Only in Florida: Crazed Woman Stalks Governor

...Jones’ ongoing hysterics resulted in criminal charges against her for vandalizing Sweeterman’s car, robbery and stalking. She was fired by the university, jailed at least three times and committed to a mental institution. ...*

Ann Coulter  "In another Very Florida story, a woman with a colorful criminal history has spent the last year collecting media accolades and a half-million dollars in donations by accusing the Republican governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, of fudging the state’s COVID numbers. 

"Rebekah Jones, website designer (not “scientist,” as the media insistently claim), falsely accused DeSantis of doing what Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York actually was doing with the COVID numbers. From the extensive media coverage, I figured maybe the DeSantis administration was taking advantage of gray areas to make the state’s record look as good as possible. Not as bad as what Cuomo was doing, but something.

"Nope! This whole story was the fantasy of a crazed stalker, as explained in detail by Christina Pushaw in Human Events and Charles Cook in National Review.

"I forgot my own admonition that you can’t believe anything the media say.

"The canonization of Rebekah Jones is only the latest example of the press latching onto any lunatic who attacks a Republican. Remember Bill Burkett? (CBS’s deranged source for the fake Bush Air National Guard story.) Jamie Leigh Jones? (Falsely claimed she was gang-raped in Iraq by Halliburton employees.) How about media star and Democratic presidential hopefulMichael Avenatti? (He was going to vanquish Donald Trump and Brett Kavanaugh with Stormy Daniels and Julie Swetnick, until his criminal past caught up with him.)

"Hey, whatever happened to Haven Monahan?

"Contrary to Jones’ allegations, she could not have been asked to falsify Florida COVID numbers, for the simple reason that she didn’t generate the numbers. She designed and updated the state’s website using data given to her by actual epidemiologists, but had no role in the collection of the information and no earthly idea what it should be.

"On the other hand, she did:" . . .   More... 

*Other that all that, we must believe the woman who is not Tara Reid.

Back in 2011, Ms. Coulter showed her words should be heeded in her prescient article forecasting Antifa and BLM:

Ann Coulter on the 'Liberal Mob' of the American Left

"Just as fire seeks oxygen, Democrats seek power, which is why they will always be found championing the mob whether the mob consists of Democrats lynching blacks or Democrats slandering the critics of Obama Care as racists," Coulter writes."

Demi and Alok; Guardians and birthers of Western culture speak their truth

 Demi Lovato comes out as non-binary, changes pronouns to they/them

The singer revealed Wednesday they are happy to share the very personal moment on their "4D with Demi Lovato" podcast.


. . . "Lovato and Vaid-Menon also discussed pronouns, and the "Dancing With the Devil" singer said "it would mean the world if people could start identifying me as they/them. However, she'll "be accepting" if people "slip" and use she/her pronouns. Lovato just requests that people are "making the effort."

Biden's military will still be proud to accept, er, them.

 

Biden Snatched War From the Jaws of Israel Peace Deals. Pence Explains How He Did It

PJ Media  "A new era of peace was dawning in the Middle East with President Donald Trump in office. Last year, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Muslim-majority Kosovo, Sudan, and Morocco formally acknowledged the state of Israel, and Saudi Arabia was well on the way. Yet, barely four months into President Joe Biden’s term, thousands of Hamas rockets have targeted Israel, killing ten Israelis and likely killing Palestinians, as well. Israel has responded with targeted strikes taking out key terrorist leaders, and Hamas has claimed that these attacks have killed at least 201 Palestinians.

"What happened? How did the Middle East go from historic peace deals to the brink of war? Former Vice President Mike Pence provided a salient answer in a National Review op-ed on Monday.

"Pence argued that the violence between Israel and Palestine is “a direct result of the weakness shown by the Biden administration from its first day in office.” 

"Pence argued that Biden and congressional Democrats enabled the recent Israeli conflict by abandoning unambiguous support for Israel, emboldening America’s enemies, and turning their backs on Trump’s legacy of peace in the Middle East.

“ 'Under the Trump-Pence administration, we made it crystal clear to the world that America stands with Israel,” Pence explained. “We withdrew from the dangerous Iran nuclear deal brokered by the Obama-Biden administration, which put the world’s leading state sponsor of terror on the path to nuclear weapons while sending pallets of cash to the mullahs in Iran. We acknowledged Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights and the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. And President Trump kept the promise made by countless Republican and Democrat politicians by actually following through in moving the American embassy to Jerusalem, the capital of the state of Israel.' ” . . .

