Biden Starting the New Week on the Wrong Foot

Fallout from the volcanic explosion in Tonga Joe's bad, very, very bad week continues. Anxious anxiously whines about Biden's epic failures. Brooke Rollins at Am Mind calls it Failing as Predicted. From Town Hall, Everything Is Worse Under Biden. I'll let you guess the author.

The stink of Biden's failure permeates the land, reeking intensely not unlike Eric Swalwell’s Volvo with the windows shut tight on a hot day on the way home from a double-bean chili feed at Fang Fang’s condo. Welcome to the malaise, kids.

At WaEx, Salena Zito calls his recent speech The moment Joe Biden finally lost his credibility. From the Guardian, The Biden administration has failed its Covid test and just about everything else, too. Mitt Romney! piles on from WaEx, Mitt Romney: Biden has had '52 weeks of bad weeks' and from Da Hill, Romney: I never got a call from White House to discuss voting rights.

Sauron's Eye, Biden at year one: Not enough focus on inflation leaves many frustrated  Sundance at CTH presents some Sunday Talks, CBS Outlines Collapsed Support for Biden Regime, But Purposefully Ignore One Central Component of Their Own Poll. Andrea Widburg at Am Think thinks A CBS News poll has just devastating results for Biden and his team. At Da Wire, Poll: Voters ‘Frustrated’ With Biden Ignoring Economy, Inflation, Focusing On Issues They ‘Don’t Care About’. MSN, Half in new poll say they're frustrated with Biden's presidency. NewsWeek, Only 6% of Biden Voters Think Things Are Going Very Well in America. Even AllahPundit at Haut Hair is disappointed, Americans to Biden: You're focusing on the wrong things, damn it. KT at Haut Hair, MLK III family rally in Arizona targeted Sinema over her position on the filibuster. Atop Da Hill, Carville advises Democrats to 'quit being a whiny party' but at Breitbart,  ZOA Urges Immediate Resignation of Florida Democrat Nikki Fried over ‘Sick, Demented’ Hitler-DeSantis Comparison

Athena Thorn at PJ Media, Wisconsin Judge Rules Ballot Drop Boxes Used in 2020 Election Were Illegal.  From Da Hill, Clyburn says election reform bills 'may be on life support' but aren't dead, but at Behind the Black Robert Zimmerman (no, not that Robert Zimmerman) notes House Democrats attempt end-around of filibuster to pass election law using NASA bill: IIRC, the same technique used for Obamacare.

A bill initially written to give authorization to NASA lease its property to others and and passed by the Senate has been stripped entirely of that language by House Democrats and replaced with their proposal to federalize elections nationwide.
H.R. 5746 was introduced in October by Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.), chair of the House Science Committee’s space subcommittee. The bill extended NASA’s authorization to enter into what are known as enhanced use leases, or EULs, of agency property to companies, government agencies, or educational institutions, for 10 years. The House passed the bill by a voice vote Dec. 8.

The Senate amended the bill, extending the EUL authorization by only three months instead of 10 years, and passed it by unanimous consent, sending it back to the House.

The Democratic leadership of the House, in an unusual move, then took the Senate-amended bill and stripped out the NASA provisions, replacing it with the text of two voting rights bills and now called the “Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.” They did so because H.R. 5746 had already passed the House and Senate, so the amended version could go directly to the Senate floor without the threat of a filibuster from Senate Republicans, who oppose the voting rights legislation. [emphasis mine]
The level of corruption exhibited by this Democratic Party action is beyond words. The Senate approved one bill. The House Democrats have now turned it into another bill that the Senate did not vote on initially.

At Da Caller, Doocy Presses Psaki On Biden Vilifying Republicans, She Ends Response By Cheering For Football Team, White responds by cutting him out the the transcript? At Da Wire, White House Appears To Cut Out Remarks From Fox News Reporter In Official Transcript Of Press Briefing. NYPo notes how Biden keeps twisting facts about American history to serve his agenda. He's long been one of the worst liars (in both senses) in American politics; would we expect less now?

Politico whines that Harris pushed hard for voting rights — then hit a brick wall, "The VP’s work was more extensive than known. But legislative paths appear closed." The Babylon Bee, Kamala Harris So Disliked Nation Considering Hillary Clinton. But seriously folks, at NYPo, Ex-Clinton adviser says there’s ‘good chance’ of 2024 Hillary/Trump rematch; At Da Mail, 'Good chance' Hillary WILL run in 2024 if Biden loses Congress in midterms, former top advisor to Bill Clinton says (Dick Morris); and Doris O'Brian at Am Think warns You Have Been Warned: Hillary is Back. A wooden stake and a mouth full of garlic might do it.

