Flotsam and Jetsam - Democrats Seeing Red over Virginia Setback

Democrats are still in high dudgeon over their loss in the Virginia Supreme court, in their last minute attempt to redistrict from 6-5 D to 10-1 D, aka Abigail Spanberger’s Faceplant (Free Bacon). Matt Margolis at PJM hears Democrats Now Want to ABOLISH the Virginia Government, because they didn't like the results. The Democrats election lawyer, Marc E. Elias @marceelias, "VA Const. "whenever any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community hath an indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal." Fusilli Spock @awstar11, "Replacing the judiciary branch with a version that specifically agrees with your policies is certainly not something a fascist would do, right?" Quote RNC Research @RNCResearch "House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries proposes a nationwide radical takeover of the courts if Democrats gain power: "We're going to have to explore judicial 'reform' state by state and at the federal level...everything should be on the table as far as I'm concerned." Amy Curtis at TownHall hears Speaker Mike Johnson Calls Out Dems' for 'Stunning' Plan to Nuke Judicial Branch of Government and reminds them that NY started the midcycle redistricting war, not Texas. Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson, "House Democrats started the current mid-decade redistricting battle in NY before the 2024 election. Now that it’s backfired on them, they are pushing a stunning next step: nuke the judicial branch of government and pack the court! They are anarchists now." Bob Hoge at RedState In Nashville, Capitol Tantrums Come With a Bill — and Tennessee Dems Just Received It. Robby Starbuck @robbystarbuck, "Tennessee’s Speaker of the House @CSexton25 just removed elected Democrats from ALL committees due to their disruptive, disrespectful behavior during the session to redraw Tennessee’s congressional map. Good. They aren’t entitled to be on committees. Fantastic work @tnhousegop!" Ace is up! South Carolina's Legislature Will Delete C***s***er Jim Clyburn's Seat Tomorrow; Alabama Now Free to Eliminate One of Its Two Democrat Districts, "Alabama has two majority-minority districts due to unconstitutional racist and Democrat Protection Racket mandates. The Supreme Court just vacated a lower court ruling mandating the racially rigged districts, and Alabama will swiftly move to eliminate one of them," then down again, as South Carolina Dixiecrats Tank Effort to Gain a Congressional Seat, Voting With the Declared Democrats to Kill It, "Indiana redux." JR Dunn at Am Thinker thinks about Louisiana v. Callais and the Long Run, "If Republicans are wise, Louisiana v. Callais could be the kind of once-in-a-century Supreme Court decision that returns America to its constitutional roots."

Driscoll at Insty, ‘BE NICE TO ME:’ Dem CA Gov Hopeful Xavier Becerra Begs Reporter for Friendly Treatment, Exposes Entitlement. "Xavier Becerra was in the Biden Administration as the DHS Secretary. He was terrible at the job and did not keep the ‘homeland’ safe, in the least. Democrats fail up, so now he is running for the job of top executive in California. He sat down for a news interview and before they started, he wanted to be sure the journalist knew he expected a friendly interview and not a ‘gotcha’ interview. How does he expect to run a huge state when he’s afraid of a news interview? What a wimp!" Kevin Liao @KevinLiao_, "Everyone’s been wondering whether Xavier Becerra can withstand scrutiny. Take a look at this interview clip and judge for yourself." Ace, Obama's Oxygen Thief HHS Secretary, Xavier Becerra, Is Currently the Leading Democrat for California Governor and Cannot Answer Questions About His Record Without Begging for Mercy. "First, he wasn't able to answer questions about the 85,000 migrant children he lost while supposedly safeguarding them in the Biden Open Borders Regime. He claims they weren't "lost" at all. Merely, that when their "sponsors" were contacted to check up on the health and safety of the children, the sponsors didn't respond." Hat Hair's Beege Welborn, Mayorkas: Man, Somebody Shoulda Done Sumpthin' About That Border. Amazing. Leslie Eastman at LI, Spencer Pratt Vows to Bring in CDC to Rid Los Angeles Of ‘Medieval Diseases’, like Typhus. "You don’t need a federal task force to tell you that rats, refuse, and unchecked human misery are a breeding ground for disease. You simply need the political will to stop pretending this is normal."

