Democrat Congressman Has Three Words After Being Carjacked at Gunpoint

 The Federalist Papers  "Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas had three words of advice after being carjacked at gunpoint Monday night in an upscale neighborhood near Capital Hill: Support law enforcement.

"Some would argue the lawmaker’s record in doing so is mixed.

"In 2021, Cuellar issued a news release to brag about voting for the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

"Had the bill become law, it would have greatly hampered police officers’ ability to do their jobs. Among other measures, it would have restricted the situations when police can respond with deadly force and greatly expanded the opportunity of civilians to sue individual officers, rather than local governments, when alleging wrongdoing.

"However, Cuellar voted with Republicans in February to override the District of Columbia’s revised criminal code passed by the city council that would have lessened the penalties for carjackings and other violent crimes.

Concerning Moment Biden Freezes Up, 'Looks As if He Is Going to Croak'

JUST IN: Biden looks as if he is going to croak after he suddenly lost his train of thought during a press conference at the White House.

The moment came after Biden said he hoped Speaker McCarthy has had a “personal revelation.”

 After McCarthy's Ouster, Speaker Pro Tempore McHenry Kicks Pelosi Out of Her Office (townhall.com) 

Pelosi was not in DC when all hell broke loose on Tuesday. She was in California for the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s memorial arrangements. She wasn't the only person served with an eviction notice. Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) was also asked to vacate his hideaway office. House Republicans are getting what revenge they can get for Democrats working with Matt Gaetz. In the meantime, Republicans must sprint to find someone for speaker who can get 218 votes unless they want to own this political disaster in the House.

"As the wise old adage warns, never engage in a battle of wits with no ammunition. Unfortunately for Karine Jean-Pierre, the most inept White House press secretary in memory, she's either unaware of the advice or intentionally ignores it. Then again, one can't use what one doesn't have.

"Such was the case on Monday when KJP once again chose to go toe-to-toe with Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy — and that was just for starters.

"Doocy began his back-and-forth with Jean-Pierre by asking how Biden felt about the pending healthcare workers' strike:

Since President Biden is so pro-union, is he okay with 75,000 healthcare workers possibly walking off the job this week?

"KJP responded like she always responds — with pre-canned White House talking points.

What I can tell you is that — I’ve said this many times already this morning: The President believes all workers — all workers, including healthcare workers and those that make their work possible — they [sic]deserve a [sic] fair pay and they deserve fair — a fair benefit. 

I’ll have to say, like, the Treasury Department laid out recently a major report that unions and collective bargaining are good for the overall economy and help raise wages at [sic] — for everybody, whether they are a union member or not and I think that matters.

"Doocy then hit KJP with a well-thrown right hook, deftly alluding to Biden's recent 12-minute photo-op picket-line stunt with striking autoworkers in Michigan: "Would he consider joining them [healthcare workers] on the picket line if they strike?"

"That was all it took to knock KJP off her game." . . .

 

How to Be a New York Times Reporter

 To use a professional journalist's technique: This Is the Steep Cost of the Times' Descent Into Mindless Left-Wing Activism ... a grim chapter the paper leaves out of its history.

Ann Coulter  "You probably think the job of a reporter is to report news. How old-fashioned, cis-gendered, white supremacist of you! That's not it at all, certainly not at the august New York Times.

"Instead, a reporter's mission is to find out what kind of story would help the Democrats at any particular moment in time, and then write it, no matter how preposterous. Obviously, skills in sophistry and legerdemain are crucial.

"Right now, nothing would help the Democratic Party more than somehow blocking Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida from becoming the Republican presidential nominee.

"That's a tall order. DeSantis is not only running on 70-30 popular issues, but he's following through by actually enacting those policies -- on everything from immigration to crime, to trans-mania, to anti-white racism. Most spectacularly, he made utter fools of the entire liberal brain trust over COVID." . . .

"You'll get a fair trial and then I'll hang you personally"

Viewers not only witnessed the hatred, pettiness, and smallness of the left, but also the corruption of America’s legal system through the reactions of these two.   James and Engoron are symbolic of a system no longer trained on murderers, thieves, and other criminals, but on political enemies. 

 Trump trial: The camera never lies - American Thinker   "The judge presiding over the  New York civil fraud case against President Donald Trump decided to invite the media cameras into the courtroom, but what became obvious is the camera never lies.

"I don’t doubt for a moment that showing Trump at bay motivated Judge Arthur Engoron’s allowing of the media to show the beginning of the proceedings. Trump gave the cameras nothing: no anxious movements and no emotional reactions to feed the media pundits.

