It’s Monday, November 1st, 2021…but before we begin, two random thoughts on the train wreck that is the Biden Administration.  Thought One: Does no one close to this clown have the nerve to tell him, far from being effective, his whispering…

…is rather creepy?!?

Thought Two: Similarly, did none of the passengers in the 46* clown car stop to consider the optics of taking a massive 85-vehicle motorcade…

…to visit the Pope…to discuss climate change?!?  Not since John Kerry flew to Iceland on a private jet to accept a climate change “leadership” award have we witnessed such an act of tone-deaf hypocrisy.

Now, here’s The Gouge!

Since we’re on the subject of the man who’s in the midst of making Barack Hussein the 2nd worst occupant of the Oval Office in history, NRO‘s Kevin Williamson relates how…

The Constitution Thwarts Joe Biden

It is precisely when the Founders’ system of government is at its best that the people least appreciate it. It is designed to frustrate.

“It is a glorious day in America: President Joe Biden has suffered an ignominious defeat.

In the near term, it is important to defeat President Biden because he is Biden. In the long term, it is important to defeat President Biden because he is president.

Biden had hoped to get his big spending bills through Congress before doodling off to Rome for the G-20 meeting and then on to Glasgow for the big UN climate conference. Congress has proved admirably disagreeable, at least for the moment.

Like so many presidents before him, Biden conflates the prospects of the nation and its system of government with the prospects of his political agenda. Speaking in Connecticut a couple of weeks ago, he said it was necessary for Congress to act on his agenda in order that he might show the Russian and Chinese strongmen, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, that democracies can get things done. But Congress has just proved that it can get important things done, and one of those important things is telling the president: “No.” Or, “No, not quite,” or “No, not now.”

It has happened to better men than Joe Biden. (Which isn’t saying much!)

In the days before Congress’s self-respect was eclipsed by its self-importance, George Washington sent the Senate a note saying that he would be at the chamber “at half-past eleven tomorrow,” with tomorrow underlined for emphasis, to discuss a certain Indian treaty. President Washington did indeed show up, and the Senate told him — wait. The Senate was not ready to consider the treaty and referred it to committee. President Washington, the senators said with all due respect, could come back when they were ready. Don’t call us, we’ll call you. Washington never did return, instead conducting his business with Congress in writing from that point forward, as his successors generally have.

It was a little thing, but the senators knew what they were doing: Washington hated to be kept waiting — his relationship with Alexander Hamilton had been severely strained by the younger man’s once having failed to drop everything and attend to him immediately — and the Senate wanted to let Washington know that he was not a species of king, that Congress and the president were equals at least, and that the republican spirit of the young nation would be ill-served by having the president summon and command the Senate.

Biden is no George Washington, to say the least…”

Hells bells, he’s not even Jimmy Carter.  But his #2 (in this case, a completely appropriate description) is even worse, as NRO‘s Kyle Smith concludes in his account of…

Cackling Kamala

Observations on a political albatross

“Mayday, Code Red, and SOS! As fires bust out everywhere on the Hindenburg of vice presidents, Democrats are sending out dire cries of emergency, not via radio but using their own signaling systems: Politico and Axios and the Washington Post. “How do you solve a problem like Kamala?” the Democrats who demanded a woman of color on the 2020 presidential ticket are asking themselves. Who would have guessed that, as a moss-brained 78-year-old president stumbles around aimlessly through half a dozen crises of his own making, the Halloween screams in the Democratic Party are mostly about the president’s heir apparent?

Kamala Harris is a heartbeat away from becoming the first woman president, the first Asian president, the first woman-of-color president. Big wins all around, right? So why are the Democrats so nervous? They appear to be on the verge of calling in the Henry Wallace treatment and dumping Harris before Joe Biden runs for president again, this time with the election weeks before his 82nd birthday, in 2024. “People think she’s f***ing up, maybe she shouldn’t be the heir apparent,” one Democratic operative told Axios. White House aides use earthy language like “sh**show” to describe Harris’s “poorly managed” office. It’s “an abusive environment,” a staffer “with direct knowledge” told Politico, adding, “It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like sh**.”

What if Biden should decline to run for reelection as an octogenarian? Harris, as his lady in waiting, would almost have to be the party’s designated successor because she is black and female. To replace her, according to the party’s prevailing thought codes and its media enablers, would be racist and sexist. Yet the prospect of riding into battle behind Kamala Harris’s generalship has every Dem in D.C. reaching for the Maalox, if not the Ativan or maybe the hemlock.

…Team Kamala thinks Biden doesn’t want competition from his No. 2. So Joe Biden is setting her up to fail? If so, that would appear to be Biden’s one unambiguous success.“

Since we’re on the subject of obnoxious women of color without any qualifications whatsoever for the office they hold, enjoy this clip of former ICE director Tom Homan schooling AOC about the finer points of our legal system:

USA Today stealth edits, scrubs ‘Braves’ from columns as sports writer decries Atlanta’s ‘racist’ team name

The newspaper was previously caught stealth-editing a Stacey Abrams op-ed that backed an Atlanta boycott

“…Nightengale’s column from Saturday originally had the headline, “Sweet revenge: Atlanta Braves knock off Los Angeles Dodgers to advance to World Series,” according to The Wayback Machine. That was since changed to read, “Sweet revenge: Atlanta knocks off Los Angeles Dodgers to advance to World Series.”

