OH MAN! Obama’s Brother Suggests That Michelle Is Really ‘Michael’

Don’t expect Malik Obama to be getting a Thanksgiving invitation to the Obama compound this November…

The former President’s brother who has frequently been a critic of his famous sibling has gone where few have dared to venture by suggesting that is sister-in-law, former FLOTUS Michelle Obama may really be a “he”  or in his words…

YIKES!

Not to lend any credence to the ugly rumor that the Emir Of Obamastan’s wife may be a transvestite – there are those who will – but expect this lurid rumor to fuel speculation from those who have pointed out that Michelle has the physique to play free safety for the Chicago Bears.

The American Mirror has the story on this family feud HERE.

The Beta male ex-POTUS has always seemed to be a bit light in the loafers so brother Malik may have stirred up some real shit here in terms of the inevitable conspiracy theories.

House Democrats Block 19 Times Vote on Bill to Protect Babies Who Survive Abortion

Nineteen times House Democrats have blocked a vote on a bill that would protect babies who survive an abortion.

“It is a shocking reality that the majority party in the people’s House refuses to allow a vote to protect the lives of newborn babies,” Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., chairman of the Republican Study Committee, said in a statement.

This bill simply affords infants born alive during a failed abortion attempt the same care any other newborn would receive. I cannot comprehend how any person could justify standing in the way of these children and the lifesaving care of a physician—but that is the position of today’s Democratic party.

On Thursday, House Democrats yet again blocked a vote on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would require medical professionals to give the same medical care to a baby who survives an abortion as they would to any other baby of the same age, and to take the baby to a hospital.

If an abortionist intentionally kills the child who was born alive, he or she would face fines or up to five years in jail, according to a press release from House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La.

Monica Burke, a research assistant in the DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at The Heritage Foundation, says the issue shouldn’t be political.

“Providing babies who survive an abortion with proper medical care should not be controversial,” Burke said. “Current law is insufficient to protect these infants. Current law does not stipulate that doctors must provide care for these children, which means that children can be left to die without legal consequences. Taking measures to protect innocent, vulnerable babies with bills like the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act would be a step in the right direction.”

Republicans have been calling for unanimous consent on the born-alive legislation as they attempt to keep the issue publicly alive while they gather signatures for the discharge petition.

The discharge petition strategy, which is rarely successful, requires gathering at least 218 signatures from House members to oblige the chamber’s Democratic leadership to bring the bill to the floor for debate and a vote.

Discharge petitions may be considered on the second and fourth Mondays of the month when the House is in session.

Republicans currently hold 197 seats compared with Democrats’ 235 seats, meaning Republicans would have to acquire 21 signatures from Democrats to force a floor vote.

Bernie’s mission in 2020: Let me explain why socialism is awesome

Don’t we have a century of experience in socialism that speaks for itself? No no no, Bernie Sanders tells New Hampshire Public Radio in an interview this morning. Americans have the wrong idea about socialism, all evidence to the contrary, and he’s making it his mission in 2020 to sell it as a brand:

“I think what we have to do, and I will be doing it, is to do a better job maybe in explaining what we mean by socialism — democratic socialism. Obviously, my right-wing colleagues here want to paint that as authoritarianism and communism and Venezuela, and that’s nonsense.”

Thirty years ago, I worked with an older man named Lowell who was as ardent a socialist as Sanders is today. We spent a lot of time arguing about the nature and the end game of socialism, during which Lowell would use the Soviet Union as the example of how it can succeed in sustaining itself. After its collapse, Lowell switched arguments and insisted that the Soviets had never been proper socialists in the first place.

We have already begun to see that argument coming from others, not just Sanders. A few years ago, American fans of socialism cheered the Chavistas and Maduro as successful socialists who had ended exploitation by international capitalists in Venezuela. Hollywood activists swooned over Hugo Chavez in particular as the savior of the poor. Now that Venezuela is in its second week of a nationwide blackout and massive starvation has swept its former first-world land, suddenly the idea that Venezuela adopted actual socialism is “nonsense.” Riiiiiiiight.

What does Bernie mean by “democratic socialism”? That’s a bit of a muddle for the man who keeps using the term:

“What I mean by democratic socialism is that I want a vibrant democracy. I find it interesting that people who criticize me are busy actively involved in voter suppression trying to keep people of color or low-income people from voting, because they don’t want a vibrant democracy. I do.

