Have At 'Em, Antifa! The New Free Speech
...So I guess we can forget that sonorous horse crap about the First Amendment protecting ideas that "society finds ... offensive or disagreeable." The left's new model is a public-private partnership to prohibit speech unacceptable to Joy Ann Reid....
"In 2017, as fear and loathing of Donald Trump seized the nation, a U.S. mayor got a four-star resort to cancel a conservative conference by threatening to withdraw police and fire protection.
"With all the media blubbering about "attempts to DESTROY our democracy" and violations of "constitutional norms, " it's remarkable that this Howitzer blast to the First Amendment has received barely any attention, much less the front-page coverage it deserves, not even from the conservative press.
"The banned conference, you see, was about immigration.
"Wow, our elites really don't want Americans thinking about immigration! (Remember, kids: It's a right-wing conspiracy theory -- and racist, to boot! -- to think that liberals are using mass immigration to change the country.)
"The sponsor of the conference was VDARE, a long-standing immigration website espousing ideas that are basically identical to Trump's 2016 immigration promises -- both before he made them and after he broke them. The main difference is that the arguments on VDARE are expressed in proper English, and the writers actually believe what they say.
" As the 2016 election demonstrated, these ideas are quite popular with a certain segment of voters. Not everyone, just enough to elect a president no one thought could ever be elected, who was loathed by the media, and who was outspent 2-to-1.
"Named for Virginia Dare, the first European born on U.S soil, VDARE promotes the novel idea that U.S. immigration policy should benefit Americans. (Obviously, that includes white, Hispanic, Asian and black Americans -- whom, by the way, mass immigration hurts the most.) Naturally, therefore, it has been designated a "white supremacist" website by the country's largest hate group, the Southern Poverty Law Center.". . .
Tulsi Gabbard: 'Power Elite' Will 'Silence & Cancel Anyone Who Dares Question' Biden
"Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) has warned that America's "power elite" will "silence and cancel" anybody "who dares challenge or question" the agenda of Joe Biden and the Democrats.
"Speaking to USA Today, Gabbard blasted the Biden administration for its attack on podcaster Joe Rogan.
"Gabbard warned that the Democrats' effort pointed "to a bigger issue," which is “the power elite trying to silence and cancel people who dare to question the establishment narrative.”

Wondering about Durham and Hillary?
This first is an in-depth commentary by Andrea Widberg:
Two intriguing points about the Durham allegations - American Thinker . . ."
However, with the Durham revelations, my guess is that the Democrats will offer Hillary up as a sacrificial lamb for the party. She'll be asked to take responsibility with the promise that she'll get no prison time. Instead, she'll just retire from the public eye, having taken one for the party and protected both the Sainted Barack Obama and the current White House occupant."The problem with this theory is that it's hard to see Hillary going down quietly. There's a
meme circulating that quotes Hillary saying that if she goes down, she'll take everyone else down with her. In fact, she never said that, but it's just the kind of thing she'd do.
"What I'm reminded of when I look at the potential fight between Hillary and Obama over culpability is the divorce of a power couple I knew. They were very, very rich, and if they'd cut the marital estate in half, each of them would still have been very, very rich. However, by the time of the divorce, they hated each other. Therefore, each was willing to risk having exposed horrible secrets about him- or herself if it meant he or she could publicize horrible secrets about the other. You can read about the divorce here." . . .
Donald Trump Was Right All Along: Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Was Behind the Russian Collusion Hoax. (substack.com) . . ."Durham’s report must be considered if Hillary Clinton is indeed making another run at the Presidency in 2024.
"Word has leaked out that considering Biden’s dismal performance as President and his equally dismal ratings; there’s no chance that Biden will run for reelection in 2024.
"Since Biden’s VP Kamala Harris is even more unpopular and more incompetent than Biden, Hillary sees a gigantic hole to the Democratic nomination in 2024 that she could run a freight train through.
