Night Long
Posted By: LoveYourCountry, 11/19/2021 9:20:01 AM
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) yielded the floor on Friday morning at 5:11 a.m. after speaking for a record eight hours and forty-two minutes against the Democrats’ multi-trillion-dollar “Build Back Better” social spending bill. “My one minute is almost up,” McCarthy joked at 5:04 a.m., referring to the fact that members of the House were originally given only 60 seconds to state their views on the bill before a vote that was meant to have taken place on Thursday evening.

His Job Back 6 replies
Lieutenant William Kelly wants his job back after the Norfolk Police Department fired him following a $25 anonymous donation made to Kyle Rittenhouse’s legal defense fund in April 2021.
Rittenhouse’s two-week trial for the shooting of three men during the 2020 Kenosha riots concluded on Friday with a not guilty jury verdict. Kelly, a 42-year-old, 19-year police veteran and father of three, was ten months away from his pension vesting when the Norfolk Police Department fired him.

We recently looked at a report showing that the new infrastructure bill is a prime target for fraud, with analysts predicting that as much as 15% of the money being made available will be illicitly taken. The bill contains very few provisions to prevent that from happening. Today’s story out of California should serve as a reminder that the last rounds of COVID relief were similarly targeted by thieves and the problem is still ongoing.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) spoke out Sunday against an FBI raid on the home of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe more than a week before, calling it a threat to press freedom and the First Amendment to the Constitution.
As Breitbart News reported Nov. 7: “The FBI raided James O’Keefe’s home in New York on Saturday, apparently looking for clues in the alleged theft of a diary belonging to Ashley Biden, the daughter of President Joe Biden.” Project Veritas claimed that it had obtained the diary legally in 2020,
Could it really be possible? Is disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo seriously considering mounting a political “comeback” and trying to take back his old job as Attorney General? There’s plenty of reason to doubt this story (as we’ll get to in a moment), but multiple outlets began reporting it yesterday, so let’s at least take a look. The story first broke in the New York Post and was later followed up at Mediaite. Other local outlets in the Empire State quickly began putting in calls requesting comment.
Is it possible that the same event can give you hope, and dash all hope, all at the same time?
Indeed it is. Glenn Youngkin’s win in Virginia last Tuesday is just such an event. Just days before Youngkin’s victory, in my article “Democrats Are Imploding; All Is Well, Right?” I said that in fact all is very much NOT well. I ensured you that Youngkin was going to win, but noted that the Democrats do one thing very well – they don’t ever quit:
I said the Democrats, and those who identify with them, are stupid. I didn’t say they were just going to quit.
Joe Biden Finally Admits Inflation Is

‘Worrisome,’ Three Months After Dismissing
It as ‘Temporary’ 7 replies
President Joe Biden conceded Wednesday that inflation was a problem, three months after dismissing it as temporary.
“Everything from a gallon of gas to loaf of bread costs more,” Biden said during an event promoting his infrastructure bill in Baltimore. “And it’s worrisome, even though wages are going up.” The president took a sharply different tone from his comments in July, when he dismissed rising costs and inflation as temporary and nothing to worry about.
“Some folks have raised worries that this could be a sign of persistent inflation. But that’s not our view,” he said at the White House on July 19.
Republicans are leading RealClearPolitics’ [RCP] general ballot for the first time since 2014, according to the analysis website, which averages notable political polls in an effort to forecast election outcomes.
RCP has Republicans up by half a percentage point on its generic congressional vote, showing 43.3 percent support for Republicans and 42.8 percent support for Democrats and potentially foreshadowing a red wave in 2022. Democrats notably maintained the lead in 2020, 2018, and 2016, though RCP showed Republicans ahead by 2.4 percentage points in 2014, halfway through former President Barack Obama’s second term.
Climate activists demanded an end to capitalism, “black liberation”, and the abolition of police at a demonstration outside the United Nations COP26 summit in Glasgow, Scotland.
Gathering in George Square in central Glasgow on Saturday, an array of climate activists, including those from indigenous communities in South America, Asia, and Africa, came together to denounce Western imperialism and the alleged racism inherent in climate change.
Edinburgh University medical student and climate activist Mikaela Loach said that the UK government’s decision to go forward with oil exploration projects was “worse than hypocrisy”, saying that “it is violence”.
My election-night prediction on how lefties would spin the results: “Unless McAuliffe wins easily, which he won’t, they’ll claim that his defeat or narrow victory is evidence that lefty voters are demoralized and will remain so until congressional Dems go big on spending.”
Watch this clip and bear in mind that she’s talking about a cycle in which (a) the socialist who won the Democratic primary for mayor in Buffalo lost the general election to a write-in candidate; (b) the hyper-powerful Democratic president of New Jersey’s state senate lost to a Republican truck driver who spent $153 on his campaign;
Congressional Democrats are refusing to accept blame for President Joe Biden’s stalled agenda while Democrat candidate Terry McAuliffe’s campaign has stumbled to the finish line ahead of Tuesday’s election.
Democrats are worried McAuliffe may lose Virginia’s gubernatorial race in a state Biden won by ten points in 2020. The possible negative results for Democrats has the far-left and more temperate members of the party resorting to slippery rhetoric to dodge being seen as “obstructionists.”
In the recent Townhall sponsored by CNN, Joe Biden was asked about Policemen and other First Responders who are not vaccinated. Should they be mandated to get the vaccine and if they refuse should they be told to remain at home or be let go?
Biden responds: “Yes and yes. (applause) … Look, the two things that concern me: one are (sic) those who just try to make this a political issue. Freedom. I have the freedom to kill you with my Covid. (applause) No, I mean c’mon.” Then, with a dismissive sneer, “Freedom.”
Love his criticism of those making this a political issue.