“Second of all, what it means, Rachel, is that in the wealthiest country in the history of the world we can provide a decent standard of living for all about people. That’s just the reality. That’s not Utopian dreaming; that is a reality. Health care for all can be done and we can save money in doing it. We can have a minimum wage which is a living wage, and I’m delighted to see that you know, right now, five states already passed fifteen dollars an hour minimum wage. The House of Representatives is gonna do it. We have got to do that.”

Notice that this answer doesn’t actually provide a definition for “democratic socialism,” because such a definition doesn’t actually exist. The term is an oxymoron, theoretically and especially in practice. Socialism requires the seizure of the means of production, which is not democracy in any way, shape, or form. It doesn’t have minimum wages but forced redistribution of wealth in a state frozen by ending capitalism which produces it. That redistribution has to be performed by authoritarian mechanisms with enough strength to seize the wealth and production in the first place.

Lest anyone mistake Sanders for something less than a socialist, this is precisely what would happen in a Medicare for All program. The federal government would seize control of the health-care industry by forcing all providers to accept reimbursement for costs from Washington bureaucrats. That would force the government to ration care as the provider pool stops expanding to meet demand, effectively redistributing care along the preferred political priorities of those in charge. When that results in widespread dissatisfaction, more and more authoritarian steps would be imposed to meet the program targets — and more and more corrupt officials would rise to fake those results and sustain the program.

We already know this because we’ve seen it happen in Venezuela in every industry … and here in the US in the Veterans Administration in the health-care industry. The only reason we don’t see more of it in Medicare now is because the private sector is overcharging other patients in order to cover Medicare losses. Once Sanders and the other “democratic socialists” prohibit private health insurance, we’ll all be in a VA disaster. If we’re lucky, that is; we might end up in the equivalent of the Indian Health Service.

Sanders doesn’t need to “a better job” in explaining socialism in 2020. The twentieth century and F.A. Hayek did a splendid job in explaining it already, and Venezuela has given everyone an object lesson as a reminder of it. Hard pass.

Judicial Watch Releases Police Report on Antifa Attack on Tucker Carlson’s Home, ‘Suspected Hate Crime’


Tucker Carlson

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch on Monday released the police report on the November 2018 Antifa attack on Tucker Carlson’s home.

On November 7th, 2018, a mob of Antifa-linked protesters dubbed “Smash Racism DC” showed up to Tucker Carlson’s DC-area home.

The group threatened Tucker Carlson and demanded that he leave town, saying that “tonight, we remind you that you are not safe either.”

Tucker Carlson’s lovely wife and four children were in the home as Antifa terrorists began to pound on the front door — frightened, Mrs. Carlson retreated to a room in the back of her home and called police.

Judicial Watch obtained the Metropolitan Police Department incident report in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

Via Judicial Watch:

According to the Washington Metropolitan Police Department report:

On the listed date, [Susie Carlson] heard loud banging and pounding on her front door. [Susie Carlson] went to investigate and saw a large group in front of her home. They had a bull horn and were chanting loudly. She retreated to a room in the rear of her home and summoned police. MPD arrived on scene and found a group of approximately 20 people. It was discovered that unknown persons spray painted an anarchy symbol on the driveway. There were also signs left on the vehicles parked in the driveway as well as a sign left on the front door of the home. The signs made reference to [Tucker Carlson’s] political affiliation.”

The report classifies the incident as “suspected hate crime” with the “hate bias/motivation” being “anti-political.”

Also, the report says that six “hand-written posters” were seized as evidence. A handwritten note included with the report says that the “suspected group is Smash Racism DC.”

“Tucker Carlson wasn’t merely ‘targeted by protesters,’ as some media reported. His family was terrorized by a mob of 20 people who vandalized his property,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.

Antifa showed up to Tucker Carlson’s home again last Friday dressed up as bananas.

“TUCKER CARLSON is so scary, it feels like Halloween. So let’s tell this slimelord how creepy he is at his home on Friday evening,” the event page for the protest read.

BOOM! Rep. Devin Nunes Sues Twitter for $250 Million in Damages for “Shadow-Banning” Conservatives to Influence Elections

Rep. Devin Nunes sues Twitter for $250 million in damages for censoring conservatives–

A 2018 study by the leftist website VICE News found that Twitter is censoring top pro-Trump lawmakers.

Twitter is targeting pro-Trump Republican lawmakers Matt Gaetz, Devin Nunes, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan and John Ratcliffe with the same shadowbanning technique.

