Look at San Francisco to understand what the leftist future holds for America; GOOOOOONNNE!

  Andrea Widburg - American Thinker

"Whether you like leftism or not (I don’t), one of the most admirable things about leftists is that they are long-term planners. Conservatives dream of quick fixes, but leftists put systems in place and then patiently wait for them to come to fruition. San Francisco perfectly illustrates how this works...and it goes back to the 1960s.

"At the end of June, a San Francisco convenience store was robbed and vandalized. This happened in a city that no longer polices minor crimes (allowing it to boast that its crime statistics have improved), thereby paving the way for major crimes.

"The city, rather than vowing to do better to protect its law-abiding taxpayer citizens, served the storeowner with a notice warning him that he’d better fix the damage the city’s policies caused...or else. And do note that this is a minority-owned business in what I happen to know is (or at least was) a working-class neighborhood."

. . ."The leftists’ horrific policies have even managed to destroy one of America’s most popular and profitable tourist attractions: Fisherman’s Wharf."

"... in the name of political correctness, American socialist cities have a two-tiered system: law-abiding citizens are on the receiving end of heavy-handed government control, while politically correct protected victim classes are removed from any controls whatsoever. The result is the worst of all possible worlds, with law abiding citizens beaten down both by their own government and by those whom the government allows to roam free.  San Francisco provides a perfect example of this Western socialist dynamic." bookwormroom.com

The MSM attacks Trump's lies; let them cover Biden's as well

 Fact check: Biden's horrific debate performance made worse by multiple lies and gaffes (nypost.com)  "Critics of former President Donald Trump are always quick to challenge the veracity of the Republican’s statements but President Biden was guilty of multiple whoppers during Thursday night’s presidential debate — when he was coherent.

"Here were the commander in chief’s biggest fibs and gaffes:" . . .

Truth: At least 16 troops have died in overseas attacks over his tenure, including, infamously, the 13 soldiers killed in an ISIS-K attack during the botched August 2021 US evacuation from Afghanistan.

Biden claimed that no American troops have died during his administration.

Trump’s unemployment rate

What Biden said: “[The] unemployment rate rose to 15% [under Trump]; it was terrible.”

Fact: The unemployment rate was 6.4% when Trump left the White House in 2021. Unemployment rose from 4.4% in March 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic to 14.8% in April 2020. The unprecedented global outbreak wreaked economic havoc worldwide.

Border crossings

What Biden said: “I’ve changed in a way that now you’re in a situation where there are 40% fewer people coming across the border illegally. That’s better than when [Trump] left office.”

Truth: He’s confusing data. The daily average of migrant apprehensions dropped more than 40% — to nearly 2,400 — since Biden issued an executive action that went into effect a month ago prohibiting asylum at the southern border.

Biden’s Dénouement Hurts U.S. Standing; ("Dénouement": "the final outcome of the main dramatic complication in a literary work")

  James E. Fanell and Bradley A. Thayer › American Greatness

"The world witnessed the coverup of a president that is in sharp decline and our enemies are not going to wait for a new president to be selected before continuing the pursuit of their strategic goals."  

"In an odious, dangerous, and supremely selfish manner, the Biden administration has placed its political survival before the interests of the United States."

 "U.S. domestic politics is roiled over President Biden’s dénouement. The American people wonder whether Biden will be president in the weeks to come. Collectively, Americans are straining their eyes as they attempt to read the color of the smoke coming from the chimneys of the DNC, the White House, and Obama’s mansion in Kalorama. Will Biden step down or ride it out to the election? Will the 25th Amendment be invoked or will Biden stubbornly remain in office until January sees President Trump return to office or another Democrat occupy the Oval Office? Certainly, it deserves to be explored why Biden’s condition was obvious for so long but not acknowledged and addressed. As does the curious timing of a presidential debate in June to make the issue front and center and thus provide the Democrats time to find a replacement.

