seen."

 "Adam Carolla announced on Wednesday that he is officially joining the California exodus during his appearance on "The Sage Steele Show."

"Carolla grew up in Los Angeles and built his career in the city, but he says it is "time to move." 

I have twins, and they're in their senior year of high school, and I couldn't- I didn't want to pick up and, you know, tear up their roots, you know? So people always go, ‘When are you leaving?’ And I go, I will be attending their high school graduation in a U-Haul.  

That's a sad testimonial about California and sort of recent downturn in L.A. as well, because growing up out here, nobody left. You'd be a fool to leave, you know. And the notion of moving out of L.A. and going to like one of the Carolinas or Nashville … You watch the beginning of ‘The Beverly Hillbillies,’ they lived over here and then they came to where we are, and I was already there. Moving to a place like Wyoming or something would have been unfathomable, unheard of.

"As a California resident, Carolla is right. It used to be unheard of for someone to willingly move out of California. But due to crime, drugs on the street, homelessness, public schools deteriorating, and lunatic District Attorneys, there is an exodus out of big cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Oakland. 

"Carolla is not sure which state he wants to move to yet but mentioned Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. 

"He continued, saying that the problems in the state are "self-imposed" and "super avoidable." . . .

Time To Admit It: Democrats Are The Party of Sexual Perverts

"In Kentucky, a Democratic senator opposed a bill banning child sex toys and referred to pedophiles as “minor-attracted persons.” Leftists always use euphemisms to promote repugnant ideas. And, yes, people do fall for that trick.

"In Kansas City, Missouri, the Democratic mayor along with other Democratic officials had a “National Reading Day.” Not books like “Tom Sawyer” or “Treasure Island.” No. The books read were written with the purpose of brainwashing children to “explore their gender identity” (more euphemisms) and to encourage them to become transgender.

"New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez praised a drag queen wandering around in the halls of Congress.

"Staff members of a Democratic senator from Delaware were found having anal sex in the Judiciary Committee hearing room.

"And speaking of Democrats from Delaware, we have pseudo-President Joe Biden. His daughter’s diary revealed that they used to shower together. That’s one way to bond. His crackhead son recorded himself having sex and drugs with multiple prostitutes. Biden is also outraged – yes, outraged! – that pornographic books are being removed from elementary school libraries.

AOC draws Biden-sized crowd -

  Don Surber (substack.com)

"The Squad is under fire from both the anti-Semitic wing of communism and its Jewish wing. Neither side wants her because she either hates Israel or doesn’t hate Israel enough."

"If AOC drew an attendee for every headline the media posted about her rally in New York, she would have had more people than the ones who showed up for her . . . and Bernie Sanders.

"It was a rally for Fire Alarm-Pulling Jamaal Bowman who likely will lose today’s Democrat primary for his congressional seat.

"Michael Elgort tweeted a picture to his 11,000 followers and said, “From this angle performance of AOC on the stage in front of 50 people half of whom are journalists is even funnier.”

"The picture was taken at the height of AOC’s performance. Maybe that was why she was hopping and bopping like the Crocodile Rock. Or maybe she skipped her meds at breakfast. Another video showed hundreds flanking the stage on the other sides.

"AOC claimed 1,200 people attended — in a city of 8 million people. The barmaid’s popularity is past peak. Ask Madonna how that works.

"Media coverage largely ignored how small her crowd was.

"Politico said, “AOC, Sanders and other progressives rally for Bowman." . . .

Biden May Be About to Abandon Israel

One: Biden is a Democrat guided by Obama who let ISIS run wild in the Middle East. Two: he is Joe Biden, who hates Donald Trump much more than he does those who murdered and raped America's faithful allies, Israel. TD

Biden May Be About to Abandon Israel – PJ Media 

"Does anyone believe this excuse? For months now, Biden has been pandering to the antisemitic wing of his party as he tries to repair the damage that his initial public support of Israel did to his campaign. He has also been pandering to Iran." . . . .  

"I’ve said before that Joe Biden has never been much of a friend to Israel, even in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas attack on October 7. His initial public support hurt him politically with the antisemitic wing of his party, and he has gradually shifted his position ever since. The Biden administration has taken increasingly tougher stances on Israel, including sending aid to the terrorist organization Hamas and withholding weapons from Israel, our ally.

"A new war between Israel and Hezbollah, another Iran-backed terrorist organization, now looms, and the signal Israel is getting from the United States is: you're on your own.

"On Monday, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. C.Q. Brown, warned Israel that if a war with Hezbollah erupts, it can't can't count on the United States for assistance.

"According to the Daily Caller, the Biden administration is increasingly worried about escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah breaking out into a full-scale war. Brown highlighted the risk to U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East if such a war were to erupt.

“Think about the second order of effect of any type of operation into Lebanon (where Hezbollah is located), and how that might play out and how it impacts not just the region, but how it impacts our forces in regions as well,” Brown told reporters. . . .

CNN Defends Debate Hosts from Critics: 'Respected Veteran Journalists' (breitbart.com)   "CNN defended its debate co-hosts from critics on Monday after they came under fire for being biased against former President Donald Trump.

The statement came after the Trump campaign ripped CNN for abruptly ending its interview with Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt. CNN’s Kasie Hunt, a former MSNBC host, suddenly ended the interview when Leavitt highlighted CNN’s Jake Tapper’s long history of criticizing Trump.

Tapper is co-hosting Thursday’s first presidential debate with Dana Bash. Both are critics of Trump.

They suggested Trump is a liar, was tougher on Democrats than Putin, pushed Russia propaganda, used rhetoric similar to Adolf Hitler, pushed falsehoods “fast and furious,” “tried to kill democracy once. He’ll do it again,” is an antisemite, could cause a civil war, and blamed Trump’s rhetoric for a New Zealand shooting." . . .

"The bias seems to run in the family, and that is OK, but the issue is they claim to be nonpartisan and unbiased, yet they are the exact opposite. 

"Going back to the credibility of Kasie Hunt and her network, CNN hasn't been as critical of President Biden but claims to be in the middle of the political spectrum. They are not as biased as MSNBC, but they definitely are not in the middle, and they prefer Biden over Trump. 

"Yes, they bring guests who are Democrats and Republicans; however, the overwhelming majority of anchors on the network want to make Trump look as bad as possible and Biden look golden. 

"When it comes to conservative media, they don't hide their bias. The liberal media should learn to do the same and stop pretending to be nonpartisan." . . .
