State-sanctioned protest Only lefties are permitted to rally in Washington, DC.

  Don Surber (substack.com)

How different it was from January 6’s protest inside the Capitol. Not only did the FBI sweep everyone up but it used facial recognition to get people who were outside the capitol. 

The New York Post reported, “A swarm of Pro-Palestinian supporters shouted ‘f–k Joe Biden’ as they nearly ripped down a reinforced fence outside the White House during a charged protest Saturday night.

“Non-essential personnel were evacuated from the area as a precaution as the aggressive demonstration ramped up, the Secret Service confirmed.

“Video shows the crowd shaking the fence so viciously that a section of it became partially dislodged while a horde of Secret Service police pushed back to keep the ralliers from entering the grounds.”

"Fox reported, “The demonstrators were heard chanting [chanted], ‘Ceasefire Now’ and ‘Free, Free Palestine,’ with many waving Palestinian flags. ‘Yemen, Yemen make us proud / Turn another ship around,’ was also recited at the demonstration, hours after strikes were launched against the Houthis in Yemen.”

"No one was sent to jail to face 22 years in prison. No police officer shot and killed anyone. No one in the press called it an insurrection because this was state-sanctioned psy-ops as the deep state staged the event to show widespread support for changing federal policy.. . ."

Nikki Haley fires back at MSNBC's Joy Reid: 'We've had enough' of dividing people on race

MSM   I appreciate Nikki, but we must be aware of this:

. . ."So, while the former governor touts her war chest at this point in the game heading into New Hampshire, it’s all filled with cash from leftists. Carlson also pointed out why Haley isn’t a conservative, citing the support for the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020 and the lackluster support for border security as prime examples. Americans want the border secure and the flow of illegal immigration to be severely reduced if not stopped altogether. At the Aspen Institute, Haley said we needed to stop being mean to illegals."   Matt Vespa; Townhall

 "Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley fired back at MSNBC's Joy Reid, claiming they live in "different" Americas after the far-left host doubted her chances of prevailing in the GOP primaries because of her skin color. 

"Haley was asked about Reid's comments during "Fox & Friends" and said she remains confident she can prevail despite losing the Iowa caucuses and coming in third place behind both Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. 

" 'Joy Reid lives in a different America than I do," Haley told Brian Kilmeade Tuesday. "I mean, yes, I'm a brown girl that grew up in a small rural town in South Carolina who became the first female minority governor in history, who became a U.N. ambassador and who is now running for president. If that's not the American dream, I don't know what is."

" 'You can sit there and give me all the reasons why you think I can't do this. I will continue to defy everybody on why we can do this, and we will get it done," she continued. 

"Reid accused Republicans of being an "anti-immigrant" party, and that's why she "can't picture" Haley becoming the GOP nominee in 2024." 

Joy has long been a racialist, bent on a race war, I have to say.

Babylon Bee Receives Backlash After ‘Racist’ Joke About Vivek Ramaswamy Running ‘White House 7-Eleven’

 MSN (msn.com)  Trump Promises Vivek An Administration Position Running The White House 7-Eleven | Babylon Bee   . . ."When questioned, Trump was horrified at the accusations that any kind of racial stereotyping played into his selection of Ramaswamy. "I wanted to offer the job to DeSantis, frankly, but he's too short to see over the little hot dog display."

"Conservative comedy website “The Babylon Bee” received backlash on Tuesday after it published a parody news article about Vivek Ramaswamy being offered “a cabinet position running the White House 7-Eleven convenience store.”

"After Ramaswamy dropped out of the Republican presidential race and endorsed former President Donald Trump, the Babylon Bee published an article titled, “Trump Promises Vivek An Administration Position Running The White House 7-Eleven,” which joked that Ramaswamy had accepted the “olive branch” position from Trump.

"The parody article included a fake quote of “Trump” saying, “I’ve always said Vimbik Rumpsalami was a great man, one of the greatest men, to be honest… That’s why I’ve asked Rikki-Tikki-Tavi if he would accept the honor of running the White House 7-Eleven in the West Wing.”

"While many social media users were amused by the post, which received more than 10,000 likes, others accused the Babylon Bee of racism and said it had gone too far."

