That the Democrats Are Surprised at How Disliked They Are Says a Lot About Them

 RedState  

The left has become openly and proudly tyrannical. They display no shame or remorse for their hypocrisy. They gather in the streets and cheer on terrorists to torture and kill innocent people. They openly want to sexualize and groom your children, by force if need be. They assault people in the streets and destroy and steal from people and call it a virtue. They take beloved works and pervert them until they're just carriers for their message. . . .

"I've been spending a few articles analyzing the rise of former President Donald Trump and his constantly increasing popularity. It's not exactly a hard thing to understand when you stand back and look at the man and his journey from a distance. 

"Trump is a person who spent a great deal of time being a popular media figure before his foray into politics. He became a well-recognized face and name, showing up in everything from people's favorite reality television shows to cameo appearances in everything from Home Alone 2 to Zoolander. 

"Once he truly found himself in the political game, he became known as the outsider. Using his skills as a media figure, he made himself the center of the circus and proceeded to win the hearts and minds of many people, giving him a victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016 and sending him into the White House. From here, he's either the greatest president that ever graced the Oval Office or one of the worst depending on who you talk to, but his loss in 2020 is considered an illegitimate matter by a great deal of Americans. 

"But one thing is for sure. Trump's popularity isn't all Trump's fault. A huge factor in his popularity is the Democrats and the left who will go to any length to destroy Trump and keep him from the White House, even if that includes false reports, the weaponization of federal agencies, and riots in the streets. 

"As I wrote in greater detail, the left has generated the unmitigated growth of one of the most motivating emotions humans can experience; spite. They have given the American people a reason to spite them and they continue to make Trump more powerful as a result. 

"Strikingly, the Democrats seem surprised by this. Watch Mika Brzezinski's reaction to Trump's seemingly untouchable popularity in Iowa with two key groups, one of which Trump lost in 2016. She seems close to tears from the shock and admits she has "no words."  . . .

KUDOS to Muslim girls basketball team in California for refusing to compete against team with a male player pretending to be female

 Bare Naked Islam   "An Islamic high school in California reportedly canceled a January 4th girls basketball game rather than play another school that had a male who identifies as a female player on its team. The Muslim girls team refused to play against the boy or share a locker room with him. Needless to say, a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of the female players.

Breitbart (h/t Nita) According to the report, Freemont-based Averroes High School — which bills itself as a college preparatory Islamic high school — forfeited its girls’ basketball game against San Francisco Waldorf High. Averroes officials did not disclose why they canceled the game, but sources have told Reduxx that the game was nixed because Waldorf had a boy who says he is a transgender girl playing for them.

"While Reduxx did not name the transgender player, the site claims it looked into the matter and found that the boy is taller and faster than the girls on his team and has even retained his male name, as seen on the team’s roster.

"Reduxx also spoke to Julie Lane, a representative of the advocacy group Women Are Real, and she went in person to watch a game Waldorf’s girl’s basketball was playing and witnessed firsthand how the transgender player overpowered his opponents.

“The boy had an obvious advantage,” Lane said. “[The girls] didn’t necessarily run their offense through him, probably because they didn’t want to be targeted. But he got most rebounds and was able to jump much higher than the girls.”

Lane went on to say that the girls he faced “were at a complete disadvantage.” “I caught one scramble for the ball with another player, and my heart stopped. She was more than a foot shorter than him and could have been seriously injured,” she said. Unsurprisingly, Waldorf’s girls’ basketball team has been undefeated since the boy joined.                         

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 good on these girls.

Exclusive – Donald Trump Recounts How Ted Kennedy Once Told Him Joe Biden Was the ‘Dumbest’ Senator

Breitbart  

 "PALM BEACH, Florida — Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that years ago when he was a U.S. senator that now-President Joe Biden was regarded by then-Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and his colleagues as the “dumbest” person in the U.S. Senate.

"Trump was explaining how Biden is a “very vicious guy” surrounded by “vicious people,” but also noted that Biden is “not smart at all.”

