See ya'all in the morning..

56% of respondents said they would support a ban, while 34% said they would not. A little over a third of those respondents identified as Democrats, while 37% identified as Republicans, and just under a quarter identified themselves as Independents, according to the survey by the American Principles Project Foundation.

In another question, respondents were asked whether they supported or were against children being pushed into a sex change. Around 63% of respondents agreed that children were too young for the decision. Around 22% of respondents believed that opposition to gender transitioning was transphobic.

Let me repeat that for the cheap seats..

Gender Dysphoria is an ABNORMALITY.. A mental health problem.. It needs to be CURED.. Not catered to..

You wouldn't cater to a child with COVID.. Why would you want to cater to a child with mental health issues??

Medical professionals have told Fox News they have seen rates of gender dysphoria skyrocket among young people in recent years

Once again..

The Democrat Party is on the WRONG side of the American people..

So, they settled on PLAN B...

Republicans demand Biden admin immediately address baby formula shortage: 'This is not a third world country'

'This is a crisis for families,' said one lawmaker
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/republicans-demand-biden-admin-immediately-address-baby-formula-shortage-not-third-world-country

Starving the babies to death after they're born...

:eyeroll:

A-frakin'-men to THAT!!!

I thought you might..

YOU are a good example of a good teacher..

You need to straighten out the Democrats.. Imagine listening to the CHILD and not the parent..

"I want to start smoking and drinking but my parents say NO."
-8 yr old child

"Well, then.. We don't have to listen to your parents. Your parents aren't safe. You should be able to make your OWN decisions.. Here, have a drink and a cigarette.. Now, why don't you sit right here next to me all comfy and cozy like.. Tell me, Johnny. Have you ever been to a Turkish Bath??"
-Democrat Teacher

Would you obey the parent's instructions??

Or the 5yr olds' orders??

His performance overall has been mediocre, but I'll take that over the breakneck excitement of a trump white House every day and twice on Sundays.

You prefer dull and incompetent over excitement and awesomely good at the job???

Agree to disagree.. :D

'And because I had my principal and my superintendent’s support, there wasn't much they can do,' one educator said
https://www.foxnews.com/media/elementary-school-teachers-parents-wishes-students-pronouns

So... According to Democrats, parents are no longer "parents" any more...

They are "caregivers"...

It's like Democrats are TRYING to lose big in November..

:eyeroll:

Awwwww... Feelings mutual.. :D

Indeed.

I just get tired real fast of having to settle for mediocrity, at best. :(

Ukraine will be a "basket case" for many decades as a result of actions taken and not taken by Biden and NATO. That much is clear as a bell.

Thanx JL and Liz.. That means a lot.. Sincerely..

This ain't rocket science.

i'm sure CW is busy with something important. he wouldn't let a fortnight of nonstop expletive-laced temper tantrums go unchecked otherwise. in case i didn't mention it, i'm very proud of you for taking the high road yet again, in spite of some pretty filthy provocation.

Cammack's claim comes as American parents worry about a shortage of baby formula
https://www.foxnews.com/us/gop-rep-illegal-migrants-pallets-baby-formula

Now THAT's just WRONG!!

So... Would you say that it might have been better that Biden LOST the election. At least his reputation would have been intact and he could have exited politics on a somewhat high note??

I thought I made myself clear about that??

I would say and have said that if Biden wasn't the Democratic nominee in 2020, then Trump wouldn't be a one-term president. As it stands now, I don't think Trump will ever be president again and that is a very good thing.

Biden sacrificed quite a lot by running in 2020 and my appreciation for that knows no bounds!

By the way, if Biden hadn't run in 2020 or if he had lost to Trump - which he almost did! - then I am as sure as I can be that Biden would NOT have gone out on a high note in any of your books. So, there!

Today’s ‘Diversity’ Oaths Resemble 1950s ‘Loyalty’ Oaths

It is rare to meet someone with true moral courage, someone who risks everything to do what he knows is right. I was privileged to know such a man, George Anastaplo. His story, set during the Red Scare of the 1950s, needs to be told because it applies today, when political zealots again demand rigid conformity.

