KILL OBAMACARE, NOT CEOs

 Ann Coulter

"Obamacare is a welfare program for people with freakish sexual predilections, except that instead of being funded with tax revenue, it’s funded with our insurance premiums. The middle class pays through the nose for health insurance in order to enable insurance companies to comply with a preposterous array of government mandates and regulations."

"Inasmuch as the most popular reaction to the cold-blooded murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been to hail the shooter as a hero, I gather that Americans really hate health insurance companies.

"Apparently, Obamacare isn’t all it was cracked up to be.

"Valedictorian McDonald’s boy’s rage is justified but wildly misses the target because literally everything wrong with health care was given to us by Barack Obama and the Democrats. Without a single Republican vote, they jammed through Obamacare in an unconstitutional procedure — it was a tax bill that didn’t originate in the House because it wouldn’t have had the votes — wrecking the already government-corrupted health insurance business.

"We were promised that under Obamacare:

1. Everyone would have affordable, quality health care.

2. Not a dime would be added to the deficit.

3. Premiums would go down.

4. You could keep your health insurance if you liked it.

5. You could keep your doctor if you liked him.

And it all came true! Except those last five things.

"Premiums went through the roof because Democrats mandated, among other things, that insurance companies cover an array of exotic medical treatments popular with their base — e.g., men who think they’re women, people who can’t figure out how to use a condom, drug addicts, day drinkers, people who bring their emotional support Shetland ponies on airplanes, and so on." . . .

"No matter how sure you are that you’re never going to need your penis cut off in order to “change” genders, Democrats decided you should not be allowed to buy a health insurance plan that fails to cover penis chopping, along with dozens of associated avant-garde procedures."

The Worst Presidents in American History

Steve McCann  

"Within a matter of just sixteen years this nation was governed by the most anti-American president and the most corrupt presidents in its history. Coupled with an Obama controlled and Marxist-influenced Democrat Party and their ability to manipulate elections, America was facing an inevitable descent into a one-party socialist oligarchy. Thus, the importance of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement in rescuing this nation in 2024 cannot be overstated." 

"There have been 45 men who have been president of the United States. Over the decades there has been voluminous speculation over who were the worst. That distinction now belongs to Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Obama was the most anti-American and radical president in American history and Joe Biden was the most venal and corrupt president in American history.

"This attached-at-the-hip duo has done more damage to the United States and its founding principles than any presidents in American history.

"Obama, a stealth but avowed Marxist, governed as a president unabashedly determined to shred the Constitution and transform the nation and its institutions. After the shock of Trump winning in 2016, Obama and his fellow-travelers, utilizing massive voting fraud and manipulation, made certain that Joe Biden was “elected” in 2020 to further their agenda. Biden was chosen because he could be easily manipulated or essentially blackmailed by the Obama-led cabal due to his well-known and long history of corruption and venality.

"On October 30, 2008, Obama openly stated that he would “fundamentally transform the United States” while his wife, Michelle, boasted “we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history; we’re going to move in a different place as a nation.” Following the installation of the most radical administration in the history of the country, the final stages of the grand strategy to fundamentally transform the nation into a permanent one-party socialist oligarchy began.

"Obama unabashedly denigrated the nation’s founding and history, oversaw the Marxist domination of the Democrat Party, set in motion unrestrained voting and attendant fraud that were the hallmarks of the 2020 election, dramatically accelerated welfare-state expansion, massively financed extreme Left-wing organizations, mainstreamed sexual deviancy in order to fracture the culture, and packed the judiciary and bureaucracy with likeminded Marxist sympathizers."

Biden Takes Credit for Syria Regime Change He Tried to Prevent . . ."Biden provided Iran with sanctions relief and bailed out Hezbollah just as it was on the verge of defeat. He's trying to take credit for other people's victories while pretending that this was a desired outcome, rather than Turkey taking the initiative and exploiting a weakened Hezbollah.

"Biden gets no credit here for anything except trying to save Hezbollah. And therefore, by extension, Assad."

The race-baiting mob didn’t win this time

 "When the jury came back the second time, while the predictable mob was protesting outside the courthouse with screams of “Penny is a murderer,” and “Daniel Penny, the Subway Strangler,” they were not intimidated into arriving at a guilty verdict.  The usual suspects, including Black Thugs Matter and other malcontents, who add nothing positive to the city, state, or country, spewed the tired old racial rhetoric that is as anachronistic as rotary-dial phones."