. . ."The Blaze host Steve Deace called the joke “one of the most brutal headlines these guys have ever done,” while conservative cartoonist George Alexopoulos reacted simply, “Yikes.”

"In response to the criticism, Babylon Bee editor-in-chief Kyle Mann doubled down on the joke, tweeting, “Too far, guys thank you come again” – a reference to the Indian Kwik-E-Mart owner Apu Nahasapeemapetilon from The Simpsons.

"The Babylon Bee is no stranger to controversy, and in March 2023, the website even came under fire from former President Trump himself.

"After records showed that Trump’s rival Ron DeSantis had paid the Babylon Bee $21,500, Trump called the website “a non-entity” and argued, “You don’t spend that much money on The Babylon Bee if you’re running for Governor, in fact, you don’t spend money on The Babylon Bee if you’re running for anything.' ” Meanwhile, Joe does Joe: 1. Biden on Somalia

Tucker Carlson Breaks Down The Iowa Result and the Aspirations of Democrats to Elevate Nikki Haley

  The Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com)

"Tucker Carlson gives his take on the results of the Iowa caucus and the next primary election which takes place in New Hampshire.  Carlson accurately outlines the goals and aspirations of the professional political class, and the multinational corporate donors, who are intending to elevate Nikki Haley as the desperate last-ditch effort to block Donald Trump.  WATCH:



"We further determined that the noose was not in place when the October 2019 race weekend began, but was created at some point during that weekend. Given that timing and the garage access policies and procedures at the time, we were unfortunately unable to determine with any certainty who tied this rope in this manner or why it was done.

If this is it, that ain't no serpentine belt.


Did everyone forget Nikki Haley fell for the Bubba Wallace hoax? - Washington Examiner    
. . ."As such, no one should forget Haley’s response to that incident. It was the kind of weak reply, succumbing to a left-wing narrative that many Republican voters have grown tired of over the years. At a time when she could have shown the country how principled, strong, and tough she was, Haley bought the Left’s narrative, caved, and rushed to do her best CNN or MSNBC anchor impression.

"Republican voters want a candidate who will not surrender to the Left on cultural topics. There had been a string of relatively recent hate crime hoaxes at the time (i.e., Jussie Smollett, Covington Catholic, etc.), and the fact she didn’t have the courage or common sense to avoid a rush to judgment should raise many red flags for voters. It showed that, under pressure, Haley seems to be little more than a performative politician. And, more often than not, on cultural topics, when push comes to shove, Nikki Haley will kneel to Democrats instead of standing for Republicans." . . .



Joy Reid sparks anger after saying white Christians are overrepresented in Iowa and Trump is so successful because they believe he will 'return' America to them

 Reid is one bitter woman and a real piece of work. TD

Daily Mail Online  . . ."Reid added: 'They’re not trying to convince people and win people over through politics. What they’re saying is, "we own this country, and everyone will bow down to us".'

"At another point in MSNBC's coverage, Reid claimed not only did white Christian voters in Iowa reject Ramaswamy because of his race, but also Nikki Haley.

" 'The elephant in the room is she is still a brown lady who has to try to win in a party that is deeply anti-immigrant and accepts the notion that you can say immigrants a poisoning the blood of our country,' she said.

"Trump last month, in one of his most controversial speeches, used what his opponents called Nazi ideology when discussing the migrant crisis.

" 'They're poisoning the blood of our country. They're coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world,' he said.

" 'Reid referred to Trump questioning whether Haley, whose parents are Indian immigrants, was even born in the US and therefore eligible to be president.

" 'I don't care how much the donor class likes her... it's still a challenge, I don't see how she becomes the nominee of that party with Donald Trump still around, I can't picture it happening,' she said.

" 'Ron DeSantis' only argument for staying in it is he's the white guy, that he can still make the appeal to white people.'

The hits keep coming: meet the DEI tranny pilot hijacking United with no survivors.

