According to recent polling by the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, nearly half of President Joe Biden’s supporters believe the government should clamp down on objectionable speech. That’s right, among individuals intending to vote for Biden in 2024, 47% think “the government should regulate or restrict the expression of views considered discriminatory or offensive.” Considered “discriminatory or offensive” by whom, exactly? Sadly, the results weren’t a whole lot different for supporters of Donald Trump, 35% of whom purport to believe the government should exercise this control. Fools, all. Come to think of it, I find the poll and this report offensive, so I want government to regulate them.

Well of course they do. Objectionable speech means not accepting and praising their defects, bad habits, various forms of mental illness, depravity, greed and laziness.

Liberals wan to silence anyone who disagrees. I would think there would be a higher percentage. But anyway, since there are only about 100 people who voted for him. it is of no consequence.

When leftists put their hands over their ears, while muttering, "La la la la, I can't hear you!," while TRUTH is being spoken, the natural result is for the same people to want, yea, demand for TRUTH speech to be regulated, or eliminated entirely. Democrats swallow their "Delusion Pill" every day, without objection.

Well I suppose you could include the Judge in the Trump trial in DC. It isn't at all surprising to see that Biden voters are against free speech, the 2nd. Amendment , and using oil to grow food and get it delivered by truck. They are "woke" morons, who believe we can control the climate with solar panels and windmills.

It's far worse than that #11. Most actually have no education at all. They can't read, they can't write and they can't do 'rithmetic' ! Critical thinking, analysis, etc is FAR beyond most of them. They have been taught very little of anything practical or useful. Makes one wonder, as I have occasionally, what in the he** HAVE they been doing, 5 to 7 hours a day, 5 days a week for TWELVE YEARS ?? Being indoctrinated maybe ?? I've never been an optimist, more like a realist devolving into a pessimist but unless there is some drastic steps taken and drastic changes made SOON, we're finished. I heard and agreed with something Donald Trump recently said, paraphrased - 2024 is the last chance, America will either start back to again being the greatest nation ever or it will simply, no longer exist !!! Depressing I know, but true,

Remember when leftists were all about free speech? When and why did that change? Maybe the answer is: Free speech was only a means to an end for them. When they got their free speech, made their arguments, and failed to win over the American people, and when in fact the speech from their opponents seemed too successful, they switched to the repression of speech, because the end was never freedom.

Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) The most polarizing politician of the last 40 years is not, as leftists would have us believe, Donald Trump. For my money, it’s none other than His High Holiness the Lightbringer, Barack Obama. Seriously, the dude is irritating. Unfortunately, half the country thinks that he’s the most brilliant man to do brilliant things in the history of brilliance. Anyone who disagrees with that, according to them, is — say it with me — racist. One day, historians may decide that they are tired of embarrassing themselves and critically assess Obama’s legacy as president, which is especially awful when one is discussing foreign policy.

WASHINGTON - New data shows there have been over 800 carjackings in D.C. this year – more than double the total number of carjackings reported in 2022. That means the District is averaging almost three carjackings per day since the top of the year. Now, Metropolitan Police are looking for a group involved in one of the most recent armed carjackings in Southeast. Around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 17, officers were called to the 4200 block of 53rd Street where a man had just been carjacked at gunpoint. Video released by police showed a black Nissan park behind a Jeep Cherokee on 53rd Street. Police say three suspects hopped

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Ever since September 11, 2001, Democrats have insisted that the real problem with Islamic terrorists killing innocent people is that innocent people might take a dim view of Islamic terrorists. How dare we? We’ve had a few discussions in the past couple of weeks about the Democrats’ inability to differentiate good from evil. Several times during the first week after Hamas decided to launch a terror spree by slaughtering a bunch of kids at a music festival, it appeared as if some Democrats might finally be breaking free from the hive mind and its knee-jerk Islamophobia chorus. I suspected that most of them

Before we get to Biden’s latest tone-deaf gaffe that had all the timing and grace of a child’s birthday party clown opening up his act with “The Aristocrats,” let me briefly set the stage for you.

They couldn’t be more wrong. While the war is still in its early days, it is expected that up to one million Palestinians living in Gaza could soon become refugees. Progressive members of Congress and anti-borders groups are already claiming the U.S. has a responsibility to take in some of these refugees, but fail to mention that importing migrants from an area that glorifies and idolizes terrorists could put the national security of the U.S. at grave risk.

The embarrassing impasse in the House of Representatives has finally ended, as Louisiana’s Mike Johnson has been elected Speaker. So, who is Mike Johnson, and why was he finally able to succeed where several more notable House members failed? I suspect that the answer has more to do with desperation than anything else. The Republican Party was made to look ridiculous, not so much by the party’s divisions as by the utter lack of party loyalty and discipline that was revealed by one failed vote after another. Most likely, Republicans coalesced behind Johnson–a little-known commodity, who has never been a committee chairman–to stop the bleeding.

Israel has agreed to delay its impending ground invasion of Gaza until the U.S. can establish air defenses to protect U.S. troops throughout the region. The Pentagon has requested that Israel hold off until they can deploy nearly a dozen air-defense systems to the region, the Wall Street Journal first reported. The missile deployments, which are expected to be completed in the coming days, are intended to shield U.S. troops serving in Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates from enemy rockets and missiles.

At the time, GM and Honda said they expected to begin production of “millions” of these affordable EVs by 2027. “After studying this for a year, we decided that this would be difficult as a business, so at the moment, we are ending development of an affordable EV,”

He also argued that the willingness of these groups to overlook Hamas’ treatment of women, gay people, and transgender people is the “best proof that this is all antisemitism” because “these protestors are willing to give them a pass on these core issues, as long as they also hate Jews and the nation-state of the Jewish people.” Dershowitz stated, “[L]et these students who signed this demonstration

At last, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives successfully elected the 56th Speaker of the House on Wednesday afternoon following multiple rounds of unsuccessful ballots and withdrawn nominations, selecting Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana to lead the lower chamber. The final roll-call vote saw Johnson land 220 votes while Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) received 209. Needing only a simple majority, Johnson easily secured his victory as previous opposition to House Republicans' speaker-designees vanished entirely on the first ballot of Johnson's bid.
