Herschel Walker Shines For Conservativism
At Save America Rally
Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/28/2021 12:24:12 AM
Former University of Georgia and National Football League star Herschel Walker is fast becoming one of the leading ball-carriers for the conservative movement. He appeared in Perry, Ga., Saturday with former President Donald Trump and other conservatives at a “Save America” rally. It only makes sense for Americans to support conservative ideals, Walker told the fired-up audience: "People always ask me what qualifies me to run for this office, and I said, 'Well you’re right, I’m an American.’" The former Heisman Trophy winner said being conservative is just part of being an American. He had the crowd firmly with him, as people chanted “run, Herschel, run:”

Amid the partisan battles ensuing in Congress over the two pending legislative reconciliation and infrastructure packages, moderate Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, on whom the advancement of the $3.5 trillion social spending bill depends, has hammered home his opposition to it.
In a statement released Wednesday, the West Virginia senator reiterated his firm opinion, that he claims he’s repeated to Democratic leaders and President Biden ad nauseam, that he refuses to endorse expanding government programs of the magnitude that progressive House Democrats are proposing. “We can’t even pay for the essential social programs, like Social Security and Medicare,” he said.
Such an astronomical bill, which is supposed to provide for childcare, healthcare
What does a washed-up political strategist do when his network television political commentator gig runs out? If that person is Matthew Dowd, he decides to run for Lt. Governor of Texas. He is the latest in a string of former Bushies who have shown their true colors and are now active Democrats.
To be fair, Dowd was always a Democrat in Texas. He worked for Bob Bullock, the last Democrat elected in 1994 as Texas lieutenant governor. George W. had a good working relationship with Bullock during his time as governor. Bush frequently spoke of that friendship, proud to be able to work with Democrats in Texas.
The social media giant YouTube will begin banning content it deems “anti-vaccine,” claiming that sowing skepticism about the coronavirus vaccine has led to reduced vaccination rates across the country.
“Misinformation researchers” have claimed for years that vaccine skepticism on YouTube was leading to reduced vaccination rates not only for COVID-19 vaccines but for childhood disease vaccines as well. But YouTube has resisted targeting anti-vax skeptics, saying that maintaining a relatively open platform was a free speech issue.
But the social media company has come under increasing threat from government regulators
Reading the Tea Leaves in Virginia

Last night Virginina watched a debate between former Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe, who is trying for a second turn in office (Virginia has a single-term limit, but you are still eligible to run again after another governor serves), and Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin. Polls show it to be a close race.
I’ve never thought McAuliffe an especially talented politician, and he let fly with two howlers in the debate, captured in these two tweets: Yes—he really said both of these things. (Sorry Bill, old pal—you’re not the “leading conservative” in America any more; only in the Potemkin Village constructed in the minds of liberals.)
But there was one other more subtle point.

Eric Adams, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York, vowed recently that he would “create an environment for growth”—starting with public safety. “The prerequisite to prosperity is safety,” Adams declared. This week, he rolled out a plan to convert hotels to housing in order to tackle the city’s cost-of-living and homelessness crises.
With these moves, Adams follows the preferences of those he seeks to represent. New Yorkers are deeply concerned about the cost of living and crime, according to a new survey of America’s 20 fastest-growing metros conducted by the Manhattan Institute and Echelon Insights. Roughly three in four New Yorkers say
Vice President Kamala Harris applauded a student who accused Israel of “ethnic genocide” and who expressed “hurt” at the U.S.’ decision to fund the Iron Dome missile defense system.
Harris responded she was “glad” the student expressed her concerns.
The George Mason University student, who explicitly said she was “not an American” and despite her American accent, identified herself as part-Yemeni, part-Iranian, said that nevertheless America affects her life “every day” over its policy of funding Saudi Arabia and Israel.

