And there cad is, &quot;ignoring&quot; me again..  :D

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

It&#039;s obvious to ANYONE with more than 2 brain cells to rub together that Russ&#039; &quot;friend&quot; is a moron that doesn&#039;t even know what an &#039;incel&#039; is...

Of course, cad is as much of a moron as well.. He just can&#039;t help but show everyone in Weigantia™ how much he is always &quot;ignoring&quot; me..  :D

As far as Russ&#039; bimbo friend??  Let&#039;s see if she is actually a real person and shows up to stand up for her moronic claims...   :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;&quot;Liz Cheney committed to bringing Donald Trump to JUSTICE for his role in the January 6th insurrection,&quot; they continue. &quot;Now Trump and his right-wing loyalists are attacking Liz to stop her investigation! Without enough public support, we&#039;ll NEVER be able to make sure that Trump is punished for his crimes.&quot;

What exactly is &quot;Liz Cheney&#039;s FULL investigation!&quot; is never explained. Cheney isn&#039;t heading any investigation, nor has she launched one of her own. She&#039;s a single member of Congress, no more imbued with powers to launch investigations than you or I are. 

She is, however, a member of Nancy Pelosi&#039;s Democrat committee harassing conservatives for the &quot;crime&quot; of asking questions about how a senile old man who rarely left his house managed to get 81 million votes. That&#039;s easier, I guess, than just coming up with a rational, believable explanation. 

Still, the stupidity of the left and the contempt they show for their supporters wasn&#039;t nearly done. &lt;/B&gt;

It&#039;s hilarious to see Democrats fall all over themselves to lick Liz Cheney&#039;s boots..  :D

And it&#039;s going to be even MORE fun to see Cheney primary&#039;ed out of office!!!  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The Liz Cheney Delusions

Some people simply love themselves – a lot. Others hate people to the point that it consumes them. Most of the rest of us live somewhere in the in-between. But politics isn&#039;t about the in-betweens; it&#039;s about pandering to the extremes, either for votes, money, or both. That&#039;s why the radical left has embraced Republican Liz Cheney.

No one would have expected leftists to embrace Congresswoman Cheney, especially after 20 years of describing her father as the root of all evil while accusing her of picking up his mantle. Yet, politics makes strange bedfellows. 

&quot;10,000 SIGNATURES NEEDED BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT: Stand with Liz Cheney&#039;s FULL Investigation!&quot; screams a fundraising email from the Democratic Strategy Institute. &quot;ADD YOUR NAME TO STAND WITH CHENEY&#039;S FULL INVESTIGATION.&quot; And yes, that is a direct copy/paste from their email. They write the way an animal licking a keyboard might, only less intelligently because they&#039;re supposed to know better. But it gets dumber.&lt;/B&gt;
https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2022/02/07/the-liz-cheney-delusions-n2602903

It&#039;s hilarious to see Democrat morons embrace a Cheney...

Especially when, during the Bush years, a Cheney was Darth Vader...  

But, as we know..

&lt;B&gt;Hypocrisy.. Not a Democrat program bug. It&#039;s a feature.&lt;/B&gt;</description>

&lt;i&gt;...so I told her about this site and encouraged her to read the article to see if she liked it. I’m whipping us up some lunch when she asks,


“OMG!!! So…this Michale guy…he’s one of those INCEL guys you read about… angry, not smart enough to know what they don’t know; their personality prevents them from having consensual sex with anyone; blames EVERYONE —but himself — for HIS problems, right???”

THIS was the last post that she read before making that comment… so it made sense that she would think that. I told her that her guess made as much sense as any other to explain why you are this way.&lt;/i&gt;



&lt;b&gt;
OMG this is too funny!&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt; How do you feel about &quot;tightening up the rules about&quot; ***TWENTY TWO YEARS*** of Democrat BLM and AntiFa riots and attacks on HUNDREDS of government buildings all over the country???
&lt;/i&gt;

Yet you ignore the &lt;b&gt;***TWENTY SEVEN YEARS***&lt;/b&gt; of the Republicans’ support of Right-wing militias and of domestic terrorism — from Oklahoma City to the failed insurrection on the Capitol — Conservatives hatred of democracy continues on!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I had left my iPad open when a friend dropped by earlier and she asked what I was doing, so I told her about this site and encouraged her to read the article to see if she liked it. I’m whipping us up some lunch when she asks, “OMG!!! So…this Michale guy…he’s one of those INCEL guys you read about… angry, not smart enough to know what they don’t know; their personality prevents them from having consensual sex with anyone; blames EVERYONE —but himself — for HIS problems, right???”&lt;/I&gt;

Well, if this even actually happened, she&#039;s obviously frak&#039;ed in the head...  Since I have three great kids..  :D

The part you quoted isn&#039;t even from me..  :D

So, sounds like a load of bullshit...

But hay.. Have her come into Weigantia™ and defend her claims...   How about that??

Naaw.. She&#039;s a Democrat.. They don&#039;t have ANY strength of convictions..    :D

&lt;I&gt;I never knew the pain that being seen as not having a mum that pronounces your first name differently than your friends do has caused you! Ya’ll really work overtime to find new ways to be “victims”, don’t cha?&lt;/I&gt;

Are you drunk??  This makes absolutely ZERO sense to ANYONE...

But hay.. Like I said.. If she even exists, have your &quot;friend&quot; come here and make her case....

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yea, as if, eh?  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;&lt;b&gt; First… being white “feels like an absence: an absence of color, an absence of food that is ‘different’ and an absence of a mum who pronounces your name differently from the way your friends do.” There are plenty of examples of such condescension towards white people.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

		<description>&lt;I&gt;All the information coming out about the would-be fake electors and the plans to deny legitimate slates of electors in favor of slates chosen by state politicians gives weight to the idea that the president should be chosen directly by popular vote&lt;/I&gt;

Mob rule, eh??   

Yea, cuz THAT has always worked out so well, huh??

You really need to come to grips with reality...

The Electoral College power comes DIRECTLY from the US Constitution...

Democrats can no more get rid of the Electoral College than they could get rid of the 2nd Amendment...

As far as your denying &quot;legitimate electors&quot;???

Funny how you had NO problem with denying legitimate electors when Hillary lost the election and Democrats toyed with the idea of an end run around legitimate electors...

Which simply proves ya&#039;all are as bad as your accuse Republicans of being..

&lt;I&gt;Just tightening up the rules about January 6th isn&#039;t enough.&lt;/I&gt;

How do you feel about &quot;tightening up the rules about&quot; &lt;B&gt;***TWENTY TWO YEARS***&lt;/B&gt; of Democrat BLM and AntiFa riots and attacks on HUNDREDS of government buildings all over the country???

&lt;I&gt;{{ccchhhhiiiiirrrrpppp}}{{ccchhhiiirrrppp}}&lt;/I&gt;

Yea... that&#039;s what I figured...

		<description>All the information coming out about the would-be fake electors and the plans to deny legitimate slates of electors in favor of slates chosen by state politicians gives weight to the idea that the president should be chosen directly by popular vote and the Electoral College ended. Just tightening up the rules about January 6th isn&#039;t enough.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;GoFundMe, now nixing Canadian trucker fundraiser, promoted Capitol Hill Occupied Protest appeal
The fundraiser for the truckers was approaching $10 million

&quot;We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity,&quot; a statement from GoFundMe said.

However, despite its concern about &quot;occupation,&quot; in 2020 the platform not only allowed, but also gave its backing on social media to a fundraiser for a farmer working in the left-wing Seattle protest which occupied a six-block downtown area.

Scenes from Canada &#039;Freedom Convoy&#039; protest.Video
&quot;In a community with no police, this farmer is feeding people &amp; bringing them closer together,&quot; the tweet said with a link to the fundraiser. &quot;Learn how you can support Marcus&#039; mission within the CHOP&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gofundme-canadian-trucker-fundraiser-offered-support-capitol-hill-occupied-protest

Get that??

