scumbag/liar-nObama Blames Whites for
Failure to Enact Reparations
I’m in favor of reparations, and it’s all whitey’s fault that we don’t have ‘em yet.
Barack scumbag/liar-nObama might not have expressed himself quite so candidly. After all, he’s a man of great depth and nuance — or, as socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden would say, “articulate and bright and clean.” But this is the essence of his thoughts on the matter. He told as much yesterday.
As Peter Heck writes, “On the 'Renegades’ podcast he co-hosts with Bruce Springsteen, scumbag/liar-nObama shared his views on race relations and the part reparations might play in improving them. The former president expressed that while [in] office he considered pursuing reparation payments to black citizens as compensation for the [generational] wealth lost as a consequence of slavery, but ultimately decided it would be a fruitless venture. scumbag/liar-nObama said that while he has always thought reparations would be ‘justified,’ he knew that ‘the politics of white resistance and resentment’ would prevent any meaningful action.”
Ah, the ol’ “politics of white resistance and resentment.” Why, it’s as if he thinks white people “get bitter and they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them as a way to explain their frustrations.”
(If you aren’t down with turning over trillions more in transfer payments to non-victims of atrocities you never committed, Barack scumbag/liar-nObama thinks you need to listen more closely to your white guilt.)
How fitting, though, that two of our nation’s foremost narcissists have come together to collaborate on a wokecast called “Renegades: Born in the USA.” As if anyone but the dimmest of dim bulbs believes there’s anything even remotely renegady about this ultra-privileged leftist duo.
As for our nation’s debt to the descendants of slaves, where was scumbag/liar-nObama when it mattered? When he was, oh, president? We’ll tell you where: He was cowering behind a carefully cultivated image of electability. As Fox News reports, “He opposed reparations during his 2008 presidential campaign, arguing that ‘the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed.’”
Apparently, good schools and good jobs are no longer good enough.
Remember: This is the same slippery guy who was in favor of same-sex marriage back in 1996, but then lied about it during the 2008 presidential campaign in order to get elected, and then ultimately came back around in 2012, when he figured the sands had shifted sufficiently for him to “rediscover” that long-ago support.
In much the same way, scumbag/liar-nObama now says reparations are “justified” and that “there’s not much question that the wealth … [and] the power of this country was built in significant part — not exclusively, maybe not even the majority of it, but a large portion of it — was built on the backs of slaves.”
Bravely spoken, now that he’s more than four years out of office. Seems scumbag/liar-nObama just can’t stop leading from behind. Of course, he’s also emblematic of one of the many intractable problems with reparations: namely, Who owes what to whom? After all, he’s half-white, and so are millions of other Americans. For the scumbag/liar-nObamas, would the bill for slavery simply be moved from his checking account to Michelle’s?
As to the merits of reparations, our Thomas Gallatin addressed the issue earlier this week, covering liar-Democrat Texas Congresswoman douchebag-Sheila Jackson Lee’s recently submitted HR 40, as well as some principled dissent from the likes of Utah Representative and former NFLer Burgess Owens. “Reparations are not the way to right our country’s wrong,” Owens said. “It is impractical and a nonstarter for the United States government to pay reparations. It is also unfair and heartless to give black Americans the hope that this is a reality.”
Another strong conservative voice within the black community, that of another former NFLer, Herschel Walker, is also against reparations. “Where does the money come from?” he asked “Does it come from all the other races except the black taxpayers? Who is black? … Who is the guilty party? Should we start at the beginning where African Americans sold your African American ancestors into slavery? And to a slave trader who eventually sold African American ancestors to slave owners?”
Finally, it was some 20 years ago when former hard-leftist-turned-conservative David Horowitz addressed the issue of reparations, and his 10-point argument, which took the form of an advertisement and caused a furor when it ran in nine college newspapers, has aged remarkably well.
Each of his 10 points is powerful on its own, but perhaps the tenth one is the most powerful: “The reparations claim is a separatist idea that sets African-Americans against the nation that gave them freedom.”