President Biden’s $3.5 trillion reconciliation package is “deeply unpopular” in House swing districts across the nation, according to an American Action Network poll released Wednesday.
The poll sampled 400 respondents in three House districts, where embattled Reps. Cindy Axne (D-IA), Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) and Elaine Luria (D-VA) are incumbents. Respondents were asked the following question:
As you may know, President Biden and the Democrats in Congress have proposed a $3.5 trillion bill that they say would strengthen the social safety net, invest in climate policy, expand Medicare, childcare and paid leave, create universal pre-K and make incentives for green energy adoption. Knowing this,
Japan to lift all COVID restrictions
9 replies
Anyone who followed the saga of Japan’s journey through both the COVID plague and the country’s disastrous efforts to host the Olympic Games is probably already aware that many restrictions were placed on both citizens and visitors while the Delta variant spread across their islands. The nation’s initial efforts in June and July to establish mass vaccination centers failed repeatedly due to both a problem in obtaining a sufficient number of doses and logistical nightmares encountered in trying to vaccinate such a widely distributed population. This led to the political impacts
There are lots of moving parts to the Democrats’ struggle to spend trillions of dollars via bipartisan infrastructure legislation and Democrat-only-backed reconciliation. The debt ceiling has now been thrown into the mix for good measure. This piece in the Washington Post does a good job describing the Democrats quandary.
It simplifies things considerably if one starts from the reality we have emphasized throughout — Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are in total control of what can and cannot be enacted through reciliation. For purposes of a reconciliation package, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.
Recognizing this reality, belatedly it seems to me, Joe Biden spent
Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan is in big trouble, as we have been reporting.
The progressives and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are desperate to pass it, even at the risk of the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has even said that they should not pass the infrastructure bill first, as Pelosi would like on Thursday because they will lose their leverage on getting the Build Back Better budget reconciliation plan through.
Meanwhile, the moderate Democrats think the infrastructure bill is what’s critical. They’re not as sold on the Build Back Better bill. Indeed, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) already said if the infrastructure bill wasn’t passed by yesterday
The Democrat Civil War has been hot for a while now, with the far-left progressive wing and more moderate wing going at each other over the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. Sen. Joe Manchin has been the face of the resistance, so to speak, but he’s hardly alone, with a sizable number of of his colleagues objecting on the House side of things.
And just as I predicted almost two months ago, Rep. Nancy Pelosi has painted her party in a corner — and there seems to be no way to reconcile the two sides in short order. A vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill already failed to materialize yesterday,

COVID Hospitalization Risks: Is the Media
to Blame? 7 replies
A new Gallup poll shows that when it comes to COVID risks, a lot of Americans have no idea what’s going on.
The poll, involving 3,158 adult Americans, tells us that 41% of Democrats believe the unvaccinated have a 50% chance of being hospitalized because of COVID. Independents believe the correct number is 26%, while Republicans came in at 22%. The correct answer: Fewer than 1% of unvaccinated people infected with COVID will have to go to the hospital. While Republicans were more likely to overestimate the risk of vaccinated COVID patients being admitted to a hospital, both groups are off by a mile.

