What Was Buttigieg Thinking Encouraging a Young Boy to Come Out as Gay at His Campaign Event?

PJ Media
Of all the political stunts involving children, this one is the most offensive I've ever seen. Let's make childhood great again and stop assigning adult sexual obsessions to minors.

 "This is the weirdest video you will see all year, probably (although with Democrats it's fairly certain there will be weirder). For some reason, Democrats think of nine-year-olds as sexual beings who not only need to know more sexual knowledge than debauched Roman emperors by the time they get out of kindergarten, but they also think they should be identifying as "gay" or "trans" or "drag" as early as possible. Pete Buttigieg decided it was a good idea to have a nine-year-old child join him on stage at a campaign event in Denver on Saturday to talk about his sexuality.
"If you didn't think the end was near, think again. Most of us are wishing for an asteroid extinction event at this point. The child sent a question to Buttigieg asking him to help him "be brave like you." Cue endless virtue signaling from clapping weirdos who think it's totally normal that a 9-year-old is thinking about gay sex." . . .
Notice the cheers coming from youthful voices.

Recap: Donald Trump Won the South Carolina Democratic Debate

Tony Branco
PJ Media  "The real winner of Tuesday's chaotic Democratic debate in South Carolina wasn't on stage. Each candidate got a few good lines in, but no one candidate stood out in a way that will shake up the race. Sen. Bernie Sanders (S-USSR) has the momentum and former Vice President Joe Biden is holding out for a win in South Carolina. Biden, the longtime frontrunner, has fallen nearly ten points behind Sanders in national polls one week out from Super Tuesday.
"Biden is likely to prevail in South Carolina, but it remains to be seen if this will reinvigorate his flailing campaign. This debate seemed unusually vicious and chaotic, making Trump look better by comparison.
"While former Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D-Church of Social Justice) did get a few good digs in at Sanders, candidates took aim at other competitors as well, significantly lowering the heat faced by the frontrunner. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-1/1024th of a Plan) hit hard against former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg (D-PILES OF CASH), who uttered a Freudian slip about buying elections!
"Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Someplace Cold) remained her usual staid self but proved largely irrelevant, as did coal-investor-turned-green-activist Tom Steyer.
"The debate perhaps proved most notable for its gaffes. Biden said nearly half the U.S. population died in the past ten years due to gun violence. He also insisted on getting more time to speak and burst out in anger twice when the moderators tried to move on. Indeed, the moderators often let candidates speak longer than their allotted time, for people not named Joe Biden. Perhaps they didn't want Biden to dig himself into too many holes...
"Arguably the most hilarious moment came when we learned that Joe Biden won his election to the U.S. Senate in something like 24 hours. On Monday, the former vice president (and former senator) announced, "I'm a Democratic candidate for United States Senate." During the debate, a moderator referred to him as "Senator Biden.' " . . .

Let's read up on Bernie, shall we?

"He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done," Clinton says in the film, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it."
Any chance this will be posted in some campus newspaper? 

It’s idiotic to believe Castro was good for the Cuban people or that socialism would be good for the U.S
. . . "Higher education professors will now receive $56 to $68 per month, very similar to the fake Indian running for President, who wants to move towards socialism, who is worth millions and got paid $400,000 for the tough task of teaching one course. I wonder why the cost of education is so high in the U.S and why student debt is so high when Warren only got $400,000 plus benefits for such a tough schedule." . . .

In the South Carolina debate, Sanders cemented his hard Left image  . . . "Bernie is very good at demagoguing. No matter the question, he goes off on his shtick about the need for socialized medicine so everyone can have the “right” to healthcare. What he consistently ignores is that America has the best outcomes in the world. All that the other countries offer is the boast that people can see doctors, not the boast that they can get treated. This is just one of Bernie’s many subtle lies, where he makes ideological statements that are not borne out by the facts." . . .

Bernie Sanders' disastrous answer on '60 Minutes  "Bernie Sanders, the clear front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, was asked over the weekend how much his various plans would cost if implemented. He didn't know" . . .

