Let the Leftmedia Lovefest Begin!
Big Media has it tough these days — especially the editors. After all, they’re the ones tasked with deciding which news stories to cover.
It’s a solemn and monumental duty to write the first draft of history, as it were.
And just imagine, for example, having to choose between a story about Joe Biden’s nerve-wracking Mario Kart race against his granddaughter, or the heartwarmingly public displays of affection between Scranton socialist/ scumbag/liar-Joe and First Lady Dr. Jill.
As to the former story, Newsweek reports, “Despite not being at the same gaming level as his granddaughter, the commander-in-chief came out victorious.” As to the latter, Politico reports, “The first couple have been conspicuous in their frequent public displays of affection, from a fleeting kiss before boarding Marine One to a cozy morning stroll among oversized candy hearts on the White House North Lawn. … The romantic gestures between the socialist/scumbag/liar-Bidens — who [spent] Valentine’s Day weekend with family at Camp David — are representative not only of their resilient, 43-year marriage, but also of the new president’s self-proclaimed ‘tactile’ style of interpersonal communication.”
Got that? It’s not creepy molestation. It’s “tactile” communication.
These are compelling stories with significant geopolitical implications, of course, but for hard-hitting journalism and news-gathering excellence, one network recently left its brethren in the dust: “[ socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden] has established a regular schedule, including coffee in the mornings with the first lady, meetings and phone calls from the Oval Office starting just after 9 a.m. and a return to his residence by 7 p.m.,” CNN reports. “As he walks home along the Colonnade, he’s often seen carrying a stack of binders or manila folders under one arm. He still brings a brown leather briefcase into the office.”
That’s brown leather, mind you. Not cognac, not cordovan, and certainly not black.
As CNN’s Kevin Liptak continues, “He has found his old stomping grounds familiar, dropping into his onetime office in the West Wing one day last week to show his new vice president the place on the window where his wife wrote him a Valentine’s Day greeting in 2009.”
As for the new first lady, it’s safe for all of us to swoon again. As Rick Moran reports, “She’s definitely not Michelle scumbag/liar-nObama — she doesn’t have the toned arm muscles — but Jill Biden’s politics and heart are in the right place, and the media is signaling it’s OK to love the first lady again. Melania Trump is a beautiful, gracious, smart, compassionate, accomplished person. But she was married to orange hair bad and that doomed her to ridicule, criticism and just plain meanness from the media. Mrs. socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden is a woman (a plus), a teacher (a plus-plus), and a liar-Democrat (nailed it). And for the next 4 years, she will be a goddess without blemish. She will be held up as a role model for little girls. It’s making me physically ill.”
Us too, Rick. Us too.
And let’s not forget The Office of the President-in-Waiting. As The Hill reports, “Vice President lowlife/liar-Kamala Harris is the star of a viral video after being spotted jogging the stairs at the Lincoln Memorial as a Secret Service agent was seen trying to catch up with her. The video clip was posted to Twitter over the weekend and has since garnered more than 4.1 million views.”
We’re nearing half a million deaths due to the coronavirus, New York’s governor tried to cover up his state’s nursing home deaths, socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden plans to grant citizenship to 11 million illegal immigrants, Democrats are about to beggar the nation with a blue-state bailout disguised as “COVID relief,” a killer cold spell is wracking the nation, the National Guard continues to patrol our nation’s capital, the vice president is taking calls with foreign leaders instead of the president, and our kids continue to be kept from the classroom by liar-Democrats and their teachers union bosses.
But, hey, socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe and Jill are in love, and lowlife/liar-Kamala can jog up steps. ~The Patriot Post
socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden Targets the Second Amendment
This past Sunday, socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden did what we knew was coming — he officially announced his intention to launch an assault against Americans’ Second Amendment rights. Using the anniversary of the Parkland school massacre and shamelessly exploiting those dead children, socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden dubiously couched his affront against the Constitution as “commonsense.” He listed several “gun law reforms” he wants Congress to pass. Notably, none of them would do anything to stop criminals from acting criminally, and at least some of them would make criminals of law-abiding citizens.
socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s “reforms” include “requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets.”