At Hat Hair, John Sexton sees Zohran still relying on handouts, Mamdani Balances City Budget With a Big Handout from Gov. Hochul. I'm sure upstaters are super thrilled about paying the bills for his social programs. Anti-semitic "protestors" heckled Jews at home in Brooklyn and Beege Welborn thinks What Happened in the Streets of New York City Last Night Was a Disgrace. Yehuda Teitelbaum @chalavyishmael, "HAPPENING NOW IN BROOKLYN: Insane footage of pro-Hamas rioters marching through an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood toward a synagogue while assaulting Jewish kids. This is what Mamdani wants to see. He could stop this at any time." David Bernstein @ProfDBernstein, "We are getting closer to an actual pogrom like Crown Heights 1991. Seriously time for Brooklyn Jews to arm themselves." Quote Eli Kowaz - איליי קואז @elikowaz, "Masked marchers, chanting "Zionism will fail," Orthodox families watching from their doorsteps. Just a normal night in a Jewish Brooklyn neighbourhood. If someone tells you this isn't about Jews, ask them why they chose this block."

Amy Curtis notices Democrats Suddenly Forgot About the Separation of Church and State and Ted Lieu Promised Dems Will Make Everything More Expensive If They Retake Power. Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok, "You are not gonna believe what I just found The California Mayor who admitted to being a Chinese spy donated to the Democrat Senate Campaign Committee Democrat Senators are being funded by Chinese spies If it was the other way around, it would be front page news for weeks." I believe it!

Chef Andrew Gruel @ChefGruel, "I thought we hate billionaires?" Quote California Post @californiapost, "Hollywood billionaire is first Dem megadonor to throw weight behind Gavin Newsom for 2028 White House run https://trib.al/WdLRya4." At Da Signal, Don Lemon Teases Presidential Run. Put down that crack pipe. But you have to admit, there would be some entertainment there.

At PJM VodkaPundit is pleased to report We Get Greenland! (Sort Of) "One source told the Beeb that administration officials "floated an arrangement in which the three new military bases would be formally designated as U.S. sovereign territory."" Don Surber is satisfied with Pax Annexa "The 51st state threat works well for Trump...Trump treats negotiation with the seriousness of a war. His statements are part of the fog of his war." 

VodkaPundit again How to Make the Trump Battleship Even Deadlier With This 1 Weird Trick, not one but rather two nuclear reactors. Energy beam weapons take power.

Sundance at CTH reports Zelenskyy’s Chief of Staff Andrey Yermak Appears in Court to Face Stunning Charges of Corruption and Money Laundering. Corruption in Ukraine? Well, knock me over with a feather. 

Ace is in Shock: Cuck of the Century Thomas Massie Claimed to be Sexual Deviant by Ex-GF, She Claims He Offered $5000 to Keep Quiet About His Proclivities "Maybe Massie orchestrated this leak himself. As you might have heard, the humiliation is the kink. Allegedly he DM'd her two months after his wife died and began a sexual relationship shortly after that. Is this true? Who knows. What are the deviant sex acts Massie allegedly demanded that made her feel "uncomfortable"? No idea, she doesn't say. Spoiler alert, it's usually about poop." A shit-head in Congress? No surprise there. 

John Lucas at Bravo Blue says Enough Already! Please Stop With the Talk About a "Deal," Mr. President. John Betts @JohnFromCranber, "Trump: No Need to Rush Anything With Iran. Frankly, I would rather see action rather than talk I would like to see oil prices and inflation back down And I am sick and tired of Iran poking us in the eye on the world stage, and making it look like we're desperate for some sort of exit strategy it's way past time to end this - unleash hell!" I think he's just letting the rubble settle before the next round of destruction. Ron Tiersky at RCW says Victory or Defeat, Iranian Old Regime's Fate is Sealed.