“For all America’s faults,” Horowitz writes, “African-Americans have an enormous stake in their country and its heritage. It is this heritage that is really under attack by the reparations movement. The reparations claim is one more assault on America, conducted by racial separatists and the political left. It is an attack not only on white Americans, but on all Americans — especially African-Americans.”

Xavier Becerra Exposed — socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden's
So what are Becerra’s “qualifications”? For the socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden administration, his commitment to pursuing a radical leftist agenda is paramount. By nominating Becerra, socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden is seeking to weaponize the HHS into an enforcement agency.
During his confirmation hearing, it became patently clear that Becerra is fully on board the radical leftist agenda, as his record as California’s AG attests. Socialist Senator dinky/liar-Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) asked if he would help push the Left’s racial “equity” agenda by committing “to collect the data we need to see the racial disparities in our health care system and to attack those disparities head on.” Becerra readily answered, “Senator, I’m looking forward to working with you on this because it’s time.”
Becerra is an abortion absolutist and enthusiast. When questioned by Republican Senator Steve Daines (MT) if he could “name one abortion restriction that you might support,” Becerra demurred. Again Daines asked, “To be clear, is there any line you would draw? Is there just one restriction that relates to abortion that you might support?” Once again Becerra dodged, refusing to give a straight answer and saying only, “I respect those who take a particular view; my job will be to make sure that I’m following the law.”
On the issue of religious liberty, Becerra was challenged for falsely claiming he “never sued nuns” for objecting to and fighting against scumbag/liar-nObamaCare’s contraception mandate. “You actually sued the federal government who had given an exemption to the nuns,” Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) observed. “Can you explain what the Little Sisters of the Poor were doing wrong?”
Becerra sought to spin away from the obvious by hiding behind semantics: “Our problem was that the federal government was not abiding by the law as we saw it … and we took action … so that California could administer its programs to make sure that the Affordable Care Act continued to work.” Sasse called out Becerra for a “complete nonsense answer” and continued to press: “What you’re saying isn’t true. You say you didn’t sue the nuns, you sued the federal government that was keeping you from making sure that the nuns had to buy contraceptive insurance. Were the nuns going to get pregnant?” Once again Becerra responded by hiding behind semantics.
As noted above, it’s clear that Becerra’s experience and record do not qualify him for the position of HHS secretary. He’s a radical who would seek to use the agency against Americans’ freedoms of conscience and religion under the guise of promoting “healthcare.”
David Daleiden, the undercover journalist who exposed Planned Parenthood’s trafficking of aborted baby parts, was ruthlessly attacked by California’s then-Attorney General lowlife/liar-Kamala Harris, but that was an effort continued by Xavier Becerra. Daleiden warns, “Becerra’s treatment of me shows exactly why he shouldn’t be put in charge of the Department of Health and Human Services. His record shows that he would abuse the power of this agency as a weapon in the culture war, wielding it on behalf of political allies like Planned Parenthood and against ‘enemies’ like the Little Sisters of the Poor and me. Most gravely, he would fail in HHS’s most basic responsibility to protect the lives and health of the tiniest Americans, instead exploiting them for experimental use and turning the clock back to old policies that say our children are more valuable dead than alive. We all deserve better.” ~The Patriot Post
DeSantis Leads the Way on Election Integrity
On February 22, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis became the most consequential politician in America.
That was the day America learned a majority of the justices serving on the U.S. Supreme Court are easily intimidated cowards whose refusal to even consider the unconstitutional machinations surrounding the 2020 elections has put this nation on the brink of complete lawlessness.
In his dissent, joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, Justice Clarence Thomas highlighted the pusillanimity of his fellow justices. “The Pennsylvania Legislature established an unambiguous deadline for receiving mail-in ballots: 8 p.m. on election day,” Thomas wrote in his dissent. “Dissatisfied, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended that deadline by three days. The court also ordered officials to count ballots received by the new deadline even if there was no evidence — such as a postmark — that the ballots were mailed by election day. … These cases provide us with an ideal opportunity to address just what authority nonlegislative officials have to set election rules, and to do so well before the next election cycle. The refusal to do so is inexplicable.”
