Cancel culture runs Beto O'Rourke out
of one Texas community
Posted By: Garnet, 4/27/2022 2:27:23 PM
Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke is having a tough time on the road as he campaigns across the state. He’s finding out that he isn’t a rock star anymore and opponents are ready to let him know. O’Rourke’s campaign tried several venues in Comal County last weekend only to find that the Democrat challenging Republican Governor Greg Abbott was not welcome in any of them.Comal County is south of Interstate 35 between San Antonio and Austin. Normally, it would be expected that Democrat candidates would not be warmly welcomed, as it is one of the most Republican areas of the state. O’Rourke is campaigning across

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch — and don’t count your congressional districts before all the redistricting lawsuits are finished.
On Wednesday, the New York Court of Appeals ruled that the congressional map New York Democrats enacted back in February was a partisan gerrymander that violated the state constitution and tossed it to the curb. The decision was a huge blow to Democrats, who until recently looked like they had gained enough seats nationally in redistricting to almost eliminate the Republican bias in the House of Representatives. But with the invalidation of New York’s map, as well as Florida’s recent passage of a congressional map that heavily favors the GOP
It’s a good question. I had the same one when I heard someone on television mention she was taking it. We were told she tested positive for COVID-19 but she is asymptomatic. If she has no symptoms, why is she taking Pfizer’s wonder drug?
The simple answer is because she’s the vice-president. If she was Kamala Harris, the office assistant from down the street, she very likely wouldn’t have access to the drug, Paxlovid. The Covid-19 antiviral pill, according to the Politico piece, is reserved for patients “at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19,” according to the Food and Drug Administration’s emergency use authorization standards.”
Is Kamala a high risk patient?
As the old saying goes, the chickens are finally coming home to roost. The revelation that a close business associate of Hunter Biden’s was granted access to the Obama-Biden White House on nearly 20 occasions is the just latest shoe to drop in a Pulitzer Prize-worthy story of power and corruption that’s becoming known simply as "Biden, Inc."
This new disclosure is part of the shady operation that the mainstream media ignored for years to cover for Joe Biden -- is now picking up steam at the worst possible time for the president.
It’s a textbook case of the Washington swamp at its worst and how the politically

Woke corporate America is finally getting some push-back. It’s about time.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) has punished the Walt Disney Company for interfering in his state’s politics, signing a bill that strips the Mouse House of special tax status in Florida. The issue? Disney defaming DeSantis’s much maligned “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which, ironically, says nothing of the kind.
The consequences are severe: Disney will no longer have jurisdiction over the development and management of an area encompassing tens of thousands of acres that has been under their total control since 1968. The carve out of, especially, the Reedy Creek Improvement District, meant
Investigators in Georgia ballot harvesting
probe zero in on funding, eyewitness whistleblower 3 replies
probe zero in on funding, eyewitness whistleblower 3 replies
The four subpoenas obtained Monday by Just the News through an open records request show the State Elections Board and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger want the identity of any suspected participants in ballot harvesting, including a whistleblower identified only as John Doe who an election watchdog claims admitted to gathering ballots for cash.
The document demands were delivered late last week to the election integrity watchdog True the Vote,
Some of my fellow Never Trumpers have been keen lately to push back on the claim that Trump is losing his grip on the GOP.
For good reason. If he has lost some of his grip, he ain’t lost much:(Snip for video) When even the candidates you *haven’t* endorsed try to position themselves as the true heir to your political legacy, that’s a pretty tight grip you’ve got.
But if David Perdue goes down in flames in Georgia, it’ll be strong circumstantial evidence that Trump’s grip has slackened a bit. Particularly because he’s invested more political capital in ousting Brian Kemp
Despite widespread concern about his cognitive health, President Biden won’t be removed from office pursuant to the 25th Amendment. It would require an unlikely display of integrity from his Vice President and Cabinet, plus an implausible level of bipartisanship in Congress. Moreover, the claims of politicians and pundits aside, the involuntary ouster of an unfit president isn’t the purpose of the amendment. Its principal function is to guarantee that the executive branch of the government is at all times led by an official who is conscious and able to communicate. Thus, the first 3 of its 4 sections focus on
Harry Reid spent decades perfecting his brand of machine politics that powered Democratic control across Nevada.
