The Political Castration of Joni Ernst

Original Article

When your opening line is, “I’m Joni Ernst, I grew up castrating hogs on an Iowa farm,” not only do you have our attention — you’ve got us squirming in our seats. (Ouch.) Before the castration spot aired, Ernst was struggling to raise money, trailing Republican frontrunner Mark Jacobs by several points for the GOP nomination. Conservative women — including Sarah Palin — found the ad humorous, endorsed her candidacy, and helped Ernst build her war chest. Within months, she was the undisputed frontrunner. And in 2020, she was elected to her second term in the Senate

Perfect picture of Snake Ernst. As interesting, the X comments at the end of the article. They are threatening to primary her if she doesn’t vote for Pete. They should primary her whether she votes for him or not.

I don't think she can be salvaged. The people with potential who go to Washington and are quickly hypnotized by the fame and glamour and are ultimately drawn into the dark side are weak-minded and might as well paste a "For Sale" sign on their foreheads. Many people who voted for them are apt to recognize the condition. If she thinks she can do better with Defense than a guy who has been there and done that and came back with medals, she is incredibly naive and ignorant. Hegseth is proudly supported by those with whom he served, the most important endorsement of all.

Ernst doesn’t have the deep, political roots into Washington DC that Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Maxine Waters and Chuck Schumer have. Their years of crime, corruption and grift have insulated them from retribution. Ernst doesn’t have the political capital to survive this. Someone should have told her this.

I haven't paid much attention (although I liked her shorter hair style) to Ernst but what exactly is her opposition to Hegseth based on? His so-called drinking problem? Being stalked by a married woman he didn't know when he had a few drinks too many and being taken advantage of? Reverse the roles and many (such as Ernst) would call it rape. And voting for Austin, you are in no position to comment on Hegseth's qualifications.

This past election gave two huge messages to Republican pols: NO MORE RINOS and WE’RE P i ss e d. Ernst lost track of the mood of the country when she bad-mouthed Hegseth, if she ever knew it, She made a yuuuuge mistake. We shall see if she has gotten the message: Trump has a mandate. Whomever he nominates, don’t stand in his way. Ernst is trying to. She will lose big unless she demonstrates full-throated support. So will anyone else on our side who goes against this landslide win..

Lara Trump said she “would 100% consider” replacing Florida Sen. Marco Rubio — who her father-in-law, President-elect Donald Trump, has nominated as his secretary of state — as she announced she is resigning as co-chair of the Republican National Committee. “It is something I would seriously consider,” Lara Trump, 42, told The Associated Press in an interview published Sunday. “If I’m being completely transparent, I don’t know exactly what that would look like. And I certainly want to get all of the information possible if that is something that’s real for me. But yeah, I would 100% consider it.”

As far as Hamas leaders are concerned, the involvement of Iran's other proxies in the Jihad against Israel has been insufficient. Hamas leaders were hoping to see Arab and Muslim armies march on Israel and fulfill their dream of replacing it with a jihadist terror state. They are also aware that Iran wants to use them to expand its control over the Middle East. Iran already occupies three Arab countries – Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen, and until last week, Syria as well – and has brought nothing but death and destruction to the people there.

It’s not easy, because Lavrov has such poised, stable understanding of politics and international law. And he expressed this, not in his native Russian, but in English. He also displayed a level of respect for international power relations, and for America itself, that may leave many wondering which current government is more “American.” As a Russian speaker, and someone who worked in Russia, this is not surprising: The Russian people admire America, and they generally love, and have always yearned for, all things American. There’s no doubt that Russia’s current government puts Russia first. That is their job.

The Syrian government collapsed early Sunday, falling to a lightning rebel offensive that seized control of the capital of Damascus and sent crowds into the streets to celebrate the end of the Assad family’s 50 years of iron rule. Syrian state television aired a video statement by a group of men saying that President Bashar Assad had been overthrown and all prisoners had been set free. The man who read the statement said the opposition group, known as the Operations Room to Conquer Damascus, called on all rebel fighters and citizens to preserve the institutions of “the free Syrian state.”

