Democratic Congressman Tells GOP to Pass
a Bill Removing the Statue of Liberty
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 1/19/2024 1:05:07 PM
I predict that freshman Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) will have a long, illustrious career in politics. He certainly has a flair for the dramatic and is very big on "gestures." This is a prerequisite to be a Democrat in Washington. After all, how else can you show that you really, really, really care about an issue without making some absolutely ludicrously, useless melodramatic gesture? Mr. Fox shows promise in this regard. He's demanding that Republicans introduce a bill to take down the Statue of Liberty. Say what? Apparently, the GOP-passed H.R. 2 that would severely limit asylum claims and restart construction on the border wall is "anti-immigrant"...or something.

Henry Agard Wallace, the 33rd vice president of the United States, was a peculiar fellow.
He didn’t drink, smoke or swear.
He didn’t like telling jokes, reading fiction or playing golf. In fact, he hated any pursuit in which he could discern no scope for self-improvement.
While highly intelligent, Wallace struggled in social situations, as author Benn Steil explains in “The World That Wasn’t: Henry Wallace and the Fate of The American Century” (Avid Reader Press).
Steil believes Wallace actually had Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism spectrum disorder first highlighted by Austrian physician Hans Asperger in 1944 — Wallace’s final year as vice president.
An American Airlines flight attendant was arrested Thursday after he allegedly recorded multiple young girls with a hidden camera as they used bathrooms aboard flights he was working.
Estes Carter Thompson III, 36, was caught redhanded in September by a 14-year-old girl he attempted to secretly film in a plane restroom — which set off a federal probe that revealed videos of four prior victims.
Thompson allegedly possessed recordings of four minor female passengers — as young as 7 — using the bathroom aboard aircraft he had worked on previously, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts announced on Thursday.
American travelers are outraged by signs appearing at US airports appearing to allow migrants onto flights without showing proper identification.
US citizens traveling domestically have to show a valid identification card or a passport to board a plane, but signs at certain airports say there are different rules for some newly arrived migrants.
The signs claim the Transport Security Administration is working with Customs and Border Protection to “validate adult non-US citizen travel documentation when the traveler does not otherwise have an acceptable form of identification.”
CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger said Friday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360°” that it was “pretty disheartening” that former President Donald Trump is showing momentum in the 2024 Republican presidential nomination race.
Discussing the news that former Republican candidate Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) will endorse Trump ahead of the New Hampshire primary, Kinzinger said, “I never expected this from Tim. I know him as a decent man, somebody concerned about character. He chose to put himself and his political career above others.”
He continued, “Nikki Haley appointed Tim Scott to the Senate. She made him a U.S. Senator where he could then become a national figure

White House Easter Egg Contest for National

Jill Biden is sponsoring a White House “Youth Art” Easter egg decorating contest for children of National Guard servicemembers that bans religious themed eggs, even though Easter is a religious holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ–and the contest announcement states the eggs will be displayed during the Christian and Jewish observances of Easter and Passover.
The youth artists are encouraged to submit designs that reflect their daily lives as children of servicemembers but may not feature “religious symbols, overtly religious themes.” The contest rules state entries “must be consistent with the image and values of Sponsor”, Jill Biden.
Joe Biden on Friday welcomed mayors attending the US Conference of Mayors Winter Meeting to the East Room at the White House.
Biden incoherently slurred his way through a speech to the mayors. He also started shouting out of nowhere.
WATCH: [video]
At one point Biden threatened millions of Trump supporters, but he bungled that too.
(snip)
Biden also gave some creepy marriage advice.
“I tell every young man that’s telling me, ‘I’m thinking of getting married. You have any advice?’ I said, ‘Yeah, pick a family with five sisters or more,'” Biden said slurring his words. “That way one of them always loves you!”
They're not sending their best.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested an illegal alien accused of committing child sex crimes in northern Virginia. This latest arrest adds to the growing number of recent ICE apprehensions in the residential DMV area.
Deportation officers with Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Washington, D.C.'s Mobile Criminal Apprehension Team apprehended a 27-year-old Guatemalan national charged with crimes related to soliciting a young child and indecent exposure.
Federal authorities arrested the illegal on Jan. 3 at his residence in Falls Church, Virginia, after he was presumably let out on bail.
"This undocumented Guatemalan national posed a significant threat to minors in our Virginia communities,"
It’s a brazen act that can only be explained due to changing attitudes about crime and public safety. A woman is caught intentionally running over a NYPD officer. On January 17, Sahara Dula is seen plowing over a cop reportedly trying to stop her from driving in the wrong direction. Based on court documents, Dula admitted to hitting the officer, channeling the usual ‘f**k the police’ vibe. She hoped her assault would make the officer, who is black, rethink his employment with the NYPD. She also said she smoked marijuana before getting behind the wheel (via NBC New York): [Tweet, video]
The incident occurred near East 71st Street on Park Avenue