Two of the U.S.’ top military commanders, and the nation’s top Pentagon official, affirmed on Capitol Hill Tuesday that President Biden was advised to leave at least 2,500 troops in Afghanistan to prevent the Taliban from overrunning the Afghan army — directly contradicting what Biden told ABC News in an interview after the pullout.During their testimony, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley and Gen. Frank McKenzie were pressed on Biden’s decision to fully withdraw, and specifically asked if they recommended the president leave any troops in Afghanistan following Aug. 31.
In an interview with “Good Morning America” on Tuesday, former President Barack Obama commented on the border crisis in Del Rio, Texas.
Obama stated that the crisis at the Del Rio border is “heartbreaking” and that the system, overall, “is dysfunctional.”
“It’s the reason I proposed comprehensive immigration reform. It’s the reason Joe Biden proposed it during his administration, and it’s something that is long overdue,” Obama stated, according to GMA.
The former president went on to say the situation at Del Rio is a reminder that more work needs to be done and that President Biden understands the situation better than anyone.
“As big-hearted as he is,
“So Trump was right.” Thus begins a broadside in the Sunday Times that amounts to a clarion call for the world: America’s president came to power in an election that was “rigged.”“The American public is slowly waking up to the fact that they are being led by an ineffectually devious, senile halfwit,” Rob Liddle writes. “Donald Trump is back in the lead in the opinion polls. Imagine how awful a president must be if people would rather that sack of meat with mittens were back in charge.”“Soon the public will wake up to something even more unpleasant and sinister: that the last presidential election was a fraud,
Daniel Craig looked uncharacteristically speechless on Tuesday evening as he marveled at the Duchess of Cambridge and her stunning Jenny Packham gown at the premiere of his final James Bond film, No Time To Die, kindly telling Kate: 'You look jolly lovely!'The actor chatted to Kate and husband Prince William at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Tuesday, with the Duke and Duchess joining a host of stars at the much delayed event. William and Kate arrived first to the premiere and were driven down the red carpet in a fleet of Range Rovers past one of the famous Aston Martin cars from the film,
As we previously reported, Joe Biden is going all-in with this ridiculous claim, suddenly, that his $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill costs “zero dollars.” He wasn’t alone in trying to push this claim. As we pointed out, he had Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) parroting the claim. Now, other Democrats have jumped aboard the narrative train including Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), the head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) signed on board as well. Here’s White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki trying to sell the same claim. But, of course, what would a Democratic agenda narrative be without help from their buddies
Katie Couric spares few from criticism in her new memoir, which she uses to settle scores from her four decades in TV, DailyMail.com can reveal.Over 500 pages in length, Couric tears into ex-boyfriends, former colleagues at NBC and CBS and ridicules A-list celebrities including Prince Harry.In 'Going There', Couric admits that she gave Ashleigh Banfield the cold shoulder early in her career because helping her would have been 'self sabotage'.She rips into Deborah Norville, who she replaced on the TODAY Show, for having a 'relentless perfection' which turned off morning show viewers.
Russian President Vladimir Putin brought an 'attractive' translator with him to distract former President Donald Trump at their 2019 meeting - and Trump told Putin he would act tough in front of the cameras and then play nice privately, former White House official Stephanie Grisham reveals in her forthcoming tell-all. 'OK, I'm going to act a little tougher with you for a few minutes. But it's for the cameras, and after they leave, we'll talk. You understand,' Trump had told Putin when they met in June 2019 in Japan at the G20, Grisham recounted. Copies of Grisham's book -
The Hill, which often serves as a mouthpiece for Democrat press releases, has written an article stating that “Democrats see Harris as a major player in midterms.” When it comes to Harris’s moribund reputation, Dems want us to think of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead but saving Harris is more like Mel Brook’s Young Frankenstein and “Abby Normal’s brain.” Kamala’s lack of national viability made itself known during the Democrat primaries in 2019 when Harris dropped out without even breaking the 4% barrier in the polls and with zero delegates.
A university in Washington has created segregated housing specifically for Black students. Western Washington University has designated the fourth floor of Alma Clark Glass Hall as housing reserved for its "Black Affinity Housing program," becoming the latest school to adopt such a program. "The program will explore and celebrate the diversity of Black and African American people and culture, with historical and contemporary context," the program website reads, also saying that all "Western students residing in the program help foster a warm and vibrant community supporting social, personal and academic success." "Black Affinity Housing residents, representing all diverse identities, pride themselves on fostering a sense of belonging
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley got into a heated exchange with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) over the advice he gave President Biden on troop levels in Afghanistan – with Milley rejecting the idea he should resign over policy differences. Milley, who holds degrees from Princeton, Columbia, and the Navy War College, and who commanded international forces in Afghanistan, bristled at the idea – even as he essentially confirmed he advised Biden against a withdrawal of all US troops from the country.'I understand that you're the principle military advisor. That you advise. You don't decide, the president decides.
The 'F*** Joe Biden' Chant Is EVERYWHERE

Joe Biden is the worst president we’ve had since the last worst president we had: Barack Obama, who was the worst president since Jimmy Carter. It has escaped no one’s notice.
Covid lockdowns and mandates; the destructive, inhumane, callow, disgusting bug-out of Afghanistan; generational theft-level spending; and tyrannical diktats have touched everyone – except Hollywood and D.C., naturally.
Turn that flag upside down, Australia here we come.
Where people have been “allowed” to congregate they have made their disgust with Joe Biden well known in the coarsest and unsociable of ways – and they’ve been cheered for it!
Nearly everywhere you look, people in large groups and small are chanting “F*** Joe Biden!”
During his campaign for the Presidential Elections 2020 Joe Biden left some Twitter users queasy after a clip from the campaign trail showed him discussing children playing with his leg hair.
During the campaign speech, Biden, 77, described how children used to play with his blond leg hairs in the swimming pool while telling a story about his time working as a lifeguard.
Well, with that disgusting video we found out about Joe’s hairy legs but it seems that at least his hands appear to look less hairy back in January when he got his first vaccine shot.
