Tulsi Gabbard Leaves Democratic Party, but remember she is at heart a Democrat

I expect "The View" will become Tulsi 24-7

 Tulsi Gabbard Leaves Democratic Party

[Gabbard] has always been sort of an independent maverick,” Gingrich said. “And I think when she ran for president, she realized how really isolated she was from the great majority of the Democratic Party, which is now, frankly, a pretty weird party. . .


. . ."Gabbard has grown increasingly estranged from the Democratic establishment since her failed candidacy in the 2020 presidential primary. She has also become a vocal critic of President Biden, denouncing him for “pouring fuel on the flames” of division in the country.

"Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich praised Tulsi for ditching the Democrats in a Tuesday statement on Fox News. He argued that she is one of many Americans who traditionally have voted blue but now find the Democrats unrecognizable.

"[Gabbard] has always been sort of an independent maverick,” Gingrich said. “And I think when she ran for president, she realized how really isolated she was from the great majority of the Democratic Party, which is now, frankly, a pretty weird party….I think you’re seeing this drift. And we’ve certainly seen among Latinos a huge drift towards the Republican Party as they’re driven away by the weirder policies of the Democratic Party.”. . .

Tulsi Gabbard’s October surprise: Bye-bye, Democrats!  "With every day that draws closer to the midterm elections, the big question was whether there would be an October surprise and, if so, what that surprise would be. We assumed it would come from the Democrats and either be a sleazy attack on candidates or an announced Armageddon (nuclear war, a new virus, a Jan 6 revolution) that would justify shutting down the election. Instead, the October surprise was that Tulsi Gabbard not only quit the Democrat party, she explicitly stated that she did so because the party has become so awful and anti-American that she can no longer remain.". . .

 Gabbard slammed Democrats as a party “driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism.”  . . ."Gabbard slammed Democrats as a party “driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism.' ”. . .

Make America Serious Again

So, here we have a Nazi helping a Jew with his career. Our woke youngsters might try to understand such twists, for it allows for the possibility of the “good Nazi,” like Claus von Stauffenberg. 

 Jon N. Hall  "Today’s America is not a place for subtlety and nuance. Today’s youth seem especially incapable of handling fine distinctions. No interesting heterodox mix of positions will be tolerated; total conformity is required. Cleave to the party line in toto, lest ye be canceled.

“ 'Cancel Culture” is the new regime whereby one can lose one’s livelihood, one’s reputation, and even one’s friends for not hewing to every last tenet of the reigning orthodoxy. The gay journalist Chadwick Moore learned about the intolerance of left-wing cancelers when he came out as a conservative (italics added):

I began to realize that maybe my opinions just didn’t fit in with the liberal status quo, which seems to mean that you must absolutely hate Trump, his supporters and everything they believe. If you dare not to protest or boycott Trump, you are a traitor.

If you dare to question liberal stances or make an effort toward understanding why conservatives think the way they do, you are a traitor.

"You must kneel before Rome, you must grovel at her feet. For wokesters, it’ll never do to be just “99 and 44/100% pure,” like the old Ivory Soap ads claimed. No, my fair cousin, one needs to be 100% pure. Otherwise, you might just be an anti-social deviant, or maybe even an adherent of deviationism.". . .

FINALLY! Justice For BLM Rioter/Looter Who Brutally Murdered Retired Police Captain David Dorn During George Floyd Riots

100%FedUp


"It’s been over two years since then 24-yr-old looter and murderer Stephan Cannon brutally murdered former St. Louis Police Captain David Dorn, who agreed to watch over his friend’s pawn store during the BLM riots in Minneapolis following the death of convicted felon George Floyd. The murder of David Dorn, who the killers watched bleed out into the street, was so gruesome that social media censors on Twitter and Facebook have removed all traces of the unconscionable act that was caught on video.". . .

. . ."Finally, justice is served in the shooting and killing of David Dorn during a night of looting and rioting in June 2020. Dorn and four officers were struck by bullets, while other officers were pelted with rocks and fireworks and 55 businesses were burglarized or damaged.
Murder rates soared an average of 30 percent across 34 major cities in 2021 and have continued to increase dramatically this year in many places.
Black Lives Matter was calling for the defunding of police departments and, in some cases, were calling for the entire dismantling of police forces. Senselessly, many leaders succumbed to the ridiculous demands of Black Lives Matter, and cities have suffered.". . .


What the heck is wrong with Chicago’s Mayor Lori Lightfoot?

Chicago Black Lives Matter organizer who called looting 'reparations' dismisses peaceful protesting   What do you say, Mayor?

Thomas Lifson  "There is no doubt among those paying attention that Chicago is in crisis. Crime has exploded, with ordinary citizens living in fear of venturing out from their homes. (And, if they live in the wrong neighborhoods, their homes may be shot up as drive-by gang assassination attempts hitting neigboring homes.)

