Colombia's election: How could the voters
be so stupid?
Posted By: PageTurner, 6/21/2022 11:33:50 AM
Colombia, which is America's strongest ally, has always had the most level-headed voters in the region. They've had two conservative parties, sometimes at once, and voters there have always rejected the crazy left, which in their case, is a Castro-grade revolutionary crazy grade of left, with Bill Ayers-types on steroids. They did, after all, fight a 60-year war against Marxist narcoterrorists, with only a few university wokesters defending them. So it was shocking news that on Sunday, Colombians went and elected just about the worst leftist of this stripe, a former M-19 narcoguerrilla named Gustavo Petro, president, turning one of the most conservative countries

NORWAY -- The Norwegian security service PST has raised its terror alert to the highest level after a mass shooting left 2 people dead and many wounded during Pride week in Oslo.
Acting PST chief Roger Berg called the shootings an "extreme Islamist terror act." He said the gunman, who was arrested shortly after the shootings, had a "long history of violence and threats." THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. (Snip)
OSLO, Norway (AP) - A gunman opened fire in Oslo's night-life district early Saturday, killing two people and leaving 10 seriously wounded in what police are investigating as a possible terrorist attack during the Norwegian capital's annual Pride festival.
Who says crime doesn't pay?
When you can cross the border illegally, and not only be allowed to stay here, collect big benefits, and actually be allowed to apply for citizenship as a reward for your lawbreaking, why wouldn't you come without papers instead of come the legal way? You'd be a fool not to. Applying legally and waiting years for entry at great personal expense with no adjacent benefits is a fool's errand, given the Biden administration's current policies.
That's the shocking reality revealed in a report from the Washington Examiner showing that the Biden administration is now .... ever so quietly ... dropping charges against tens of thousands
He stole it once, and got away with it...
Why wouldn't he do it again?
Which is the unfortunate conclusion from Mollie Hemingway in a new report in The Federalist.
Joe Biden has a new plan to rig and steal the midterms. He's not only doing it now, he's been working on it for a while. Hemingway notes that it probably isn't legal, given that the executive branch has no right to get involved with elections. As a result, Biden and his Democrats are really determined to keep news of its basic details from the public:
President Biden really does not want the public to know about his federal takeover of election administration.
Colombia, which is America's strongest ally, has always had the most level-headed voters in the region.

Joe Biden, as his party propaganda and media enablers say, is a man of compassion.
And he's now loaded with such compassion with remarks like this, addressing his own unpopularity with the American people. (Snip for tweet) Heres what he actually told the Associated Press in his interview with them:
AP: What’s that paradox? BIDEN: Well, I think the paradox is, part of it is, I think what, the failure of the last administration to act on COVID had a profound impact on the number of people who got COVID and the number of people who died. Now here’s what I’m, I think Vivek Murthy is right and most of the international
The Biden administration was left with egg all over its face when, after embracing a phony leftist narrative about Border Patrol agents "whipping" migrants illegally crossing into the U.S., it quietly dropped the matter and hoped no one would notice.
They should have apologized to the agents.
Instead, they're coming for the agents a second time.
According to Fox News:
The Department of Homeland Security is preparing to discipline "multiple" horseback Border Patrol agents involved in the infamous "whipping" incident of Haitian migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border back in September.
A federal source told Fox News an announcement on the matter is expected within the coming days.
Joe Biden is either stupid, or thinks you're stupid.
Because how else does anyone explain a speech like this, to the supposed working stiffs to the AFL-CIO Tuesday? (Snip for tweet). No more lies about reckless spending? Here's the whole thing. (Snip for tweet). There's plenty to dislike about this, from the 1940s proletarian vernacular to the heaping helping of old hokey Irish Catholic gesturing, as if the abortion president were actually Catholic and not a guy who plays one on T.V. for political benefit.
The worst thing about it though was his incessant mockery of his runaway federal spending
Rep. Liz Cheney, who will likely be booted from office in November, has put on quite a swan song amounting to her signature achievement, which is her "Get Trump" Jan. 6 hearings.
Just one problem:
The public isn't buying it.
According to Terry Jones at Issues & Insights, citing a reliable I&I/TIPP poll:
Fewer than half of all Americans are convinced that the Democrats’ Jan. 6 Commission is making an honest attempt at discovering the truth about the mostly peaceful political demonstrations that took place on Capitol Hill that day, the latest data from the I&I/TIPP Poll show.
Joe Biden's Homeland Security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, whose open-borders policies have created Swiss-cheese loopholes for virtually everyone in the world who wants to come here outside the immigration process, apparently didn't even follow his own lax policy directives.
Which is why he lost yet another lawsuit brought on by the states of Texas and Louisiana about the law requiring him to deport illegal aliens convicted of felonies serious enough to land them in prison. A federal judge jumped down his thoat with a 96-page ruling.
According to Fox News:
Joe Biden couldn't care less about Latin America, hasn't visited the place, hasn't visited even the border to the place, and now has a monster 15,000-strong migrant caravan heading to the U.S. which he will undoubtedly bow to, and let in.
But here he was, host at the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles, and his lack of preparation pretty well made him, and America, beggars to the hemisphere's locals.
And sure enough, it was accompanied by the stench of urine from the nearby bums populating blue Los Angeles, which made the picture complete.
Start with the earliest controversy -- the invitation list.

The inflation report came in, and once again, it was worse than the last one.
According to the front-pager at the New York Post:
White-hot inflation has forced the average American household to cough up an extra $460 per month, as surging prices for food and fuel put family budgets across the nation under strain.
Moody’s Analytics senior economist Ryan Sweet calculated the figure based on data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that showed the Consumer Price Index had jumped 8.6% in the 12-month period ending May 31 – the largest increase since December 1981.

Felicia Sonmez's huge meltdown

The Washington Post has turned itself into a national laughingstock as employees reveal themselves to be little more than immature high schoolers out backbiting at one another, some of whom do indeed seem bi-polar.
The Post said 'enough' in the case of national politics reporter Felicia Sonmez, who, got colleague Dave Weigel suspended after he retweeted a stupid sexist tweet about women being either bipolar or bisexual, which was followed by spats with various colleagues who told her to take it easy, and then a companywide corporate memo written by executive editor Sally Buzbee ordering employees to play nice with other employees. Instead of cutting off the ranting right there

Celebrities reacted to the decision via social media with Alyssa Milano saying it will have "deadly consequences" and Elizabeth Banks calling it "devastating news."

"Banning abortion will disproportionately impact people of color, LGBTQ+ communities, people struggling to make ends meet, young people, and those living in rural areas."
Anyone who though the nation’s biggest sports store was going to sit out one of America’s most contentious moments doesn’t know Dick’s.

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.
Why? Well, Drag Queen Story Hour might be enough to propel Trump to a victory, according to Maher.
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.

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.