Fox Reports Trump delivers what sounds like a 2024 stump speech at his first rally of 2022. AZ Central, Trump resumes attacks on Biden, Ducey in combative Arizona appearance. AZ Sun Times, Trump Salutes Maricopa County Audit, Atty. Gen. Brnovich, Teases AT&T Boycott at 45K-Strong Arizona Rally. Mediaite whines Trump Fumes at ‘Woke Executives’ Pulling OAN from DirecTV, Floats Call of a Boycott Against DirecTV Parent Co. AT&T. At WaPoo, Paul Waldman opines Trump’s Arizona project shows the dire threat to American democracy

So, Glenn Youngkin has barely been sworn in as Governator of Virginia, and he's already giving the Democrats a case of the fantods. Twitchy, Mary Katharine Ham OWNS NBC harpy flipping OUT over Glenn Youngkin empowering parent CHOICE with student masking in kick-a*s thread.  At PM, Glenn Youngkin bans critical race theory, ends mask mandates in schools on first day as Virginia governor. At LI, As First Action In Office, VA Governor Glenn Youngkin Signs Order “Ending The Use Of … Critical Race Theory” In Public K-12, "Will the EO be effective? That remains to be seen, but it sets a tone and direction for K-12." It can only be effective if he has punishment to offer. At Da Caller, Gov. Youngkin Signs 11 Executive Orders During First Day In Office. At Breitbart, Ralph Northam: Critical Race Theory ‘Nothing More than a Dog Whistle’; Says ‘Not Being Taught’ in Virginia K-12. It's not being taught as a theory, it's being taught as a fact. Wa Free Bee reminds us Gov. Blackface Pardons Perv: Northam Absolves Democrat Jailed for Underage Sex Crimes in Final Act as Governor. What is it with Democrats and pedophiles? 

Speaking of Governators, ours is playing coy, on Da Hill, Hogan won't say if he will file to run for Senate by Feb. 22 deadline

Wa Free Bee sees  Senators Demand Cardona Explain Role in Letter That Called Parents Domestic Terrorists, "Emails show education secretary requested controversial letter to Biden." Robert Busek at Am Spec, Has Secretary Cardona Declared an Unwinnable War on American Parents? "Education secretary Miguel Cardona seems to be competing with Attorney General Merrick Garland in having school board critics bullied as “domestic terrorists.”" AP Dillon, Wake County Democrat tweet includes image disparaging parents, "Image decpicts the public and parents engaged in education issues as conspiracy theorists, white supremacists, anti-vax, and Jan. 6 protesters."Althouse catches WaPoo taking interest in a school board election in rural Washington, "I’m not what people assume that I am. I love the fact that I’m different, and maybe that makes me scary to some, but I don’t know, I’m not this gun-toting, right-wing extremist that they all think I am."
Said Ashley Sova, quoted in "A rural Washington school board race shows how far-right extremists are shifting to local power/The establishment candidate thought she was a shoo-in, but she hadn’t contended with the home-schooling, anti-masking member of the far-right Three Percent movement" (WaPo).

Ann in the comments  "Now, in this case, I went to the end of the article to get what I thought was bloggable. The entire top of the article was designed to make Sova seem untouchably toxic, so that triggered me to look for what they tucked away at the bottom."

Jordan Boyd at Da Fed Reports Federal Court Won’t Back Down After Sanctioning Russia Hoax Lawyer Marc Elias For Deceiving Judges. Elias is also neck deep in the attempt to use Jan. 6 as an excuse to black ball Republican candidate. 

Elias is infamous for using deception, lies, and money to meddle with U.S. elections and push Democrats to the top. Not only did Elias fund the discredited Steele Dossier designed to hurt Donald Trump in 2016, but he helped coordinate and design the Democrat-financed effort to change hundreds of election laws in the months leading up to the 2020 election.

On the Jan. 6 front, WaPoo reports Jan. 6 panel split on tactics. Some want to go straight to beheadings, others want a show trial first. Also WaPoo  whines As Jan. 6 case grows, Justice yet to zero in on Trump. "The Justice Dept. alleged Jan. 6 was a seditious conspiracy. Now will it investigate Trump?" Capt. Ed at Haut Hair warns of "Senate Dems' midterm wish: A DoJ indictment of Trump?" 'Wolf Howling' at Am Think accuses The Democrats of Attempting A Coup By Lawfare and John Green wonders Is Ray Epps the Key?. There's certainly something fishy there. Dan Brophy at Am Great knows Liz Cheney’s True Constituents, "Someone who can raise hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars with a few phone calls will harbor loyalty to D.C. interests, not to Wyoming voters."

Nick Arama at Red State sees Biden Supporter Makes Trouble at Trump Rally, but She Immediately Has Cause to Regret It

She was walking around, trying to incite the crowd and get a reaction, while a security guy followed her, trying to prevent things from getting out of hand. Someone took her sign, but then in response, she swiped a sign from a booth. She then insisted to the security guard that she wouldn’t give the sign she swiped back until he got her the other sign back, as she held the swiped sign between her legs. She kept insisting she had a “First Amendment right.”

But you don’t have a First Amendment right to swipe a sign and you don’t have a First Amendment right to disturb the peace. She needs a lesson in the Constitution. She then went over the line and threatened to punch the security guard. That’s when he signaled to the police. It didn’t end well for her.

Rick Moran at PJ Media, In the News: Civil War Is Coming … Again … or Not. War by other means PM reports  Twitter suspends J6 defendants' attorney's account with no reason given, "Twitter has suspended the account of Marina Medvin, who represents January 6 defendants, from the platform, giving no reason as to why." No reason needed. Just a warning shot.

Update: Marina Medvin's received a message that read "Our support team has reviewed your account and it appears we made an error. We've determined there was no violation and have restored your account to full functionality." The email apologized for the "inconvenience." But the account remains inaccessible.

  Twitter delenda est.
