It’s Friday, January 15th, 2021…but before we begin, Jamie Raskin was recently named one of the House impeachment managers, and we were curious as to what district he misrepresents. Meet Maryland’s 8th congressional district…
…gerrymandered to ensure the tyranny of the Socialist majority in a small fraction of the Montgomery County over the far more Conservative citizens in huge swaths of Carroll and Frederick Counties.
Since we’re on the subject of Socialists, in his latest video, Ami Horowitz uncovers how they define “unity” and “compromise”. Spoiler Alert: it ain’t exactly right out of Webster’s…at least not yet.
We can’t remember where we found this quote, but it’s a dead-on, balls accurate explanation as to why we’re in a war with Progressives for our nation’s future:
In a related item of Liberal lunacy featured at FOX News…
“…“I also intend to see that those members of Congress who abetted him, those members of Congress who had groups coming through the capitol that I saw on Jan. 5 for reconnaissance for the next day. Those members of Congress who incited the violent crowd. Those members of Congress that attempted to help our president undermine our democracy, I’m going see that they’re held accountable,” Sherrill said.
The congresswoman didn’t name any of the lawmakers, or offer additional details into what qualified their actions to be “reconnaissance.” It’s not clear how she determined that the “reconnaissance” was connected to the riots the following day, according to Politico.
Her office did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News…”
No doubt the Congresswoman’s proof is about as damning as Adam Schiff’s non-existent evidence of Trump’s collusion with Russia. Then again, maybe it’s in Al Capone’s vault.
Now, here’s The Gouge!
First up, a very disturbing development forwarded by Balls Cotton, as the The Hill informs us the…
Even an addled American should recognize such a statement from our Military’s “leaders” is…
…for as White House Dossier accurately observed, it’s in fact quite…
“Unprecedented. We already have intelligence that is politicized. Politicized military is the last thing America needs. Defense “nomenklatura’ clearly are trying to make sure that they remain “hirable” by the Beltway Bandits, after they retire from their cushy government jobs.“
Here’s the juice: Such a letter isn’t indicative of military leaders deserving of respect, but rather repugnant political animals worthy only of contempt.
(2) A close friend who was on the mall between the White House and the Washington Monument said even given their proximity to Trump, they couldn’t understand a word he was saying. Which begs the question how anyone immediately in front of the Capitol could be incited to violence by the words of a speaker they could not possibly hear. And please, don’t tell us they were they all listening to Trump’s speech on their cell phones.
Though to be fair, as the Journal’s Kim Strassel notes, the recent actions of Corporate America prove the Pentagon isn’t the only source of craven, profit-seeking, PC-inspired cowardice.
Speaking of political animals willing to sacrifice anyone or anything in their relentless pursuit of personal power and wealth, are we the only one…besides Balls Cotton and ShipWreckedCrew…who finds it more than curious, now, in the midst of the cold and flu season…not to mention the supposed height of the pandemic…it’s suddenly okay to dine indoors in New York and Chicago?!? It can’t have anything to do with Trump leaving office next Tuesday.
Here’s some more of the juice: Cuomo, de Blasio and Lightfoot all deserve to be…
For those who’ve misplaced their spectacles, that’s tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail!
Next, writing at City Journal, William Voegeli offers an honest assessment…
“Many things are complicated—but not everything. If you condemned the Antifa/Black Lives Matter violence that took place around the country in 2020, as all conservatives did, then you must condemn the Trumpist riot at the U.S. Capitol in 2021.Period.
Suppose, however, you spent last summer applauding the riots, or dissembling about them, or dismissing them. In that case, to deplore last week’s violence credibly is not so simple. If you demand that your political adversaries adhere to a principle, but exempt people whose cause you endorse from having to comply, then that preference you enjoy boasting about is not really a principle. It is not a standard of conduct applicable to all, in other words, but just another rhetorical device used for political combat.
If you’re Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, for example, a question in July about mobs toppling statues in public spaces elicited not a denunciation but a koan: “People will do what they do.” Indeed, people will do what they do. Some people, for example, will break into the Capitol and occupy the Speaker’s office. But limiting oneself to the serene observation that this is what they do would constitute a grave failure to repudiate an offense against law, order, and democracy.
