B-Man Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 ‘This is pathetic’: SecDef Lloyd Austin promises to do all he can to protect US troops from the… SCOTUS abortion ruling The statement appears on the Defense Department’s website: Nothing is more important to me or to this Department than the health and well-being of our Service members, the civilian workforce and DOD families. I am committed to taking care of our people and ensuring the readiness and resilience of our Force. The Department is examining this decision closely and evaluating our policies to ensure we continue to provide seamless access to reproductive health care as permitted by federal law. “Federal law”? There is no federal law. It is now up to states to decide for themselves the best way to deal with the abortion issue. Hey Lloyd! Go back to dealing with military readiness and preparedness! Thanks! https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2022/06/24/this-is-pathetic-secdef-lloyd-austin-promises-to-do-all-he-can-to-protect-us-troops-from-the-scotus-abortion-ruling/
B-Man Posted June 25, 2022 Posted June 25, 2022 REPUBLICANS HAVE TRIED THIS SEVERAL TIMES, BUT the Democrats blocked it: Flashback: Republicans Can’t Stop Talking About Over-the-Counter Birth Control. “The controversy has put Democratic candidates in the odd position of seemingly opposing a policy proposal that voters are inclined to believe they support: the availability of birth control without a doctor’s prescription.” Related: Over-the-Counter Contraception Is Immensely Popular. But Democrats Have Doomed It. Rather than working with Republicans to craft a compromise measure—say, one that protected insurance coverage for contraception but also paved the way for over-the-counter pills—and helping to secure a rare bipartisan win for women’s health care, liberals actively advocated against conservative colleagues’ efforts. Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, suggested, without evidence, that making pills available over the counter would hike costs for individual women to $600 a year. Republican politicians pushing for OTC pills, she said, would somehow “drag women back to the 1950s.” In 2014, Planned Parenthood’s political arm bought ads in multiple states. “In its first TV ad buy of the 2014 cycle,” noted HuffPost, “Planned Parenthood’s political arm is warning voters in North Carolina and Colorado that Republican Senate candidates’ support for over-the-counter birth control is not what it seems.” . . . This was a dark moment in Democratic politics: Even as they ramped up efforts to portray Republicans as the harbingers of a Handmaid’s Tale scenario and to portray themselves as hip to the needs of marginalized groups, Democrats sacrificed an opportunity to help women struggling to obtain birth control prevent unintended pregnancies. Instead, at the expense of undocumented immigrants, low-income women, victims of domestic violence, and others, they opted to help middle-class women save $10 a month—and prop up insurance providers, pharmaceutical companies, and the Democratic fundraising machine in the process. All the while, they insisted that they were putting contraception in reach for more American women. But evidence suggests they were merely shifting around costs. https://time.com/3305879/republicans-cant-stop-talking-about-over-the-counter-birth-control/ https://reason.com/2019/01/16/deregulate-the-pill/
B-Man Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 WHAT TRUMP MIGHT HAVE DONE TO THE DEEP STATE: Jeffrey Tucker reminds that, while it’s long forgotten now, former President Donald Trump signed an executive order — 13957 on Oct. 21, 2020 — late in his tenure that would have taken a significant step toward bringing the permanent bureaucracy under control. Biden, of course, reversed the order shortly after being sworn-in as Trump’s successor. Having had a small part in bringing about the Reagan Revolution’s partially successful reforms of the federal personnel system, I agree Trump’s EO could have made a huge difference. Coulda-woulda-shoulda. I suspect a President DeSantis would resurrect something quite similar, but nothing short of a remarkably powerful, durable and united political will in both the White House and the Congress will be able to bring it to fruition. https://brownstone.org/articles/the-astonishing-implications-of-schedule-f/
B-Man Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Senate pause, again: Leahy breaks hip For the second time this year, Senate Democrats will likely have to pause the more contentious items on their agenda due to medical issues. Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy, at 82 the longest-serving member of the upper chamber, broke his hip in a fall at his home last night. He will undergo surgery to repair the damage, and so will be unable to cast any votes in a 50/50 chamber: First off, we certainly want to wish Senator Leahy a speedy and full recovery. A broken hip at 82 is no joke, but medical response and rehabilitation for such injuries has markedly improved over recent decades. That brings us to the rest of Leahy’s colleagues. This makes the second time this year that Senate Democrats have dipped below the 50-seat mark in the Senate for any significant period, and that creates some headaches. In February, Ben Ray Luján suffered a stroke and had to have brain surgery, which forced him to remain absent a few weeks. Luján made a full recovery and came back to work in the spring, but the absence forced Chuck Schumer to juggle the more contentious parts of his agenda until he had all 50 votes again. https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2022/06/30/senate-pause-again-leahy-breaks-hip-undergoes-surgery-n479792

B-Man Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 How Did Democrats Become So Out of Touch With the American People? FTA: The priorities of the modern Democratic Party are comically out of touch with those of the American people, who simply want safe communities, stable prices, secure borders and to be left alone by the COVID-era biomedical security state. Democrats don’t talk about any of that, at best—and they outright impede those prerogatives, at worst. The transformation of the Democratic Party from a one-time working man’s labor party into today’s identity politics-driven woke monstrosity did not transpire overnight, but that transformation is now complete. And the result is unseemly. The dog that is the Democratic Party is manipulated by a multifaceted tail that is a grotesque fusion of criminal adulation, Gaia worship, Malthusian radicalism, eugenicist lust and a gender ideology downstream of the worst excesses of American academia. Maybe that will play well for certain Upper West Side and West Hollywood voting precincts this November, but it won’t play very well in real America. https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/07/23/how-did-democrats-become-so-out-of-touch-with-the-american-people/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-did-democrats-become-so-out-of-touch-with-the-american-people .