  Revolver News

"Doesn’t it feel like United Airlines is becoming the ‘Bud Light’ of air travel? Their recent drive towards Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) seems heavily focused on transvestites, cross-dressers, and other assorted freaks. But unlike Bud Light, which was “merely” cynically trying to sell beer, United Airlines is potentially putting people’s lives in danger with their Drag Queen Flying Hour.

"You may have heard by now, but the CEO of United Airlines enjoys cross-dressing as a woman. Revolver covered this disturbing story.

Revolver:

Have you noticed? The US aviation industry is crashing, both literally and figuratively. It’s like we’re watching the whole airline sector fall apart at the seams: pilots passing away out of the blue, passengers turning flights into WWE-style brawls, doors and windows blowing off mid-flight, and air traffic controllers resorting to Google for on-the-spot training. And when it seems things couldn’t get stranger, there’s the case of the freaky guy leading United Airlines.

Instead of prioritizing essentials like safety and skills, the CEO at United appears to be more concerned with his false eyelashes and jumbo nylons. Think we are joking? We wish we were, folks.    More, including photos Crash Landing: The Inside Scoop About How Covid and Affirmative Action Policy Gutted Aviation Safety

'We Got a Bunch of Dead Robots Out Here'—Tesla Charging Stations Freeze in Chicago

  RedState

"If you watched any NFL football action over the weekend, you know that much of the country is in a cold spell. A Bills game in Buffalo, NY, had to be postponed because of a huge storm, while in Kansas City, the Chiefs took on the Dolphins in the coldest game in Arrowhead Stadium history.

"But if you live in the Chicago area and drive an electric vehicle, you might have had a tough go of it because Tesla battery chargers reportedly froze and left motorists unable to power up. The deep freeze turned public charging stations into “car graveyards,” according to a Chi-town Fox affiliate.

"Nothing. No juice. Still on zero percent," said Tyler Beard, who has been trying to recharge his Tesla at an Oak Brook Tesla supercharging station since Sunday afternoon. "And this is like three hours being out here after being out here three hours yesterday."

Beard was among the dozens of Tesla owners trying desperately to power up their cars at the Tesla supercharging station in Oak Brook. It was a scene mirrored with long lines and abandoned cars at scores of other charging stations around the Chicago area.

"This is crazy. It’s a disaster. Seriously," said Tesla owner Chalis Mizelle.

"This social media poster said he experienced problems in Auburn Hills, and I’m assuming he means in Michigan:

"One annoyed driver said, "We got a bunch of dead robots out here." But while frozen Tesla chargers might induce snickers from some people, one stranded passenger was not amused:

But it was no laughing matter to people like Kevin Sumrak, who landed at O’Hare on Sunday night to find his Tesla dead.

Sumlak was forced to hire a flatbed tow truck to try to find a working charging station.

"Frozen chargers aren't the only issue that EVs face in cold weather -- the batteries also need more time to charge:" . . .  More here at The Tunnel Wall

Chicago becomes a ‘graveyard’ littered with corpses of ‘dead robots’ - American Thinker

E.V. buyers, especially if they live in an area prone to bitter winters, aren’t making intelligent, logical, or informed decisions when they opt for a battery-powered car, so it should come as no surprise completely when that choice yields “disaster.” Like grapes come not from thorns, nor figs from thistle, you reap what you sow, and sowing stupidity never reaps common sense; prioritizing the scoring of virtue-signaling points over wisdom has painful consequences, but they’re getting exactly what they deserve.

Joy Reid’s Racist, Bigoted Rant Against White Christians

 Joy Reid's Racist, Bigoted Rant Against White Christians: They're "Overrepresented" in America - LifeNews.com


"The doors had not yet closed at caucus locations across the state of Iowa, but MSNBC had already entered into the “maligning the voters” portion of the program. Joy Reid, the network’s flagship racebaiter, decided that this was a good opportunity to dump on white evangelicals voting for Donald Trump." . . .

"It bears noting that Reid opened the show by speaking apologetically about having to work on the holiday commemorating the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who devoted his life to the proposition that we are all children of God, and whose famous line of his most famous speech is about his aspiration that his 4 little children one day be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

"Thus, Reid cites the author of such works as The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy, The End of White Christian America, Progressive and Religious, Liberalism’s Troubled Search for Equality,  and White Too Long. Talk about confirmation bias.