GoFundMe shut down the Canadian Truckers account because of alleged violence...

Yet GoFrakU had NO PROBLEM with the Democrat Terrorist Group AntiFa and even actively supported and PROMOTED their illegal and terrorist activities..

Proving once again, it&#039;s ALL about politics and ideology...

I hope the GOP can succeed in shutting down GoFundMe..

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Some Democrats privately acknowledge that law-and-order messaging still feels unnatural to some in the party, whose views and temperaments are more aligned with activists than officers.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has accused several Republican candidates of choosing &quot;lawlessness over law and order” by tying them to the Jan. 6 insurrection. But a senior adviser to the group made headlines in conservative media for tweeting that “police ... are coordinating with journalists to falsely manufacture ‘crime waves&#039;&quot; and push &quot;copaganda.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Yea...  :D  Like those who claim the &lt;B&gt;DEFUND, DEMORALIZE, DEMONIZE THE POLICE&lt;/B&gt; policy is a myth, these moron Democrats are trying to claim that the huge spikes in violent crime are nothing but &quot;copaganda&quot;...

Yea...  :eyeroll:  Good luck that that, Dims..   


&lt;B&gt;Gun laws have little hope of passing in Congress, of course. But Carville noted there’s always something Biden could dust off — the controversial 1994 crime bill he disowned as a &quot;mistake&quot; two years ago during the Democratic presidential primary.

“You can say whatever you want about the crime bill, but from the time the crime bill was passed until 2019, there was a significant drop in crime,” Carville said. “Now, you can argue causation, but you can’t argue correlation.”&lt;/B&gt;

WOULDN&#039;T THAT be a hoot eh!!??  :D

After Democrats forced Biden to dis-own the 1994 crime bill, Democrats would NOW be forced to EMBRACE the 1994 crime bill..

BBBBWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

How utterly hilarious is that!!!   :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;“Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies have emboldened criminals in Democrat-run cities,” said Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel.

The playing field has become so tilted toward conservatives on the issue that Sen. Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, has had some success trying to outflank his Democratic opponent on who supports the police most — even though his opponent, Rep. Val Demings, is herself a former police chief.

Democrats, led by Biden, have begun focusing more on reining in crime in a progressive way.&lt;/B&gt;


Claiming that the Democrat Party does not have a &lt;B&gt;DEFUND, DEMORALIZE, DEMONIZE THE POLICE &lt;/B&gt; policy is the epitome of political spin and political ignorance...

The ONLY possible claim that might have SOME basis in reality is that Democrats are trying to move AWAY from the &lt;B&gt;DEFUND, DEMORALIZE, DEMONIZE THE POLICE &lt;/B&gt; policy..  

Even THAT is a stretch because, right now, it&#039;s ONLY a few high profile Democrats who are trying to pull away from albatross that is the &lt;B&gt;DEFUND, DEMORALIZE, DEMONIZE THE POLICE &lt;/B&gt; policy...

Those few who are the exceptions to the policy simply prove the rule of the policy...

The Democrat Party is the the Party of &lt;B&gt;DEFUND, DEMORALIZE, DEMONIZE THE POLICE &lt;/B&gt; policy....

This fact is well documented..</description>

		<description>OK, so there are some people here who REALLY believe that there was NO &lt;B&gt;DEFUND, DEMORALIZE, DEMONIZE THE POLICE&lt;/B&gt; policies by the Democrat Party..

&lt;B&gt;How Democrats went from defund to refund the police

As crime rates rise ahead of the midterms, Black mayors of the nation&#039;s largest cities are leading the call to crack down on lawlessness.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/democrats-went-defund-refund-police-rcna14796

Then how does one explain the fact that some Democrat Mayors and such are &quot;REVERSING&quot; the policy???

If the policy didn&#039;t exist, there would be no need to REVERSE the policy, right??

How can one REVERSE a policy... how can one RE-FUND the Police if there was never a POLICY of DEFUND the police in the first place???

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Anyone?? Anyone??  Beuhler???&lt;/B&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The New Yorker’s Ken Auletta Warns Brian Stelter: ‘I Would Be Nervous’ if I Was At CNN Following Zucker’s Ouster

Auletta continued by mentioning John Malone, billionaire media mogul, who holds stake in the merger, “Ted Turner considered John Malone his top investor and advocate, so he felt that John Malone was actually behind him and behind the newscast that CNN had created.”

“Now, Malone has since criticized CNN for too much advocacy, too much commentary, too little reporting from the world,” stated Auletta, invoking Malone’s recent criticism of the network.

Auletta somewhat agreed with Malone saying, “There’s some merit to that. I mean, CNN had always talked about how we cover the world like no one else…Well, they don’t do it.”&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/the-new-yorkers-ken-auletta-warns-brian-stelter-i-would-be-nervous-if-i-was-at-cnn-following-zuckers-ouster/

And therein lies the EXACT problem with CNN..

They have forsworn covering hard news and hard facts and went with being an Activist Source, not a NEWS Source..

In a way, it mirrors the Democrat view on science..

Democrat &quot;science&quot; is nothing but poorly disguised activism...

I won&#039;t bore everyone with the whole content.. It&#039;s the NY Grime after all..

But it&#039;s conclusion that trust in government and trust in fellow citizens was key to preventing the COVID tragedies is very interesting..

It comes down to one single thing..

How Democrats politicized the pandemic and the science...

THAT is the worst aspect of the COVID Pandemic..

We know from the facts that Joe Biden and Headboard Harris are the parents of vaccine hesitancy..

And they sired the child SOLEY based on their PTDS.. President Trump Derangement Syndrome...

THIS is exactly why the COVID pandemic was made so much worse..  COVID was, at worst, a once a decade pandemic..

It was the Democrats who politicized every aspect of the COVID response that made this particular pandemic seem like a once a century pandemic...

Biden and Harris and Democrats have the lion&#039;s share of the blame for how bad COVID was..

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Critics of the provisions say they are likely to intimidate teachers and add to confusion. The latest batch of bills would increase pressure unnecessarily on beleaguered teachers, said Jonathan Friedman, director of free expression and education at PEN America, a left-leaning nonprofit that advocates for free speech. “Any parent who wants to know what their children are learning can do so without this invasive level of scrutiny,” he said.&lt;/B&gt;

Lemme ask....  

How is forcing teachers to adhere to FACTS and FACTS ALONE increasing a teacher&#039;s workload??

How is saying, &lt;B&gt;&quot;I want to know what you are teaching my child&quot;&lt;/B&gt; a form of intimidation??

WHY are teachers confused by transparency???

If a teacher is above board and truly believe they are morally and ethically right in what they teach, why is this teacher AFRAID of public scrutiny??

Teachers are afraid because they KNOW they are teaching ideological BS and they don&#039;t want this brought out into the light of public scrutiny..

That&#039;s the ONLY logical and rational conclusion that fits the facts..

Don&#039;t get me wrong.. I am sure there are great teachers out there.. Our own JL is a perfect example..

But these ideological-obsessed gives all good teachers a bad name..</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;GOP Lawmakers, Parents Push for Greater School Transparency

Bills seek broader access to class materials; many would bar teaching about issues such as critical race theory and penalize violations

Lawmakers in at least a dozen states are backing bills meant to increase transparency around school curricula, the next iteration of movements under way to bar teachers from promoting concepts perceived as divisive.

The bills, introduced by Republican legislators, would in some states allow taxpayers to sit in on classes or make staff professional development sessions open to members of the public.

For instance, a bill pending in the Indiana legislature would require school officials to post detailed information about instructional material and fulfill parental requests for certain material within 30 days. It also would require school officials to create parent-led curricular advisory committees, among other provisions.

“I, as a parent, should be able to see exactly what they’re reading, the kind of questions they’re being asked,” said Kara Cecil, an assistant professor of public health who has three children, ages 9, 11 and 14, in suburban Indianapolis schools.&lt;/B&gt;

Yes.. Yes!!! And again!!  YES!!!

