Ron Hart: After years of being well run by gutsy leaders, like most large corporations in America Coke has cowed to the PC Democrat overlords and has ordered its employees to act less white…In the parking lot at Coke, hybrid cars get to park up front. If I worked there, I’d park my Yukon in one of the coveted spots, tell management that it identifies as a Nissan Leaf, and just dare them to fire me. And they would — because I am white.
Whether the shows actually lecture people or not, the perception at this point is that award events are all about looking down at and mocking middle America. People just don’t want to hear it anymore.
Trump appealed to the forgotten middle class, but it’s not clear that that appeal would ever have gotten through to his supporters without his public and signature disdain of the pointy-headed media gurus and apparatchiki. Nor is it clear that any Republican can ever win again without the same constant smiting and trampling…
Media Matters for America did not provide the methodology used to establish its estimated 13,551 examples of Fox News misinformation about there pandemic, nor did it disclose a list of each instance of what it identified as Fox News misinformation for independent review. Despite this, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof promoted a Media Matters campaign to get cable providers to drop Fox News from their basic cable packages.
The 9/11 Commission should be a warning that Washington dignitaries are the last people we should trust to expose the truth.
Bryan Dean Wright: The bigotry of the Democrat base, the violence encouraged by its leaders, the physical harm perpetrated by hysterical followers, shows that the Democrat Party has become irredeemable. For Democrats like me, we have no choice but to leave and join the new, populist Republican Party.
The article of impeachment before the Senate is an unconstitutional act of political vengeance. This appalling abuse of the Constitution will only serve to divide our nation further at a time when we should be coming together to tackle the ongoing pandemic and other issues of national importance.
Psaki tweeted a gay slur at South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham late 2020, a tweet from August shows. “Only in 2020 does #LadyG get to push a bunch of debunked conspiracy theories while questioning @SallyQYates (aka an American hero),” Psaki tweeted last August. Psaki’s reference to “Lady G” refers to rumors that have circulated on social media about Graham’s sexuality.
If there was any doubt that Jan. 20 signaled the rebirth of the nanny state, the slew of executive actions signed by President Joe Biden on his first days in the Oval Office confirmed that it has returned with a vengeance.
Steve Calabresi: Whether or not Trump’s words were a violation of the criminal law, they fall squarely within the Framers’ definition of “a High Crime and Misdemeanor.” Impeachable offenses are crimes of state, which damage the Constitution. And that is what Donald Trump did with the “Bully Pulpit” of the Presidency.
Scott Gerber: Barring Trump from ever again holding federal office, which is what the Democrats are most committed to trying to do, would deprive the American people of the right to vote for or against the nation’s 45th president. The American electorate are not wards of the government. The Senate should not be making the choice for us.
In our brave new world, we will hear no more retired military officers weighing in on the “fascism” of the commander in chief. None will compare the recurring violence of antifa or Black Lives Matter to that of Islamic terrorists. None will compare Biden, who dismissed antifa as a mere “idea,” to Mussolini or the Nazis. Any retired officer who smears the president, we will be reminded, would violate the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
The United States Senate has no power over a former President of the United States.
Neil Patel: Biden focused most of his address on national unity. If anyone reading this doesn’t believe that Biden correctly identified the issue of our time, I’m not even sure what to say. It’s issue one, two and three.
The Daily Caller and the Daily Caller News Foundation had a combined six reporters at the Capitol building during the riot, all of whom said the crowd and the participants did not seem to include a significant Antifa presence. Most of those reporters spent the summer covering Black Lives Matter and Antifa protests and riots.
Strength is not the same as authoritarianism. No, Mr. President, we don’t believe in praising foreign dictators or abusing criminal suspects or castigating prisoners of war or making fun of our opponents’ appearance. This is beneath us as a party and as a nation. It may evince guilty laughter but it is not ennobling and loses votes. An appeal to our better angels works better in the long run.
They do not bum rush members of Congress. They do not assault strangers. They do not push and shove police officers and trash federal buildings. These are things criminals do, and criminals of any political stripe deserve one thing: the rule of law.
Anything that glorifies widespread harm to human beings should be banned.
If the end game is to install Kamala Harris as president, Joe Biden may not be able to rely on the institutional structures that have protected him from scrutiny for decades. It would be ironic if the same tactics that were supposed to have taken down Donald Trump wind up forcing out Joe Biden.
After spending the last six months trying to convince us that he doesn’t support extreme ideas like a full ban on fracking and the Green New Deal, Biden is creating bureaucratic positions for leaders that are fully behind those disastrous proposals.
No other newspaper, network, online or cable operation comes close to Fox News Channel’s reach, resources and impact. Reactively turning our backs because we disagree with their reporting from time to time embraces the liberal cancel culture we all oppose.
The Dems are so in bed with China, Hunter Biden’s Secret service code name is Dim Son….Back in the day, we had men’s men handling our intel. Congressmen who were war veterans and played football were in charge. If you wonder why we have the intel mess we have today, this is what happens when your intelligence leaders only went to band camp.
Though…many in the media focused on Alejandro Mayorkas’ heritage and career titles, they have largely overlooked his troubling past involving fringe open borders policies, legal scandals and fostering work environments that condone retaliation against employees who fail to share his immigration visions.
Some people prominently encouraging Georgia Republicans not to vote are former Democrats. Is it beyond the realm of possibility that they are trying to sow discord among Republicans to help their former party? In today’s politics, you can’t rule anything out, as horrible as that would be.
