After Being Humiliated in VA, Democrats
Tell the Voters to Kiss-Off
Posted By: Ida Lou Pino, 11/6/2021 12:03:39 PM
Back like 25 years ago, when President * was only 132 years old, The Simpsons was funny, and there was a great scene where Principal Skinner, confronted with the possibility that he screwed up, reassures himself that no, it’s the children who are wrong. In that analogy, the Democrats are Seymour Skinner (or Armin Tamzarian, if you are really into Simpsons deep cuts) and the voters are the kids. Glenn Youngkin greatly disappointed Terry McAuliffe and his North American Man-Boy Lincoln Project (I wish I originated that) pals by winning Virginia, the latter also because Glenn did not live up to his last name.

More than 70 flights transporting migrants from the southern border to Jacksonville have landed in the dark of night in recent months as the Biden administration struggles to empty overflowing border facilities, the office of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said. It is the first time the state of Florida has disclosed the number of confirmed flights arriving in the state since the summer. The governor's office has scrambled in recent weeks to uncover who is facilitating the mystery flights landing in northern Florida daily, but the Biden administration has refused to disclose any information, one official said.
I’m guessing that this topic didn’t make it onto the agenda during Joe Biden’s recent phone call with Xi Jinping. It’s being reported today that the United States military has had a small contingent of troops, both soldiers and Marines, operating in Taiwan for the past year. The troops have reportedly been conducting training for Taiwanese troops in both ground tactics and small boat operations. Needless to say, the Chinese are not thrilled with this news and see it as a breach of longstanding agreements between America and China. To put it mildly, they’re not taking the news well.

The names of more than 500 female athletes were included in an amicus brief filed Monday with the Supreme Court that calls on the nine-member panel to uphold abortion rights. “Women’s increased participation and success in sports has been propelled to remarkable heights by women’s exercise of, and reliance on, constitutional guarantees of liberty and gender equality, including the right to reproductive autonomy,” the filing stated. “Continued access to, and reliance on, those rights will empower the next generation of girls and women to continue to excel in athletics and beyond, strengthening their communities and this nation.
A former FBI special agent who tracked counterterrorism cases warned terrorists in Afghanistan stand a high chance of being able to walk right onto U.S.-bound planes as a result of the Biden administration's dissemination of blank visa papers throughout the country. “The threat of having Islamic State or al Qaeda come into the country is not increased through the southwest border,” said Kenneth Gray, a senior lecturer in the Fire Science and Emergency Management Department at the University of New Haven in Connecticut.
A second election reform bill appears likely in Pennsylvania this year.

Former President Donald Trump says he hasn't heard a peep from special counsel John Durham as he wraps up his yearslong investigation into the origins and conduct of the Russia inquiry.

"I’ve never heard from Durham, never once. I never heard from him," Trump said to Hewitt following inquiries about whether the former president has been contacted for an interview or if he knows anything about the special counsel's progress.

Psaki added that she did not have any particular dates or details about Biden’s plans to travel to, and campaign in, California.

Doug Mastriano (R-Gettysburg) as lead of the chamber's election integrity review. Corman instead shifted the responsibility to Senate Local Government Committee Chairman Cris Dush (R-Wellsboro) after criticizing Mastriano for what he described as chasing headlines and "grandstanding at rallies."

Procter & Gamble (“P&G”) is one of America’s largest corporations, with over 100,000 employees worldwide. It is putting a vaccine mandate into place for its more than 26,000 America-based employees, which will require them to get vaccinated, meet a “company-approved” exemption, or take weekly COVID tests. Those employees opposed to the vaccine mandate are pushing back. To that end, they released a powerful video warning, not P&G, but all Americans, what will happen if these employees lose their jobs.
It’s unlikely that you’ve navigated through life without ever purchasing a product from P&G.

Following a series of contradictory statements around $450,000 taxpayer payoffs to illegals separated at the border, Joe Biden came out in a finger-pointing rage to let a reporter know that these lawbreakers "deserve compensation." According to the RealClearPolitics transcription:
"Let's get it straight. You said everybody coming across the border gets $450,000. The number I was referring to."
"Now here’s the thing," Biden said.

A study about the growing influence of Millennials has revealed a majority of them have a positive opinion about Jesus Christ. However, they apparently don't understand or haven't read what the Bible has to say about sexuality because a whopping 30% of that entire generation now identify as LGBTQ.(Snip)...they are the most populous generation in American society today, comprising more than 70 million adults in the U.S.(Snip)...attributed the unusually high number of Millennials being LGBTQ was due to social and news media coverage that makes it "safe and cool" for young Americans to identify that way--whether or not it represents their actual sexual orientation.
