Listen. I’m glad Paul Ryan is “very disturbed” that disgraced FBI attorney Lisa Page has defied a congressional subpoena. He should be. Page was supposed to appear this morning and, apparently, decided she had better things to do than comply with the law.
Yesterday, I offered this collection of left-wingers indulging in a pre-planned freakout over the Kavanaugh nomination. This morning, Dan shared a video of some of the same politically-neutered folks screeching and wailing as if the world would soon end. A few minutes ago, the boss explained why he thinks the “stop Kavanaugh” effort is headed for failure. Now, I’ll go him one better.
At the top of this page, you’ll see a picture of Cory Booker surrounded by “Stop Kavanaugh” signs. This image was posted on Twitter at roughly 9:13 PM last night. Considering the time of the announcement, this means one of two things:
Let’s face it. If you work for CNN, you’re part of a machine that’s pushing a very specific agenda. Your goal is to attack, demonize, and bring down the presidency of Donald Trump by any means necessary.
Tonight at 9PM, President Trump will unveil his next Supreme Court nominee. That person will, immediately, be reviled by the left. They will be branded a racist, a misogynist, a Nazi, a monster, a fascist, and all of the other standard left-wing attack labels.
For years, it seemed like there was no fight that Mitch McConnell wasn’t prepared to lose. Like most conservative outlets, that meant we gave Mitch quite a bit of (well deserved) grief.
Panic! Hysteria! Rage! Hand-wringing and hyperbole! The left is in free fall right now, and they seem to be blissfully unaware that the fear tactics they’re still employing are the very things that got them into this mess in the first place. They offer nothing but excuses for their losses, they present no viable path forward, and they spend all their time pointing fingers at the alleged perpetrators of our global doom.
The nomination of the next Supreme Court nominee has the media in a tizzy, conservatives excited, and Democrats in as sort of bipolar hysteria that careens wildly back and forth between rage and panic.
Last week, liberal hearts were all aflutter. 28-year-old socialist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, managed to push New York Congressman Joe Crowley out of a seat he’d held for a decade. Suddenly, the far-left had a candidate they could get behind.
A funny thing happened over the weekend: Democrats admitted that “elections have consequences.” Sure, we’ve heard them use that phrase when they defeat a Republican, but it’s pretty rare that they bring it up when the White House isn’t occupied by one of their own. Clearly, something has changed.
Maxine Waters is currently having something of a “moment.” She’s gone from being a semi-obscure crackpot to being a near-constant talk show fixture overnight. She’s also becoming the face of the left side of her party, and Republicans couldn’t be happier about it.
Alternate headline: “It’s all about me.”
Barack Obama is concerned. He thinks Democrats should be concerned. No, not about Trump (though we’re sure he worries about the elimination of his legacy) and not about Republicans either. No, Obama is concerned about something else.
If you spent any time on the interwebs yesterday, you were treated to a left-wing meltdown the likes of which we haven’t seen since Election Night 2016. After a brutal week of Supreme Court defeats, Democrats were rocked by the news that Justice Anthony Kennedy was retiring. The fact that Donald Trump will a get at least one more bite at the SCOTUS apple drove them into a wild fit from which they’re never likely to recover.
As if the Democrats Hadn’t had enough bad news from the Supreme Court this week, Justice Anthony Kennedy has announced his retirement. That means President Trump will get another bite at the SCOTUS apple -something which is sure to send leftists everywhere into anaphylactic shock. If you thought they were unhinged before, I suspect “we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”
If you like watching leftists eat their own, 2018 is shaping up to be your year. After being shafted by their own party in 2016, the election and presidency of Donald Trump has driven them into a white-hot, self-destructive, rage. That’s why we’re seeing things like the violent harassment of opponents, the dumping of Joe Crowley for a radical socialist in New York, and unhinged activists turning on the people they used to support.
As you’re probably aware, the Democratic Party has money troubles. Their 2016 presidential candidate was an atrociously expensive failure, and they’ve been having serious trouble raising funds since her implosion. Back in February, it was widely reported that the DNC had just $6.5 million in the bank and was saddled with $6 million in debt. Things haven’t improved much since then.
Ever since Maxine Waters made her comments calling for mobs to harass prominent Republicans, the media has been rife with stories about Democrats who are allegedly denouncing her. The narrative is that enlightened lefties – particularly those in positions of political power – are peace-loving individuals who want to live in a calm, genteel, world.
If you thought the Democrat histrionics had been ramped up about as far as they could go, brace yourself. As the saying goes, “you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.” This morning, in a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Trump’s travel ban. The decision has the libs in yet another meltdown, for the very first time in oh… about twenty minutes.
Will’s argument is boils down to a self-destructive temper tantrum
Sometimes I feel sorry for New York. There are places, well outside of NYC, where actual honest-to-goodness sane people live. They don’t have much of voice in the state’s politics because the cities overwhelm them, but they do exist. Sadly, they get saddled with people like Andrew Cuomo and Cynthia Nixon – two candidates in a desperate race to prove who can be the more left-wing Governor.