The race-baiting mob didn’t win this time   "Daniel Penny was found not guilty in the so-called “chokehold trial” in NYC.  In my opinion, he never should have been arrested and tried in the first place.

"If you’ve ever ridden the subway in NYC, you know what it feels like to be vulnerable to other riders around you in that closed chamber on wheels.  If you are unfortunate enough to be on a subway car with someone who suddenly exhibits violent behavior, you’re likely to experience the “flight or fight” response.  However, what does one do when there is no way to retreat?  Or suppose you could escape the threat but are aware of the threat to others who might not be able to escape?  Should you run for cover and leave them unprotected?

"This is the dilemma that faced Daniel Penny, a 26-year-old Marine veteran, when he found himself in a subway car with Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man who had been arrested dozens of times for various crimes including assaults on women in the subway and larceny.  Mr. Neely was screaming and threatening violence toward passengers while proclaiming that he was “ready to die.”  Witnesses said they feared for their lives as Neely screamed, “I don’t mind going to jail and getting life in prison.  Someone is going to die today!”  Mr. Penny ignored Neely until he saw him approach a mother with her small son, hiding behind a stroller.  He heard Neely threaten: “I will kill.”

"That’s when Penny got involved.  He came up behind the man and grabbed him by the neck, and they both fell to the ground with Penny’s arm around Neely’s neck.  The police arrived several minutes later, and Neely was found to have a faint pulse as he was being transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced DOA.  Penny was questioned by NYPD detectives and released without charge." . . .

This first family cries out for parody

First, this real news item:  Biden Grants Record 39 Presidential Pardons and Commutes 1,500 Sentences   "On Thursday he issues presidential pardons to 39 Americans convicted of non-violent crimes while commuting the sentences of nearly 1,500 other people in the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history." . . . No shame in Democrat corruption.

Biden Forced To Issue Another Pardon After Hunter Commits 17 More Crimes

"WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following his controversial announcement last night absolving his son of all criminal convictions and prosecution, news broke early this morning that President Joe Biden was forced to issue another pardon after Hunter went out and committed 17 more crimes overnight.

"While the President's decision to pardon his son a second time after repeatedly vowing not to do so was met with immediate criticism, President Biden remained defiant.

" 'I am hereby issuing a full pardon for my son, Hunter… again," the president told reporters. "Listen up, folks… everybody makes mistakes. Hunter is the finest and most intelligent man I've ever known. Spending the entire night after receiving a pardon celebrating with a dozen ladies of the night and a mound of cocaine the size of a snow bank doesn't change that. To my knowledge, Hunter making multiple phone calls to foreign entities to offer discounts on influence for the remainder of my term isn't… it's not… he didn't do anything… nothing he did was… it's all fine. Anyway…"

"Biden was then whisked off for a flight, where he was expected to issue a third pardon for his son to absolve him of any crimes committed while the president was traveling.

"At publishing time, Hunter Biden was last seen on his way to celebrate his latest pardon with an all-day spending spree at Crazy Jimmy's Wholesale European Escorts & Crack."

The Reading List of Luigi Mangione, Suspect in Brian Thompson’s Killing

The Intercept

An account linked to Luigi Mangione, a suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, left a trail of book reviews online.

"When the identity of the person who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was a mystery, Americans grafted their own ideas about the gunman onto the little information available. Now that a person of interest in the case has been arrested, that imagined character is bumping up against the identity and writings of a named suspect, who appears to have left an extensive trail of book reviews, including for an anti-technology manifesto written by the Unabomber and treatises on managing back pain.

"Along with a three-page, handwritten manifesto reportedly in the possession of Luigi Mangione upon his arrest, those online traces may offer insight into the motives of a man accused of a killing that touched a nerve for Americans exhausted with profit-hungry health care companies.

"Much of the online chatter has centered on the book written by Ted Kaczynski, the man known as the Unabomber, who conducted a nearly 20-year campaign of mail bombings designed to reverse society’s accelerating technological revolution." . . .

One has to suspect these are the same generation loudly cheering the Hamas slaughter of Israeli families that October 7th, leading to the current war, and those wearing masks while burning American cities over the death of a woman- abuser. TD

Eighty years ago: the Battle Of The Bulge; The Wereth Eleven

80th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge

National Archives Museum

German Propaganda Footage about the Ardennes Offensive- 4 January 1945  "The Ardennes Offensive, in English also known as “Battle of the Bulge”, officially called “Operation Wacht am Rhein” was one of the last major German offensives of WWII.

