WATCH: Climate Activist Wins Laugh of the Day, and a Perfect Response by Counterprotesters to Shut Them Up –

  RedState


"I wrote earlier about the Just Stop Oil activists who stopped traffic and even tried to disrupt the British Open.

"They didn’t care if a desperate mom said she needed to get to the hospital with her baby. They didn’t care about the obvious point people were making to them, that they were increasing emissions by blocking cars. But the audience at the Open certainly cheered—when they were taken away and off the course, with the help of American golfer Billy Horschel.

"Climate activists think that their beliefs trump anyone else’s beliefs, jobs, babies, or any of the other things that you might be trying to do in your car when they block you. The activists don’t seem to care or perhaps even know how important oil is to everything we do, and is likely a part of all their clothes and the accessories that they’re sporting in these videos.

"Most of the activists are young people who have been taken in by this. But then, there are people like this lady. This take is something else, “The fish in the pond are dying!!!” . . .

Hollywood may be in its death throes, and deservedly so

Another thing to know about Hollywood, both past and present, is that it is now and has always been a place of unbridled debauchery. Where one finds power and money, one invariably finds pedophilia and other forms of sexual power politics and abuse.


Andrea Widberg; American Thinker "Hollywood once supported America and family values; it’s now antithetical to them. This means that many Americans are rooting for its collapse during a writers’ and actors’ strike over an industry change as significant and destructive as the advent of the car was to carriage makers.

"I’m a huge fan of pre-1960s movies, and I know a fair amount about the history of Hollywood. In Hollywood’s early years, the executives behind it were almost entirely Jewish immigrants who found a niche in a brand-new industry and filled it.

"Throughout the 1920s and into the very early 1930s, movie plots got progressively more sordid. However, in the face of combined pressure from consumers and politicians, Hollywood cleaned up its act, producing family- and America-friendly movies for the next 35 or so years until the social compact started falling apart in the mid-1960s.

"Beginning in the mid-1960s, Hollywood turned against America. This was in part because industry followed the Baby Boomers, who were a huge source of funds and who were moving left at warp speed.

"The trend accelerated as Hollywood actors, few of whom were credentialed, figured that they could give themselves an intellectual gloss if they followed campus social and political trends. With bully pulpits, publicists, and unbounded egos, they gave unsavory, unwashed, and unhinged academic intellectuals glamor and reach.


NEW: IRS Whistleblower Joseph Ziegler Battles Jake Tapper's Bias in Revealing Interview –

  RedState  

"A day after testifying on Capitol Hill, IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler appeared with CNN’s Jake Tapper to face further questioning.

"Ziegler, a registered Democrat who has over a decade of experience as an IRS case agent, laid out the corruption he saw involving the Hunter Biden investigation. At every turn, he and his team were hamstrung, with the DOJ refusing to even allow questions surrounding Joe Biden. Ziegler also testified that interviews of Hunter Biden’s adult children were also placed off limits. Other damning allegations include Hunter Biden’s legal team being tipped off to searches and U.S. Attorneys in districts outside of Delaware refusing to allow well-evidenced prosecutions.

"Tapper opened his interview with a resounding defense of U.S. Attorney David Weiss. Ziegler pushed back on the framing, noting that he and others were in the room with Weiss when the prosecutor made specific claims." . . .

The Democrat Party Of The Proudly Unwell And Perverts

  The Federalist


"It says a lot about the modern Democrat Party that its prominent figures like Rep. Eric Swalwell (California representative) and Beto O’Rourke (perpetually unemployed) would actually support and pose for a photo with Stacie Laughton when he was running for a seat in the New Hampshire state house.

"For the uninitiated, Laughton has the distinction of being the first transgender person elected to a state legislature. More importantly, he was charged in connection with the sexual exploitation of children, specifically by receiving and talking about explicit photos of children possibly as young as 3 years old. Laughton allegedly obtained the photos in text messages from his then-partner, Lindsay Groves, who authorities say took nude photos of the young minors at a daycare center.

"It’s not like there weren’t signs of trouble. Appearance isn’t everything, but it is something — and Laughton’s, with his long straggly hair pulled back in a tight knot, his highly receded hairline, and questionable dental hygiene, is unnerving, to say the least. Plenty of unfortunately-looking people are harmless. But Laughton is both that and suffers from a psychological impairment (celebrated as it may be by the American left)." . . .

How to Find an Evangelical College That Isn’t Woke -

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

With trendy leftism flourishing at numerous Protestant colleges, parents and students need concrete suggestions for discerning those true to the faith from those subscribing to Woke U.

"It is no secret that American colleges and universities are increasingly becoming Orwellian dystopias. Those who dissent from the prevailing orthodoxies often survive by keeping their mouths shut and their heads down. Concerns about the transformation of much of higher education into grossly overpriced hotbeds of leftist indoctrination are not new, even as we have shifted from talking about “political correctness” to the now ubiquitous “woke.” Yet, despite all the hand-wringing, things have mostly gotten worse.

