McAuliffe doesn't deserve reelection
Posted By: Moritz55, 10/15/2021 5:42:51 PM
How do you know a Democrat is scrambling to recover from a blunder? Or that a Republican threatens to win an election Democrats thought safe? Or that the guy on the left has run out of arguments? You know, because that’s when the Democrat calls his Republican opponent a racist. The vile accusation has become an all-purpose slur that left-wingers hurl at conservatives to end debate because they can’t defend their own views. Terry McAuliffe has reached this point in his race to become governor of Virginia.

You know, because that’s when the Democrat calls his Republican opponent a racist. The vile accusation has become an all-purpose slur that left-wingers hurl at conservatives to end debate because they can’t defend their own views.
Terry McAuliffe has reached this point in his race to become governor of Virginia.
Three years ago, the only people who’d ever heard of Pete Buttigieg were likely to be residents of South Bend, Ind., the town of 103,000 people where he served as mayor.
South Bend is home to Notre Dame University. It has a bus station with a fleet of 60 buses, a small train station and a small regional airport. So, who better for Team Biden to nominate as secretary of the Department of Transportation, which employs more than 58,000 employees – more than half the population of South Bend – and has a budget of $87 billion?
As the natural consequences of bad public policy continue their inevitable assault on the American economy, Democrats with national ambitions are going to be increasingly reluctant to let voters pin Joe Biden's tail on their donkey. This may help explain why the president is not getting a lot of help, even from his own inner circle. We aren’t getting the plans we were promised. Instead, we're getting thin smoke and faded mirrors that aren't fooling anyone. Joe Biden may be aging and confused, but what's the excuse for Vice President Harris' failure to address the border crisis, Secretary Buttigieg's failure to contain the shipping crisis, or Secretary Blinken's
A University of Michigan music professor is facing backlash after showing the 1965 film "Othello" with star Laurence Olivier in blackface, a school official announced.
David Gier, dean of the School of Music, Theatre & Dance, said a new professor will be taking over the class previously taught by Bright Sheng to "allow for a positive learning environment," The American Spectator reports.
"Professor Sheng’s actions do not align with our school’s commitment to anti-racist action, diversity, equity and inclusion," Gier said last week, adding that Sheng has been reported to the Office of Equity, Civil Rights, and Title IX.

Marine who criticized Afghanistan withdrawal 14 replies
A U.S. Marine who posted videos on social media criticizing military leadership and the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan will face a court-martial hearing next Thursday and Friday at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller Jr. faces six misdemeanor-level charges, including willfully disobeying a superior commissioned officer, dereliction in the performance of duties and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, the Marine Corps said in a release.
Scheller was freed from the brig last week where he was being held for violating an agreement to stop posting criticism on social media.
Joe Biden is being ruthlessly mocked for continuing to pose in front of a fake White House window framing a Rose Garden in impossible spring bloom.
The digital recreation of the famous White House scene, staged across the street from the genuine White House, hasn’t updated its software to reflect the reality of a Washington DC in the fall. “Truman Show Presidency,” tweeted Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec, referencing the 1998 Jim Carey classic. “They gave Joe Biden a playschool desk and a fake Oval Office in a fake White House,” he added.
Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin, locked in a margin-of-error race with Democratic former Gov. Terence McAuliffe this fall, told Fox News he is not surprised his opponent admitted President Biden's popularity is collapsing in the Old Dominion. On "The Story", host Martha MacCallum noted Biden won Virginia by more than 10 points, and contrasted that with McAuliffe's admission during a leaked videoconference with Democratic activists that "headwinds from Washington" and "Biden [being] unpopular in Virginia" could hurt his campaign if they do not get out the vote.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki attempted to walk back a statement by presidential climate envoy John Kerry which claimed President Joe Biden "had not been aware of what had transpired" following a submarine deal with Australia that upset the French. "Of course he was aware of the French being upset," Psaki said in response to a question on the matter from Fox News' Peter Doocy. "He of course was aware, the president, of the French being displeased about the deal with the Australians. John Kerry also speaks regularly to the French as part of his role as the climate envoy. He's someone who also served as Secretary of State."
So this is crazy. Monday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the FBI would investigate a "disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers and staff." A disturbing spike? Are we talking about legitimate charges or Trey Gowdy’s hair? In the memo they decry threats of violence. But is it actual terroristic activities, or parents trying to get to the bottom of a lousy education? Which, in the long run, is more of a national threat - than China, Russia and Iran combined.
Idaho Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin on Tuesday issued an executive order banning vaccine mandates and required coronavirus testing in schools and colleges in the state, prompting Gov. Brad Little to say he had not authorized her to act on his behalf while he was at the U.S-Mexico border. Little said he would "rescind" any executive orders McGeachin issues while he is away and she is acting governor, including her attempt this week to send National Guard troops to the border.
"I am in Texas performing my duties as the duly elected Governor of Idaho, and I have not authorized the Lt. Governor to act on my behalf," Little said

