Have California’s Democrats made a couple of serious errors?

  Two news stories suggest that California Democrats have alienated major constituencies in that once lovely and now benighted state. Bookworm Room

The state’s bait-and-switch will not go over well with blacks. It doesn’t matter that the reparations task force got greedy. Having seen their “worth,” they will feel cheated. That may be reflected in their votes (assuming, of course, that any legal votes are ever counted in California).

. . ."First, there was the reparations fiasco. When the state authorized a task force to consider reparations, I’m sure Democrats thought the demands would be reasonable: free education at state colleges and universities, tax refunds, nominal cash demands, etc. Instead, the reparations committee claimed blacks are entitled $1.2 million per person plus other types of reparations (no taxes, free college, even free homes, etc.). Given that California has been busy sowing the wind, it should have known that it would reap the whirlwind.

"Gavin Newsom, whose values are all wrong but who is no fool, realized that the $800 billion bill for reparations (2.5 times California’s annual budget) was unsustainable, so he did the only thing possible: He said no. However, blacks who are paying attention have noticed that the state is always able to direct huge sums of money to the illegal aliens who are decreasing housing stock, taking jobs, and diluting blacks’ political power:". . .

Regarding reparations, they should make it clear that Dems don’t keep their promises. And when it comes to pork, they should trumpet the fact that Democrats, given the chance, will starve their citizens and that they value animal lives over human lives.

Obama torpedoed U.S. relations with Russia -- to perpetuate lies about Trump, Durham report found

 Obama torpedoed U.S. relations with Russia -- to perpetuate lies about Trump, Durham report found - American Thinker

That's the old Obama we know however, and now he's disgraced us on the world stage as a dishonest sleazeball country, not a nation founded on fairness and democracy. His act and the acts of the Deep State were not only detrimental to democracy here, they were very detrimental to foreign policy abroad. . . 

. . ."So Obama's wrath was nothing but a fiction to protect the partisan Democrat narrative that they had been promoting about Trump and the Russians, which originated from the embittered political camp of losing Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton.

"How would you feel about that if you were a Russian, especially now, reading that it was all a political hoax with you the one chosen to be the whipping boy? You got sanctioned, you got kicked out, you got travel bans, you incurred costs, and some "name and shame" all based on lies.

"Might you start thinking of the U.S. as kind of a sleazy, dishonest player on the world scene? Would you have problems trusting them? Might you step up your activities against it? It would seem natural.

"The Russians, remember, had already calculated by their own devices that Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 election and the Kremlin was planning for that, so they were as surprised as anyone that the American voters thought otherwise when the election results came in in November 2016.

"That they were blamed for the result and sanctioned for hacking and colluding they didn't do, and knew they didn't do, and knew that Obama knew they didn't do, surely must have made them angry.". . .

Ending the lies -

  Don Surber (substack.com)


"Brandon Straka, a gay man and former liberal, heads his Walk Away campaign to get others to quit the Democrat Party. He tweeted the other day:

They lied to you about Donald Trump.

They lied about Brett Kavanaugh.

They lied about children in cages.

They lied about #WalkAway.

They lied about the election outcome.

They lied about the Covington Kids.

They lied about Jussie Smollett.

And yes, oh yes…

They lied about Russian Collusion.

Scrolling down the responses, I saw where Kari Lake tweeted, “They lied about Covid origins and vaccines” and she tweeted, “They lied to you about elections.”

A less famous person tweeted:

They lied about mandates.

They lied about ivermectin.

They are still lying about vaccine injuries.

They lied about CRT.

They lied about Kyle Rittenhouse.

American Conservative tweeted, “Barack Obama didn’t sit in Jeremiah Wright's church because he was a good guy, wasn't racist, and loved America.

“He sat in that church because he was the opposite of those things.

“Never a day goes by that we don’t feel the repercussions of his disastrous presidency.

“The Durham Report revealed last week that Obama is guilty of orchestrating a government coup against his successor, setting up everything in place to ensure Hell was unleashed on Trump by the FBI using false allegations and fake evidence dreamed up by Team Hillary but put to use in the Deep State by Obama." . . .