This is EXACTLY what is needed..  More transparency as to what Democrat led schools are teaching our children..

One has to wonder WHY Democrats oppose this transparency..

WHY Democrats are afraid to have parents know what their kids are being taught...

As we saw happen at that Clay County school, we know why..

Because Democrats are forcing fact-less unscientific ideologically based crap down our children&#039;s throats..

THAT is why Democrats are afraid of transparency...</description>

<p>Bills seek broader access to class materials; many would bar teaching about issues such as critical race theory and penalize violations</p>
<p>Lawmakers in at least a dozen states are backing bills meant to increase transparency around school curricula, the next iteration of movements under way to bar teachers from promoting concepts perceived as divisive.</p>
<p>The bills, introduced by Republican legislators, would in some states allow taxpayers to sit in on classes or make staff professional development sessions open to members of the public.</p>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;On Thursday, Prime Minister Trudeau said his government had so far ruled out using the military to clear out protesters.

According to the BBC, he said: &quot;One has to be very, very cautious before deploying military in situations engaging Canadians.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Who would have thunked that a LEFT WING Canadian government would rely on fascist tactics to clear out righteous protesters???

Only those with more than 2 brain cells to rub together..  :eyeroll:

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Protests are for ME and not for thee..&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>Now let&#039;s take a stroll up to our Northern neighbor... :D

&lt;B&gt;Thousands protest vaccine mandates in Canada, further fraying nerves

TORONTO/OTTAWA, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Thousands of people demonstrated in Canadian cities, including the financial hub Toronto, on Saturday as mostly peaceful but noisy protests against vaccine mandates spread from Ottawa, the capital.

The &quot;Freedom Convoy&quot; began as a movement against a Canadian vaccine requirement for cross-border truckers, but has turned into a rallying point against public health measures and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau&#039;s government.

“We&#039;re all sick and tired of the mandates, of the intimidation, of living in one big prison,” said Robert, a Toronto protester who did not give his last name. &quot;We just want to go back to normal without having to take into our veins the poison which they call vaccines.”&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/canadian-cities-brace-more-anti-vaccine-mandate-protests-2022-02-05/

Care to throw in on this, Liz???

It seems that it&#039;s not only the US where the facts are coming out and people are sick and tired of the authoritarian gestapo-esque tactics at work here...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The collapse of CNN is now complete: 9 out of 10 viewers, gone. Its top-rated anchor, ?Chris Cuomo, gone. Its network president, gone. Its integrity in shambles.  

?Oh, and new management coming in that is signaling big-time changes ... changes that may bring CNN back to the proud network it once was before Jeff Zucker destroyed it. &lt;/B&gt;

If CNN really wants to pick itself off the ground, it should attach itself to President Trump&#039;s bandwagon...

President Trump is going to be with us for a long LONG time and CNN could bring itself back to it&#039;s former glory if they worked WITH President Trump..</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;But as much as CNN tried to resurrect its lead character — who was banned from social media and largely off the grid for the year — his absence ?clearly showed the network was a one-trick partisan pony. Ratings fell 90 percent overall when comparing January 2021 to January 2022. That’s hard to do. &lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;B&gt;CNN&#039;s collapse is now complete

But two years later, the move to insert heavy doses of partisan opinion into its news reports only accelerated when former President Trump — a Zucker hire at NBC for &quot;The Apprentice&quot; — jumped in to the 2016 presidential race. At first, CNN bear-hugged Trump&#039;s every move. (Hillary Clinton&#039;s giving a speech somewhere? Screw it. Let&#039;s show an empty Trump podium with chyrons stating &quot;Trump to speak soon&quot; instead.) The real estate mogul&#039;s 17 Republican challengers never had a shot; Trump blotted out the sun in terms of media coverage ?on his way to winning the nomination.

At that point, Zucker and CNN began to worry. Because while it was a ratings boon for the network to make Trump the centerpiece, there was growing concern that the guy could actually beat Hillary and become the nation&#039;s 45th president. So Zucker unleashed the hounds, but it was too late. Trump would go on to shock the world in November 2016.&lt;/B&gt;
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/592969-cnns-collapse-is-now-complete?rl=1

As with DRUDGE REPORT, President Trump singlehandedly brought down CNN..  :D

And, in BOTH CASES,  it could not happen to a more deserving news source...</description>

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2022/02/06/reading_writing_and_gender_bending_147132.html

Here&#039;s what I don&#039;t get about Democrats..

They claim that they are ALL about science...

Yet, they IGNORE the biological FACT that there are only 2 genders..

According to Democrat Facebook, there are 56 genders...

So, how can Democrats be ALL about science when they believe that gender is a &quot;state of mind&quot; and not a biological fact???

*EVERYTHING* about the Democrat Party is a contradiction between what they say and what they do...

Why is that??</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;“Until 1981, this powerful body, the Supreme Court, was all white men. Imagine. America wasn’t all white men in 1981, or ever. Under President Biden and this Senate majority, we’re taking historic steps to make the courts look more like the country they serve.”&lt;/B&gt;
-Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer

Uh.. Chucky???

Thurgood Marshall spent 24 years as a Supreme Court Justice after being nominated in 1967...

What IS it about Democrats that they are so ignorant???

Chucky&#039;s ignorance is compounded by the fact that it was 1991, not 1981, when the SECOND black American Clarence Thomas ascended to the SCOTUS as a Justice..

And that SECOND black American was nominated by a Republican...

So, no matter how you wanna spin Chucky&#039;s ignorant spiel...

It&#039;s all pure bupkis....</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;If someone as prominent and successful as Joe Rogan can fall prey to this kind of malicious witch hunt, what does that mean for those with less power?

The mounting pressure on Spotify to remove The Joe Rogan Experience is indicative of a much more malignant trend that is attempting to corral all dissent into a digital gulag, while the official narrative remains untouched and unchallenged by divergent perspectives. No matter what your political perspective may be, nobody is safe when the &quot;basket of deplorables&quot; is ever expanding.&lt;/B&gt;

That&#039;s what Democrats don&#039;t realize about the here and now..

		<description>&lt;B&gt;In other words, the majority of the so-called Left of the American public are inclined to support corporate censorship despite it being glaringly in contradiction with the liberal values they espouse.&lt;/B&gt;


Which simply proves beyond ANY doubt that Democrats ONLY care about their ideology...

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Lulu Cheng Meservey perfectly summed up the major contradiction in the liberal wing&#039;s crusade to attack alleged spreaders of misinformation while conveniently ignoring their own mistakes.

The trend of the political, liberal establishment coercing platforms to censor private individuals who contravene its narrative and damage its reputation is not only unconstitutional when it involves government actors; it&#039;s corrosive to all forms of dissent. This trend transcends political lines and affiliations and can impede anyone&#039;s ability to engage in the dialogue that holds those in power accountable.

And yet, these disturbing calls for corporate censorship and government overreach are sadly becoming the norm on the Left. A recent Pew Research Center poll showed that 65 percent of liberals believe the U.S. government should take steps to restrict false information online, even if it restricts freedom of information, and a whopping 67 percent of liberals believe tech companies should take steps to restrict false information online, even if it limits freedom of information.&lt;/B&gt;

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Will no one rid me of these troublesome FACTS!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Democrats

Democrats are ALL about tolerance and acceptance of ideas...

EXCEPT when that includes tolerating and accepting ideas that go against Democrat orthodoxy...

THEN it becomes &lt;B&gt;&quot;OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

&lt;B&gt;Hypocrisy.. Not a Democrat programming bug.  It&#039;s a feature.&lt;/B&gt;

The blatant and ongoing hypocrisy is nauseating... Made more so by the fact that Democrats don&#039;t even SEE it...  