Not inexplicable. Explicably and explicitly corrupt, and columnist C. Edmund Wright explains the tortured logic that enabled it. “Those trying to challenge Pennsylvania’s obviously corrupt and rigged election system have been told that they cannot challenge the laws ahead of the election, because there is not yet a victim,” he writes. “They’ve been told that fellow Americans impacted by Pennsylvania’s corrupt system cannot challenge, because of standing. Now they’ve been told that they cannot challenge after the election, because it’s after the election — and therefore moot.”
Columnist Michael Walsh was even more on point, describing the 2020 vote as a “free-for-all election in which you could vote without ID, vote months ahead of the election, vote days after the election, ‘cure’ your ballot if you made a ‘mistake,’ allow a complete stranger to ‘harvest’ your vote, and never have to prove provenance.”
He then sounded the ultimate warning: “One more election under these rules and the Republic is dead.”
Enter Governor DeSantis. As of now, the man who appears to be one of the precious few Republican politicians with an ounce of testosterone has proposed a series of new initiatives designed to ensure at least one state in the nation conducts its elections with integrity. To wit:
Ballot Integrity
- Address the use of ballot drop boxes.
- Address ballot harvesting so that no person may possess ballots other than their own and their immediate family.
- No mass mailing of vote-by-mail ballots — only voters who request a ballot should receive a ballot.
- Vote-by-mail requests must be made each election year.
- Vote by mail ballot signatures must match the most recent signature on file.
Transparency in the Elections Process
- Political parties and candidates cannot be shut out from observing the signature matching process.
- Supervisors of Elections must post over-vote ballots to be considered by the canvassing board on their website before the canvassing board meets.
- Prohibits counties from receiving grants from private third-party organizations for “get out the vote” initiatives.
Transparency in Elections Reporting
- Requires real-time reporting of voter turnout data at the precinct level.
- Supervisors of Elections must report how many ballots have been requested, how many have been received, and how many are left to be counted.
Unsurprisingly, liar-Democrats and their media enablers framed these proposals as something that directly benefits DeSantis. South Florida’s Sun-Sentinel labeled them as “something that could help his election chances.” The Orlando Sentinel stated that DeSantis is “targeting voter registration.” Sarasota Herald-Tribune columnist John Kennedy insisted the governor is pushing “for an array of controversial changes” that would “likely help his party and his own reelection chances next year.”
State Senator Randolph Bracy (D-Orlando) agreed. “I hate to go here, but it looks partisan, it looks like there’s an effort to get a strategic advantage,” he asserted. “Knowing that Democrats overwhelmingly vote by mail … I feel it’s the elephant in the room.”
Daniel Smith, an elections “expert” at the University of Florida, went the “voter suppression” route. “If voters are sent a mail ballot, there’s a better chance they will vote,” Smith said. “Republicans don’t want that, the way it is now. So there’s no principle, it’s all partisanship driving that.”
When one is advocating “principles” whereby ballots are mailed out in massive quantities — whether requested or not — some context is necessary. In 2020, Maria Matthews, director of the state Division of Elections, testified in federal court that while as many as 85,000 voters might be ineligible to cast ballots, it could take years to process that data.
More context? When scumbag/liar-Eric Holder was attorney general, he made a career out of preventing voter rolls from being cleaned up. In fact, at a 2009 meeting of the Voting Rights Section, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes made it clear exactly where the department stood on the issue. “We have no interest in enforcing this provision of the law,” she stated. “It has nothing to do with increasing turnout, and we are just not going to do it.”