Los Angeles Dodgers Apologize, Re-Invite Anti-Catholic 'Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence' Trans Nuns to Pride Night - Fans Respond

  The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila


. . ."After backlash from the group, the Dodgers decided to re-invite them back on the field June 16 for pride night.

“After much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities, honest conversations within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and generous discussions with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the Los Angeles Dodgers would like to offer our sincerest apologies to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, members of the LGBTQ+ community and their friends and families,” the Dodgers said Monday night.

“We have asked the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to take their place on the field at our 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night on June 16th. We are pleased to share that they have agreed to receive the gratitude of our collective communities for the lifesaving work that they have done tirelessly for decades,” the organization said.

“In the weeks ahead, we will continue to work with our LGBTQ+ partners to better educate ourselves, find ways to strengthen the ties that bind and use our platform to support all of our fans who make up the diversity of the Dodgers family,” they said.". . .

Comments from fans:  You are cowards to cave to anti-Catholic neo-Marxist drag queens. You are thumbing your nose at all your Christian fans. Did you learn nothing from the Bud Light boycott?

When the Dodgers come to Tampa they might be playing in front of an empty stadium. Florida is not California and that is very much cowardice on their part. They pick their side

Biden DOJ Formally Shut Down Clinton Foundation "Investigation" in August 2021 - FBI Destroyed All Evidence!

  The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila


"Biden’s corrupt Justice Department shut down their ‘investigation’ into the Clinton Foundation in August 2021, according to FOIA documents obtained by the New York Times.

"The FBI then ‘returned’ or destroyed all of the evidence!

“The Justice Department kept open the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s family foundation for nearly all of President Donald J. Trump’s administration, with prosecutors closing the case without charges just days before he left office.” The New York Times reported.

"The DOJ investigated the Clinton Foundation’s relationships with foreign donors while Hillary Clinton was the head of the Department of State during Obama’s presidency.

"Thanks to Judicial Watch, the American public was made aware of Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

"Hillary Clinton conducted official business on a non government server so she could hide her Clinton Foundation pay-to-play while she was head of the Department of State.

"According to emails obtained by Judicial Watch, Hillary Clinton gave preferential treatment to Clinton Foundation donors while she was Secretary of State.

"In fact Judge Royce Lamberth previously said Clinton’s use of a private emails was “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.” . . .    And she joked about it!

Sanctuary Cities Are Reaping What They Sowed

 The Daily Wire


Letter: Sanctuary cities are reaping what they sow | Editorial | riponpress.com

"Aren’t New York City and DC sanctuary cities?

" 'So why is NYC’s Mayor Adams and DC’s Mayor Browser upset that Texas Governor Abbott is transporting buses of illegal aliens to their cities?

"Abbott invited both mayors to the southern border to see firsthand how “[southern border towns] are being overrun by people illegally crossing.”

"Their response was, “…instead of a photo-op, we hope Governor Abbot will focus his energy and resources on providing support to asylum seekers…”

"In 2019, Adams said, “NYC will remain a sanctuary city.”

"But now he is saying, “…Abbott is anti-American. ... He is betraying American ideals.”

"Adams had the audacity to ask for federal funding because of the illegal immigrants bused to NYC.

"Browser said when she was elected, “We respect all DC residents no matter their immigration status.”

"But now she is saying, “[the number of migrants] has reached a tipping point…local taxpayers should not pick up the tab.”

"Biden’s policies and those in sanctuary cities cause this unprecedented increase in illegal immigration. 4,000 people daily — on average — illegally enter, so why should border town citizens pick up the tab?

"Why should sanctuary cities receive federal resources to fund housing, medical care, education, etc., for people who enter illegally when border towns don’t?

"More than 2 million people illegally entered this fiscal year according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. There are still 2 months left this fiscal year.

"This doesn’t even include the estimated 1 million “got aways.” And 1.8 million people illegally crossed in fiscal year 2021.

"How else can Abbott get Biden and the Democrats’ attention?" . . .

