On Memorial Day weekend, Kamala
outdoes Obama’s self-centeredness
Posted By: Magnante, 5/30/2021 3:38:53 AM
Obama earned rightful derision for the fact that, no matter the occasion, his tweets were always about Obama. Memorably, when he marked the 58th anniversary of Rosa Parks's refusal to sit on the back of the bus, his tweet, rather than picturing Parks, pictured Obama on the bus, gazing wistfully out the window. However, at least he acknowledged the occasion. Kamala Harris took things to a whole new level when her Memorial Day tweet had a picture of her smiling, along with the breezy message to “Enjoy the long weekend.” Of course, Memorial Day is not just an opportunity for a three-day weekend.

Stockholm Syndrome over Mask Wearing
14 replies
Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where “hostages or abuse victims bond with their captors and abusers.” This bonding can occur over days, weeks, or months of captivity and abuse. Rather than being terrorized by their captors, hostages sympathize with them, developing positive feelings, sharing common goals and causes, and essentially falling in love with their captors. (snip) A modern-day version of the Stockholm Syndrome is playing out after over a year of COVID captivity. Americans have been held hostage by medical czars like Dr Anthony Fauci, totalitarian governors named Cuomo, Newsom, Whitmer, Murphy, and Wolf, and big media, including cable news giants CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News.
Many fatalists see America in decline and China ascendent. China’s dictator, Xi Jinping, agrees in public. But beneath the shiny new infrastructure, the amazing economic growth and competitiveness, China has faces a reckoning, just as it prepares to mark a century of its Communist Party. (snip) China under the near-dictatorial rule of Xi Jinping is alienating most of the world’s advanced economies. (snip) The European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly to freeze the ratification process of an investment pact with China -- a deal that Beijing six months ago considered a big strategic victory.

Fauci will be gone in 90 days
26 replies
A lot has happened in the last two weeks that may result in the retirement of Dr. Anthony Fauci. The face of the government’s Covid-19 response may have finally met his Waterloo. The way things are going, a forced retirement at age 80 may be the best outcome that “Dr. Doom” can expect.
It turns out that all roads to Covid-19 – even more than we expected – lead back to Fauci. Finally, after a year of stonewalling and obfuscation, the news about Fauci’s apparent role in directing U.S. government funding to the notorious Wuhan Virology Lab
It all started with a Twitter post by a woman who calls herself Mia Khalifa, which I suspect is a pseudonym since it is the name she used when starring in pornographic videos, where stage names are the norm. You can see a collection of her body of work here, but for God’s sake, don’t open the link around children or at work, or in the presence of anyone with a weak stomach.
Ms. Khalifa’s gimmick as a porn actress was stressing her Arab heritage (she is originally from Lebanon) and she started out some of her videos appearing in a hijab headscarf.
Deception Wearing the Mask of Truth
2 replies
For Joe Biden/Kamala Harris devotees, the 2020 ubiquitous election lawn signs in my neighborhood read “Truth Hope Decency.” (snip) Yet the substance of decency has eluded Joe Biden and his Democrat handlers, ushering instead a new era of grotesque depravities, where at the top Biden/Harris have endorsed, supported, and invited the unrestrained abject horror of drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and human trafficking via a deliberately porous open southern border, resettling unaccompanied children all across America.

cheap dismissal of Wuhan lab-leak theory 15 replies
It's a little late, but according to the Daily Mail, the media is finally admitting it:
Liberal media reporters and pundits admitted over the weekend they were wrong to dismiss the Wuhan lab leak theory just because it was espoused by former President Donald Trump. (snip) The reporters and commentators who did this weren't reporting news, they were advancing a political "narrative," acting like the 27 year-old reporters who know "nothing," as Obama-era spinmeister Ben Rhodes once contemptuously said of them. They were boobs in the service of charlatans, and yes, they do have egg all over their faces.
Listen up, proles: your failure to unquestioningly obey the useless mask mandate is going to cost you. The surge in passenger misbehavior on airlines, partially attributable to mask mandate resistance, is ending steerage class passengers their access to intoxicants while airborne. American Airlines has announced that it:
…will delay selling alcoholic beverages this summer to main cabin passengers due to the uptick in bad passenger behavior in recent months that includes refusing to wear masks (snip) Ruling class members can relax, though. Those who can come up with the money for business and first class seats apparently are exempt from the booze ban
Biden vs. Alzheimers
19 replies
In the week leading up to Memorial Day 2021, President Biden made a number of incredibly stupid remarks. (snip) at Cuyahoga Community College in Ohio, Biden ran into his usual problem with grade school arithmetic by being unable to manipulate two-digit whole numbers, saying, “As my mother would say, ‘Who died and left them boss?’ (laughter). Well, I'm serious about it. Now, so you got over 50% (of corporate profits) goin' to stock buy-backs, and the other percent, I think it's 42% -- ah, g-g-let me see, 56 -- it's, forty uh-h-h -- no; it's 38%, goes, to, um, dividends...”
In 251 A.D., a young woman resisted the sexual advances of Quintian, a Roman proconsul. Her resistance cost her a sentence in a local brothel and, eventually, her life. Before she died, she was subjected to tortures that included having her breasts torn off by pinchers. (snip) We are speaking of the recently appointed bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran church, Megan Rohrer. Rohrer, who identifies with the trans movement, has had her breasts surgically removed and now wishes to be referred to with the preferred pronouns "they" and "them."
Female Is A Fact

Humans have 23 pairs (46 total) of chromosomes in each cell. Gametes, the sperm and egg cells, each have 23 chromosomes. (snip) Our biological gender is determined at conception, depending on whether the sperm that fertilizes the egg contains an X or a Y chromosome. Everything biological about us is determined at that point, and only awaits the appropriate time to be expressed. Sexual structures in the body can be initially observed at about six weeks, with development complete at 13 weeks of gestation. Maturation of sexual characteristics is completed during puberty. We continue to change throughout our lives. Truly we are wonderfully and fearfully made.