Biden Praises Rashida Tlaib As She Pushes Antisemitic BDS Movement During Conflict

 The Federalist  “ 'I want to say to you that I admire your intellect, I admire your passion, and I admire your concern for so many other people,” Biden said at a Ford plant in Dearborn. “You’re a fighter, and God thank you for being a fighter.” . . . 

 . . . "The president’s praise of Tlaib follows just days after the Michigan congresswoman reiterated calls to divest from Israel and condemned the nation as embracing apartheid, elements of which she said existed within the United States.

“ 'What we are telling Palestinians fighting apartheid is the same thing being told to my black neighbors and Americans throughout that are fighting against police brutality here,” she said on the House floor."

Tlaib, the first member of Congress of Palestinian descent, has long been one of Hamas’s fiercest defenders, branding Netanyahu as “Apartheid-in-chief” and demanding the U.S. stop “enabling” Israel as Israelis face rocket attacks from Hamas." . . .



Kamala Harris; Is she the best Democrats have?

Kamala Harris can't keep staff 

. . . Seems that being around Kamala is a hideous experience, given the slew of news stories coming out.  This raises another question: why is the mainstream press seemingly bringing out all these negative stories about Kamala?  Might it be that the media realize they've got a lemon in her when they manage to push senile old Joe out to pasture and need a replacement?  Could be most anything — best thing to do now is watch for that motive.

 The Deep Unpopularity of Kamala Harris (1)  . . . "Harris has never shown much skill or appeal as a politician. Her path to the top in California, essentially a one-party state at this point, was paved by her illicit relationship with Willie Brown. I am not sure what it is about Harris that repels voters, but it should scare the Democrats. It is highly unlikely that Joe Biden will be a candidate for re-election in 2024, assuming he survives that long. The Examiner comments:

That Kamala can’t even get a simple majority of independents is a problem, and if Donald Trump doesn’t try to reclaim his throne, she’ll be an absolute disaster for Democrats.

Imagine a race without the burden of Trump’s personality, bombast, and utter lack of loyalty to the GOP. According to nearly every early poll, [Ron] DeSantis, Florida’s governor, is the undisputed front-runner for a primary and one that should make Democrats shake in their boots. His politics include all of the best parts of Trump’s agenda but none of the bad or the baggage, and unlike the mild-mannered Pence, DeSantis could destroy Harris on a debate stage.

"Heck, Tulsi Gabbard destroyed Harris on the debate stage. But in all likelihood, the Democrats are stuck with her. If Biden dies or becomes incapacitated between now and 2024, Harris will be the incumbent. If Biden survives but graciously steps down after one term, it would be fratricidal for the Democrats to try to push Harris aside and nominate someone else. So, for better or worse, the Democrats are probably stuck with her."

The Deep Unpopularity of Kamala Harris (2)

. . . The problem isn’t “turf battles.” It is always a bad sign when a politician can’t good keep staff (or any staff), and Harris has long been known for being a terrible boss, going back to her time as California Attorney General. When you can’t keep eager political staff. . .

   . . . Seems that being around Kamala is a hideous experience, given the slew of news stories coming out.  This raises another question: why is the mainstream press seemingly bringing out all these negative stories about Kamala?  Might it be that the media realize they've got a lemon in her when they manage to push senile old Joe out to pasture and need a replacement?  Could be most anything — best thing to do now is watch for that motive.

 Report: Kamala Harris Maintains an 'Enemies List' of Journalists

. . . "In many ways, Harris is merely a non-white version of Hillary Clinton. Both women are possessed by ruthless ambition, yet lack the necessary skills to succeed in politics at the national level. They are most comfortable when regurgitating talking points and platitudes. Objectively speaking, they share a knack for unsettling laughter and launched their political careers by dating powerful men." . . .

 

Identifying Lt. Colonel Matthew Lohmeier’s real sin

Eric Swalwell, Joe Biden, Maxine Waters, Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, and the Democrat party are a disgrace to this nation -- not worthy of the title of American. Drew Allen

 American Thinker   "Lt. Colonel Matthew Lohmeier, who commanded the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado, was recently relieved of command. Why?


"The Communist News Network, or CNN,
 reports that a Defense Department official told them that “Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, Space Operations Command commander, relieved Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier of command…due to loss of trust and confidence in his ability to lead.” What did the lieutenant colonel do to betray trust and confidence?

"Did Lohmeier sleep with a Chinese spy, making him a National Security threat? That would certainly result in a loss of trust and confidence in his ability to lead. No, but Democrat Congress-pronoun Eric Swalwell did. Swalwell was rewarded with an appointment to the House Intelligence Committee following revelations that he was compromised by a sexual relationship with a known Chinese spy.