"Instead, viewers saw the mad dog glare of New York Attorney General Letitia James focused on Trump like a laser.

"Maybe her stare was genuine or maybe she was playing for the cameras? Maybe both?

"Anyway.  As the photogs made their way out, Engoron gladly removed his glasses and flashed a creepy smile for the cameras as if he landed the big one." . . .

Whom did Trump harm? - Mark C. Ross   . . ."Trump's situation is particularly scary, not because of the damage being done to his reputation, but as an example of how evil our government of today can be when it wants to destroy someone for political purposes.  What is also disheartening is that Trump's New York enemies felt confident that the pervasive ignorance of the media and general public concerning these matters would allow them to freely pursue this endeavor in spite of how little, if any, substance was behind the charge.  If boasting about one's wealth were a crime, we'd need to build a lot more prisons." . . .

Smile a little smile for me, Mister Judge -Silvio Canto, Jr. 

. . ."Well, he is partisan Democrat, and that's clear.  He is also too clownish to be a judge.  Is this the best they can do in New York?

For short, I think that these New York cases are as partisan as ever.  We are seeing justice based on "Get Trump," exactly the kind of garbage that you see in a banana republic.

Whether you love or hate Trump, you should hate this kind of injustice.

No Jobs for White Men; Efforts to promote diversity have been objectively racist against whites

 American Greatness (amgreatness.com)   "A recent Bloomberg investigation reported on a shocking development: “The year after Black Lives Matter protests, the S&P 100 added more than 300,000 jobs — 94% went to people of color.” While only 6% of jobs at these top companies went to whites, white people make up 77% of the total U.S. workforce and about 60-65% of the adult population.

"This means that after 2020’s summer of rioting for “racial equity,” all whites, and particularly young people seeking entry-level positions after college, were deprived of employment by large institutional employers on a massive scale.

"Not only was hiring lopsided, but firing was as well. At Nike, according to the report, whites lost jobs disproportionately at every level of the company. This was rather typical: “At companies where overall employment shrank in 2021, White workers made up 68.5% of the losses, another 16.5% were Black, 9.7% were Hispanic and 2.3% were Asian.” That is, in the BLM era, whites were substantially less likely to get hired and more likely to get fired at the largest companies.

"None of this occurred randomly, but, rather, arose from a comprehensive system, whose goal is to reduce whites to second class citizens.

"While the political pressure to promote diversity and proportionality has been extant for quite some time, it was particularly heavy in 2020. After months of “we’re in this together” Covid propaganda, suddenly we were allowed to leave our homes because of the public health benefits of protesting for left-wing causes. At that time, large companies began sending out emails and placing ads that sounded like they came from the desk of Huey Newton." . . .

Ann Coulter Weighs in on Matt Gaetz's Plot to Remove McCarthy

Ann Coulter Weighs in on Matt Gaetz's Plot to Remove McCarthy (townhall.com)

"Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) made good on his promise to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, filing a motion to vacate. It’s a privileged motion, so the House must take it up within two days. The vote is happening Tuesday, but not before McCarthy’s allies force a move to table this maneuver. House Republicans have a slim five-seat majority. Democrats aren’t going to lift a finger to bail out McCarthy despite some reports that there are quiet whispers that a few might help the speaker. For now, the orders from Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to the Democratic caucus is to let the GOP cannibalize themselves over this mess. 

"Gaetz moved on his motion to vacate when a bill to keep the government open passed on Saturday, contingent on a separate vote on Ukraine aid. The latter part was not presented when voting was occurring, according to Gaetz. That broke a pledge by McCarthy to not work with Democrats, which he probably knew would set him up for this fight." . . .

 Jake Sherman: there are a few scenarios here, via me and @bresreports.

1) McCarthy wins. Seems unlikely right now. 2) McCarthy loses on the floor. But tries to grind it out with several more votes -- a repeat of Jan. 3) McCarthy loses and leaves. Scramble for leadership. Scalise, Emmer, etc. In 98, DeLay pushed hastert into speaker's chair. Sealed it up in a day. 4) This could drag out for a while with no speaker. House sure to stay in session until a new speaker.

If you think Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is a good guy, think again

 Andrea Widburg - American Thinker

 . . ."I haven’t forgotten that, before RJK Jr announced his candidacy, he enthusiastically praised both Louis Farrakhan and Roger Waters, two arch-antisemites. He’s trying to distance himself from those associations, but they haunt him like a bad smell."

"Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a lifelong, true, loyal leftist, suddenly became popular among conservatives because he was one of the few leftists to speak out against COVID vaccines. This wasn’t any particular wisdom on his part; he’s always opposed all vaccines. However, because of this stance, when RFK Jr threw his hat in the Democrat primary ring against Biden, some conservatives got excited. This man, they thought, would siphon votes away from Biden, handing Republicans a win. But that’s not what will happen—and RFK knows it. In other words, he’s another weapon against Republicans.

"I’ve never trusted RFK, despite his stance against the COVID vaccination. As noted, that stance is because he’s anti-vax across the board, not because he’s about small government and individual liberty. Where the rubber hits the road is that he’s a climate fanatic and anti-gun fanatic, which means that I have no interest in him whatsoever. He wants huge government and no individual liberty. He’s been trying to moderate his stance lately, but he’s got a history." . . .

The only takeaway for readers of this site should be that RFK Jr is not a friend to conservativism, and he’s not a substitute for any of the Republican candidates, no matter how bad some of them are.

What must it take for Americans to become sick of Democrats and their accusations of "Nazis!", "Racists!"

 Jamaal Bowman Blames ‘Nazi Members’ of GOP After Fire Alarm Scandal – PJ Media  "Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), who faces potential federal charges for pulling a fire alarm to delay a House vote on the stopgap resolution to avert a shutdown, is calling on his fellow Democrats to support him and has sent out talking points that blaming “Nazi members” of the Republican Party.

"Bowman could face as much as 20 years in prison for “corruptly” obstructing an official proceeding under 18 U.S. Code 1512(c) and has consistently claimed the pulling of the fire alarm was accidental, despite the hallway and doors being clearly marked as an emergency exit only and the fire alarm being a standard alarm that requires multiple actions to trigger. Republicans are drafting resolutions to censure or expel Bowman, and now Bowman’s office has distributed a memo to members of his party, complete with talking points.

“ 'On his way to votes today, Congressman Jamaal Bowman was trying to leave the Cannon House Office Building through the exit he regularly uses for votes,” the memo, titled “MESSAGING GUIDANCE: Supporting Congressman Jamaal Bowman After Accidental Fire Alarm” reads. “He was rushing to the House floor to prevent himself from missing a vote, and due to confusing signage and an honest mistake, he pulled the alarm in an attempt to open the door. He was not attempting to delay the vote that he intended to vote yes on, and was simply just trying to rush to the Capitol. Henceforth, MAGA Republicans have used this as an opportunity to distract from their attempt to shut the government down and to minimize January 6th insurrectionists.” . . .

You had a guy pull the fire alarm in a Congressional building when Democrats were trying to delay a vote. He then comes up with what has to be the most ridiculous excuse ever. Pro tip? No one thinks pulling a fire alarm opens a door. The same guy also lost it in a hallway on a fellow member of Congress. Versus a picture of peaceful, law-abiding gun owners who haven't broken the law or done anything unhinged. Yet Swalwell seems to find the very fact that they are holding guns to be not "stable."

"Add that to Swalwell's problem with not understanding his oath, and it didn't exactly end well for him.

But it's also a potential criminal act. So what have the US Capitol Police said on the matter?   . . ."It was a truly idiotic act, but the excuse spin from Bowman has made it even more ridiculous. He's now trying the tactic that he doesn't understand what the problem is here. He also put out "messaging guidance" to his fellow Democrats to help defend him and then he had to backtrack and say he hadn't meant to use the term "Nazis" while trying to blame his pulling the fire alarm on Republicans. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) walked people through what happened and how what he said made no sense." . . . 

Here's the 'Hitchhiker's Guide' to Matt Gaetz's Plot to Remove Kevin McCarthy

 Matt Vespa

"Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is filing a motion to vacate to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy over the stopgap measure that averted a government shutdown. Speaker McCarthy had to solicit Democrat votes to pass the continuing resolution, which will keep Congress afloat for another 45 days. The deal struck reportedly involved a separate vote on an aid package to Ukraine. There were no such funds allocated in the shutdown-averting spending bill passed yesterday (via NBC News): . . .

Matt Gaetz Rages, Says McCarthy Cut Deceitful Side Deal with Democrats (thefederalistpapers.org)   . . . "And if a charge he launched Saturday night has any truth to it, he’s got more ammunition than ever.

