Desperate Democrats; what sort of clown show will we see tonight? Karoline Leavitt UPDATE

 Don Surber   

"I mean it is not as if far-left candidates are not running the party. Democrats dumped Joe Manchin but kept AOC and the rest of the Odd Squad."


The Great Capitulation continues as Trump’s enemies bend at the knee like he was BLM. The Associated Press reported, “Democratic activists fueled anti-Trump protests at GOP town halls but also rage at their own party.”
"Ah. I see. AP openly admits the protests were not a grassroots effort but lefty kabuki theater with paid actors.
"Before Trump kicked AP out of the Oval Office and off Air Force One, the Hamas-shielding outlet would not have bothered reporting that the crowds at townhall meetings were Democrat actors. Access is everything in journalism. AP wants its back.
"The news channels have ditched some of Trump’s biggest nuisances in the quest for returning ratings to the levels of Trump’s first term. Joy Reid, Woodchuck Todd and Jimmy the Geek Acosta have departed either voluntarily or by the collar and belt by management throwing them out the door.
"This reflects a disinterest in four more years of on-air tantrums over Trump." . . .
. . ."Democrats are desperate. Under Obama, they followed the money and worked for the elitists. This made Obama rich but cost the party its traditional base of the middle-class. I don’t think the people they sneered at want them back." . . .
Tonight will we see Hamas scarves?

. . .Democrats simply wouldn't be Democrats without the grandstanding, gaslighting, and temper tantrums, all of which have predictably been on full display ahead of the joint address to Congress that President Donald Trump will be giving Tuesday night.

           The Democrats are out in full propaganda mode ahead of Trump’s speech tonight.

UPDATE: Karoline Leavitt Rips Dems Over Report They Plan to Protest Trump's Speech With Noisemakers, Egg Cartons  . . . "A wide array of props — including noisemakers — has also been floated," Axios revealed.

"The report suggests that Democrats may use their little ping pong paddles made of popsicle sticks with messages written on them as well, à la Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) during last year's speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as egg cartons to protest inflation, something they were big fans of for four years.

"They might also be bringing hand-clappers and coordinating the color of their outfits. It's pre-school in Congress, ladies and gentlemen!

"No word on whether those outfits will also feature kente cloths or if those particular political props are out of style these days." . .  .

The Resistance To Climate Alarmism Grows

 Issues & Insights

  We expect the alarmists, if any of them read this, will accuse us of being paid off by the oil industry. If only. We could use the cash. 

Mike Beckom

"The end is near. That’s what we’ve been told since the beginning. The doomsdayers have cited a variety of cataclysms that will do us in, from asteroids to resource exhaustion to a dying sun. But they all have one thing in common: So far, they’ve all been wrong. Same with the climate alarmists. And the public is catching on.

"A study, published by the Stanford University School of Sustainability, no less, found that “resistance to climate action has become a global movement that strengthens after governments implement climate-related policies.”

“ 'We found that counter climate change organizations tend to emerge after pro-environmental policies are institutionalized in government,” said the study’s senior author.

"Of course they do. As our friends at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity observed, this has happened “maybe because the war on fossil fuels has deindustrialized Germany and many other European nations. Maybe it’s because green energy is so much more expensive to produce. Maybe because the biggest polluters like China have done nothing.”

"Let’s add another “maybe.” The resistance is likely also based on a growing skepticism. We have been bombarded by global warming scare stories for more than three decades and yet we’re still here. No matter how much the alarmists cheat, lie, obfuscate and bully, it’s obvious that the entire narrative is based on assumptions, speculation and political ideology. Every claim they make can be easily refuted. To name a few, which we’ll call the big three:

"We just lived through the hottest year/month/week/day on record. This is meaningless. Hottest compared to what? The only reliable measure we have is from satellite readings that go back to only 1979 and they show nothing to get worked up about.

"All other data are entirely unreliable. Mixing tree rings, mercury thermometer records that are “adjusted,” numbers from nonexistent and compromised weather stations and modern equipment to whip up widespread fear is scientific malpractice." . . .

UPDATE: People Are Increasingly Skeptical of the Climate Scolds - Because the Scolds Are So Often Wrong  "A great man once said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time." 

"And yet that's what the climate doom-cryers have been trying to do for the last few decades, from Al "I've never gotten over the 2000 election" Gore to the Swedish Doom Pixie Greta "How DARE you!" Thunberg." Remainder behind a pay wall.

