Taki's State of the Union
Posted By: Hazymac, 2/26/2024 10:39:52 AM
Things ain’t looking that good. Nothing seems to be working in the so-called free world: rubbish in the streets, vandalism and violent crime, illegal immigration at record levels, no-go areas in towns and cities; is this why we pay taxes and call ourselves free? Mass shootings have become a way of life in America, illegal underage migrants are turning New York and Chicago into war zones, and Joe Biden is given a pass by an enabling and compliant media that has made the profession of journalism lower than that of the oldest profession. Even Donald Tusk is not playing fair. He’s trampling Polish democracy

"Just when I thought I was out," former and now once again Democrat presidential candidate Marianne Williamson might have complained to the press on Wednesday, "they pull me back in!" Following the surprisingly strong finish by "Uncommitted" in Tuesday's Michigan Democrat primary, the author and activist released a video statement on Twitter/X. In it, she said, "As of today, I am unsuspending my campaign for the president of the United States... I had suspended it because I was losing the horse race, but something so much more important than the horse race is at stake here, and we must respond.”

Blackouts, Here We Come

People around the world are increasingly realizing that “green” energy is actually black–as in blackouts. Thus, in today’s Telegraph: “The UK is much closer to blackouts than anyone dares to admit.”
"We are heading for a big electricity crunch as it is. Whoever wins the general election, the next government will be committed to decarbonising the National Grid – by 2035 in the case of the Conservatives and by 2030 in the case of Labour. That means either closing all the gas power stations or fitting them with carbon capture and storage technology – which does not yet exist on scale in Britain and whose costs are likely to be massive.

President Biden spoke at the Governors Ball Dinner in the State Dining Room at the White House on Saturday evening (video excerpt below). The White House has posted the transcript of his brief remarks here.
After the introductory blather, Biden referred to the portrait of Abraham Lincoln behind him — you can see it here — as he attempted to follow his text. This is how the White House transcript of the fourth paragraph reads:
"And, you know, standing here in front of this portrait of the man behind me here, he — he said — and I want to make sure I get the quote exactly right. He said,
Leonal Moreno, a Venezuelan migrant influencer, has asked his more than 300,000 followers on TikTok to “unite” in support of Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa, the 15-year-old migrant who shot a woman in New York’s Times Square earlier this month.
In his video pleading to his followers, Moreno asked that people donate to pay for Rivas-Figueroa’s (pictured above) legal fees.
“I invite you to find [his] mother and [for] all of us to unite to pay the fines [so] that the young Venezuelan feels that he’s not alone during difficult moments. Remember that up there there’s a God who sees everything [down here],” he said.
“An entire nation [is] on top of him
A longtime Republican National Committee member, Henry Barbour, has introduced two resolutions for consideration by the RNC board that the Trump campaign opposes as "absurd." The first proposal would enforce the RNC by-laws that forbid the national committee from taking sides in a primary. The proposed resolution would explicitly prevent the RNC from coordinating with a campaign until one candidate has won 1215 delegates, which is the number needed for the nomination.
"The Republican National Committee must serve as a neutral player in primaries," the proposal reads, pointing to RNC Rule 11. That rule states the national party shall not "contribute money or in-kind aid to any
The hysteria about Donald Trump's return to office is really something to behold. From Trump critics believing that he wants to kill them to reporters warning that Trump will send them to jail if he's re-elected, the level of surreal expectation of disaster is something I've never seen or experienced in nearly 50 years of writing about politics. I don't have to tell PJ Media readers where I stand when it comes to Donald Trump. But opposition from many leftists to Trump's candidacy has morphed into an insane, fervent, almost religious crusade. There's no reasoning with these people. There's no rational argument that can convince them that the hysteria
If I could impart one bit of wisdom to you today, I hope that people who tell you they are anything – good, smart, honest, not selling you something, conservative, etc. – are the opposite. Truly smart people don’t have to tell anyone they’re smart, people just know. The same goes for funny people. The more someone insists they are something, the less likely they are to be that thing. Do you know how I know Democrats are the party of compassion and caring? By now they insist they are all the time. It’s the same way I know they’re uncaring opportunists who’d dance on your grave