Every reference to the “Braves” was removed from the piece. 

The stealth-editing similarly occurred with an Oct. 18 piece, originally titled, “Mighty Dodgers are reeling, frustrated after two walk-off NLCS wins for the Braves,” now titled “Mighty Dodgers are reeling, frustrated after two walk-off NLCS wins for Atlanta.” All uses of the word “Braves” in the piece were also scrubbed. 

Both articles were timestamped as “updated” on Oct. 25, two days before Nightengale’s piece slamming the Braves team name was published. No editor’s note was added acknowledging the changes…”

Which begs the question what kind of stunted, tortured lives such people live.

Moving on, we present for your perusal a quintet of items certain to pique the interest of inquiring Conservative minds:

(1). What’s the point of having a global climate summit when the dictator of the biggest greenhouse gas emitter on the planet won’t be in attendance, and the ruler of Russia, whose economy would collapse if the world stopped buying and burning its fossil fuels, also is a no-show.  46*, on the other hand, said he’d be there “with bells on.”

(2). FOX reports Marlys Davidson, the president of the Los Alamitos, CA school board who apologized earlier this week for saying “F*ck you!” to a parent who was speaking out against mask mandates was apparently caught on hot mic a second time during the same meeting.

Were Mr. Davidson a Republican, there’s no doubt she’d have already been hounded out of office, and deservedly so.

(3). A Virginia mom addressing a Loudoun County school board meeting earlier this month revealed she’d pulled her children from the public school system after her 6-year-old asked her if she was “born evil” because she’s white.  The concerned parent went on to chronicle the board’s many missteps, including but not limited to: (i) keeping the schools closed for a year-and-a-half, despite the science indicating it was safe for kids to return; (ii) covering up a rape while transferring the rapist to another school where he could rape again; and, (iii) arresting, humiliating and falsely accusing those who oppose them of being domestic terrorists.

(4). The Epoch Times features an FDA adviser’s explanation as to why he abstained from the vote to approve Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for young children, stating he did so because of the “limited amount of safety and efficacy data”, as well as the fact the WuFlu poses a negligible threat to children.  Which is why the schools in Loudoun County, VA and everywhere else in the country should never have been closed in the first place.

(5). NRO‘s Caroline Downey records Adam “Crybaby” Kinzinger…

…one of two Republicans currently serving on the January 6 select committee investigating the Capitol riot and a vocal critic of The Donald, shared Friday he doesn’t intend to seek reelection. “I also remember during that campaign saying that if I ever thought it was time to move on from Congress, I would, and that time is now,” Kinzinger said.  Then again, maybe it’s because of an imminent primary challenge from a GOP candidate who’s pledged to run on Trump’s America First platform that has Kinzinger calling it quits.

You’ll recall Kinzinger was literally brought to tears by the selective recall of four Capitol Police representatives.  Here’s hoping Liz Cheney joins him in well-deserved obscurity.

Which brings us, appropriately enough, to The Lighter Side:

Finally, we’ll call it a wrap with an insightful look into the heart of real racism in America as evidenced in the comments of a…

Rutgers associate professor on White people: ‘I want to say … we got to take these motherf—kers out‘

She believes that ‘White folks’ are not ‘eternal.’

“…Brittney Cooper, an associate professor in the Rutgers University Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, made the comment during an event titled, “Unpacking the Attacks on Critical Race Theory,” hosted by The Root.

“Like, the thing I want to say to you is we got to take these motherf—kers out. But, like, we can’t say that, right? We can’t say, like, I don’t believe in a project of violence. I truly don’t,” Cooper said.

…Cooper also said that she believes that “White folks” are not “eternal.” “But I do fundamentally believe that things that have a beginning have an ending. All things that begin end. White folks are not infinite and eternal, right?” Cooper said. “They ain’t going to go on for infinity and infinity. And that’s super important to remember that white colonialism and imperialism has a beginning. And in my way of thinking about the world, that means it has an end.”

She added that “Whiteness is going to have an end date, because despite what White people think of themselves, they do not defy the laws of eternity.” “But Whiteness is largely an, you know, an inconvenient interruption,” Cooper said.

…In April 2020, Cooper made headlines for blaming former President Donald Trump and the people who supported him for the impacts of coronavirus. “F— each and every Trump supporter. You absolutely did this. You are to blame,” she tweeted.

She later doubled down and said that Rutgers University would not fire her because of her tenured status. “I said what I meant. And I curse cuz I’m grown,” Cooper wrote in a tweet thread. “I have tenure. Rutgers won’t be firing me for tweets.”…”

Proving Progressives need to remove the racist rafters from their own eyes before accusing others of the bigotry and hate with which they themselves are consumed.