Flash-forward to 2021, and there’s every indication socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s nominee for attorney general, Judge Merrick Garland, won’t be any better. Consider this exchange between him and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) at Garland’s confirmation hearing:
Lee: “Do you believe that efforts to purge voter rolls of individuals who have either died or have left the state in question or to require voter identification are racially discriminatory and an assault on voting rights?”
Garland: “This one is one I can’t answer yes or no because you’re asking about motivations of individuals, some of whom may have discriminatory purpose and some of whom have no discriminatory purpose.”
Really? Removing dead and ineligible voters from voting rolls might be discriminatory if the motive for doing so isn’t sufficiently “pure”? According to whom? Moreover, the phoniest — and most racist — trope promulgated in America is the Left’s insistence that people of color are fundamentally incapable of procuring the same ID and being the same fully informed and technologically capable citizens as every other group of Americans.
Yet it is precisely that trope the Left will use to bludgeon weak-kneed Republicans more terrified of being labeled a bigot than losing the republic via election fraud.
DeSantis isn’t one of them. “Last November, Florida held the smoothest, most successful election of any state in the country,” DeSantis said in a statement announcing his proposals. “While we should celebrate this feat, we should not rest on our laurels. Today, we are taking action to ensure that Florida remains a leader on key issues regarding our electoral process, such as ballot integrity, public access to election information, transparency of election reporting and more. By strengthening these election integrity protections, we will ensure that our elections remain secure and transparent, and that Florida’s electoral process remains a blueprint for other states to follow.”
It’s a blueprint Republicans ignore at their peril — or quite possibly their extinction. ~The Patriot Post
The GOP's Alternative Minimum Wage
Republican Senators scumbag/rino-Mitt Romney of Utah and Tom Cotton of Arkansas have announced a plan to raise the federal minimum wage that they claim will meet the needs of lower-income workers without harming small businesses and killing jobs. An important part of the calculation is that the scumbag/rino-Romney-Cotton plan will also make the E-Verify system mandatory, ensuring that workers are legal.
The two senators propose to raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour by 2025, then peg that wage to inflation for automatic adjustments every two years. They arrived at the $10 number after consulting a 2019 wage report by the Congressional Budget Office that found a $10 minimum wage was less likely to cost jobs. According to CBO estimates, phasing in a $10 minimum wage over five years would cost approximately 100,000 jobs on the high end, with a median estimate of virtually no job loss at all. Many states — especially the most populous ones — already have minimums at or above $10 an hour.
The same CBO estimate found that a $15 minimum wage phased in over the same time frame, which is the current liar-Democrat plan, would cost anywhere from 1.3 million to 3.7 million jobs. Only three states have wages at or higher than $13 an hour. The liar-Democrat wage-hike plan also does not include pinning the wage to inflation, and it certainly doesn’t make E-Verify mandatory.
“Our legislation would raise the floor for workers without costing jobs,” scumbag/rino-Romney said in a statement, “and automatically increase the federal minimum wage every two years to match the rate of inflation. Additionally, our bill would protect American jobs by requiring employers to use E-Verify to ensure that businesses cannot hire illegal immigrants.”
The liar-Democrat plan isn’t nearly as economically sound as what Republicans have offered in large part because liar-Democrats don’t really care about American business. liar-Democrat Representative Ro Khanna (People’s Republic of California) proclaimed any business that can’t afford to pay $15 an hour shouldn’t exist. Such contempt for America’s small business owners to go along with ignorance of simple economics is par for the course in the modern liar-Democrat Party, and the leftist hardliners will surely push back against the scumbag/rino-Romney-Cotton proposal as not being high enough to “help” low-wage workers. The fact that millions of those people will not be able to get a job precisely because of a minimum wage that is too high is apparently beside the point.
The mandatory E-Verify provision will of course make the scumbag/rino-Romney-Cotton plan a nonstarter with Democrats, but also with some businesses. E-Verify, which allows businesses to confirm the legal status of immigrants they hire, is currently a voluntary system. It is deeply unpopular with some businesses, and a number of employers have steadfastly refused to use it. However, if it does become mandatory, use of E-Verify will stabilize the labor market and protect jobs for American citizens. It will also help reduce illegal immigration since jobs are often what bring people across the border.