Democrat stars, as Biden agenda put on ice 8 replies
In a rare instance in which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was unable to do what she needed to do to win a vote, progressive House Democrats secured a major win last week by blocking the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill the speaker promised would make it through the chamber by Thursday. It was a stunning failure for the speaker who's been known for years for her iron grip on her caucus and her ability to win major votes by the slimmest of margins.
It caused President Biden's two biggest agenda items to come to a screeching halt in Congress.
Progressive Dems smack Biden when he's down
10 replies
President Joe Biden desperately needs a win. He has spent hours trying to jawbone Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., into supporting his $3.5 trillion "social infrastructure" bill. Why hasn’t he hauled progressive lawmakers into the Oval Office as well? Why not sit down with Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., the head of the uber-liberal caucus that has stymied progress on his bipartisan infrastructure bill? Why no late-night calls to Bernie Sanders, the Vermont socialist who is clearly the shadow president and who has resisted calls to trim Biden’s monster spending package?
We know why: there’s no point.

Throughout August, the risk of dying from Covid-19 was 11 times higher for unvaccinated adults than for fully vaccinated adults in the United States, according to new data published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unvaccinated adults faced a six times higher risk of testing positive for Covid-19 throughout the month, and In the last week of August, the risk of being hospitalized was nearly 19 times higher for unvaccinated adults than fully vaccinated adults.
Some states and local jurisdictions have recently started publishing Covid-19 case, death and hospitalization rates by vaccination status on their own dashboards
On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed gas prices aren’t surging “in all parts” of the country. This, like everything else she says, is fake news.
“The American people are -of course- impacted by rising prices of gas, in some parts of the country, not all!” she said.
Fact check: Gas prices are up 41%.
Maybe SHE doesn’t feel the pain because of her high salary and her personal chauffeur, but every day Americans are struggling with the price increase.

Model’ for Taking Two Months Paid Paternity
Leave During Crisis 45 replies
The White House defended Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Friday for taking off two months of paid paternity leave — even as the national supply chain crisis worsened. White House press secretary Jen Psaki called Buttigieg a role model for taking so much time off after he and Chasten got baby twins. “[P]roud to work in an Administration that is fighting to make paid leave a reality for everyone, and with people like Sec. Pete Buttigieg who are role models on the importance of paid leave for new parents,” she wrote. (Tweet)
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) on Friday condemned the process that led to the redistricting of his House seat ahead of the next election, calling it “anything but transparent.” “I have proudly served six terms in the U.S. House and it has been an honor to do so,” Kinzinger said. “Following the release of the new congressional maps for Illinois, my team and I will spend some time looking them over and reviewing all of the options, including those outside the House. This redistricting process has been anything but transparent, which comes as no surprise to anyone. I believe the people
Hundreds of requests for details on the specifics of the container shipping backlog. So, I spent 3 days calling sources, digging for details and gathering information on the substantive issue at hand. (Snip) This has nothing to do with COVID-19.
The issues being discussed today relate to events that happened a long time ago. As a matter of fact, it was so predictable that Amazon, Walmart, UPS, FedEx, Samsung, The Home Depot and Target all had taken actions years ago -long before COVID- because they knew this day would come.
Pete Buttigieg fired back at Tucker Carlson's claim he was 'figuring out how to breast feed' during his paternity leave and insisted he was still available to respond to the supply chain crisis while looking after his twins with husband Chasten.'I guess he [Tucker] just doesn't understand the concept of bottle feeding, let alone the concept of paternity leave', the Transportation Secretary told MSNBC's Deadline White House on Friday night.'But what's really strange is that, you know, this is from a side of the aisle that used to claim the mantle of being pro-family,
GOP Needs Trump to Get Past 2020

