as badly as Biden, maybe even worse

Many fatalists see America in decline and China ascendent. China’s dictator, Xi Jinping, agrees in public. But beneath the shiny new infrastructure, the amazing economic growth and competitiveness, China has faces a reckoning, just as it prepares to mark a century of its Communist Party. (snip) China under the near-dictatorial rule of Xi Jinping is alienating most of the world’s advanced economies.

I was utterly disgusted yesterday watching President Biden speak in Tulsa on the solemn occasion of the 100th anniversary of race riots there that cost lives and destroyed a community of African Americans. Biden dishonored the memory of the victims by politicizing the event, primarily directing his bile against Republicans, whom he lied about and demonized as racists. I turned off the coverage, and missed Biden very foolishly turning his lies into an attempt to bully fellow Democrats whose support he badly needs. (snip) Nothing quite as good as being lied about, after having loyally supported the liar, to make a senator reconsider the wisdom of unqualified support.
Apparently, no one in the Kamala Harris camp was thrilled when Joe Biden fobbed off onto her the job of stemming the surge at the border. (snip) Now the truth comes out: Harris's staff were actually panicking, according to this report from CNN:
After the announcement, Harris' aides appeared to "panic," according to one of the officials, out of concern that her assignment was being mischaracterized and could be politically damaging if she were linked to the border (snip) very quietly, real diplomats are taking the lead here, having to cover up for Kamala's amateur-hour selfie diplomacy nonsense.
The GOP must die. The Grand Old Party is over and unsalvageable. The name finds its origin in the post-Civil War era as the party that saved the Union, but whatever positive connotations may have come with the GOP moniker are dead and gone now. Today, GOP conjures images of gray hairs at the country club and board meetings at Halliburton, and it seems the only thing it is nterested in saving is the status quo. There was a time when these perceptions could be dismissed as partisan pejoratives, but at some point, Republican Party leadership chose to embrace and embody the characterization.
We are told every day that in America we follow the science. If that is so, how can it be that government officials are encouraging pre-pubescent children, with or without parental consent, to make life-altering decisions that lack a firm scientific foundation? It all starts in schools (snip) How many gender dysphoric children today and tomorrow will be encouraged to undergo detrimental experimental medical therapies because they were prescribed the wrong “cure” by social justice government advocates blazing blindly forward on a path to sexual-orientation equality? Potentially millions.
Stockholm Syndrome over Mask Wearing
19 replies
Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where “hostages or abuse victims bond with their captors and abusers.” This bonding can occur over days, weeks, or months of captivity and abuse. Rather than being terrorized by their captors, hostages sympathize with them, developing positive feelings, sharing common goals and causes, and essentially falling in love with their captors. (snip) A modern-day version of the Stockholm Syndrome is playing out after over a year of COVID captivity. Americans have been held hostage by medical czars like Dr Anthony Fauci, totalitarian governors named Cuomo, Newsom, Whitmer, Murphy, and Wolf, and big media, including cable news giants CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News.

Fauci will be gone in 90 days

A lot has happened in the last two weeks that may result in the retirement of Dr. Anthony Fauci. The face of the government’s Covid-19 response may have finally met his Waterloo. The way things are going, a forced retirement at age 80 may be the best outcome that “Dr. Doom” can expect.
It turns out that all roads to Covid-19 – even more than we expected – lead back to Fauci. Finally, after a year of stonewalling and obfuscation, the news about Fauci’s apparent role in directing U.S. government funding to the notorious Wuhan Virology Lab
It all started with a Twitter post by a woman who calls herself Mia Khalifa, which I suspect is a pseudonym since it is the name she used when starring in pornographic videos, where stage names are the norm. You can see a collection of her body of work here, but for God’s sake, don’t open the link around children or at work, or in the presence of anyone with a weak stomach.
Ms. Khalifa’s gimmick as a porn actress was stressing her Arab heritage (she is originally from Lebanon) and she started out some of her videos appearing in a hijab headscarf.
Deception Wearing the Mask of Truth

For Joe Biden/Kamala Harris devotees, the 2020 ubiquitous election lawn signs in my neighborhood read “Truth Hope Decency.” (snip) Yet the substance of decency has eluded Joe Biden and his Democrat handlers, ushering instead a new era of grotesque depravities, where at the top Biden/Harris have endorsed, supported, and invited the unrestrained abject horror of drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and human trafficking via a deliberately porous open southern border, resettling unaccompanied children all across America.

'egg on their faces' over their
cheap dismissal of Wuhan lab-leak theory 15 replies
It's a little late, but according to the Daily Mail, the media is finally admitting it:
Liberal media reporters and pundits admitted over the weekend they were wrong to dismiss the Wuhan lab leak theory just because it was espoused by former President Donald Trump. (snip) The reporters and commentators who did this weren't reporting news, they were advancing a political "narrative," acting like the 27 year-old reporters who know "nothing," as Obama-era spinmeister Ben Rhodes once contemptuously said of them. They were boobs in the service of charlatans, and yes, they do have egg all over their faces.
Listen up, proles: your failure to unquestioningly obey the useless mask mandate is going to cost you. The surge in passenger misbehavior on airlines, partially attributable to mask mandate resistance, is ending steerage class passengers their access to intoxicants while airborne. American Airlines has announced that it:
…will delay selling alcoholic beverages this summer to main cabin passengers due to the uptick in bad passenger behavior in recent months that includes refusing to wear masks (snip) Ruling class members can relax, though. Those who can come up with the money for business and first class seats apparently are exempt from the booze ban
Biden vs. Alzheimers

In the week leading up to Memorial Day 2021, President Biden made a number of incredibly stupid remarks. (snip) at Cuyahoga Community College in Ohio, Biden ran into his usual problem with grade school arithmetic by being unable to manipulate two-digit whole numbers, saying, “As my mother would say, ‘Who died and left them boss?’ (laughter). Well, I'm serious about it. Now, so you got over 50% (of corporate profits) goin' to stock buy-backs, and the other percent, I think it's 42% -- ah, g-g-let me see, 56 -- it's, forty uh-h-h -- no; it's 38%, goes, to, um, dividends...”

