There’s a MeToo reckoning happening on the Hill, and it’s going to shake up both parties, honestly. For now, Democrats are left taking it on the chin as former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) steps back from public life in disgrace. The California liberal, who was leading in California’s gubernatorial race, saw his career destroyed in less than 72 hours after multiple sexual misconduct and rape allegations derailed his campaign. He withdrew from the governor’s race and later resigned. His resignation came hours after another accuser claimed the former congressman had violently raped her in 2018. This follows a previous allegation by a former staffer in 2019. Former pharmaceutical executive

Ro Khanna is among the most irritating of congresscritters. It's not surprising to hear that he, too, has feet of clay. May Martin Shkreli--peace be upon him--find the incontrovertible evidence on Khanna that he seeks. Then drive the bastage out of D.C.

From the article: "There’s a MeToo reckoning happening on the Hill, and it’s going to shake up both parties, honestly." I guess this statement needed to be said out of fairness but so far it has been Democrats. . .

It seems that politics appears to attract the lowest of lowlifes to the fold. Anyone who needs or desires fame, power, or public adulation as a fix needs to be looked at scrupulously. The financial compensation just seems to follow once they're compromised...until the inevitable fall. Only the biggest, well-insulated politicos (looking at you, Nancy and Chuck) seem to be immune - for now. greyseal

It's fitting that the Democrat party is using past consensual sex between male officials and younger female subordinates to increase the power of women in the party. As Jessica Tarlov let slip yesterday on "The Five", even if the woman initially believes the encounter was consensual, she can always claim it was rape at a later time if it serves her ambitions for power. The message to young men is clear: once you cross the line of intimacy with a woman, she has a claim on your life in the future, with no statute of limitations, even if it was initially consensual. You have given enormous power to a woman who has her own subconscious goals for how she will use it. The Democrat party has now institutionalized and weaponized this power.

It seems that Political Power is a magnet for immoral people. I believe that the Founders knew that, and it is one of the reasons that the Founders designed the Federal government where the political power is divided up between different groups, and each group is selected in a different way, so that it would be very difficult for one group to gain absolute power. Reading about the latest escapade, my mind made a jump back many years, to Democ'Rat Rep. Wilbur Mills who ran the House Ways and Means committee with an iron fist, until his reign came to an abrupt end during his drunken adventure with stripper Fanne Fox that involved a midnight swim in the Tidal Basin. Back to today's scandal, it is pretty obvious that Swalwell's conduct was pretty well known.... the 'Rat powers-that-be held that knowledge to themselves until such time as they wanted to remove him from the process. The sudden coming forward of several females accusing Swalwell of 'sexual misconduct' -that happened several years ago- is a standard practice of the 'Rats, one usually used on their Republican adversaries, but every now and then they turn the process on a fellow 'Rat that is not Toeing the Line. What an Evil Rotten Bunch those people are!

LEESBURG, Fla. - The Lake County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man who they say attempted to shoot a dog that was attacking a woman. Instead, the person of interest shot the dog's owner, killing him, deputies said. Now, deputies are searching for the man, who they say ran away from the area after the shooting, officials said. Schools in the area are placed on lockdown due to the police activity. What we know: The shooting reportedly happened around a homeless camp, on April 17 near Griffin Road and Tally Box Road, in Leesburg. According to LCSO, a woman was reportedly being attacked by a large dog. A man, later identified as

In one of the most out-of-touch examples I’ve seen of Democrats in recent weeks, we’ve now got Philadelphia mayor Cherelle Parker yelling at her constituents over a new tax she wants on each and every ride-sharing journey: if enacted, all Uber and Lyft rides would have an additional dollar tacked on (to support the dying city education system), which in a substantial number of instances, wouldn’t be a miniscule tax. (The average cost of a rideshare in Philadelphia is somewhere between $16 and $24, or 6.25% and 4%, respectively.) Parker wonders “how dare” the citizens and voters question how much she wants to take out of their pockets for others’ expenses:
The Party of Sexual Perverts 4 replies

Mark Levin labeled the Democrat party the Party of Hate; others have described it as the Party of “Death to America.” A good case can be made for both descriptions. The statement that the Democrat party is the party of sexual perverts is not an ad hominem statement, nor meant as an insult. Rather, it is intended as an accurate description, easily verified. This moniker is something that Republicans should hammer home with the public (but probably won’t; to do so “wouldn’t be polite”). Coming from a research background, I often cite data — that is, lists of facts, without intervening flowery statements. While general accusations

