Another one bites the dust, Mayorkas impeachment edition

Image
Wednesday afternoon, Chuck Schumer likely sent 3 (or more) Democrat senators to their electoral defeat when he made 51 Democrat senators vote in lockstep to not hold a trial based on the evidence House impeachment managers compiled during their investigation into Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Sen. Schumer took to the Senate floor Wednesday and said that it wasn't a high crime or misdemeanor when Secretary Mayorkas intentionally and willingly ignored the properly enacted laws. He called it a policy dispute. That's world class spin. That isn't a policy dispute. In every city other than Washington, DC or NYC, that's called a crime. Now that the trial has been improperly eliminated, it's time for John Q. Public to torment these senators for thumbing their nose at the Constitution. Sen. Schumer knows that Secretary Mayorkas and President Biden have frequently and intentionally rewritten immigration laws. Now that the trial has been disposed of, I hope

Joe Biden's moment of truth

Image
If ever there was a time when leadership and integrity was required from our president, it's now. It's sad for me to admit that, rather than having a president filled with integrity and who is a consummate leader, we're momentarily stuck with Joe Biden. It isn't coincidental that the U.S. is going through some of our most difficult times other than the Civil War and the assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK Jr. Mr. Biden's staff apparently aren't interested in the truth. Instead, they wrote this ill-advised op-ed in Joe Biden's name. The opening paragraph in the op-ed written by Biden's staff says "Iran launched an unprecedented attack against Israel this weekend, with a barrage of missiles and drones. Around the same time, some 1,500 miles north, Russia continued its bombardment of Ukraine, which has intensified dramatically in the last month." When the history books are written, Biden will be compared with Neville Chamberlain. Biden and Chamber

Convicting Alejandro Mayorkas, Dan Goldman vs. John Kennedy edition

Image
If there's anyone who makes my blood boil more than Sen. Schumer, it's Rep. Dan Goldman, (D-NY). When I saw that he'd written this op-ed for MSNBC , I had to write a reply to his propaganda. I was surprised to see that the opening paragraph of his op-ed contained 2 truthful statements, followed by a truthful but misleading statement. It said "Democracy is under attack at home and abroad. On Saturday, the antidemocratic regime in Iran launched more than 300 missiles and drones at our democratic ally, Israel, while Russia simultaneously sent the same Iranian-designed drones into Ukraine. On Monday, Donald Trump became the first former president to go to trial as a criminal defendant." I'd just add that Goldman should remind Joe Biden that Israel is an ally and deserves to be treated that way. With Biden on Israel, it's 1 step forward, 1 stab in the back and a week of humiliation from the U.S. That isn't how allies should be treated. The final sentence of

Question: should A15 be designated as a terrorist organization?

Image
A15, the organization allegedly behind Monday's coordinated blockage of the Golden Gate Bridge, O'Hare Airport and other transportation "choke points" posted something on their website that said "The global economy is complicit in genocide. Join participating cities in blocking the arteries of capitalism and jamming the wheels of production." Then it continued, saying "A proposal to coordinate a multi-city economic blockade on April 15th in solidarity with Palestine recently received overwhelming commitments to participate around the US and internationally." The organization produced this Youtube manifesto: That sounds quite a bit like what a terrorist organization might do, doesn't it? It definitely doesn't sound like a bunch of rag-tag protesters. Still aren't convinced? Check this out: There is a sense in the streets in this recent and unprecedented movement for Palestine that escalation has become necessary: there is a need to shif

Joe Biden's 'Don't Doctrine'

Image
John Kirby, Joe Biden's National Security Communications Advisor, had a difficult day Monday, dealing with Peter Doocy. Doocy questioned him about Biden's policy of telling foreign adversaries "Don't" right before these adversaries ignore Biden and they attack. Kirby did his best to spin this episode as insignificant, saying that Biden said "Don't" on Friday, only to have Iran invade Israel Saturday night. This is how Kirby tried spinning it: DOOCY TIME: “John, has President Biden considered maybe beefing up the public Iran posture to be more than just one word?” WH’s John Kirby: “You — you’re referring to, ‘don't’?” Doocy: “Yeah.” Kirby: “And so, let's —” Doocy: “Because he said —” Kirby: “— talk about —”… pic.twitter.com/KufejLZFnX — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) April 15, 2024 This isn't an act of deterrence.

Anti-Israel protesters shut down Golden Gate Bridge, O'Hare Airport, Wall Street

Image
NBC News is reporting that anti-Israel protesters shut down San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge for more than 5 hours on Monday. CNN is reporting that "More than 150 people were arrested or taken into custody across the US Monday as pro-Palestinian protesters blocked roads and one of the country’s most famous bridges. In places from San Francisco and Seattle to Chicago and the East Coast cities of Miami and New York , demonstrators disrupted traffic,  including during rush hour,  and blocked travelers from getting to major airports to protest the US supporting Israel in the war in Gaza." These disruptions were well-coordinated, well-funded and highly effective. If I had to guess, I'd bet that we'll see more disruptions in the near future through the Republicans' and Democrats' conventions through Election Day. These protests are currently aimed at Democrats because these terrorist sympathizers are hoping to affect Biden administration policy towards Israe

Economies of plenty vs. economies of just barely enough, Trump vs. Biden edition

Image
It isn't a stretch to think of the Trump economy as 'the economy of plenty.' I wouldn't disagree with people who's characterize Bidenomics/Bidenflation as the 'economy of just enough.' What's the difference, you ask? I'm glad you asked. The answer is found in this article . It opens by saying "When oil prices jumped above US$90 a barrel just days ago, military tensions between Israel and Iran were the immediate trigger. But the rally’s foundations went deeper — to global supply shocks that are intensifying fears of a commodity-driven inflation resurgence." Until recently, Biden bragged that oil production hit new records during his administration. According to the Energy Information Administration, the record was hit by producing 13,300,000 BPD (Barrels Per Day) in 2023. The thing is that we were producing 13,200,000 BPD in 2019. Technically, Biden is right. However, energy experts expected production to increase to at least 17,000,000 BPD
