Ayanna Pressley Deletes Tweet Supporting Will Smith for Slapping Chris Rock


 Neon Nettle  

. . ." 'Squad" member Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., rushed to support Will Smith when he slapped Chris Rock after Rock made a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith at the Oscars.

"Yet Pressley appears to have deleted the tweet mere minutes later.

"After Rock made a joke about a sequel to "G.I. Jane," apparently referring to Pinkett Smith's bald head, Smith reportedly rushed on stage, slapped Rock in the face, and then returned to his seat.

"Pinkett Smith has been open about her struggle with hair loss.

"Pressley appeared to identify with Pinkett Smith in her tweet.

"She used the word Alopecia, the medical term for bald.". . .

Who Is Really Running the Destroy-America Biden Regime?

 


The Blue State Conservative   The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States. George Soros, hedge-fund billionaire.

"In today’s chaotic political landscape, it is obvious that the Democrat Party in power is comprised largely of far-left radicals, many of them shockingly anti-American and predictably anti-Semitic  (as are all deranged leftists)."
"After all, with Barack Obama, they thought they were significantly closer to their 100-year goal of a socialist-cum-communist America, and believed that “President” Hillary would fulfill their cherished fantasy.". . .

But as with most everything that emerges from the swamp these days, the name of the new tax doesn’t match with what it actually does.". . .

Tulsi Gabbard Jumps All Over Ketanji Brown Jackson “I’m Not A Biologist” Comment

“The hypocrisy and absurdity of this is that she was nominated by President Biden in large part because she is a woman.”


"Tulsi Gabbard went off on SCOTUS nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s inability to define a “woman.”

"Brown Jackson told Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) that she’s not a biologist so she cannot define a woman.

(1/2) In order to have a Supreme Court committed to protecting the rights of all Americans, including women, every justice needs to understand there is such a thing as a woman, as distinct from a man. Yet when asked to define the word “woman,” Supreme Court nominee …

 KBJ Hearings Typify Our Debased Political Discourse - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  

 . . ."It is a virulent new strain of an old malady that George Orwell famously wrote about in his 1946 essay, “Politics and the English Language,” a rebuke of politicians, journalists, and academics who use deceptive language to conceal their ideological objectives: “The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.” This is how the hopelessly disorganized Jan. 6 Capitol riot became an “insurrection.” It is how differing outcomes between identity groups became “systemic racism.” Orwell also discusses political words that have been rendered meaningless by dishonest usage:

The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable’. The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice, have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another.…

Who’s Running the Biden Regime?

 

CauseACTION Clarion  (From https://spectator.org/whos-running-the-biden-regime/)

Who’s in charge of our foreign policy? Is it the President or the Secretary of State? If it’s the President, then where did Blinken get the authority to publicly contradict Biden?

. . ." And, as with all things pertaining to the Biden regime, will the corporate media ask any of the above questions? Will they show any interest in learning who in our government is actually making the decisions or how those decisions are being made? Will they even ask why cleaning up and “walking back” Joe Biden’s dangerous and sub-mental remarks has become a regular feature of our government?

"Of course not. The corporate media comprise the propaganda bureau of the Biden regime. They helped put him in the White House, and, as far as they are concerned, there’s nothing to see here and no cause for alarm.

"But let me leave you with this parting thought. Joe Biden holds the nuclear launch codes and is responsible for making — in a matter of minutes — the decision to retaliate if Russia, Communist China, or whoever attacks us with nuclear weapons. Does anyone really believe that he is mentally up to the task of making a correct and timely decision to respond to such an attack? And does Biden’s obviously debilitated mental state increase the risk that an enemy will conclude that it may attack us without fear of retaliation?

"Put another way, does Biden’s obvious dementia effectively vitiate the deterrent effect of our nuclear arsenal and consequently pose a clear and present danger to our very existence?

"Sleep well, America. Joe Biden, the world’s most prominently confused and debilitated geriatric patient, is standing guard."