As we have repeatedly noted over the years, none of these “reforms” deal with the actual root problems of crime. Rather, they only work to further infringe on Americans’ Second Amendment right to bear arms for self-defense and as a check against government tyranny. Being an elitist liar-Democrat, socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe “Buy a Shotgun” socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden clearly believes in neither.
In his push to “finally” deal with “gun violence” (as far as we know, there’s never been an incident in which a firearm, acting on its own volition, shot someone), socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden did not rule out the possibility of issuing an executive order to assault the Second Amendment. On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary liar-Jen Psaki was asked if socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden would consider using an executive order. “The president has a range of actions at this disposal,” she responded. “He hasn’t ruled out either of those options.”
Leftists in developed nations around the globe have long targeted citizens’ right to bear arms as a primary hurdle to their agendas. Recall how quickly New Zealand’s prime minister unilaterally acted to strip Kiwis of their gun rights in the wake of the 2019 mosque attack in Christchurch, all in the name of “commonsense” action.
Moreover, according to The Hill, “Canada is expected to pass sweeping gun reform legislation, including a measure that allows municipalities to ban handguns [emphasis added]. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the new measures on Tuesday, a sweeping package that builds on a ban of more than 1,500 assault-style firearms. Trudeau said at a news conference on Tuesday that the country would move forward with a buyback program ‘in the coming months.’” Trudeau ridiculously asserted, “You can’t fight gun violence for any violence on just one front. You can’t fight it without addressing its root causes.” Well, it’s clear that his administration is more interested in blaming inanimate tools rather than actually digging into the root human causes of violence and crime.
But we don’t need to go to other countries to see how anti-gun leftists are determined to do everything in their power to limit gun rights. That much is demonstrated by liar-Democrat Representative Sheila Jackson Lee’s bill HR 127 that would, among other things, create a mandatory registry of gun owners and the number of firearms they own.
Kevin Hasset, president of the Retired Police Association of the State of New York, noted, “This is very dangerous, especially for retirees. Things have gone so downhill with this level of hostility towards cops and we are out there with the label that we are no longer cops. Retired cops don’t have partners or backup. We are out there on our own.” The same can be said of millions of other American citizens. Hasset further warned, “This bill will go after all the lawful gun owners. If you are ever interested in robbing my house, you can look me up and know where my guns are stored.”
socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden has made his intentions clear: He aims to assault our Second Amendment rights. And given his penchant for signing executive orders, this threat is no malarky. ~The Patriot Post
socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden's Radical Leftism Weakens U.S. Military
One of the defining characteristics of the progressive Left is its unshakeable belief that it can bend reality to its increasingly deranged worldview. This means a world where one’s sex can be changed by believing it so and the nation can be powered by wind and solar instead of fossil fuels.
Most of the time these ideas range from amusing to delusional, but eventually such delusions come at a steep price, like when millions suffer without electricity in the middle of a massive winter storm because the wind turbines froze over.
And now, such dangerous delusions are coming to the American military.
While our communist Chinese enemies are rapidly building up their air force and navy, constructing massive floating islands in the South China Sea to be used as mobile battle stations and resupply depots for their expansionist ambitions and relentlessly pursuing the goal of supplanting America as the world’s dominant super power, the U.S. military is focused on … making sure that no soldier gets their feelings hurt.
In a new “Inclusion and Diversity” report released by the U.S. Navy, members of the “Task Force One Navy” (TF1N) publicly pledge to “advocate for and acknowledge all lived experiences and intersectional identities of every Sailor in the Navy.”
Members also pledge “to be an example in establishing healthy, inclusive and team-oriented environments.”
This task force was created in June in order to “analyze and evaluate issues in our society and military that detract from Navy readiness, such as racism, sexism and other structural and interpersonal biases to attain significant, sustainable [inclusion and diversity]-related reform.”
