For some reason, the Oregon man who pranked the Bidens into agreeing with "Let's go, Brandon" is still in the top spot. From Fox, Mainstream media fume over dad saying 'Let's go, Brandon' to Biden: 'Vulgar,' 'right-wing slur', "Media refers to phrase as 'vulgar insult' and 'right-wing slur'" A bit like saying "Oh fudge!" "Shoot!" or "Darn it!", you know, stuff even your mother let you get away with. Ace woke up and noticed the Bloodthirsty Media Doxes Man Who Said "Let's Go Brandon" To Biden
Because of course they did. You're not allowed to insult leftwingers.
What could possibly justify this? Well, the media has decided that insulting Brandon is a "slur" -- you know, like a racial slur.
Is "slur" used in any other context any longer?
Once he was doxed, there was no need to stay hidden, so of course, he was interviewed by Steve Bannon. PM, Father who pranked Biden with 'Let's Go Brandon' call slams cancel culture, leftist mob in Steve Bannon interview. Nick Arama at Red State highlights that the Dad Who Pranked Joe Biden Says It's Important to 'Voice Disapproval' AllahPundit at Haut Hair doesn't appear to agree, Dad who told Biden "Let's go, Brandon": Trump is my president and the election was 100% stolen
Fox, 2021: The year Biden's approval ratings sank slowly underwater, "Biden started his presidency with positive poll numbers but ends 2021 in negative territory" or as Breitbart puts it, Poll: Joe Biden’s Job Approval Crashes to 36 Percent. Fox again, Joe Biden was the most powerful man in the world as it fell apart around him in 2021. "Biden's first year in office marred by disastrous Afghanistan exit, record inflation, COVID-19 surge." About that later one, after saying Trump should not be kept in office after 200,000 WuFlu casualties, then accruing 400,000 Joe had a belated realization that the Federal Government is not responsible. Bonchie at Red State, Joe Biden Publicly Admits Defeat on COVID-19 -- and Somehow Manages to Even Screw That Up and Joe Biden's Surrender on COVID Gets More Embarrassing After the Receipts Emerge. Ever the Biden apologist, AllahPundit makes excuses in Now he tells us: There's no federal solution to COVID, says Biden
All he’s doing, as I understand him, is acknowledging that state and local health-care systems ultimately have the burden of caring for COVID patients. The feds don’t, by and large. (The VA is a notable exception.) He was making a rhetorical concession in response to Hutchinson’s plea: Of course we’ll keep state priorities in mind, Biden’s saying, since the states are the ones with the awesome responsibility of actually treating the sick. It’s less “the buck stops there” than “all levels of government need to coordinate with each other to optimize outcomes for Americans.” In context, his “get out of the way” message to red-state governors this past summer doesn’t contradict that. It was a complaint that figures like DeSantis weren’t coordinating with the feds’ tactics to slow the spread.
Althouse catches Kamala's verbal tic Kamala, actually. From the transcript of Kamala Harris on "Face the Nation" yesterday, using the word 12 times.
It's quite obvious that the word as she's using it has the opposite effect of its literal meaning. She must want to stress the reality and practicality of what she's saying, but it undercuts her credibility. It's the equivalent of asserting "I'm telling the truth," over and over. Who does that? Someone who's insecure about her believability. A good liar would know better. A secure truth-teller wouldn't run into the problem in the first place.
Outkick hears Joe Rogan Predict Michelle Obama Would Beat Donald Trump Easily in the 2024 Election. Maybe, but I think she would rather be royalty without the work. Da Beast explains Why 2022 Could Be ‘The Year of the Political Comeback’. Wishful thinking from the Peacock, Trump's 2020 fixation is putting him at odds with some of his biggest fans, "Anger over the election animated local GOP chapters in tangible ways this year. Now, some see issues like inflation and education as being of greater interest." John Solomon at JTN, After Trump gains with Hispanics, GOP fortunes accelerating with America's biggest minority, "Republican are now even with Democrats for the first time in polling among Latino voters." I think dumping Trump would hurt that trend.
Da Hill lists what it thinks are The 10 races that will decide the Senate majority. They couldn't narrow it to fewer than this? Wa Free Bee, Americans Fled Blue States for Red States in Massive Numbers in 2021, Census Finds "California, Illinois, and New York on the decline. Florida, Idaho, and Texas on the rise." A mixed blessing, as the immigrants often continue to vote for the same policies that resulted in disasters in their original states. Trust me, I was a Californian who moved to Oregon, and saw it in real time. Capt. Ed at Haut Hair sees NYT's belated discovery that In Virginia, Winsome Sears is the GOP's messenger -- and message
Perhaps the concerns over the Democrats’ demographic problems have gotten serious enough to warrant semaphores from their media allies. The New York Times’ belated but balanced profile of Virginia’s new lieutenant governor Winsome Sears is as surprising as its timing. “I look like the strategy,” Sears tells the NYT about the GOP’s new plans to reach out to Democrats’ most loyal demographic bloc, and it’s coming at a time when Joe Biden has risked that loyalty with a series of overreaches and fumbles . . .
