Democrats Hate Being Forced to Live Under
Their Own Rules
Posted By: DW626, 1/11/2024 9:50:02 PM
The poem by Emma Lazarus on the base of the Statue of Liberty was gospel for the Democratic Party under President Donald Trump. Airhead CNN personality Jim Acosta made a name for himself quoting the “Give us your tired, your poor” lines like they were legally binding and not just part of an old fundraising pitch to the public to raise money to build the statue’s base. These Democrats were outraged any government impediments would be put in place to hinder the endless flow of illegal aliens into the country. Now that they’re getting a big dose of their own medicine, those Democrats are singing a different tune.

Watching the Ice Bowl on TV
4 replies
Mother Nature will be a factor in this weekend’s football games. So I’m reminded of the one they called “The Ice Bowl.”
Our family arrived in the U.S. from Cuba in September 1964. We were relocated to Wisconsin by a church, and I found myself falling in love with the Packers. The Braves moved to Atlanta in 1965, and most of my friends in school were furious with the team. So Lombardi’s Packers were the only local team around. (I did love the 1965 A.L. champion Minnesota Twins because they had four great Cuban players, but that’s for another post.)
On December 31, 1967, the Ice Bowl,
Dr. Anthony Fauci deserves to go to prison

over ‘dishonesty’ on COVID-19 origins:
Sen. Rand Paul 12 replies
Dr. Anthony Fauci “should go to prison” for mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic and making the “worst decision ever made by a public health official in the history of time” regarding the origins of the deadly outbreak, Sen. Rand Paul charged Sunday.
Paul, a Kentucky Republican and eye doctor, has repeatedly clashed with Fauci over mask-wearing, lockdowns and other emergency measures ordered and recommended by the then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). “History should judge him as a deficient person who made one of the worst decisions in public health history — in the entire history of the world,” Paul said
Fetterman Sides With Republicans Again
20 replies
In a rare move, Democrat Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is receiving praise from Republicans after criticizing his own party’s stance on several issues.
Fetterman has slammed the Democratic Party’s progressive “Squad” who refuse to condemn the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel. He questioned why the United States hasn’t yet destroyed Hamas, adding that every terrorist killed is "one more step" toward peace. The Democrat has stood by his pro-Israel stance, angering members of his party who believe more should be done to help Gaza despite Hamas raping and heinously killing innocent Israelis.

'Parade of Horribles': Menendez Says His

Corruption Charges Threatens Everyone
in the Senate 17 replies
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is fighting for his political life, and he knows it. The embattled New Jersey Democrat was slapped with a superseding indictment where he allegedly helped the Qatari government in return for lavish gifts. Menendez is already facing corruption charges and acting as a foreign agent vis-à-vis his relationship with Egyptian officials. When federal agents raided his home last September, over $400,000 were stuffed in various items of clothing, along with gold bars, which appears to be a sticking point with a lot of his Democratic colleagues. The Garden State liberal has faced corruption charges before, thus far avoiding conviction.
Conservatives and liberals, Republicans and Democrats, Independents and Libertarians, all are for successful rehabilitation of American criminals. The key word is “successful.” Beyond the important discussions about the role of punishment, “paying a debt to society,” psychological, moral, or spiritual redemption, and “doing the time” in common parlance, is the nature of the complex process, components, or atmosphere of a criminal’s successful rehabilitation.
Claudine Gay’s Most Grievous Sin
11 replies
Claudine Gay’s sudden resignation from Harvard has been an eye-opener. Why would Harvard appoint a serial plagiarizer with an undistinguished scholarly record as its President? Or a person with such limited administrative experience?
Nevertheless, this disaster is even worse. Claudine Gay is intent on promoting the Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (DIE) agenda whose aim is to radically transform the United States, including universities such as Harvard. Nor is she alone in her radical quest.
I like hockey, though I’m not a die-hard follower of the USA national teams. Yet, I caught how Gabe Perrault and Drew Fortescue, who the New York Rangers drafted 23rd and 90th overall, respectively, last year, were putting on a show in Sweden for the World Junior championships. In the championship match, Team USA emerged victorious, beating the Swedes 6-2 for the gold (via The Guardian): "The United States got the revenge they desperately craved.
Isaac Howard scored twice in the second period and the US beat host Sweden 6-2 on Friday to capture gold at the IIHF world junior hockey championship.

Harvard -- Out the Frying Pan Into the Fire
16 replies
Harvard may assume the forced resignation of its president, Claudine Gay, has finally ended its month-long scandal over her tenure.
Gay stepped down, remember, amid serious allegations of serial plagiarism --without refuting the charges. She proved either unable or unwilling to discipline those on her campus who were defiantly antisemitic in speech and action.
But Gay's removal is not the end of Harvard's dilemma. Rather, it is the beginning.
In the respective press releases from both Gay and the Harvard Corporation, racial animus was cited as a reason for her removal.
Gay did not even refer to her failure to stop antisemitism on her campus or her own record of blatant plagiarism.
Elon Musk is Right

Elon Musk is presently the richest man in the world.
He may also be the smartest.
In an interview with the British prime minister, Musk warned about the dangers of AI (artificial intelligence).
He said, "There will come a point when no job is needed – you can have a job if you want for personal satisfaction, but the AI will be able to do everything." Breitbart.com has added a new category to its menu: AI danger. Here you can read some of what Musk has concluded:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) promises war if New York passes a bill forcing Chick-fil-A to open on Sundays.
This week, Graham said he would withhold federal funding from any city or state government that enforces the proposed bill on the popular fast food joint. Last week, a bill was filed in the New York State Assembly that would require some Chick-fil-A locations to operate every day of the week, despite the restaurant's longstanding policy to keep its doors closed on Sundays for religious reasons.
"This is war," Graham wrote on X. "If this goes forward, I will be introducing legislation withholding federal funds
When conflicts in the Middle East exposed the cracks in the foundation of the United States’ higher learning institutions, many college presidents tried to appeal to American democratic values to seal the gaps. The trouble is, it’s been so long since universities upheld democracy that most college presidents don’t even recognize it anymore. After a disastrous congressional hearing on anti-Semitism on December 5, University of Pennsylvania’s president Liz Magill has been sacked for attempting to excuse violent anti-Semitic threats on Penn’s campus. Harvard’s President Claudine Gay is also facing calls to resign following a federal investigation into Harvard University for possible civil-rights violations.