Two Florida Residents Sue to Keep Bernie off Democratic Primary Ballot Because He’s Not A Democrat  "First Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) ticked off people in Florida after he praised former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
"Now two Florida residents, who are registered Democrats, sued to keep Sanders off the Democratic primary ballot since he is an Independent." . . .
The primary takes place on March 17.
"Former circuit court judge Karen Gievers is representing Frank Bach, a retired mailman, and George Brown, a retired social worker. She is married to Bach.
"The suit lists the following as defendants:
  • Florida Democratic Party
  • Democratic National Committee
  • Sanders
  • Secretary of State Laurel Lee
Fidel Castro Fanboy Bernie Faces Democrat Backlash In Florida  . . . "Democrat and #NeverTrump pundits have been unleashing oceans of ink trying to get another Democrat to take down socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). They at least want to get him to moderate his crazy commie worldview and to downplay his disastrous plans for our great nation.  If he doesn’t, they justifiably fear, he will lose to Trump.
"And for them, beating Trump is all that matters."

WATCH: Crowd Goes After Bernie For Defending Communism AGAIN During Debate

Watch it here  "A South Carolina crowd booed socialist Bernie Sanders during a CBS News debate on Tuesday night after he again defended his remarks praising the murderous communist regime in Cuba." . . .

Pete Buttigieg is a slightly less gay version of Obama

Spectator USA  "On Valentine’s Day, Mayor Pete and his hus-bear Chasten managed to once again charm absolutely no one, barring a few lonely, slightly overweight middle-aged women. The couple, who like to cram their twee, G-rated romance down America’s throat at every possible opportunity, shared a photo from their wedding day. ‘With you, my love, I’d go anywhere’, Chasten wrote.
. . . 
"Sadly, those of us in the community know exactly the type of gay who does that, and it explains why gays are quite chilly towards Pete. The lefties call it ‘heteronormativity’, but I just call it corny. The lefty gays don’t see Pete as culturally gay, as one of us, and, in fact, more of an enemy than a friend to them, a sad figure desperately clinging on to a traditional framework they’ve long rejected and decided wasn’t for them."

. . . 
"Now Pete’s public struggles with his identity have presented a new twist. He is, basically, a slightly less gay version of Obama. And he has plenty more in common with the former president. They’re both moody, bitchy academics. Journalists and people with graduate degrees relate to them. They’re both affirmative action candidates, from towns 90 miles apart, raised by communist parents who’d wither and die outside the higher education system. And they are both shooting for the highest office in the land with almost no political experience. Pete has even less experience, and possesses none of the former president’s charisma, intelligence, and oratory skill.' "  . . .

As President, how would he deal with, say, Iran?


A dark side of Mayor Bloomberg

American Thinker
Mike Bloomberg did more than tell women a few unfunny jokes  "Now that Bernie Sanders and Mike Bloomberg look to be the last two standing in the Democrat primaries — the communist and the plutocrat — each side is spending overtime digging up dirt on the other.  One of Bernie's supporters found some of the allegations a woman made in a lawsuit she filed in 1998 directly against Michael Bloomberg (as opposed to a lawsuit more generally against his company).
"The lawsuit described a workplace environment in which Bloomberg generally degraded women; demanded that they have sex appeal to work with him; and engaged in repeated, and unwanted, sexual gestures and touching." . . .