As RedState previously reported, Joe Biden was in North Carolina on Thursday to tout millions of dollars in high-speed Internet investments that he claimed will "connect 16,000 additional homes and businesses, bringing high-speed Internet all across the state of North Carolina."

As we also reported, Biden's penchant for confusion showed no signs of letting up, as evidenced when he called out for a Democratic Congresswoman whom he said he'd taken a photo with earlier but who in reality was actually in Washington, D.C. He also declared at the community center event he was speaking at that he'd created "440 new jobs in North Carolina alone just since I came into office!"
Maine’s Democrat secretary of state, Shenna Bellows, is so determined to promote “trust in our free, safe and secure elections” that she wants to make sure voters in the state aren’t allowed to vote for the leading GOP contender, former President Donald Trump.
After Trump appealed Bellows' unilateral decision to keep his name off the Republican primary ballot, Superior Court Judge Michaela Murphy called for a hold on her decision while the nation waits for the Supreme Court to weigh in on a similar situation in Colorado.
Waiting for the nation’s top court to render judgment was just too inconvenient for Bellows,
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) eviscerated Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) on Thursday after Durbin accused Cruz of "prejudicial treatment" and “bigotry” for opposing the nomination of Adeel Mangi, Joe Biden’s judicial nominee for a U.S. Circuit Judge position in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in New Jersey, and hiding behind a statement for the left-leaning Anti-Defamation League while doing so.
“You have just impugned my character by making a false accusation, and I will say it is disgraceful!” Cruz told Durbin on Thursday. “Did you respond to any of the substance of what I said? No! You just attacked me and called me a bigot,
As Cristina Laila reported earlier – President Trump appeared in court on Wednesday as E. Jean Carroll testified in a trial where the jury will decide how much Trump has to pay for his so-called ‘defamatory’ statements about her.
Judge Lewis Kaplan, a Clinton appointee, previously ruled that Trump is liable for defamatory statements he made about E. Jean Carroll after she accused him of rape.
In 2019, E. Jean Carroll alleged Donald Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s.
Trump has denied the allegations and called E. Jean Carroll a “whack job” who’s “not my type.”

Any evaluation of the Biden administration's policy towards the Iranian regime (and towards the Palestinians) reveals a failure: the deadly Western miscalculation that "being nice" will be reciprocated. In the culture of the Middle East, that simply does not work. Instead, one is looked on as a gullible sucker or juicy "mark," like a jolly drunk at a strip club.
As Osama bin Laden pointed out, especially for his region, "When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature they will like the strong horse."
Former U.S. Army General Jack Keane recently noted that many possible targets are already on "the list"
Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that “American democracy could end with the election” of former President Donald Trump.
Holder said, “I think a second Trump term, and this is something voters need to keep in mind, a second Trump term would have a politicized, weaponized United States Department of Justice.” He continued, “You have to look at what it is they’re talking about. That is the Trump campaign, the former president himself and think of the America they’re trying to create. You would have a president who is beyond the reach of the law,
Republican presidential contender Nikki Haley ruled out the possibility of serving as vice president in comments to New Hampshire voters on Friday, amid speculation that former president Donald Trump might tap Haley to balance out his ticket if her own presidential ambitions don’t pan out.
“I’ve said from the very beginning: I don’t play for second. I don’t want to be anybody’s vice president. That is off the table,” Haley told diners at a restaurant in Amherst, New Hampshire, according to a Politico reporter who overheard the comments.
The former U.N. ambassador’s presidential campaign has been dogged in recent weeks by questions about her willingness to serve
Boy howdy… when things get interesting, they REALLY get interesting. In an effort to deflect attention from the gross corruption she initiated in the prosecution of Donald Trump, Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis stepped into the middle of a contentious divorce between Willis’s married lover and appointed Special Prosecutor, Nathan Wade, and his wife, Joycelyn Wade. After discovering details of the relationship between Nathan Wade and Fani Willis, lawyers representing Mrs. Joycelyn Wade wanted a deposition of Fani Willis. At issue are the finances in the marriage and Mrs. Wade’s discovery that her husband, Nathan Wade,

