Drag hamburger joint in Florida is suing because they can’t sexualize children. This is why people prefer Trump or DeSantis over someone like Tim Scott or Nikki Haley. The political battle isn’t just with Democrats, or those who think differently than you on taxes, border law, guns etc.,.. it’s with actual demons who want control of your children and to tear down society of any remaining moral fiber. -

Biden and the crises er challenge on the border

Democrats: No Border Security Bill Until Citizens Accept More Poor Migrants by Neil Munro Democrats will block a border security bill until American citizens accept more poor migrants into their workplaces and neighborhoods, Texas Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee told a GOP-led hearing on Tuesday. “You’re not going to get border security coming first,” Lee told a GOP-picked witness, Rodney Scott, the former chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, who urged legislators to first protect the border before opening up more legal routes for migrants. You need to be able to balance it. You will not accept a border security and recognizing pathways to legal entry [bill]? https://judiciary.house.gov/committee-activity/hearings/biden-border-crisis-part-iii https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/05/24/democrats-illegal-migration-will-continue-until-americans-oks-legal-migration/ -
Kamala Harris is the next VP
John from Riverside replied to JetsFan20's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Kamala Harris has no problem in debates. What exactly are Tim Scott and Nikki Haley going to run on she is a former prosecutor and she knows how to speak It’s not her talk that’s the problem it’s the lack of any actual action -
They aren’t going to let her anywhere near Tim Scott in a debate.

I wish Tim Scott would have a bigger platform to get his message across. He comes across as a intelligent and caring person with the right temperament for the job. But of course the white liberal media and there disciples would never allow him to win. He's not a real black person according to them. Just shows how disgusting the left has become. A bunch of racist, child grooming sickos.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's accusers, has testified that his associate Ghislaine Maxwell first picked her up at Mar-a-Lago when she was 16 years old before introducing her to Epstein. At Maxwell's own criminal trial, in 2021, one accuser testified that Maxwell introduced her to Trump at Mar-a-Lago when she was 14 years old. Other accusers said Maxwell and Epstein often namedropped Trump. OUCH

Of course those same records show that these were flights from Teterboro, NJ to Palm Beach and not to Epstein's island, but We are used to the "give half the story" that you leftists use to fake a point. . https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/ghislaine-maxwell-epstein-donald-trump-flight-logs-b1980802.html

Medscape is likely behind a paywall for many. Here's an clip from a 2020 article on the esteemed Dr Bhatt: The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and its HIV Medicine Association denounced the declaration, as reported by Medscape Medical News, and the World Health Organization (WHO) Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called the proposal "unethical." But the idea has gained some traction at the White House, where Coronavirus Task Force Member and Stanford professor Scott Atlas, MD, has been advising President Donald J. Trump. News > Medscape Medical News Great Barrington Coauthor Backs Off Strict Reliance on Herd Immunity Alicia Ault November 09, 2020 On the JAMA debate, Bhattacharya said, "I think all of the mitigation measures are really important," listing social distancing, hand washing, and masks when distancing is not possible as chief among those strategies for the less vulnerable. "I don't want to create infections intentionally, but I want us to allow people to go back to their lives as best they can, understanding of the risks they are taking when they do it," he said, claiming that 99.95% of the population will survive infection. "The harmful lockdowns are worse for many, many people," Bhattacharya said. "I think Jay is moving towards a middle ground which is not really what the Great Barrington Declaration seems to promote," countered Lipsitch. The declaration does not say use masks or social distance, he said. "It just says we need to go back to a normal life." Herd immunity hasn't worked, genius. Over 1 million dead despite the vax and widespread infections. But what are 2 million potential excess lives lost by his strategy?. People are still dying. There is still widespread morbidity. And we're going to need at least yearly vax for the foreseeable future. So glad bhatt (and Atllas) weren't around when polio was gaining a foothold (and is again because of vax deniers). ...

DeSantis For President in 2024?