Has any candidate ever imploded like Michael Bloomberg?
I survived the Mayor Mike years  . . . "Rudy Giuliani followed the destructive David Dinkins administration which allowed criminal mobs to roam the streets chanting "Death to the Jews" while governed by a mayor who spent as much time watching tennis matches as Obama spent golfing. The three-day riots in crown heights were described by Jewish leaders as the worst "pogrom" in US history.
 "Soon after Rudy Giuliani took office, the city changed very much for the better. He beefed up the NYPD and adopted an aggressive enforcement and deterrence strategy based on the Broken Windows concept. This involved crackdowns on relatively minor offenses such as graffiti, turnstile jumping, and aggressive "squeegeemen" that plagued the city drivers. This principle successfully sent the message that order would be maintained and that the city would be "cleaned up." The crime rates went down, the city became the safest large metropolis in the world and tourists flocked here. Critics of his administration tried to claim that crime had started going down two years before he took office but anyone who has lived here knows that statistics can be manipulated to show any desired result.
"New Yorkers felt safer, businesses came back or were newly established. Broadway and Times Square was completely transformed from a haven for derelicts and perverts to a family friendly tourist attraction. David Letterman once said that the definition of a "New York Minute" was the time it took for a tourist to check into a Times Square Hotel and to be shot dead on the sidewalk. That had a ring of truth before Giuliani but not after." . . .
Before Michael Bloomberg, one could smoke in a bar, restaurants could cook their meals with any kind of fat, and neighborhoods were fairly safe from eminent domain and speculators. With Democrat Mayor DeBlasio, the squeegeemen are back and thanks to Gov, Cuomo and his no bail, catch and release program, thugs are roaming the city freely. New Yorkers have been called "slaves of the state."   Alicia Colon
While in New York - two months before 9-11! - I asked an NYPD officer how Guiliani made such a difference. He said, simply, that Guiliani ordered the police to just start enforcing the laws. That was all it took. TD

Bernie and the Redsssss


Cuban Americans Share Some Personal Knowledge Of Castro’s Cuba With Bernie Sanders (Update)  "Since Bernie Sanders decided to look at the bright side of the Cuban revolution a few Cuban Americans have come forward to offer their personal perspectives as people who actually lived under Castro’s regime. Shockingly, their memories of Cuban communism are not, primarily, positive tales of expanded literacy. Miami Herald columnist Fabiola Santiago described her family’s experience after Castro took over: . . ."

Senate Dem On Bernie: Come On, We’re Not Really Gonna Make Him Leader Of The Free World, Are We?  . . . "Menendez was more explicit about his objections to Sanders yesterday when speaking to reporters at a construction site in Hudson County, New Jersey. “I’m sure that the hundreds who died in Castro’s jails,” Menendez said, “the millions who came to the United States and other fleeing elsewhere, and those who are still languishing in Castro’s jails simply because they seek to speak their mind as we are free to do in the United States do not find anything in that regime other than it was a tyrannical regime”: . . ."

And how would the press handle if Joe Biden said this?

Bernie Sanders Promoted Article Saying American Dream ‘More Apt To Be Realized’ In Venezuela  . . . "Sanders has faced criticism — including from fellow Democrats — for his sympathetic opinions of communist regimes.
"The socialist Vermont senator’s repeated defenses of deceased Cuban dictator Fidel Castro sparked a backlash from both Republicans and Democrats." . . .
Dictator Again: ‘Truth Is Truth’; Fact-Check: Here’s The Real Truth  "Despite widespread backlash over his praise of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro during an interview with “60 minutes” Sunday, Democratic presidential frontrunner Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) doubled down on his positive comments on the brutal communist leader’s regime during a townhall with CNN on Monday, declaring, “The truth is the truth.” But a past fact-check by the Washington Post on the claim Sanders continues to push suggests that the socialist senator’s “truth” about Castro’s regime lacks key context and relies on highly questionable data from the dictatorial regime." . . .
"As explained in a Washington Post fact-check of leftist Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s similar claim back in 2016, when Castro came to power, Cuba already had a strong literacy rate. In the areas of education and healthcare, the Post explained, “many other Latin American countries made far more dramatic strides in the past six decades, without the need for a communist dictatorship.' ”

Why Bernie Sanders’s Praise of Fidel Castro Matters

 National Review

He’s defended virtually every Communist tyrant he’s ever been asked about over the past 50 years.