"Mayor Lori Lightfoot may try to downplay the severity of the trendline, but Chicagoans understand the risks they take merely by walking or driving on the streets as recidivist criminals are set free to wreak mayhem again and again on the innocent:

Prosecutors said Friday that a Chicago man on parole for possessing a stolen motor vehicle and on bail for possessing another motor vehicle shot a concealed carry holder during a carjacking attempt in the South Loop.

Cortez Crayton, 24, is the 45th person accused of killing or shooting—or attempting to kill or shoot—someone in Chicago while awaiting trial for a felony this year. The alleged crimes involved at least 83 victims, 21 of whom died.

"Major companies and well-to-do taxpayers are fleeing the city.". . .



‘Treat Them Like S**t’: Democrat Running For Senate Goes On Racist Rant

 Daily Caller  "A South Carolina Democrat running for U.S. Senate appeared to go on a racist tirade against white people in video footage captured by Project Veritas.

"Krystle Matthews, a state representative for the 117th district, was reportedly filmed saying white people need to be treated “like sh*t” in order to gain respect — otherwise they act like children.

“ 'My district is slightly Republican and it’s heavily white. I’m no stranger to white people, I’m from a mostly white town. And let me tell you one thing, you oughta know who you’re dealing with, like, you gotta treat them like shit, like I mean, that’s the only way they respect you.' ”

When a culture separates from God, it elects leaders that produce this: 

. . ." Matthews made waves in June after another Project Veritas leak allegedly showed her talking to inmate David Solomon Ballard at Perry Correctional Institution about gaining support from gang members. Ballard was serving time for threatening law enforcement.

“I still gotta struggle to raise money for my campaign? Where the fuck is my black people with more? I don’t care about no dope money. Give me that dope boy money,” Matthews appeared to say.

Los Angeles Democrats caught on tape guffawing together as one calls blacks monkeys


Monica Showalter  "Every wonder what the most powerful blue-city ruling elites say in private about the people they virtue-signal loudest about in public?

"Wonder no more: A leaked tape of a meeting of powerful Los Angeles City Council leaders, plus a top public employee union leader, lets us know.

"Here's KTLA's report:

Two members of the Los Angeles City Council and a union leader released apology statements Sunday after a report published by the Los Angeles Times included transcribed leaked audio of offensive and racist remarks that were made during a private meeting. A third council member claimed to have no recollection of the conversation.

In the leaked audio, which was summarized by the Times but was originally posted to Reddit and remains readily available on social media, Council President Nury Martinez can be heard making derisive and racist comments about the child of Mike Bonin, the council member representing the 11th District.

Bonin, who is white, has an adopted son who is Black. In the leaked audio, Martinez can be heard describing Bonin’s son as “ese changuito,” or that little monkey, according to the Times. At one point, Martinez also refers to Bonin as a “little bitch.”

"There was other disgusting stuff, too -- a Wikipedia summary notes:. . . "

Democrats running fake local news sites in swing states ahead of midterms

"Six American Independent writers have each contributed to most or all of the sites in the network," Axios reported.

 Just The News   "The Democratic Party is running a string of questionable local news sites to spread messages in favor of their platform ahead of the November midterm elections.

"According to a report from Axios, the network consists of at least 51 sites across 10 battleground states, including Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

"These sites follow a pattern: "aggregated local news content and short write-ups about local sports teams and attractions — interspersed with heavily slanted political news aimed at boosting Democratic midterm candidates and attacking Republican opponents," according to the report.

"The outlet identified the relatively nascent firm Local Report as responsible for operating many of the sites, referencing the "about us" section available on each. Another organization, The American Independent, was identified as a major contributor to the effort.

" 'Six American Independent writers have each contributed to most or all of the sites in the network," the outlet wrote in its report. The American Independent is a left-wing organization owned by True Blue Media, which maintains close ties with former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, per the Epoch Times. Axios also noted TAI's funding of left-wing watchdog Media Matters for America.". . .

Biden: Exit Stage Lost

Obama couldn't speak coherently without a teleprompter, and Biden can't speak coherently even with a teleprompter.  . . . 

 Biden: Exit Stage Lost  The article is quite lengthy; this is just the conclusive thought:

. . ."A politically compromised and corrupt DOJ and FBI continue to target and harass any pro-Constitution Americans not down with American communism, and when they're not covering up their culpability for using the Hillary-Obama Russia collusion scam as part of a running coup d'état against President Trump, they're actively conspiring to foist further spurious charges against him in order to keep him off the '24 ballot.  Insidious censorship has gone so vogue under the malignant socialist State that American corporations, newspapers, "thought leaders," and social media platforms deceptively posing as defenders of free speech all justify viewpoint discrimination, language bans, and punishment for unapproved thoughts.  Members of the military, as well as huge majorities of the private workforce, are still being coerced against their will to accept experimental medical treatments and endure COVID-related crimes against humanity.  

