I do indeed think

that MANY of the historical epithets used by the Left have lost virtually ALL their punch! Call me a racist–YAWN. Now “Far-Right) <snore>. Look, no one cares anymore. No one…

When certain words have been over-used and abused over decades, they lose any visceral “punch.” It actually becomes a rather sardonic “badge of honor” to be called “Far-Right,” “Misogynist,” “racist,” or “bigot.”

You really aren’t effective as a conservative in any way unless you are being called these things! I know that was not the Lefty intent, but that is the way things are now. The intent was to shame people into submission. But we crossed that bridge more than a decade ago…

I really don’t think

Lefty women realize the very really problems they now face as a direct result of them siding with evil in the case of Lindsay Clancy brutally murdering her kids. Suddenly men are becoming very aware of what actually makes “wife material.”

Yes, princesses, there are very real consequences to your actions!

I agree, it’s pretty

logically sketchy to say that the first three are OK but NOT the fourth. PICK A LANE, FOOL!

Look, even pretty

extreme Lefty politicians are not nearly extreme enough for the baying hounds of the “Democrat” Jew-haters! Jewish people, you do realize that the Left is not your friend and the Right is, don’t you?

Even Ro Khanna is getting heckled for defending against Jew-haters baying for blood! Yes, there are some very real dangers in keeping a vicious dog. Think “The Hound of the Baskervilles.”

So when Khanna took part in a live-streaming event hosted by the self-described “anti-establishment” outlet Drop Site yesterday, the revolutionaries let him know what was expected of him. The site’s Jeremy Scahill attempted repeatedly to force Khanna to say that Hamas has a “right” to kill Israelis.

…Khanna, like Scott Wiener before him, wants credit for agreeing to the radicals’ premise without having to pay the price of following through. He’s now learning that the radicals, like the terrorists they support, will not be pacified by anything short of lawless violence. There’s some hope in this. Because as the radicals reject Democrat after simpering Democrat, the liberal establishment will be forced to rethink its calculated acceptance of leftist anti-Semitism.

Democrats should

beware, and they have spun wilder and wilder. A vicious dog may indeed attack the owner, and they may find that they have really stepped in it.

Backfire! Truth

Ted Cruz is usually

a whole lot wiser than this. Here’s what I think almost for sure happened: He was listening to the howling “Black Pill” doofs (or worse) and failed to verify the claims himself. And THAT led him into big trouble.

Yeah, the US truly is NOT giving Iran a cent. What the agreement says is that the US will, contingently, lift sanctions on Iran and allow other countries to give $300 billion in reconstruction aid.

I have long liked Ted Cruz, and think he is brilliant. But he was just plain wrong, here. He needs to up his game a bit…

The better news came from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who said President Trump’s action created an opportunity to ensure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon. Rutte also called the restoration of free passage through the Strait of Hormuz a massive step forward and said many allies, through a French and British effort, were ready to support it.

… President Trump is trying to end a war, reopen a vital sea lane, and keep Iran from a nuclear weapon. If the deal fails, let it fail on the truth. If it works, don’t give the other side a lie to hang around its neck.

Could the destroyer

of Democrat mid-term fantasies be… Joe and Jill Biden?

If she thought it would clear her of the concerns people had about what she knew about her husband’s issues, in fact, the book and the things she said about it just made things worse. On top of that, she’s reminded everyone how bad it was under Joe Biden, and why people shouldn’t vote for Democrats, right as people are gearing up for the midterms in November. 

Can you imagine what he [Joe Biden] might say in that book if it drops right before the midterms? I’d like to hear about so many things, and he’s bound to verbally trip all over himself with what he says versus reality. What a gift that’s likely to be for the Republicans, especially if he does a book tour. That would likely be a cornucopia of bad moments for the Democrats. And then the things that the aides and other Democrats must have on his condition and what went on behind the scenes have to be legion and might come out. 

But WILL Joe come out with his book before the mid-terms? It’s hard to know.