"Did you know that infamous Nazi Hermann Göring was a great lover of animals, a protector of birds, and head of the forestry service in Germany? Unless you’re a history buff, probably not. After all, almost no one feels the need to preface their comments about the Third Reich with “Sure, the authoritarianism was pretty bad, but, boy, that Göring was one hell of an environmentalist!”
"Western elites, however, like to use this kind of absurd criterion whenever they talk about socialism, ignoring its vast failures and praising its piddling and alleged successes — you know, “Denmark,” but not Algeria, Albania, Angola, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Burma, Cambodia, China, Congo, East Germany, Ethiopia, Hungary, Latvia, Mongolia, Romania, Somalia, Venezuela, Vietnam, Yemen, Yugoslavia, and so on and on.
"And unlike many modern progressives, Bernie Sanders is old-school, still in the habit of praising old comrades. “When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing?” Bernie told 60 Minutes this past weekend, reacting to criticism of his near-complete praise of the dictator back in the 1980s.
"The answer is: Yes, massive literacy programs instituted using the machinery of a tyranny are, indeed, a bad thing. For one thing, you can institute massive literacy programs without authoritarianism, just as you can build impressive highways without fascism or alleviate most poverty without collectivism. Just ask the United States, or any other capitalistic nation with wealth and high literacy rates.
"Even then, Sanders is regurgitating Communist propaganda. Cuba already had the highest literacy rate in Latin America before the revolution, and it basically kept trending in the same direction as every other nation in the region. When Castro triumphantly entered Havana in 1958, he didn’t bring truckloads of books; he ordered thousands of arrests and summary executions. When Castro “came into office,” he canceled elections, terminated the free press, and turned Cuba into the island prison that still exists today." . . . More...


Trey Gowdy: Stop Giving Classified Briefings To Any ‘Epidemic Leaker’

Daily Caller  "Former Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy said Monday that any “epidemic leaker” should be denied classified intelligence briefings.
“ 'What the Intelligence Committee needs to give some thought to is to stop briefing someone who has a history and is an epidemic leaker. Quit briefing him,” Gowdy told Fox News’ “Hannity.”
. . . "While grateful that this latest story was addressed quickly, Gowdy wondered why classified information continues to be leaked. “We were lectured by the D.C. media and the Democrats that ‘No one is above the law.’ Remember that, Sean? How many times have we heard ‘no one is above the law?’ Apparently except whoever leaked classified information from [Democratic California Rep.] Adam Schiff’s [intelligence] committee.' ”
 . . .When asked why there have been no legal repercussions for Schiff after claiming he had evidence of Trump’s collusion with Russia, Gowdy replied that Schiff was largely talking to the media. (RELATED: Gowdy Goes After Schiff For Claiming Evidence Of Russian Collusion)

Joe Biden tells South Carolina crowd that he is running for the SENATE as fears for his health begin to grow

UK Daily Mail
Joe Biden left voters bewildered yesterday as he told them he was
running for the Senate and if they didn't like him they should
 'vote for the other Biden.'
"Democratic leadership contender Joe Biden left voters bewildered yesterday as he told them he was running for the Senate and if they didn't like him they should 'vote for the other Biden'.
"The former vice president, 77, sparked fresh concerns over his mental capacity as he addressed a crowd in South Carolina and appeared to forget which campaign he was running in.
"He said: 'My name's Joe Biden and I'm a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate. Look me over, if you like what you see help out, if not, vote for the other Biden.'
"A clip of his latest gaffe was posted on Twitter by activist Shaun King, who wrote: 'This is so sad.'
"He added: 'I honestly wish he would've retired & not subjected himself to the rigors of this campaign.'
"Donald Trump Jr took a swipe at Biden on Twitter saying: 'As I've been saying when is enough enough with Joe?'
"President Trump's eldest son added: 'He's been running for 18 months and doesn't know what he's running for? If his family wasn't making millions off of his public office they should have stepped in a long time ago. This isn't right.' " . . .

Never forget the media’s blind eye to Obama’s corruption

Jack Hellner  "The media is outraged that former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich only had to serve eight years out of a fourteen-year sentence for corruption. They say it sends a bad message that political corruption is OK. But what is outrageous and sends a message that political corruption is OK is when the Justice Department, most of the media, and other Democrats didn’t care about the massive political corruption of Barrack(sp) Obama throughout his political life and supported him no matter what he did.
"Obama was above the law.. . . 
"President Obama allowed Hillary and Biden to use their positions of power to greatly enrich themselves and their families. The Justice Department, most alleged journalists and other Democrats never cared about this pure corruption. We are constantly told that there is no evidence of wrongdoing.
"President Obama saved his most flagrant corruption for his last year in office. He so desired that his policies be continued that he wanted to pick his successor. He knew how corrupt Hillary was, how many laws she broke and how many kickbacks she took, so he had to use massive amounts of manpower and taxpayer money to protect and elect her. Then he had to set out and destroy her opponent and massive manpower and taxpayer money was needed for that abuse of power also. It didn’t matter how much illegal spying had to go on and how many individuals and families he had to destroy to defeat Trump. He of course had top level government officials at Justice and Intelligence agencies who would gladly help. He also had almost all media outlets willing to meddle to destroy Trump and elect the corrupt Hillary." . . .

