Watch: Dem. Delegate's Hissy Fit Ends in Mic Being Cut After She Proves She Has No Idea How House Actually Works

Watch: Dem. Delegate's Hissy Fit Ends in Mic Being Cut After She Proves She Has No Idea How House Actually Works: 

She might “have a voice,” but she doesn’t seem to have much understanding of her job.

Delegate Stacey Plaskett, who represents the U.S. territory of the Virgin Islands, had her microphone cut in the middle of a tirade Friday over the voting rights for U.S. territories in Congress when it comes to the House speaker.

As it turns out, they have none — something a U.S. delegate should probably be aware of, if she understood at all how the House works.

The Six Triple Eight, one of the most bizarre films of all time

@bariweiss "Britain now stands shamed before the world!

The public’s suppressed wrath is bubbling to the surface in petitions, calls for a public inquiry, and demands for accountability. - Clarice Feldman 

@bariweiss
The scandal is already reshaping British politics. 

It’s not just about the heinous nature of the crimes. 

It’s that every level of the British system is implicated in the cover-up.

• Social workers were intimidated into silence. 
• Local police ignored, excused, and even abetted pedophile rapists across dozens of cities. 
• Senior police and Home Office officials deliberately avoided action in the name of maintaining what they called “community relations.” 
• Local councilors and Members of Parliament rejected pleas for help from the parents of raped children. 
• Charities, NGOs, and Labour MPs accused those who discussed the scandal of racism and Islamophobia. 
• The media mostly ignored or downplayed the biggest story of their lifetimes. Zealous in their incuriosity, much of Britain’s media elite remained barnacled to the bubble of Westminster politics and its self-serving priorities.

They did this to defend a failed model of multiculturalism..

You probably have noticed that the Democrat's J6 squealing has a muted feel to it.

Michael Smith - You probably have noticed that the Democrat's J6... | Facebook - Michael Smith 

That is for a several reasons - first, they have lost the con. 

After four years of the FBI hunting down and charging every grandmother whose toes touched the Capitol grounds, people don't believe them any more. 

• Had they stuck to people who actually committed property damage or violence, they might have had a chance, but sending armed FBI teams to arrest your grandpa and grandma, wasn't s good look...
•  People have noticed just how staged, melodramatic, and performative Democrat rage is. People recognize (AOC) Cortez's claims that she was worried about being raped and killed when she was a half a mile away in another building are as true as the photo of her crying over detained illegal aliens outside a parking lot chain link fence...

Biden Running on Fumes: Slurs His Way Through Evening Update on NOLA Terror Attack, Shuffles Away as Eerie Echo Picks Up

Biden Running on Fumes: Slurs His Way Through Evening Update on NOLA Terror Attack, Shuffles Away as Eerie Echo Picks Up: 

So, what did Joe Biden do Wednesday night? What presidents usually do in moments like these: Go on TV and make a statement. Biden spoke from Camp David and might as well have shuffled in with a bathrobe and slippers, so slurring and borderline coherent were his remarks. Nothing was said that America did not know when the remarks were given, especially since the details he provided from the FBI were included in the press office media release hours earlier.

The British government considers introducing a formal definition of Islamophobia.

Wayne State asks ‘employer partners’ to make ‘DEI pledge’

“We invite our employer partners to complete this pledge, which commits your company to uphold the diversity, equity, and inclusion standards of Wayne State University. Diversity is a core value at Wayne State University,” the Detroit public university states...

Because of this, the school promises to “hold” “employers accountable for promoting equitable access” for its students, “including our Black, Hispanic/LatinX, Indigenous, Students of Color, women, LGBTQ+ students, students with disabilities, and international students.”...

'Very worried': Top Republican sounds alarm on spending choices creating 'nightmare' in U.S. * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs

'Very worried': Top Republican sounds alarm on spending choices creating 'nightmare' in U.S. * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs: 

"I'm very worried," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel. "I'm very worried that if we don't put border first and get it done, it's going to be to a nightmare for our national security. We've got millions of illegal immigrants that President Trump has promised to deport, and he should. Why are we doing mass deportation? Because we had mass illegal immigration," he continued.

A clear and PRESENT danger!

 

Wrong, World Meteorological Organization, There Is No Evidence “Climate Change Impacts Grip[ed] Globe in 2024”

While the narrative is emotionally compelling for low-information readers, it falsely conflates short-term weather events with long-term climate trends. - Anthony Watts
The World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) article, “Climate Change Impacts Grip Globe in 2024,” paints a dire picture of a planet spiraling into chaos, with extreme weather events attributed to anthropogenic climate change...

