Will the Senate Censure Crazy Mazie Hirono?

But without doubt it is Crazy Mazie’s conduct as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee that was clearly dishonorable, the very epitome of what McCarthy was seen as being: “bullying, reckless, and dishonest.”

Speaking: Mazie Hirono; nodding: Kirsten Gillibrand
The American Spectator  . . . "This moment in Senate history came to mind when listening to Hawaii’s Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono say the following to the Attorney General of the United States — Bill Barr — at a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Said Hirono:
“May or any of the other people who sacrificed their once-decent reputation for the grifter and liar who sits ir. Barr, now the American people know that you’re no different than Rudy Giuliani or Kellyanne Conwn the Oval Office. Being attorney general of the United States is a sacred trust. You have betrayed that trust. America deserves better. You should resign.”
"Got that? A United States Senator used a formal hearing of the United States Senate Judiciary Committee to call the President of the United States “the grifter and liar who sits in the Oval Office.” Then she attacked the Attorney General for having “betrayed” his office and sacrificing his own quite sterling reputation. 

"Her words had the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham, quickly admonishing Hirono, saying"
“You have slandered this man from top to bottom. If you want more of this you’re not going to get it.
"Exactly.
"Aside from whatever projection of her own problems this illustrated, “Crazy Mazie” most assuredly did exactly what Joe McCarthy was accused of doing. Hirono “… acted contrary to senatorial ethics and tended to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute” and clearly impaired the Senate’s dignity.
"Recall that during the Kavanaugh hearings Crazy Mazie stood before the cameras and microphones at a press conference and said American men should “shut up and step up” when it comes to issues of sexual assault. Yet notably Hirono was stone cold silent about the court-documented charges of abuse by the ex-wife of her fellow Senate Democrat, Sherrod Brown. " . . .

Senator Hirono Didn’t Always Tell Men to ‘Shut Up’ and Believe Accusers  
"When it mattered in her own backyard, with a male Democratic senator, she turned a blind eye to sexual abuse." . . .

Democrats Vote To Hold AG Barr In Contempt. Here's What They Said In 2012 When Holder Was Held In Contempt.

See the demagoguery drip from Nadlers lips. How America's adversaries must laugh at our silliness. TD


Daily Wire . . . In 2012, Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder, became the first sitting member of a president's cabinet in U.S. history to be held in contempt of Congress after he refused to turn over documents related to the Obama administration's "Operation Fast and Furious," which gave military-style weapons to Mexican drug cartels which were then used to kill U.S. federal agents.
"In response to Holder being held in contempt, Nadler tweeted the following in 2012: "Just joined the #walkout of the House chamber to protest the shameful, politically-motivated GOP vote holding AG Holder in contempt."  
. . . 
"Here are the responses from other notable House Democrats on Holder being held in contempt:
  • Adam Schiff: “To say this is a terrible use of Congress’ power and time is an understatement.”
  • Nancy Pelosi: “It’s such a ridiculous thing. This contempt [vote] don't get me started.”
  • Steny Hoyer: “The action on the floor today is unprecedented in the history of America.”
  • Elijah Cummings: “You’ve been holding the Attorney General to an impossible standard” 
  • and that he solely was “protecting documents he was prohibited by law from producing.”




Democrats, don't you DARE look at that Mueller Report!

Rich Terrell
National Review: Constitutional Crisis As Absurdist Theater  . . . "For the New York Democrat to turn around and have his committee vote to hold Bill Barr in contempt is truly bizarre. Barr’s alleged offense is the redactions. But he has made an almost entirely un-redacted report available to top Democrats to review. They have refused to do so, boycotting the further information that they say they so desperately need." . . .
. . . Barr is clearly being targeted so Democrats can make a show of punishing someone in the administration, without taking the much more politically perilous step of impeaching the president. Although her statements have been a bit all over the map lately, Speaker Nancy Pelosi still must realize that impeachment would likely be a political mistake. But the more Nadler and others inflate the current faux crisis, the greater the likelihood that Democrats crab-walk their way to the impeachment proceedings they may think they are forestalling by scapegoating Bill Barr.
Trump: I have not read Mueller report, 'though I have every right to do so'

Dems reject Barr's offer to view a less-redacted Mueller report
“Democrats demand answers but put their hands over their eyes every time those answers appear,” the aide said. “Attorney General Barr has given unprecedented accommodations to Chairman Nadler, and it’s unconscionable the chairman refuses receipt of information he’s claimed for weeks Democrats are ‘entitled to.’ Who subpoenas a report and publicly refuses to read it in the same day?

California OKs new sex-ed guidelines for teachers despite objections from parents, protesters

Ultimately, California’s finalized framework tells teachers that students in kindergarten can identify as transgender and offers tips for how to talk about that, adding “the goal is not to cause confusion about the gender of the child but to develop an awareness that other expressions exist.”
Fox News  "The California Department of Education approved controversial sex education guidelines for public school teachers Wednesday that encourage classroom discussions about gender identity and LGBT relationships, but removed five resources and books, including one that explains sex to students as young as kindergarten.
"LGBT advocates praised the new recommendations for giving attention to a community that is often left out of sex education policies.
"But some parents and conservative groups assailed the more than 700-page document as an assault on parental rights, claiming it exposes children to ideas about sexuality and gender that should be taught at home." . . .



