What? “Stranded Americans”…WHAT “stranded Americans”?!? Deny, deny, deny!!! Such refusal to recognize obvious fact has been the Dimocrats go-to strategy since the pioneering days of Slick Willy, as recorded in this snippet from 1967’s A Guide for the Married Man forwarded by Bill Meisen:
In a related item, the wording of this headline from NRO which infers 46* had any say in the matter notwithstanding,…
Sounds like a leader in control of events to us!!! Yeah,…
Only if you believe Neville Chamberlain had the reins on Hitler.
By the way, as British Conservative Nigel Farage recently noted, “So the West wants to go green with electric cars. To do that you need lithium for batteries. Afghanistan has by far the largest lithium deposits in the world and Biden has just handed them over to China.”
Now, here’s The Gouge!
First up, in recognition of how far our country has fallen in seven short months, courtesy of American Greatness via Speed, the great Victor Davis Hanson relates…
“Almost everything Joe Biden has touched since entering office has turned to dross.None of his blame-gaming, none of his distortions, none of his fantasies and unreality can mask that truth.
…The Left may hope their own nihilist agenda sort of works. When it inevitably does not, then Joe, the delivery man, is blamed: so much more quickly, then, will be Biden’s necessary exit.They kept their part of the bargain by getting the basement denizen elected.Nowhe keeps the deal by handing over the presidency. Biden’s utility had about a six-month shelf life. (As we’ve repeatedly predicted.)
Now ever so slowly the leaks, the West Wing backstabbing, the furrowed anchor brows, and the unnamed sources will gently ease him out with 25th Amendment worries (e.g., “Perhaps President Biden might find taking the Montreal Cognitive Assessment of some value after all, for his own benefit, of course.”) Kamala Harris is not so inert as we are led to believe.
…At some point, some brave congressional representative or Senator will finally have to say to Biden, in the spirit of Oliver Cromwell and Leo Amery:
“You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”“
Next, writing at The Hill, Rebecca Beitsch reports the…
“…Their actions “potentially saved Members and staff from serious injury and possible death from a large crowd of rioters who forced their way into the U.S. Capitol and to the House Chamber where Members and staff were steps away,” Capitol Police said in the release.
“If the doors were breached, the rioters would have immediate access to the House Chambers. The officer’s actions were consistent with the officer’s training and USCP policies and procedures,” the agency continued.
Babbitt was shot as she tried to enter the Speaker’s gallery just off the House floor in the Capitol on Jan. 6. A group of people who had stormed the building had slammed through a window to the gallery, and Babbitt was climbing through that space.
The officer fired one shot, hitting Babbitt in the left shoulder.
Federal prosecutors announced in April that they would not be pursuing charges against the officer, saying in a statement that officials determined there was “insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution.”
“Specifically, the investigation revealed no evidence to establish that, at the time the officer fired a single shot at Ms. Babbitt, the officer did not reasonably believe that it was necessary to do so in self-defense or in defense of the Members of Congress and others evacuating the House Chamber,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement at the time…”
We report, you decide: Watch this video of the event…
…then tell us: (1). If Ashli Babbitt and the SMALL crowd of trespassers present outside the entrance to the gallery posed an imminent threat of “serious injury or possible death” to “Members and staff”, why did the officers standing between the rioters and the entrance to the gallery vacate their posts immediately prior to the shooting and continue to look on as Babbit was shot?; (2). If Babbitt and the SMALL crowd of trespassers posed an imminent threat of “serious injury or possible death” to “Members and staff”, why was a “Member or staff” sporting a suit and tie calmly striding the halls behind the entrance to the gallery immediately prior to the shooting?; and, (3). If the officer reasonably believed the unarmed Ashli posed an imminent threat of “serious injury or possible death” to “Members and staff” or himself, why did he not place himself between Bobbitt and the gallery?
No, Ashli shouldn’t have been there. But sorry, but this was murder, pure and simple, sanctioned and legalized at the highest levels of government.
“A new congressional report will tiePeter Daszak, the controversial director of the New York-based EcoHealth Alliance nonprofit, to the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda campaign about COVID-19’s origins.
“We have uncovered strong evidence that suggests Peter Daszak is the public face of a CCP disinformation campaign designed to suppress public discussion about a potential lab leak,” states a new report, a copy of which National Review obtained before its planned publication later today, by Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
The committee’s Republicans are releasing the document as an addendum to the COVID-origins report they issued last year. Among other things, this version highlights research from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) that viruses can be genetically modified without leaving a trace and that the WIV made unusual security-related procurements the same day that a mysterious virus database was taken off-line. “The preponderance of evidence suggests SARS-CoV-2 was accidentally released from a Wuhan Institute of Virology laboratory sometime prior to September 12, 2019,” the report concludes.
One of the most noteworthy revelations, however, might be indications that the WIV — a CCP-controlled facility — appears to have played a role in Daszak’s efforts to shape public opinion surrounding the virus’s origins.
“It’s incredibly concerning that Peter Daszak, an American scientist who has taken millions of dollars from the U.S. government, took directions from the CCP to persuade the American people a lab leak was nothing more than a ‘conspiracy theory,’” said Representative Michael McCaul, the committee’s top Republican, in a statement to National Review.
When Daszak organized a now-infamous statement referring to the lab hypothesis of COVID’s origins a “conspiracy theory” in February 2020, he did so at the behest of individuals affiliated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to emails cited in the report. The specific messages in question have been accessible online for months, but the report will bring public scrutiny to the WIV’s role in organizing the Daszak statement for the first time…”

Then there’s this septet of specially selected items certain to pique the curiosity of inquiring Conservative minds:
(4). Writing at Best of the Web, Jim Freeman catalogues 46*’s rapidly collapsing reputation:
“…A more or less typical inhabitant of Washington’s political swamp, Mr. Biden was commonly presented in 2020 as experienced and principled. Now the media presenters of this idea have suddenly been confronted with its refutation, as Princeton’s Robert George noted last week:
To get rid of Trump, some people felt it was necessary to say things about Joe Biden that aren’t true—that he is competent, for example, compassionate, caring, even wise. For some(we’d suggest most!) to say it, they had to find a way to make themselves believe it. Now reality has come crashing in.
Among the many problems overlooked in the media campaign to elect Mr. Biden is that his work experience is remarkably limited for someone his age…
…for the moment one can only wonder: who are these 41% of voters who approve of the job Joe Biden is doing?“
(6). Speaking of adding insult to injury, courtesy of Ed Harvey, the Daily News relates disgraced former governor Sonny Cuomo “got another kick in the pants on his way out the door Tuesday when the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences rescinded the Emmy it awarded him for his press briefings during the height of the COVID pandemic”, though the real question remains why he was granted the award in the first place.

Which leaves anyone with half a clue scratching their heads wondering if Hayden has the faintest clue as to the difference between cavorting clowns…
…and blood-thirsty animals?!?
Not to mention the fact his tweets are every bit as offensive and mindless as anything The Donald ever produced.
Who’d ever have imagined our senior military officers selling out their country and their souls for so little?!? It reminds us of one of our favorite scenes from one of our favorite movies, A Man for All Seasons, in which Sir Thomas More confronts his artful, avaricious accuser Richard Rich:
