Skateboarder - Rocker O'Rourke's latest stunt

 When listening to O'Rourke's rallies I note cheers coming from youthful voices

Man Busted Beto for 'Propaganda' While He Was Trying to Hijack Uvalde Presser – RedState  . . ."But while Beto was trying to interrupt the people dealing with tragedy, a man in the audience interrupted Beto in turn. Cody Ytuarte, a carpenter who was there for family affected by the shooting, was near O’Rourke when he began his outburst at the presser. According to the Huffington Post, Ytuarte responded to O’Rourke, “This is propaganda, bro. Get out of here. You’re trash, man.”. . .

Ytuarte left the Democrats because of their policies, including “division about race policies” that drove him away.

  . “Has [gun control] worked in Chicago, New York, or Washington, which have some of our highest gun murder rates despite their draconian restrictions on firearms ownership?”

  "Gun control advocated by leftist polities is the exact opposite of an anti-crime policy. Hence leftist politicos, such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, are responsible for the exploding crime rate. By now, this is no longer surprising.

  "Consider these bizarre leftist policies:

  — Confiscation of guns from honest citizens.
  — Massive release of murderous criminals.
  — Open borders to flood the country with thugs.
  — Allegiance with MS-13 gangs and their ilk.
  — A blizzard of illicit drugs like fentanyl.
  — Admittance of murderous thugs.

  "A recent example of the latter is the would-be assassins who were caught at the border. Their target, as it happens, was ex-president G. W. Bush.

  "The Left is in love with murderous criminals. So the open borders outrage should come as no surprise whatsoever. The death toll already exceeds 100,000 victims. The Democrat mob has blood on its hands."

 CBS reporter on scene describes O’Rourke’s shameless stunt at Abbott presser: ‘Very clearly staged’ (bizpacreview.com) . . ."Well, the current Democratic candidate for Texas governor probably hopes you’ve forgotten it. After all, he eventually admitted that the pretentious cover and accompanying interview did much to torpedo his absurd dreams of occupying the Oval Office. But it suggests a pattern of ostentatious political stunts, and O’Rourke apparently hasn’t learned his lesson.

"On Wednesday afternoon, he interrupted Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s press conference on the Uvalde school shooting to shout and rave at those assembled. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who was present, told him he was “out of line and an embarrassment,” and Sen. Ted Cruz told him to “sit down.”

"O’Rourke’s stunt was pretty universally panned, and now a CBS News reporter is confirming that it certainly appeared he had staged the interruption.

"CBS News’ Janet Shamlian was present at the presser and noted that it appeared as if O’Rourke had sent in “seat holders” to occupy some chairs in the front row. She noticed that they quickly vacated them when O’Rourke showed up to make a spectacle of himself.". . .

. . ."Shamlian continued: “So they were seat holders for him. And then he sat down, so his presence wasn’t really noticed in the 15 or 20 minutes that people were gathering inside because he was not in the room. So this seems something very clearly staged by Beto O’Rourke and his campaign wanting to confront the governor at this moment.”

"O’Rourke’s stunt is unlikely to win him many admirers, and his grandstanding during a somber event was tasteless in the extreme.". . .

Texas Border School District Closes After AK-47, Kill List Found in Suspect’s Home

 

Breitbart  "A school district in South Texas shut down campuses for the remainder of this week after police discovered an AK-47 and an apparent kill list in a suspect’s home.

"The Donna Independent School District shut down campuses after receiving what they are calling a “credible threat”:

In light of the recent events and in an abundance of caution, we will be canceling school district-wide classes and staff will work from home. The safety and security of our students & staff are our first priority. Classes will resume on Tuesday morning.

"The Monitor first reported the issue, which quoted an unnamed official stating that authorities had found an AK-47 and a list of students at the home of a “suspect.” The local newspaper claimed there were two or three suspects behind the plot to carry out a shooting at one of the Donna ISD schools. It remains unclear if the suspects are students.