" 'It's just scary what they are going to be teaching. It's pornography," said Patricia Reyes, 45, a mother of six who traveled more than 400 miles to attend Wednesday's hearing in Sacramento, the state capital. "If this continues, I'm not sending them to school."
" 'Not everything under the sun needs to be taught to our kids, with no moral judgment," Greg Burt, director of the California Family Council, told the Sacramento Bee." . . .

The Lies, Clichés, and Hypocrisy of Bernie Sanders

The old "kill the Americans, Comrade Ho " raised fist.
Conrad Black  "There is something seriously disconcerting about the sight of the leading declared Democratic presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, embracing the most imperishable charlatan in American political history, the supposedly reverend Al Sharpton. This most improbable clergyman, although he is only 64, is so worn down by what Dr. Johnson called the “disingenuousness of years,” he now looks like an ambulatory waxwork dummy. He has been exposed countless times for scams, falsehoods, and incitements to violence. Of all prominent African-Americans, only Louis Farrakhan is more odious.*


"Now that Sanders is the front-runner, with the possible exception of Joe (Hamlet) Biden, it is time to start taking a closer look at him. I’ve always been curious why he would have worked for a time on a Stalinist Kibbutz after the 20th Communist Party Congress where Stalin’s infamies and atrocities were publicly denounced by Nikita Khrushchev. Sanders apparently was a renegade Communist as a youth, regarding Khrushchev as a mealy-mouthed compromiser. It was eccentric that he spent his honeymoon in Moscow, but that, I suppose, is the business of no one but the then-newlyweds.
"Our country has seemed benignly incurious about a man running officially as a socialist . . . To see Bernie Sanders and listen to him for a few minutes, it is clear that there is a story to his career that is likely to be unusual and interesting. For young people, he seems to hold that odd attraction of elderly Marxists that Herbert Marcuse had for glamorous youthful acolytes in the 1960s such as Joan Baez and Angela Davis." . . .

Colorado School Shooter Devon Erickson: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Heavy



"Devon Erickson, an 18-year-old high school student who has worked as a youth actor in Colorado, was identified by authorities as one of the two shooters accused of wounding nine students in a K-12 STEM school located in Douglas County. One of those students, 18-year-old Kendrick Castillo, died heroically in the attack after confronting one of the shooters. 
"In court for the first time on May 8, Erickson bowed his head, his purple hair dangling over his face. He’s facing more than two dozen charges. He shook his head to answer some of the judge’s questions. At one point, he answered “no” when asked whether he had questions." . . .
Suspect's profile photo
"On social media, Devon Erickson, a registered Democrat, expressed hatred for some Christians, and shared posts criticizing Donald Trump and praising Barack Obama, which you can see later in this article.
“ 'You know what I hate? All these Christians who hate gays, yet in the bible, it says in Deuteronomy 17:12-13, if someone doesn’t do what their priest tells them to do, they are supposed to die. It has plenty of crazy stuff like that,” he wrote in one Facebook post a couple years ago. “But all they get out of it is ‘ewwwwww gays.'” In 2015, Erickson put a celebrate pride filter onto a Facebook picture." . . .

After a beehive of activity, Jared Kushner will finally be unveiling his comprehensive immigration plan!

True then, true now
Ann Coulter  . . . "Trump's genius was that he was pushing policies that were popular. The fact that the media said they weren't just made him look brave. He used the media's lies against them. 
"Political analysts kept droning on and on about Trump's mysterious appeal, but in all their prolix analyses, I can't find a single one saying, Boy, were we wrong about immigration! 
"Trump proved it's not a suicidal act to notice that high levels of immigration do not benefit most Americans. Republicans refuse to understand that not all rising tides lift all boats. There are ways the rich can do well while most of the country does worse. ... 
"Some Republicans surely knew in their hearts that dumping millions of low-wage workers on America was hurting the people who lived here, but they were too scared of not getting the fat checks to say so." . . . 

. . . 
"Elected Republicans run for office on defending the middle class, then get to Washington and concentrate on gifts to big business. They'd say, Of course we're with you on immigration, but unless you write us a check there's nothing we can do. 
"Then they get elected and say, Oh yeah ... about immigration, we'll be screwing you over on that -- but we are going to pass a job-killing trade deal! And don't worry -- Wall Street will be getting a blank check. I think a little gratitude is in order. 
"That's not what we asked for! 
** ** ** 
"We had no choice but to vote for Trump. Hillary was promising to take us straight to hell. I've got it all mapped out, the coordinates are in the GPS, I'll have us in hell within 24 hours! Trump was promising to take us in the exact opposite direction. 
"We elected him. But that didn't happen. It turns out that instead of taking us away from hell, he's zigzagging all over creation, sometimes getting stuck in a parking lot, sometimes heading straight for hell, then suddenly taking a left at the last minute, so that it's never clear where we're headed. 
"But on the eve of the big immigration plan unveiling, let's remind him what we voted for. (By "him," obviously I mean Jared.)" 



