McConnell Flattens the Dems: They're Heading
for a 'Pretty Good Beating' in Midterms
Posted By: Dreadnought, 4/10/2022 11:25:30 PM
We’ve been talking about a likely red wave coming in the midterms, and now Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is not holding back on what he thinks is going to happen in November. On this week’s “Fox News Sunday,” McConnell said that he thought Republicans were going to take back both the House and the Senate because of how horrible Joe Biden has been on things like the economy and Afghanistan. “[Biden’s] policies have not worked, beginning with the precipitous and ill-advised withdrawal from Afghanistan, which became kind of a metaphor for the incompetence

The employees of the Twitter social media platform are taking a Monday siesta following the tumultuous upheaval brought on by the introduction of Tesla’s Elon Musk as a shareholder. The previous plan was for the company to host a town hall between Musk and staff, to ensure everyone was on the same page about the business agenda going forward. But that has changed now that Musk isn’t going to be on Twitter’s board of directors. "Employees have a previously-scheduled day of rest today, which is well-timed, as the vibe is super stressed, they tell us," said Sarah Frier of Bloomberg. The vibe described within Frier’s article on the matter

Question if Joe Biden Is Compromised by Chinese 4 replies
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” that he had “enough evidence” to warrant an investigation into if President Joe Biden is compromised by his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China.
Watters said, “Do you have evidence, senator, that would lead to you believe that Joe is potentially compromised by the Chinese?” Grassley said, “I only have enough evidence that that’s a legitimate question. I do not have evidence that goes as far as you would like to have me say it goes. If I could say it, I would say it.” He continued, “What we do know is that Hunter Biden
Philadelphians will have to wear masks inside public spaces again as the pandemic resurfaces in the city, where COVID-19 infections have spiked in recent weeks, city officials said Monday.
"Starting today, we're asking businesses to dig up those 'masks required' signs and start hanging them in your windows," Cheryl Bettigole, the city's health commissioner, said in a a news conference Monday afternoon. "Beginning Monday, April 18, our health inspectors will begin enforcing the mask mandate again," she added, noting that the city is allowing a week's grace period to get the word out.
"We're putting this into place on the early side.
Tesla/SpaceX CEO and majority stockholder of Twitter, Elon Musk, might be out for more than just ownership of Twitter. According to one businessman, Musk’s goal might be to free corporations from an oppressive leftist movement currently infecting many businesses.
According to the Daily Wire, Vivek Ramaswamy sat down with John Bickley and Georgia Howe on the “Morning Wire” podcast where he revealed that Musk’s recent denial of a board seat on Twitter is likely Musk attempting to own over 15 percent of the company, or in other words, a “hostile takeover” over the social media brand overall.
It was then that Ramaswamy pointed out that Musk has expressed, very openly
The mayor of Mariupol, Ukraine, said Monday that more than 10,000 civilians have died during the Russian siege and subsequent occupation of the city.
Mayor Vadym Boychenko warned that the final civilian death toll could exceed 20,000 in a phone call with the Associated Press, and said that corpses were “carpeted through the streets.” Boychenko also claimed Russian forces had brought mobile crematoriums to the city.
“Mobile crematoriums have arrived in the form of trucks: You open it, and there is a pipe inside and these bodies are burned,” Boychenko said.
Meanwhile, about 120,000 civilians remain in the city and are in need of food and water,
Axios has a scoop on the new inflation number that’s scheduled to drop tomorrow and it’s bad.
They’re citing analysts from FactSet that expect the new number to be 8.4 percent, the highest inflation rate since December 1981. That’s up from the rate from last month, which was 7.9 percent.
Some of that will be reflecting the high gas prices that have since moderated somewhat. However, even without counting gas and food, the forecast is 6.6 percent, the highest since August 1982.
So while the Biden team ordered the release of a million barrels of oil a day for 180 days from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and it might have a tiny effect
Tesla CEO Elon Musk declined a seat on Twitter’s board of directors after becoming the platform’s largest shareholder with a massive 9.2 percent stake. But this move could end up signifying an even greater play by Musk to seize control of the platform, according to CNBC. Leftist Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal tweeted late April 10 that the world’s richest man “decided not to join our board.” Agrawal seemed to admit the quiet part out loud when he said that having Musk “as a fiduciary of the company where he, like all board members, has to act in the best interests of the company and all our shareholders, was the best path forward.”
Tesla CEO Elon Musk declined to join Twitter's board of directors, the social media company's chief executive announced Sunday.
"Elon has decided not to join our board," Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal tweeted. "I sent a brief note to the company, sharing with you all here."
Musk, a critic who recently accused Twitter of stifling free speech, recently purchased a 9.2% stake in Twitter, having bought 73.5 million shares for roughly $2.9 billion. "The Board and I had many discussions about Elon joining the board, and with Elon directly," Agrawal wrote in the note to employees. "We were excited to collaborate and clear about the risks.