The intrigue over who Donald Trump will pick to be his vice president on the 2024 Republican ticket he's presumed to be leading is growing. A recent report placed Rep. Elise Stefanik, a moderate House member from New York, near the top of the list. Then there's Nikki Haley, who has reportedly been under consideration for a while, even as she remains in the primary race. On that front, when the Trump campaign had a chance to put the Nikki Haley issue to bed once and for all, they chose not to, instead only ruling out Vivek Ramaswamy.
What that says is that the former president's closest advisors

Why is Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) tasked with delivering the attack lines or mounting any defense of this administration’s policies? The man, who doesn’t need this job as an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, cannot do anything right. He was lead counsel in the first Trump impeachment effort before his election to Congress. He failed. Now, this man decides to pick a fight with Josephine Dunn, who lost her daughter to the ongoing fentanyl crisis, during an impeachment hearing for DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. [Tweet, video]
Goldman’s question time dismissed Ms. Dunn, saying her remarks were essentially irrelevant to these proceedings.

to ‘Break’ Denver Hospital System,
CEO Says 25 replies
A hospital system in Denver warned local lawmakers this week that it is on the brink of collapse due to financial pressures created by the migrant crisis.
Denver Health recorded some 20,000 visits from 8,000 Central American migrants in 2023 for everything from dental emergencies to mental health counseling, according to the Denver Post.
Denver estimates more than 36,000 illegal immigrants, most of whom are Venezuelan, have arrived in the city since December 2022. Roughly half of those migrants have decided to put down roots in the city.
The influx created a $2 million loss for the hospital system last year, following a $35 million loss
Attorney General Merrick Garland asserted in an interview Friday that former President Donald Trump’s trial in special counsel Jack Smith’s case against him should be quick as the 2024 presidential election approaches.
Smith has repeatedly endeavored to speed up the timeline of the case in order to maintain the scheduled March 4 trial date. Garland said he is in agreement with Smith about accelerating the trial in the interview with CNN justice correspondent Evan Perez on “CNN This Morning.” (snip) “Special prosecutors followed the facts and the law,” Garland responded to a question about whether the case should have been brought sooner. “They brought cases when they thought they were ready.”
Pope Francis has urged members of the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting at Davos this week to promote “far-sighted and ethically sound” models of globalization.
The World Economic Forum “aims to guide and strengthen political will and mutual cooperation,” the pontiff told them, and “provides an important opportunity for multi-stakeholder engagement to explore innovative and effective ways to build a better world.”
The process of globalization has by now “clearly demonstrated the interdependence of the world’s nations and peoples,” the pope said, and thus has “a fundamentally moral dimension.”
The nation’s ruling class holds deeply authoritarian opinions widely divorced from the rest of the American electorate, finds a survey out this week. It found nearly 60 percent of American “elites” think there is too much individual freedom in America. Meanwhile, nearly 60 percent of registered voters have the exact opposite opinion, reporting the United States has too much top-down control, limiting liberty.
The study from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity found ruling class opinions on climate policies were particularly harsh and despotic. More than two-thirds of the 1 percent support rationing vital energy and food sources in an attempt to control the globe’s weather.