"However interesting and important these issues are, you do not get to call a “time out” in international politics. While the Democrats decide whether Biden will remain in office and serve as their candidate, America’s enemies are hard at work. The dictator of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Xi Jinping, was meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Astana, Kazakhstan for the annual Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) gathering. That meeting was notable for two reasons. First, the SCO is expanding. Belarus joined the SCO to become the tenth member along with Iran, Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, the PRC, Russia, India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Second, the SCO now exists as a visible counterweight to U.S. influence in global politics. Putin made the meeting in Astana on the back of his visits to North Korea and Vietnam. No matter the success of these efforts, it demonstrates that Putin is chopping wood while Biden sleeps.

"In that effort, he is not alone. Xi is putting the screws to U.S. allies. Putin’s travels around Asia divert attention from the PRC’s increasing aggression against the Philippines, a U.S. Treaty ally. The PRC’s coercive actions against Manila at Second Thomas Shoal are notable because of Beijing’s escalation. Its coast guard and navy are directly interfering with the resupply of the Sierra Madre, the vessel permanently beached on the shoal to protect Manila’s sovereignty. Beijing is executing a maritime sovereignty campaign to seize Filipino territory through an orchestrated process of incremental coercive steps that are increasingly violent and could very well lead to an armed conflict. It remains unclear whether the PRC will succeed, but if it does, it will be because the Biden administration watched and did nothing to aid the brave Filipino military." . . .

This is for all pro-Hamas people out there; those who enjoyed ripping down posters of their Jewish hostages

"Did Hamas really behead babies, or is it false because I’m seeing a lot of different information & I am not sure?"
"They did. They also tied children together with wire and set fire to them in batches. They gang raped at least one prepubescent girl in front of her parents."


"Are Muslims horrified and disgusted with Hamas shooting and beheading little babies?"

"As a non muslim here is what I have noticed -

"After the Oct 7th massacre, across islamic countries, people got together in city squares and celebrated it as if hamas had done something great and they want to be part of that greatness. Obviously those large numbers of people were clearly jubilant not horrified at the massacre.

"The second image that is stuck in my mind is of the dead lady at the back of a pickup with two fat guys with legs across her dead body while boys spitting on the body as they make the rounds of gaza. Obviously those boys have been indoctrinated by their families. If people of gaza were horrified they would have stopped the show and handled the dead body with some respect.

"I saw or rather listened to a video of a hamas attacker calling up home after killing 10 israelis. What stuck me was that the parents were so happy about his achievement. His parents were wishing to be there with him to see his massacre of innocent people. I am going to ignore this attacker who might be in early 20s full of adrenaline. What stuck me was the attitude of his parents who were thrilled as if their son has cracked some ivy league college exam.

"There has to be something that causes all these people to uniformly celebrate/support massacre of innocent civilians."


Great numbers of kaffiyeh-wearing stylish, ignorant young people on campuses I hold equally to blame as well. TD


"Because, as Douglas Murray said in more than one instance, they carried out the massacre with glee."

"They did not come to carry out a task in the sense of how the Nazis shot women and children in the back of their heads and dump them into ditches.

"They came to simply have fun.

"And for them, decapitating Jews, raping women while chopping off their breasts and baking babies was fun…"

And meanwhile, instructors from Iran held classes to teach Americans to say "Death to America', and "Death to Israel" in Farsi. Tunnel Wall: Activists Chant 'Death To America And Israel' In Farsi At Chicago Left-Wing Meet. TD

Thoughts on Joe Biden challenge us all (UPDATED, Sun 7/7)

"And so, in the coming days, Joe Biden will likely be dragged kicking and screaming as the Democrat party inflicts a political late-term abortion on the staunch advocate for the right to choose." J DeA

The Late-Term Abortion of Joe Biden - Jeannie DeAngelis  . . . "That may well be happening to the presiding presidential champion of “reproductive” rights, Joe Biden — not an actual abortion per se, but an abortion of sorts, because, late in the 2024 election season, a bloody termination may take place.