"Just after 8 p.m. Saturday, Gaetz picked up on a statement from House Democrats declaring that when the House returns to business, they expect McCarthy to”advance a bill to the House Floor for an up-or-down vote” on funding to support Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion.

"Funding for Ukraine was not part of the stopgap spending bill passed by the House and Senate and signed by President Joe Biden late Saturday.

"To Gaetz, the statement was proof that McCarthy had betrayed his own party, which has been leery of giving a blank check to Ukraine.

“ 'Wow,” Gaetz wrote in a post on X, the former Twitter. “@Speaker McCarthy made a side Ukraine deal with Democrats and didn’t tell House Republicans until after his Continuing Resolution passed.

“ 'More deceit.' ” . . .

Matt Gaetz's Gambit to Remove Speaker McCarthy and Wile E. Coyote's Schemes Look a Lot Alike – RedState   . . ."What does that mean? It means that the Democrats will probably end up with a larger voice in the decisions made by McCarthy. He controls the parliamentary process and can help Democrat bills move through the House and bury GOP bills to which the Democrats object. It means that the seat at the table afforded to the Freedom Caucus may no longer exist because McCarthy's job will depend on Democrat votes, and he can afford to ignore rebel Republicans.

"The unanswered question to Gaetz's petition is, if it succeeds, who becomes Speaker? The only man I can see who could pull the votes to win is Steve Scalise, and he has major health issues that would make serving as Speaker very difficult for him. It is easy to see the geniuses who masterminded this move ending up allowing a Democrat to become Speaker.

"Whatever the outcome of the vote, I don't see how this fiasco moves the ball forward for either the Freedom Caucus or the GOP. After forcing a vote on removing McCarthy, a vote that will almost certainly fail, McCarthy will have no incentive to cooperate with conservative members because he doesn't owe them anything. I don't even see how this move aids Matt Gaetz's ambitions. He's going to get very little support.". . .

Why MTG Is Siding With Speaker McCarthy in Removal Battle (townhall.com)  . . .  "McCarthy faces the prospect of losing as many as 20 GOP votes if everything goes pear-shaped for him. The current partisan split in the House is 221 Republicans and 212 Democrats. This means losing five GOP votes could remove him from office if the Democrats vote as a bloc against the resolution. I'm unsure if anyone has thought through this scheme any more than Wile E. Coyote thought through his.

"I'm sure McCarthy will lobby restive Republicans for their vote, but the mere handful of votes needed to remove him from office means that McCarthy has a choice to make. He can either see himself removed from his position, and that would almost certainly require him to resign from Congress, or he can cut a deal with Hakeem Jeffries for the support of the Democrat caucus. My money says McCarthy cuts a deal.

What We Must Believe to Believe Biden Is Innocent

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

This situation is, to coin a phrase, worse than Watergate.

"It’s hardly a surprise that the corporate media have rushed to the defense of President Biden pursuant to the impeachment inquiry announced last week by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. More surprising is the absurdity of the arguments they offer on his behalf. For years, his denials notwithstanding, Biden knew his son ran an international enterprise whose only real service was selling access to the Vice President of the United States to foreign entities who hoped to procure favorable policy decisions from the Obama administration. This operation generated at least $20 million that was doled out to nine Biden family members, yet we are asked to believe that the “Big Guy” didn’t get a cut.

"CNN, for example, insists there is no evidence that he “personally received any money.” The network’s fact-checkers evidently need to see a cancelled check made out to “Joe Biden” by an Oligarch who has helpfully written “bribe” on the memo line. The public is more sophisticated. A significant plurality of voters believe that Biden has accepted bribes. A recent Yahoo/YouGov survey asked this question (48F): “Do you believe that Hunter Biden funneled millions of dollars to his father in a long-running scheme to help Joe Biden profit off of his position?” Fully 45 percent of registered voters answered, “Yes.” These aren’t “MAGA extremists.” Indeed, 41 percent of Independents answered, “Yes.”

"Moreover, they have many sound reasons for doubting the President’s veracity and suspecting him of engaging in impeachable offences. On August 24, House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) released a list of 16 instances of Biden lying to the American people about his knowledge of his family’s influence peddling schemes. Last week, Chairman Comer released an additional list of evidence showing that Joe Biden’s involvement in these illegal schemes was anything but passive. Meanwhile, Special Assistant to the President Ian Sams issued a memorandum to the corporate “news” media effectively commanding them to scrutinize Republicans with even more animus than is their standard practice:" . . .
