Barack Obama’s Desperate Need to Hog the Spotlight

source: Victory Girls

He was our 44th President. His time was done at noon on January 20, 2017. He won’t leave the spotlight. He can’t. Time in the spotlight has become his oxygen. He’s not trying to prove a point. He just needs it. He is desperate. He’s got nothing else. He’s got nowhere else to go

Gavin Newsom Offers Diaper Service

source: Wall Street Journal

California’s government can’t keep homeless off the streets, keep energy prices low, or do much of anything else well. But never fear, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s state diaper service is here. The California Governor said Friday that the state will soon begin providing every “newborn delivered in a participating California hospital” 400 diapers at no cost.

Newsom announced that the California government is partnering with the nonprofit Baby2Baby to use taxpayer dollars to provide families with 400 “free” diapers for their newborns.

Virginia Dems Reveal a Radical Design

Virginia today is exactly what James Madison and other framers of the Constitution were afraid of: A faction — the Democrats — is using its success in the most recent election to try to rewrite the rules for future elections and is prepared to intimidate or destroy any institution that stands in its way, including the state's supreme court.

ICE arrested a criminal illegal alien from Cuba last week who was carrying fentanyl, narcotics, and cocaine.  The arrest of the illegal alien — who DHS said was previously convicted of drug trafficking — took place in Virginia, and serves as a reminder of how the state’s dangerous sanctuary policies under Democrat leadership threaten Americans’ safety.

“The View” Is a Cancer on the Culture and the Country

source: Townhall

there is a large audience of women watching this cancer grow and having it fill them with their ignorance. It is the basis of their understanding of the world.

Greetings! Weird. The free Trump White House daily newsletter that I receive every day featured a salute to Mother’s Day showcasing The Donald’s mother Mary Anne MacLeod Trump with this caption: “The Mother Who Saved America.” The president has quite a Jesus complex brewing...Funny. Killer Saturday Night Live open this weekend featuring Kash Patel (played by Aziz Ansari), Pete Hegseth (Colin Jost) and Brett Kavanaugh (Matt Damon) in a DC bar doing shots.  The jokes were extremely unflattering and I wonder how they landed with the trio, especially the thin-skinned Hegseth....Former TIME magazine editor and writer Richard Zoglin makes some stark comparisons between the media maverick Ted Turner, who died last week, and Donald Trump, especially as it pertains to philanthropy. “(A)s he grew richer and more famous, Turner plowed his money into public-spirited ventures that never would have occurred to Donald Trump,” writes Zoglin in a column for TheRighting. “(Turner) was open-minded, naïvely optimistic, confident in his ability to affect the world in positive ways. He had the life spirit. Trump is the death star”...The Trump-controlled Truth Social platform outperformed by a wide margin all other news websites monitored by TheRighting in April.  According to TheRighting’s research, year-over-year visits ballooned 45% last month.  All other news websites decreased except for a very modest increase at the Epoch Times.  The surprising three-month trend shows that the war with Iran is not driving more eyeballs to news websites...Kash Patel has penned an op-ed for Fox extolling the virtues of his agency's “AI overhaul” which he claims is producing record-breaking results for the bureau.  He concluded his essay writing, “America is safer than we’ve been in decades.” (Cue the gagging)...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Why is the former president so busy meeting with current world leaders? What’s his plan? Barack Obama plans to rejigger the United States to be like Europe—socialist, stagnant and under complete governmental control.

Why Won’t Barack Obama Go Away?

He apparently admitted that his politicking is causing "genuine tension" in their marriage. It hardly seems like Obama's antics are helping his party, either.

Kamala Harris Is America’s Worst Politician