John Kerry: “Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world. And we can’t get to Net Zero—we don’t get the job done—unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution. You just can’t continue to both warm the planet while also expecting to feed it. It doesn’t work. So, we have to reduce emissions from the food system.” What a dilemma. If we feed people, we will continue to warm the planet. If we continue to warm the planet, billions will die in 100 years from global warming because of the food we are eating now.
The headlines are full of stories about illegal aliens: They’re raping children, murdering young women, crashing their cars into children, assaulting and murdering police officers…and the list goes on. However, we’re told that we’re stuck with them. Well, we’re not. In the 1950s, when there was political will—and a plea from Mexico to send its citizens home—we did mass deport illegal aliens. Like Pakistan deporting its illegal Afghan aliens, El Salvador jailing its gangs, or Argentina balancing its budget in nine weeks, it just requires political will.
I made a lot of assertions about illegal aliens in my opening paragraph. Let me back them up with just a few examples.
The Enhanced Games are set to debut in 2025, and since its inception, they've been dubbed the "Olympics on Steroids" – and that's because performance-enhancing drugs will be 100% allowed.
Dr. Aron D'Souza founded the event last year, and the immediate backlash has been strong. He has been told his idea is unsafe, unfair and a mockery of the real Olympics, but disagrees with those assessments.
In fact, D'Souza calls his Enhanced Games "the future of sports" because his event epitomizes the safety and fairness of sports, not sports as we know them today.
Steroids, obviously, have the stigma of not being safe. So, allowing steroids is simply unsafe, right? Wrong, says D'Souza.
Even after 47 years of marriage, the romance between President Joe Biden and Jill Biden is far from dead.
From kisses before he boards Air Force One to date nights and him introducing himself as 'Jill's husband', the stress of the White House has showed no signs of straining their relationship.
But, in private, the president has revealed some very risqué secrets about why their bond is so strong, much to his wife's annoyance.
He infuriates wife Jill by joking that the key to their 47-year marriage is 'good sex'.
His racy comment has been revealed for the first time by Katie Rogers

Instance Shouldn't Shape Our Overall Immigration Policy" 32 replies
Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) in an interview with CNN anchor Erin Burnett on Monday referred to the murder of University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant as "one instance" and that it "shouldn't shape our overall immigration policy."
"I think whenever were dealing with violent crime, there is a sense of outrage, of sadness and loss," Porter said. "But I think the important thing to focus on is any one instance shouldn't shape our overall immigration policy."
"So we have all different kinds of chaos and challenges from not having enough immigration judges to not investing in technology that can help a screen for fentanyl
For decades, American sports fans welcomed Bob Costas into their homes with open arms as he offered thoughtful commentary and analysis in regard to sports.
That entire time, the veteran TV personality apparently held a deep personal hatred for so many of us.
On Sunday during an interview on CNN, Costas referred to people who support former President Donald Trump’s bid for the White House — people who need immediate relief from inflation and illegal immigrant crime — as “toxic” and delusional.”
The comments were made as the 71-year-old attacked Trump while speaking to network host Michael Smerconish.
If you had told the average person that an anarchist or an airman had set himself on fire to protest Israel’s campaign against Islamic terrorists, you would get two very different reactions.
Unsurprisingly the media led with the data point most likely to produce a favorable reaction. And Aaron Bushnell cynically played the same game, wearing (the wrong) uniform to his Hamas suicide attempt rather than the Antifa red in which he had been previously photographed.
The Washington Post gets around to admitting that Bushnell was an “anarchist”. [SNIP] But the Washington Post then misleadingly suggests he was raised in a Christian cult.
The Supreme Court will not throw Donald Trump off the ballot through some sort of deus ex MSNBCmachina, and Trump’s polls are improving while President Crusty’s are getting worse, so we face the real possibility of Donald Trump winning the presidency. Obviously, it’s not a done deal, but it is a bigger possibility than it used to be. Well, the Democrats are facing it, and now they’re trying to figure out how to stop him from taking office if and when he wins the election.
This is a really bad idea.
But of course, the Democrat Party is the Party of Bad Ideas, and the Party of Nanny Fascism.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) is calling for changes to the city’s “sanctuary” policy that helped an illegal alien walk free, without being turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, who is now accused of kidnapping and murdering 22-year-old Laken Riley in Athens, Georgia.
“For those who are committing crimes, we need to modify the sanctuary city law that if you commit a felony or a violent act, we should be able to turn you over to ICE and have you deported,” Adams said at a town hall on Monday in Brooklyn.