At Da Mail, Trump’s claim of over 5,000 ballots cast by dead people in Georgia is debunked by state's AG office after investigation found only FOUR - including woman who voted for Trump on behalf of dead husband. Now do Philadelphia, Baltimore and Chicago.
Matt Margolis at PJ Media, Prominent Dem Lawyer Predicts Lawsuits To Remove GOP Members From House Seats Next Year. Marc Elias, a prominent player in the Russiagate hoax. Insty responds, THERE WAS NEVER AN INSURRECTION. As predicted, from Salon, House Democrat calls for novel Jan. 6 commemoration: Expel GOP members who helped incite the attack "Rep. Cori Bush: Congress Should Mark Jan 6. by Expelling Members Who Helped Incite Attack" using a novel version of word "incite", where doubting the cleanliness of the election is considered incitement.
At WaPoo, Committee investigating Jan. 6 attack plans to begin a more public phase of its work in the new year. It's all battleground preparation for the 2022 election. From across the pond at the Guardian, Capitol panel to investigate Trump call to Willard hotel in hours before attack. Trump made a phone call? It must be illegal. They're not going to enjoy it when the shoe is on the other foot.
The redoubtable Julie Kelly at Am Great, Is the Whitmer ‘Kidnapping’ Case About to be Tossed? "At this point, perhaps the Justice Department should pray that the judge rules in favor of the defense and dismisses the case before the FBI is further embarrassed—and exposed." It's looking more and more like the plot to kidnap Whitmer was conceive, funded, and at least partially carried out by the FBI, under the same guy who was put in charge of the FBI in DC at on Jan 6. CNN hosts New Jan. 6 tape shows 3-hour battle in Capitol tunnel, but doesn't highlight the part where the Kap Kop repeatedly beats an unarmed woman on the head with his baton.
Don Surber wants to know Why isn't Michael Byrd on trial?
I ask an uncomfortable question. Why isn't Michael Byrd on trial? He shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during a mostly peaceful protest inside the Capitol on January 6.
Three trials this year beg this question.
The most recent trial ended last week when a jury convicted Kim Potter, who while a police officer shot and killed a driver who was trying to leave the scene after he was pulled over by the cops. Potter said she mistook her gun for a taser. While that may be true, nevertheless the jury found her guilty of first-degree and second-degree manslaughter.
The first of the three trials was of Derek Chauvin who was convicted of killing George Floyd. A drug user with a record of crimes, Floyd was higher than a kite. Chauvin, then a police officer, held him down awaiting putting him in jail. He blocked medical treatment. Floyd died later in custody. A jury convicted Chauvin of murder.
The third was the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse who shot and killed two rioters who attacked him, and wounded a rioter who pulled a gun on him. The jury found him innocent of all charges.
As a casual observer, I think jurors got all three verdicts right.
Which brings me to Byrd. Why should he not face a jury of his peers to determine whether his killing of Babbitt was murder?
. . .
We all know why Byrd won't stand trial. It's the same reason Hillary didn't and Hunter won't. They are part of the protected class. They are above the law. A Washington that blew millions on an investigation into a conspiracy theory about Russia that everyone knew was a lie won't spend 10 cents on real justice in these three cases.
I am not saying convict Byrd. I am saying try him, if only for the peace of mind of a nation that no longer can trust its federal government.
PM, The Daily Beast fabricated claim that armed rioter pretended to be BLM supporter, "24-year-old Ivan Harrison Hunter, of Boerne, Texas, admitted to firing 13 rounds from an "AK-47 style rifle" at the Third Precinct police building in Minneapolis during a BLM riot in May 2020." It appears he really was a BLM supporter. PM and Former Washington state Democrat campaigner sentenced for terrorist attack on railroad
A Washington state woman has been sentenced to a year in prison for sabotaging railroad tracks near the US-Canada border in Washington state in an attempt to derail a train carrying crude oil.
Ellen Brennan Reiche of Bellingham was sentenced Dec. 17 in US District Court in Seattle to 12 months and one day in prison for committing an act of violence against a railroad carrier. Reiche is also required to complete 100 hours of community service while on federal supervision.
. . .
Reiche, who identifies as "non-binary" and uses "they/them" pronouns, was the deputy field organizer for Washington State Democrats, according to their now-deleted LinkedIn profile.