"And if Trump is looking to enter the 2024 Presidential race, and it sure looks like that’s his plan, the fireworks will visibly be on display during their respective 2024 presidential campaigns.". . .

Ex-Director of National Intelligence claims Biden and Obama KNEW ABOUT Hillary campaign plot to hack Trump servers: 'Enough evidence in Durham's Russia probe to indict MULTIPLE people'
- John Ratcliffe told Special Counsel John Durham that there is 'enough evidence' to indict 'multiple people' connected to the origins of the Trump-Russia probe
- The former Director of National Intelligence met with Durham more than once
- Ratcliffe's pointed Durham to a declassified CIA memo of Clinton approving looking into Trump's Russia ties as a way of distracting from her email scandal
- The report was sent directly to then FBI Director James Comey and then-Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok
- New bombshell reports now reveal Clinton paid people to hack servers at Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign and White House servers following the election
- A poll taken before those reports came out show that now even Democrats want Clinton questioned over her role in the Russian secret server scandal
- 44% of party loyalists believed she should be interrogated last October, but the number jumped to 66% in a January polling
California's problems jump out after a road trip
I am not surprised at all how many have already pulled up stakes from California. History will look back on this time with a clearer lens than those living through the morass. I'm waiting for trucker power to get here and force us back to life. I hope it comes soon. They just need to watch out for all the potholes
American Thinker "I just returned from a solo trip that gave me a break from California's mask and vaccine mandates. I drove a lot through both Nevada and Idaho, spent five days in Idaho, and then made the return trip home. Leaving hadn't solved any problems, but I had been too angry to stay in the San Francisco Bay Area. The trip was illuminating — not just because it showed me a better world outside California, but because merely crossing into California reminded me how bad things are here.". . .
. . ."Driving further after that awful experience, I couldn't help contrast the consistently poor quality of the roadbeds with the 1,500 well tended out-of-state miles I drove. There was also the ubiquitous roadside garbage. Welcome home to California grunge — and this in a state where we pay a $0.70-a-gallon gas tax for highway maintenance, on top of high sales (10% or so depending on county) and income (top rate 12.3%) taxes. Is there anything this high tax state does right? Does all our tax money get sunk into teaching CRT, abetting homelessness, and promoting green energy?" . . .
Yowza: Joe Biden Reaches Blowout Territory in New Poll
Guy Benson "We'll review some of the state-level numbers in a moment, but first, a look at President Biden's overall standing nationally – and my goodness, the results are grim for Democrats. Take all of this with grains of salt, per usual. It's just one poll, the subsamples in each state are relatively small (though the survey was quite large), margins of error, etc. But if these data points are generally in the ballpark, the party in power could be looking at a beatdown of historic proportions later this year: ". . .
. . ."How does one earn a rating that dreadful in any state? By garnering less than 70 percent support within his own party, and polling at 12 percent among independents. That's how. Does anyone think Sen. Joe Manchin is the least bit intimidated by pressure campaigns from outside leftists demanding that he vote the Biden line? Meanwhile, let's look at the president's standing in some crucial Senate states in the 2022 cycle:". . .More...
Lawn signs for conservatives
"The sentiments on these signs range from outright lies, HATE HAS NO HOME HERE (say the Trump-haters), to tautological nonsense like LOVE IS LOVE and SCIENCE IS REAL.
"Seems to me it's high time for normal, hardworking, America-loving folks to start displaying some lawn signage of their own. The sentiments expressed on these signs should not signal virtue or moral superiority; their intent is merely to accurately reflect the real world, thereby causing pointy liberal heads to explode. Since the American left is so fond of vandalizing or destroying that with which they disagree, a large Doberman on a chain may be a necessary adjunct to such signs, depending upon where you live.
"Liberal lawn signs often begin with the phrase, IN THIS HOUSE, WE BELIEVE. To that I say, whaddaya mean, "we"? Since when does everyone in a family share the same beliefs? Don't any of these people have teenagers?