There may be room to debate the exact size of the minimum wage hike, if the class-warfare liar-Dems can be kept in their box. That’s a big if, but some Senate liar-Democrats, like Joe Manchin of West Virginia, have signaled that the $15 minimum wage may be too high. With an evenly divided Senate, there will have to be some give and take if any progress is to be made. Mandatory E-Verify, though, is likely dead in the water.
socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden appears determined to open up the borders and go back to the scumbag/liar-nObama-era come-one, come-all immigration policy. The illegal immigrants he plans to let flood into the country will need jobs, and compelling employers to check the status of immigrant employees runs counter to that. It can never be said enough, however, that unbridled immigration puts downward pressure on wages and makes jobs tougher to come by for working citizens.Of course, the federal minimum wage ought not to even exist, but the scumbag/rino-Romney-Cotton plan at least offers a reasonable solution that reduces the harm to business while protecting American workers. For these reasons, liar-Democrats will surely fight against it because they are more interested in political victory than long-term economic stability. ~The Patriot Post
Fox News Is in the Left's Crosshairs
“If you talk to journalists who cover Washington,” said Fox News’s Brit Hume, “you won’t find many who are pro-life, you won’t find very many who are environmental movement skeptics, you won’t find very many who think that the NRA’s anything other than a menace. You will find very few who are Republicans, and you won’t find very many who are self-acknowledged conservatives. It’s just not there.”
He didn’t say that yesterday, though. Or last week. Or last month. He said it in 2004, in Scott Collins’s book, Crazy Like a Fox: The Inside Story of How Fox News Beat CNN.
We call your attention to this simply to illustrate just how little has changed in 17 years. And to illustrate the insatiable desire of the Left to destroy any and all dissent, even when the deck is stacked supremely in its favor. Again, leftists don’t want to discuss or argue or defeat dissent in the marketplace of ideas — they want to summarily eliminate it.
A few years earlier, Thomas Jefferson described those “who would wish to dissolve this Union” as “monuments of safety with which the error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.” Which is apparently an 18th-century way of saying, Dissenters are welcome so long as they can be vigorously engaged. And who can argue with him?
Well, the Left, that’s who.
“What steps did you take prior to, on and following the Nov. 3, 2020, elections and the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks to monitor, respond to and reduce the spread of disinformation, including encouragement or incitement of violence by channels your company disseminates to millions of Americans?” That’s the partial text of a letter penned by liar-Democrat Representatives Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney to major cable providers such as Comcast, Verizon, and Cox, and to digital companies including Roku, Apple, and Hulu. As The Washington Times reports, “House liar-Democrats are pressuring cable TV providers and online streaming companies to purge conservative media outlets from their platforms or at the very least do more to censor content they deem fake and misleading.”
More to the point, Eshoo and McNerney ask, “Are you planning to continue carrying Fox News, OANN and Newsmax on your platform both now and beyond the renewal date? If so, why?”
Yikes. These people are sick. And just think: They were actually elected to office by our fellow Americans. Admittedly, though, they both represent districts in California, and we know how well that’s working out.
Jonathan Turley, professor at The George Washington University Law School, spoke during the committee’s hearing on the subject of disinformation in the media. (“Disinformation” is, increasingly, the term used by the Left to describe speech with which it doesn’t agree — and the term it’s using to label Fox, Newsmax, and OANN as a menace to society.)
The hearing can be viewed here, and Hurley’s five-minute opening remarks, which begin at the 40:25 mark, are worth listening to. “As evident in my writings,” he begins, “I maintain what was once a mainstream view of free speech: that the greatest protection against bad speech is more speech. That view is admittedly under fire, and indeed may be a minority view today. But history has shown that public and private forms of censorship do not produce better speech. It is rather a self-replicating, self-perpetuating path that that only produces more censorship and more controlled speech.”