George, a boy from rural Illinois, refused to bow down to the most powerful lawyers in his home state. He knew their demands were wrong, even though he could have easily and truthfully said “yes” to their substance. He refused solely because he thought asking him violated basic guarantees in the U.S. Constitution.

The time was the early 1950s, and the demands came from ideological crusaders on the right, who insisted on anti-communist loyalty oaths. Today’s crusaders come from the left, demanding pledges of support for “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI). More on today’s ideological frenzy in a moment, but first, George’s story.

George was never admitted to the bar. Instead, he taught political philosophy for six decades, wrote multiple books on political thought and civil liberties, eventually teaching at Loyola University’s law school. He was also our neighborhood Socrates, walking the streets of Hyde Park (near the University of Chicago) into his mid-80s, meeting friends and engaging in the kind of rigorous conversations recounted in Plato’s Dialogues.

Why does George Anastaplo’s moral courage matter for us today? Because we are enduring another age of ideological zealotry, coupled with demands to “sign or resign.” Or never be hired in the first place.

Today’s clearest analogy to anti-communist oaths are those demanding adherence to statements of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” The crucial point here is not the specific content of DEI statements. You might agree or disagree with them. The crucial point is that it is improper to make these demands for political conformity.

Leave it to Democrats to bring back McCarthy'ism... :^/

You can’t count on the federal government to do its job and punish the people turning Supreme Court jurisprudence into a violent three-ring circus. At this point, you can’t even count on the pro-abortion crazies not to kill one of the conservative justices — because the way they see it, rubbing out one of them would take the Dobbs majority from five to four, amounting to a strategic coup which the rest of us wouldn’t think wise but they do. Especially given the rewards the Left reaped from the George Floyd riots.

Because they aren’t going to peel off Alito or Clarence Thomas, or for that matter, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett, from that majority through intimidation.

The only responsible thing to do if you’re John Roberts in the current circumstances is to flip the pressure valve and publish the Dobbs decision.

Once that’s done, there is no further direct motivation for the kind of insanity we’re seeing. Generalized political violence and riots, sure — that motivation is that it’s an election year and rioting worked in 2020, after all.

But even the dumbest people on the Left know that looting and burning again this year is a dicey political gamble.

That decision needs to be published. Now. That Roberts hasn’t made it happen, more than a week after the leak, is just plain irresponsible. I don’t care if the dissents haven’t been written — it’s the side of the dissenters causing this urgency. Especially if it turns out to be Sotomayor’s clerk who leaked this thing.

And if it continues, and something awful happens, it’ll be cause for Roberts’ impeachment. It’s just that simple.

I am forced to agree with this reasoning..

Roberts should join the majority and release the opinion immediately...

Russia threatens to deploy nuclear warheads on Finland's border
https://www.foxnews.com/world/kremlin-finland-nato-move-threat-to-russia

Apparently, Putin is not as stoopid as Biden thinks he is...

Since your disgusting attack on my mother who passed away, I vowed never to respond to you again..

But this is just too blatant to let pass un-noted...

If you like your home, CW, address One Demand before I have to protest outside of your home. :D

Are you TRYING to get banned???

Because such a threat is a BLATANT violation of policy, not to mention common decency, and no one would say diddley if the Weigantian Administration wiped you from Weigantia..

*smh*

If Putin had any sense at all, he would attack Finland BEFORE Finland is actually part of NATO..

That way, Putin can do to Finland what he's doing to Ukraine and Biden/NATO would just whine, "Finland is NOT part of NATO.. Nothing we can do..." :eyeroll:

It also would not be surprising if this clerk leaked it on orders from Sotomayer...

Sotomayer is mudd...

And meanwhile, a group of Democrat fascists calling itself Ruth Sent Us, a bizarre name given that its namesake, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, was pretty critical of Roe v. Wade as terrible law even if she was pro-abortion, are now disseminating the home addresses of Supreme Court justices for the express purposes of breaking federal law.