Well this sounds a little racist.
Joe Biden on Tuesday delivered a speech on the 100-year anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre.
Biden was being his old perverted, racist self on Tuesday.
He just can’t help himself.
Joe Biden made a racist remark during his speech after telling little girls in pigtails they would get ice cream if they sat through his speech.
“The data shows young black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are, but they don’t have lawyers, they don’t have accountants, but they have great ideas,” Biden said.
President Joe Biden asserted Tuesday that terrorism from white supremacy was “the most lethal threat” facing the United States.Biden spoke about the threat of white supremacy during a speech in Tulsa marking the 100th anniversary of the 1921 race massacre in the Greenwood neighborhood.
“According to the intelligence community, terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today,” Biden said. “Not ISIS. Not Al Qaeda. White supremacists.”Biden was likely referring to a statement from acting U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, who told members of Congress that white supremacy was “the most persistent and lethal threat” to the United States in September 2020.
In a wide-ranging interview, former President Barack Obama reflected on right-wing backlash to the election of the nation’s first Black president that saw the emergence of Donald Trump and acceleration of a “shift” in the Republican Party. “That’s been the history of America, right?” he told Ezra Klein in The New York Times. “There is abolition, and the Civil War, and then there’s backlash, and the rise of the KKK, and then Reconstruction ends, and Jim Crow arises, and then you have a civil rights movement, a modern civil rights movement, and desegregation,” he said. Mr Obama added: “What I
The Republican Party successfully captured the record for ‘Worst Political Strategy in World History.’ There is no way they could have performed any worse. What were they thinking?It’s pretty clear after decades of failures and the rise of the Marxist left in the US that Republicans are not the brightest politicians and strategists.They somehow stumble into wins. Their policies make sense and most Americans agree with these policies. But Republicans have a knack for losing even when wins are handed to them.

‘Growing Violent Extremism

‘Big Lie’ That Trump Won 36 replies
Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “we have a growing violent extremism movement in the United States” spreading “the big lie” that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election.
When asked about a 1/6 commission, Crow said, “The question now is of timing. If Mitch McConnell said we’ll take another vote on this, I think the question for Speaker Pelosi and Chuck Schumer is, do we believe him that this will be a vote in good faith? We had 54 votes on Friday. We think there were a couple more people who would have voted had they been present.

In a heartbreaking and revealing interview on The Ari Hoffman Show on Talk Radio 570 KVI, President of the Seattle Police Officer’s Guild Mike Solan said regarding police officers leaving the department, "At the end of this month [May]…we will be close to 300 officers (leaving), that’s a third of the agency." (snip) In August, the Seattle City Council defunded the department in response to the riots following the death of George Floyd.
Does Anyone Actually Like Adam Schiff?

There are some Members of Congress you see and think, “I get it, I can see how that person got elected.” Either they’re charismatic, smart, attractive, have that “it” factor, or some combination of those traits and you get it. Then there are some who have you thinking they made some kind of deal with the devil to get there – personality-less, weird, creepy, almost soulless people who’d say or do anything if it helped them, even a little. California Congressman Adam Schiff is the perfect example of that.
The US could be hit with beef shortages and price rises after the world's largest meat producer was forced to close all of its plants due to a cyber attack which the White House has blamed on Russian hackers. JBS - which supplies 20 per cent of all beef and pork in the US - warned the Memorial Day weekend hack could disrupt its supply chains and increase prices up up to 30 per cent.JBS received a demand from 'a criminal organization likely based in Russia' following the attack that has affected its operations in Australia and North America, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday.
President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may consider a plan to bring deported illegal aliens back to the United States, presumably paid for by American taxpayers.
The open borders lobby shared a plan with the Biden administration to bring illegal aliens deported by former President Donald Trump’s administration back to the U.S., according to the Associated Press (AP). More than 935,000 illegal aliens were deported by the Trump administration.
The plan, open borders activists with the corporate-backed National Immigrant Justice Center suggest, could be done through executive order by Biden and create an office inside DHS that allows deported illegal aliens to submit requests to return to the U.S.
Former President Donald Trump is telling people that he will be reinstated as president by August according to a report, after his original National Security Advisor Michael Flynn said a Myanmar-style coup 'should happen.'The New York Times' Maggie Haberman commented Tuesday on a CNN story that showed Trump supporters expressing support for a Myanmar-style coup to bring Trump back. 'Trump has been telling a number of people he's in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August (no that isn't how it works but simply sharing the information),' the journalist wrote on Twitter.
Vice President Kamala Harris' was tasked by President Biden with dealing with the crisis at the US-Mexico border, but now she's distancing herself from that crisis she cannot solve. Harris' team explained that Harris isn't supposed to be dealing with the border, that this was never her job. Instead, she's meant to handle the "root causes" of migration. For Harris, those include climate change and violence against LGBTQ people. [snip] Harris has come under critique for refusing to set a time to visit the southern border. Now it seems she has no plans to go at all because she doesn't think it's relevant to her job.
