RFK Disappoints

I was pulling for RFK to succeed in his confirmation hearing, if not just to shake things up in the swamp, but he certainly didn’t do himself any favors in that exchange with Liz Warren. I’m no fan of hers, but as the WSJ opined in yesterday’s editorial, his refusing to recuse himself from pursuing any litigation against the pharmaceutical industry while simultaneously running the Department of Health and Human Services is indeed a disqualifier.  We have enough government officials on the other side of the aisle enriching themselves with insider information. We can’t allow that sort of nonsense in our camp, and to do so would be hypocrisy…..and hypocrisy is the exclusive purview of the left. Disappointing that in this line of questioning , RFK came across as yet another swarmy attorney. That we don’t need.

The Duping Of The U.S

It goes against common sense that all these public school districts in sanctuary cities are vowing to protect their illegal immigrant students from immigration enforcement. According to the Education Department, you know the Federal Bureaucracy that keeps producing lower test scores and poorer outcomes for our public school students, every child “regardless of immigration status” is “entitled to an education.”  Entitled. You mean the children who are draining funds and resources from educating our citizen students, bogging down classrooms with language barriers, adding English as a second language to the curriculum, and, as has become fashionable as of late, feeding them breakfast and lunch at taxpayer expense. Most likely, they are the children of immigrants who don’t own property in the school district and are not paying school taxes. I don’t recall anyone asking me how my school taxes….the largest line item in my property tax bill…..are spent. And I don’t even have any school-age children because this level of global socialism isn’t what I had in mind. 

It seems like the American taxpayer, according to Democrat policy, is nothing more than the world’s cash cow. Domestically, we are expected to fund the importation, education, care, and feeding of unskilled immigrants, pay for the healthcare and living expenses of our own poor, and on the international stage, send exorbitant checks to countries that hate us, and we continue to shell out cash to disproportionately fund corrupt world organizations like the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and NATO. And, lest we forget we pay the salaries of perhaps society's most unproductive members: government workers and suspect career politicians. 

Columbia Denmark Rebuke

Columbia has to recognize that they’re a third-world nation and better find a way to capitulate to Trump’s agenda. The same goes for the Danish official who told Trump to F--k off. Denmark, with a population of just under six million, is known for its grit in resisting Russian incursions, but the Danes are long past their Viking heritage having any impact on the world stage. Face it: the US drives the world economy, and it’s refreshing to have a businessman president who recognizes that fact and is willing to deploy it as leverage.

Follywood

The Golden Globe awards are so patently ridiculous. California is burning and yet the Hollywood bunch so self- absorbed that they continue to reward themselves lavishly with gift bags worth tens of thousands of dollars and lgold trophies. The film with the most nominations, for comedy or musical, Emilia Pérez, is about the leader of a Mexican drug cartel who enlists the help of an attorney to fake his own death and transition into a woman. And it’s a musical.  Come again? Remember the good old days when adultery was risqué, then they moved on to homosexuality, and now transgender themes are in vogue.  Makes you wonder what’s next. Talk about out of touch. 

Hegseth Interrogation

Hegseth is off to the hill today. Once again, the obstructionist democrats are voting en Bloc, and we have in support the usual suspects, those two RINO jackasses Collins and Murkowski, potentially blowing the whole thing up. And all this because Pete, in his macho soldiering days, chased women and drank in excess. Heavens. We would have to fire virtually all our special forces by those standards. The two loudest accusers are an ex-wife and her sister, who happens to be the ex-wife of Pete’s brother. Gee, I wonder if these bitter divorcees have an axe to grind. But break out the smudged oversized eyeglasses because here we go again.

Democrat Projection

We have pointed out on numerous occasions the adage that if you want to know what subterfuge the Democrats are up to, you simply have to take note of the accusations that they are hurling at Republicans. The shrinks like to call this projection. Yet on his way out the door, the cynical, bitter, vindictive, and patently corrupt Joe Biden issued this statement, perhaps his most preposterous example of hypocrisy:  “I believe in the rule of law,” said the man who graduated at the very the bottom of his law school class, “But baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families,” even when they “have done nothing wrong and will ultimately be exonerated.”  Good riddance, Joe. 

Let The Games Begin

The leftist media, mainly the second-tier birdcage liners, was in full-throated glee this morning, fact-checking and criticizing everything Trump signed, said, and what the family members wore. Only the fashion-dull Jill Biden received praise for her attire as well as Usha Vance, who frankly could have worn a burlap sack as the media sees her, despite being bright and accomplished, as merely an opportunity as a person of color who may not be fully onboard with MAGA policy. The fashion-forward and perpetually elegant Melania and Ivanka were savaged for their fashion choices, as expected. The one factual description was for the appropriately attired Kamala Harris in a black ensemble zip-up, too casual and forgettable for the occasion, a lot like her campaign. Thankfully, Big Mike Obama failed to make an appearance, sparing us from lavish praise for her questionable fashion choices. And then there was Trump himself, in stark contrast to his predecessor, fielding mostly hostile questions while simultaneously signing executive orders in the Oval Office, parrying, sparring, and toying with the media. 78 years young at 10 PM after a long inauguration day and still sharp, quick on his feet, launching into the job and taking more questions in his first hours in office than Biden did in four years. An impressive display.