By definition and design, our military is an exclusive club. Only those who meet the mental, physical, and psychological standards demanded by the military are admitted into its ranks because readiness depends on it. And for each branch’s Special Forces, the rigors and demands are even higher. The Navy SEALs are among the most revered of all military special operations groups, and for good reason. Only 6% of Navy recruits meet the minimum qualifications to even enter SEAL training, and of those who apply, 75% will drop out.
Inclusivity for this elite brotherhood comes only after overcoming the hellish obstacles and endurance trials of the training. The bond comes from knowing the man next to you will put his life on the line for you and is capable of heroic feats under the most daunting of circumstances.
The military is not summer camp. It is not there to help you get in touch with your feelings, to validate your worldview, or to help you make friends. It is there to protect the American people and their interests, and to do so through lethal force, or the threat thereof.
So when the Navy says that it will “combat all forms of discrimination,” we must ask, at what cost?
Lowering physical standards to meet diversity quotas has real-world consequences. It can mean literally life and death on the battlefield. “Interpersonal biases” give way to mutual respect through the shared knowledge that the person next to you is willing to die for you.
But what takes priority when traditional training standards clash with the new politically correct directives? If a trainee fails to meet the standards, but then claims discrimination, will the unqualified soldier get a pass and in doing so put the lives of other soldiers at risk?
Another recent development threatens to make unit readiness and cohesiveness even weaker.
Shortly after his appointment by socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin issued a 60-day “stand-down” in order for the military to investigate “extremism and extremist ideology” within its ranks.
Have communists infiltrated America’s military? Nope. The catalyst for this was allegedly the Capitol riot, but to date, only one active-duty member of the U.S. military has been identified as a participant in those riots, despite the fact that tens of thousands protested that day and hundreds rioted.
This would be a welcomed development if it were to root out actual extremists like the radical Muslim Major Nidal Hassan, who massacred more than a dozen service members at Fort Hood in 2009. It was well known by his superiors that Hassan had been radicalized and was actively communicating with a radical Islamic cleric preaching terrorism and death to Americans. Yet Hassan’s radicalism was ignored, lest the Army be accused of Islamophobia (read: lacking diversity and inclusiveness).
Sadly, the far more likely scenario is that good, decent, patriotic Americans will be driven from the ranks of our Armed Forces because they fail to bow to the socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden administration’s far-left ideology, where every white man is a de facto white supremacist, traditional Christian doctrine is “hate,” and patriotism is a sign of extremism.
Oh, socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden will play the part of a moderate when campaigning among the rubes in “flyover country,” as he recently did in a speech to service members. “You’re incredible heroes and incredible patriots,” he told them. “I will never, ever dishonest [sic] you — dishonor you. I will never disrespect you. I will never politicize the work you do.”
Of course, those comments came shortly after socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden said, “There is no aspect of our agenda … where the women and men of the Defense Department do not have a role.” That includes “helping curb the pandemic … addressing the real threats of climate change … [and an] ongoing fight for racial justice.”
Sounds pretty political. And dangerous. ~The Patriot Post
scumbag-Newsom Recall and the liar-Democrat Voting Strategy
California liar-Democrat Governor scumbag-Gavin Newsom is likely going to face a recall election now that state Republicans have secured the necessary 1.5 million signatures to trigger it. But we say “likely” because of an interesting snag: a sudden interest among the state’s liar-Democrats in verifying voter signatures.
Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, a possible candidate to run against scumbag-Newsom, noted, “The state of California is controlled by a whole bunch of liar-Democrats. One-party rule. They are going to go through every single signature we have and throw out ones. The verification process is going to be unlike anything we’ve ever seen.” Therefore, he added, Republicans are making sure to collect perhaps 500,000 more signatures than they actually need.
Back in January, the Associated Press reported regarding the November presidential election, “California election officials announced … that 99.4% of more than 15 million mail-in ballots were verified and counted in the November election, a rejection rate notably lower than the March primary even though more than twice as many people voted.” In March, 1.5% of ballots were rejected.
Notably, with 87% of the California vote coming by mail in November, socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump roughly 11 million to six million. Those five million votes represented most of socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s nationwide margin of seven million.