"Whether Joe realizes it or not, he could be in the process of being sacked by the very Democrats who pretended he was their golden boy when he was pushed to the fore in 2020.  At first, Biden was embraced by his party with great joy.  Four years later, the plan was probably to keep the reincarnation of Mad King George III hidden in his bedroom for another term.  Now, after Biden’s weaknesses were exposed at the June 7 debate, his handlers find themselves scrambling to revise the bedroom plan, and a late-term political abortion looks attractive." . . .

ABC interview proves that Joe Biden is in complete senile denial (nypost.com)

UPDATE, 7/7:  Does a viral video show Biden revealing his inner racist? No, but the bad visual will stick. - Andrea Widberg; . . ."The truth is that Biden had already greeted that same young woman earlier, so this wasn’t the dis it seems. . .  

What matters, though, is that the image of Biden bypassing a young black woman, followed by her manifest disappointment, will stick because it aligns with Biden’s life trajectory. He’s an old white guy from Scranton who lives in a world of negative racial stereotypes and uses blacks as political props.

WATCH: Joe Biden Disses Young Black Woman at Rally and You Can’t Help But Feel Bad For Her – PJ Media   "Another Biden moment has gone viral, and it's not a senior moment. It was actually a moment some would argue was racist.

"Keep in mind, Joe Biden has spent his entire presidency pandering to minorities. Nary a day goes by where he doesn't pat himself on the back for having "the most diverse administration" in history, for picking a black woman as his running mate, and for nominating a black woman to the Supreme Court. 

"That's what he does for the cameras, anyway. He wants to create a presidential legacy of being a champion of diversity.

"Yet, none of that makes up for his history of racism. As we've documented here at PJ Media, Biden has made racist comments for years. I suspect many in the Democratic Party know he's racist. Heck, the biggest moment of Kamala Harris's short-lived presidential campaign was accusing Joe Biden of being racist for his past opposition to busing and his willingness to work with Democrat segregationists. 

And, many are saying that ol' racist Joe reared his ugly head again during a campaign rally in Wisconsin after he blatantly snubbed a black girl who appeared really excited to see him in order to take selfies with a couple of old white women.

"Video of the incident has gone viral, and it will be impossible not to feel sorry for the poor girl as her face transitions from one of pure joy to one of utter sadness." . . .

WUT? Woke AWFL Tells White People They Are Not Allowed to Tan Unless They Are a 'BLM Ally'

 Twitchy   "For comic book nerds such as this writer, one fun pastime we have is a robust discussion of who are the worst villains. We often refer to these villains as the 'Rogues Gallery.' Batman, for instance, has The Joker, The Riddler, Ra's al Ghul, Bane, Poison Ivy, The Penguin, and many more. Spider-Man's rogues gallery includes Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Doctor Octopus, Scorpion, Rhino, Venom, and Vulture, to name a few. 

"There's never a resolution to the question of who is the worst, but it's always a fun discussion. 

"Just like with comic books, in the rogue's gallery of truly evil villains in real life, it can be difficult to determine who is the worst. You've got terrorists such as Hamas, dictators like Kim Jong Un, pedophiles and groomers, and actual James Bond characters like Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates. 

"But perhaps some of the worst real-life villains are the AWFLs (Affluent White Feminist Liberals). These ladies used to be known as 'Karens,' but AWFL is a much more accurate description. Occasionally, people will add the word 'Urban' so that the acronym is spelled properly, 'AWFUL' (except the secret lairs of these women always seem to be located in suburbia). 

"Either way, their entire existence seems to be dedicated to making the entire rest of the world as miserable as they are. 

"Take, for example, this wonderful woman, who has now declared that tanning -- yes, tanning -- is now outlawed for anyone who is not a leftist Marxist.

I'll bet she wears a Kaffiyeh at pro-Hamas rallies and rips down posters of kidnapped Jews. TD

A clear message needs to be sent: You can’t hold US citizens hostage no matter what

 Douglas Murray

. . ."[Trump] should explain that when he is back in charge, he expects all these hostages to be releasedAll of them. And that they better be in the best possible condition. Otherwise Russia, Qatar and Iran are going to pay big time. Countries like those mentioned do not respect weakness. They respect force."