To Democrats, hypocrisy is as natural as breathing....</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The Joe Rogan/Spotify controversy is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to coercing private platforms to appeal more directly to the establishment&#039;s agenda under the guise of &quot;combating misinformation.&quot; Last year, Substack came under fire for similar reasons, with accusations levied at the platform of profiting off and creating a safe haven for &quot;dangerous ideas and misinformation.&quot; Substack&#039;s vice president of communications, Lulu Cheng Meservey, responded aptly that &quot;if everyone who has ever been wrong about this pandemic were silenced, there would be no one left talking about it at all.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

This bears repeating again and again and again..

&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;&quot;if everyone who has ever been wrong about this pandemic were silenced, there would be no one left talking about it at all.&quot;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;


Fine... You Democrats want to silence ANYONE who has ever been wrong about the pandemic??

FINE...

As with racism and hate and bigotry???

Clean up your OWN house first!!!!</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Last year, openly questioning the usefulness of cloth masks was shut down by the liberal mainstream—yet now the CDC has cast doubt on their utility. The list goes on: Corporate liberal media browbeat the population into accepting the notion that vaccination curbs transmission of the virus—but in the past year, we have seen this claim repeatedly proven false, with spiking cases even among those who received the booster.

It is utterly hypocritical for establishment liberals to accuse skeptics and dissenters of willfully spreading malicious &quot;misinformation&quot; and call for unconstitutional censorship of their perspectives when their own &quot;facts&quot; have been shown time and again to be fungible&lt;/B&gt;

drip.... drip.... drip.....  

Democrats are losing the war drip by drip by drip by drip...

Their own actions are bringing about their own demise!!  :D

LOVE IT!!!</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;COVID has pushed this penchant to another level. Just a year ago, it was considered treasonous heresy and even &quot;racist&quot; to question the narrative pushed by the liberal establishment that the coronavirus has zoonotic origins. The &quot;lab leak&quot; theory was considered beyond the pale—though now, just one year later, it is the consensus view of COVID-19&#039;s likely origins.&lt;/B&gt;

Simply another indication that the Democrats&#039; grip on the narrative is slipping..

The FACTS are coming out and exposing all the hysterical fear mongering and science-less BS that Democrats pushed during the pandemic...

And all of this is coming out in a drip drip drip manner that will STILL be happening in the run up to November..

GUARANTEEING a Democrat slaughter in the mid-terms..

I mean.. Honestly...  What&#039;s not to love???   :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The Left Is Weaponizing &#039;Misinformation&#039; to Silence Dissent

Just as you thought the 2020s couldn&#039;t get any more dystopian, we are now witnessing the enthusiastic embrace of corporate censorship by the Left in the name of combatting the nebulous scourge of &quot;misinformation.&quot; Joe Rogan, the most popular podcaster in the English language, has found himself at the center of a firestorm of progressive ire, from scientists to celebrities to rock legends to White House spokespersons acting in their official capacity, all for the crime of allegedly spreading dangerous misinformation and endangering public health.

This absurd pushback is not new; progressives and outraged &quot;experts&quot; have been anxiety ridden for years over the prominence of Rogan&#039;s podcast and its wild success. But the straw that broke the camel&#039;s back has been Rogan&#039;s open skepticism about official COVID narratives. This skepticism has pushed liberal establishment outrage to such a fevered pitch that that it provoked White House press secretary Jen Psaki to urge Spotify, the platform that hosts Rogan&#039;s podcast, to &quot;do more&quot; to combat COVID misinformation on the platform.

Labeling skepticism about official narratives &quot;misinformation&quot; is steadily becoming the liberal establishment&#039;s favored tool to silence and defame dissenting perspectives. The term &quot;misinformation&quot; is often employed with such reckless abandon that one need not actually spread malicious falsehoods to be assailed by it. Thus, a comedian like Rogan, who makes no claim to intellectual authority or expertise, is now at the center of this ridiculous controversy.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.newsweek.com/left-weaponizing-misinformation-silence-dissent-opinion-1675949

Democrats are simply falling all over themselves trying to silence dissent with HUGE disinformation and outright bullshit campaigns...

And, what&#039;s so great, is that they are FAILING over and over again and making the subjects of their attacks EVEN STRONGER!!!

So, Democrats are on their demise and Democrats are accelerating that demise by trying to silence those that Democrats believe are not worthy of listening too...  Thereby making MORE Americans want to listen to those people that Democrats are trying to silence!!

Anyone read the Trek book ISHMAEL??  It&#039;s a Time Travel book that puts Spock in the 1800s in Seattle, WA..

Basically the Klingons tried to go back in time to fuck with the earth by killing an earthman of the period who was instrumental in helping President Grant stop an alien invasion at the time..  But Spock was transported back in time with the Klingons and met up with that man and helped that man survive..  In doing so, Spock introduced the man to the future and how there are menacing aliens out there which, in turn, led the man to advise President Grant to resist the subsequent invasion by a race called the Karsid, which were the precursors to the Klingons.. (as an aside...  Klingon??? Clinton??? Coincidence???  hmmmmmmmm)

In any case, by their OWN actions, the Klingons brought about the VERY events they were trying to prevent!!

Which is EXACTLY what Democrats are doing today....  

By trying, and FAILING, to stop these viral media and social platforms, they make those viral media and social platforms even MORE popular!

The Ishmael Effect!!



I love it!!!  :D</description>

		<description>Speaking of Joe Rogan...

We have a double Whammy for ya&#039;all this morning..

From the ONLY Official Weigantian™ Acceptable UnBiased and Objective News Source, Real Clear...

And from Glenn Greenwald, who USED to be the Democrat Poster Child for &quot;truth&quot; and justice... That was until GG maintained his integrity and started calling out Democrats for their blatant Hypocrisy...

&lt;B&gt;Hypocrisy.. Not a Democrat program bug.  It&#039;s a feature.&lt;/B&gt;

&lt;B&gt;Glenn Greenwald: The Media Are Making Their Targets Stronger Because They Fail At Attacking Them

&quot;To justify their efforts to pressure Spotify to remove Joe Rogan, employees of media corporations claim to be deeply concerned by the &quot;disinformation&quot; he is spreading. Yet nobody spreads disinformation more aggressively, destructively or recklessly than these media corporations, strongly suggesting some different motive in wanting Rogan silenced.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>Someone remind me again how the Democrat Party is NOT the Cop-Hating Party..????

&lt;B&gt;California substitute teacher berates teen for supporting &#039;confederacy&#039; over pro-police mask

The teacher argued the thin blue line flag is &#039;not American&#039;

A substitute teacher in California was caught on camera lashing out at a 13-year-old student wearing a pro-police thin blue line face mask, saying it’s the new version of the Confederate flag. 

&quot;That’s not the American flag, that’s the new confederacy flag,&quot; the substitute teacher said in the video to a student at Lyman Gilmore Middle School in Grass Valley.

Lucas Lillar, 13, was wearing a thin blue line face mask last Monday in a math class when the &quot;unprovoked&quot; verbal altercation unfolded. His father and stepmother are both in law enforcement and Lillar often wears the face mask. &lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Nevertheless, President Biden and Democrats like Nadler are seeking to take control over state election laws in the name of democracy. It does not matter if they are using the same anti-democratic measures as they accuse Republicans of wielding, because their motivations are purportedly pure even if their means manifestly are not.


There will be challenges this year to gerrymandered districts by both parties. While the Supreme Court said in 2019 that political gerrymandering is constitutional in Rucho v. Common Cause, such changes can be struck down when they result in the dilution or suppression of minority voters. The Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on one such race-based challenge to new districts in Alabama. A similar challenge in Illinois failed despite districts that rival Nadler&#039;s in fantastical, illogical shapes to gain Democratic seats.&lt;/B&gt;

Thanx to Sinema and Manchin Democrats failed in their attempt to unconstitutionally federalize State elections...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;For example, in New York Democrats want to add four new seats through gerrymandering, to try to retain control of the U.S. House. One district is designed to guarantee the reelection of Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which has held hearings on the evil of  — you guessed it  — gerrymandering. 