"Did Lohmeier receive questionable payments from shady business dealings with the Communist Chinese? Was he compromised by financial ties to China? That would certainly be suspicious and result in a loss of trust and confidence in his ability to lead. No, but Joe Biden and Hunter, his immoral, useless, criminal embarrassment of a son, did. Joe Biden is unpopularly believed to be the “President.”

"Did Lohmeier encourage rioting and mob rule? That too would result in an erosion of trust and confidence in his ability to lead. No, he didn’t do that either. But Congress-pronoun Maxine Waters did when she called on protestors to “stay in the streets” and “demand justice” during the Derek Chauvin trial. Maxine Waters is still in Congress." . . .

. . . In the interview, Lohmeier discussed the impact of “a neo-Marxist agenda at the ground level within our armed forces.” He condemned Critical Race Theory, explained its Marxist roots, alerted the American public to its proliferation within the American military, and warned that this agenda “will divide us; it will not unify us.” In other words, Lohmeier told the truth. This is verboten — illegal in our post-constitutional America.  . . .

Chicago Mayor Lightfoot Reportedly Only Granting Interviews to ‘Black or Brown Journalists’

As a youth I spoke out often against segregation and the way we treated blacks, now many of their leaders are no better than the Jim Crow supporters I have known. TD

 Legal Insurrection

"I wonder how Lightfoot’s white wife feels about this. I wonder how the Asian and biracial reporters feel about this."

. . . "I have not seen the local reporters expand on the news. I do not know if this only applies to local reporters or all reporters. Will she only call on black and brown journalists at press conferences? So no Asian reporters? Indian reporters? How about bi-racial reporters?

"What if the reporter identifies as Black or Brown?" . . . 


"And I have not seen the local reporters expand on the news. I do not know if this only applies to local reporters or all reporters. Will she only call on black and brown journalists at press conferences? So no Asian reporters? Indian reporters? How about bi-racial reporters?

"Tucker Carlson may have kicked a hornet’s nest by pointing out that the U.S. military is captive to a cultural program that most Americans do not agree with." . . .

Rich Terrell

The Meaning of the Woke Military   "When official Department of Defense spokesmen attacked Tucker Carlson—who criticized the military’s integration of diversity-centered staffing mandates—they exposed a crucial gap between what Americans believe their military to be and the true purpose of our trillion-dollar war machine. What is being interpreted as an escalation in the culture wars is actually about how our regime perceives power itself. 
"The primary purpose of the U.S. military is to protect the global economic status quo, sometimes known as the “neoliberal order” or “the Washington Consensus.” General Officers and Senior Enlisted men responding to Carlson’s remarks about women in combat did so in their official capacity as representatives of the United States Department of Defense, in uniform, using official Twitter accounts without standard disclaimers. While they insisted they were simply “defending their soldiers” from unjust criticism, this superficial claim fails to capture the truth about the unfolding dynamic.
"The debate that is playing out right now about sex, gender, and the military is happening only because we never, as a country, actually had it. We never sat down and had a discussion about the merits of pushing our military services to adopt the goals of gender “neutrality” that have emerged as a cultural Schelling point over the last decade in the civilian world. “We” just did it, through executive orders and mandates within the Defense Department’s civilian leadership. This wasn’t part of any platform or campaign promise that a politician ran on, it wasn’t caused by any organic change in opinion by the general public on women in combat, and it was never talked about outside of semi-closed groups already intimately familiar with the data on the subject. " . . .

Civil Disobedience: Republicans BUCK Pelosi and Refuse to Wear Mask During Floor Vote

Def-Con News  "Civil Disobedience congressional style:

"Several Republicans made a bit of a scene on the House floor yesterday by refusing to follow Pelosi’s mask mandate and calling on her to follow the science. This from therightscoop.cpm.


"We’ve had enough. We are refusing to wear our masks on the floor during this vote in spite of Pelosi’s threat to take $500 from each of us. "Her rule is not based on science. All you need to know is the mask rule has only ever applied to members when they can be seen on TV !"

Good thing this lady wasn't turned loose on the Republicans:

"A Wisconsin high school teacher was caught on camera berating a vaccinated student for not wearing a face mask — calling the teen a “jerk” in the foul rant.

“ 'I don’t care if you’re vaccinated, you little dink!” the teacher in the Poynette school district tells the student in the video.