“ 'I ran against him. I got far more votes than I did the first time. I feel I know him very well,” Trump told Breitbart News in an exclusive more-than-two-hour-long interview at Mar-a-Lago just before the new year. “A lot of times in dealmaking you know a person better if you’re doing deals than if you’re with that person all the time. He’s surrounded by vicious people, radical left people, and people that are ultimately going to destroy him. They give no quarter. They’re willing to do anything like weaponize the Justice Department and the FBI and all of those things can come back to hurt Joe and them and everybody else ultimately. There’s a level of viciousness that you don’t see. Joe Biden is a very vicious guy. He’s not a smart guy—not smart at all. All you have to do is look at his academic credentials. But he’s a very vicious guy.”

"Trump then said that Biden, while “vicious” in reality, has been able to fool Americans into believing “this image of ‘nice,’” something that Trump says a story from the late Kennedy undercuts.

“He’s got this image of ‘nice,’ when Ted Kennedy—who I knew very well, he’s a Palm Beach guy, rich family, had a house on the ocean a mile down the road,” Trump said. “I was very friendly with him for various reasons. I said to Ted Kennedy, ‘who’s the smartest guy in the Senate?’ He gave me a name I won’t tell you because I cannot stand the guy but it was really true he’s a smart guy. Then I said ‘who’s the dumbest?’ He said ‘probably Joe.’ I said ‘who’s Joe?’ He said ‘Joe Biden.’ I said ‘why is he the dumbest?’ He said ‘it’s because he doesn’t understand concepts, he doesn’t understand policy, and he doesn’t understand anything that is complicated like taxes and various other things.’ But, he said, ‘he’s hale and hearty and well-meant.’ It’s true, sort of, with the smile—you could see a friendliness there, but it’s not friendliness. Ted Kennedy said he’s the dumbest guy in the Senate and now he’s our president.”. . .

New Hampshire Attorney General Sends Cease and Desist Letter to DNC as National Party Tells Democrats the Upcoming Presidential Primary Is “Meaningless” - Vote for Nikki Haley

 The Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com)

"As the DNC is telling New Hampshire Democrats the upcoming primary is “meaningless,” the background Democrat control officers like David Plouffe are telling them to vote for Nikki Haley.  The New Hampshire Attorney General has had enough of this manipulative scheming and sends a letter to the DNC telling them to stop. [Letter pdf HERE]

"Forgive me…. but I am laughing a little.   When you work as hard as we have to showcase the fraud within the two-private-corporation election system (DNC & RNC), year after year, after year, this type of stuff is just gold, GOLD.

"You see, there comes a point in the display of the marionette strings when they just start glowing so brightly, those who try to retain pretenses can no longer support the ruse.   Yes, finally, the DNC bloom comes off the ruse." . . .

. . ."PREVIOUSLY – […] “I think it’s probably too distasteful for a lot of people. But for those who would be up for it, to do something tactically—I don’t know if it would stop Trump, but, you know, it could help extend the primary.” … “I think, when you look out in the rest of the states, Trump’s clearly a dominant favorite, but in a two-person race, there’s a healthy number of Republicans who are open to an alternative if she’s the only one. So, I think for liberals, or Democrats, or independents who might not ever support Nikki Haley to be the president to cast a strategic or tactical vote, to me, makes a lot of sense.”  ~ David Plouffe

“ 'I have played a sport every athletic season throughout my high school career, and I have never experienced this kind of hatred directed at one of my teams before,” Bosworth said.

“ 'Instead of responding to hatred with more of the same, we chose to separate ourselves from the situation and leave with dignity and pride in who we are and what we believe in,” she continued." . . .

Coach Fired, Player Suspended, then Reinstated for Antisemitic Remarks at Roosevelt HS Basketball Game | Yonkers Times 

"The worst of the alleged antisemitic slurs was, “I support Hamas, you f–king Jew,” which came from a Roosevelt Girls Basketball player. Many of those in attendance did hear Roosevelt players saying, “Free Palestine,” during the game. The game was cancelled during the 3rd Quarter, and security walked off members of The Leffell School.

"One of the players for The Leffell School, a private, Jewish school in Westchester, wrote a letter for their school newspaper detailing what happened.". . .

"An inclusion effort that excludes Jews is both steeped in and misunderstands antisemitism," reads the letter, which was organized by Jew in the City's Hollywood Bureau for Jewish Representation.

  Silvio Canto, Jr.- American Thinker

Beyond office politics, this is an embarrassment for the country and for a president who looks more detached every time he goes public. 

"Just think.  How does the President of the United States go three days without talking to the Secretary of Defense? 