Were Black ‘Laws Might Have Treated
Him a Little Differently’ 64 replies
Fox News analyst Juan Williams said on Friday on “Special Report” that if Kyle Rittenhouse were a black teen, he would have been treated differently.Discussing Rittenhouse’s not guilty verdict, Williams said, “Well, I think one of the realities is that the jury made a decision. And I think a considered decision after lengthy three days, obviously, looking at the facts of the case and looking at the law. I think that’s where we have to go. I think there are lots of people who are concerned that someone crossing into another state with a weapon, you know, really a vicious weapon, is now under the law allowed to engage in

‘Validates the Terrorist Acts of a White Supremacist’ 46 replies
After a Wisconsin jury declared that accused shooter Kyle Rittenhouse was “not guilty” on all counts, former NFL player Colin Kaepernick called the teenager a “white supremacist” benefiting from a system that Kaep wants to “abolish.”Rittenhouse, the teenager who shot several assailants who attacked him during a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020, was declared innocent in a Friday afternoon reading of his verdict. Still, the determination did not sit well with the hard-left, anti-American protester and former second-string NFL quarterback.Just after the verdict, Kaepernick went on a tear, tweeting, “We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist.”
Last week, Dr. Anthony Fauci made perhaps the most damning confession in the Covid vaccine saga. So far-reaching are the implications of his statement that the interview in which he made it may well prove a turning point in the fight against the vaccine fraud that is being perpetrated on the peoples of the world.
In a November 12 podcast session with the New York Times, Fauci was forced to admit the fact that the vaccines do not reliably protect their recipients from serious Covid or death. (snip) Fauci’s words amount to the admission that the vaccinated are getting infected and more and more of them are ending up in hospital
On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” host Joy Reid reacted to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict by stating that America “was built on the idea that white men had a particular kind of freedom and a particular kind of citizenship that only they have, that gives, from the slave catchers on, the right to inflict violence in the name of protecting property. That’s like the foundational creation of the United States.” And so, a conviction of Rittenhouse would have been a shock.Reid said, “I was not at all surprised. We’ve talked about this. I mean, this is what we expected to happen.
The White House issued a statement on Saturday recognizing a day of remembrance for the transgender community, citing those who were killed in acts of violence. President Biden called on state and local leaders to follow suit of his administration to advance policies that aid and protect LGBTQ people. “Transgender people are some of the bravest Americans I know. But no person should have to be brave just to live in safety and dignity. Today, we remember. Tomorrow—and every day—we must continue to act,” Mr. Biden said in a statement. The president also condemned various bills across GOP-led state legislatures that are aimed at curbing transgender policies.
The White House on Friday released a copy of results from President Biden's first physical exam, which claims he is fit to lead the nation and highlights observations including his "stiffened" walking pattern.Biden, who turns 79 on Saturday, was evaluated for his first physical since taking office by White House physician Kevin O'Connor. According to O'Connor's examination, Biden "remains a healthy, vigorous, 78-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency."While O'Connor did not report any vital health concerns regarding the president, the results of his exam

Detailing ‘Pronounced’ Coughing and
‘Stiffer’ Walk 32 replies
President Joe Biden’s doctor released the details of his physical examination on Friday afternoon, citing concerns about his increasing coughing and stiffer walk.
Biden’s doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, has been his doctor for 13 years and was appointed by the president after his taking office in January 2021.
O’Connor noted that Biden had experienced “increasing frequency and severity of ‘throat clearing’ and coughing during speaking engagements” but attributed it to his ongoing struggle with “gastroesophageal reflux.”
“My original assessment that gastroesophageal reflux is the source of the President’s throat clearing and coughing is supported by the findings and by expert consultation,” he wrote.
A gang of 14 thieves stole about $120,00 worth of merchandise in broad daylight from a Chicago-area Louis Vuitton store as the Windy City's rampant crime spreads to its posh suburbs, police said.
Shocking video shows the gang entering the store at the Oak Brook Center one at a time on Thursday after an armed guard went on a short break. Once they were all inside, the thieves pulled out trash bags from their coats and jumped to every corner of the store, stuffing their bags full of designer products. Some of the thieves took everything they could carry by hand, and in seconds, they all ran out
For many, it was a brave and long-overdue airing of an important and distressing subject: a painstaking investigation into claims that predatory trans women have been pressuring lesbians for sex, published on the BBC News website. But a leaked email shows that the influential trans lobby group Stonewall attempted to suppress the investigation before it had even been published–and made the extraordinary claim that debating the issues was equivalent to ‘sexual racism’. This latest move to try to stifle free speech will add to growing concerns about the influence of Stonewall, which is paid millions of pounds for advising public bodies–including Government departments, police forces and universities

With Democrats already facing the nightmare scenario of losing control of Congress in next year’s critical midterm elections, leftists could be in for a collective traumatic shock unseen since the iconoclastic billionaire outsider Donald J. Trump pulled off the upset of the century against the “undefeatable” Hillary Clinton in 2016.Traditionally, the party in control of the White House loses seats in the midterms but intensifying dissatisfaction with the miserable presidency of Joe Biden that has brought staggering inflation, unprecedented shortages and a flagrant disregard for the Constitution has some predicting much more severe losses for power-drunk Democrats who may be forced onto the wagon by angry voters.

Longtime U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Dallas, announced Saturday she is not running for reelection after serving nearly three decades in Congress. “I have gone back and forth … the whole time because of the pleading and the asking, but as of January … the year after next, I will step down,” Johnson said during an event in Dallas. "I will retire, and let me assure that I will also recommend to you whom I feel is the best to follow me." Johnson added she is looking for a "female that is qualified."

Here's the difference. When McCarthy spoke for almost nine hours, it felt like nine hours. When Pelosi spoke for eight hours, it felt like eight years.
