LOL at ABC Marco Rubio Leaves Jonathan Karl Spluttering As He Lays Out Successes of Trump Versus Failures of Biden By Susie Moore With all the chaos in the world at present, it makes sense for the Sunday news shows to feature congressional leaders as guests. As reported earlier, ABC News' "This Week" aired a segment on Sunday morning with Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) discussing the horrific attack by ISIS-K in Moscow. Rubio serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as well as Vice Chair of the Select Committee on Intelligence. That exchange was fairly cordial and even-keeled. The two also discussed the potential for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, which, Rubio noted, could happen tomorrow if Hamas would simply surrender. Then their discussion turned to the recent rumors that former President Donald Trump may be eyeing Rubio as a potential running mate. That's when things took a somewhat humorous (albeit darkly humorous) turn, with Karl expressing utter disbelief that Rubio would want to associate himself in any way with the Bad Orange Man or could possibly lay blame at the feet of President Joe Biden for much of the chaos we're seeing at present. Watch as Karl splutters in the face of Rubio's deft portrayal of the stunning contrast between the two administrations:

Forget her silly dancing, she continues to embarrass America on the world stage. Kamala Throws Israel Under the Bus, Doubles Down on the Dumb With Rafah Comment By Nick Arama I wrote earlier about Kamala Harris being clueless as she clapped and grooved to a protest song being sung against her. That was truly funny. But it's just an example of Kamala not being the sharpest tool in the drawer and not getting or perhaps not caring how unhappy people are with the Biden-Harris team for a multitude of reasons. Among those reasons is that she hasn't seemed to have done much of anything for Americans while she's occupied the office of vice president. When she speaks it tends to be in silly word salads and the border that she's supposed to be the "border czar" over is a complete mess. It's costing them big time in the polls and rightly so. {snip} The reporter asked if there would be "consequences" if "he does move forward." "He" is presumably Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as though it's just his idea, when most of Israel wants the military to go in and wipe out Hamas. But it's also bizarre to frame it as though Israel was the one in the wrong for wanting to wipe out the terrorists who attacked their country and killed more than 1,200 people, the terrorists who still pose a threat to them. Harris said they were "ruling out nothing," which is an implied threat to Israel if they go around the Biden administration. The incredible thing here is they're willing to threaten and bully Israel, a long-standing ally, all because they're worried about losing the election because of unhappiness by the radical left over the issue. They're afraid they're going to lose Michigan and a lot of other votes. They don't seem to give a darn about the American hostages still being held. Where is their verbal pressure on Hamas? We only hear them attacking Israel. It's also hilarious that her argument is that she's "studied the maps" -- as if that suddenly makes her an expert. She really has no credibility on the issue. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2024/03/24/kamala-remarks-rafah-n2171835 .

Those poor "kids".

Such "principled" leaders. IS BIDEN’S RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN DRIVING U.S. FOREIGN POLICY? It is widely believed that Joe Biden’s anti-Israel, pro-Hamas policy is driven by his desperate need to carry Michigan if he is to have any hope of re-election. That seems like a reasonable assumption, although, to be fair, it is also possible that he shares his old boss’s anti-Israel animus. But here is another one: Biden’s team knows that Americans have had about all the Bidenflation they can stand, and a spike in energy prices between now and November could well doom Joe’s chances. Would Biden be willing to throw the Ukrainians under the bus, along with the Israelis, to improve his odds? I think we all know the answer to that one. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/03/is-bidens-re-election-campaign-driving-us-foreign-policy.php

Liberal "priorities" 'Things Will Happen': Massachusetts Governor Calls Illegal Immigrant Raping Teenage Girl 'Unfortunate' By Jeff Charles https://redstate.com/jeffc/2024/03/23/massachusetts-governor-responds-after-illegal-immigrant-rapes-teenage-girl-things-will-happen-n2171819 .

All the concerned "advice" for the RNC. Hilarious. Meanwhile: With RNC Shakeup, MAGA Brings Accountability To The Republican Party by Gavin Wax An insidious institutional rot has long afflicted the Republican Party and the broader conservative movement. Historically, this has presented a vexing problem for grassroots activists desperate to change the status quo. Now, after Herculean efforts by players big and small, it appears that the rabble-rousing of the MAGA faithful is finally paying off. New Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley and Vice Chairwoman Lara Trump have brought immediate change to the institution, working with senior Trump campaign advisor Chris LaCivita to streamline this leviathan. Whereas former RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney-McDaniel did not make the systemic changes needed to support a modern campaign infrastructure, the new team has wasted no time https://dailycaller.com/2024/03/23/gavin-wax-with-rnc-shakeup-maga-brings-accountability-to-the-republican-party/

Ohio Volunteers Uncover Massive Irregularities in Voter Database by Jack Gleason In the spring of 2021, volunteer investigators from Ohio acquired publicly available voter data for all 88 counties and started their analysis. Over the next year the researchers found hundreds of thousands of records in their state’s voter rolls with irregular data for which they couldn’t identify consistent explanations, no matter who they asked. In late summer of 2022, they reached out to Marly Hornik, co-leader of New York Citizens Audit, whose team had identified similar inaccuracies in the New York State data. The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 requires election rolls to be accurate. The Ohio team had collected more than a million pieces of evidence of apparent violations of law that called into serious question the accuracy of Ohio’s statewide voter roll database at the time of the 2022 general election and its subsequent certification. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution stipulates that only legally qualified voters may vote. The Ohio team uncovered evidence that thousands of voters in Ohio had apparently registered before they were born! https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/03/ohio_volunteers_uncover_massive_irregularities_in_voter_database.html .