"Reid’s statements say more about MSNBC than they do about whites, whether evangelical or otherwise. Recall that this was the same person who speculated not too long ago, without evidence, that Harvard ousted serial plagiarist Claudine Gay so that white men could run the institution once again.

"Such bitter race essentialism, disguised as political analysis, can only serve to further inflame our discourse and exacerbate racial polarization. That’s the exact opposite of Martin Luther King’s message, for which he ultimately gave his life."

The unbridled racism of Joy Reid - Washington Examiner  November 18, 2021

"I am not sure how it is possible, but radical, far-left talk show host Joy Reid gets away with exhibiting some of the most horrific racist rhetoric in media. She consistently makes baseless accusations predicated on people’s skin color — particularly white skin color. In an era of politics that allegedly strives for racial equality, Reid does everything she can to remain divisive and bigoted. This week, Reid continued her assault on racial harmony by viciously attacking Kyle Rittenhouse crying during his testimony as “white tears.”. . .

In the past several weeks, Reid has upped her usual disdain for white people by using the bigoted and offensive terms “missing white woman syndrome” and “white tears.” Reid has an uncanny ability to target white people and specifically focus on their skin color. She is obsessed with white people.

 No Mainstream 'Journalist' Is More Racist Than MSNBC's Joy Reid – PJ Media    . . ."At some point, might Comcast decide anti-white racism is not something to subsidize and pull the plug on Reid, as they did with the execrable Keith Olbermann a decade ago? Much of her odiousness, sadly, reminds me of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. Constantly blaming all the world’s ills on one group of people — effectively vilifying them — should not be tolerated by MSNBC.

"On Monday, before Reid’s Tuesday racism, Miranda Devine had a dynamite New York Post piece in which she reminded everyone, “This is a woman on a seven-figure salary who went to Harvard and has more elite privilege in her little finger than the 17-year-old son of a single mother who was in Kenosha working as a lifeguard when all hell broke loose in the form of BLM-Antifa riots in August 2020. Yet Reid continually plays the victim and makes her living punching down at white people less fortunate than she is." . . .

 "That Was One Evil Woman": Joy Reid's Ex-Colleagues | Frontpage Mag  ..."Andre Eggelletion, former lead host of the morning show with Reid, recently spoke out about her for the first time in more than a decade, saying Reid created “the most toxic work environment I’ve ever experienced” and threatened him with violence.

“ 'It was a very unhealthy work environment because of her attitude. She attacked me on a constant basis while I was there. I was even once threatened with physical violence during a break with her,” he revealed to Fox News.

"The incident was corroborated by Lee Michaels, then-national program director for Syndication One, a network of radio stations of Urban One (Radio One back then) that owned WTPS.

“ 'It absolutely happened – 100 percent,” he told Fox News, noting that he had to put in a lot of effort to convince Eggelletion not to quit over Reid’s conduct.

“I do believe she’s not telling the truth about who that person [who wrote the blog posts] was. Maybe she has changed, but back then, that was one evil woman,” Eggelletion said.

"I’ve cut this down quite a bit because there’s really not much here. Except the unsurprising revelation that working with Joy Reid wouldn’t be much fun.

"The real question is why does MSNBC keep covering for Reid? She’s not talented or charismatic. She doesn’t draw much of a feeling. The lefty network has shed plenty of talent. And most of that talent was more talented than her.

"So why?

"Earlier media reports were touting Reid’s ratings. But after her hacking claims, they dropped again. And when a network is betting hard on Joy Reid, to the extent of ignoring this kind of thing, it must be desperate". . .

Lawfare Against Trump Is Running Out of Gas

Victor Davis Hanson  
If the Department of Justice really wishes to prosecute insurrection, then it should concentrate on 120 days of arson, looting, killing, and violent protests that destroyed $2 billion in property, led to over 35 deaths, injured 1,500 law enforcement officers, and saw a federal courthouse, a police precinct, and a historic church torched by protestors, months of violent chaos planned and orchestrated by Antifa and Black Lives Matter, and enabled by leftwing inert mayors and governors.