“ 'I don’t want to get sick and die! There’s other people you can infect just because you’re vaccinated. You know what? You’re not a special person around here,” she continues as the student sits with his back against a wall.

“ 'You should hear about how everyone talks about you around here. You’re a jerk! You’re a jerk and you need to have respect for other people in your life. You’re not a big man on campus — quit walking around here like you have a stick up your butt,” the unidentified woman adds." . . .  Video


Then again, I've encountered kids who could drive a teacher to this.

Will Kamala Harris make Time's Person of the Year?


Don't think much of them myself.

Kamala Harris has an enemies list of the press

. . . In many ways, Harris is merely a non-white version of Hillary Clinton. Both women are possessed by ruthless ambition, yet lack the necessary skills to succeed in politics at the national level. They are most comfortable when regurgitating talking points and platitudes. Objectively speaking, they share a knack for unsettling laughter and launched their political careers by dating powerful men.

"Harris's obsession with keeping track of the politicians and reporters who "don't fully understand her or appreciate her life experience" might seem strange, but it's nothing new. Hillary did the same thing but never got a chance to exact her revenge. Alas, neither will Harris, in all likelihood." . . . 


Self-absorbed Harris has an enemies list of non-fawning press

Mean Girl Kamala Harris Has a Burn Book

. . . Like the West Wing's Regina George, "Harris herself tracks political players and reporters whom she thinks don't fully understand her or appreciate her life experience," the Atlantic explains of the VP's burn book. "The Vice President and her team tend to dismiss reporters" and "trying to get her to take a few questions after events is treated as an act of impish aggression," the profile in cowardice continues.  . . . 

 Why is Kamala Harris so unlikable? She has a little Hillary Clinton problem  "Why is Kamala Harris so unlikable? Regardless of the side of the political spectrum one is on, it perhaps will be conceded by vast sections of the Alerican electorate that Kamala Harris is one of the most disliked politicians at the national scene. Her unpopularity can be gauged from the simple fact that she was forced to drop out of the presidential race even before a single vote was cast in the Democrat primaries.

"It took all of 2 minutes, possibly less than that, for Hawaiian Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to end her presidential campaign. But one suspects the reason why it was so easy for Gabbard to destroy Kamala Harris during the Democratic debates is that she merely confirmed the deep seated suspicions the Democrat voter-base already harboured regarding the Senator from California.

"Tulsi Gabbard exposed the hollow nature of the public image Kamala Harris has built over the years. She spoke about the time when the Senator blocked evidence that would have proved the innocence of a man on death row, she locked up people for marijuana law violations while laughing about it when asked about consuming marijuana herself and these were just a few of a long list of transgressions Kamala Harris had committed over the years." . . .

 On July 31, 2019, Tulsi Gabbard destroyed Kamala Harris' presidential dreams.

Top Retired Officers Are Right: Biden’s Leftism And ‘Woke’ Military Threaten U.S. Security

Yesterday’s military can best be summed up by the motto of West Point: “Honor, Duty, Country.” Today’s motto might better be “Wokeness, Race, Gender.”

 Issues & Insights  "Military officials are trained to stand silently on the sidelines of politics, saying nothing but what relates to their mission, whatever it might be. But a recent open letter signed by 124 former flag-level officers warning of the dangerous effects of our nation’s sharp sudden turn to the left overturns that tradition. What do they know that the rest of us don’t?

The letter was not couched in military jargon or bureaucratese; it was plain-spoken and blunt in its concern about America’s course." . . .

. . . "Such sarcasm wasn’t in evidence back in October 2019, when left-leaning retired Adm. William McRaven in the New York Times called for President Donald Trump’s removal from office, “the sooner, the better.” Note that he didn’t call simply for Trump’s impeachment; the clear implication was he might even support a coup.

"He was seconded later by former Adm. Mike Mullen, Barack Obama’s ex-head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Mullen and McRaven made the media rounds, deriding Trump’s leadership and undermining his administration’s attempts at military reform. In an interview with NBC’s “Meet The Press,” Mullen said he was “very concerned about the Trump loyalists who have now gone to work in the Pentagon.” . . .

. . . "The military’s new Woke politics will not make troops more ready or able to fight. It will only lead to more anger, racial division, sexual grievances, social schisms and a lack of military preparedness. And that will leave us all vulnerable in the next major war, by ignoring or downplaying what our potential enemies are doing.

"Americans of whatever political stripe would be wise to take their former military leaders’ open letter seriously. No doubt, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, both masters of Marxist propaganda, do." . . .