 "I guess National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan did not, either.  We are talking about a time when tensions are running high.  Again, aren't U.S. forces under attack in the Far East and Middle East and Navy assets occupied with Houthis too? 

 

"Did I tell you about North Korea, China and Russia?  

 

"So how do you address such an obvious example of irresponsibility?

 

"First, you can't fire the president, so we have to wait for an election on that one.

 

"Second, you can fire Secretary Austin." . . .

How Obama Secretly Gave Iran Access To Billions Of Dollars — And Enabled Terrorism

 

Obama administration acknowledges $1.7B transfer to Iran was all cash - CBS News (2016)  "The $1.7 billion was the settlement of a decades-old arbitration claim between the U.S. and Iran. 

"An initial $400 million cash delivery was sent Jan. 17, the same day Tehran agreed to release four American prisoners.

"The Obama administration had claimed the events were separate, but recently acknowledged the cash was used as leverage until the Americans were allowed to leave Iran." . . .

How Obama Secretly Gave Iran Access To Billions Of Dollars — And Also Enabled Terrorism (investors.com)   Iran: One of the linchpins of former President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran was that it would be accompanied by a near-ban on Iran having any access to the U.S. banking system. A new congressional report says that, too, was a lie.Obama and his officials at the Treasury Department and State Department were clear: They would work assiduously to freeze out Iran from getting dollars to fund its mischief and mayhem around the world.

"The Associated Press, puts it this way: "As the Treasury and State Department worked behind the scenes to help Iran access the dollar, the message to Congress remained the same: The JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) did not allow Iran to access the U.S. financial system."

"Obama sent a clear message to Congress: If you don't block this nuclear deal, we will bar Iran's access to our financial system. The deal was clear, unequivocal.

"It was also a lie. Obama lied, and so did others in his administration." . . .

Women Silent? Where Did The #Metoo Movement Go? Famous actress and model, Moran Atias, with a clear message to all hypocritical women’s organizations.

  Religio-Political Talk

Actress Moran Atias addresses the hypocritical women's rights organizations that have been silent since October 7, which, as it turns out, do not care at all about the rights of Israeli women.

"Similarly, as THE AMERICAN MIND asks, “Why is extreme anti-Israel activism dominated by wild-eyed young women?”

"Especially after the violent sexual rapes and murder of women by Hamas?" . . .

Hamas uses rape as weapon. Why are the left's #MeToo feminists silent? (usatoday.com)   "Appalling. That’s the only word that describes the response by progressive women and women’s rights groups to the clear evidence of what Hamas terrorists did to women and girls in their brutal attack on Israel Oct. 7. 

"When they started in force a few years ago, the Women’s March and #MeToo movement centered on the idea that we must “believe women” when they say what’s happened to them. No proof or due process needed. Just their word. 

"It’s obvious now that those hashtags came with a huge asterisk: These groups support only the women they deem worthy. 

"In the face of reports of mass rape, mutilation and murder of Israeli women (and plenty of corroborating proof and eyewitness testimony), the reaction from too many women’s rights organizations, professors, journalists, congresswomen and citizens has been either to ignore the fact it happened; cast doubt on the fact it happened; or equivocate by comparing the horror these Israeli women experienced with Palestinians suffering because of Israel’s justified retaliation on the terrorists who perpetrated these acts. . . .

Why are these women not speaking out on school campuses to combat the blatant mal-educated anti-Israeli students?

Global women's rights groups silent as Israeli women testify about rapes by Hamas | The Times of Israel   . . ."One survivor of the Supernova music festival, where about 360 people were slaughtered, described how she witnessed Hamas terrorists rape an Israeli girl: “As I am hiding, I see in the corner of my eye that [a terrorist] is raping her,” the witness recounted. “They bent her over and I realized they were raping her and simply passing her on to the next [terrorist].”

"Yet many feminist and women’s rights organizations worldwide have remained conspicuously silent — and some are even questioning the veracity of the accusations. These denials of the sexual abuse perpetrated by Hamas have far-reaching consequences, including the deterrence of other sexual abuse victims from seeking help." . . .