Does Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Deserve Its Official ‘Terrorist’ Designation?

Noisy Room




"Only weeks after the U.S. State Department officially designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, a new, extremely militant commander has been appointed to lead the elite organization.
"Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei demoted longtime Revolutionary Guards leader Maj. Gen. Mohammed Ali Jafari on April 21 and replaced him with his deputy Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami.]
"According to the Times of Israel:
“ 'Salami has frequently vowed to destroy Israel and ‘break America.’ Iran was ‘planning to break America, Israel, and their partners and allies. Our ground forces should cleanse the planet from the filth of their existence,’ Salami said in February. The previous month, he vowed to wipe Israel off the ‘global political map,’ and to unleash an ‘inferno’ on the Jewish state.“ 'Any new war, he said, ‘will result in Israel’s defeat within three days, in a way that they will not find enough graves to bury their dead.’”
"During a July 2016 speech in Tehran, Salami stated, “Today, more than ever, there is fertile ground—with the grace of God—for the annihilation, the wiping out, and the collapse of the Zionist regime.”
"Salami continued: “Only in Lebanon, more than 100,000 Qaem missiles are ready for launch … so that any time the Zionist regime seeks to repeat its previous mistakes with miscalculations, these missiles would … come down on the heart of the Zionist regime and be the prelude for a big collapse in the modern era. … They are just waiting for the command so that when the trigger is pulled, the accursed black dot will be wiped off the geopolitical map of the world, once and for all.' ” . . .

CNN, again doing what CNN does

How much more racist will CNN be?  "Just when you thought CNN couldn't get any lower, it plummets to rock bottom, asking:"


. . . "So let's also ask, how American will the royal baby be?  Hmmm.  Will he speak English with a British or an American accent? Town and Country magazineasks.  Or will he be American enough to run for president of the U.S., as some speculate, since he probably won't be king — which has nothing to do with his race — because his cousins, the children of Harry's older brother William and his wife, Kate Middleton, have priority?  Or something.
"Now, to answer Blake's question, "how black will the royal baby be?"  According to my limited knowledge of and interest in the subject plus too long ago elementary school math, the royal baby is 25% black, as one of his grandparents is black, and the other three are white.
"And for the unasked question, the royal baby will be 100% human, as are his parents, grandparents, and ancestors."
CNN contributor makes a truly bizarre claim about abortion  . . . "In a CNN segment fulminating against the new Georgia law that bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, Quinn claimed that a baby is not human while it is in the womb.

Trump Asserts Executive Privilege Over Unredacted Mueller Report. Democrats lay down more hate

Legal Insurrection
DOJ: Barr “could not comply with” the subpoena “in its current form without violating the law, court rules, and court orders…”


"President Donald Trump exerted executive privilege over the unredacted from Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
"The move came after the House Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to hold Attorney General William Barr “for failing to comply with a subpoena for the full report and its underlying materials.' ” . . .
Rep. Al Green: We Need to Impeach Trump Because He Might Get Reelected   "Democratic Congressman Al Green proves once again to be the gift to Republicans that keeps on giving." .............................. ...............................................................O’Rourke voted twice against impeachment proceedings as a member of the House.  But that was then. This is now.    Notice how a slippery politician responds.
Democrat Hypocrisy on Trump ‘Inciting Hate’ Brilliantly Summed Up  "If Democrats didn’t have double standards they wouldn’t have any standards at all.

The Angry, Scowling Democrats and Mass Hysteria

The Democrats and Mass Hysteria by Michael James   "My father owned a house on a golf course and at night we would sit on his patio.   If we were chatty enough to let it get late there sometimes sounded a helluva riot in the near or far distance.  The coyotes had found prey and were wildly shrieking at a potential kill.  It always sounded like a pack of drunks to me.
"It sounded like mass hysteria." . . .
Rich Terrell
. . . "Somebody should tell the Democrats that behaving like Midnight Coyotes for over two years is wearing on the self and on the body politic.  If they want to preserve the Constitution, they should trust it and abide by it instead of trying to tear it to pieces and devour it in a shared frenzy of mass hysteria.
"I’d tell them, but they never stop howling hysterically long enough to get an authentic thought in edgewise."

Is anybody else getting sick of seeing angry, scowling Democrat faces daily?




Then there is this Democrat punching out a pro-life protestor   . . . " 'Did y'all put these up?" a woman asks in the video. As soon as the man confirms that he did, she rushes in, punching him in the face multiple times and hitting him in the stomach. She concludes by yelling, "F**king terrible person!"
" 'You’re a terrible person. You — this is not okay! This is not okay! This is not okay! Shut the f**k up right now!" she kept yelling. "This is wrong! This is triggering! You’re not an innocent human being. You’re a terrible person."
"The protesters called the cops and told her to stay on site. The police confirmed she will be charged with misdemeanor assault." . . .