On one hand, Joe is very likely to get all sorts of Democrat pressure NOT to publish right now. There is a lot on the line for them, and the last thing they need is for Joe to remind people why they hated the Democrats and how Democrats lied to them. They want to focus on the election, not on an amazingly unpopular Joe and Jill Biden.

BUT, there are good reasons for him to publish it now:
1) After the mid-term election it will simply be irrelevant. Joe wants to sell books, and so does his publisher. There is MUCH less money for him if he waits–it’s kind of now or never.
2) Joe is more than a little vindictive and narcissistic (a dangerous combination), and he has NOTHING to lose now. He might well be more than happy to kick Democrats in the teeth, showing them his might and power. Joe has shown that he wants revenge and gleefully extracts it in face of perceived slights. He believe that Democrats slighted him, and he wants revenge.
3) Joe (and Jill) have nothing to lose by publishing. It makes no difference to them if Democrats suffer–selling books, revenge, and being on the national stage are all FAR more important to them!

You know what

would be REALLY funny?

I’m gonna laugh at my butt off if it turns out that a nominal Republican takes the California governorship! I strongly suspect that that won’t happen, and I don’t even know how conservative these two folks are. But it would still be dang funny!

And the fact that this happens because the Democrats rigged the election with a self-dealing “jungle primary” is just icing on the cake! Sometimes evil will doth evil mar…

But the question is whether or not Californians have finally had enough. I think that the recent Malibu fires have made the issues really quite clear, and galvanized even some famous people (like Adam Carolla) to talk loudly and openly speculate whether this will lead to erstwhile Democrats “flipping.” Many of the people who were Democrat cheerleaders are now getting hit pretty darn hard, which is bad for the Left.

Even so, it’s quite clear that Californians will not change their voting patterns until they hit “rock bottom.” The question now is whether this is “rock-bottom” for the population as a whole or not. And I don’t know the answer to that question but I kind of doubt it.

Backfire! Change

So why would Trump

block the Strait of Hormuz? I thought he wanted it open!

Well, he didn’t. Or he changed and made it more specific.

But the situation was that Iran wanted to selectively block the Strait. Their “friends” (China in particular) who paid the extortion money would have NO problem. OTOH, anyone who sided withe the United States could not pass. The Mullahs would decide who could use the waterway and who couldn’t.

And of course the United States objected very strongly to such an arrangement. They would not let stand the policy that Iran’s friends could use the waterway, but those they disagree with could not. So now, everyone is blocked from using it.

And in any case, the United States is making a mint out of this. Trump made a great call on this! It damages Iran and China, and boosts the United States. THAT is a pretty good outcome…

So we aren’t closing the Strait, we are blockading Iranian ports. This means that Iran won’t be able to sell any oil. Two countries will be hurt: Iran and China, which buys 80% of Iranian oil. The Gulf States will be able to ship their oil through the Strait as soon as they choose to do so.

So the Democrat DHS

blocking is over. Sure ICE is not part of the funding, but they are independently funded through 2028, as I understand it. So who cares?

The U.S. Senate unanimously advanced legislation on March 27 approving funding for all components of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and some parts of Customs and Border Protection.

Yes, OF COURSE Democrats are opposed to immigration security! But then again, we ALL know very well that Democrats want illegal immigration–and why.

Also, I think the Democrats also realized just how bad of an idea it was for them to not fund TSA. It provoked sending ICE into airports and having them seen by everyone there. That was a VERY poor PR move by the Democrats. People saw that ICE agents were not the monsters that the Left continually described them as. ICE even handed out water bottles to travelers!

And they were amazingly competent and effective, and within a few hours, there were no more lines at the airport. Trust me, people appreciate that.

Because of how bad this looked, there was a collective, “OH CRAP!” from the Left on that. So the left scrambled to stop the bleeding. The end result was that they funded DHS, with virtually no concessions by the Republicans.

It was a masterful move of political Jiu-Jitsu by Grand Master Donald Trump.