Police fatally shot a woman who they said cut a 3-year-old boy in the face during an alleged kidnapping attempt at a Walmart in Omaha, Nebraska, Tuesday morning. Two officers shot the woman, Noemi Guzman, after she cut the boy and refused to drop a knife she had stolen from the store, the police department said in a news release. Guzman, 31, made multiple threats with the weapon before the officers opened fire, the department said. The child was taken to the hospital with a large cut across his face and is expected to recover, Omaha Deputy Police Chief Scott

In a little over a year in office, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has achieved a series of military triumphs that have not, perhaps, been equaled since World War II: the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, and the air campaign against Iran’s regime. These missions have been flawlessly executed by Hegseth’s department, so naturally the Democrats want to impeach him. The first articles of impeachment were filed in January by Michigan Congressman Shri Thanedar, but got little attention. A new, expanded set of articles was filed today. You can read the document here. Axios describes the articles here. The impeachment resolution is being introduced by

RealClearPolitics has flagged this X post by Jesús Enrique Rosas by including it in its lineup this morning. It is necessary and clarifying. Last week the pope met with former Obama strategist David Axelrod. CBS News reported that the meeting took place this past Thursday. No one said anything about what went down at the meeting. Axelrod’s memoir, by the way, is entitled Believer. The reference is not to religion. The subtitle clarifies the subject: My Forty Years in Politics. Conrad Black notes in his Brussels Signal column this morning that over the weekend, “The CBS television program 60 Minutes, a long time spigot of anti-Trump bile, gathered together three haemophiliac bleeding-heart cardinals,

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is widely known as a liberal jurist who can reliably be expected to vote with her leftist colleagues, Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, on virtually every issue, as the three mostly march in lockstep. Ketanji Brown Jackson, in particular, seems to decide cases based on her own personal opinion, not relying too much on that pesky old Constitution. But now Sotomayor can add a new adjective to her profile: “obnoxious.” The Obama-appointed jurist took the unusual step of making a personal attack on a fellow justice, Brett Kavanaugh, at an appearance at the University of Kansas School of Law on April 7.

Hippos typically live exclusively in the wetlands, lakes, and rivers of sub-Saharan Africa... unless an infamous drug lord imported them to South America in the early 1980s, was fatally shot about a decade later, and the ones he kept as pets escaped, adapted to the region, and created their own colony. You may or may not recall that at the time Pablo Escobar was killed in 1993, he owned hundreds of exotic animals, including four hippopotamuses that he reportedly imported from a wildlife center in Texas, which were kept at his Hacienda Nápoles estate. After his death, the Colombian government deemed them impossible to seize, so they were just left there,

One of the fundamental tenets of Christianity is that Jesus is the Son of God and that he is the Messiah (or Christ) — God’s chosen deliverer for His people. Jesus’ role as the Messiah fulfilled God’s promises of redemption. “In the Bible, the Messiah is the anointed king through whom God establishes his rule over the world,” explains the Lexham Theological Wordbook. (Snip) There’s apparently still some confusion about Jesus’ Messianic role — that is, if you get your theology from The View.

The same eagle-eyed journalists who were gobsmacked — gobsmacked, I say! — to discover that Joe Biden’s brain was AWOL are now feigning disbelief over the Eric Swalwell sexual assault allegations. Who knew this young, promising, handsome politician, who was elected to Congress in his early 30s and was poised to become California’s next governor, had such a dark side? Well, apparently everyone: If true, it sets a peculiar timeline: Swalwell joined Congress in 2013. For over a dozen years, he was a powerful member of the political elite. A popular presence on cable TV shows, Swalwell always made time for the mainstream media.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is handing out $500 vouchers to migrants so they can enjoy haircuts, massages and other self-care benefits, despite the city's budget plunging nearly $50 million short. Applicants who are 'low-income, isolated queer and trans migrants, asylum seekers and refugees' are prioritized for the 'wellness allowance.' The initiative, called 'Boston Matters', was created by OUTnewcomers, a nonprofit that advocates for LGBTQ+ migrants in Boston alongside the Mayor's Office for Immigrant Advancement, Mass Daily News reported. Applicants get $250 to $500 toward 'non-clinical care' completely funded by the city agency, which is run by the Democrat's administration.

Has there ever been an automobile feature as widely despised as the stop-start system that the Obama administration forced on the country? Unlikely. Which is why new federal action that kills the requirement is cause for celebration. The “feature,” which is the wrong word for what’s truly a nuisance, automatically shuts off a car’s internal-combustion engine when it is idling at a red light or stuck in traffic. It restarts the engine when either the foot comes off the brake pedal or the accelerator is pressed.

Our Constitution creates a separation of powers and federalism—truly for the first time in modern history—to prevent the government from becoming so strong that it threatens our natural rights. Federalist No. 10 proposed the idea that the great threat to our rights comes from majority faction.Human history teaches us, alas, that numerical majorities frequently seek to control government, and use the state to violate the rights of the minority.