"Many conservative evangelicals think they have a viable alternative: Protestant evangelical colleges and universities. Evangelical parents and students are willing to spend private tuition dollars at these institutions to escape the madness — often on top of the hefty investments they have made in private and in-home K–12 education. 

" 'Sadly, after spending all that money and foregoing other opportunities so as to obtain a “biblical” education, too often these evangelicals instead end up with the same old woke nonsense, which is barely hidden under a veneer of pious justification and Christian-sounding jargon. (READ MORE: Education Has Reached Peak Absurdity, But There Is Hope)

"Disturbing reports have emerged showing trendy leftism flourishing at numerous evangelical colleges. Several now hire faculty members who are legally married to members of the same sex. Many have also pulled out of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) rather than stick to orthodox Christian teaching on marriage and sex. Many remaining CCCU colleges are almost as badly compromised. For example, one college that officially claims to profess that sex is only morally acceptable within the bounds of marriage, defined as between one man and one woman, has given its faculty permission to dissent from this teaching." . . .

Adam Schiff Was Censured After All, And Garret Graves Voted In Favor

  Hayride


"A week ago a lot of folks on the Right were incensed when a resolution to censure the ridiculous liar Adam Schiff, who abused his former position as the chair of the House Intelligence Committee to perpetrate the Trump-Russia hoax and other calumnies against former president Donald Trump, fell short of passage because 20 Republicans wouldn’t vote for it.

"Garret Graves, the congressman representing Louisiana’s Sixth District, which includes most of Baton Rouge and areas around the capital city, was one of the 20. He explained his vote on the basis of procedural infirmities with the resolution as it was drafted but not on the substance of the censure.". . .

. . ."Give the Democrats one thing – they’ll stick together no matter how wrong they are, and there’s no limit to the childish and stupid behavior they’ll employ in attempting to get their way."

 If Biden was mentally sound with no dementia, he should be removed from this nation's government for his corruption and terrible character alone.


What if Biden’s dementia accelerates and becomes impossible to hide? - American Thinker   . . ."If Joe and Jill Biden and their extended family, all of whom seem to have been enriching themselves from his high offices, actually cared about the nation’s fate and his personal welfare, they would see him resign from office. But that obviously is not going to happen, not only out of their own greed and power proclivities, but because the puppeteers controlling Biden and the entire party want to keep Kamala off the ticket in 2024.  

"The national interest has never been the animating force behind any of these people. The damage they have done already is terrible to contemplate. But the potential for crisis inherent in Joe Biden’s seemingly accelerating decline into dementia could be far worse, even existential, if enemies decide to take advantage of an American government immobilized by an extended vacancy at the top of the executive branch, perpetuated by political squabbles in the legislative branch of government.  

"We are indeed cursed to live in interesting times, as the Chinese proverb has it."

Just when you thought Biden couldn't get more pathetic... – HotAir   . . ."I guess Biden wants to make sure that when he is making campaign strategy he is close to his bed.

"Is there any other explanation for his having chosen his residence in Delaware as the headquarters for his campaign for reelection? I mean, really? Joe provides one, if only in written form since he probably can’t get through the few words he was meant to say.

“My family’s values, my eternal optimism and my unwavering belief in the American middle class as our nation’s backbone comes from my home — from Delaware,” Biden said in a statement. “That’s why there is no better place for our reelection campaign to have its headquarters.”

"It is true that prior presidents have run with what is called a “front porch strategy,” in which the candidate allows his opponent to flail uselessly by running around the country while he stays home and drinks bourbon and smokes a pipe. James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, and  William McKinley all did so in 1880, 1888, and 1896. So it can be called a proven winner, although I am pretty sure that a campaign strategy that was last used 120 years ago is less likely to succeed today. Then again, Biden had a basement strategy in 2020, and he won that time, so perhaps I am wrong.

"But at least in 2020, Biden didn’t actually plan to sleep through his campaign, and having your headquarters equipped with a bed might not be the best signal of being hale and hearty."



Why Women's Soccer Teams are Overpaid

 Described by President Trump as the “woke leftist maniac,” Rapinoe is indeed a disgusting bully. She may have the most obnoxious mouth and unbecoming demeanor, but she didn’t even make the easy list of the top 25 women players expected to feature at the World Cup of Women’s Soccer.

American Thinker  "The Women’s World Cup (soccer) is upon us, and we’re in for weeks of mind-numbing commentary by browbeaten weenies who gloss over the ladies’ athletic inadequacies, but gush over their strategies.


"The U.S. team still fields Megan Rapinoe, a militant progressive who scratched and clawed in unseemly fashion to ensure Women‘s National Team soccer players get paid far more than they deserve. Under the U.S. Soccer Federation collective bargaining agreement, they are getting as much as the men, in fact. The problem is, women don’t play soccer; they play women’s soccer, which is a weakened version of the classic game.

"Recently, the big-mouthed, obnoxious Rapinoe welcomed transgender players into the women’s soccer team -- after she retires and doesn’t have to compete for a position. Her ludicrous support of biological men-cum-trans women showering with, and competing against, biological women exposes the vast inequality of pay between the relatively underpaid men’s and overpaid women’s teams.