Gerrymandering is to politics what doping is to sports. It is universally viewed as a cheat, an effort to manipulate districts to guarantee electoral victories. Drafting coherent districts evenly and logically to divide populations is not particularly difficult. School districts usually are designed to evenly distribute populations with schools as center points; those school districts often serve as voting locations. Once you depart from such logical divisions, however, political pressures produce a grotesque progeny of malformed districts.

The Nadler district would make Elbridge Gerry blush. In 1812, Gerry — a Founding Father, vice president and governor of Massachusetts — signed off on a district designed to guarantee a seat for the precursor of today&#039;s Democratic Party. The district resembled a salamander, so the Boston Gazette deemed it the “Gerry-mander.”&lt;/B&gt;


The stench of hypocrisy from the Democrat Party is over-whelming...

Again, I have to marvel how ANY sane intelligent American can support the Democrat Party..

It&#039;s simply mind-boggling...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;&#039;Dismantling Democracy&#039; to save it: 

How Democrats rediscovered the joys of rigging elections

&quot;Voters should choose their representatives — not the other way around.&quot; With those words late Friday night, President Biden celebrated a decision by North Carolina’s supreme court rejecting new state legislative districts that favored Republicans. The ruling was used to support Biden&#039;s past portrayals of Republicans as the enemies of democracy, including their use of gerrymandering. 

Biden is not alone. Former President Obama condemned Republican gerrymandering efforts as threatening democracy. The liberal Brennan Center has declared that &quot;gerrymandering is deeply undemocratic.&quot; Liberal commentators insist the choice is simple: &quot;It’s restricting gerrymandering or being complicit in the dismantling of democracy.”

Biden was careful to keep his focus on North Carolina in stating that &quot;for too long, partisan gerrymandering has allowed politicians to rig the political process and draw districts in their favor.&quot; Indeed, it required an impressive act of myopia to avoid noting that Democrats have engaged in raw gerrymandering in various states, too. But the North Carolina decision could seriously undermine Democratic plans in other states to rig elections and gain seats in Congress.&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Bragg’s profoundly stupid policies are by no means an outlier. Los Angeles County’s radical district attorney, George Gascón, has made eliminating cash bail his top priority, resulting in a 160 percent year-over-year increase in stolen freight train packages from Amazon, FedEx, and UPS. And in Philadelphia, the district attorney, Larry Krasner, is already on schedule to surpass last year’s record 559 homicides, with at least 38 murders already occurring this year.

Will anything improve?

Last week, Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams released a 15-page “Blueprint to End Gun Violence,” which entails bringing back the NYPD’s plainclothes anti-crime unit which the previous soft-on-crime mayor, Bill de Blasio, disbanded in 2020. That’s a good start, but it will take more than photo ops and platitudes for New Yorkers to actually feel safe again.

The violent crime, lawlessness, and looting we’re seeing across the country is the direct result of the policies of far-left politicians who have repeatedly peddled the lie that police officers and our criminal justice system are systematically racist.

No amount of revisionist history can change that fact.&lt;/B&gt;

The moron, Bragg is not an isolated case..

EVERYWHERE there are moronic Democrat Progressives....

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Is there another kind??&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Colonel Nathan R Jessup, A FEW GOOD MEN

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Bragg also noted in the memo to his assistant DAs that they “must recognize that most gun violence is driven by a small number of people in a small geographic area, and not every person charged with possessing an illegal gun in New York City is a driver of violence.”

By Bragg’s brazen standard, there would have no been need to classify the lunatic who shot and murdered two NYPD officers with a gun he obtained illegally as a “driver of violence.”

Finally, Bragg noted in the memo that his office will “seek dispositions that avoid immigration consequences for all misdemeanors, and all felonies for which non-incarceratory outcomes are the presumptive outcome.” In other words, if a migrant illegally crosses our border and hops a turnstile to ride the subway while in possession of an illegal firearm, not only will they almost certainly not be deported, but there won’t be consequences of any kind.

How’s that for justice?&lt;/B&gt;

This is the Democrats&#039; idea of &quot;justice&quot;...

How ANY sane law abiding American can support Democrats is simply beyond my understanding...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Bragg’s memo also stated that in almost all instances, fare evasion, trespassing, driving with a suspended license, traffic violations, prostitution, and resisting arrest should no longer be prosecuted. It remains unclear how exactly an officer is supposed to arrest a violent criminal who steals hundreds of dollars of merchandise from a store if resisting arrest is no longer a prosecutable offense. But apparently, Bragg seems to think that officers only enjoy arresting people for no apparent reason.&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;B&gt;But Bragg seems to have an interesting understanding of what he considers to be “justice.” Apparently, he means “community safety” for criminals but not for victims.

In his memo, Bragg promised to appoint an executive DA who would oversee new policies related to “alternatives to incarceration, reentry, and restorative justice.” He also promised to completely dissolve Manhattan’s Conviction Integrity Unit and replace it with a “Free the Wrongfully Convicted Unit.” He also pledged to disband the sex crimes unit entirely and replace it with a “survivor-centered, trauma informed” unit.

Sensing a trend here? In Bragg’s warped reality, criminals are the victims of a supposedly unjust system.&lt;/B&gt;

And that represents EXACTLY what is wrong with Democrats and their Party...

They see racism everywhere and, in their warped minds, the ONLY &quot;just&quot; solution is MORE racism...

It&#039;s what CRT teaches...  That racism is PERFECTLY acceptable as a form of retribution against those that were racist in the distant pass..

JL, I believe it was you who said a while ago that, since racism is defined as coming from only those with &quot;power&quot; that black people cannot be racist because they don&#039;t have any power..  

If I mis-attributed what you claim/meant, please feel free to correct the record...

In any case, as we see today, black Americans have MORE power than they should..  SOLELY based on the color of their skin...

Which is simply one more fact that proves that the Democrat Party is STILL the racist Party..</description>

Two NYPD officers, Jason Rivera, 22, and Wilbert Mora, 27, were killed in January when a deranged man fired at them with a stolen Glock 45 after they responded to a 911 call in Harlem.

Just two days later, an officer was shot in Washington, D.C., and four days after that, three more officers were shot in Houston. Fortunately, none of those officers’ injuries appear to be life-threatening.

Thousands of NYPD officers and citizens flooded the streets of 5th Avenue to pay their respects to Rivera, a rookie cop who was honored with a funeral service at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and posthumously promoted to Detective First Grade.

In an emotional tribute, Rivera’s high-school sweetheart, Dominique Luzuriaga, made it clear that she believed radical progressive policies were directly responsible for her husband’s murder.

“Although you won’t be here anymore, I want you to live through me. This system continues to fail us. We are not safe anymore, not even the members of the service,” Luzuriaga said. “I know you were tired of these laws, especially the ones from the new DA. I hope he’s watching you speak through me right now.”

Luzuriaga was referring to Alvin Bragg, New York County’s first black district attorney, who is now facing backlash for his infamous “Day One” memo, in which he wrote a letter to his staff stating that his new policies “reflect both the need for fundamental reforms in the criminal legal system and the need for community safety. The two goals of justice and safety are not opposed to each other. They are inextricably linked. We deserve and demand both.”&lt;/B&gt;

You see, it&#039;s NOT just the Democrat Party&#039;s attitude towards LEOs that is the problem here..

It&#039;s ALSO the Party&#039;s pro-criminal anti-victim attitude that is causing problems..

Democrats coddle criminals and re-victimizes the victim all over again..

No bail... Reducing violent felonies to meaningless misdemeanors.

It&#039;s all part and parcel to the Democrat Party and it&#039;s anti-America policies...

As a direct result???

