…given the effectiveness of House Republicans over the last two years, how bad can gridlock be?!? We can think of an awful lot of things way worse than Mad Maxine and Nancy the Red spouting their Socialist syllabi 24/7.
Seriously, other than tax cuts, what exactly did Paul Ryan’s House accomplish of any real significance which Pelosi can undo? The vast majority of Conservative victories over the last two years have come through, at least according to the NeverTrumpers, the unlikeliest of sources:
“It was no accident or blunder that Donald Trump tweeted a congratulations to Nancy Pelosi and told Democrats that she should be the next speaker of the House. “She earned it,” the president declared.
And how beautifully does that work out for Trump? In Nancy Pelosi, liberals are about to hand to the GOP the gift that just keeps giving. Pelosi is in many polls the least popular politician in America — she’s less popular than even Donald Trump.If the Democrats were a semi-sane party and not handcuffed to the identity politics that prevents them from ever firing any woman or minority no matter how big a liability, Pelosi would be the last person on earth they would pick to be speaker.Smart Democrats with whom I talk know that this is the case, but they can only half-whisper this truth.
…Meanwhile, Pelosi has already announced her firstbig new idea for Democrats.Drum roll, please. She wants to force Trump to release his tax returns.Now there’s an inspiring issue that will help make America great again. Next she wants to hamstring Trump with investigations, possibly initiate impeachment hearings, and unleash Maxine Waters of California as the incoming chairman of the powerful Financial Services Committee on the banking and investment industry. (Since Wall Street and many of the big banks showered Dems with money this cycle, it’s hard to feel sorry for them. What did they think were buying?)
Maybe Pelosi will try to declare America a sanctuary country and shut down the border patrol. And perhaps her green allies will help her shut down all fossil-fuel development in America — thereby turning off the lights and putting many millions of workers out of jobs.You go, girl.
In other words, Pelosi will give Americans a front-row seat into what “progressive” governance looks like up front and personal when the crazies are back running the show. It isn’t pretty, but it’s much better for voters to discover the madness of the modern Democratic party now than two years from now when the stakes will be so much larger. Trump finally has what he’s been missing since he vanquished Crooked Hillary two years ago: a foil.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Donald Trump is the biggest winner in last week’s midterm elections.“
And consider these two thoughts on the election results from Pete Groetzinger…
“Consider this. Assuming, as Politico loves to say, the House elections are the purest vote on the popularity of a sitting President, last night, with a huge fundraising advantage and a fired up whack job base, the Democrats gained about 35 seats. Compare this to 2010 when Obama was the sitting President and the Republicans picked up 63 seats.On top of this the Republicans will add three seats in the Senate. And the media darlings of Texas, Florida and Georgia all lost.All in all, not a bad night.“
…and G. Trevor:
“As someone said, if pigs could vote, they’d vote for the guy who fills their slop bucket everyday. Never mind it’s the same person who’ll slit their throat and butcher them to feed himself.“
Oh,…and Jim Acosta is a pompous bag of self-serving…
…douche; and all we have to say about the revocation of his White House press badge is IT’S ABOUT FRIGGIN’ TIME!!! As D.C. McAllister observed at PJMedia:
“The press is free — it’s free even to lie — but noindividual reporter is free to be disruptive to the point of hostility.“
Now, here’s The Gouge!
We lead off the last Gouge of the week with a few random thoughts on several of the stories which broke since our last edition.
Though Tucker Carlson points out the positive aspects of Sessions’ tenure at the DOJ…
…we remain of the opinion Sessions should have stayed in the Senate where, if not overly effective, he was at least a solid Conservative vote. As AG, his farcical folding in the face of fanciful claims of a non-existent conflict of interest was akin to a poker player holding a straight flush being bluffed out of an all-in pot. And while the vast majority of Progressive protestations aimed at Sessions…
…were either overblown or pure hyperbole, his failure to force the DOJ and FBI to release documents to the House combined with his Russian collusion recusal rendered him about as useful as a…
…in bringing the Deep State to account for their crimes.
We’ve no doubt Jeff is a fine, upstanding Christian gentleman, not to mention a helluva great guy in a lot of ways. But as the nation’s leading law enforcement officer, he was either in over his head or unwilling to truly take on the Washington establishment.