Because it’s illegal to harass judges at their homes to try to intimidate them or otherwise change their judicial opinions.

Everybody at Ruth Sent Us, in a country with a Justice Department which wasn’t completely compromised and corrupted, would have been hauled into jail and subjected to the precise treatment the January 6 protesters have enjoyed.

The January 6 protesters were there to demonstrate against what they saw as a corrupt presidential election — and oh, by the way, Dinesh D’Souza’s new movie 2,000 Mules makes an awfully good case that they were right. What are the Ruth Sent Us goons who have chased at least one justice out of his home — Samuel Alito, who wrote the opinion, and his family have been moved to a secure location thanks to death threats from the mostly peaceful firebombers and others in the streets — demonstrating against?

It's amazing that a group that portends that they represent RBG... Who was as critical of RvW as Alito in the majority SCOTUS Opinion..

Hypocrisy. It's not a bug in Democrat programming. It's a feature

NAILED IT!!!

What’s Roberts Waiting On?

It’s been a week and the inaction on Dobbs is dangerous.

Over the weekend, Jed Babbin was exactly correct in his characterization of the leak, quite possibly by a Sonia Sotomayor law clerk named Amit Jain if the speculation is correct, of the Supreme Court’s decision in the Dobbs case which would reset our jurisprudence back to something more manageable than the dog’s breakfast of activism and black-robe politics we’ve been mired in for half a century.
https://spectator.org/whats-roberts-waiting-on/

Sotomayer is mudd in the SCOTUS...

We should wait til President Trump is back in the Oval Office and force Sotomayer to retire...

Where's the McCloskeys when ya need them, eh??

Of course black American lives only MATTER when their deaths can be used as a blunt instrument to beat people over the head with..

Otherwise, black lives don't matter a bit to Democrats and BLM...

The FACTS prove this conclusively...

To patriotic Americans who actually LOVE their country???

Nothing..

To America/cop hating Democrats??

A mean tweet... :eyeroll:

It has become abundantly clear that the Democratic Party sees me as a member of a downtrodden voting bloc that primarily cares about prison reform, reparations and if white people are nice to me.

The Democratic Party before my very eyes has morphed into an anti-liberal and identity-driven political party that promotes black gatekeeping, superficial symbolism aimed at its black voters and policy-driven lowered expectations. It has chosen to wholeheartedly embrace the woke-progressive social outlook by viewing black people as permanently unfortunate victims rather than historical victors against governmental tyranny and highly capable of excelling without needing political handouts.

People like Sunny fail to understand that former Democrats like myself didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left us. Democrats have taken extreme positions that political moderates like me find undesirable, and they’ve become insufferably illiberal.

The Republicans, meanwhile, have become the party of classical liberalism by advocating against censorship while fighting to protect our children from the very ideological extremists that the Democrats willfully platform.

Sunny may live in a wealthy progressive New York City bubble, but in future elections, her bubble is going to burst when she realizes that the Democratic Party is hemorrhaging voters, including their convenient political footballs, black voters.

It is no wonder that the Democrat Party is losing black American voters by the millions..

Debunking Sunny Hostin’s claim that black Republicans are an ‘oxymoron’

This gatekeeper mentality that Sunny possesses prevents her from honestly assessing why someone black would consider voting Republican. The simple answer to her question: the same reason anyone from any other race would vote for the Republican Party. They feel that their personal interests or values are more represented by the GOP, whether you agree with their interests or not.

I think, however, the most pertinent question to ask today is: Why should black Americans continue to blindly vote “blue” when many are disappointed with the Democratic Party’s behavior?

Why should I continue to vote for a party that uses black people as a political football when it deems it necessary to toss us around? Why should I continue to vote for a party that platforms woke white supremacists who claim that no matter what I do, I will never have more privilege than them? Why should I continue to vote for a party that thinks infantilizing black people helps any of us?
https://nypost.com/2022/05/09/debunking-sunny-hostins-claim-that-black-republicans-are-an-oxymoron/

Claiming that a black Republican is an oxymoron is a completely and utterly bigoted and racist statement..