"The discovery of the plot comes days after an 18-year-old killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary in Uvalde Texas, Breitbart Texas reported. The shooting has pushed several school districts in Texas to heighten their awareness.". . .

Kelleyann Conway, wife of George Conway, wife abuser

She made history not only without the support of her spouse but despite a husband who was opposing her at every turn. 

 Don Surber  "She was a beauty queen who built a successful business. Later she became the first woman to elect a president as a campaign manager.

"Her husband became a jealous blob who tried to publicly humiliate her and undercut her at every turn.

"Now Kellyanne Conway has written about her abusive spouse in a memoir, Here's the Deal.

Her situation was best summed up in this paragraph: "I had two men in my life. One was my husband. One was my boss, who happened to be president of the United States. One of those men was defending me. And it wasn't George Conway. It was Donald Trump."

"She was and is a strong woman. Georgie Boy couldn't take it. A real man would be proud and supportive of his wife. Chumbawamba Conway was a coward. The Washington Post enabled his misogyny by publishing his screeds about the president which were really aimed at his wife, Kellyanne. Cable TV made Conway a star, the Costanza of Washington.

"Divorce was not the answer because they are Catholic. He had her trapped. All of Washington cheered on his monstrous abuse of his wife. And of course, they laughed and mocked him behind his back because his actions showed what a loser he is, seeking approval of people who will never respect him. How could they? Look at how he treated his wife.

"But all the liberal talk about feminism is baloney because here was a trailblazer -- a heroine who unlike Hillary definitely did not get to where she was by marriage -- whom the denizens of DC mocked. There are no accolades in their lifetimes for some of the brave.

Has there ever been a more cruel, tone-deaf president?

The Democrats are essentially the ultra-MAPA party. "Make America Poor Again" would be an appropriate slogan. If they ran on that slogan they would finally be telling the truth instead of spreading misinformation to interfere in elections. Jack Hellner

Biden's speech after the Buffalo mass shooting was as obscene as his speech in the wake of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas was last night.

Expectedly, Biden politicizes the Uvalde tragedy for his agenda - American Thinker

"In the aftermath of the Uvalde tragedy, Biden asked, “When in God's name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby and gun manufacturers?”

"So I have some questions for Biden.

"When in God's name are we going to stand up to prosecutors, supported by George Soros, who put career criminals back on the street? What about standing up to politicians who support the elimination of the bail system for violent perpetrators? What about judges who respond to heinous crimes with either soft or no sentence? How many times will law enforcement and mental health officials keep quiet and remain inactive as unstable people with known homicidal delusions are free to roam?". . .

Warning: Biden Is Already Plotting To Restart His  ‘Disinformation Board’  – Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)  . . ."The White House has also been completely unapologetic about creating the board, calling criticism of it “smears leveled by bad-faith, right-wing actors.”

Then there’s the fact that the administration has shown a troubling willingness, if not eagerness, to trample on free speech. (See, for example, our January editorial “The Murdering of Free Speech In America,” in which we noted that Biden has openly tried to enlist Big Tech in its censorship campaign.)"

Biden's appalling response to the tragedy in Texas By Victor Davis Hanson 

"It is spitting on graves to go on a crude political rant as the response to the Uvalde tragedy.  For Biden, it's politics first, last, and always, and that is why he is a political animal of the lowest kind.  Tucker Carlson, after listening to Biden's statement, summed up perfectly just how contemptible Biden is:

Biden’s Buffalo Speech Was the Speech of an Indecent Man › American Greatness (amgreatness.com) 

 9,941 black Americans were killed in 2020. Nearly all of them were killed by other black people. But to Biden, his party, and the corporate left-wing media, those black lives don't matter. At all.

. . ." With these examples, Biden went to a grieving black community to lie to them in order to stir up anger in them about the alleged scourge of white supremacist violence in this country.

"At least half of this country knows why Biden did this.