The 'Fourth Turning Crisis' Has Arrived

Sweeping social transformations occur during times of crisis. We are in such a predicament now, and transformative change may be coming to America whether we want it or not. (snip) consider the staggering debt and economic collapse that is looming. Confrontation and possible war with China is looming as well. The pandemic has and is still wreaking havoc on our way of life. Big Tech and Big Media are restricting free speech and fixing elections with the compliance of the administrative state in Washington. The border is being overrun. Schools no longer teach our history or what it is to be an American.

More than 75 years after the conclusion of World War Two, one third of Americans are questioning the country's decision to send troops into battle.A new Economist/YouGov poll suggests that doubters believe it to be a mistake or are unsure if it was the right decision. The poll, which was timed to coincide with Memorial Day, asked people for their opinions were on the decision to send American troops to fight in particular wars. (Photos) The question was asked: 'Do you think the United States made a mistake sending troops to fight in the following wars?' The poll considered conflicts spread over more than 100 years including both
More and more fights breaking out on airplanes. Why? The short answer is that wearing masks to protect against COVID-19 remains a politically divisive statement.

Americans should be coming together in celebration of declining coronavirus infections this Memorial Day.
Instead, the bursts of public violence and hate reflect deep political division.
Manhattan’s Billionaires’ Row will soon feature a men’s homeless shelter smack-bang in the middle of it despite a three-year offensive to halt its creation by members of the city’s elite, the New York Court of Appeals has ruled. Residents of the city’s priciest street fought tooth and nail to halt Mayor de Blasio’s $60.8 million plan to open a 150-bed men’s shelter in the closed Park Savoy Hotel at 158 W. 58th St., arguing the location would be a dangerous “firetrap” and that crime would inevitably ensue on the ritzy block. The West 58th Street Coalition, which brought the 2018 suit, had challenged
Liberal media reporters and pundits admitted over the weekend they were wrong to dismiss the Wuhan lab leak theory just because it was espoused by former President Donald Trump.Mainstream reporters had pushed back at the idea that COVID-19 may have originated in a virology lab in Wuhan, China, and openly ridiculed the idea as Trump spoke openly about it in the early days of the pandemic. But now, those same reporters have admitted that it is possible that the virus came from a lab leak — as more scientists and political officials openly question the virus' origins.'I think a lot of people have egg on their face,'

Canceled After Survivors Demand
$1 Million Each to Appear 32 replies
An event to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre was suddenly canceled after the three surviving victims demanded $1 million to appear and $50 million donated to a reparations fund.
Singer John Legend was to host the event with the keynote address given by Georgia race activist Stacey Abrams. Other events associated with the commemoration will proceed as scheduled and Joe Biden will be in Tulsa on Tuesday.
Attorneys representing the survivors had originally agreed to a $100,000 appearance fee for each survivor and $2 million in reparations.

A voting bill in Texas that was on the verge of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's desk failed to pass Sunday night after Democrats walked out of the House chamber before a midnight deadline.The bill known as Senate Bill 7 would have imposed a raft of changes that Republicans in the state see as a sensible approach to securing election integrity.It would eliminate drive-thru voting, empower partisan poll watchers and impose new requirements in order to cast a ballot by mail in Texas. But about two hours before a midnight deadline to pass the bill, Democrats began filing out of the chamber in greater and greater numbers, denying Republicans the quorum

‘Growing Violent Extremism
Movement’ Spreading The
‘Big Lie’ That Trump Won 29 replies
Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “we have a growing violent extremism movement in the United States” spreading “the big lie” that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election.
When asked about a 1/6 commission, Crow said, “The question now is of timing. If Mitch McConnell said we’ll take another vote on this, I think the question for Speaker Pelosi and Chuck Schumer is, do we believe him that this will be a vote in good faith? We had 54 votes on Friday. We think there were a couple more people who would have voted had they been present.
Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has threatened to veto the state legislature's budget after Democrats blocked the GOP's new voting rights bill by walking out of the House chamber in the middle of the night.'I will veto Article 10 of the budget passed by the legislature. Article 10 funds the legislative branch. No pay for those who abandon their responsibilities. Stay tuned', Abbott tweeted on Monday. He made the announcement after the Democrats staged the dramatic walkout pass Sunday night that stopped the new bill from reaching his desk for approval. Ted Cruz also urged Texas legislators to hold a special session to pass the new bill
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) would likely be among the first to admit that he's not the most popular name in Republican circles these days, but that doesn't mean his successful bid for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012 can't serve as a template for future contenders. The Republican Party's 2024 picture is muddled. The consensus seems to be that until former President Donald Trump makes it clear whether he'll run, potential candidates will lay low. One way they can do that and still make some headway if they do ultimately enter the scrum is to get involved with 2022 House