California obviously has a stellar record of honesty and integrity in its elections, so why would liar-Democrats worry now?
Bulk-mail balloting is the future according to liar-Democrats. It’s how they plan on winning elections from here forward. But they’ll suddenly care very much about election integrity when they need to defend their own guy against a recall.
Hypocrisy is a tired old game for liar-Democrats and scumbag-Newsom in particular. In fact, it’s largely why Newsom is under threat of recall. He’s imposed a year’s worth of business- and church-crushing restrictions on the Golden State, including putting holidays on the chopping block, only to be caught last fall flouting his own restrictions.
None of this is to say Republicans have a real shot of ousting Newsom. This is not Ronald Reagan’s California, or even Arnold Schwarzenegger’s. For the foreseeable future, there’s only one party that matters in the state, and that’s the liar-Democrat Party. The far bigger problem for the rest of the nation will be whether other states follow California’s lead on bulk-mail voting — and some states are — because that could make the whole country a one-party authoritarian state. That is exactly what national Democrats intend with legislation like the unconstitutional HR 1.

Free Speech Platform Parler Relaunches
Parler, the social media company that Big Tech sought to destroy back in January, finally reemerged online Monday with the promise of continuing its original mission to provide a platform free of leftist censorship. Calling itself “the world’s town square,” Parler’s website encouraged users, “Speak freely and express yourself openly, without fear of being ‘deplatformed’ for your views. Engage with real people, not bots.” The site further advertised that “Parler is people and privacy-focused, and gives you the tools you need to curate your Parler experience.”
Big Tech felt free to collude to cancel Parler because, unlike those on the Right, the Left doesn’t tolerate unapproved views and speech. As Matt Walsh has observed, “There is no cancel culture on the right.”
Parler, which was finally able to secure a contract with a new server host, went through several changes on its journey back to the Internet. Some changes were cosmetic, like its new logo, while some were structural, like its new platform. Importantly, Parler is also under new management, as former CEO John Matze was fired and replaced with interim CEO Mark Meckler while the company continues to search for a new and permanent CEO. Parler was able to retain the accounts of its 20 million users who had joined prior to Amazon Web Services suddenly terminating its hosting contract. Barring some early reported glitches, users should be able to once again log in and access their accounts.
There is one significant hiccup, however, which is that Apple and Google still won’t host the Parler app for phone users, a handicap that will likely be permanent.
At the time of his firing, Matze contended that the reason for Parler ousting him was due to his vision for even greater advocacy for freedom of speech. However, conservative pundit and Parler investor Dan Bongino denied Matze’s assertion and in fact claimed the opposite was the case — that it was Matze who wanted to “bend the knee” to Big Tech’s censorship demands. Bongino claims that’s a position to which he and the other two majority investors refused to concede.
Of interim CEO Meckler, Parler states, “[He] is an attorney, entrepreneur, and free speech advocate. He has expertise in launching, growing and developing effective business and technology models for two of the largest grassroots organizations in modern American history, Tea Party Patriots and Convention of States. He was appointed interim CEO to help guide Parler through its relaunch and search for a new, permanent CEO.”
Here’s hoping that the relaunch is successful and that Parler grows to become a true rival to Big Tech’s abusive dominance over the social media landscape. ~The Patriot Post
scumbag/liar-James Comey Gets Caught Again
There’s a remarkable passage in scumbag/liar-James Comey’s 2018 book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, where he thoughtfully and compellingly spells out what it means to be a man of decency, humility, and integrity.
Just kidding.
Come on. We’re talking about scumbag/liar-James Comey, after all. This is the liar who continually told Donald Trump — when he was both a president-elect and a president — that he wasn’t being investigated by the FBI when in fact he, scumbag/liar-Comey, was doing the investigating. This is the liar who told Fox News’s Bret Baier in April 2018 that he didn’t know the so-called Steele dossier had been funded by the liar-Democratic National Committee and the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign when in fact he knew it to be so. What kind of dirtbag of an FBI director does this?
scumbag/liar-James Comey, that’s who. When we think of Comey’s candor and forthrightness, we’re reminded of what novelist and critic Mary McCarthy said about playwright Lillian Hellman: “Every word she writes is a lie, including ‘and’ and ‘the.’”