Regarding the letter from Eshoo and McNerney, he pulled no punches. “To be honest, from the perspectives of free speech and the free press, the letter is not just chilling; it’s positively glacial.”
Hurley then quoted a classical liberal, Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, an FDR appointee who some 70 years ago warned, “Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us.”
Professor Hurley closed by doubling down on Justice Douglas’s warning: “Some of the measures being discussed this week have the potential to defeat us all.” Indeed, they do, and conservatives had best defeat those attempts to silence millions of voices before it’s too late.

ChiCom socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe and the Appeasers
“There is a rank due to the United States, among nations, which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war.” —George Washington (1793)
As anticipated, the socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden/ lowlife/liar-Harris regime is rapidly undoing the strong “America First” Middle East foreign policy achievements of former President Donald Trump, as socialist/ scumbag/liar-Joe Biden’s handlers are resurrecting Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s failed foreign policy of appeasement.
That was evident last week with socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s declaration, “We’re prepared to reengage in negotiations with the P5+1 on Iran’s nuclear program.” That is a reference to the disastrous Iran “nuke deal” cut by scumbag/liar-nObama’s secretaries of state, hanoi-John Kerry and scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton.
And there is additional evidence that hanoi-Kerry and socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s current special envoy on Iran policy, Robert Malley, were “negotiating” with Iran, undermining the Trump administration’s policies. On that, Mark Dubowitz, head of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank, observed, “It is not good practice for senior officials who served at the highest levels of a former administration, liar-Democratic or Republican, to be trying to undermine the policy of a sitting administration by engaging actively with a known enemy of the United States.”
Of course, hanoi-Kerry has a sordid history of providing “aid and comfort” to our enemies, starting with his 1970 meetings with NVA Communists in Paris — in direct violation of the UCMJ’s Article 104 part 904 and U.S. Code 18 U.S.C. 953 — while Nixon administration officials were negotiating a peace settlement with the NVA. He should have been prosecuted for that unlawful conduct.
The consequences of socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s current appeasement with Iran are dire. Recall that scumbag/liar-nObama’s appeasement gave rise to the Islamic State, which led to a humanitarian crisis of historic proportions. Get ready for more of the same.
That notwithstanding, of much greater significance to our national security, socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s appeasement model with Iran forebodes a far more dangerous reversal of policies — those with the Red Chinese communists.
socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s first kowtow and bow to China’s dictator, Xi Jinping, was his executive order to reverse Trump’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization, a corrupt ChiCom puppet organization. China was complicit with the WHO in its cover-up of the origins of the catastrophic China Virus, which, as socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden noted this week, now accounts for more than 500,000 American fatalities.Furthermore, at the recent G-7 summit, socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden announced that the U.S. has officially reentered the dubious Paris climate agreement, ostensibly to retard “climate change.” According to socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden: “We can no longer delay or do the bare minimum to address climate change. This is a global existential crisis. As of today, the United States is officially once again party to the Paris Agreement, which we helped put together.”
It took the Trump administration almost four years to extricate the U.S. from this bogus agreement, but it took socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden mere weeks to fully reenter it. The biggest beneficiary of this boondoggle: China.
Trump was the first president in decades to actually take on China — both the unfair trade issues and the national security threat posed by the ChiComs. socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden’s appeasement model is the perennial Beltway political and Foggy Bottom foreign policy model, so it’s no surprise that socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden, approaching his sixth decade as a swamp creature, would be reverting to that posture with China.
It has been argued by some political analysts that the “Big Guy’s” corrupt influence-peddling scheme with the ChiComs, arranged by Hunter Biden and subsequently subject to a massive media blackout just ahead of the presidential election, is indicative of Biden’s being beholden to the ChiComs. Thus, his appeasement.