"We should dispense with the tired narrative that four conscientious state and federal prosecutors—independently and without contact with the Biden White House or the radical Democrats in Congress—all came to the same disinterested conclusions that Donald Trump should be indicted for various crimes and put on trial during the campaign season of 2024.
"The prosecutors began accelerating their indictments only once Trump started to lead incumbent Joe Biden by sizable margins in head-to-head polls. Moreover, had Trump not run for the presidency, or had he been of the same party as most of the four prosecutors, he would have never been indicted by any of them.
"Yet now they are in a doom loop of discovering that the more they seek to rush to judgment before the election and gag Trump from speaking publicly about these star-chamber proceedings, the more he rises in the polls.
"In truth, each succeeding cycle of corrupt leftwing lawfare that ends in failure—the Russian collusion hoax, the weaponized first impeachment, trying ex-president Trump in the Senate as a private citizen, the laptop disinformation set-up, the Alfa bank ping caper, the pathetic attempt to erase Trump from state ballots, and the unfolding Fani Willis moral debacle—does not return things to zero.
"Rather, they serve as force multipliers for each other. Each overreach geometrically increases the dangers to democracy, ever more turns the public off, and ironically cascades sympathy and poll numbers for the very target of their paranoias.
"Some of the prosecutors have colluded with White House lawyers and congressional liaisons. Some had run for office, offering campaign promises to get Trump convicted for something or other." . . .


Liberal Media SUPPRESS Pro-Hamas Insurrection at the White House

 Newsbusters  "If an insurrection happened and no one reported on it, did it really happen? Can the perpetrators of violence escape accountability if it escaped the notice of the corporate media? These questions were put to the test as the corporate media conducted a virtual blackout of Saturday night’s violent protests outside the White House.

"Here’s a succinct recap as seen on Sunday’s edition of The Big Weekend Show on Fox News:. . .

"As for CNN, they went out of their way to suppress news of the riots. Afternoon coverage ran with a daytime video package of the D.C. protest filed by correspondent Gabe Cohen. 

"Jim Acosta did go live with brief reports of the night-time confrontations along the security fence, with reporting from Priscilla Alvarez. But once Acosta went off the air, CNN went back to the Gabe Cohen daytime package. The scary stuff disappeared.

"To recap: the media went out of their way to avoid covering a violent pro-Hamas protest at the White House. Reasonable persons may conclude that, by blacking out Saturday night’s events, they actively participated in an insurrection. Paging Merrick Garland. 

Biden Warnings to Iran: Not Safe or Effective

  HotAir  

Will Biden respond, or will he treat red lines as Obama did? Even if Biden strikes back, he bears responsibility for allowing things to get this far. Thousands of people are dying in the Middle East because Iran has felt confident about their ability to act with impunity. So far, their confidence has been warranted. 

"Iran is in a proxy war with the United States, and inching ever closer to directly attacking the US.

"The proxy war is not new, but it has escalated dramatically since the October 7th Hamas massacre in Israel. There have been over 100 attacks on Americans and American assets, and as John wrote earlier, the Houthis attacked and hit a US ship in the Red Sea, and Iran fired missiles into Iraq either at or near the US Consulate there.

"Those missiles were fired from Iranian soil, and Iran took responsibility.

"Both the attack on an American ship in the Red Sea and the missiles fired from Iran towards the US Consulate took place after Joe Biden assured the country that Iran had been sufficiently warned not to escalate the hostilities in the region.

"A wag on Twitter summed up the safety and effectiveness of Joe Biden’s warnings to foreign adversaries: . . .

@greg_price11
Two days ago, Biden told reporters "I've already delivered the message to Iran. They know not to do anything." Today, they attacked the US consulate and airport in Northern Iraq.

. . ."Iran has clearly decided to keep testing the United States’ resolve and with good reason. Despite what has amounted to pinprick attacks on the Houthis in Yemen, the US seems to have taken a “sit back and take it” approach to Iran’s aggression.

"It’s still too early to see the Biden Administration’s response to the attack in Erbil, Iraq, but it’s long past time to make a judgment about the effectiveness of Biden’s policy choices in the Middle East."