Come November, Democrats are going to be relegated to Minority Party status for decades...</description>

<p>No bail... Reducing violent felonies to meaningless misdemeanors.</p>
<p>It's all part and parcel to the Democrat Party and it's anti-America policies...</p>
<p>As a direct result???</p>
<p>Come November, Democrats are going to be relegated to Minority Party status for decades...</p>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Democrats Are Responsible for the War on Cops

They have pushed the idea that criminals are the victims.

war on cops is brewing across the country, and the Democrat Party is directly responsible for aiding and abetting it. They can deny it all they want, but they have blood on their hands.

Following George Floyd’s death in 2020, calls by Democrat politicians to defund or “reimagine” the police, in conjunction with soft-on-crime district attorneys, have led to a massive increase in homicides as well as an all-out assault on police officers.

According to the National Fraternal Order of Police, 2021 was one of the deadliest years for police officers. A total of 346 officers were shot last year, resulting in 63 deaths, a 55 percent increase from 2020. The number of officers involved in ambush-style attacks ?also increased by 115 percent in 2021 compared to 2020. In total, 130 officers were shot in 103 ambush attacks last year.

If the first month of 2022 is any indication, these trends show no sign of improving. At least 24 police officers were shot in January.&lt;/B&gt;
https://spectator.org/democrats-are-responsible-for-the-war-on-cops/

And to think there are actually STILL Democrats (&lt;I&gt;{{cough}}{{cough, cough}}&lt;/I&gt; Russ &amp; JM etc etc) who believe that there is no war on cops..  

STILL believe that Democrats don&#039;t have a &lt;B&gt;DEFUND, DEMORALIZE, DEMONIZE THE POLICE&lt;/B&gt; agenda..   :eyeroll:</description>

https://news.yahoo.com/column-democrats-more-credit-more-110014676.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall

This author&#039;s opinion is to make Joe Manchin President and let Manchin run things..  :D

The idea is intriguing...

But one thing is preventing it from becoming reality..

The ego of the Democrat Party..

They simply cannot admit that it&#039;s their Anti-America policies is the cause of their misfortune..

In that, Democrats are like Palestinians.. Their own worst enemies..

They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity..</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The Nasty Double Standards That Make This SCOTUS Nomination So Toxic


Republican Sen. Roger Wicker wants to howl about “affirmative action.” And Republican Sen. Ted Cruz wants to cry about “offensiveness.” That’s a shame. There’s a lot to be learned from so much of what is new about this slate of potential nominees. By lumping the whole class of women into a category that has somehow been deemed “lesser” to so many critics, we’ve both essentialized and lost all the really remarkable differences. We’ve also presumptively pitted them all against each other in ways that also flattens their unique gifts and pathways.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/the-nasty-double-standards-that-make-this-scotus-nomination-so-toxic/ar-AATu35r

As usual, Democrats completely miss the point of all this..

Since the do it so often and so thoroughly, one must assume they are doing it on purpose..

If they are doing it by accident, that just makes it all the more sad..

NO ONE is saying that, just because it&#039;s a black woman, that there CAN&#039;T be competence..

All RATIONAL NON-RACIST people are saying is that, if you limit your search to just &lt;B&gt;TWO PERCENT&lt;/B&gt; of the availability pool, then the statistical probabilities of you getting a quality candidate are virtually NIL...

Let me put it another way..

Let&#039;s say you want to choose a quality SCOTUS candidate and you have the ENTIRE US POPULATION to choose from..

But you limit your choice for a *QUALITY* SCOTUS candidate to just red head women...

You have effectively limited your choice for a *QUALITY* SCOTUS candidate to just 1.6% of the US population....

WHY would anyone do such a boneheaded thing???

What kind of utter MORON would limit the search in such a manner???</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Opting Out of Whiteness
For decades, immigrants fought to be considered white. Now that trend is reversing.

First, being white is often equated with being uncultured, boring, and privileged. Mona Chalabi, a British writer of Iraqi descent who works for The Guardian, writes that being white “feels like an absence: an absence of color, an absence of food that is ‘different’ and an absence of a mum who pronounces your name differently from the way your friends do.” There are plenty of examples of such condescension towards white people.

Second, being considered a minority comes with social and professional benefits. When applying for jobs, universities, scholarships, grants, or any number of career opportunities, non-white applicants are often given a leg up in the name of equity and diversity. Some who want their ethnic group to be considered a minority hope it will lead to newfound professional advantages. 

It’s unsurprising, given these incentives, that many people don’t want to be counted as white. &lt;/B&gt;
https://www.persuasion.community/p/opting-out-of-whiteness

It&#039;s why Fauxchohantas wanted to be  native American....

But when the FACTS finally came out, she was only 1,024th native American...

*I* have more native American that Warren has...   :eyeroll:

Ya&#039;all know what Democrats remind me of??

Ya&#039;all remember that old 80s movie SOUL MAN with C Thomas Howell???

Of course such a movie could NEVER be made today, but it was a pretty hilarious movie in it&#039;s time...  I highly recommend it..

For those who DID see the movie, you remember that ditzy blonde who was doing C Thomas because he was &quot;black&quot;...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Yunno, I don&#039;t think there is &#039;white&#039; or &#039;black&#039;... All I see is shades of gray...&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Really ditzy stuff..

Towards the end of the movie everyone ***SPOILER ALERT*** finds out that C Thomas is not black, but white...

So, at the end, this ditzy blonde hooks up with a native American guy....

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Yunno, I don&#039;t think there is &#039;white&#039; or &#039;red&#039;... All I see is shades of pink...&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Democrats are that ditzy blonde..  They use race to get what they want..  In the ditzy blonde&#039;s case, she wanted to get boned by men of different races...

Democrats want to bone the country using people of different races to do so...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;A few years ago in Chicago, Biden’s old boss, then President Barack Obama addressed the nation’s police chiefs. He talked smoothly about wanting to help police do their jobs. But he wouldn’t say three words that every cop wanted to hear:

Mandatory minimum sentencing.

That would have cost Democrat votes, so Obama didn’t mention it.

And on Thursday in New York, the same avoidance. Biden just could not speak the three words causing great American cities to suffer, or draw attention to what we all can see, even though Democrats are responsible for those three words and will pay the price in November.

What are those three words?

Woke Rogue Prosecutors.&lt;/B&gt;

You see, this isn&#039;t a new conundrum for Democrats.. 

Democrats have been anti-Cop for DECADES....

What IS new is that the American people are finally waking up and finally coming to grips with the FACT that it is Democrat policies and Democrat policies ONLY that has brought us to this point..

And Democrats are going to pay the price this coming November...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Biden did not mention newly elected Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who has moved to drop armed robbery to a misdemeanor. He didn’t mention Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx who has dropped more cases than her predecessor, and who decriminalized shoplifting, incentivizing the smash-and-grab gangs that destroy businesses and frighten customers from prime shopping districts.

The president didn’t mention the election of Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, or rogue left-wing San Francisco prosecutor Chesa Boudin, whose parents were convicted cop killers, and who was raised by terrorists in Chicago, albeit former Weather Underground terrorists with supreme Chicago Way political connections. They helped launch Barack Obama’s political career in Chicago.

Democrats would rather avoid the cause of the growing sense of lawlessness. They become quite angry if you mention that sense of lawlessness in connection with Soros, and their allies in media may defame dissidents who dare mention Soros and prosecutors. I know. I dared. It’s one one reason that I’m now free, writing for my own site here at johnkassnews.com&lt;/B&gt;

Democrats just love to attack the messenger when said messenger brings news that Democrats don&#039;t like..

We see that here in Weigantia™ all the time..  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;If he had talked in any detail of the work done by local prosecutors, he’d have had to remind Americans about all those George Soros backed Democrat prosecutors, from New York to Chicago to San Francisco and elsewhere. The woke among them reject criminal law as written by state legislatures. They make their own law, their Social Justice Warrior law, which feeds the anarchy in the big cities.

That’s why Biden’s dog wouldn’t bark. It would have hurt his Democratic Party allies. So his handlers muzzled that dog. Joe didn’t even bring a bag. He just turned on his heel and walked away. Biden’s pet pundits won’t mention what he avoided, because Democrats won’t talk of crime.

