Too Many To Punish
The new representative for the idiots in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, Ilhan Omar has made headlines recently because of her anti-Semitic and anti-Israel blather. Many Republicans are complaining that since they punished Steve King for his bigotry, Omar should be penalized for hers. Silly Republicans, that ain’t going happen.
The problem is not only are the dems disinclined to punish Omar on general principle, the larger problems is that she is just one of many anti-Semitic, anti-Israel Democrats in office.
Even if they were motivated to do so, the party could never censure all of them.
She’s a Slippery One
Jake Tapper tried to pin down Kirsten Gillibrand’s hypocrisy for calling President Trump a racist for immigration policies she used to support. He asked a straightforward question, “Let me ask you if Trump’s immigration positions are racist, were they racist when you held some of those positions as well?” She answered by explaining why she changed her position without answering the question.
Tapper reworded the question and asked it again. “So, what’s the difference, though, just help me understand, between your previous positions, which you characterize as wrong and not empathetic, and President Trump’s positions today that you call racist?” Gillibrand “answered” by launching into an attack on Trump, seemingly saying that when Trump says it, it sounds meaner, and followed with an anti-Trump monolog that distorted the history of the Statue of Liberty and the Emma Lazarus poem, “The New Colossus (Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses…)
Charlie Daniels: His Other Voice
Charlie is well known for his great musical voice. The below is a statement by him that demonstrates his great patriotic voice.
The degree that the Schumer and Pelosi-led Democrats will go to prevent Donald Trump from having the promised wall is truly disgusting and appalling.
They say they want border security, but they sidestep the details, citing lofty pie-in-the-sky technology, drones and electronic sniffing devices, most of which have been on the job for years but have only detection and no deterrent properties against a couple of thousand determined illegals who rush in and overwhelm our border security.
Pelosi and Schumer, who never met a pro-abortion bill they didn’t like, now plead compassion for children, while the two wax figures who rebutted President Trump the other night showed about as much compassion as a rattlesnake – their cold, stiff, almost inhuman demeanor and appearance more closely resembling a cold-blooded apparition than a warm-blooded human being.
Pelosi says that a wall sends the wrong message, while what it actually does is send a message that America is a nation of laws, a nation in control, a nation whose sovereignty will not be violated by any and all who can traverse its porous borders.
What sends a wrong message is people who are supposed to be concerned with the security of the citizens of the nation who pay their salary and voluminous benefits and whose laws they have sworn to protect and enforce are saying to the world, “It’s alright. Come on in to America and reap our benefits and entitlements, enjoy our social welfare, use our medical system, and do it all free of charge. There are plenty of working fools who continue to put people like us in office to waste their hard-earned money.”
People, wake up! Do you think the likes of Pelosi, Schumer et al give a horse apple about anything but power? The ultimate goal of this diabolical duo is to naturalize millions of new Democrat voters, creating an unbeatable majority that wants to turn our nation into a godless, socialist purgatory

Texas, Have You No Shame?
Damn Texas, you elected her to office 13 times? And now this from the Washington Examiner:
Sheila Jackson Lee has long been considered the worst boss in Washington. The congresswoman has cycled through 11 different chiefs of staff in the last 11 years has been repeatedly deemed the “meanest” member of the House by the Washingtonian Examiner.
Looks like she has crossed the line into pure evil according to a lawsuit filed against her and the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.
The story is that Sheila, currently chairwoman of the CBCF, wrongfully fired and retaliated against a former female staffer for reporting a rape by a CBCF employee.
If the details in the suit are true — and there are text messages and a truly gruesome rape kit indicating that there’s at least something to it — then this could and should end Jackson Lee’s career.
For my part I doubt that the idiots that elected her to office could give a rats azz and will send her back. It is Texas after all.

An Old Vision: Aldous Huxley
” If you want to preserve your power indefinitely, you have to get the consent of the ruled”
– Aldous Huxley
Mike Wallace (remember him?) interviewed Huxley more than 60 years ago (1958) where he explained his vision of a future globalist/new world order nightmare.
In his book Brave New World, Huxley described an evil future where the entire world would live under dictatorship. This interview in 1958 foretells a future when presidential hopefuls use television to rise to power, technology takes over, drugs grab hold, and frightful dictatorships rule us all.

Lindsey, Return To What Works
At first I thought Lindsey Graham was a slow learner and would eventually realize that strength came from exhibiting a little backbone. Of late, however, I’ve come to think that his failing comes from a personal trait that influences him to attempt to solve problems. It is an admirable attribute but, unfortunately, it requires one to first identify the true problem. In terms of the shutdown over the southern border the problem is not the funding or some moral imperative, it’s raw quest for power by Nancy and Chuck.
Put on your big-boy panties Lindsey, show the same backbone you exhibited during the Kavanaugh hearings, and relish achieving what is best in life.