B-Man Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 The idea that Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema “changed their minds” on setting another several hundred billion dollars on fire to subsidize the businesses of left-wing donors is absurd. Two weeks ago, these “moderates” vehemently opposed “Build Back Better” because it taxed and spent too much. Now that it’s called the “Inflation Reduction Act,” it’s game on. Anyone believe this was an honest conversion? There is no discussion about what it took to make this change, it’s all about how this could “save” the Biden administration and will give something for leftists to get excited about in the midterms. That’s actually true. It’s also the worst reason for any elected official to support a piece of legislation or anything. It happens a lot, but that doesn’t make it right. These Democrats are supporting something they know will damage the economy and hurt Americans because it will rally the base of the Democrat Party and decrease their odds of losing control of Congress. How afraid of subpoenas about Hunter and the family business must the Biden administration be? One last note: Joe Manchin has never been the decision-maker when it comes to preventing Democrats from passing a piece of legislation. For all the talk of his willingness to stand up to his party, he’s only ever sided with Republicans when something was going to happen without him – a nominee was going to be confirmed anyway or a bill passed or not. The idea that he’s independent is a myth he created to help Democrats, so they could say, “Even Manchin is on board” to be able spin something radical as centrist. None of this is by accident. https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2022/08/07/the-world-has-gone-crazy-n2611377
B-Man Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Sears Talks About Why Democrats Despise Black Conservatives by Mike LaChance Democrats have a terrible record of behaving horribly towards black conservatives. They will often openly use demeaning and even racist terms to insult them. Just look at the way the left has treated Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, or Dr. Ben Carson. Virginia’s Lt. Governor Winsome Sears is a conservative Republican and she has dealt with this issue as well. She recently spoke to a writer for the New York Post:Winsome Sears: Why Democrats despise black conservatives like me The definition of winsome is “sweetly or innocently charming: winning, engaging.” The lieutenant governor of Virginia, Winsome Sears, is all of these, but she is also tough https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/09/virginia-lt-governor-winsome-sears-talks-democrats-despise-black-conservatives/ . 1
B-Man Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Joe Manchin's Political Career Appears to Be Over Regardless, the story here isn’t the GOP candidates. It’s that Manchin has burned his political career to the ground to make the blue-haired climate hysterics on the left happy. I wonder if he still thinks it was worth it. Other polling shows his unfavorable rating with Democrats still in the toilet, so he didn’t gain with any of the people he tried to buy off. On the other end, his once-durable support among Republicans (especially more moderate ones) has completely collapsed. For the life of me, I can’t understand why he made the decision he did. Manchin had a chance to cement himself with his home state, ensuring not just his re-election, but his legacy among his constituents. Instead, he sold the people who voted for him down the river to get a cheap pen from Joe Biden, a few days of plaudits from the press, and a cratering approval rating. Worse, the bill itself is just a handout to well-off Californians who want to buy electric vehicles while providing nothing really of value to West Virginians. For all the talk about “permitting reform,” it sure hasn’t happened yet. What was the strategy here? Did it really come down to Chris ***** puffing Manchin up about becoming a hero to the left? If the senator was that gullible, he richly deserves his coming downfall.