• One of the core flaws in the WMO article is its failure to differentiate between weather and climate...
• In short, the WMO’s approach is highly misleading, using weather events as propaganda tools to sell the narrative of a climate emergency...
• In the 1920s, the global average annual death toll from such disasters was approximately 485,000. Today, that number has fallen by over 98%, to fewer than 10,000 annually...

The good, the bad and the ugly at the end of Michigan’s Democratic trifecta

And a bit of hope for 2025 - Jarrett Skorup  

As two years of full Democratic control of the Michigan Legislature come to an end, we can now look back on what the party accomplished...
The list includes:

• Hiking the income tax. Michigan became the only state in the country to increase income tax rates in recent years.
• Repealing the state’s right-to-work law. This is a $1,000-per-year hike on what workers in unionized firms are forced to pay.
• Higher energy costs that amount to $200 billion in total and hundreds of dollars per month to Michigan families, for increasingly bad service.
• Over the past two years, Democrats (and a few Republicans) also voted for more than $4 billion in corporate welfare – select business subsidies, paid by everyone else to benefit a few. These programs have been a historic failure, creating only one out of 11 jobs promised. 
• One of the latest deals saw taxpayers shell out $666 million to General Motors for fewer than 100 jobs...

Good for them!-----Report: LGBTQ Flocking to Gun Ranges Ahead of Trump Inauguration

Report: LGBTQ Flocking to Gun Ranges Ahead of Trump Inauguration - AWR Hawkins 

According to the Inquirer, “The … Liberal Gun Club … has received thousands of training requests since the election, more than in all of 2023,” a quarter of which are from members of the LGBTQ community.
The Socialist Rifle Association has seen a surge in memberships as well, as have the Pink Pistols.

A Pink Pistols’ slogan says, “Armed Gays Don’t Get Bashed.”
Matthew Thompson, a New Jersey resident who is gay, said, “The people I’ve been seeing on the left and the gay people who are out purchasing guns for the first time, it’s all about self-defense and fear … We’re not looking to arm up and storm the Capitol. We just don’t want to be put in concentration camps.”...

Undeniable!

 

'January surprise': Is Biden about to pull an Obama-style stab in back against Israel? * WorldNetDaily * by David Brummer

'January surprise': Is Biden about to pull an Obama-style stab in back against Israel? * WorldNetDaily * by David Brummer: 

JERUSALEM – As the Biden administration enters the final stretch of its disastrous run, people's attention has turned to what the final two-or-so weeks will bring. As far as Israel is concerned there appears to be both hope and concern with a proposed multi-billion dollar arms sale offset by the potential for an Obama-style stab in back at the United Nations.

Medical Doctor drops truth bomb: Growing ‘pandemic preparedness’ industry ‘like arsonists running the fire department’ - LeoHohmann.com

I came across an excellent article today at the Brownstone Institute that I’d like to share. 

It’s authored by a rare physician with courage to stand up and state the obvious about what’s going on in our country right now. 

• Forced masking, 
• lockdowns, 
• vaccine mandates, 
• social media censorship 

are all coming back...

Last time it was Covid, a disease pre-engineered in government laboratories. 

Now it’s the bird flu, a disease that’s been around for as long as there’s been birds.

• And why, when we’ve already been through this tragedy and seen through all of the lies, is it coming back around again, like a bad dream that keeps repeating itself?
• I’ll tell you why. 

Because the globalist elites who ran the first psychological operation, many of them tied in with the military and intelligence agencies, know from experience that they can get away with it...

The shocking but real reason Biden awarded George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom * WorldNetDaily * by David Kupelian

The shocking but real reason Biden awarded George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom * WorldNetDaily * by David Kupelian: 

He funds efforts to legalize dangerous drugs, he supports euthanasia and assisted suicide, and he funds Black Lives Matter. He is for socialism and globalism and open borders and "defunding the police." He's for devaluing America's currency – once telling the Financial Times that "an orderly decline of the dollar is actually desirable" – even though that amounts to an outright theft of Americans' life savings and investments. He favors the destruction of American sovereignty in favor of "global governance." He doesn't like Israel and has supported her enemies. He detests fair elections and truthful news coverage, and indeed funds organizations that daily attack the only free press America currently has (including Soros-funded attacks on WND and this writer).