"First, to focus Americans’ attention on “white supremacy” rather than on the inflation, looming recession, and a food and energy crisis he and his party have created with their policies.

"Second, to keep black Americans voting Democrat by saying to them, in effect: “You need protection from your fellow hate-filled Americans; we Democrats are your protectors.' ”

Mass Shooting Facts to Shut Down Your Liberal Sister and Her Annoying, Man-Bunned, Non-Binary 'Boy' Friend at Your Memorial Day BBQ

But getting guns out of America is like trying to get pee out of a pool. It can’t be done. There isn’t a “guns be gone” button to push. They are already here, and besides, 99.999999% of our guns don’t take lives. Also, guns are like drugs; if you make them illegal, people with just buy them illegally. Almost every gun-toting criminal got their gats illegally. I assure you there is already a flourishing industry of illegal gun sales in all of our major cities.

  PJ Media  "I bet Don Lemon only prays when there is a mass shooting. “Please, God, let the gunman be white.”

"The lefty sitzpinkler at CNN came up with snake eyes yesterday because the shooter is Hispanic. That changes the narrative for the left. Here is their playbook:

• When the shooter is white, the problem is “white supremacy.” White people are evil and here is the proof.
• When the shooter is a minority, blame easy access to guns, usually by attacking the NRA, which is run by “selfish, conservative, white, gun nuts.” The race of the shooter has nothing to do with it. Bury the story and move along.

So, now the harridans from The View have their show prep for the next few days: go after the “gun lobby,” Republican politicians, and those big, scary “assault rifles,” or as they now call them, “weapons of war.”

Anyone engaging in this sort of boring drivel doesn’t really want to stop the problem of mass shootings. They want to take our guns and have Republicans voted out. Gun-grabbers have no problem standing on the bodies of dead people, even kids, to get what they want.

George Bush assassination plot 'precisely' the concern we had with Biden's open border policies: Rep. Katko

But those people can be Democrat voters!

  Fox News  "The alleged plot to assassinate former President George W. Bush is "precisely" what critics of President Biden's open border policies have been warning about, one Republican lawmaker told Fox News on Tuesday.

" 'This is precisely the concern we had with the open border policies of the Biden administration. For the first year or so, we were fighting with them tooth and nail to try and get information about the number of terrorists that were coming across the border on the terror watch list that had been seized," Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., who serves as ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, said on "The Story." 

" 'They wouldn’t give it to us. They finally gave it to us, and now we know there’s a plot to assassinate a former president, and it was going to be carried out by smuggling people across the southern border.". . .

Middle Easterners Smuggled Into U.S. Through Mexico | Judicial Watch  "Illustrating the national security threat created by failing to protect the southern border, a Mexican human smuggling operation has helped Iraqis and other Middle Eastern individuals sneak into the United States through the Rio Grande for more than a year.

"Based in Chaparral New Mexico, the lucrative smuggling ring initially sneaked Mexicans and central Americans across the U.S. border but operators took on Middle Eastern customers more than a year ago because they paid thousands more to make it north.

Is Joe Biden about to get Al Caponed?

 Is Joe Biden about to get Al Caponed? – Bookworm Room

The facts are a little different because Al Capone was nailed for evading taxes, but Biden’s tax returns suggest the possibility of serious corruption.

. . ."In Biden’s case, it appears that he reported all his income to the IRS. The problem, as the Daily Mail discovered, is that the origin of $5.2 million of that income is completely mysterious:

[T]he president’s financial filings reveal that he declared almost $7 million more income on his tax returns than he did on his government transparency reports, an analysis by DailyMail.com of the president’s financial records shows.

Some of that difference can be accounted for with salaries earned by First Lady Jill Biden and other sums not required on his reports – but still leaves $5.2 million earned by Joe’s company and not listed on his transparency reports.

The ‘missing millions’ – combined with emails on Hunter’s abandoned laptop suggesting Joe would have a 10% share in Hunter’s blockbuster deal with the Chinese – raise a troubling question: did Joe Biden receive money from the foreign venture?