Bloomberg Derides Sanders for Remarks Praising Castro

Then along came Gorbachev. And there were a couple others in there that lasted two or three days before palace intrigue took ’em out. But Ted Kennedy is literally promising the Russians, “Be patient. Work with us to get rid of Ronald Reagan, and everything will be back to normal.” What do you call that, if that’s not meddling in a presidential election? None other than Ted Kennedy. Rush Limbaugh
Tony Branco
Sanders Praises Fidel Castro for Setting Up ‘Massive Literacy Program  "They showed a video of Sanders defending Castro while explaining why the Cuban people didn’t rise up and help the United States overthrow him.
“ 'He educated their kids, gave them healthcare, totally transformed the society,” Sanders said at the time.
"During the “60 Minutes” interview, Cooper asked what Democratic socialism is." . . .



National Review  Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg on Monday criticized fellow 2020 contender Bernie Sanders over comments Sanders made praising the regime of the late Cuban Communist leader Fidel Castro.
“Fidel Castro left a dark legacy of forced labor camps, religious repression, widespread poverty, firing squads, and the murder of thousands of his own people. But sure, Bernie, let’s talk about his literacy program,” Bloomberg wrote in a tweet that included a clip of Sanders praising Castro during a 60 Minutes interview.\
"Bloomberg’s statement came after CBS aired comments Sanders made during the 1980s, in which the Vermont senator claimed that part of the reason the Cuban people did not help the U.S. overthrow Castro’s regime was because the authoritarian leader provided them with health care and education.
" 'He educated their kids, gave them health care, totally transformed the society, you know?” Sanders said in the decades-old clip." . . .

Florida Democrats not pleased with Bernie  
. . . "This morning Ed wrote about Bernie Sanders’ comments on Fidel Castro during an interview with 60 Minutes. “When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing?” Sanders told Anderson Cooper. It will come as a surprise to no one except possibly Bernie Sanders that this did not go over well with Florida Democrats many of whom represent Cuban expats." . . .

"Rush Limbaugh calls Cuba's literacy program sheer leftist propaganda"



. . . "Do you think the Democrat Party’s moved that far left since the days of Ted Kennedy? It hasn’t. And all these brilliant columnists and commentators who are apparently shocked at what the Crazy Bernie lead and apparent nomination will mean, “Oh, my God. This party has become.” It’s always been this. Yeah, I’m little frustrated because I’ve spent how many years trying to get people to understand what liberalism is and that that is what the Democrat Party — this is now an extreme, extreme branch of liberalism called liberalism, socialism, communism, what have you." . . .

The Democrats' Russian Roulette

Rich Terrell
Clarice Feldman  "Once again operating out of their well-worn playbook, the Democrats are spinning the cylinder and placing the gun to their heads in suggesting the Russians are backing the President’s re-election, and once again they missed the empty chamber and fired a bullet into their leading candidate.


"In 2016, when they claimed that Trump was Russia’s choice and had secured his election, they ended up with highlighting to voters what the media had covered up: It was Hillary Clinton who approved the Uranium One sale of 20% of U.S. Uranium. It was Hillary who received assistance to this end from the Russian-paid lobbying firm APCO Worldwide. It was her husband who was paid $500,000 for a short talk in Russia by a bank connected to the Kremlin­­­­­­. It was Hillary’s foundation that received $145 million from companies connected to the Russian nuclear company Rosatom. It was Hillary who was responsible for not providing security to our diplomats in Benghazi and who bald-faced lied about the murder of our ambassador and his defenders. It was Hillary who prompted the murder of Qaddafi after he was cooperating with us on nuclear disarmament and set off the greatest wave of refugees since World War II." . . .
