"I Warned You" -

 The Lid    "Four short months ago, I warned the Jen Psaki haters that the incoming White House press secretary was going to be worse than the redhead. Karine Jean-Pierre, the Republican-hating, low-IQ leftist, has proven me correct.

"Despite never being challenged by any non-Fox News member of the press corps, Jean-Pierre still comes across as inept and foolhardy.

"Recently, Sen. Ted Cruz invited President Joe Biden to finally visit the Mexico-United States border and see the tragedies her White House created and ignored. Cruz is notorious for craving attention, but this was a reasonable suggestion.

"In response, Jean-Pierre angrily responded, “I certainly don’t need lectures or invitations from Republicans about the border or border policies.”

"What did the “glass shattering” fool mean?

"Apparently, in 2018, as the Trump administration was “tearing babies out of their mothers’ arms,” Jean-Pierre supposedly visited on behalf of hard left moveon.org, where she worked.

"Her mythical experience offered no plan, of course, and her lies will never be fact-checked.". . .

Sanctuaries get what they asked for

 I Have A Few Questions About The Martha's Vineyard Migrant Kerfuffle - The Federalist  Then again, why has a story about 50 migrants spending a couple of days on Martha’s Vineyard garnered far more coverage and outrage from the media and left punditry than 51 migrants being cooked alive in a tractor-trailer only last month?

Liberals Get A Taste Of Their Own Illegal Invasion And Are Throwing Temper Tantrums (allnewspipeline.com)

Biden Agrees to Close Gaps in Border Wall as Migrant Crisis Hits DC | Neon Nettle

The U-turn from the Biden White House comes following a decision by Republican governors to transport thousands of illegal border crossers to the nation’s capital.

In this case, as in others, they are decrying the inevitable results of their own policies and blaming everything on Republicans.   

. . ."They're not particularly good at being sanctuaries, are they?  Busing immigrants to Florida, sending them back to Texas, etc., and publicly proclaiming: "Crisis!  We can't handle them!  You must deal with them, not we!"  Hypocrisy, thy name is Democrat. ". . .

This heartbreaking work of staggering genius is worth more than one listen. It is as if Prather was strumming the pain of those residing in Martha’s Vineyard and singing their thoughts with his words. But even more than that, it was a melodious and insightful reminder that progressive types couldn’t care less about the people they claim to champion – unless they have a use politically.

"How do you people live like this? You have to pay $1000 per month for a team of white ladies named 'Karen' to come to inspect your hedges and whine when you don't do them right? This is hell on earth!". . ."I feel betrayed by Governor Ron DeSantis," said another unfortunate migrant, speaking through a translator. "He told me there would be jobs and housing up here, but instead I found a den swarming with uppity white liberals and wealthy career criminals. This is so inhumane."

News of the Queen’s passing has been met with mixed emotions in some parts of the country, particularly among Black communities, and within countries once colonised by Britain. These feelings range from indifference to celebration.

MSNBC guest claims Queen Elizabeth symbolized ‘White supremacy’: ‘Not sure why I should be sad today’ | Fox News  "Birmingham City University professor Kehinde Andrews told MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi that he wasn’t sad about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II because she represented “White supremacy” and “colonialism.”

"The professor made his comments during Velshi’s Saturday MSNBC special, titled “Remembering Queen Elizabeth II.” Velshi, who seemed quite keen on discussing the British monarchy’s history of “colonialism” during the memorial, prompted Andrews by asking, “How do you express colonialism? What’s the short form of the effect of colonialism today? Was it bad?' ”

Who lives in Martha's Vineyard?

Not these people: Martha's Vineyard migrants sent to Cape Cod; Mass. calls National Guard (nypost.com)  . . ."Three buses rolled up to St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Edgartown to take the mostly Venezuelan migrants on the first leg of their journey from the elite island of multimillion-dollar mansions — including a seven-bedroom home owned by former President Barack Obama — to Joint Base Cape Cod on the mainland.

"The National Guard members will supplement work already underway by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, Gov. Charlie Baker’s office said in a statement.". . .

. . ."Martha’s Vineyard isn’t just cool because it was the location of Jaws (the movie) in 1974. Or because the Obamas like to cozy up on a 28-acre plot of land on the island. Martha’s Vineyard is a full-on way of life for those who regularly make their summer trips here. Celebrities like Bill Murray, Meg Ryan, Reese Witherspoon, Mike Wallace, and even Princess Diana have all regularly visited. A number of them, such as Michael J Fox, have called the Vineyard their home.