Johnson to help Ukraine in ‘intense’

Washington— Congressional leaders emerged from an “intense” Oval Office meeting with President Joe Biden on Tuesday speaking optimistically about the prospects for avoiding a partial government shutdown, but with new uncertainty about aid for Ukraine and Israel as the president and others urgently warned Speaker Mike Johnson of the grave consequences of delay.
Biden called the leaders to the White House in hopes of making progress against a legislative logjam on Capitol Hill that has major ramifications not just for the U.S. but for the world as Ukraine struggles to repel Russia’s invasion with weapons and ammunition starting to run short.Biden hosted Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., House Minority Leader
President Joe Biden joked that Donald Trump is 'about as old as I am' and blamed his predecessor for the crisis at the US-Mexico border in an interview with Seth Meyers Monday.
Biden's visit to Meyers' NBC 10th anniversary 'Late Night' had already made headlines when the president told a media member he believed there would be a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas within a week while getting ice cream with the host.
The liberal-leaning host Meyers questioned the president about that but also pressed him on concerns about his age, with a majority of voters believing he's too old to run the country
Nathan Wade's divorce lawyer Terrence Bradley tied himself in knots on the stand on Tuesday as he said 'I can't recall if I lied' and claimed he was 'speculating' when he claimed in a bombshell text message that his prosecutor client started dating Fani Willis before she hired him.
Bradley insisted he couldn't remember when his former law partner began his relationship with Willis during a grilling in the hearing that could see the Fulton County District Attorney thrown off the Donald Trump case.
We recently highlighted the story of the journalist Catherine Herridge, who was fired by CBS News, after which the network seized her confidential files. Herridge had been working on stories that might be negative for Joe Biden and the administration, so people were naturally suspicious and outraged. Now, after public scrutiny and pressure from members of Congress, the network has returned the files. [Snip] SAG-AFTRA is pleased to confirm that earlier today a representative of our union monitored the return of several boxes containing Catherine Herridge’s reporting materials from her CBS News office in Washington D.C. Herridge is currently reviewing the materials.

The illegal immigrant suspect charged in Augusta University nursing student Laken Riley's death in Athens, Georgia, is accused of "disfiguring" her skull, according to new information added to the affidavit.
Jose Antonio Ibarra is charged with the felonies of malice murder, murder, kidnapping, false imprisonment, aggravated assault, aggravated battery and concealing the death of another, as well as the misdemeanor of physically hindering a 911 call, according to the affidavit filed on Feb. 23. According to new information added this week, Ibarra "did commit the offense of aggravated battery when he maliciously causes bodily harm to another by seriously disfiguring her body or a member thereof by disfiguring her
The United States Army is being forced to reduce the size of its force — as a predictable result of failing to meet recruitment and retention goals — by roughly five percent, according to the Pentagon in what the Department of Defense prefers to call more of a reshuffle as a result of what officials say is a "significantly overstructured" service.It seems as though a time in which Iran-backed terrorists are on the march across the Middle East, including attacking U.S. bases and killing American service members — and following Biden's handover of Afghanistan to the Taliban who have returned the country to an oasis for other radical Islamist