Now, four months after the death of Reid, the venerated political titan who represented Nevada in Congress for 34 years, Democrats here find themselves relying on his legacy once again.
In an already volatile environment nationally for their party, in which they’re contending with issues like rising inflation, soaring gas prices and dismal White House approval, they’re tasked with locking down Catherine Cortez Masto’s Senate seat, and the outcome could dictate control of the Senate. They’re also defending Steve Sisolak’s governorship, which had taken Democrats 20 years to claim from Republicans.
America’s supposed racial divide has a class element that we are all supposed to ignore. But for the past two years, I couldn’t ignore the number of media outlets and supposed intellectuals who have discarded the legitimate concerns of the middle class because they, the elite, supposedly know what’s best for us and our children.
The anti-racism movement has come to Main Street, and no one asked for its arrival.
The average American isn’t very ideological because that is a luxury most Americans can’t afford when they’re trying to make ends meet and support their families, unlike the economic and intellectual elite.
Why boot Marvin Richardson now? The longtime acting ATF director, who spent his entire career at the agency, got demoted this week and replaced temporarily by a US Attorney, Stephen Gutowski reported for The Reload:Acting Director Marvin Richardson is being demoted, and US Attorney Gary Restaino will take over his position, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the move. The reshuffling was announced by Richardson on a conference call Monday, which left many ATF officials surprised and dismayed. The ATF is expected to announce the move in the coming days.
“The news that he was being replaced came as a shock to most of us within the agency,”
How bad will the 2022 election be for the Democrats? In all likelihood, quite bad. Biden’s approval rating is bad, his rating is worse on the most important issue, the economy, and it is truly terrible on high profile, contentious issues like crime and immigration. Democrats are behind on the generic Congressional ballot, despite the tendency of this measure to overestimate Democratic strength. The results of special and off-cycle elections indicate a very pro-GOP electoral environment. And midterm elections are typically bad for the incumbent party anyway.
So there are not a lot of good signs here. In fact, hardly any.

Maxine Waters Tests Positive for Coronavirus

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is the latest lawmaker to test positive for coronavirus. Waters announced her test results in a Wednesday statement, saying that she is not experiencing any symptoms. The California Democrat said she is now in insolation. “Today, I have received a positive test result for COVID. I am currently isolating and have no symptoms,” she said. “I am following all protocols as recommended by the Office of the Attending Physician and CDC guidance. I am grateful to be fully vaccinated and to have received two booster shots. Thankfully, I am feeling fine and recommend everyone to get vaccinated if you have not done so already.”
President Joe Biden has reignited the fire among already outraged parents after claiming their children don't belong to them 'when they’re in the classroom.''They’re all our children,' he said Wednesday, addressing educators at the 2022 Teacher of the Year ceremony hosted by the White House. 'They are not somebody's else children. They're like yours when they're in the classroom.'Biden also took aim at parents and Republican legislators who have spearheaded efforts to ban books and bar sexually explicit or overly politically correct curriculum. 'Today, there are too many politicians trying to score political points banning books, even math books,' the president said.
Following Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter last week, which was a triumphant victory in the ongoing war over free speech, the Biden Regime announced the creation of a “Disinformation Governance Board” that will be tasked with silencing anything deemed to be misinformation that’s related to homeland security. And, yes. It’s just as dystopian and creepy as it sounds.The new board will operate under the authority of the Department of Homeland security with a special focus on Russia and “irregular migration,” according to the Post Millennial.
Joe Biden is considering reneging on a campaign promise to cancel limited amounts of student debt, and is now mulling far more substantial coverage of the $1.6trillion in debt owed by 43,000 people. Biden alluded to his plan during a meeting on Monday with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, where he told Rep. Tony Cardenas, a California Democrat, that he had plans that would please the group.The president previously supported canceling up to $10,000 of debt per student, but is now said to be open to forgiving a larger - if unspecified amount.It also remains unclear exactly how many students could be affected,
President Joe Biden is banning traditional incandescent lightbulbs in a push to be more energy efficient, but critics claim the switch to LED alternatives will prove costly for poorer Americans.
