For Democrats, our kids are dough to be kneaded
The cultural crisis in America has deep roots, and we won't just vote our way out of it. To see the crisis clearly, watch a single minute of a California state legislator arguing in favor of a bill — signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on October 7 — that will "allow youth 12 years of age or older to consent to mental health care services," meaning children can leave home and enter residential treatment facilities without parental consent:

Of course parents cannot raise mentally healthy children, she says, because they're not even licensed by the state as mental health professionals. How can you possibly talk to your children without credentials? It isn't even proper to have that kind of unlicensed personal interaction, right? My favorite part of this discussion was when she assured us she definitely doesn't talk to her own children, because she doesn't have the right kind of professional license.
Hundreds of Israelis were slaughtered Saturday by Hamas terrorists. Thousands more were wounded, including those civilians who escaped the massacre of music-lovers at the Nova Festival near the Gaza-Israel border. Footage circulated online showing militants parading around civilian hostages as well as apparent victims of rapes, executions, and posthumous mutilations.
In the aftermath of the attacks, amid celebrations by pro-Palestinian groups in various Western cities, a handful of Democratic lawmakers in Washington rushed to criticize Israel and condemn its counteroffensive.
While most members of the so-called "Squad" issued similar statements, Democratic Reps. Cori Bush (Mo.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) have been met with the fiercest backlash, including by the president of Israel.
Members of the "Squad" — including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Cori Bush (D-Mo.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Greg Casar (D-Texas) — responded to the attacks over the weekend, demanding that Israel not retaliate.
Rep. Tlaib intimated that Israel may to be blame for Palestinian "resistance."
Tlaib also failed to condemn Hamas, reported the New York Post.
The the IRS attacked Tea Party groups ahead of the critical 2012 elections. At first glance, it may seem like a government agency went rogue. But then recall how the Department of Health and Human Services, around the same time, used the hammer of regulations and fines against the Little Sisters of the Poor for holding true to the right to life. And we mustn't forget how the Obama administration spied on reporters and used the Espionage Act against whistleblowers.
And the lengths to which the Justice Department, the FBI, and the media went to bury evidence of Hillary Clinton's wrongdoing ahead of the 2016 election, we might think it is just a rash of Hillary being Hillary. But when we also see the investigation of Clinton's opponent, manufactured and filled with false evidence by the same law enforcement agencies with the aid of the lapdog media to pervert the truth, that's more than a rash.
When compounded by a complicit political party acting on a mountain of lies and phony investigations to remove a duly elected president, any resident doctor would diagnose our body politic as gravely ill. But it's worse than that.
In 2020, when a movement began to demoralize and defund law enforcement agencies in cities nationwide, that symptom alone would require an emergency response. When more than 200 cities were burned and looted and when only a handful of the arsonists were prosecuted, even an amateur physician couldn't help but conclude that our nation's needful organs of common law and justice were failing.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) smeared Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife on Monday to argue that Thomas should recuse himself from a forthcoming case involving Donald Trump.
"I think it's very clear Clarence Thomas, and, rather, his wife, Ginni, participated in the events of Jan. 6," Ocasio-Cortez told CNN anchor Anderson Cooper without evidence.
First, Ginni Thomas did not "participate" in Jan. 6, a reference in the American political vernacular to the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. She did, on the other hand, attend the pro-Trump rally that took place outside the Capitol hours before the violence broke out.
Second, Ginni Thomas has not been charged with insurrection — or any crime, for that matter. If she had committed any wrongdoing related to Jan. 6, as Ocasio-Cortez suggested, then the Justice Department certainly would have prosecuted her, as the DOJ is aggressively prosecuting anyone who broke a law on Capitol Hill that day.
Third, the Supreme Court is not going to decide whether Jan. 6 was an "insurrection." Rather, the question before the court is, according to Trump's petition for certiorari: "Did the Colorado Supreme Court err in ordering President Trump excluded from the 2024 presidential primary ballot?"
The truth is: There is no evidence of the "textbook conflicts of interest" that Ocasio-Cortez claims exist.
Instead, Democrats are engaging in an intimidation campaign to force Thomas to recuse himself based on the political views of his wife, a standard to which they hold no other leader. And if Thomas doesn't comply, Democrats will argue the court has been delegitimized, causing Americans to doubt the objectivity of the court, especially as it relates to novel cases involving Trump.

The communist left literally wants to destroy Western culture and to do that they want to remove children from parents. That way clueless kids with no defense can be lied to and indoctrinated without parents passing on values to them. Why do you think they want to force parents out of everything to do with education and decisions about their own children.

Prog school teachers and school boards do not even want to invlove parents because they know they are substituting woke shit for real learning. I forget which Jim Crow Joe cabinet secretary considered a proposal to label parents who object the school brainwashing as domestic terrorists.

I'll say this, Reagan was great. In fact, until Trump, he was the best we had since at least Truman. President Nigger, he was the worst until biden. Clinton and the bush's were about the same IF you ignore the murders.

I used to like Clinton. But, he bears direct responsibility for the under water mortgage crisis that caused the 2008 financial meltdown. GW Bush does too as he continued the irresponsible lending practices.

Agreed that they should have taken action. Really tho, it was democRATs in congress that forced banks to lend to jigs who everyone knew couldnt pay their bills. This also enabled white trash (probably a higher number) to jump on the gibs me dat bandwagon aimed at blax and eventually, it collapsed. Sure, any of the POTUS's could have pumped the brakes and should have, but Congress was the real problem.
We were poor back then. AFTER the collapse, I was still paying 8% on a home loan and we got a refi at 3% or so on what was called "an Obama".

But, George W Bush did nothing to curtail the madness of lending money to people who would noramlly never qualify for a mortgage. Congressional GOP whicj had a majority supported it too.
That was an example of the duopoly that Garraty mentions from time to time.

As I said, ANY of the aforementioned POTUS COULD have and SHOULD have pumped the brakes.
In regards to bush 2, that limp noodle cunt wouldnt even push back against the hollyweird cunts making those 2 disgusting shows about him.
I would have a hard time picking a president who was more than fifty percent good than bad. I usually say Ron Paul is the best president the United States never had.

LOL! No, he was a coward. That sorry fuck couldnt even stand up and say ANYTHING to condemn the attacks against him OR CONservatives. What a worthless fuck!
But I'll tell you, the coup de grace, was when that filthy prick did this:

Thats true, but the worst part is they're RINO's. They arent real CONservatives. They support the swamp establishment. Thats the biggest problem CONservative America has with the GOP.

I was not a fan of George Bush, GW or Jeb. They are in the wrong party.
Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) argued on Monday that a $50-per-hour minimum wage is mathematically coherent.
At a debate for candidates vying for the late Dianne Feinstein's U.S. Senate seat, Lee tried to justify her demand that the U.S. government mandate that businesses pay their employees a minimum of $50 per hour.
California businesses have done the math.
Their calculations of the increased cost of labor from minimum-wage hikes show business owners must make a decision when the government forces them to raise wages: they pass along that cost to the consumer or reduce the size of their workforce to offset the payroll increase.
That is exactly what is happening in California right now after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed into law a bill forcing national fast-food chains that operate restaurants in California to raise their minimum wage to $20 per hour, effective April 1, 2024.
Pizza Hut operators responded to the law by announcing plans to eliminate their delivery driver workforce — thus laying off more than 1,000 employees — while McDonald's and Chipotle announced plans to offset the cost by raising menu prices.
Don't get me wrong, I want everybody earning a living wage. But, how about we raise wages first ny lowering inflation. That has to start with ending anti energy policies and stop wasting public money on exoensive and useless green energy bullshit.