The Democrat Party is STILL the Party of racists..

This is what happens when one let's hate and bigotry cloud reason and logic.

Democrats/Trump-America haters created a STRONGER President Trump with their actions..

They told the world that President Trump is a danger to Democrat Party rule so he had to be eliminated..

Democrats brought about the very thing that they had hoped to prevent..

A STRONGER President Trump..

I have lost most, if not all, of the faith I had in Biden. What surprises me about that is how soon it happened.

Yunno.. There is one thing that could restore your faith in Biden and make him the man he used to be...

So what do Biden's handlers do?? They have Biden cancel oil and gas lease sales...

Does anyone need any more proof that Biden's handlers are out to ruin this country??

I mean, seriously.. I know that the Green morons want to push gas prices to $10 a gallon so they can implement their green agenda...

But they are being so stoopid because gas prices are tied closely to winning (or in Democrats' case, LOSING) elections..

MORONS...

It's a good thing we didn't let this lying scumbag become a SCOTUS Justice...

McConnell's plan was definitely the correct way to go..

Many more pundits will likewise dissect the ramifications blah blah blah but first, Trump and his minions completely ignore the bad news and glorify the good. They live in a different reality.

As opposed to the reality that Democrats and Trump/America haters and Weigantians live in where they completely ignore the good news and glorify the bad??

Personally, I like the REAL reality much better than the reality that is filled with hate and bigotry..

Musk slams media with enlightened brain meme over 'inaccurate, slanderous' reportage

The New York Times recently published a critique based on the mogul's upbringing in South Africa

Tesla CEO Elon Musk appeared to fire back Wednesday at proverbial fake news and attacks on him from the press, sharing an adjusted version of a popular meme featuring the human brain.

Musk has been the target of criticism, largely from left-leaning outlets, in the weeks since he announced his bid to buy Twitter for about $44 billion, and bring the social media platform more in line with free-speech principles.
Last week, the New York Times published a story about Musk's upbringing in South Africa, describing the nation he left as one "rife with misinformation and White privilege."

The article claimed Musk might have been "insulated from the harsh reality" of the Apartheid system, growing up in suburban Johannesburg, quote, "where black people were rarely seen other than in service of white families living in palatial homes."

The suggestion, observers claimed, was that that experience during Apartheid could cause the mogul to be dulled to hate speech if he progresses with his plans for the site.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/musk-media-tweet-enlightened-brain-meme-new-york-times

Democrats and the Media are going to push Elon further and further away....

Which means that Elon will be pushed further and further to the Right...

Once again, Democrats PROVE that they are their own worst enemies..

JL, I still want to hear your thoughts on this issue..

Democrats can't say that.. They know that they would be laughed out of office.. Even more so than they are already going to be.. :D

So... Would you say that it might have been better that Biden LOST the election. At least his reputation would have been intact and he could have exited politics on a somewhat high note??

As opposed to now, when his exit from politics will be as the POTUS that made Carter look like Lincoln...

One could say that ALSO applies to Weigantia, eh? :D

Of course, PTDS requires.. no.. DEMANDS.. that Democrats concentrate on the one minor loss and ignore all the big wins. :eyeroll:

I mean, I still believe he was the only Democrat on the planet who could have beat Trump in 2020 and I still thank God that he did. But, the way he has handled the Ukraine/Russia file has been nothing short of catastrophic, mostly for Ukraine.

As for the economy, well, I have given up on the idea that Democrats have the first clue about how to sink the Republicans on this file, Trump or no Trump. I'll change my tune when I hear one of them utter the phrase Republican cult of economic failure. I ain't holding my breath, naturally. :(

And, they will need more than pie to get out of it.

Right up to the moment he becomes radioactive and then stand aside for the rush to the exits.

Second, I read your column CW but definitely I'll skip any further punditry on the subject.

I'm doing so because I'm glad I ignored months of anxious coverage of negotiations with Manchinema because nothing but the end result mattered.