"Driven by wrong political and diplomatic conclusions, Hitler believed that the Coalition of the Western Allies was close to collapsing in mid/late 1944, and all that was needed was one crucial victory. He therefore ordered the last German reserves to be mobilized for a large offensive in the Ardennes region, which was planned from September 1944 onwards. The goal was to inflict a major loss on the Allies and capture the important port of Antwerp. "Three German armies, the 6th and 5th Tank Armies and the 7th Army, totaling around 220,000 soldiers, 550 tanks and 700 assault guns, attacked on December 16th, 1944, in the Ardennes region in Belgium/Luxembourg. "The Allies, who didn’t thought Germany was still able of launching a major offensive, had only weak forces in that area, around four divisions and a few other units, most of them fresh units with little to no combat experiences, around 85,000 men. They further failed to recognize the German troop movements, largely because the Germans kept their plans on a tight security level, with most orders being given via courier, instead of radio, so that the Allies were unable to intercept these messages. The Germans had supply shortages, especially fuel, so they planned to capture Allied fuel depots during their offensive. "The Germans initially made some progress but failed to capture large Allied fuel depots and encountered stiff Allied resistance, especially at the famous Siege of Bastogne and the less famous, but even more important Battle of Elsenborn Ridge in the northern section of the offensive. "Ultimately, the Allies were able to bring in enough reserves and the initial surprise quickly wore off, so the Germans had to stop their offensive in late December 1944. The Allies recaptured all their lost territory until February 1945. "Both the German (17,200 killed,16,000 prisoners 530 tanks and 800 aircraft ) and Allies (19,200 killed, 21,200 prisoners, 800 tanks and 1,000 aircrafts) suffered heavy losses during the offensive, but the Allies were able to replace these losses in a short time, the Germans weren’t. " "Thus, the Battle of the Bulge wasted the last substantial reserves the Germans had and ultimately sped up Germanys already unavoidable downfall. "This is footage from German propaganda newsreels, showing the initially successes of the Ardennes offensive. "It was shown in the German Newsweek, a German propaganda newsreel, on January 4th, 1945."

Belgium: Monument to the Wereth Eleven

"When German prisoners of war arrived at Camp Gruber, Tech. Sgt. William Edward Pritchett was compelled to deliver a concern to his captain. The men of the 333rd noticed the POWs were fed better than the 333rd and that white GIs showed more courtesy and respect for the Germans than to their fellow black comrades. McLeod forwarded those remarks to Kelsey, but they were shooed aside.

Hollywood Is Killing Itself: Good

 Derek Hunter

  "I don’t know who the specific people greenlighting movies the public collectively yawns at, but I know the type – you can’t avoid them in politics. They are the uber-leftists who are ready to be offended; bandwagon jumpers who likely haven’t given politics a serious thought in their entire lives, but promote causes because doing so will lead to social status." . . .

"I love movies – there’s nothing like them for escapism and entertainment – but Hollywood is something else entirely. It is an orgy or narcissism and rape; casting couch feminists and private jet environmentalists. The extremely wealthy who set up “charities” named after themselves to filter income through to avoid paying the taxes they advocate should be raised on everyone else. They are largely hypocrites and just plain bad people.

"They are also destroying themselves, which is something worth noting and celebrating.

"Box office numbers and high-profile flops like the Joker sequel (did anyone need or want that?) are some prime examples of just how far down the toilet Hollywood has slipped. People are not interested in what they are selling.

"Then there are the awards. No industry celebrates itself more than Hollywood does. They create award shows, awards in award shows, and new categories to constantly be able to market something as “nominated for this many of that award” before the winner ultimately brags of being a “winner” of those awards.

"Only, those awards don’t mean anything if the movies don’t, and the movies don’t. 

"The reason movies don’t matter anymore is the industry doesn’t know how to make movies people like anymore. When was the last time there was a movie you had to see in theaters that did not involve you having to take a kid to see it? I saw Deadpool and Wolverine in theaters because I wanted to, but that’s about it for non-kid movies for about 3-4 years, if not more." . . .

By "Hollywood", I include "The View", Late-night hosts like Kimmel, Colbert, et.al, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alyssa Milano, Fonda, Clooney, and so very many more.  But there are conservatives in Hollywood: Conservative Celebrities, some, sadly are no longer with us. TD

So, So, Many Silly Women

 Alicia Colon 

"I am deeply grateful that there are far more wise women than the harpies and low-info hysterics that appear on the View and MSNBC." . . .