"It’s very clear that Biden was rolling in dough—so much so that, as some of the documents show, he was able to pay Hunter’s legal bills in 2018, which totaled $737,130.61. Of that gigantic sum, $28,000 was attributed to “restructuring” Hunter’s joint venture with the Bank of China, owned by the Chinese government (aka the Chinese Communist Party).". . .

Michelle Malkin: Sabotaging America’s military from within

In a sane and self-respecting sovereign nation, wise, brave, God-fearing, independent-minded warriors like USAFA cadet Nathan Suess, Navy Lt. Col. Bill Moseley and military defense lawyer R. Davis Younts would be celebrated and promoted, not spurned. But in woke, broke America, . . .

 Michelle Malkin   "A year ago this month, a comparison of military recruitment ads from China, Russia and the U.S. went viral on social media. Our foreign competitors wooed their potential enlistees with muscular appeals to national pride and protection of the traditional nuclear family. A U.S. Army promotional campaign, by contrast, featured a pastel-hued cartoon depiction of a female soldier named “Emma” who marched in a gay pride parade with her two mothers and became a soldier to “shatter some stereotypes.”

"Wokeness is a terminal cancer in our armed forces, eroding the foundational bones of its honor-bound institutions and ravaging the core values of generations of America’s frontline fighters. Integrity, honor, personal courage, excellence and commitment to truth have been subjugated to the progressive false gods of diversity, equity and inclusion. Who needs outside threats to our troops when the most lethal saboteurs are embedded inside the bowels of our own Pentagon and service academies?

" 'Diversity,” of course, is exclusively defined by selective skin color and politically correct pronouns. “Equity” is a farce if you are white, male, Christian and patriotic. “Inclusion” is a grand illusion. Nowhere are these toxic realities more clearly illustrated than in the American military bureaucracy’s vindictive witch hunt against our best and brightest soldiers, Marines, sailors, airmen and Coasties who have resisted the COVID-19 jab.

" 'I’m frustrated,” Air Force Academy cadet Nathan Suess told me on Monday in Colorado Springs, Colorado, as he braced for punishment and retaliation during graduation week.

'You are doing nothing': O'Rourke accosts Abbott at press conference on shooting

"The morons that are praising Beto for disrupting the meeting are the same ones that said parents that disrupt school board meetings are domestic terrorists." Tex Aggie

 POLITICO  "Texas Democrat Beto O’Rourke confronted Gov. Greg Abbott at a press conference on Wednesday, accusing the governor of inaction on gun violence in the wake of a mass shooting at an elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead.

"Abbott, flanked by law enforcement officers and fellow Republican lawmakers, had just wrapped up giving an update on the Uvalde, Texas, shooting Wednesday afternoon — in which he said mental health was the root cause of the deadly event — when O’Rourke approached the stage.

“ 'Governor Abbott, I have to say something,” O’Rourke, who is running for the Democratic nomination to challenge Abbott in November’s midterm elections, said. “The time to stop the next shooting is right now and you are doing nothing.”

"The totality of O’Rourke’s remarks were difficult to hear as he was shouted down by those on stage who were speaking into microphones. Among those attempting to speak over O’Rourke was Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a Republican, who told the former El Paso congressman to “sit down” and that he was “an embarrassment.”

Here are the nutcases who believe in 'replacement'

On MSNBC, they’re constantly sneering about “old white men” and celebrating the “browning of America.” A group called Battleground Texas boasts about flipping that deep red state to the Democrats — simply by getting more Hispanics to vote. Blogs are giddily titled, “The Irrelevant South” (“the traditional white South — socially and economically conservative — is no longer relevant in national politics”). MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid tweets that she is “giddy” watching “all the bitter old white guys” as Ketanji Brown Jackson “makes history.” 

 Ann Coulter  "The “Great Replacement Theory” (GRT) has taken the media by storm! It seems that the white racist who shot up a grocery store full of black people last weekend cited GRT in his 180-page “manifesto.”