To be sure, there is a double standard regarding the liar-Democrat Party’s fake “Russia collusion” narrative in support of their attempted deep-state coup to take Trump down, and the subsequent impeachment charade with the same objective. The Demos endeavored to convict Trump for what socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden actually did in Ukraine.
However, I think it is actually indicative of socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden’s indifference to — and consequently appeasement of — the global military and economic threat China poses to the United States. scumbag/liar-nObama bowed to Chinese dictator Hu Jintao, but socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden is kissing Xi Jinping’s ring.
No question that the real winner of the last presidential election is its greatest beneficiary, the Red Chinese government — the most perilous threat to the United States.
In 2019, socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden insisted, “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man. … I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks.” Now socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden says, “I was on the phone for two straight hours with Xi Jinping. … If we don’t get moving, they’re going to eat our lunch.”
In socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s bumbling recollection of that recent phone call with Xi, he explained: “Chinese leaders — if you know anything about Chinese history — the time when China has been victimized by the outside world is when they haven’t been unified at home. Vastly overstated. The central principle of Xi Jinping is that there must be a united, tightly controlled China — and he uses his rationale for the things he does based on that.”
socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden continued: “I point out to him no American president can be sustained as a president if he doesn’t reflect the values of the United States. And so the idea I’m not going to speak out against what he’s doing in Hong Kong, what he’s doing with the Uyghurs in the western mountains of China and Taiwan, trying to end the One China policy by making it forceful, I said [unintelligible gibberish] he gets it. Culturally there are different norms that each country and their leaders [sic] are expected to follow.”Political analyst Scott Johnson, who kindly refers to socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden as “the gentleman from Madame Tussauds,” noted, “This [is] an incredibly rich text illustrating socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s ‘thought’ … the cultural relativism that lies at the core of liar-Democratic orthodoxy. China has their thing and we have ours. Their thing involves tyranny and abuse of human rights. Our thing involves the condemnation of same.”
Actually, I think that Madame Tussauds’ wax figures are more lucid than socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden.
socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden and his president-in-waiting, lowlife/liar-Kamala Harris, have an outstanding model for how to deal with China — the model established by the Trump administration under the foreign policy leadership of former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.As National Review’s Dan McLaughlin notes: “On Joe socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s first day in office, the People’s Republic of China decided to settle scores individually with people who worked in the Trump administration by announcing that 28 members of the outgoing administration would be personally sanctioned for ‘crazy moves which have gravely interfered in China’s internal affairs,’ primarily meaning that the Trump administration called out ongoing Chinese Communist Party human-rights abuses such as genocide, concentration camps, and slavery.”
According to China, “They include Michael R. Pompeo, Peter K. Navarro, Robert C. O'Brien, David R. Stilwell, Matthew Pottinger, Alex M. Azar II, Keith J. Krach, and Kelly D. K. Craft of the Trump administration as well as John R. Bolton. … These individuals and their immediate family members are prohibited from entering the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao of China.”
That is tantamount to an endorsement of the policies crafted and advocated by each of those Trump administration officials, but not the policies of the appeasers.
Former Defense Secretary and CIA Director Robert Gates famously wrote that socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden “has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” If the early days of his presidency are any indication, Biden will continue the trend in spades.
As Mike Pompeo warned just before the socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden/ lowlife/liar-Harris regime took office, the ChiComs are “inside the gates.”
Finally, Senior Stanford Fellow and historian Victor Davis Hanson asks a very consequential question: “Is the socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden administration stumbling into war?” ~The Patriot Post

State legislatures, take note: Americans have legitimate concerns over election integrity, as amply demonstrated by the many proven instances of voter fraud that we continue to add to The Heritage Foundation’s Election Fraud Database.
These vulnerabilities within the electoral process need to be addressed as soon as possible.
The right to self-government depends on free and fair elections. We should have zero toleration for actions that interfere with the choices of voters at the ballot box.
Heritage’s database catalogs 1,311 cases of voter fraud, one of the most recent occurring during the 2020 election.