"It was a pleasant  surprise to find that there are more, smart, educated women than the supposed number of fools that the mainstream media predicted would turn out to vote for Kamala Harris.

"Those poor souls are now shaving their heads and denying men sex to punish them for voting for the allegedly misogynous Donald  J. Trump. Another group of pathetic females are having themselves sterilized to punish the nonexistent men they believe plan to impregnate them. The TikTok videos of these narcissistic lemmings screaming in anguish after the election and the GOP’s triumph, would be amusing except for the fact that these are people suffering real pain unnecessarily.  All of these women really believe the big lie that women’s rights are in danger. They never were.

"We are living in the 21st Century not Regency England when women did not enjoy the freedoms allowed today. It was so easy for the progressive Democrats to charge that the conservative right was  endangering women’s reproductive rights because this issue has been successfully exploited for years and women haven’t bothered to delve into its substance. What the left  really means is their sacred cash cow, abortion, is being threatened. This is an issue which began with lies that is still fattening the pockets of an amoral, duplicitous political cabal.

"When the Supreme Court destroyed the blatant unconstitutionality of Roe v. Wade, they merely turned the issue of abortion back to the states. Women determined to get rid of their unwanted offspring will find that every blue state will gladly perform that service. New York State just passed an amendment that will allow you to empty your womb up to delivery date if you choose because doggonit, it’s your reproductive right.

"I wish a good reporter would dare to ask one of these hysterical anti-Trump protesters exactly what they mean about their reproductive rights being taken away by the dastardly Republicans." . . .

We can count on Biden granting more pardons to some of the least-deserving people imaginable.

The American Spectator 

"The Constitution doesn’t limit a president’s power to pardon. Only common sense and good judgment do. Biden has neither.

https://rofcbybroc.com/

"The fact that Joe Biden lied, saying he wouldn’t pardon his crackhead son Hunter, and then did exactly that, isn’t the end of the pardons our president will grant or the controversies they will result in. There are forty-two more days Biden will be president, so there’s more damage to be done.

"The presidential power to pardon extends only to federal crimes excepting impeachment. That power is subjected to no check or balance in our system of government. It is the president’s alone.

"As Andy McCarthy has written, wrongful pardons are simply another form of “lawfare,” a term that is loosely defined. It includes abusing the justice system by indicting and trying people who shouldn’t be indicted — such as President-elect Trump — and pardoning undeserving people such as Hunter Biden.

"To be at least a bit fair, Biden was going to pardon his son regardless of what he said. Anyone who was paying attention to the lies Biden has repeated on a wide variety of subjects couldn’t have been surprised. The White House has said that Biden is thinking about pardoning others which means other pardons have already been decided and will be granted before Biden leaves the presidency. Who may be the beneficiaries?

"The Wall Street Journal postulates that Biden could pardon former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Milley and Dr, Anthony Fauci for his role in concealing the origins of COVID (and lying about it to congress) as well as others.

"Gen. Milley was certainly culpable in the debacle that Biden created in withdrawing from Afghanistan, but timidity and stupidity aren’t punishable under criminal law. But his calls to Chinese leaders — during which he allegedly told them that he wouldn’t order a strike on China regardless of a presidential order — are definitely punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Whatever Dr. Fauci may have been guilty of, the statute of limitations — usually two, but not more than five years, under the U.S. Code — has already run out. It’s a rarity for an offense to have a statute of limitations longer than five years." . . .

. . ."The left’s lawfare will continue at least for the entirety of Donald Trump’s second term. Politically-motivated litigation will try to create bars to everything Trump does, from cutting back on Biden’s regulatory spree to reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy." . . .

Rebottled Jew-Hate: The Boycott of Jewish Genius

 2024 Gatestone Institute 

"Since October 7, a sort of quiet boycott of Israeli researchers has begun, of the kind that has never been seen before. This boycott is reflected in the cancellation of invitations to joint conferences, the rejection of articles for publication, the rejection of grants to Israeli researchers, and more."

. . ."Somewhat covertly, in November 2024, Ayelet Shaked, a former Israeli Minister of Justice, was shockingly denied permission to enter Australia for the purpose of participating in a conference discussing current Middle East events. The conference was hosted by the Australia Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC), and intended to be a Jewish community event.