Bill O'Reilly Asks What If Kamala Harris Were Elected President   "Bill O'Reilly goes into detail on what a Kamala Harris presidency would have meant for the country, and what President Trump has accomplished so far."

Trump tells Jewish Republicans 'Israel is gone' if Harris wins - POLITICO 

 “ 'I will keep America safe and I will work with you to make sure Israel is with us for thousands of years,” Trump said in remarks from New York. “We’re not going to let go of it.' ” . . . Don't say that on American campuses!

Israel will not exist if Harris is elected, Trump claims in fiery debate - The Jewish Chronicle   "Vice-President Kamala Harris insisted the Israel Hamas war must "end immediately" while Trump claimed she "hates Israel" and ducked a meeting with Bejamin Netanyahu for a sorority party in the combustive first debate between the pair.

"Speaking in Philadelphia, the presidential candidates both pledged to help defend Israel but clashed over who had a stronger record on national security.

"Begining her answer with a potted history of the Israel Hamas war, Harris said Israel has a right to defend itself, “but it matters how.”She said: “Let’s understand how we got here. On October 7, Hamas, a terrorist organisation, slaughtered 1,200 Israelis, many of them young people who were simply attending a concert where women were horribly raped. And so, absolutely… Israel has a right to defend itself...

" 'And how it does so matters, because it is also true that far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed, children, mothers. What we know is that this war must end, it must end immediately, and the way it will end is we need a ceasefire deal and we need the hostages out. So we will continue to work around the clock on that.”

"America should “chart a course for a two-state solution” that would ensure security for Israelis and Palestinians, Harris said."

Is Harris not aware that Palestinians had their own prototype state in Gaza? A separate country free of Jews who were moved out forcefully by Israel to satisfy treaty requirements. How has that worked out? Kamala had the intelligence of Greta Thunberg, the Keffiyeh-clad "Doom goblin’" of Sky News. Gazans must never be bike/ kite close to Israel ever again. TD

Red-District DOGE Protests, Cited As Proof of Broad Musk 'Backlash,' Were Organized By Soros Groups

Free Beacon  

"The New York Times and CBS also mentioned the Fitzgerald town hall, though neither included Indivisible's involvement."


"When angry voters confronted Rep. Rich McCormick over DOGE at a town hall held in the Georgia Republican's deep-red district, the New York TimesWashington Post, and CBS News cited the scene as proof of emerging bipartisan "backlash" over Elon Musk's efforts to slash government spending. CBS included a quote from one of the protest's organizers, Maggie Goldman, describing her only as a McCormick constituent." . . .

. . ."The George Soros-funded groups Indivisible and MoveOn were at the center of the demonstrations. Both groups launched national "mobilization" efforts targeting the "Trump-Musk agenda" and "Trump-Musk coup" during the recess period. MoveOn said its "members and allies will show up at congressional-led town halls and congressional offices around the country, targeting House Republicans whose votes will be crucial in opposing Trump and Musk's harmful policies." Indivisible issued a "Musk or Us Recess Toolkit" that showed members how to find their local town halls and urged them to "take the fight to Elon.' " . . .

'We're all Bibas this year': Store offers Batman costume for 10 shekels in honor of slain hostages

 Jerusalem Post  

"A Batman costume for kids and adults will be sold for only 10 shekels as a tribute to slain hostage, 4-year-old Ariel Bibas, who loved the superhero."


. . ." 'This is not about making money—this is a pure loss from my own pocket, but I want to do it," she explained. "I see in all the comments that there's a huge desire to dress up as Batman for Purim in honor of the Bibas family. So I got masks—one shekel each—just so TikTok on Purim will be filled with this mask."

"The whole country will be posting videos on Purim with Batman masks. We're all Bibas this year."

Why is the Batman costume so prominent in Israel today?

"The Batman costume has become closely associated with Ariel Bibas, who was tragically murdered by Hamas. The last Purim before he was kidnapped, Ariel dressed as Batman. At his kindergarten, he drew pictures of his favorite superhero and told his teacher he dreamed of "flying and saving people stuck in a pit." . . .


Sadly, here in America: Pro-Hamas vandals desecrate University of Michigan memorial to slain Bibas family 



   "A memorial honoring the Bibas family at the University of Michigan was desecrated with “Free Palestine” and an inverted red triangle.