In that case, Michigan resident Paul Parana pleaded guilty to one count of impersonating someone else to vote in an election. Authorities said Parana filled out and signed an absentee ballot on behalf of his daughter. He was sentenced to 90 days of probation and ordered to pay $1,100 in fines and court costs.
Another case arose out of the May special election in Paterson, New Jersey, for the Ward 3 seat on the City Council. A superior court judge overturned the election results due to serious questions about the validity of “mail-in votes.”
The special election had been conducted completely by mail, and allegations of an absentee ballot trafficking scheme and fraud began to surface shortly after the results were tabulated.
Judge Ernest Caposela concluded that the election was “not the fair, free, and full expression of the intent of the voters.”
Shockingly, officials rejected 24.3% of all ballots, compared with the county’s average rejection rate of around 9% in past elections.
The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office has been investigating the origins of the voter fraud in Paterson. Police have made four arrests in connection with the alleged scheme. The four, all presumed innocent at this stage, include council member Michael Jackson, council member-elect Alex Mendez, Shelim Kahlique, and Abu Razyen.
Another case from New Jersey involves a noncitizen voting in the 2004 general election. Cristobal Calix, a Honduran citizen who is a legal U.S. resident, registered and voted at least 14 times between 1984 and 1996, authorities say.
Calix eventually was held to be removable when he applied for citizenship and admitted that he had voted illegally in past elections without being caught.
In Wisconsin, authorities say Chad Armstrong, a convicted felon, voted in the 2018 election despite being ineligible under state law. As part of a plea bargain, Armstrong pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and spent five days in jail.
In West Virginia, authorities said Morgantown City Council candidate Timothy Metz forged signatures on his petition to get on the ballot for the 2019 election. In investigating, the West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office found that Metz forged 21 signatures, including that of a deceased voter.
Metz dropped out of the council race after admitting he “cut corners” to collect his signatures, authorities said. In exchange for pleading guilty to a felony charge, he was permitted to enter a pretrial diversion program with 24 months of supervised probation.
Pennsylvania’s special election in 1993 for state Senate, recently added to the database, highlights what can happen when political operatives and campaigns subvert the will of the people to steal an election.
A state senator’s unexpected death created an even split between Republican and liar-Democratic legislators in Pennsylvania, raising the stakes for the ensuing special election since it would decide which party would control the state Senate.
Authorities said campaign workers, including Barbara Landers and Ramon Pratt, engaged in a massive absentee ballot scheme in an effort to elect their preferred candidate, William Stinson, the liar-Democratic nominee for the Senate seat.
Campaign workers, primarily targeting black and Hispanic districts, coerced voters to request and vote using absentee ballots. To do so, they falsely claimed to residents — many of whom could not understand the English instructions on the ballots — that a new law allowed them to vote absentee for any reason.
Prosecutors said election officials colluded with the Stinson campaign by giving campaign workers absentee ballots and applications to take to voters.
Stinson campaign workers would tell voters to vote the straight liar-Democratic ticket or tell them who to select, and, in some cases, fill out ballots and forge voters’ signatures. Campaign workers were paid one dollar for every completed application and absentee ballot submitted.
District Judge Clarence C. Newcomer invalidated over 600 absentee ballots from the districts in question. Newcomer concluded widespread fraud was facilitated by the involvement and complicity of two liar-Democratic city commissioners in Philadelphia and an elections supervisor in Philadelphia County.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas recently referred to the case in his dissent in Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Degraffenreid.
Or take this example from Texas: Adrian Heath and an organized group of nine others falsely registered a Residence Inn hotel as their home address, in a district in which they did not live.
Authorities said Heath and the others wanted to falsely establish residency so that they could vote in an attempt to gain control of a local utility board. Heath served just under six months for the crime of voting illegally.
Voters deserve integrity in every step of the process, and states should prioritize fixing vulnerabilities in their laws to ensure fair and free elections. ~The Patriot Post