Here’s something we missed in our House Oversight Committee meeting coverage Wednesday. Rep. Maxwell Frost of Florida, who’s best known for being only 26 and a sitting congressman, is trying to make himself known as the next AOC: loud, liberal, and underinformed. Florida’s Voice reports that Frost suggested during Wednesday’s committee meeting that the committee bring in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who’s been abusing his power to limit free speech. Florida’s Voice reports: During the GOP House Oversight Committee meeting Wednesday, Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-FL, floated the idea of bringing in governors, such as Gov. Ron DeSantis, to testify for “limiting free speech.” The hearing is the House Oversight and Accountability Committee’s “first step in examining the coordination between the federal government and Big Tech to restrict protected speech and interfere in the democratic process.” https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2023/02/09/rep-maxwell-frost-would-love-to-see-committee-bring-in-gov-ron-desantis-whos-limiting-free-speech/ -
Biden State of the Union Address on February 7th
B-Man replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The 3 Biggest Lies From Biden’s State of the Union Address By Justin Haskins FTA: Lie 3: “Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset every five years.” One of the most dramatic moments of the State of the Union came immediately after Biden accused Republicans of planning to “sunset” Medicare and Social Security. As soon as Biden uttered those words, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy shook his head, some House Republicans shouted “no,” and congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) yelled “liar!” The response from Republicans prompted Biden to go off-script and eventually acknowledge — in one of the most bizarre moments we’ve seen in decades at a State of the Union Address — that Republicans do not support eliminating Social Security and Medicare. “Look, folks, the idea is that we’re not going to be — we’re not going to be moved into being threatened to default on the debt if we don’t respond,” Biden said. “So, folks, as we all apparently agree, Social Security and Medicare are off the books now, right? All right. We got unanimity.” The truth is, Republicans never threatened to eliminate Social Security or Medicare. Some Republicans, such as Florida Senator Rick Scott, have said they would support a plan to sunset all federal programs every five years, but that does not mean they support eliminating them permanently. Instead, as Scott has plainly said, the goal of the sunset provision would be to “fix” and “preserve” programs like Social Security and Medicare, key responsibilities of Congress. It is unfortunate that Biden chose to use this important moment in history to dishonestly attack his political opponents while exaggerating his meager achievements. It was a golden opportunity to move the country in a more positive, unified direction, and the president wasted it. https://redstate.com/jhaskins/2023/02/08/the-3-biggest-lies-from-bidens-state-of-the-union-address-n700601 -
Biden State of the Union Address on February 7th

AFTER LAST NIGHT by Scott Johnson I thought the flight of the Chinese spy balloon across the United States was a national embarrassment, but it was nothing compared to President Biden’s State of the Union performance last night. I thought he hit the high point with his congratulation of Kevin McCarthy for ascending to the Speakership in the first few seconds of his speech. The speed of the descent varied, but it was downhill all the way from there. That means it was a long, long way downhill. The Washington Post has a useful set of corrections on subjects other than those I mention below (the link is to the accessible version published by Jewish World Review). David Harsanyi adds a stylish touch in his Federalist column “Don’t Fall For Joe Biden’s Economic Fairy Tale.” Biden wants to “finish the job” he has started. The phrase appears in the text of his speech 12 times. I think that has an ominous ring. Finishing the job will finish us off. Regarding the Chinese spy balloon, he gave us nothing. It’s apparently no big deal, but it did fit weirdly with his comments about China: “Before I came to office, the story was about how the People’s Republic of China was increasing its power and America was falling in the world. Not anymore.” Shouldn’t someone have bothered to rework that passage? He gave us angry old man Biden shouting for reasons known only to himself. He gave us phony old man Biden with his obnoxious stage whisper. He slurred his words like a drunken sailor. The White House has posted the text of his remarks “as prepared for delivery” so you might be able to ascertain what he was attempting to say. Both as prepared and as delivered it was a bizarre speech. And Biden gave us the standard Democratic/democratic demagoguery of the current screwball variety. To take just one example, Democrats have “invested” massively in “climate change.” They are going to change the climate, or increase their control over our lives. Something like that. Abortion, advances in LGBTQ orthodoxy, price controls on medicine, taxes on the rich and famous, “infrastructure” (say it fast three times), more spending like the sailors whose speech he emulated — all are on the horizon. Woo hoo!

Well, Scott suggested we touch it, got scolded by McConnell and immediately backed off of his own suggestion. But by all means, let's just cross our fingers and hope it fixes itself. -
Biden State of the Union Address on February 7th
The Frankish Reich replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Step away from the bong, sir. True. I hate the fact that in America we still live by that old cliche that "social security is the third rail of American politcs; touch it and you die." We do need to touch it, at least to shore it up at the margins. But there you have it: Rick Scott touched it, his party owns it. -

Not a lie. Rick Scott - a Republican leader - has suggested changes that start chipping away at social security. I'm not saying that's a bad thing; it needs to be put on a sound actuarial footing. But it's no lie to say it. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/02/us/politics/republicans-social-security-medicare.html -
I have a new political crush!
The Frankish Reich replied to JaCrispy's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Because I read it, and it was fair. I assume you're only reading criticisms of it - much like this criticism of a WP article on Tim Scott (I'll read that one and I'll let you know). This is kind of like reading movie reviews, not seeing the movie itself, and then having an opinion about the movie. Are you saying my wife was a "waitress" in a "gentlemen's club?" -
https://thehill.com/homenews/media/550006-commentators-blast-washington-post-fact-check-on-tim-scott/ Once the post goes all in on this sort of “journalism” what’s the point of giving them the click? Don’t they also employ Taylor Lorenz? It’s easy for you to declare it fair but how would anyone else know?

Then why are Republicans hellbent on introducing federal abortion bans? Lindsey Graham - not exactly a backbencher - started the ball rolling on this right after Dobbs. And even "mainstream" Republicans like Tim Scott are suggesting that they'd sign a federal abortion ban. They will not accept a Supreme Court "yes" for an answer. Why not? Because this was never about "leaving it to the states." That was the lie everybody told to try to get Roe overturned. It was about banning abortion. Period. That wacko judge in Texas just said the quiet part out loud.