While Republican primary voters think Donald Trump is their best shot in November, it's Nikki Haley who right now holds a bigger lead over Joe Biden than either Trump or Ron DeSantis in potential head-to-head match-ups.
In fact, as the GOP presidential nomination kicks off, Trump, Haley and DeSantis all have at least a slight national edge on President Biden right now, were they to emerge as his challenger. (Haley and DeSantis have tougher roads to get that chance, of course, since they trail Trump substantially in the race for the nomination.) What's behind Haley's lead?
Here's why Haley has such a lead over Biden:
White House staff had to be 'relocated' after thousands of pro Palestine supporters descended on the building, threatening to breach the security fence and lobbing over bloodied dolls as part of a huge demonstration demanding a ceasefire on Gaza.
Law enforcement defending the People's House donned riot gear as a baying mob pelted them with dolls and other projectiles.
Video taken at the event on Saturday shows how the metal perimeter was shaken so hard that portions of it were shunted back, forcing secret service operatives to rush to one part to prevent a breach.
Joe Biden on Saturday stopped to talk to reporters posted up on the South Lawn as he departed to Camp David, the presidential retreat in Catoctin Mountain Park in Maryland for another weekend vacation.
Reporters asked Joe Biden about escalations with Iran, the border crisis and Ukraine.
Biden denied there is a crisis at the southern border even though an estimated 11 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age males from Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East – invaded on his watch.

A Georgia district attorney accused of hiring her lover to prosecute former President Trump broke her silence on the controversy, saying she and the prosecutor were targeted because they are black.
“They only attacked one,” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis Sunday at Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta. “First thing they say, ‘Oh, she’s gonna play the race card now.’
“But no God, isn’t it them that’s playing the race card when they only question one?”
The comments were Willis’ first time addressing the allegations publicly — but she neither confirmed nor denied the claims lobbed at her and special prosecutor Nathan Wade,
Hundreds of Biden Administration employees plan to walk out on their jobs in protest of the president’s support of Israel.
According to organizers of the walk-out, U.S. government workers from 22 departments intend to walk off the job on Tuesday to protest the Biden Administration’s support for Israel regarding the war in Gaza. “Feds United for Peace” is reportedly frustrated with the president’s refusal to send aid to Gaza— which has fueled the war in Israel, killing thousands of innocent civilians.
In 2008 the media lapped up the master of Shuck and Jive, Barack Obama and his high-falutin' promise:
Now, Mizzou, I just have two words for you tonight: five days. Five days. After decades of broken politics in Washington, and eight years of failed policies from George W. Bush, and 21 months of a campaign that's taken us from the rocky coast of Maine to the sunshine of California, we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.
"In five days, you can turn the page on policies that put greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street before the hard work and sacrifice of folks on Main Street.

You know what would make Americans feel a whole lot better about President Biden’s penchant for forgetting where he is or what he is saying?
Fewer ties.
Without those constrictive nuisances — and with a few more “subtle shifts” — voters will surely see that the octogenarian isn’t too old to run a nation when the world is on fire.
As a “buttoned-up president who often appears behind a lectern in a suit and tie,” Biden is now “heeding pleas from top advisers to return to his original form, according to multiple people familiar with the conversations,” NBC News reported on Friday.
The frigid Iowa Republican Caucus will be held tomorrow on Monday night in below zero temperatures.
Democrats will not hold their first contest in Iowa this year. They will skip over Iowa with several other planned primaries. Their last attempt in 2020 ended in complete failure. No winner was produced in the 2016 caucus.
Democrat supporters blamed racism for the debacle. FOX News on Sunday announced Democrats may switch parties to vote for Nikki Haley – they like her pro-war, globalist, woke bent.
Former COVID czar Dr. Anthony Fauci gave closed-door testimony before Congress last week, so it’s time yet again for the Fauci Follies!
The pint-size patron saint of the failed restrictionist policies that lefties and COVID crazies love simply can’t admit he’s lost a massive argument with reality.
The Not-So-Good Doctor got off to a weak start in DC, surprising House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chair Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) with “how much he doesn’t recall” from the start of the pandemic.
Concerns are intensifying among far-left national security “experts” and Pentagon insiders over the possibility that former President Donald Trump might leverage the U.S. military to enforce his political will if he returns to the Oval Office.
In a detailed report, NBC News inadvertently admitted the existence of a “Deep State,” allegedly working to facilitate a military coup against former President Trump if he is freely and fairly elected by Americans.
The NBC article paints a portrait of a left-wing plot to disrupt military allegiance to civilian control.

The Federal Aviation Administration is actively recruiting workers who suffer “severe intellectual” disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website.
“Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring,” the FAA’s website states. “They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.”
The Gateway project to build two new badly needed tunnels for trains under the Hudson River is already running two years behind schedule — even though it just broke ground, a federal audit shows. Officials at the Gateway Development Commission have publicly stated that by 2038 they will have finished digging and constructing the new tunnels and then rehabilitate the two existing trans-Hudson tubes, which were badly damaged by Superstorm Sandy. However, the audit performed for the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Transit Administration shows the work will likely take until 2040.
