6 Ways McConnell Betrays the Republican Base
Posted By: Magnante, 6/24/2022 5:03:31 AM
I do try to respect President Reagan's 11th Commandment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of thy fellow Republican." (snip) But…you knew it was coming…I sure wish we could move on from Mitch McConnell. Or rather, I wish we could find an effective way to compel Republican senators to move on from McConnell (and his lackeys) as their leader. I don't like him. I don't like the way he conducts business in the Senate. I don't like his imperious nature and his backroom double-dealings. I don't think he represents the vast majority of Republican voters

Why Democrats Want to Get Rid of the Suburbs
44 replies
The war on America's suburbs has opened a new front. Buried in President Biden's proposed budget for 2023 is a $10-billion bribe for suburban communities to remove zoning barriers to high-density housing. (snip) It is a strong signal to Democrat-controlled states to gear up the decades-long efforts to bludgeon affluent communities into submitting to "housing justice" and providing their "fair share." (snip) These efforts are being fueled by housing activists and progressive think-tanks like the Brookings Institution, which declared in a January 2022 article: "By some measures, the suburban counties around New York City have some of the worst exclusionary zoning in the nation."
In honor of Pride month, let’s get real
26 replies
June is the month during which we’re inundated with LGBTQ+++ Pride. You can’t get away from it. (snip) What gets lost in all of this is the day-to-day reality of the LGBTQ+++ lifestyle. In honor of Pride, I thought I’d share some of the realities with you, just to round out the experience. (snip) Bathhouses and orgies, through sheer volume, are not just impersonal, but depersonalize the men involved (snip) For lesbians, the problem is a different one: The death of the libido, something that, when properly and respectfully used, is one of Nature’s or God’s little gift to humans.
Something totally unexpected happened during MSNBC’s coverage of the January 6 show trial: The network’s preeminent star, Rachel Maddow, told the truth: that Trump’s rally on that day had nothing to do with the Capitol breach.
(snip) [video] I have to wonder if something else might be going on. After all, CNN’s new ownership has installed a boss who wants to shift the cable channel toward the center because its ratings are so awful. And while MSNBC’s ownership hasn’t changed, the latest ratings for it are disastrous
Hunter Biden is one of the most deeply disturbed, even revolting, people known to the American public. Yet Miranda Devine, at the New York Post, says there’s evidence that the person on whom Joe Biden is relying for political advice isn’t his wife, chief of staff, or former boss, despite what everyone thinks. Instead, it’s Hunter Biden. That would certainly explain both why and how our country is going so quickly to Hell in a handbasket.
It's almost impossible to exaggerate just what an appalling man Hunter Biden is.
The dystopian state of our nation

“If you want to know who controls you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize.” Voltaire
The signs of decline are everywhere: violent crimes, corruption, riots, all with little or no consequences for the perpetrators, election fraud, medical mandates for vaccines that do not work. “Doctors put drugs of which they know little into bodies of which they know less for diseases of which they know nothing at all.” Voltaire All of this is part of the left’s grand plan to “transform” American society from the free nation of our founding into something resembling communist China.
Pete Buttigieg took questions on Sunday from George Stephanopoulos. This little man with the carefully tweezed eyebrows, sleazy 5:00 shadow, Alfred E. Neuman mien, and orator’s voice hid behind fatuous, hackneyed political babble even as he discretely revealed the hardcore totalitarianism that drives him and, indeed, drives the entire Biden administration. In many ways, Buttigieg is like a Stepford politician. There’s something eerily unreal about the man as, no matter the question, he responds with administration talking points rather than substantive information.
Ukraine will prevail?
8 replies
In Ukraine, a hundred days of warfare has passed and the Russians are still there, pounding cities, and not going away. In the east, they appear to be gaining ground in taking control of the Donbas. They still have overwhelming superiority of men and materiel, and the signals from Moscow say no let-up.
Yesterday, the Russians were actually back to shelling Kiev. So much for all that political tourism -- from Jill Biden, to Bono, to Boris Johnson, to Nancy Pelosi... The Russians also destroyed a major grain terminal in Mykolaiv. The ports for exports of Ukrainian grain remain blocked and land transport is gummed up
I have no gay pride. I don’t have gay hatred either. I simply don’t care very much. (snip) I bet most people, like me, dislike the annual barrage of mandatory love for the LGBTQ+++ crowd and especially dislike the industry that’s sprung up around confusing kids about their biological and then giving them expensive, mutilating surgery and toxic drugs. These same people almost certainly don’t make up NASCAR’s fan base. Corporate NASCAR, however, has decided to stand with the LGBTQ++ activists. (snip) NASCAR, though, has been having a bit of a problem keeping fans.
The fall of Piers Morgan
15 replies
It's been over a month since Piers Morgan Uncensored was launched. Rupert Murdoch reportedly signed Morgan to a $63 million three-year deal and left no stone unturned in promoting the show. There were billboards and newspaper advertisements. Morgan appeared on Fox News and on all major shows in the UK. It was looking promising.
Then Morgan leaped straight into the gutter, pulling a cheap publicity stunt ably supported by his employers. Morgan claimed that Trump walked out of his ‘explosive’ interview because of his tough questions. He even wrote an exaggerated piece about it in the NY Post. The claim of the walkout turned out to be a complete falsehood
How the Democrats Defraud Black America
14 replies
Almost everything in this world can be divided into two spheres: the image the public sees, and the underlying reality. (snip) The Democratic Party was associated with the Ku Klux Klan and segregation for most of the 20th Century. But in the 1960s it made a hard turn to the left. It currently claims to act in the best interests of the Black community in a noble battle against racism and White Supremacy. But in example after example, the Democratic party instead causes great damage and permanent harm to these same people that it claims to represent. The case against the Democratic Party is overwhelming.
How the COVID Vaccines Kill
21 replies
With each passing day, the news connected to the COVID shots grows worse. That the injections don’t prevent COVID -- or even its spread -- has been known for months, and post-injection problems encompass almost everything that can go wrong with a body.
“Not a single organ, not a single bodily function, is unharmed” after one of these shots, said Arne Burkhardt, a professor of forensics at Reutlingen’s Pathological Institute.
So little has been written about why “side effects” such as myocarditis have popped up that one can’t help but wonder: Does anybody understand how these shots work?
In the space below, let’s pick three of the harshest complications