Post this and pro-Hamasites will rip it down.

. . ."It was a year ­earlier, during the Carter administration, that the Revolutionary Islamic Government seized power in Iran.

" It also seized American hostages.

"It was Reagan who saw the opportunity to make the election in part about that.

"How dare any country seize Americans and get away with it? 

"He famously insisted that on Day One of his administration the hostages would be returned.

"The mullahs realized they were no longer dealing with a weak American leader and the hostages were duly brought home. 

"Today we are in a similar situation.

"Iran and Russia in particular are in an ugly citizen-bartering phase. 

"Vladimir Putin has now held an American journalist (Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich) for more than a year.

"Russia has invented charges against him and is clearly holding him to try to trade him at some point.

"In a little-covered story, Putin’s friends in Iran recently stole two Swedish civilians in order to swap them for an Iranian war criminal held in a Swedish jail.

"US citizen Robert Woodland was also recently detained in Russia.

"Again most likely for a swap.

"But most appalling is the more than 100 hostages currently being held by Iran and Qatar’s proxy army in Gaza: Hamas.

"These hostages include at least five Americans.

"To the shame of Biden and Harris, these Americans have been utterly abandoned." . . . 


McDonald’s Experiment Selling McPlant Burgers in the US Fails Spectacularly

 Leslie Eastman (legalinsurrection.com)


"We have been covering the Globalist War on Meat for a while at Legal Insurrection. The latest battle has produced a victory for Team Beef.

The iconic hamburger chain McDonald’s thought it might try to appease the anti-meat forces by experimenting with McPlant. The result was a spectacular failure.

McDonald’s declared that its experiment with plant-based burgers was a disaster.

Joe Erlinger, who heads US operations for the Chicago-based fast food giant, told a business conference that the company discontinued the pilot program after customers in San Francisco and Dallas-Fort Worth panned the McPlant.

The McPlant “was not successful in either market,” Erlinger told the Wall Street Journal’s Global Fast Food Forum in Chicago on Wednesday.

“I don’t think the US consumer is coming to McDonald’s or looking for McPlant or other plant-based proteins from McDonald’s now.” . . .

New York Liberals on Independence Day, Have Pro-Palestine Parade and Burn U.S. Flags Instead - "To be a Democrat is to hate the United States of America.

  The Lid (lidblog.com)

This was the jury pool for the Trump/ Bragg trial.

"Democrats in New York City had a big parade on July fourth… but not for the reasons an American would on that same day. No, the Democrats in New York City had a big pro-Palestine parade so they could burn U.S. flags and advocate for the murder of Jews.

You know… as one does if you are a New Yorker.

The video of the event began going viral on social media.. . .

 It’s despicable to see protesters burn the American flag 🇺🇸 on the 4th of July in NYC, while proudly waving Palestinian flags. The American flag has stood as a symbol of freedom and justice for 248 years. To burn the 🇺🇸 is morally repugnant. pic.twitter.com/DMjwa06XqW

. . . As the New York Post reported:

At least one person was arrested, cops said, but they did not disclose the charges the alleged perpetrator was facing.

Video shows a New Yorker in a Yankees hat trying to reason with the group, but he’s quickly shouted down by a man in glasses who gleefully cheers “F–k Israel! F–k America! Woohoo!” as his fellow pampered trust-fund radicals giggle in approval.

The camera then pans down to a tattered Old Glory, smoldering next to a poster depicting Trump and Biden wearing crowns beneath “DEATH TO ALL KINGS” in big block letters.

"To be a Democrat is to hate the United States of America."

After Trump Makes 1 Bold Claim About Black Workers, He Gets a Surprise Reply from Those Voters

 Mick Farthing (thepatriotjournal.com)

Not only are illegal aliens taking jobs from many black workers. But the millions of illegal aliens are taking housing away from Americans. That includes black workers who live in big cities. 