"Biden, picking right up where Obama left off, insists on aiding our enemies in China, Iran,
Venezuela, Cuba, and elsewhere, while browbeating Americans at home for unconsciously engaging in "systemic racism" and other meaningless Marxist claptrap meant to strangle Americans' freedom, self-worth, and initiative with vindictive and morally deficient "collective guilt."  And while ordinary Americans deal with these plentiful — nay, nearly overwhelming — government-created problems, they watch as the useful dotard and aspiring dictator putatively serving as president of the United States continues to use Ukraine as a vehicle for laundering money for friendly cronies and as a playing field for tit-for-tat geopolitical warfare against Russia's Putin while nonchalantly terrorizing the globe with dangerous murmurings of nuclear Armageddon.  

"With the business of the day as serious as it has ever been, why not have a bumbling fool at the helm steering the ship of state — especially when it seems that this time around, the State is intent on driving us directly into the nearest iceberg!  It is as if we were playing Russian roulette with a hundred different life-threatening issues each day — including nuclear gamesmanship with Russia itself — and a corrupt, craven, lobotomized cretin were waving the gun at us all and repeatedly pulling the trigger.  But why should Braindead Biden care?  He gets to fly around on Air Force One, collect undeserved salutes, and prance around on the world stage as mad kings do.  He can escape from the burdens of leadership to his Delaware vacation home and lick pudding pops 'till he gives his Jell-O brain brain freeze.  For those with nowhere else to go, though, the Deep State's lost puppet sure has made a nightmare of the American dream."

Obama To Iran Green Revolution Dissidents: Drop Dead | Investor's Business Daily (investors.com)   "Hadis Najafi, Killed In Karaj, Becomes A New Symbol In Iran For Protest Against Hijab"

 Why Obama Let Iran's Green Revolution Fail - Bloomberg

. . .There was a chance for a better outcome. There is no guarantee that an Obama intervention would have been able to topple Khamenei back in 2009, when his people flooded the streets to protest an election the American president wouldn't say was stolen. But it was worth a try. Imagine if that uprising had succeeded. Perhaps then a nuclear deal could have brought about a real peace. Instead, Obama spent his presidency misunderstanding Iran's dictator, assuring the supreme leader America wouldn't aid his citizens when they tried to change the regime that oppresses them to this day.

DeSantis Reveals What He Told Biden To Get Him To Cooperate After President Had Not Called Prior to Hurricane

Resist the Mainstream

. . ." The president telephoned Florida’s governor not long after the DeSantis response, according to a Daily Wire report.

“ 'Well, I’ll tell you what. I mean, what I told him is that the media was making a big deal that he wasn’t talking to me or whatever, and I told him, I was like, ‘Look, I want to work together for these people. Because these people are from all walks of life. Republicans, Democrats, they expect us to be able to put our differences aside,’” DeSantis said. “And nobody has done more to stand up to this administration than me in Florida over the last year and a half, as you know.”

“ 'But you’ve got to be willing to work together to help folks,” the Florida Republican continued. “And so I think the response from local, state, and federal has been pretty seamless. And I think that’s a testament that, you know what, we as a country can get things done when it counts.' ”. . .

Young women are trending liberal. Young men are not

When leftist personalities are introduced, notice the chorus of young female voices cheering them?

 The Hill  "Young women are more likely to identify as liberal now than at any time in the past two decades, a trend that puts them squarely at odds with young men. 

"Forty-four percent of young women counted themselves liberal in 2021, compared to 25 percent of young men, according to Gallup Poll data analyzed by the Survey Center on American Life. The gender gap is the largest recorded in 24 years of polling. The finding culminates years of rising liberalism among women ages 18 to 29, without any increase among their male peers. 

"Several societal forces have conspired to push young women to the left in recent years, including the #MeToo movement, former President Trump, rising LGBTQ identification and, most recently, abortion policy. Slower-cooking trends in marital status and educational attainment have also nudged the needle. 

"“I think there is a big generational shift that happened with Generation Z women who were really coming of age in the last five years,” said Kelsy Kretschmer, a sociologist at Oregon State University who studies gender politics. 

"The rift between young men and women may widen further. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wadea precedent that had protected abortion as a constitutional right for nearly half a century. The ruling has energized young women. New survey data, released this week, shows that 61 percent of young women consider abortion a critical issue, compared with 36 percent of all Americans.". . . 

Criminal Criticism; in which disagreement equals handcuffs followed by the Streisand effect

The city ought to apologize, invite him back to speak his comments, and amend the rules to comply with the First Amendment.

 Chris Bray, Substack  "This just keeps happening, and I’ll just keep writing about it.

"A 22 year-old Iowa resident named Noah Petersen was arrested this week at a meeting of the Newton City Council after sharply criticizing the town’s police department and refusing to be silent when the mayor told him to stop.

“ 'You are out of order, sir,” and, “Chief, escort this gentleman from the chambers.” Because he criticized the city government. I find the interrupted comment lumpy and cartoonish — more about this in a moment — but it doesn’t matter: The First Amendment protects dumb speech, too.