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   . . ."In less time than a normal human pregnancy, putative president Biden managed to accomplish the following:

Crashed our booming economy,
Destroyed our energy independence,
Opened our southern border to hundreds of thousands of illegals––many of them diseased, drug- and sex-traffickers, career criminals, jihadists, et al,
Accelerated Iran’s production of nukes,
Promised the disaster of hyperinflation,
Expressed “great confidence in” the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, after the General––prodded by his dominatrix, Nancy Pelosi?, as the NY Post’s Miranda Devine suggested––conspired with China against President Trump and told military officials not to take orders from him.
Orchestrated the disastrous pullout from Afghanistan––another Milley debacle––leaving behind, to this day, hundreds of stranded Americans and Afghan allies, billions of dollars of U.S. armaments and Black Hawk helicopters and airplanes, massive troves of the rare-earth mineral lithium (“the new oil,” as Dave Hodges reports), as well as Taliban-Isis-Al Qaeda terrorists in charge, and 11 heroic but dead U.S. Marines.
 


Honestly, the 25th Amendment was crafted for just such a situation as we are now in with Biden. Yet at least two things militate against this from happening. 1) His handlers are running things anyway, and 2) Kamala, though not mentally incompetent — just stupid — could be worse. — David Limbaugh (@DavidLimbaugh) March 26, 2022

The January 6 Witch Hunt Kills a Good Man - American Thinker   "If you enquire with anyone — even those who follow right-leaning media such as Fox News — about Matthew Perna, the response will likely be ignorance.

"This is nothing short of tragic.  Even more tragic is the unspeakable suffering Perna endured at the hands of the imposing state that left him despondent, disheartened, and dispirited, such that he resorted to suicide as his path to peace.

"What was his crime?. . ."


. . ."But instead, the Washington establishment, hell-bent on destroying President Trump and his MAGA movement, and silencing their political opponents, used the likes of Matt as pawns in their ugly campaign of vengeance.

"What a heartbreaking ending to a kind, gentle, passionate, and talented soul and a patriot.  There was so much to live for and so much he could have achieved.  He would have brought joy to so many.

"Alas, all that is left are his memories.  Sadly, even his memories will not be spared by his persecutors.  In reports of his death, Matt is referred to as a rioter, and they mention him pleading guilty without any context. 

"These are the same people who eulogized George Floyd, who, between 1997 and 2005, was convicted of eight crimes and served four years in prison for aggravated robbery in a home invasion.  They also express undying support BLM rioters, arsonists, and looters.

"With Matt's passing, the powers that be in Washington and the media have blood on their hands.". . .

4 Big Takeaways From The New York Times’s Attempt To Control The Hunter Biden Narrative

 The Federalist

A closer look at The New York Times’ reporting on Hunter Biden shows Biden’s team may be laying the groundwork ahead of an even bigger story.

"Last Wednesday, The New York Times reported on the continuing criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, and in doing so finally acknowledged the emails recovered from the laptop abandoned at a Delaware repair shop were authentic. Since then, much of the media’s coverage has focused on the corrupt press’ burying of the laptop scandal The New York Post broke shortly before the 2020 election.

"There is much more to be gleaned from the Times’s article, though, including these four takeaways.

  • 1. If the Laptop Is Legit, So Are the Scandals the Laptop Exposed  
"The first key takeaway from The New York Times article concerns what it means for the scandals spawned by the October 2020 release of the emails and text messages contained on Hunter Biden’s MacBook. The supposed standard-bearers of journalism ignored those scandals for the last year-and-a-half by framing the material “Russian disinformation.”
"Now that the Times has acknowledged that the Biden-related emails and other documents recovered from the abandoned laptop are authentic, that means the scandals they exposed are also legitimate. As summarized at The Federalist here, there are eight Joe Biden scandals that deserve investigation.
  • 2. The Times’s Record of ‘Getting Ahead of the Story’ Suggests More Developments Are Coming . . .
  • 3. Prosecutors are Investigating Some Serious Stuff. . .
  • 4. Downplay the Charges, Build the Narrative, and Beta-Test the Defenses. . .