"Donald Trump has done what few Republican candidates ever dared. He is going into the inner cities, blue strongholds, to appeal to traditional Democrat voters. He is specifically trying to reach minority Americans who have been hurt by Biden’s policies.
"During a recent speech, he blasted Biden’s open border. He explained that the millions of illegals Biden has imported have hurt “black jobs.”
"The facts are behind Trump. Despite this, the media flipped out and tried (once again) to call Trump a racist. But even with the media’s endless hysteria and bellyaching, black Americans are responding in an unexpected way.

From Breitbart:

“There’s too many people coming across the border, getting all the jobs and I don’t like that,” Carling Colbert, a black retired warehouse worker from Macon, Ga., told the Washington Post for a June 30 article. “Trump was better on that. He tried to build the wall.”

The Associated Press acknowledged the polls show that many black Americans recognize that they lose from Biden’s migration…

Migration also drives up housing costs, especially among blacks living in urban districts.

Amid the media complaints, Trump’s criticism of migration pocketbook impact is now part of his standard stump speech.

They’ll drag Joe’s rotting carcass over the finish line even if it kills them



. . ."
New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers reported later that the Biden family did not have a pow-wow about the future of Biden’s reelection campaign as NBC’s unnamed sources claimed. Instead, the family spent the morning in hair and makeup to prepare for the photo shoot.
"I read the updates on Twitter with a growing sense of amusement.
"If you want to know why the Biden family wants its senile patriarch to continue publicly humiliating himself on the world stage, the clue is in the phrase “photo shoot with Annie Liebowitz.”
"Do you think Jill Biden wants to give up the wealth, fame, and perks that being married to a Democrat president guarantees?
"How else could an unremarkable elementary school teacher like Jill ever have the chance to rub elbows with Hollywood stars or pose for celebrity photographers like Annie Leibowitz?
"According to the New York Times, Joe’s convicted felon son Hunter was especially influential in convincing old Joe to continue dragging his half-dead carcass to November:" . . .
"One of the strongest voices imploring Mr. Biden to resist pressure to drop out was his son Hunter Biden, whom the president has long leaned on for advice, said one of the people informed about the discussions, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations. Hunter Biden wants Americans to see the version of his father that he knows — scrappy and in command of the facts — rather than the stumbling, aging president Americans saw on Thursday night.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
"No. That’s not why Hunter wants Daddy to stick this out. Nobody believes that.
"Without Joe in the White House, Hunter’s source of income dries up faster than spit on a summer sidewalk. Eastern European oligarchs will ignore his calls while Chinese officials send his emails to the spam folder.
"In short, Hunter and the rest of the Delaware hillbillies might have to get jobs." . . .

Biden claims he ‘shut Putin down’

 Read the Full Transcript of President Biden’s ABC News Interview - The New York Times   "The conversation between the president and George Stephanopoulos lasted about 20 minutes and aired Friday night."

AfterMath

Biden claims he ‘shut Putin down’ - Washington Examiner  "During a curious exchange on his foreign policy, Biden told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that he was responsible for the expansion of NATO as well as the man who “shut Putin down.”  Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine on Biden’s watch."

No word of correction from Stephanopolous on this. TD

“I’m the guy that put NATO together, the future,” Biden claimed. “No one thought I could expand it. I’m the guy that shut Putin down.  "No one thought could happen. I’m the guy that put together a South Pacific initiative with AUKUS. I’m the guy that got 50 nations out– not only in Europe, outside of Europe as well to help Ukraine.” 

"It’s not clear what he was referring to when he made the remarks about Putin as Russia ignored Biden and invaded Ukraine despite his threats. Putin remains in control of Russia and he has shown no signs of ending his war."   Putin responds to Biden: Russia can't be 'put down' and U.S. should learn respect

Putin says Biden is better for Russia than a Trump presidency