From Ace, Democrat Whistleblower Claims that Adam Schiff Ordered His Staff to Illegally Leak Classified Information In Order to Rig an Indictment Against Trump. "Adam Schiff, I assume, has been quizzed about this before. And I assume he lied to federal investigators when he was asked. That's obstruction of justice." Svetlana Lokhova @RealSLokhova, "Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell conspired to leak classified, and falsified, information that I was a Russian Spy who had an affair with President Trump's National Security Advisor General Flynn. The goal was to impeach President Trump. The motive: Schiff didn't get the CIA Director role that Hillary promised him if she won. So Schiff did everything to try and remove President Trump. A highly reliable whistleblower who worked on the Intel Committee with Schiff reported this to the FBI. The FBI found this to be true but then Christopher Wray refused to refer Schiff and Swalwell for prosecution, despite all the evidence, which he hid. The documents are now released but Patel/Blanche still have not arrested anyone for this."

At Am Great Nice Deb sees Trump Shares Video on Truth Social Alleging Rigged 2020 Election in Michigan "On July 5, 2021, constitutional attorney Matt DePerno appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room and made a series of bombshell claims about the election. “We’ve proved now that there was direct access to the Antrim County Election Management System,” DePerno tells Bannon in the video. “On November 5, we can see in the forensic images that an anonymous user logged onto the EMS [Election Management System] remotely with escalated privileges and made changes to the database while they were trying to retabulate the election.” DePerno explained that the Dominion forensic images also confirm that the “black solid boxes” on the side of ballots were “intentionally modified” to generate an automatic error, or “adjudication,” in Republican ballots."

Ace hears about a New Foreign Pirate Pillaging Operation Uncovered: 10,000 Foreign Students "Working" at Fraudulent Jobs Created by Fraudulent "Employers." "Why the hell would we be paying foreign students to work, anyway? Why on earth would we be subsidizing foreigners to come here? Pay full freight or go home. Better yet, go home whether you're paying full freight or not. Correction: I assumed the taxpayers were paying the salaries of these fake "workers." But I haven't seen anyone say that and now believe this is simply a scheme to remain in the country beyond the limits of one's student visa." Twitchy, NBC News: 18-Year-Old US Citizen Dies of Cancer With His Parents by His Side. "Rep. Joaquin Castro is the master of illegal immigration sob stories. If an illegal alien stubs their toe in an ICE detention facility, he'll report the national news story on it. Earlier this month, Castro shared the sad story of Kevin González, an 18-year-old with Stage 4 colon cancer who had only days to live. González is a U.S. citizen, but his parents are not, and were detained by ICE."

Dave Bernstein at Insty says YOU CAN’T HATE THE NEW YORK TIMES ENOUGH–THIS IS HOW THE HAMAS PROPAGANDA MACHINE WORKS: "New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof published a lengthy piece alleging systematic sexual assault on Palestinian security prisoners in Israeli jails. The piece was based on extremely dubious sourcing, and included the absurd allegation, which has circulated for months with no actual evidence provided, that Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. Even a credulous fool might have paused at that one. But it looks like Kristof, and the Times, are no mere credulous fools. A very extensive, detailed, and exquisitely sourced report was released today documenting, in gruesome detail, Hamas’s sexual depravity on 10/7 and its sexual crimes against the hostages it kidnapped to Gaza. As @aizenbergt55 comments on X, “If you do not believe @nytimes knew EXACTLY what they were doing with the timing of the Kristof “opinion” piece [ie, trying to preempt justified outrage at Hamas’s sexual crimes by suggesting that Israel similarly engages in such crimes] I have a nice bridge to sell you.”" Driscoll at Insty cites DAVID HARSANYI: Nick Kristof’s grotesque journalistic malpractice. "Kristof’s most cartoonishly evil accusation contends that the Israelis use trained dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. This hoax is the favorite of online antisemitic podcaster types. Not only has there never been a shred of evidence that this has happened, but it’s also probably “biologically and cognitively unfeasible” for humans to train dogs to rape people..." David Shuster @DavidShuster, "Hearing from longtime friends @nytimes there are already discussions, including up the masthead, about retracting @NickKristof column. Issues with source credibility and lack of evidence. No indications the Kristof sourcing mistakes were deliberate. Still problematic:" Physics Geek @physicsgeek, ""he won two Pulitzers writing for the NYT" ::laughs in Walter Duranty:: The fact that you think this is a flex is one of the funniest things I've ever seen."