Karen’s Top 10
Karen Kataline has published another great article that jabs, ever so gently, at the mess our world has become. It’s below. Link to Karen’s site at Front Page here.
It’s time once again for those year-end lists when people rate everything from sports to literature. When it comes to politics and the bizarre notions from today’s Left, there is an embarrassment of riches from which to choose. Some of these ideas have hung around from the previous year and earlier because they haven’t been mocked and derided successfully by weak and wobbly Republicans.
Since Democrats had no federal legislative power in 2018, it was a banner year for advancing liberal language and cultural concepts. Make no mistake, whenever Democrats work to change our language today, it’s only the first step in their mission to change our policies tomorrow. Now that they are set to take control of the US House of Representatives, look for them to roll out those policies one after another.
Case in point: Jack Phillips of the Masterpiece Cake Shop is being persecuted because in 1992, voters thought it was kind to include “LGBT” in the list of groups protected by civil rights legislation. Even after unelected bureaucrats on the “Colorado Civil Rights Division” (CCRD) lost their case in the Supreme Court, they still believe they should have the authority to force Phillips to create a custom cake to celebrate a gender transition or be driven out of business.
You have to give the Left credit. They never act like they’re in the minority even when they are. Don’t you wish Republicans would take a lesson from them and act like they’re in the majority when they actually are?
Liberals regularly employ humor, mockery and derision with spectacular success while Republicans generally have an aversion to such tactics. In 2019, I hope more Republicans will plant and nurture their sense of humor and start putting the Left’s anti-reality ideas back where they belong—into the dustbin of spoof and sarcasm.
So without further ado, here are my favorite liberal nonsensical notions of 2018. Let the mockery begin!
10. “Gender Fluidity”
The Left has mounted a massive attack on basic gender reality. After mocking Republicans for being “anti-Science” on “climate change” they are celebrating their denial of X and Y chromosomes. On Colorado birth certificates, there are now four gender options to choose from: male, female, X and intersex. In Britain, children as young as 8 years old are being taught that boys can have periods too. “Transitions” from male to female are more celebrated than the reverse. What’s this all about? Let’s chalk it up to garden-variety misandry (hatred of men) and we’ll save more analysis for the New Year.
9. “Criticism of the media is an attack on the 1st Amendment.”
Jim Acosta actually declared that it was a threat to our 1st Amendment when President Trump exercised his 1st Amendment right to criticize them.
8. “Toxic Masculinity”
Because masculinity is and will always be a threat to socialism. (See “Gender
Fluidity”)
7. “White Privilege”
The first time you heard this, did you dismiss it as merely another load of liberal nonsense? It is, but it’s strategic and purposeful. This little ditty creates the perfect excuse to justify collective hatred toward people because of the color of their skin, by those who have been preaching tolerance and not to judge people because of the color of their skin. It’s brilliant really. How should we counter this? We could start by quoting Martin Luther King, since they don’t agree with him anymore: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
6. “Anti-Fascist” Fascists
This is the idea that fascists can be given a pass for using fascist tactics by branding the objects of their hatred as “fascists.” This is another derivative of projection at which the Left excels so predictably.
5. “Stripping for Equality”
This one combines the feminist abhorrence for objectifying women with the strategy of doing it to yourself before they can do it to you. One might think that exposing our obvious biological differences would make the case for scientific proof of gender differences but I’m sure that’s not what they have in mind.
4. “Safe” drug injection sites
This is a beaut and it’s coming to a city near you. Remember all the money spent on the “war on drugs?” Like most utopian-titled government monstrosities, it didn’t work. So Liberals are now advocating government-sanctioned “sites” where “people who inject IV drugs” can defy federal law and shoot up “safely.” You must not call them junkies as that might stigmatize them. Liberals save all their stigma for Republicans. For more on this, see: Making Suicidal Behavior “Safe”
3. “Victim Feminism”
From “I am woman, hear me roar,” to “I am woman, hear me whine.” Suddenly, Feminists have become the new puritans. In the service of their newest political agenda, they are shoving women back into gilded cages. Their main audience has no conception of history, so they are never mocked for this hypocritical about-face. That, and they don’t mind being hypocritical anyway.
2. “Intersectionality”
Another brilliant political tactic designed to claim moral superiority for what is actually intellectual laziness and the use of gross generalizations. (Didn’t liberals used to rail against that? Oh, never mind.) This encourages black civil rights activists to be as passionate about the environment and gay marriage as they are about race, and feminists to advocate in favor of men using women’s bathrooms.
1. The politics of “ists” and “obes.”
This of course, is the smear for all occasions. It can and will be used against you if you disagree with any of the preposterous ideas above. You don’t accept gay marriage? You’re a homophobe. You don’t agree with open borders? You’re a xenophobe. You dare to disagree with a black liberal even though they shred and destroy every black conservative? You of course, are a Racist! Racist! Racist!
How do you fight these ridiculous and ubiquitous ideas? First things first: Laugh!

Devoid of Reason
Morality
“Some have suggested a barrier is immoral. Then why do wealthy politicians build walls, fences and gates around their homes? They don’t build walls because they hate the people on the outside, but because they love the people on the inside. The only thing that is immoral is the politicians who do nothing and continue to allow more innocent people to be so horribly victimized,”

The Dangers of Good Intentions
“Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.”