"Colin Rubenstein, executive director of AIJAC, denounced the visa denial, made without a reason being disclosed at the time, by Australian Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke. In Rubenstein's view, "The decision to refuse a visa to... Shaked on the grounds that she would vilify Australians and incite discord among the community is a disgraceful act of hostility towards a democratic ally."

"Refusing entry to a Western country of a former Israeli cabinet minister is simply a further incident in a global de-platforming movement against Jewish-Israeli personalities. In January 2022, some 20 cultural acts withdrew in protest against sponsorship by Israel's embassy in Australia of a performance by the Sydney Dance Company, scheduled to be presented at Sydney's cultural festival. The act was based on a work by Tel Aviv's Batsheva Dance Company, and Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin, but was vilified due to its Israel-Jewish connection.

"A December 2023 report, by Israel's National Council for Civilian Research and Development, cautioned that an "unofficial boycott is taking place in Western academia." . . .

The Biden Trap

 Biden wants to create a disaster that can be blamed on Trump. TD

https://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Biden sets a foreign policy trap for Trump with the looming Ukraine catastrophe.  . . ."As Democrats look ahead to 2028, a matchup perhaps with Vance, they are certainly recalling how the disastrous ending to our Afghanistan involvement marked the turning point in the American public’s perception of Biden’s competence as a president. They would love to turn the tables.

"They will say, “We did everything we could to save Ukraine.” They will trot out the list of all the weapons supplied, they will highlight all the billions provided. “Not our fault,” they will insist. “Trump owns this one. He promised peace, and brought catastrophe instead.” As the Afghanistan example makes clear, while the American people rightly disdain involvement in foreign wars, they also react angrily to any perception of national embarrassment — and they are quick to punish perceived failures.

Avoiding the Trap

"But if failure looms in Ukraine, its most notable author will be Joe Biden. Every dollar of U.S. assistance has come with paralyzing strings attached or has been released and delivered long after it could have achieved decisive results. As one example, the Danes and the Dutch were eager to donate their F-16 fighter jets (fabricated in Belgium, not the U.S.), but the Biden administration dragged its feet about allowing this to go forward.

"Furthermore, as the Trump team takes up the burden of dealing with the mess they’ve been handed in Ukraine, they would do well to point out just how behind handed Biden’s support for Ukraine has been. While the $62 billion might well have been spent on other priorities — hurricane relief comes to mind — it pales beside so much else the Biden administration has spent foolishly. By one estimate Biden has already spent some $620 billion on student debt cancellation, almost precisely ten times the military assistance sent to Ukraine. The Trump team might also point to the billions in military equipment abandoned to the Taliban" . . .

Biden Gave Iran $10 Billion in Sanctions Relief Days After Trump Won Election

Daniel Penny’s Acquittal: How the Left’s Focus on Race Ignores the Reality of the Case

Legal Insurrection 

"Perhaps the most strikingly ironic reaction to the verdict came from Jordan Neely’s father, Andre Zachary. His indignation, following years of absence from his son’s life, rang hollow to many observers. Zachary, who was absent during Neely’s upbringing and struggles with homelessness, drug addiction, and mental illness, has now surfaced to file a lawsuit against Daniel Penny, seeking damages “in a sum which exceeds the jurisdictional limits of all lower courts.' ” 

"In May 2023, Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old mentally ill homeless man under the influence of K2, a potent synthetic marijuana, boarded a Manhattan subway car and shouted death threats at passengers. Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old Marine veteran and architecture student, acted swiftly to subdue Neely by placing him in a chokehold. Tragically, Neely later died.

"While Neely’s death was undeniably unfortunate, passengers expressed gratitude for Penny’s decisive action in neutralizing what they perceived as a grave threat. But for the fact that Penny is white and Neely was black, that would have been that.

"The public was shocked two weeks later when New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office charged Penny with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.

"At the time, Neely was reportedly on the city’s “Top 50” list—a designation by a task force monitoring individuals deemed of significant concern, as noted by The New York Times.

"It was a case that never should have been brought and on Monday, a Manhattan jury voted to acquit Penny. For many Americans, the verdict symbolized a triumph of justice, restoring faith in the legal system.

"On the political Left, however, the outcome sparked outrage. Predictably, they managed to ignore the threat Neely had posed to the other passengers on that fateful day, and focused solely on the color of Neely’s skin." . . .

UPDATE: Ron DeSantis Invites Daniel Penny to Florida to ‘Get His Life Back’ After Acquittal 

"Speaking with Fox News on Tuesday, Penny said that the City of New York failed to protect the public, which led to Jordan Neely’s death."