Donald Trump had an incredible legacy as president, but sometimes he can be his own worst enemy. More broadly, as the leader of the Republican Party, he’s ensuring that his self-inflicted wounds damage not only his own (presumed) electoral chances but those of other Republicans as well.
Clearly, Trump has yet to get over the fact that he is not the one currently sitting in the White House following the 2020 election. It’s true that millions of Americans wish he were currently the president, enacting policies to make America great. But as they say, if wishes were horses, then

Queen Elizabeth II, the world's longest-reigning living monarch, is a picture of good health even at 95 years of age. One of the reasons the monarch has aged so gracefully is that she follows the advice of her nutritionists and doctors, but she wasn't very happy when she was recently asked to drop her daily cocktail. (Snip) As per various reports, the queen enjoys a gin cocktail in the morning, followed by a glass of wine or champagne with lunch, and another glass of champagne plus a dry martini in the evening. Her late cousin Margaret Rhodes said that the

of Next Year, Despite 24/7 Operating Hours: Officials 37 replies
Despite President Biden’s announcement Wednesday that the severely backlogged Port of Los Angeles would expand into 24/7 operating hours—similar to the Port of Long Beach—port officials are saying the backlog will continue until the summer of 2022.
Noel Hacegaba, deputy executive director of the Port of Long Beach, said expanding the ports’ operating hours will not impact the supply chain disruptions given the continued shortage of truck drivers, chassis equipment, and warehouse operations and space.
“We think it’ll be summer of 2022 before we clear all 60 ships,” Hacegaba told The Epoch Times Oct. 14. “Of course, if we take some measures now, and everyone in the supply chain starts expanding
Former President Bill Clinton was hospitalized in California this week after a urinary tract infection spread to his bloodstream, according to his doctors.The 42nd commander-in-chief was taken to University of California Irvine Medical Center on Tuesday for “close monitoring” and given IV antibiotics and fluids, according to a joint statement from Dr. Alpesh Amin and Dr. Lisa Bardack.The 75-year-old ex-president had been in California for an event for his foundation when he started feeling unwell and fatigued that day, his doctors and staff told CNN medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta.He went to the hospital for testing, which ruled out COVID-19 as well as heart-related problems that have troubled him since
Woke Walmart has trained more than 1,000 employees in critical race theory, denouncing the US as a “white-supremacy system”—and telling staffers to accept their “guilt and shame” and stop thinking “white is right,” according to leaked documents. The retail giant confirmed to City Journal that it has been working with the Racial Equity Institute, a North Carolina company devoted to “creating racially equitable organizations.” Walmart said it has “engaged REI for a number of training sessions since 2018” and has “found these sessions to be thought-provoking and constructive.” City Journal’s Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said a whistleblower gave him a cache

Thing’ Because It Means ‘More People

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that rising prices were a “good thing” because it meant more people were buying goods.Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Inflation is skyrocketing as I don’t need to tell you. The prices for home heating costs, cars, groceries, furniture, rent, gasoline are hitting Americans right in the wallet. The White House response has been generally to say, ‘Hey, inflation shows we’re coming out of the recession. It’s a good sign.'”He continued, “President Biden’s chief of staff Ron Klain enthusiastically retreated an economist who said in part ‘Most of the economic problems, inflation, supply chains, et cetera, are high-class problems.’