"Warm up" for November More than 10K ballots ‘mistakenly left out' of unofficial vote count in Chicago The Chicago Board of Elections revealed on Saturday that more than 10,000 ballots hadn’t been included in previous vote totals by mistake, making unofficial counts lower than expected.

THAT’S WHY THE LEFT HATES IT: “The whole point of the First Amendment is to give ordinary citizens the power and the tools to decide for themselves what information to listen to and what ideas to find persuasive.” https://www.newyorker.com/news/fault-lines/the-misguided-attempt-to-control-tiktok https://althouse.blogspot.com/2024/03/the-whole-point-of-first-amendment-is.html

More on the above. BECAUSE YOU CAN’T SPELL CANNIBALISM WITHOUT “CA:” Horrifying video shows man walking off with severed leg after lethal train accident in California: ‘He’s eating that.’ A shocking video captured the moment a California man walked off with a severed human leg after a train accident where a woman died, according to police. The video shows a disheveled man looking around while carrying a large, ragged object. The Kern County Sheriff’s Office said that a train struck a woman at about 8:05 a.m. near G and 7th streets in the town of Wasco near Bakersfield. A witness told KGET-TV that they saw a man remove a severed leg from the scene near an Amtrak Station. The video shows the man in a red hooded sweatshirt and black pants leaning over an object. He turns around and erratically laughs at the person recording the scene, then staggers away. A second scene in the video appears to show the police response and the man waving the leg at the officers. KGET published a censored version of the video with words bleeped out and the image of the leg blurred out. A voice can be heard on the video saying, “He’s eating that s**t!” in English and then in Spanish. https://www.theblaze.com/news/video-wasco-eating-severed-leg?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dlvr.it_x_theblaze&tpcc=social

No one believes this. So the correct reply should have been "I've been SELF-deceived" ! Meanwhile: Whether you agree or disagree with the guy on Russia or anything else isn’t important. Freedom of speech is under attack.

I’m putting in the research.

Spread the Word: ‘Climate: The Movie’ Out Today Online for Free and It’s Terrific. “The film explores the nature of the consensus behind climate change. It describes the origins of the climate funding bandwagon, and the rise of the trillion-dollar climate industry. It describes the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend on the climate crisis. It explains the enormous pressure on scientists and others not to question the climate alarm: the withdrawal of funds, rejection by science journals, social ostracism.” https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2024/03/21/spread-the-word-climate-the-movie-out-today-online-for-free-and-its-terrific-n3785115 .

The Latest Desperate, Ghoulish, and Telling Attempt to Turn Nex Benedict Into George Floyd FTA: What those headlines are meant to convey is obvious. Namely, that Benedict died, at least partially, as a result of a bigoted anti-transgender attack at school. We know that because that was the story told for several days until more details came to light. Yet, even though that narrative has been completely debunked, the charge to turn a teen's tragic self-inflicted death into the next George Floyd continues. Benedict, who was female, committed suicide by overdosing on drugs prescribed to her the day after an altercation at school. Body cam footage from an interviewing police officer showed her admitting she started the fight with the two younger students and that she suffered no serious injuries. Despite that, there is a fresh round of outrage that the two other girls involved aren't being thrown in jail for defending themselves. It's absurd and a complete turn from how the left normally treats these situations. How many scathing articles has USA Today written demanding charges from the numerous attacks on non-trans students that have led to serious injuries? How many social media posts has Ari Dennan made demanding justice for Kaylee Gain? The answer is zero. Yet, she's happy to spread disinformation about Benedict to prop up her own delusional political goals. Nex Benedict was not killed in a fight at school. She committed suicide in the face of a relentless ideological push by the left that proclaims "affirmation" as the only path forward for children suffering from mental challenges. What Benedict needed was a medical system (and family members) that cared enough to tell her the truth and guide her through her confusion. Instead, she was left with a pat on the back, a prescription, and without the help she needed. And for what? So adults can feel better about their life choices? Worse, instead of changing course, they double down. It's sick and ghoulish. The far left, which includes much of the mainstream press, is so desperate for a transgender George Floyd that they will literally lie about a child's death, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that they are lying. There is no bottom. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/03/22/the-latest-desperate-ghoulish-and-telling-attempt-to-turn-nex-benedict-into-george-floyd-n2171740

"But what is interesting is that a few voices on the Left have spoken up to question the fairness of the proceedings." "Not to defend Trump — they could never bring themselves to do that — but to ask whether the process being used to go after him is fair. Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus, firmly in the liberal camp and firmly anti-Trump, expressed worries about the precedent the Trump case could set. From her column this week: 'The essence of Trump’s argument on appeal is that the supposed harm he caused was minimal at best — all his lenders were repaid — and that the penalty levied against him was therefore wildly excessive....' Progressive commentator Cenk Uygur, also firmly anti-Trump, had a similar view. 'To me, putting up all the cash upfront before you appeal the case seems draconian for everyone, not just Trump.... But what if he wins the appeal? So you made him sell all of his properties to get the collateral, but then he can’t buy them back....'... Someday, of course, what goes around will come around for Democrats, probably in circumstances that none of them could predict right now...." Writes Byron York. Most Trump antagonists seem to be laughing and salivating. I suppose they would enjoy seeing the man tortured. It's bizarrely shortsighted. Do they think Trump is uniquely evil and nothing that happens to him will set a precedent? https://althouse.blogspot.com/2024/03/but-what-is-interesting-is-that-few.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/03/19/trump-appeal-fraud-judgment-464-million-bond/ https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2927808/what-happens-if-trump-doesnt-secure-his-454-million-bond-left-and-right-say-its-gone-to-far/