Bill Maher thinks Donald Trump can cruise to a win in 2024 if he just lets the 2020 election go.
Right now, people around the country are wondering whether or not Trump will run for President again after losing last time, and the host of “Real Time with Bill Maher” thinks he will crush Democrats if he can just stop talking about 2020.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is starting to ask Democrats to switch parties and vote for her, as she faces a tough primary battle with a candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
Cheney’s campaign website recently added a section that asks and answers questions about voting.
It notes that voters must be registered as a Republican to vote for Cheney in the Aug. 16 primary.
“How do I change my party affiliation to register as a Republican so I can vote for Liz?” the website states, before telling voters how to change their affiliation.
Under Wyoming law, voters can submit an application by mail to change their party up to 14 days before an
NEW YORK -- In response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that enshrined to the right to abortion in the United States, Mayor Eric Adams spoke about how abortion prevented his life from being derailed when he and his girlfriend accidentally got pregnant when he was 15 years old. During a press conference in front of City Hall on Friday, the mayor described his experience, called for Democrats to expand the Supreme Court and pledged New York City would provide aboritons for those who don’t have access traveling from out of state.
A former U.S. Army helicopter pilot admitted to serving as a paid agent of the Chinese government, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Thursday. Shapour Moinian pleaded guilty to making false statements during security background checks and also admitted to accepting payment in exchange for passing aviation secrets obtained from his defense contractor employer to Chinese agents, the DOJ announcement stated. Moinian now faces 15 years in prison and a fine up to $500,000 for his crimes at his August 29 sentencing.(Snip)After serving in the U.S. Army between 1977 and 2000, Moinian worked for the Department of Defense and various defense contractors, according to the DOJ announcement.
A pickup truck has plowed into pro-choice protesters in Iowa as demonstrations turned violent after the Supreme Court's bombshell Roe v Wade ruling.
The black vehicle drove through the group of activists in Cedar Rapids despite them screaming at it to stop and hammering the hood and window.
One appeared to get caught in front of it and narrowly avoided being run over before the driver sped off during the shocking exchange on Friday night.
Another had her foot run over and was left howling in pain. And a third was flung to the floor as he drove away, suffering bruises and scrapes.
During an interview on MSNBC on Friday, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) said she thinks that the Supreme Court “tipped off” pro-life protestors about how it was going to rule in the Dobbs decision. Because when she went over to the Supreme Court, there were only pro-life protestors. She later admitted, “I don’t have any evidence” for the claim the court tipped off pro-life protestors.
Speier stated, “I went over to the Supreme Court early, and the only people that were there were the protestors who were pro-birth, not pro-life, and I thought they had been tipped off.”
Host Stephanie Ruhle then followed up on Speier’s claim that pro-life protestors were
Social media users have criticized former President Barack Obama for not passing legislation to codify abortion rights into federal following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn two landmark abortion rulings. Obama, a Democrat who served as president from 2009 to 2017, took to Twitter on Friday in response to the Court's decision to overturn 1973's Roe v. Wade and 1992's Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which had found a woman's right to abortion was constitutionally protected. (Snip) "The Dems refused to Codify Roe even when they had the power to," wrote screenwriter Thomas Cunningham. "RBG refused to retire when Obama
It comes as no surprise that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has issued a statement all but condemning Friday’s overturn of Roe — by pledging that the United States military “be all that it can be” [sarcasm] and will do all it can in support of “seamless access to reproductive health care [on-demand abortion].”
What is a bit of a surprise — Austin’s apparent ignorance of federal law — is laughable.(snip) There is no “federal law,” Mr. Secretary. The Roe overturn correctly returned abortion decisions to the states. Besides, the Hyde Amendment already begs to differ:
The Hyde Amendment Codification Act —Prohibits the expenditure for any abortion of funds authorized
Chaos and mayhem took over in Los Angeles on Friday night as pro-abortion activists rioted over the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and hand control of abortion laws back to the states.(Tweet/Video) Several officers were hit with “what appeared to be fireworks and projectiles,” according to a report from ABC 7.
Less-lethal munitions were used in an attempt disperse the crowd, but many of the protesters seemed determined to fight the police. (Tweet/Video) There were multiple protests across Los Angeles, including in Downtown and Hollywood.