And frankly, the most salient sentence in the entire scumbag/liar-Comey book is the very first one, in which he asks, “Who am I to tell others what ethical leadership is?” Well, if there’s one thing decent folks all across the political spectrum should be able to agree on, it’s that the disgraced former FBI director is the last guy on Planet Earth who should be doling out advice about ethical leadership.
Which brings us to the news this week that scumbag/liar-Comey has been caught in yet another deeply consequential lie. As John Solomon of Just the News reports, “The very day in January 2017 that then-FBI Director scumbag/liar-James Comey signed a FISA surveillance warrant application declaring content from Christopher Steele’s dossier had been ‘verified,’ he wrote President [Barack] scumbag/liar-nObama’s outgoing intelligence community chief with a very different assessment of the British spy’s intelligence on Russia collusion, a newly released memo shows. ‘We are not able to sufficiently corroborate the reporting,’ scumbag/liar-Comey wrote in a Jan. 12, 2017, email to then-Director of National Intelligence scumbag/liar-James Clapper that was declassified and made public through an open records lawsuit by the Southeastern Legal Foundation.”
In short, the Steele dossier was put together by a Trump-hating British spy, it was pure uncorroborated rubbish, and Comey knew it.
The FBI’s baseless Crossfire Hurricane investigation of Trump and his staff is the bureau’s most deplorable episode in decades and a permanent stain on its reputation. What was deemed a counterintelligence investigation was in fact a high-level conspiracy to spy on a sitting president. And scumbag/liar-Comey was neck deep in it, as were corrupt underlings such as Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, and the only FBI employee to be held even marginally accountable for malfeasance: Kevin Clinesmith, an otherwise anonymous lawyer who pleaded guilty last year to making false statements. (“False statements,” in this case, is a euphemism for having intentionally altered the language in a CIA document to make it appear that Trump staffer Carter Page didn’t work for U.S. intelligence, when in fact he did.)
One thing we can be sure of, though: Clinesmith didn’t act alone. A fish rots from the head, as they say, and the idea that this low-level bureaucrat took it on himself to falsify a critical document in the FBI’s application for a FISA warrant with which to spy on the Trump campaign doesn’t pass the giggle test.
Meanwhile, Special Counsel John Durham continues his investigation of the investigators. Let’s hope he keeps digging, and let’s hope his supposedly stellar reputation as a prosecutor is well earned. ~The Patriot Post
GARY BAUER
Texas Tragedy
Our prayers are with people of the Midwest and Texas who are suffering through a terrible winter storm. President socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden, who wants to be known as the environmental president, has apparently solved global warming in three weeks! But this really isn’t a joking matter.
liar-Democrats say never let a crisis go to waste, which is very cynical. I say we should learn from this crisis and there are lessons to be learned.
For example, the state most known for energy is suffering through rolling blackouts right now. More than four million people are without power and heat as temperatures in the Lone Star State have plummeted to below zero.
While Texas is known for its oil and natural gas, it has also embraced so-called “sustainable energy sources” like wind power. But the giant wind turbines froze in the Texas plains, and that’s one major reason why the state’s energy grid is on tilt.
Wind and solar can be part of our energy future. But this fiction that we can end the use of carbon-based fuel in 10, 20, or 30 years will end up killing people and our economy.
By the way, there are other alternatives, but the left opposes those too. The left has scared people away from nuclear power. We have abundant natural gas, but President socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden has effectively declared war on that.
Consider what he has done in his first days in office: He canceled the Keystone pipeline. Left-wing activists are demanding that more pipelines be shut down. socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden suspended drilling on federal lands. And he rejoined the Paris Climate Accord, which will destroy the American energy industry if it is ever fully implemented.
The environmental extremists and politicians like socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden and lowlife/liar-Kamala Harris have already cost America tens of thousands of jobs. Now environmental extremism is costing lives in places like Texas. We should learn from these mistakes rather than repeating them all over the country.