"So keep your lawn sign real and own it: IN MY HOUSE, I BELIEVE. A house, however filled with love and inclusivity as it may be, is not a democracy. The views on the lawn sign should be those of whoever is paying the mortgage. Dissenting members of the household will simply have to wait until they've bought their own home to share their views.
"After establishing ownership of your home and your beliefs, start your conservative sign's list of bromides with a bang:". . .More...
Khamenei, You Have a Friend
Watching America/ Published in Yisra’el Hayom
All this leads us to an unpleasant conclusion. The Biden administration is allied with Iran in everything related to its nuclear program. No agreement will prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, and the Biden administration will not impose any sanctions. On the contrary, the administration is working to defend Iran from all its opponents, as it did by removing the Houthis from the list of terrorist organizations and imposed sanctions on Egypt last week.
. . ."When Biden appointed Malley to manage the U.S. return to the nuclear agreement, there were those who claimed he did this to pacify the progressive left in the Democratic Party while he remained moderate. This claim does not square with the historical record.
"Since 1979, as a senator, then as vice president and today as president, Biden was and remains one of the clear supporters of the ayatollahs’ regime in Washington. During the American hostage crisis at the embassy in Tehran in 1979, Biden opposed any aggressive operation to free the hostages. His reaction to the 9/11 attacks was to call on the Bush administration to give $200 million to the regime in Tehran as a goodwill gesture.
"Biden was the architect of the American withdrawal from Iraq in 2011, something that, in fact, transferred control of the country to Iran. As vice president, he was an ardent supporter of the nuclear agreement, which paved Iran’s path to nuclear weapons by means of canceling sanctions imposed on the country, etc.
"When Prime Minister Naftali Bennett refused to meet with Malley during his visit to Israel, Biden reacted angrily and may have used the moment to break contact with Bennett for a number of months. Two weeks ago, three members of the American negotiations team resigned. The three, including Malley’s deputy, Richard Nephew, rejected Malley’s placatory approach with Iran and asserted that, in light of Iran’s nuclear advancement, the 2015 agreement was no longer relevant. According to The Wall Street Journal, the disagreement between Malley and Nephew reached Biden, who supported Malley’s position.". . .

Tulsi Gabbard Points Out the 'Biggest Threat' to U.S. Democracy
Tulsi Gabbard Points Out the 'Biggest Threat' to U.S. Democracy (townhall.com)
"For years the leftist media and Democrats have issued warnings about "threats" to American democracy and yet, much of it was projection.
"As reported over the weekend, Special Counsel John Durham confirmed the Clinton campaign hired a technology company to infiltrate servers at Trump Tower and while President Donald Trump was in the White House. In other words, they were spying.
"Former Democratic presidential nominee and U.S. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is sounding that alarm about true threats to American democracy and where they are coming from. The Durham investigation has shown that the biggest threat to our democracy is not some foreign country, but rather the Power Elite led by the likes of Hillary Clinton and her coconspirators in the mainstream media & security state who work to undermine our democracy from"

Trump tears into 'corrupt' media for IGNORING claim Hillary's campaign paid to spy on him |
. . .The reason the MSM can’t cover the story is that they would be reporting about themselves. . . Posted by: janjan
"The mainstream media is under fire again for ignoring the bombshell claims Hillary Clinton's campaign spied on Donald Trump while he was President - while they show no hesitation in heavy coverage of the discredited Steele dossier and allegations he was colluding with Russia,
"DailyMail.com found no links or references to the latest revelations by Special Counsel John Durham in his probe into the origins of the Russia investigation on the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS.
"The story has even been picked up global news organizations, including The Times of London, but has seen little in comparison to the wall-to-wall coverage of the so-called 'dirty dossier' that turned out to be Democrat-funded opposition research used as a basis for the FBI to surveil Trump campaign aide Carter Page.". . .