The Department of Energy (DOE) adopted two new rules Tuesday that strengthen energy efficiency standards for lightbulbs and will effectively phase out the sale of traditional bulbs by next year.
However, consumer analysts allege that not only are LED bulbs more expensive, costing nearly $4 each as opposed to $1 for an incandescent bulb, but are often not stocked in stores in lower-income communities. Around 30 percent of the two billion bulbs sold in the US every year are incandescent.
Hillary Clinton on Wednesday took a swipe at Donald Trump and went on a woke, feminist rant at Madeleine Albright’s funeral.Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright died last month at the age of 84. Albright served in the Clinton Administration as the first female Secretary of State from 1997 to 2001. Hillary Clinton injected toxic politics in a eulogy at Washington National Cathedral.Clinton attacked Trump and warned ‘Fascism’ could take over the US if we don’t defend against “dictators and demagogues from the battlefields of Ukraine to the halls of our own Capitol.”WATCH:
President Joe Biden said Wednesday he continues to suffer from his childhood stutter, telling an audience he has not fully conquered it.“I didn’t really beat my stutter — still occasionally I do,” he said, recalling the struggle he experienced as a child.The president spoke about stuttering during an event at the White House celebrating the Teachers of the Year.“I stuttered badly, and when you stutter, everyone thinks you have to be stupid or totally incompetent,” he said.Biden frequently talks about his childhood stutter, usually among students and teachers when he is talking about the importance of learning.
Joe Biden is in trouble. His Democrats are collapsing at the polls based on his disastrous first term and now midterms are around the corner.
What's a failed president to do? Dole out the goodies, of course, some big ones in a desperate bid to win back younger leftist voters.
According to CBS News:
President Biden is looking at different options to forgive an unspecified but substantial amount of federal student loan debt — a move that would thrill some of his most loyal supporters and financially strapped students nationwide, but is a departure from campaign pledges to provide limited relief.
The president shared his plans during a 90-minute White House meeting Monday
House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy received a standing ovation from House Republicans during a meeting on Wednesday after he addressed leaked audio from a phone call he made days after the January 6 Capitol riot.
“Standing ovation and Kevin will be speaker,” Representative Nancy Mace (R., S.C.) told reporters after the meeting on Wednesday, according to Fox News.
Representative Jay Obernolte (R., Calif.) confirmed to Fox News that the members gave McCarthy a standing ovation.
The New York Times recently published audio from a January 10, 2021 meeting of Republican leadership in which McCarthy expressed concern
In a sign that even liberals are no longer buying what she’s selling, MSNBC bomb-thrower Joy Reid’s ratings are cratering, falling to their lowest level since her show debuted in 2020, yet another very bad omen for Democrats who are set to reap the whirlwind for the seeds of racial discord that they have spent years sowing.Despite April being a heavy news month, especially with the contentious Senate confirmation hearings of newly minted Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, a veritable bonanza for race-obsessed MSNBC pundits, “The ReidOut” struggled to attract viewers, putting up an average of a measly 1.1 million viewers in an indication that “the race lady”
President Joe Biden on Thursday asked Congress for an additional $33 billion in military and humanitarian assistance for the Ukraine, which officials say could fund the war there for the next five months. He said the previous money allocated for the Ukrainians has been spent. 'Basically we're out of money,' he said in remarks at the White House. The money includes $20.4 billion in additional security and military assistance, $8.5 billion in economic assistance, and $3 billion in humanitarian assistance.(Snip)The $33 billion request is more than double the $13 billion that Biden asked for last month and lawmakers approved. The Biden administration has sent more than $2.4 billion
According to a report in the Daily Star, a UK tabloid, some scientists are now predicting that the world will run out of food in 27 years. 27 years and 251 days, to be more precise…as of Sunday, April 24th, 2022. (Start your doomsday countdown at home!)
So, that’s it, the science is settled, apparently. We are done by 2050.
But, what if, say, 26 years from now half of us go on strict diets and limit our caloric intake…or 60% of us are by then vegan…or 10% of the projected population has been killed off by Lyme Disease/Islamic radicals/leftist economic policies?