Eighty-three years after the disastrous sneak attack on Pearl Harbor which galvanized our nation to prepare for a long fight and ultimate victory, we have a clearer picture of how Barack Obama (and through him, President Biden) destroyed his party and with it many of our institutions. We now have a leader and a plan to restore their strength. Much has been written about why the Democrats suffered such a devastating loss in the election, but I’m inclined to place great weight on the views expressed by Adam Mill in Chronicles Magazine who argues persuasively that the Democrats’ decision-making process doomed their chances, a process unlikely to soon change.

Jurors at Daniel Penny’s trial in the caught-on-camera subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely said Friday they’re struggling to reach a verdict on the top charge of manslaughter. Penny’s lawyers have said the Marine veteran and aspiring architect was justified in protecting passengers from a man who witnesses said yelled, “Someone’s going to die today!” and said he was ready to go to jail after boarding the uptown F train. But Manhattan prosecutors have stressed that no witness testified that Neely threatened anyone specifically, touched anyone, or brandished a weapon. Police later found only a muffin in his pocket.

Open borders, abolishing fracking, health care for illegals, higher taxes, and forcing people to buy electric cars are not popular policies, so she had to lie. We are constantly told that James Carville is a very smart Democrat strategist. I have not seen evidence of this intelligence. Throughout the 2024 campaign, Carville watched Kamala and continually said she was going to win. He did not lecture the campaign about how stupid they were.

Daniel Penny has been found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway car in 2023. Penny, 26, pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. The judge dismissed the second-degree manslaughter charge against Penny on Friday after jurors said they could not come to a unanimous decision. The jury could only consider the negligent homicide charge if Penny was cleared of manslaughter, which is what the dismissal did.

A noticeable addition this year saw the seminal scene's baby Jesus draped in a keffiyeh - a traditional scarf used by Palestinians as a national symbol. Jesus was born into a Jewish family in Bethlehem some 2,000 years ago - and his death triggered the birth of Christianity. A statement from the wheelchair-bound pontiff, moreover, saw him humbly ask onlookers for peace in the Middle East, weeks after he called for an investigation into what he said may be a 'genocide' occurring in the Gaza Strip.

President Joe Biden delivered a short address from the White House on Sunday, claiming credit for the toppling of the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, who was ousted by rebels after a long and brutal reign lasting decades. Biden claimed that a combination of U.S. policies — isolating Assad; tying Russia down in Ukraine; and allowing Israel freedom of action against Iran and its Hezbollah proxy — weakened the regime and left it without defenders. Biden said: Over the past four years, my administration pursued a clear, principled policy towards Syria. First, we made clear from the start that sanctions on Assad would remain in place unless

Exposure to lead in gasoline during childhood resulted in many millions of excess cases of psychiatric disorders over the last 75 years, a new study estimates. Lead was banned from automobile fuel in 1996. The study, published Wednesday in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, looked at its lasting impact in the U.S. by analyzing childhood blood lead levels from 1940 to 2015. According to the findings, the national population experienced an estimated 151 million excess mental health disorders attributable to exposure to lead from car exhaust during children’s early development.

The strikes were carried out against known ISIS camps and operatives based in Central Syria, according to US Central Command. This ongoing operation's objective was to prevent ISIS from taking advantage of the chaos and reorganizing after their attempt at a state collapsed in 2019, according to the Pentagon. The US military struck 75 targets using war planes, including B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s. So far, there are no indications of civilian life lost.

The re-opening of the Notre Dame Cathedral, which suffered extensive fire damage in 2019, occurred on Saturday, and dozens of world leaders were on hand for the festivities. There was one notable absence, though. President Joe Biden was nowhere to be found. Instead, Jill Biden showed up with her daughter. That alone spurred questions given the president has long claimed to be a "devout Catholic." Yet, he couldn't be bothered to show up for a once-in-a-lifetime event that other world leaders flocked to? Of course, while the White House will likely claim a scheduling conflict (there was nothing on the president's schedule for Saturday),