Global women’s rights groups silent as Israeli women testify about rapes by Hamas

Despite widespread evidence of terrorists’ systematic acts of sexual brutality on Oct. 7, most worldwide organizations either have no comment or bash IDF’s military campaign in Gaza  

"As the United Nations promotes an awareness campaign ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on November 25, chilling accounts from survivors and first responders who witnessed Hamas’s October 7 massacre of 1,200 Israelis paint a horrifying picture of systemic sexual assaults perpetrated against women and girls of all ages.

"One survivor of the Supernova music festival, where about 360 people were slaughtered, described how she witnessed Hamas terrorists rape an Israeli girl: “As I am hiding, I see in the corner of my eye that [a terrorist] is raping her,” the witness recounted. “They bent her over and I realized they were raping her and simply passing her on to the next [terrorist].”

Likewise, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) neglected to explicitly condemn Hamas’s atrocities. And the international #MeToo movement completely failed to mention Hamas — or the Israeli victims." . . .

“A Hamas video from a kibbutz shows terrorists torturing a pregnant woman and removing her fetus. Our forensic scientists have found bodies of women and girls raped with such violence that their pelvic bones were broken,” wrote Herzog.

REVEALED: Reuters and AP 'Journalists' Live-Streamed Themselves Encouraging Gazans to Invade Israel

 RedState

This is a massive scandal that will unfortunately never be treated as such. American news agencies were paying these men to participate in terrorist acts against innocent people. In fact, as mentioned in the report, one of Reuters' "photos of the year" was the picture of an Israeli soldier being dragged out of a tank and lynched. The guy on that video bragging about participating in that act was paid for his photo of it.

"In an escalation of earlier reporting that showed multiple "journalists" working for the Associated Press and The New York Times participating in the October 7th attack on Israel, live-stream footage has now been uncovered that illustrates even more direct coordination with Hamas terrorists.

"As RedState originally reported, Hassan Eslaiah, who was freelancing for CNN, Reuters, and the AP, filmed  himself riding into Israel on October 7th carrying a grenade. Another "journalist" was also implicated, though the Times defended his work despite evidence he had advance knowledge of the attack. 

"The claim from the Times was that these "journalists" had simply been caught up in quickly unfolding events and were merely trying to do their jobs. That claim has now been proven false. According to Honest Reporting, a UK media watchdog, two "journalists," both of whom did freelance work for the AP and Reuters at the time, live-streamed themselves showing off pictures of the atrocities, with one even bragging that he had helped take Israelis hostage. 

"Abu Mostafa then tells people to cross the border into Israel, proclaiming it a one-in-a-lifetime event that won't happen again. All of this occurred as Hamas' murderous rampage was still in full swing."  . . .  Amra can be seen laughing and smiling while Abu Mostafa presented footage of the lynching of an Israeli soldier.  A treat on US college campuses everywhere, I'm sure.

Fani Willis' Team Billed Taxpayers To Meet With Biden White House About Trump Case

The Federalist (thefederalist.com)

"Evidence submitted in a motion by former Trump campaign official Michael Roman’s legal team suggests Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis used taxpayer money to meet with the Biden White House about her 2020 election case against Donald Trump around the time he announced his 2024 presidential campaign.

"Corporate media hubbub about the recent filing largely centered on Willis’ allegedly inappropriate romantic relationship with private attorney Nathan Wade, who she contracted out as a special prosecutor on her “get Trump” case.

"Documents allege Wade, who the motion alleges was underqualified for the role, used some of the $654,000 taxpayer-funded legal fees he earned on the case against former President Donald Trump to fund “lavish vacations” for him and Willis.

"The motion asserts that Willis and Wade’s actions amount to honest services fraud and possibly federal racketeering.

"Perhaps the most interesting evidence presented in the motion is that Willis paid Wade with taxpayer dollars for at least two formal meetings they had with the Biden White House about their prosecution of Biden’s number one political opponent.

"Tucked away in one of the exhibits attached to the motion to dismiss and qualify were several invoices from the law offices of Nathan J. Wade. Among the charges for prep meetings and discovery dating back to 2021 were two bills for 8-hour conferences with the Biden White House." . . .

"NY Post  The Thursday night game between The Leffell School, a private Jewish school in Hartsdale, and Roosevelt High School, a public school in Yonkers, ended early after some kids from Roosevelt shot antisemitic slurs at their opponents — including one who allegedly said “I support Hamas, you f–king Jew.”