The Corruption of the Biden Regime Is Now in Plain Sight

. . ."Perhaps the moment came with the New York Times‘ backhanded acknowledgment that the Hunter Biden laptop poses some extremely troubling questions about the integrity of the Bidens. This was stunning, as readers of The American Spectator know all too well how the New York Times and all the court media did a very successful job of effectively censoring this story, which would have been deadly to Joe Biden’s campaign had it been believed.". . .

No, AOC, Humans Are Not Killing the Earth

BUSTED! Leaked Photos Reveal AOC Was ‘Crying’ Over an EMPTY PARKING LOT In Her Staged ‘Emotional’ Photos – enVolve (en-volve.com)

 No, AOC, Humans Are Not Killing the Earth - American Thinker  . . ."For radicals like AOC, here are two solutions.  One is to drastically reduce the carbon footprint of every human being on the planet.  This could be accomplished by mandating electric vehicles or no car at all, and by using taxation and zoning to force humans into smaller, more efficient apartments.

"But housing and transportation would not be enough.  It would be necessary to slash electricity and other utility usages, since power plants are the largest source of man-made greenhouse gas emissions, and to outlaw animal products such as meat, eggs, and dairy.  It would also be necessary to limit travel and restrict land use so as to return land to its state of nature.". . .

. . ."That option is to reduce the number of human beings on Earth, be it by forced sterilization, birth control, abortion, or voluntary or mandatory euthanasia.  While they do not always admit it, radicals like AOC have been pushing this option for decades.  They envision a planet happily free of human industry and development — a lot like the primitive communal settlement depicted at the end of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.  Or a planet free of humans entirely.". . .


Russia-Ukraine war: Biden says ‘Russia has strangled democracy’

India: The Statesman Limited   "As Russia tries to gain a stronghold in Ukraine, US President Joe Biden while speaking in Warsaw, Poland, said Russia has “strangled democracy” adding that its President Vladimir Putin is lying in a bid to justify the war.

"Biden said, “Today, Russia has strangled democracy and sought to do so elsewhere, not only in his homeland. Under false claims of ethnic solidarity, he’s invalidated neighbouring nations. Putin has the gall to say he’s ‘denazifying Ukraine.’ It’s a lie. It’s just cynical. He knows that. And it’s also obscene. President Zelensky was democratically elected. He’s Jewish. His father’s family was wiped out in the Nazi Holocaust. And Putin has the audacity, like all our autocrats before him, to believe that might will make right,” reported CNN News.

“ 'Over the last 30 years, the forces of autocracy have revived all across the globe. Its hallmarks are familiar ones: contempt for the rule of law, contempt for democratic freedom, contempt for the truth itself,” he added.

"Biden, in his speech, slammed Putin for condemning the NATO alliance. “A criminal wants to portray NATO enlargement as an imperial project aimed at destabilizing Russia. Nothing is further from the truth. NATO is a defensive alliance. It has never sought the demise of Russia,” Biden stated in his address.

"The US President also referenced US President Abraham Lincoln’s quote, “right makes might”, in his speech. Biden reiterated his stance on the Russian war in Ukraine and said that Putin is challenging the rules-based international order.". . .

Would this be considered "strangling democracy"?






'This man cannot remain in power': Biden says Putin should no longer be leader of Russia in a fiery speech in Poland - but the White House frantically backtracks after

 Daily Mail Online

Polish President Andrzej Duda listens as President Joe Biden delivers a
speech about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, at the Royal Castle

"President Joe Biden went directly after Vladimir Putin in an emotional speech on Saturday, where he said the Russian president 'cannot remain in power' and warned if Putin's ambitions went unchecked it could lead to decades of war in Europe. 

" 'For god's sake this man cannot remain in power,' he said of Putin, describing the Russian president as having a 'craving for absolute power and control.'

"The Kremlin reacted furiously at the quote and the White House moved quickly to clear it up, saying Biden was not calling for a regime change in Moscow. 

" 'The President's point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. He was not discussing Putin's power in Russia, or regime change,' a White House official said. 

"The Biden administration has taken care to not call for a regime change in Russia, knowing Putin would see it as an escalation.