But Americans who are most concerned about crime won’t ignore it. They can’t afford to ignore it. They’ll remember in November.&lt;/B&gt;

This is exactly why Democrats are going to be completely creamed in November..

Because the American people will not forget that it was Demcorat&#039;s cop-hating policies that got us to this explosion of violent crimes we are experiencing today...

Democrats are toast...</description>

		<description>Wait for it..  Wait for it...  Listen... Wait for it....

&lt;B&gt;Except for one thing that was missing from the president’s speech.

For years I’ve been telling you to look for what’s not mentioned in the approved media narrative, to listen for what is not said, to strain your ears for any sound from that dog that didn’t bark; to look in the negative spaces surrounding the political actors dancing on stage. It is that negative space and those things left unsaid that tell you some of what you need to know.

So, what was missing from the president’s speech?

Local prosecutors.&lt;/B&gt;


DING!! DING!!!  DING!!!!  DING!!!!

THERE is the current Democrat policy..  

It&#039;s part and parcel to the DEMORALIZE portion of Democrats&#039; &lt;B&gt;DEFUND, DEMORALIZE, DEMONIZE THE POLICE&lt;/B&gt; policy...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Back then the Democrat slogan was “silence equals consent.” 

Now they hope corrupt corporate media will be silent about what Democrats did and did not do on crime. But Americans aren’t likely to forget by November, and so the president rushed to New York to declare his support for law-enforcement. It was nothing but a dog and pony show, the blah-blah-blah of a politician protecting a vulnerable flank.&lt;/B&gt;

Oh, make no mistake..  Democrats are STILL all about SILENCE GIVES ASSENT....

Which is why no one here can respond to my comments..

Because the accompanying facts only allow for ONE logical and rational response..

Assent...

Agreement...

Concession...

Well, I guess that&#039;s THREE logical and rational responses..  :D  But the all amount to the same thing..

No one here can argue the facts so the facts stand...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;That part about Biden not being in favor of defunding police was important to him, so his wordsmiths made certain it was there. But what was missing from the president’s speech?

I read the White House transcript, and watched Biden’s speech. And yes, the important part was nowhere in his blah-blah-blah about “ghost guns” and the need for the feds to cooperate with locals on gun trafficking between states. Democrats have a crime mantra, “gun violence” to avoid mentioning street gang violence. There are many guns in the suburbs, especially now, and suburbanites aren’t slaughtering each other.

 Like an old dry cork, President Biden bobs along on currents formed by the left wing of the Democratic Party. The hard left calls the shots on policy. And polling data shows Americans are deeply concerned about the anarchy and chaos of crime, as city after city breaks records for murders, shootings and carjacking.  For far too long, Biden was silent on the growing chaos in cities, hiding in his basement, as public order came under political and physical attack by Democrat thought leaders. And cities were torn apart, businesses were looted and burned in those “mostly peaceful” Black Lives Matter riots.&lt;/B&gt;

Biden rose hiding in one&#039;s basement to an art form...

Of course Biden SAYS he is against defunding the police.. NOW he says it..  

But, while STILL being for defunding police, Biden ALSO supports no bail policies and Biden supports reducing violent felonies to erstwhile low end misdemeanors...

ALL of that comes under the DEMORALIZE part of Democrats&#039; &lt;B&gt;DEFUND, DEMORALIZE, DEMONIZE THE POLICE&lt;/B&gt; policies...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The Democrats are now in agony over crime, from their support of Black Lives Matter rioters who were quite useful leading up to the 2020 elections, to their war on cops, and their defund-the-police push. And all that led to the elections of a number of soft-on-crime rogue Democrat prosecutors of the left, in the big cities across America that are now suffering crime spikes.

“Mayor Adams,” said the president addressing New York Mayor Eric Adams after the shootings and killings of police officers rocked the city, “you and I agree, the answer is not to abandon our streets. The answer is to come together, police in communities building trust and making us all safer. The answer is not to defund the police. It’s to give you the tools, the training, the funding, to be partners, to be protectors.”

He talked of federal efforts, yes, but federal authority isn’t on the front line of crime. Biden is responsible for an American border he refuses to protect, and he may be blundering us into war to protect Ukraine’s borders a world away. But presidents aren’t mayors or prosecutors who are elected by local communities to set the tone on what they will tolerate and what they won’t.&lt;/B&gt;

Biden has NO PROBLEM sending US troops to guard another country&#039;s border...

Yet, Biden refuses to guard our OWN border??

And why??  Because Biden and the Democrats know that they NEED those tens of millions of illegal immigrants to vote in the coming elections..</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The Dog That Didn’t Bark: Three Words Biden Would Not, Could Not Say In NY Crime Speech

With violent crime skyrocketing across America and the blame at the feet of the Democrats where it rightly belongs, President Joe Biden went to New York on Thursday for an urgent presidential clean-up mission.

He had to do something about the Democrat Party’s mess on crime as the November mid-term elections approach. So Biden decided to make a speech and gaslight the nation.

It oozed sincerity. And if there’s one thing he can do, it’s to ooze sincerity. But a critical component was missing. It was a simple thing really, but vitally important to a president who reportedly loves dogs.

It was as if Biden forgot the plastic bag that most of us take with us when we walk our dogs.

And the president just left it there.&lt;/B&gt;
https://johnkassnews.com/three-dangerous-words-missing-from-bidens-ny-crime-speech/

Biden&#039;s (and by extension, the Democrat Party&#039;s) efforts on street violence has been not only a dunsel, but the efforts have actually made the problem worse..

I mean, what result would anyone who is logical and rational expect when the Democrat Party... AS a PARTY.. went on a hysterical and violent bender in their furtherance of their &lt;B&gt;DEFUND, DEMONIZE, DEMORALIZE THE POLICE&lt;/B&gt; agenda...

I mean, honestly..  What did Democrats EXPECT would happen??

Did Democrats HONESTLY believe that, with LEOs cowed and trussed up, handcuffed by the very people the LEOs were sworn to protect...  Did Democrats HONESTLY believe that the hardcases and criminals and scumbags would miraculously quit their criminal ways when their never ending foe, the LEOs, were gutted???

Is THAT really what Democrats thought would happen???

		<description>&lt;I&gt;education week had an article awhile back on the topic, which i&#039;d advise anyone who wants to be informed on the topic to actually read.&lt;/I&gt;

Funny thing about that article..

All of the &quot;examples&quot; it provides of systemic/institutionalized racism are DECADES old..

Which simply proves my point..

Systemic/Institutionalized racism is dead in this country.. It died the day we elected a black American as POTUS..

It was further proven dead the day we elected a black American as VPOTUS...

I have FACTS that prove my case..

Anyone have any facts to prove I am wrong???

&lt;I&gt;the point of it isn&#039;t to blame white people for all society&#039;s ills,&lt;/I&gt;

Except for the fact of those Democrats who USE CRT to do exactly that...

&lt;I&gt;it&#039;s to get scholars to think about racial discrimination&lt;/I&gt;

Fine.. Get &quot;scholars&quot; to think about it..

But we&#039;re not talking &quot;scholars&quot;.. We&#039;re talking CHILDREN with minds that are being molded and bended by this racist garbage..

&lt;I&gt; as something that happens unintentionally and systematically.&lt;/I&gt;

Prove it...

You can&#039;t because there are no conclusive facts that prove the claim beyond a reasonable doubt..

Mark Furhman proved beyond ANY doubt that PROVING racism is not only possible... It&#039;s fairly easy...

This being fact, if systemic/institutionalized racism is so &quot;obvious&quot; and &quot;prevalent&quot;, then it should be EASY to find the facts that prove it beyond a reasonable doubt..

Yet, Democrats STILL can&#039;t find ANY facts that prove the claim..

		<description>Russ,

Except for the Reacher around part, I gotta agree...

Ritchson is the quintessential Reacher...  And the Childs novel that the first season is based on was a real page turner!!