"Rarely will you see a missile-like 40-yard cross-field pass precisely executed by the women, only a soft, floating ball that’s easily intercepted by a Trans player with average male speed.

"Rarely, in women’s soccer, will a player drill in a corner kick with vicious velocity, inviting the forward to nod in powerfully past a goalie with anatomical encumbrances that restrict her diving agility, lovely though they are. Rarely, in women’s soccer, will a player muster the foot speed (in the kicking motion) to launch a long-distance shot with such venom that it rattles the net." . . .



Trump's Endorsement Got DeSantis Nothing

  Ann Coulter


"Donald Trump is indignant that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would dare run for president when he KNOWS Trump is running. According to the former president and big baby, this is a betrayal of epic proportions because Trump endorsed DeSantis during his first gubernatorial run. (Whereas winning the presidency by promising to build a wall, and then reneging, is a trifle, hardly worth mentioning.)

"DeSantis, he says, would be "working at a Pizza Hut" if not for Trump's endorsement. [Counter-argument: DeSantis is a graduate of both Harvard and Yale and didn't pay someone to take his SATs for him, as Trump did.]

"But since Trump won't shut up about his splendiferous endorsement of DeSantis, let's see how valuable it really was.

"Answer: It was utterly irrelevant.

"Trump endorsed DeSantis on Dec. 22, 2017, shortly before he officially announced his candidacy, tweeting, "Congressman Ron DeSantis is a brilliant young leader, Yale and then Harvard Law, who would make a GREAT Governor of Florida. He loves our Country and is a true FIGHTER!' " . . .

Biden’s Granddaughter Relieved To Have Been Disowned After Seeing Biden Eat Baby

  Babylon Bee (Parody)


LITTLE ROCK, AR — After watching her grandfather gnaw on a baby on live television, four-year-old Navy Roberts was reportedly relieved that President Biden had disowned her.

"I didn't know Grandpa ate babies," said Navy. "I thought it would have been cool to meet my Grandpa and visit the White House -- but, um, I think I'll stay here with my mom."

According to sources, Navy occasionally likes to watch the news to see the Grandpa she has never met. "I was sad when I saw Grandpa put up a stocking at Christmas for the dog, but not for me," said Navy. "Then, I saw him lick that little girl like she was a strawberry ice-cream cone. She looked so scared! I'm not sad anymore."

Reporters say that the little girl who was chewed on by Mr. Biden has received her tetanus booster and is undergoing a series of shots for rabies. "We're taking the usual precautions with any bite victim," said pediatrician Dr. Amy Reynolds. "President Biden will also be quarantined for two weeks while we test for rabies. Interestingly, his staff said that was already on his schedule anyways. We believe the little girl will make a full recovery, though psychologically, she may always have trust issues with men."

At publishing time, the White House reported that the person responsible for keeping the President from eating babies had been fired.

Empty suit, empty suites: Joe Biden's government of empty buildings -

 

Monica Showalter; American Thinker  "We often ask who's running the government with a White House led by doddering Joe Biden.

"But with a new audit out, maybe the real question is what is the government.

"According to the Washington Examiner:

The evacuation of federal headquarters during the COVID-19 crisis appears to have become permanent and costly with up to 90% of several agency headquarters empty, according to a federal audit.

At least 6 of 24 Washington area headquarters are 90% empty, including several that manage federal office space and employees such as the General Services Administration and the Office of Personnel Management.

The audit from the Government Accountability Office found that just six agencies were operating with half of their staff in the office during the first three months of 2023, the latest sign that efforts to get federal employees back into the office after the coronavirus crisis and after years of encouraging telework have failed.

The findings echo private sector reports. In Washington, private offices are less than 40% full.

"Turns out the government buildings Joe Biden presides over in his expensive, bloated government are about as empty as the old dotard's head.

"It's like we have a pretend president, presiding over a pretend government.

"Practically every agency headquarters is something like 80% empty.

"But the empty buildings still stand, as if to suggest that something had been there. Mainly, it's the illusion of power and importance." . . .

EXPOSED: MTG Just Told Us Who Bribed Joe Biden! –


 enVolve (en-volve.com)  "Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene who sits as a member of the House Oversight Committee  has revealed that the previously “unnamed” foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden with $10 million dollars, was Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky.

"Greene announced, “Zlochevsky is the foreign national who made 17 secret phone recordings of the Bidens as an insurance policy.”

"Greene was able to obtain the intel about Zlochevsky due to the fact she was able to view a redacted version of an FBI FD-1023 form.

"Greene noted that although the FBI’s FD-1023 form was redacted she’s very clear Zlochevsky was the redacted name due to the other information in the form referring to Burisma."

Per The Daily Caller:   "Hunter Biden and his business associates attempted to get Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky a U.S. visa shortly after the president’s son became a board member of the Ukrainian energy firm, according to emails reviewed by the Daily Caller.

"The emails in Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop archive show a coordinated attempt to obtain a visa for Zlochevsky while he was being investigated by Ukrainian authorities for corruption."