Twitter is also censoring prominent pro-Trump accounts including: Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, Paul Joseph Watson, TGP’s Jim Hoft, TGP’s Cassandra Fairbanks, former TGP writer Lucian Wintrich, TGP’s Cristina Laila and Laura Loomer .  Laura Loomer has since been eliminated from Twitter.

Nunes in 2018 said the House is looking at legal remedies to deal with Twitter’s censorship of conservative voices.

Rep. Devin Nunes: I don’t know what Twitter’s up to. It sure looks to me like they are censoring people. And they ought to stop it. And we are looking at any legal remedies that we can go through.

Via Sunday Morning Futures:

On Monday Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) sued Twitter and a handful of users for “shadow-banning” conservatives to influence elections.

FOX News reported:

California GOP Rep. Devin Nunes filed a major lawsuit seeking $250 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages against Twitter and a handful of its users on Monday, accusing the social media site of “shadow-banning conservatives” including himself to influence the 2018 elections, systematically censoring opposing viewpoints and totally “ignoring” lawful complaints of repeated abusive behavior.

In a complaint filed in Virginia state court on Monday, obtained by Fox News, Nunes said Twitter was guilty of “knowingly hosting and monetizing content that is clearly abusive, hateful and defamatory – providing both a voice and financial incentive to the defamers – thereby facilitating defamation on its platform.”

The lawsuit alleges defamation, conspiracy, and negligence, and seeks not only damages, but also an injunction compelling Twitter to turn over the identities behind numerous accounts he says have harassed and defamed him.

The cartels and their ‘conveyor belt’ system of bringing asylum-seekers to the US

Cartels have long been in the business of facilitating the illegal entry of aliens into the US. But the coyotes have discovered a way to drastically lower their overhead costs while maximizing profit.

It’s called the “conveyor belt” system where the cartels use buses to bring Central American asylum seekers through Mexico right to the US border. They then walk across the border and turn themselves in to border patrol officers as they seek asylum. This is a massive abuse of US asylum laws, but is tolerated by the courts, as well as Republicans and Democrats.

Washington Post:

Paying up to $7,000 per adult with child, families are transported to staging areas at ranches and hotels in southern Mexico, where they are organized into bus groups and rushed north along Mexican highways, “stopping only for food, fuel and bathroom breaks,” according to the U.S. law enforcement documents.

[…]

Within 72 hours of leaving the staging areas, the buses arrive at predetermined drop-off points within walking distance of the U.S. border. Migrant families are clustered into groups that have at times exceeded 300 adults and children, and they walk directly across the border, in some cases stepping over barriers in long, orderly lines. They then surrender to U.S. Border Patrol agents and initiate asylum claims.

[…]

By using the direct-bus method, smugglers can eliminate the need for stash houses along the border where they would normally keep migrants under the watch of armed guards before sneaking them across the border. The express routes “minimize overhead and maximize capacity,” according to the U.S. documents, allowing smugglers to reduce “operational costs to a minimum.”

Brietbart’s Neil Munro lists some of the loopholes that allow this practice:

The judges’ loopholes, for example, require border officials to quickly release migrants who bring their children with them across the border. The resulting catch-and-release policy allows the migrants to get through the border wall and into U.S. jobs in one day.

Judges have also moved quickly to block any countermeasures by the U.S. government. For example, a revision of “credible fear” asylum rules set by former Attorney Gen. Jeff Sessions was blocked nationwide by a judge even before a trial. The block ensures that nearly all migrants can get released into the United States by merely asking for asylum, regardless of whether they have grounds for seeking asylum.

Similarly, GOP and Democratic politicians have done little to slow the rapid growth in migrants. In fact, the February budget deal provides hundreds of millions of dollars in aid, transportation, and welfare for migrants as they cross the border. The budget deal also reduces the number of jail spaces where migrants can be kept until their asylum claims are heard.

Most of the migrants are not schooled in the ins and outs of US asylum laws, so someone is teaching them how to game the system. Otherwise, it’s the same old story; while waiting for their court hearing on asylum – a wait that lasts years – the migrants disappear into the US heartland and work illegally. 

Outside of jawboning the Mexican government, very little is done to halt this massive flow of migrants. It’s estimated that up to one million Central Americans will enter the US this way this year. That’s an intolerable burden on local governments who are forced to feed, school, and care for the newcomers for years.

Sending asylum seekers back across the border to wait in Mexico is an option, but the Mexican government only allows a certain number back into their country. More pressure must be placed on Mexico to halt this human trafficking instead of turning a blind eye to the “conveyor belt.”
