B-Man Posted January 12 Posted January 12 These four women destroyed the Democratic Party with race By Glenn K. Beaton Four young Congresswomen – not even Senators – accomplished something that eluded years of Democratic Presidents and their woes. Jimmy Carter in his malaise, Bill with Monica and his cigar, Lyndon Johnson and his Vietnam War – none of that was able to accomplish what these four young Congresswomen accomplished. They destroyed the Democratic Party. It was a perfect storm that began around the year 2020. China leaked a bioengineered virus from its biowarfare lab – probably accidentally – to produce worldwide mass hysteria and lockdowns of billions of people. It gathered steam when a thug died in the hands of a white cop. Protests and riots ensued, weirdly exempted from the lockdowns. At the time, the country was already weary of Donald Trump and his often productive but typically provocative antics. These four Congresswomen seized the moment. Never great fans of America, they seized that time of weakness to destroy her, or at least act out their anger at her. The death of the thug became emblematic of white police brutality. Never mind that this particular thug probably died of drugs, not a chokehold. Never mind that more Blacks die at the hands of Black police officers than at the hands of white ones. Never mind that the leading cause of death among young Black men is other young Black men. Never mind that the murder rate among Blacks is seven-times that of whites, and nearly all Black murders are at the hands of other Blacks. Led by these Congresswomen, the Left decided that sticking to those inconvenient facts was . . . RACIST! The narrative was more important than any dumb facts. To disagree with their false narrative or their false charge of racism served only to prove you’re a . . . RACIST! Your only salvation was confession, and then they might let you off easy with just a few hundred hours of DEI training. Oh yes, DEI. The Left’s long-standing reverse discrimination called “Affirmative Action” had failed, and their effort to sustain their failed discrimination was also failing. So, the Left did what they do when their policies fail: They rebranded it. (See, e.g., communism rebranded as socialism, rebranded as liberalism, rebranded as wokeism, rebranded as progressivism.) The new brand for “Affirmative Action” was “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.” This new brand was the same as the old brand, except, this time, it was coupled with brainwashing. You had to not only engage in reverse discrimination; you had to believe in it. You had to believe that the company (or college or whatever) was stronger if the guy down the hall had dark skin. The problem was that DEI, like Affirmative Action, tended to conflict with a meritocracy. But the DEI supremacists had a solution to that problem: Do away with merit. Merit became a code word for . . . RACIST! While we’re at it, they thought, let’s do away with sex. A nominee for the Supreme Court announced rather proudly that she could not define “woman.” That proved to be a slippery slope. Next thing we knew, people that everyone else defines as not women – you know, people with a Y chromosome, high testosterone levels, a penis and testicles – were calling themselves “women” and competing in women’s sports like swimming and even boxing. Unsurprisingly, in view of their testosterone levels and male musculature, they usually won. By a pool length or a knockout. At which time they joined the women in the showers. If you complained, you were the sex equivalent of . . . RACIST! You were alphabet-people-phobic. For that, you get another few hundred hours of DEI training, and then you get cancelled. No soup for you, and no career either. Two more things. Bear with me. MORE at the link: https://theaspenbeat.com/2025/01/11/these-four-women-destroyed-the-democratic-party-with-race/ 1

They were willing to go along.
B-Man Posted January 13 Posted January 13 SCUM Constitutional Crisis In Minnesota By John Hinderaker Minnesota is a purple state, balanced on a knife’s edge, as the 2024 election showed. There are 134 Minnesota House districts, and when the returns were in, it looked like Republicans had gained enough seats so that the House would be tied, 67-67. But then it came to light that one of the Democrats’ candidates had cheated: in House District 40B, Democrat Curtis Johnson falsely claimed to reside in the district, a constitutional requirement. His Republican opponent filed an election contest, which was successful, as the evidence against the Democrat was overwhelming. A district court issued an injunction barring Johnson from taking that seat. A special election will be held to fill the seat at some time in the future; the exact schedule is now the subject of litigation. So currently there are 133 elected representatives holding election certificates: 67 Republicans and 66 Democrats. Republicans hold a majority, brought about by the fact that Democrats cheated and got caught. Democrats are panicked over the prospect that they will lose control over one house of Minnesota’s legislature, and they have determined on a desperate strategy. The 2024 legislative session begins on Tuesday, and all 66 Democrats are going to refuse to show up for work. Their theory is that by hiding out, they will prevent the establishment of a quorum, and thereby disable Minnesota’s House (effectively, the entire legislature) from doing any business. They hope that at some point in the future, they will win a special election in 40B, at which time they say they will go back to work. Meanwhile, they intend to continue drawing their pay as legislators. Will that contemptible strategy work? I don’t think so. The controlling constitutional provision is Article IV, Section 13: In my legal opinion, the language is perfectly clear. Currently, there are 133 (not 134) members of the Minnesota House. Section 13 doesn’t say the majority of districts, of which there are 134, it says the majority of the house, which has 133 members. So 67 votes are a majority, and a quorum. {snip} Do Minnesota’s House Republicans have the guts to do the right thing and stand up for our state’s Constitution and laws, and for the voters who elected them? I think they do. Their leadership–Speaker-to-be Lisa Demuth and Majority Leader-to-be Harry Niska–is both strong and able, and the caucus is united. I think there is a very real prospect that this crisis will serve to discredit the Democrat Farmer Labor party in the eyes of voters, so that its tenuous grip on power will be decisively broken, and Minnesota will swing to the right. The action will play out in the coming days, and we will continue to report. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/01/constitutional-crisis-in-minnesota.php