Network Wants to Giver Tucker a Job — And It's Way Bigger Than His Old Show -

 Analyzing America   "Inside sources interviewed by TMZ revealed that Tucker Carlson has a major job offer.

"The conservative media outlet Newsmax doesn’t simply want to give Carlson a show, they reportedly want him to run the entire channel.

"TMZ reported that “sources with direct knowledge” confirmed that Newsmax is “floating the idea of letting him program the whole channel, not just his own show.”

Sen. Tim Scott officially throws his hat in the ring – and does an impressive interview on FOX News

 The man also thinks that fatherlessness in the black community is a problem. Again, until someone addresses that, things won’t get better. Andrea Widberg

Peter Barry Chowka - American Thinker

Biden will refer to Tim Scott as a white supremacist in three...two...one...

. . ."Scott’s interesting and impressive background and career are reasonably and fairly objectively documented at his Wikipedia bio. The lengthy page and the references it cites are a compelling read. My impression of Scott over the years, confirmed by the chronology and highlights of his career, is that he is a man of deep conviction who is extremely articulate in expressing his conservative viewpoint.

"And so it was when he appeared on the FOX News channel Monday evening (video here). Needless to say, he received a cordial reception from his former Republican colleague in the Congress, Trey Gowdy, who was guest hosting the hour on FOX for the first of five nights from New York City.  On Sunday nights for the past year, Gowdy has hosted Sunday Night in America from Charleston, S.C., on FOX at 7 PM ET, sometimes repeated later in the evening.

"Gowdy, an attorney and former prosecutor, is a skillful interviewer, and the transcript of his conversation with Scott, provided by FOX News, is an interesting read. In particular, Scott is capable of taking excellent advantage of the brief time that is allotted to most guests on the cable news channels. And so it was yesterday evening.". . .

Observations from Sen. Tim Scott’s presidential candidacy announcement UPDATED -Andrea Widberg   . . ."Scott’s values are conservative. He’s deeply religious, and he believes in a post-racial America. He says that all able-bodied people should work, that we need a strong border, that the economy must be unchained, that we need to unleash America’s ability to produce energy, that our military must be the strongest in the world, that the police matter (especially in poor communities beset by crime), and that our children should be educated not indoctrinated. The only hot conservative issue that he didn’t touch upon was transgenderism, although I felt that fell under the “educated, not indoctrinated” rubric.". . .

Tim Scott fires back at 'The View's racially charged attacks: 'My life disproves the lies of the radical left' (msn.com)

. . ."On the left-leaning talk show, "The View" host Whoopi Goldberg suggested Scott has "Clarence Thomas syndrome." Thomas, a conservative U.S. Supreme Court justice from neighboring Georgia, has long been attacked by the left for not toeing what they believe is the proper jurisprudential line based on his skin color.

"Goldberg's co-host Sunny Hostin further claimed one of Scott's "issues" is that he believes because he "made it" coming from an impoverished Black family in the South, "everyone can make it.' " . . .

The easy way to identify the Loony Left -

 American Thinker  "If you have ever wondered how to instantly identify the Loony Left and its modicum of core mental competency and sanity, you have to wonder no more. Leftists have just made it much easier." . . .


. . ."The true leftist identifier has now moved from style to the actual words they speak. Republicans and even middle-of-the-road Americans speak in coherent sentences. We are able to elucidate our points clearly. We then listen to the other side. Assuming the other side is intelligent, informed, and has bathed that week, we can usually have a meaningful discussion with them. Of course, forget Dems in DC. Trying to teach MumblesGiggles, or Fetterman to speak coherently would be like trying to teach a pig to dance: It will never work, and it just angers the pig.

"The new radical left can only speak by chanting some phrase, usually translated from one of Trotsky’s diatribes against the West. All that leftists do is repeat the same senseless phrase over and over.". . .

‘Reverend’ Al Sharpton Outdoes Himself in Disgraceful Display During Jordan Neely Funeral

 Watch: ‘Reverend’ Al Sharpton Outdoes Himself in Disgraceful Display During Jordan Neely Funeral – RedState

Will Maxine Waters lead Congressional Democrats in worshipful kneeling?


"Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man with an extensive arrest record, died on May 1st after being subdued by multiple passengers on a New York City subway for allegedly behaving in an aggressive and threatening manner, saying he was hungry and didn’t care if he got arrested.

"24-year-old Marine Daniel Penny, seen in the video clip putting Neely in what some have called a “submission hold” or “headlock,” has been charged by woke Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg with second-degree manslaughter over Neely’s death, though some witnesses have described Penny as a “hero.”

"As per the norm, Sharpton, who is a failed Democratic presidential candidate, made himself the center of the spotlight rather than Neely, lapping up the attention he got from the press and onlookers shortly before the Harlem service started:

"In true Sharpton fashion, he grotesquely politicized Neely’s death, criticizing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for referring to Penny as a “Good Samaritan” during a service that looked like it had more reporters in attendance than members of the community:

"Sharpton, infamous in NYC circles for inciting deadly race riots, engaging in anti-Semitism, and foisting racially-tinged rape hoaxes on the American populace, then declared without evidence that “Jordan was not annoying someone on the train,” even though multiple witnesses have described Neely’s behavior as erratic and threatening.". . .

OK, Dems. Let’s apply the George Santos standard to everyone

And if George Santos is to be removed from Congress, he must be joined by the removal of all House Democrats who pushed theTrump/Russia collusion fabrication, discredited by The Durham Report, intended to undermine the presidential election of November 8, 2016.


American Thinker  "Democrats are trying to expel Republican George Santos from Congress, depriving the GOP of one quarter of its majority in the House of Representatives.

"The New York Times, in its May 21 editorial, calls on House Republicans to remove Rep. George Santos because, as the title of the print version of the editorial, he deceived voters. The print version of this New York Times ploy to narrow the gap between House Democrat and Republicans is: "G.O.P LEADERS MUST HOLD SANTOS ACCOUNTABLE FOR DECEIVING VOTERS."      

"The online title asks, "Why is George Santos Still in Office?"

"But why are so many House Democrats who regularly deceive voters still in office?

"On the matter of voter deception, first The New York Times must return its Pulitzer for its reporting of the false Trump Russia collusion story.   Until that Pulitzer returned, this award represents serious honor to baseless reportage.". . .

The FBI: we hardly knew ya

 


Durham report: FBI criticised by special counsel for Trump-Russia inquiry - BBC News

"A long-awaited report has strongly criticised the FBI's handling of its investigation into alleged ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign.

"In a 306-page report, special counsel John Durham said the agency's inquiry lacked "analytical rigor".

"He concluded the FBI had not possessed evidence of collusion between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia before launching an inquiry.

"The FBI said it had addressed the issues highlighted in the report.

"In the report, Mr Durham - who was appointed by then-Attorney General William Barr in 2019 - accused the FBI of acting on "raw, unanalysed and uncorroborated intelligence"." . . .

Sen. Johnson: Whistleblower Allegations Reveal Corrupt FBI Undermined Hunter Bid... (senate.gov)    . . ." For nearly two years I have sought to get information from the FBI and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) about the purpose of, and who ordered, this briefing.  On May 3, 2021, Senator Grassley and I reiterated these requests in a letter to Directors Wray and Haines.[4]  Both failed to provide complete responses.[5]

"The inability of FBI and ODNI to be transparent with Congress on this matter and other matters relating to Hunter Biden is deeply concerning.  Once again, the FBI’s integrity has been called into question.  If these whistleblower allegations are accurate, how can your agency, Director Wray, be capable of investigating the president’s son?  Unfortunately, the FBI can no longer be trusted to investigate Hunter Biden with integrity and the equal application of law. 

"Attorney General Garland, you have failed to provide Senator Grassley and me with assurances that any DOJ investigation into Hunter Biden’s potential criminal activity will be free of conflicts of interest.  The American people should not have to tolerate your silence any longer.". . .