" 'This is not to be decided by Mr. Biden,' Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in response. 'It should only be a choice of the people of the Russian Federation.' 

"Biden's remarks came after he made an emotional visit to some of the more than 3 million Ukrainians who have been evacuated their war-torn country and as Russia rained bombs down on the Ukrainian town of Lviv, just a few hundred miles away from Biden's location in Warsaw.    

"In his fiery speech, Biden drew a stark line between democracy and oppression, repeatedly going after Putin and accusing the Russian president of dishonesty.". . .

Could Biden gaffe us into world war three? | The Spectator


Yet this was Biden’s third potentially world war three-triggering blunder in as many days. On Thursday, at the G7 summit, he told the press that if Russia used chemical weapons, his country would ‘respond in kind’. Did he really mean the US would breach international law if Russia did? We just have to hope he didn’t.

 . . ."But the more awkward truth about Biden is that he always has had an almost supernatural ability to say not just the wrong thing but the worst thing. He was called the ‘gaffe machine’ long before people started asking if he was all there upstairs.". . .


"Alzheimer's sanctions"?....Biden’s brain broke again, this time with a dangerous remark about Putin

 Andrea Widburg

Laughably, Biden said that, despite the Cold War’s end, the battle continues against “the forces of autocracy”: “Its hallmarks are familiar ones: contempt for the rule of law, contempt for democratic freedom, contempt for the truth itself.” Strange words from the most corrupt man ever to occupy the office, a compulsive liar, and the president under whom the January 6 detainees have languished for over a year in jail, without bail or functional access to attorneys. 


. . ."The speech went on and on, with Cold War platitudes, half-truths, self-aggrandizement, and boasts about destroying Russia’s economy and stealing the private wealth of Russian citizens, even though America is not at war with Russia. “As a result of these unprecedented sanctions, the ruble almost is immediately reduced to rubble.”

"There was the creepy echo of Biden’s story about the kids playing with his hairy legs: “I didn’t have to speak the language or understand the language to feel the emotion in their eyes, the way they gripped my hand, and little kids hung on to my leg....”

"And of course, he yelled, mumbled, and stumbled. Grandpa Simpson was on full display.

"Biden wrapped up the speech by touting clean energy, ignoring (a) that Biden has been begging Iran, Venezuela, and the Saudis for their dirty energy and (b) that there will never be enough clean energy to go around as long as leftists reject nuclear energy.

"Then, just when he seemed finally to be done speaking, Biden casually threw in a spontaneous threat to overthrow or even assassinate Putin: “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.' ”

Kremlin says it's not for Biden to say if Putin stays in power - SWI swissinfo.ch

. . ."Dmitry Rogozin, the outspoken head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, suggested mockingly on social media that the clarification of Biden's latest remarks had come from the White House medical unit.

"Rogozin has previously derided what he called "Alzheimer's sanctions" imposed on Russia by the United States over the war in Ukraine, which Moscow calls a special military operation."

. . .In fact, more than 7 in 10 military servicemen and women do not believe Joe Biden is competent enough to do the job of commander-in-chief. If that poll came out under Donald Trump, every American would’ve heard about it.”

Ben Sasse to Vote ‘No’ on Jackson’s Supreme Court Nomination, Threatening Judiciary Committee’s Approval


 Conservative Playlist   . . ."If a majority of Judiciary Committee members do not vote to approve Jackson’s nomination, the vote may result in an 11-11 tie between Republicans and Democrats, forwarding her nomination to the Senate floor with additional procedural steps, meaning the nomination does not have the committee’s recommendation, which under other circumstances is often fatal.

A full Senate vote could then mean moderate Democrats may oppose Jackson’s nomination because of her record of soft sentencing on child pornography cases.

In his statement, Sasse said he opposes Jackson’s nomination because of a lack of any judicial philosophy, which she should have made “clear and understandable” for the committee.

“Judge Jackson is an extraordinary person with an extraordinary American story. We both love this country, but we disagree on judicial philosophy and I am sadly unable to vote for this confirmation,” Sasse said .". . .