"The memorial was painted on “The Rock” – a large boulder regularly repainted by UMich students – in orange with the names of Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel written on it in memory of the three Bibases who were murdered in Hamas captivity. Their bodies were returned to Israel in the recent hostage-prisoner exchange deal, and they were buried last week.

7 Lessons from Sunday’s Insanely Long Oscars Ceremony

Hollywood in Toto  

A genuine Oscars highlight? Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal reunited to announce the Best Picture winner. The “When Harry Met Sally” stars lit up the night and rekindled warm memories of one of the best rom-coms in the modern era. 

 

It didn’t work, but the gala stuck to the script more than many expected during a Trump presidency.

"Why?

"It’s one of seven lessons shared during the agonizingly long telecast – three hours and 46 minutes, to be exact.

America Doesn’t Care About Hollywood’s Politics

"We officially shared that hard truth on Nov. 5, 2024. Hollywood rallied en masse for Vice President Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump won every swing state.

"We. Don’t. Care.

"That’s likely why Oscar producers did all they could to remove politics from the telecast. Host Conan O’Brien’s opening monologue lacked a single Trump jab. He capped the gags by embracing film as a path to unify a nation." . . .

Speaking of Hollywood: Fonda disproves the adage age brings wisdom  

"Over half a century later, Fonda proves herself to be no wiser. Recognizing that the term “woke” is divisive today, she is trying to redefine it to mean “empathy” explaining:" . . .

Douglas Murray: EUROPE Better Take This Seriously—Or They’ll Regret It

TheRoverReport "Douglas Murray talks about Munich Security Conference, where U.S. Vice President JD Vance delivered a blunt warning to European leaders: the greatest threat to Europe is not Russia, but the internal chaos caused by mass migration. He argued that open-border policies have led to severe social and security issues, yet European officials refuse to acknowledge the reality.

No One Is Ready for What Comes Next… ...   "Vance’s remarks sparked outrage among top European figures. Germany’s defense minister called his statements "unacceptable," while Chancellor Olaf Scholz went as far as accusing him of "improper behavior" and election interference. Rather than engaging with the facts, European leaders chose to attack the messenger."


"As a conservative Canadian very much under the speech tyranny of the Trudeau government, it's astounding to see the European reaction to Vance's speech. There should be nothing in it even remotely controversial. Dialogue is not something we merely suffer for the sake of a free and open society, it's the very cornerstone of it."

“Listen up. I am Jordanian, and I tell you that the two-state solution is dead, stone cold. And I’ll tell you why.



 “ 'Listen up. I am Jordanian, and I tell you that the two-state solution is dead, stone cold. And I’ll tell you why.“Listen up. I am Jordanian, and I tell you that the two-state solution is dead, stone cold. And I’ll tell you why.

"Back in 1994, when Yitzhak Rabin was ready to hand the Palestinians a state on a silver platter, who was the loudest voice against it? Benjamin Netanyahu. And what did the world call him? A radical, an enemy of peace, a warmonger. Even inside Israel, many thought he was being extreme. But was he?

"Bibi’s argument was simple: You don’t hand a state to people who openly declare that your country has no right to exist and that their ultimate goal is to wipe you off the map. That’s not a “peace process”, that’s national suicide.

"He understood the security risks. A Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) would leave Israel a mere 9 miles wide at its narrowest point. That’s nothing. That’s an easy invasion route. That’s a security nightmare. It would take minutes to cut Israel in half and massacre its people.

"But did Israel listen? Of course not. In 2000, Ehud Barak came back and sweetened the deal. He offered Arafat a state again. Thank God Arafat said no. And why did he say no? Because he never wanted a state, he wanted Israel gone.

"Fast forward to 2005. Ariel Sharon tried another approach. He said, “Fine, let’s give them a test run.” So he pulled every single Jew out of Gaza, 70,000 settlers, forcibly removed. He even went so far as to dig up Jewish graves to ensure Gaza was 100% Judenrein. No excuses left. The Palestinians had a chance to prove they could run a state.

"So what did they do? Did they build hospitals, schools, and infrastructure? Did they work on nation-building? Did they take this golden opportunity and create a thriving mini-state to prove to the world that they were ready for independence?