In a related item, in a blast from the past, Ken Starr suggests…
We don’t know what Starr’s smoking, but it must be some goooood sh*t! “Stability”…is he serious?!? After 8 years of Obama and 2 under Rod Rodentstein (Jeff Sessions having been MIA for most of the last 24 months), what the DOJ needs is thorough sanitizing on the scale of Hercules’ cleansing of the Augean stables:
Since we’re on the subject of organizations in dire need of sanitizing, as regards the Antifa group which showed up at Tucker Carlson’s house, the seeming unwillingness of authorities at any level(including the FBI) in any part of the country to confront and/or counter what is undeniably an increasing threat to public safety reminds us of one of our favorite scenes from Jaws, with Murray Hamilton representing the impotent authorities…
…Richard Dreyfus those affected by Antifa’s acts of intimidation and lawless violence, and of course, Antifa the “paint-happy bastards” who defaced the sign . One of two things is going happen: (1) Antifa will go too far and seriously injure or kill one of their intended targets or some other innocent victim (such as the motorist assaulted in Portland), in which case, Progressives and their shills in the MSM will manufacture a reason to blame The Donald; or, (2) one of Antifa’s intended targets or some other innocent victim (such as the motorist assaulted in Portland) will, in legitimate fear for their life, give one of these over-indulged, under-educated anarchists a seat on…
In which case, Progressives and their shills in the MSM will blame Trump and the NRA. We’re beginning to think America needs an organization to confront Antifa where THEY live…to threaten THEIR safety…and the lives of THEIR families. You know, like Harry Callahan suggested in Magnum Force: “Sort of a death squad like they had in Brazil some years back.”
After all, to borrow another pearl of wisdom and common sense from the good Inspector: “Nothing wrong with shooting, as long as the right people get shot.”
Our reaction to any Dimocratic-initiated recount remains the same:
As for the chances Acting AG Matt Whitaker will wilt under Progressive pressure and recuse himself from the Robert Mueller’s version of the Show That Never Ends, CNN’s Chris Cillizza says…
“…here’s the reality: Whitaker ain’t recusing himself.“
Moving on, if there’s ever been a white-washing of Black-on-Black violence, this is it. First, watch the censored version of the incident provided by the local TV news:
Now, watch the actual event as it unfolded, unedited, including the language and intonation on the part of the assailant and the assailed:
Our initial observation was the teacher’s rather meek response reminded us of a spouse suffering from Battered Wife Syndrome. And all kidding aside, we thought the student was the reincarnation of Rerun from What’s Happening. Imagine our surprise when, as this next video reveals, what we believed to be a “he” was a “she”:
Although it’s long and somewhat tedious, this video is valuable for the insight it provides into the damage Progressives’ divisive race-baiting has wrought on the thought processes of weak-minded Americans. While the narrator correctly identifies the source of the problem, she goes totally off the rails when reaching her conclusions.
It’s also worth noting this isn’t the first time this particular high school has been the scene of student violence:
Frederick Douglass must be rolling over in his grave…and cursing the Dimocrats for their deliberate destruction of the Black family.
Next up, our eldest son, Major Jon McKee, USA(R), currently overseas protecting the rights of ungrateful Progressives across the fruited plains, forwarded the following from Navy Times:
“Fourteen sailors from the nuclear reactor department of the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan face disciplinary action in connection to LSD abuse, Navy officials confirmed this week. Two sailors are already heading to court-martial for using, possessing and distributing the hallucinogenic drug, while three are waiting to see whether they will be charged as well, according to 7th Fleet spokesman Lt. Joe Keiley.
Another 10 sailors with the Japan-based ship were administratively disciplined on LSD-related charges, Keiley said.
…Keiley said the 14 reactor sailors charged or facing potential charges came from a department with more than 400 personnel.Accused sailors were removed from all duties pending the findings of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service probe, he said in an email.
“Out of an abundance of caution, Ronald Reagan leadership reviewed the work previously performed by the accused sailors and no improper work was identified,” Keiley said in an email to Navy Times…”
And these, friends, are supposed to be the crème de la crème of the Navy’s enlisted ranks. This country’s Military remains in a world of hurt. Though they might have needed the acid to cope with the Navy’s LBGTQ policies.
…along with these hilarious memes from Balls Cotton and our neighbor John Moller:
Speaking of Fuk Yu, we’ll call it a week with the Who Gives a Hoot in Hell segment, brought to us today by another celebrity who actually believes someone…anyone…gives a rat’s a*s what they think…about anything, as…
“Ashton Kutcher revealed how the mass shooting at the Borderline bar in Thousand Oaks, Calif. on Thursday personally affected him…“My wife threw me a birthday party this year at the Borderline,” Kutcher wore in a tweet. “Only reason we are alive is the shooter chose a different night.”
…The actor also tweeted about advocating for stricter gun laws. He wrote, “I’ll say it again… Gun Reform now! Politicians need to stop standing behind the dollar and Protect the people!”
But Kutcher didn’t stop there. In a separate tweet, the 40-year-old went on to tag Ivanka Trump telling her that her brother-in-law attended Kutcher’s party. “your brother in law was at that birthday party. He could have just as easily been a victim.”…”
Holy close call, Batman! Come to think of it, WE were in the World Trade Center once…
Yet, Kutcher’s attempt to simultaneously make the tragedy about both himself and gun control notwithstanding, we never believed our personal feelings regarding mass murder worthy of public dissemination.