Nikole Hannah-Jones, who won a Pulitzer Prize for creating the New York Times’s “1619 Project,” also expressed equanimity and even pride regarding last year’s unrest. “It would be an honor,” she said, if the burning police stations and looted stores came to be described as the “1619 Riots.” In any case, “Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence.” Hannah-Jones went on to explain, “Any reasonable person would say we shouldn’t be destroying other people’s property, but these are not reasonable times.” Reasonable people also say that mobs should not overrun the seat of government or be gratified if someone calls that assault the “1776 Riots.” But if declaring “these are not reasonable times” changes everything, then the loophole devours the rule, or even the idea of having rules.
When protesters surrounded a Seattle police station, forcing officers to evacuate it, and declared the adjacent area an “autonomous zone,” mayor Jenny Durkan was reassuring: “Don’t be so afraid of democracy.” Civic and political leaders in Philadelphia were equally non-judgmental about the shattered glass and boarded stores on their streets. “I don’t think we need to be parsing whether there needs to be looting,” said one city council member. Rioting was “understandable but regrettable,” Jesse Jackson said in June, a quasi-criticism no one would think to apply to the Capitol Hill mob.
In the wake of last week’s riot, formulations like these have become deeply embarrassing. What is to be done? One option would be for the people who put them forward, and their many political allies, to admit the obvious: since riots are bad—utterly, always, and everywhere—justifying them, or praising them with faint damns, is also colossally irresponsible. The people who set last summer’s fires, looted stores, or assaulted motorists and pedestrians should be condemned, and the people who made excuses for their behavior should be ashamed. Reader, you are borne through life with a sunnier view of human nature than I if you are dismayed that no such apologies or retractions have yet been offered…”
Truth is truth: immutable, unchangeable and not subject to the vagaries of contemporary culture.
Speaking of prevaricating Progressive poltroons, as the New York Post reports…
The judgement of Navalny, so vociferous a critic of Barack’s buddy Vlad…
…he barely survived a Kremlin-ordered assassination attempt, deserves far more weight than most. Particularly that of Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Jeff Zucker, Joe Biden or any other member of the American Dimocratic Socialist establishment.
And while the editorial board at the WSJ may buy into the Twitter founder’s spin, his words, as recorded by Project Veritas courtesy of Balls Cotton, say otherwise:
Moving on, the incomparable Stilton Jarlsberg offers a helpful primer for those confused about what’s really driving Dimocrats to establish a new standard for venality:
“…While many Americans wonder what the Big Honkin’ Deal is, what with President Trump clearly innocentof the named charges and already out the door in a few days, it turns out that there are little-known ramifications of a kind never before seen in American political history. Ramifications known only to Constitutional scholars and, in our case, day-drinkers.
Because if a President is impeached twice and convicted, his name and visage is to be stricken from all public records, and the original opposing candidate – Hillary Clinton, in this case – will be digitally inserted into the history books:
Biden & Harris would still take office as scheduled (by the Chinese), but Mrs. Clinton would at least have an imaginary term on paper and in the digital cloud. And this would be a pretty sweet deal for Hillary who, besides becoming the first woman president, would also be able to take credit for a wildly revitalized economy, a term with no new wars, and such remarkable foreign policy successes that Nobel Peace Prize nominations have been stacking up.
President Hillary would also be heralded for having rebuilt the military, restored American jobs, and bringing unparalleled improvement to every metric of the lives of minorities and the working class. And when the going got tough when a pandemic hit, it was digitally-inserted Hillary who bravely and presciently shut down our nation’s borders and instituted a vaccine-development program which would produce successful results on a timetable that every expert said would be impossible. All accomplishments that the Democrats will lustily cheer as historic successes for their party.
Yes, that Hillary Clinton was one hell of a virtual president alright.“
Which brings us, quite fittingly, to The Lighter Side:
Then there’s two from the lovely Shannon…
…another from Geoff Griffith…
…and this series from Balls Cotton:
Finally, we’ll call it a week with The Law of Easily Foreseen Consequences segment, as we learn…
Were we the bitter type…or not possessed of the spirit of Christian charity…we’d wish all those who voted for this doddering old fool might live to see every one of their female offspring’s athletic careers derailed by the impact of such all-too-predictable Progressive preposterousness.