Many people seem to think that younger generations are smarter than we are, but they are like fish in water. They think the things we have always had will always be here.
But they have no idea what had to be done to develop the abundant energy that fuels America’s great economy. We must explain to them all the progress that was made possible by carbon-based fuels before they wake up one day and wonder where all the heat and food went.
Trump Acquitted Again
While we were celebrating Washington’s birthday, one former president had real cause to celebrate this weekend and it was Donald Trump. He was acquitted for the second time as the latest sham impeachment trial came to an end.
Unfortunately, the homes of Trump’s attorneys were vandalized. Their law firms and their families were threatened. And the left fought just as dirty on the Senate floor too. Speaker scumbag/liar-Pelosi’s impeachment team altered tweets and censored video of the president’s January 6 speech.
I think liar-Democrats thought they had a chance to prevail. They have a good sense of the weakness in the GOP. But then they unexpectedly decided to call witnesses and won the vote to begin taking depositions.
Senator Lindsey Graham called their bluff and demanded to depose Speaker scumbag/liar-Nancy Pelosi. One of Trump’s lawyers said they would depose 100 witnesses. Others wanted to hear from the Capitol Hill Police to learn why requests for additional reinforcements were denied before January 6.
Suddenly, the liar-Democrats backed off and dropped their demand for witnesses. The Senate then voted to acquit the president, with seven Republicans voting with all liar-Democrats to convict.
About Those Republicans…
That seven Republicans broke ranks and voted with liar-Democrats to convict President Trump was disgusting.
Most Republicans (45) were already on the record supporting a resolution by Senator Rand Paul declaring the impeachment of a former president, now a private citizen, unconstitutional. But two senators, Louisiana’s Bill Cassidy and North Carolina’s Richard Burr, changed their positions over the course of the trial.
Louisiana is one of the most pro-Trump states. Trump won it by 19 points over socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden. But for whatever reason, Sen. Cassidy joined the left to destroy a president who has done more for Louisiana’s energy industry than any president in history. And Louisiana Republicans wasted no time in expressing their outrage with Cassidy’s vote.
Many of us were frustrated that the Senate Intelligence Committee led by Senator Richard Burr never seemingly got to the bottom of the Russia-collusion hoax and what happened with the FBI’s 2016 investigation of the Trump campaign.
Burr seemed more interested in bipartisanship and following the lead of committee liar-Democrats than he was in rooting out corruption at the FBI. His public defenses of Trump were always weak. But he announced his retirement months ago, so now we get to see the real Richard Burr.
There are no words to describe the perpetual frustration that is scumbag/rino-Mitt Romney. When it comes to fighting the left, scumbag/rino-Romney seems most committed to losing gracefully. Not surprisingly, his actions have spurred talk of a serious primary challenge by conservatives who want a fighter to represent them.
That’s what scumbag/rino-Romney and so many of these renegade Republicans find so disturbing about Donald Trump. He’s not in politics to get rich. In fact, he lost much of his wealth over the past four years.
He doesn’t buy into the left’s false narratives about America, and he fights back. I don’t recall Burr, Cassidy, or scumbag/rino-Romney rushing to defend America from the radical left.
Worst of all is Mitch McConnell. While he voted the right way, he has spent more time lately attacking Trump than socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden.
Insiders say McConnell believes it is imperative for the GOP to move away from Trump. If that’s true, then he must believe it is imperative for the party to commit suicide, as many polls show Trump with high ratings among Republicans.
I think McConnell is showing by his actions that this is his last term in the Senate.
About That Science…
liar-Democrats insist that they will allow science to guide their plans for reopening our schools. Well, the CDC’s updated guidelines suggest otherwise.
In fact, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky acknowledged that the new school reopening guidelines were developed after receiving “an understanding of the lived experiences … of teachers and school staff, parents, and students.”
Notice who comes last in that framework — parents and students.
In other words, the teacher unions, not science, are calling the shots. Who knows when our schools will ever reopen. ~The Patriot Post