On my wish list now is to remake the 2 Reacher movies with Ritchson replacing Cruise as Reacher...  :D</description>

		<description>LOVE REACHER!!!  Wouldn’t turn down a Reacher-around from Alan Ritchson, that’s for sure.  That man has muscle in his poop!   And its been filmed all over Georgia around many of the small towns that I lived and worked so many years ago.</description>

		<description>i can&#039;t speak for any other district or educator, but if i handed out a reading list of sources from which students could choose, and one sixth of the optional sources were based on CRT, that does NOT mean i&#039;d be teaching from that point of view. that said, i have read a little of that literature, and it&#039;s nothing remotely like the bogeyman the right-wing media make it out to be. the point of it isn&#039;t to blame white people for all society&#039;s ills, it&#039;s to get scholars to think about racial discrimination as something that happens unintentionally and systematically.

		<description>Funny how GoFundMe tries to defraud conservative and patriotic causes...

But GoFundMe has NO PROBLEM with Democrat BLM and AntiFa terrorists who have spent the last 22 years (collectively) attacking hundreds of government buildings all over the country and causing the deaths of HUNDREDS, including at least 8 cops..   HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS injured..  BILLIONS of dollars in damages...

But GoFundMe has NO PROBLEM  with THOSE groups...   :eyeroll:</description>

&lt;B&gt;GoFundMe backtracks on redistributing money for Canadian truckers, under threat of fraud investigation

Crowdfunding platform says it will automatically refund $10 million in donations
Facing a potential fraud investigation by the state of Florida, GoFundMe reversed a decision to redistribute money given by thousands of donors to the Canadian &quot;Freedom Convoy&quot; protesting COVID-19 regulations.


On Friday, the crowdfunding platform GoFundMe froze the convoy&#039;s official campaign, claiming law enforcement convinced the company that the convoy had become violent and unlawful.

GoFundMe encouraged donors to submit a refund form, and said that any funds not properly returned to donors would be donated to a charity chosen by the Freedom Convoy.

Within hours, however, GoFundMe walked back the refund applications, instead announcing it would be refunding donors automatically.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that he would &quot;investigate&quot; the company, accusing them of fraud.&lt;/B&gt;

Once again, Gov DeSantis slaps Left Wing fraudsters down!!!  :D

		<description>It is against the Law to destroy presidential records.  did anybody tell M. trump that he was violating federal Law when he tore up these papers and threw them on the floor?  He should be prosecuted by the Attorney General who would have an open and shut case against him. once convicted he should serve time for this crime.  why is he being given a pass on this by Biden?  Is Biden so afraid of his MAGA followers that he is ignoring this egregious crime?</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Bullshit. Actual quote:&lt;/I&gt;

Bullshit..

Actual quotes from Democrats, including Weigantians..

&lt;B&gt;CRT IS NOT BEING TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS BELOW THE COLLEGE LEVEL&lt;/B&gt;

&lt;I&gt;The course is not based on CRT but does contain it as part of the curriculum. &lt;/I&gt;

So, CRT *IS* being taught in public schools below the college level..

It&#039;s also being taught in Detroit schools..

So, Democrats LIED...

&lt;I&gt;Reading wins over faux outrage, again...&lt;/I&gt;

And FACTS win over your BS spin.... AGAIN...</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The point is, they denied teaching it..

THEN they were caught teaching it..

They lied..&lt;/i&gt;

Bullshit. Actual quote:

&lt;i&gt;In a statement to The Epoch Times, Dan Burns, superintendent of Salinas Union High School district, denied that the course was based on CRT, though he conceded that CRT &quot;is addressed in our course as one of the frameworks within the K-12 Ethnic Studies Outcomes list.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

CRT is not mentioned in the course description and comes up only three times in the syllabus as three of the eighteen suggested articles in the reading list.

The course is not based on CRT but does contain it as part of the curriculum. Which is what the superintendent said. No lie there. 

And that disqualifies the rest of your rant.

On the other hand, Kali Fontanilla&#039;s quote:

&lt;i&gt;&quot;This was like extreme left brainwashing of these kids,&quot; says Fontanilla. &quot;Critical race theory all throughout the lessons, from start to finish. The whole thing.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

According to the syllabus is a lie. 
 
Reading wins over faux outrage, again...</description>

Morons like you are perfectly accepting of it...

It&#039;s called hypocrisy..

		<description>&lt;B&gt;During the 2020 fall semester, Kali Fontanilla—a high school English language teacher working in the Salinas, California, school district—noticed that many of her students were failing one of their other classes: ethnic studies. This was at the height of the pandemic, and instruction was entirely online, leaving many students in the lurch. Still, Fontanilla thought it was odd to see so many Fs.

Salinas has a majority Mexican population; all of Fontanilla&#039;s students were Hispanic and were learning English as a second language. Education officials who propose adding ethnic studies to various curriculums—and making it mandatory, as the Salinas school district did—typically intend for privileged white students to learn about other cultures. There&#039;s a certain irony in requiring members of an ethnic minority to study this, and an even greater irony in the fact that such students were struggling intensely with the course.

&quot;My students are failing ethnic studies,&quot; says Fontanilla, who is of Jamaican ancestry. &quot;I would say half of them are failing this ethnic studies class.&quot;


This made Fontanilla curious about what the course was teaching. All of the high school&#039;s teachers used the same online platform to post lesson plans and course materials, so Fontanilla decided to take a look. She was shocked by what she saw.

&quot;This was like extreme left brainwashing of these kids,&quot; says Fontanilla. &quot;Critical race theory all throughout the lessons, from start to finish. The whole thing.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Democrat run public schools are all about indoctrinating children..

Brainwashing our children with a complete and utter ideologically based America hating curriculum...</description>

Education officials who propose adding ethnic studies to various curriculums—and making it mandatory, as the Salinas school district did—typically intend for privileged white students to learn about other cultures. There's a certain irony in requiring members of an ethnic minority to study this, and an even greater irony in the fact that such students were struggling intensely with the course.</p>
<p>"My students are failing ethnic studies," says Fontanilla, who is of Jamaican ancestry. "I would say half of them are failing this ethnic studies class."</p>
<p>This made Fontanilla curious about what the course was teaching. All of the high school's teachers used the same online platform to post lesson plans and course materials, so Fontanilla decided to take a look. She was shocked by what she saw.</p>
<p>"This was like extreme left brainwashing of these kids," says Fontanilla. "Critical race theory all throughout the lessons, from start to finish. The whole thing."</b></p>
<p>Democrat run public schools are all about indoctrinating children..</p>
<p>Brainwashing our children with a complete and utter ideologically based America hating curriculum...</p>

&lt;B&gt;Hispanic Students Were Forced To Learn Critical Race Theory. They Hated It.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Since I know all of you come here for my movie recommendations, here&#039;s one.. :D

AMERICAN UNDERDOG

A definite MUST SEE...&lt;/I&gt;

Speaking of movies and TV...

Ya&#039;all remember the Tom Cruise/Jack Reacher movies, right??

Casting a skinny wimp like Tom Cruise to be Reacher was completely and utterly ridiculous...  For those here who actually can read a book, Jack Reacher is a 6&#039;5&quot; hulk of a man... And a Military Police officer as I am...  

So I have a special affinity for the Jack Reacher series...  Leftist/Democrat Hollywood casting someone like Tom Cruise in the role was.. well... simply an example of Leftist/Democrat moronicity...   Don&#039;t get me wrong.. The movies were good..  Very close to the novels...  It was the casting that totally blew it all to hell...

Well, the good people at Amazon have rectified Leftist/Democrat Hollywood moronicity....

&lt;B&gt;REACHER&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MKZTJF4?ref=dvm_crs_imd_us_sy_rchr_d_hpto_prem

My lovely wife and I will be starting the series tonight..

I&#039;ll report back tomorrow morning how good it is...

But, at least with the casting, it&#039;s spot on...  :D</description>
