Life Imitates Charlie Brown
Posted By: Imright, 10/6/2023 3:08:37 PM
We’ve all seen the Charlie Brown and Lucy cartoons. Lucy always tries to convince Charlie Brown to kick the football promising she won’t yank the ball away. Inevitably, Charlie Brown agrees. He gets a running start, goes into his kicking motion only to have Lucy snatch the ball away and Charlie goes flying flat on his back. Charlie Brown is the loveable, ignorant dupe who gets suckered every time by the mean, dishonest, deceitful Lucy who loves inflicting harm on others -- making her borderline evil. In politics, life imitates cartoons. This week, Kevin McCarthy, the former Speaker of the House, played the part of Charlie Brown

Trump is expected to mop the floor with the RINOs in the Republican Primary.

Hartford, Conn. (A)—A woman approaches a drop box in the dark with what appears to be handfuls of ballots. At a different drop box, someone else is seen making multiple trips to insert ballots. At yet another, the same car stops on at least three separate occasions, with different people stepping out and heading to the box.
It’s not a trailer for the latest conspiracy movie about rigged elections. Instead, the video footage has become central to a real-world controversy over potential fraud involving ballot drop boxes, a favorite target of right-wing conspiracy theorists since former President Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election.
The accusations of drop box fraud are

Biden’s Chamberlain Moment

This past week marked the 85th anniversary of the Munich Agreement that annexed the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia to Hitler’s Germany. Despite the political murders, the persecution of Jews, the genocidal rhetoric, the fact Germany illegally occupied the Rhineland and annexed Austria less than two years prior, British prime minister Neville Chamberlain, along with French diplomats strong-armed Czechoslovakia into letting Hitler annex the Sudetenland, emboldening Hitler and enabling him to seize the rest of the country six months later. A year afterward, Hitler invaded Poland and World War II started. Refusing to see him as who he was, Chamberlain insisted on dealing with Hitler “in a practical and businesslike manner.”
A September 2021 video of Joe Biden kicking his German Shepherd was making the rounds again this week amid reports Biden’s dog “Commander” bit another Secret Service Agent.
Last week CNN reported Biden’s dog Commander bit another Secret Service agent. This is the 11th known attack by Commander. Commander was ultimately removed from the White House.
Biden’s other German Shepherd “Major” has also repeatedly bit Secret Service Agents.
Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch previously released emails showing that Major bit Secret Service agents on 8 different days in March 2021 before he was sent back to Biden’s Delaware compound.
During MSNBC’s coverage of the Hamas attack on Israel on Saturday, MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin argued that the attacks on Israel are due to “people who have been living in Gaza,” being “blockaded, besieged, decimated economically and politically” and host Ali Velshi stated that Israel’s behavior is “why they voted for Hamas in the first place.”
Mohyeldin stated that “if you do not have some kind of mechanism that delivers justice for Palestinians, you are never going to have peace in the region. That’s what this is about. And I wrap up with a central point about, when we look back at the Oslo Accords, this was supposed to be
During an interview with Newsmax on Saturday, Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) reacted to a since-deleted post from the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs where it reacted to the attack on Israel by Hamas by stating that it condemned the Hamas attack and urged “all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks” by stating that the post “tells me that the administration is not standing up for Israel.”
Tenney stated, “It was egregious for the administration to look as if this was both sides. This is a clear attack from Hamas, sponsored by Iran, against our greatest ally. This is not about Israel…doing anything aggressive. They need to stand up,

With the vast expansion of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, you can bet that there are a lot of agents twiddling their thumbs and trying to figure out something to do with themselves, conscious that only political work, not hard-slog investigation, gets rewarded. So this came out from Newsweek: The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers.
Kamala Harris was recently speaking to Democrats in St. Louis when she launched into a bizarre laughing fit.
At the time, she was talking about the Biden/Harris economic policies, which are obviuously terrible.
Why does she do this? Is it a nervous tic?
RedState reports: People Wonder if Kamala Harris Was High After Hysterical Laughing Fit...Kamala Harris may be the most uninteresting major politician on the scene right now. It’s hard to express how terrible of a politician she is, and somehow, she continually manages to get worse.
Hillary just won’t go away

Hillary Clinton has to be the Rasputin of 21st century American politics. Grigori Rasputin – the “Mad Monk” -- was a Russian religious fanatic who managed to worm his way into the Russian imperial family with a claim that he could alleviate the hemophilia suffered by Tsarevich Alexei. In short order he was exercising personal control over Tsarina Alexandra, the boy’s mother, who in turn influenced the easily-led Tsar Nicholas II. Rasputin’s erratic behavior led to extreme alarm among the Russian nobility. At last, late in December 1916, Prince Yusupov invited Rasputin to his St. Petersburg palace, where Rasputin was fed a lethal dose of poisoned cakes

Have They Gone Mad?

Hillary Clinton last night on CNN said of Trump supporters, “You know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.” This among other things came in the context of a report in Newsweek to the effect that the federal government, and the FBI in particular, has “quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s army of MAGA followers.”
That seems… like a lot of people? In addition to the obvious observation that people like Hillary seem increasingly unmoored from reality, as well as wilfully deaf to the political consequences of their wordsmith

Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that she believed Rep. Jim Jorden (R-OH) was “heavily involved” in what she deemed a “plot” on January 6, 2021.
On Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), commentator Adam Kinzinger said, “He is a true believer, but he truly believes that the Democrats, or the left, is an enemy of America, and he will do anything even extra constitutionally to defeat them.”
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Congresswoman Lofgren, you just heard Congressman Kinzinger’s view of what Jim Jordan thinks about the left. That is you? What do you think?”
Lofgren said, “It is not true.
The Western world awoke Saturday morning to war in Israel, images of Hamas terrorists slaughtering Israeli civilians in the streets, and Hamas rockets raining down on Israeli neighborhoods. Israeli families were (and, as of this writing, still are) fleeing for their lives.
On social media, Hamas posted horrifying videos — a dead, naked Israeli woman being paraded through the streets, plainclothes Hamas fighters slitting the throats of civilians in their cars, and women and children being kidnapped and carried away to a fate worse than death.
The situation is fluid and developing, and there will be much to say in the days and weeks to come —
Denver's liberal government has asked officials at border towns to distribute fliers telling asylum seekers to stay away from the Colorado capital, after 21,000 new migrants arrived this year.
Like various liberal cities like Chicago and NYC, the Mile High city has been struggling with migrants being bused north by conservative governors trying to make a point about what they say are open-border Democratic policies. The city currently has about 2,510 migrants staying in temporary shelters and has spent about $26 million on the crisis.
Matthew Mueller, the executive director for the Office of Emergency Management, has asked officials in Brownsville, El Paso, Houston, and Dallas to let migrants know
Wiping Israel off the Map

At first bomb, it appears that Islamic Jihad and Hamas (and no doubt others) in Gaza have conspired to destroy Israel and wipe her off the map, something they have been threatening to do for ages. They took the first step today in a massive, unprovoked attack on civilian areas inside Israel. More than 2,000 rockets managed to overwhelm Israel’s famous Iron Dome defense. Foaming-at-the-mouth bloodthirsty Jihadis have gone into Israeli neighborhoods and taken dozens of men, women, and children hostage.
Fifty-five Chinese sailors are feared dead after their nuclear submarine apparently got caught in a trap intended to ensnare British sub-surface vessels in the Yellow Sea.