Ron DeSantis scorched by MSNBC's Morning Joe for his latest 'petulant and childish' meltdown on COVID - Raw Story - Celebrating 18 Years of Independent Journalism

 Joe Scarborough tore into Florida Governor Ron Desantis and Texas Governor Greg Abbott over stunts in which they dropped desperate migrants in Martha’s Vineyard and outside Vice President Kamala Harris‘s residence, respectively. He called the stunts “grotesque” and “political human trafficking.”

Planeloads of migrants were shown arriving in Massachusetts Wednesday in a video provided to Fox News, and the Abbott buses were captured Thursday morning by Fox News cameras outside the official VP’s residence at the Naval Observatory — just the latest in a series of stunts in which Republican governors relocate asylum-seekers to make a political point.

. . ."As Axios reported, “Klain’s private comments are yet another indication the White House has a core set of priorities it plans to fight for” … even if the president doesn’t know about it fully yet.

"Klain’s real message: Don’t worry, we staff will make sure Biden does what we say.

"But that’s just one example!

"The next two years is going to be a wild ride, as Joe Biden isn’t calling the shots, believe me on this. He’s got the title of president of the United States but none of the authority because the government is being run by Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron Klain & Company under the absolute control and direction of Sen. Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib.

"The left knew when they chose Biden to be the Democratic presidential nominee that he didn’t have the stamina or cognitive abilities to handle the job of president. That’s why the left chose him, they needed a person, just a warm body, living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who would just do as he’s told and not ask questions.

"However, after a recent investigation, we actually found who is running our country.

"It seems that Obama’s third term is not just a wish for the former POTUS.

"There are actually three women inside Joe’s admin who are working together to operate this show for Obama, and we identify who they are.". . .

“I’m sorry, I took control. I shouldn’t do that. I’m not allowed to do that,” said Biden as his handlers kicked out the press."

 DeSantis Makes More Moves Against Swanky White People Island… 

DeSantis took credit for the flights, saying they were part of the state’s efforts to move migrants to liberal “sanctuary” areas that have said they welcome the influx of immigrants into the country. Republican governors of Texas and Arizona have done the same, sending busloads of immigrants to Washington, D.C., New York City, and Chicago.

DeSantis Is Just Masterfully Trolling Impotent Libs Now – PJ Media  "Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s manhandling of pretty much all of the American left these past two years has been must-watch political theater. From the moment he opted to offer freedom to the citizens of his state rather than become a COVID panic-porn fascist, he’s been triggering Democratic politicians and the false narrative smear merchants in the mainstream media.

"Much to the delight of those of us who are DeSantis fans, the idiots on the left keep coming back for more.

"DeSantis got in on the recent Republican governor trend of sending illegal immigrants to areas run by Democrats by flying 50 of them to — and here’s the stroke of genius — Martha’s Vineyard.

"That’s right, he sent them to the place where the liberal bleeding hearts are the bloodiest and full of the “migrants welcome” spirit.". . .

Cruz explained he was “confused” why Martha’s Vineyard officials used “crisis” language to describe the “haven” for illegal immigrants that Chatinover said he would “love” to create. The Texas senator continued highlighting left-wing hypocrisy on illegal immigration and the border crisis by tweeting, “If 50 constitutes a humanitarian crisis in Martha’s Vineyard, what the h-ll is 4.2 MILLION?” As of last month, 4.2 million foreigners had crossed the border illegally since Biden took office.

Belcastro can ask the former president to use some of that space. He could likely fit 50 illegal aliens in his living room alone. 


Lori Lightfoot Drops Biden With the Priceless Words We've Been Waiting to Hear About Illegal Aliens

 Lori Lightfoot Drops Biden With the Priceless Words We've Been Waiting to Hear About Illegal Aliens – RedState  "We saw the left melting down on Thursday after Texas bused illegal aliens to Kamala Harris’ house in Washington, D.C., and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent 50 illegal aliens up to Martha’s Vineyard where the liberal elite like Barack Obama live and take vacations. They can’t even handle 50 illegal aliens without declaring an emergency, while border towns deal with thousands every day.

"Texas began sending illegal aliens to Chicago, a sanctuary city, in August. Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s office claimed that they would be welcoming. “As a person of faith, I believe we must see God’s presence in all human beings,” Lightfoot said. “That’s what being a good Christian is.”

"The “good Christian” was lying, because once they arrived, Lightfoot rounded them up and then shipped them out to suburbs like Burr Ridge. Lori Lightfoot had blasted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for treating the migrants like “cargo” and not providing her with advance notice they were arriving. But then, she turned around and did the same thing.".  .  .