"First of all, journalists need to understand that GRT is only a theory taught in advanced law school seminars. It is not something designed for indoctrination of mass audiences of young people.

"So what is GRT? The New York Times describes it thus:

" '[T]he notion that Western elites, sometimes manipulated by Jews, want to ‘replace’ and disempower white Americans.” (You want a conspiracy theory about a secretive cabal of Jews? Check out the Times’ series of articles on “neoconservatives” back in the early 2000s.)

"But then — just as every argument about abortion suddenly becomes an argument about contraception — a few paragraphs later, the crackpot theory jumps from a Jewish cabal replacing whites with blacks … to the idea that Democrats are using immigration “for electoral gains.”

"Wow, that is nuts! Where’d anybody get that idea?

"Oh yeah — from liberals.

"Here’s Democratic consultant Patrick Reddy in 1998:

" 'The 1965 Immigration Reform Act promoted by President Kennedy, drafted by Attorney General Robert Kennedy, and pushed through the Senate by Ted Kennedy has resulted in a wave of immigration from the Third World that should shift the nation in a more liberal direction within a generation. It will go down as the Kennedy family’s greatest gift to the Democratic Party.' ”

" (Well, sure, if you want to totally overlook skirt-chasing and pill-popping.)..."

They're Replacing YOU, Black America (townhall.com)     "Liberals are screwing over African Americans again, sublimely confident that whatever they do, Democrats will never get less than 90% of the black vote.

"In the Buffalo, New York, mass shooting 10 days ago, 18-year-old Payton S. Gendron drove 200 miles to a grocery store jam-packed with the descendants of American slaves and gunned down as many people as he could. But instead of this being an anti-black thing, the media have decided, no, it's an anti-immigrant thing, based on the shooter's belief in the "great replacement theory," which holds that elites are deliberately replacing historic Americans with immigrants." . . .

'For God’s sake …': Joe Biden and the Texas tragedy - American Thinker  "For God’s sake, Mister President, don’t turn this tragedy into cheap political capital.

"I just watched President Joe Biden take a stab at playing the role of America’s “mourner in chief,” a role his Democratic predecessor, Bill Clinton, managed quite well.  That may, in fact, have been the only thing Clinton did which actually helped the country.  For all his many failings, Clinton knew the importance of helping people cope with tragedy.

"Unfortunately, Joe Biden didn’t crib this page from Bill Clinton’s playbook. He made it partisan fairly quickly, blaming the tragedy on the "gun lobby" and "gun manufacturers."

"Yet he started out well. As a man who’s lost two children, he has earned the right to let America know what the parents of those precious children must be feeling, and in doing so, give us moral guidance as we all come to terms with this most senseless of tragedies.  As a man who has lost a child – and my son’s mother – to two different and senseless tragedies, I deeply appreciate this role as taken by presidents of both parties, men who know how to help those suffering from a loss they can never overcome.

Southern Baptists to Release List of Ministers Accused of Sexual Abuse

 The New York Times (nytimes.com)  "Leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention announced Tuesday that they were preparing to release a secretly maintained list of hundreds of ministers and church workers they say are credibly accused of sexual abuse.

"The existence of the list was revealed Sunday in a bombshell report on the denomination’s handling of sexual abuse over the past two decades. The report, produced by a third-party investigator and totaling almost 300 pages, alleges that the denomination’s top leaders had suppressed reports of sexual abuse, opposed proposals for reform, and denigrated and discouraged abuse victims who approached them for help.

"One of the report’s most shocking revelations was the existence of an internal list of 703 people suspected of abuse, compiled by an employee of the denomination’s executive committee, its national leadership body.

"Survivors of sexual abuse in Southern Baptist churches and seminaries had pressed the denomination for years to compile and publicize a list of known offenders. Leaders insisted that because of its decentralized structure they had no ability to take action.". . .