There’s something incredibly sad about a politician who is otherwise irrelevant, at least to the American public, but just can’t let go.
Hillary Clinton is a 74-year-old grandmother who lost a presidential election, not during the last cycle, but well over five years ago. Yet, instead of just enjoying her grandkids and the hundreds of millions of dollars she’s made grifting off her time in government, she continues to shoehorn her way into the public eye.
On Saturday, Clinton appeared at a political conference in Inglewood, CA. The specifics aren’t really important, as all these things are a dime a dozen,

Often I wonder why I stay on Twitter. Though I like the fast-breaking news tips, the toxic stupidity, particularly among the “verified account” set, makes you wonder if the noise-to-signal ratio is high enough to bother logging in. But, then, every once in a while, there is a classic self-own that has to be seen to be believed.
If you followed the Antifa riots and insurrections over the past few years, but particularly during the summer of 2020, you know who Andy Ngo is. Andy is inarguably the most courageous voice in journalism today if the measure of courage is still putting oneself in physical danger
The Walt Disney Company is one of the most powerful corporations in Florida. Gov. Ron DeSantis is a rising political star in the political party that dominates the state. Despite that self-evident truth, Disney unwisely — perhaps stupidly — challenged the governor to fight back when it came out against the Parental Rights in Education bill, which opponents have deliberately misnamed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
According to this article in The Grid, Disney exercised its considerable power and influence under the radar and behind the scenes — until now.

The majority of voters are blaming increased prices at the pump on Russian President Vladimir Putin and oil companies more than energy policies from President Biden and Democrats, according to a new poll. An ABC News/Ipsos survey released over the weekend showed that 71% of voters placed a great deal or good amount of blame on Mr. Putin for his invasion of Ukraine and 68% said the same for oil companies. The majority of respondents still placed some degree of blame on Mr. Biden (51%) and Democratic policies (52%). Although most voters still blamed the president and his party, the vast frustration among Americans toward Mr. Putin and energy companies
Canceling Beethoven: Who's Relevant to Whom?

“Joy, immortal incandescence
Daughter of Elysium!
Breathing fire from your presence
To your temple ground we come.”
This is the invocation of joy that begins Friedrich Schiller’s great Ode, whose first three stanzas were set by Beethoven in the final movement of his 9th Symphony. Baltimore Symphony conductor Marin Alsop has replaced them with doggerel from a local rapper. She explained to Baltimore magazine:
You know, the [Friedrich] Schiller poetry is phenomenal, but it’s not relevant for us today. (Snip) Alsop also inserted African drumming and a jazz ensemble between movements of Beethoven’s symphony.
This is idiotic in more ways
I Really Do Hate These Leftists

I really can’t stand it anymore. I used to be able to ignore it, even laugh at how stupid it was, but I just can’t anymore. What leftist Democrats are doing to this country on the issues of race and gender are so disgusting that, honestly, I hate them. I don’t hate them in a “there’s an annoying rock in my shoe” kind of way, I despise them. I hate them in an “I wouldn’t spit on them if they were on fire” kind of way. This is, of course, what they want – they need those of us sane enough to see clearly what they’re doing to hate them,
Juneteenth is now a paid city holiday in New York City.New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced the decision on Monday, noting that it is "long overdue" and will take effect "immediately" this year on June 19. “Juneteenth is a time for reflection, assessment, and self-improvement," Adams said in a statement. "People across the country of all races, nationalities, and religions unite on this day to truthfully acknowledge the stain of slavery and celebrate the countless contributions of Black Americans. It’s time for our city to finally do what’s right and officially designate Juneteenth as a city holiday."
Interim Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz reportedly lashed out at a coffee chain barista who was leading a unionization drive at one of the company’s California locations, telling the worker: “If you hate Starbucks so much, why don’t you go somewhere else?” The alleged encounter between Schultz and the 25-year-old barista, Madison Hall, took place at Long Beach Airport on Friday, Hall has claimed. Schultz, 68, has embarked on a tour of Starbucks locations nationwide in an apparent bid to dissuade his employees from voting to join unions, according to the pro-union news site More Perfect Union.

A Washington Post column called for gender, including male and female labels, to be removed from U.S. passports in an effort to advance inclusion for transgender travelers. (snip) "If the State Department really wanted to take a step forward, there’s an easier, cheaper and more powerful option: remove gender from passports altogether," Jones said.
The news out of California is increasingly more dystopian with each day’s passing. The state that was once known for its own brand of the American Dream has now become associated with unchecked crime and violence, a chronic homelessness issue, drug addiction and filthy cities.

A University of Buffalo student said she was 'hunted down' by a woke mob screaming 'no justice, no peace,' after she invited prominent black Republican Lt. Col. Allen West to speak on how he overcame racism. Therese Purcell, president of the Young Americans for Freedom, a campus club that organized the event, said she and her fellow members only wanted to bring these open dialogues of racism to campus.(Snip)Purcell barely escaped the mob as she was pulled into the bathroom by a friend, where they called 911. But Purcell added that even inside the bathroom, she heard the mob yelling that the need to 'find her.'
The Second Amendment could not be more clear: The right to bear arms shall not be infringed.
The sagacious and well-read Founders, unlike today’s contemporary political morons, were astutely aware of the evil lurking within mankind and the tyrannical impulses to assert one’s domain over others. Limited government – limiting government ability to assert itself – was of utmost importance in keeping people free and human nature in check.
One would think that a former president of the United States would be a staunch defender of the First Amendment. When it comes to Barack Obama, however, you’d think wrong. Obama spoke Wednesday at an event sponsored by The Atlantic and the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics, “Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy.” In the course of a long and rambling discussion with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, Obama called for government control over the Internet in order to stem the “demand for crazy” that was spreading what he called “disinformation.”
The Disney corporate dynasty has been a bedrock part of Americana since the 1930s, a family-friendly icon without peer. But its recent stance on parents’ rights to decide what their kids should be taught in school about sexuality endangers that, a new I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
As part of our April I&I/TIPP poll, we asked 1,305 adults across America the following question: “How closely are you following the recent story about the opposition of some Disney employees to the new Florida law forbidding classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade?”