Nope. Instead, they turned Gaza into a terrorist launchpad. Since 2005, Gaza has been a rocket factory, a jihadist training camp, and a tunnel network straight out of a horror movie. Billions in aid poured in, and instead of building a future, Hamas built weapons to destroy Israel.

"So let’s go back to the original question: Who was right, the dreamers who kept offering the Palestinians a state or Bibi Netanyahu, who warned them this would be a disaster?

"The answer is clear. Bibi was right. The Palestinians never cared about statehood. They only cared about destroying the Jewish state.

"And this is the part most people don’t want to say out loud: This conflict was never about “occupation.” That was always a lie. The West Bank and Gaza are just convenient excuses. The real issue is Islamic jihad.

"Bibi understands this better than anyone. The people Israel has been negotiating with for decades don’t want borders. They want annihilation. It’s not about compromise. It’s about erasing Israel from the map.

"So, no, the two-state solution isn’t “dying.” It’s already dead. And it’s been dead since the first time Israel tried to make peace with people who don’t believe in peace.' ”

Report: Mexican Cartel Leaders in Fear After Trump Admin Designates Them as Terrorist Orgs

 Breitbart   

"While the threat of tariffs from Trump was credited as being behind the increase in the crackdown on drug cartels in Mexico, the outlet reported that Sheinbaum “had showed her willingness to take on the cartels” after taking office in October 2024."

"Mexican drug cartels are reportedly in fear and going into hiding, and Mexican law enforcement officials have ramped up arrests and drug busts in response to the Trump administration threatening to hit the country with tariffs.

"Several cartel members told the New York Times they had either “gone into hiding” or were in the process of “trying to figure out how to protect” their families “in case the American military” launches strikes in Mexico as a result of the Trump administration designating the crime syndicates as terrorist organizations.  

"One “high-ranking member” in the Sinaloa Cartel told the outlet that “you can’t be calm” or sleep “because you don’t know when they’ll catch you,” and other cartel members explained that they were faced with “selling off property and firing unessential personnel.”

"The New York Times reported that in response to President Donald Trump threatening to impose tariffs on Mexico and Canada until the mass inflows of illegal aliens and fentanyl across the borders into the United States were stopped, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has sent her government “on the offensive” and has “dispatched 10,00 national guard troops to the border”:" . . .  More...

Trump’s strategic mastery: How he outmaneuvered Zelenskyy and JD Vance played the perfect hand -

 But Hollywood and Democrats in general have the wisdom of Greta Thunberg and fill the media with their ignorance, having with the goal of seeing President Trump fail. As Ronald Reagan once said, "The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

Associates Times  

"Both Trump and JD Vance knew exactly what Zelenskyy was going to do—he would use this opportunity, in front of the American people, to make a power play. Both Trump and Vance anticipated this" . . .


"Donald Trump has been under constant political persecution since the beginning of his first term. Over time, he has learned to be patient and calculated.

"Tonight, Zelenskyy was invited to the Oval Office. However, both Trump and JD Vance knew exactly what Zelenskyy was going to do—he would use this opportunity, in front of the American people, to make a power play. Both Trump and Vance anticipated this.

"When Zelenskyy began appealing to the emotions of the American people, JD Vance stepped in, accusing him of disrespecting Donald Trump. This was brilliant strategy. It’s important to understand that Zelenskyy is trying to gain access to NATO.

"Trump knew this but could not allow it to happen. If Ukraine joins NATO, the U.S. would be bound by NATO’s collective defense agreement—an attack on one is an attack on all.

"Now consider the larger implications: Ukraine and Russia despise each other. If Ukraine were to become a NATO member, any future skirmish between them would obligate the U.S. to enter into direct conflict with Russia. This would mean World War III. And if that happened, China would have to choose a side—they would almost certainly align with Russia.

"So what you witnessed tonight was a setup. Trump and JD Vance knew that the only way to achieve peace was to strategically align, at least on the surface, with Russia. Why? Because Russia would never sign a peace treaty if Ukraine were admitted into NATO.

"This is why Trump dismantled Zelenskyy’s argument. And when Zelenskyy, seeing his play failing, tried to backtrack and offer a treaty, Trump refused.

"Zelenskyy’s real intent was clear—he would not agree to peace unless security guarantees were in place. But what was he actually saying? That NATO must accept Ukraine. However, Russia would never agree to peace, knowing that NATO, their historical adversary, would surround them." . . .
