[The Chinese Communist Party is celebrating 100 years of perfecting the ‘Communist Man’ on mainland China. Without even a close second, the CCP is the world’s most horrendous leading killer of its own citizens during peacetime. Experts who do such body counts place the number of Chinese who have fallen under the hand of Mao Zedong alone at somewhere between 100M and 200M, and they are not yet done. My conversations over the years with a number of native Chinese colleagues place the minimum killed at 120M. It is important to know that these deaths took place over multi-year spans (e.g. during their Cultural Revolution) under the direction and with the full knowledge of the CCP leadership. Communism, when a dominant form of governance and especially its Chinese version, is responsible for more purposed human death and misery than any other practiced form of such holocausts. Stalin with a body count of 30M, Hitler’s 6M, Pol Pot’s 2M, and Vietnam’s 2M are pikers compared to what the CCP has been able to accomplish on their road to hone their draconian version of socialism. None of this history is available to the devoted consumers of our lamestream media. The attempt to make an omelet continues to be a grizzly business that, nevertheless, looks more and more attractive to our own socialists in their planned efforts to purge the country of ‘racists’, capitalists, and ‘white supremacists’. gjr]

‘Biden Ripped For Bragging About Saving Americans 16 Cents: ‘Lunacy And Divorced From Reality’
“With an unprecedented humanitarian crisis at our border, soaring gas prices, and more out of control spending that will cripple our future generations, the Biden Administration is bragging about saving us $0.04 on sliced cheese.”
Guy Benson: “Remember when $1,000 worker bonuses during the roaring post-tax reform economy were ‘crumbs’?
Matt Whitlock: “Spent $2T for the American Rescue Plan and all we got was 16 cents off potato chips.”

Reports of a stressful work environment and staff being “thrown under the bus” in the office of the VP sound perfectly reasonable, if not also expected. Kackling Kamala is a demonstrated incompetent, and way in over her head both in her position and assignments. It would be surprising if this were not the situation in an office where the boss is confused, constantly embarrassed in the public forum, and therefore under tremendous stress to either cover up her chaotic operation, or somehow dig out from under the burdens that Bumblebrain has shifted to her shop.

Well George I commend Pence on his courage and independence to go against Trump and accept the election of Biden and to stand on his contention that blocking his election on Jan 6 would be unconstitutional. Here’s direct quotes from Pence. Do you agree with him?
“I will always be proud that we did our part on that tragic day to reconvene the Congress and fulfilled our duty under the Constitution and the laws of the United States,”
“There are those in our party who believed that in my position as presiding officer over the joint session that I possess the authority to reject or return electoral votes certified by the states,” Pence said. “But the Constitution provides the vice president with no such authority.”
“I understand the disappointment many feel about the last election,” Pence said. “But there’s more at stake than our party and our political fortunes in this moment. If we lose faith in the Constitution, we won’t just lose elections – we’ll lose our country.”

Great quote. That’s Mike Pence through and through. Same guy before he was eviscerated for refusing to go to lunch with any female unless accompanied by his wife or a fellow man. No being alone with a woman. Disrespectful to his wife and a married man should not go solo to lunch with another woman. No exceptions. Very practical. Suddenly became common practice after the MeToo# Movement revealed the wisdom of his morality. No one ever accused Mike Pence of improper behavior, except for the Lefty Lamestream Media who called him a racist and homophobe and patriarchal misogynistic White Supremest (Christian!!) bigoted Pro-Life Male for the years of his term.

BIDEN BELLYACHES ABOUT ARIZONA VOTING CASE DESPITE NOT HAVING OPPOSED THE RESULT
would call Biden and his DOJ sore losers, except that the administration didn’t lose this case. In a letter to the Supreme Court, the Biden Justice Department told the Justices it did not disagree with its prior conclusion, set forth in a brief by the Trump DOJ, that the two provisions of Arizona law at issue do not violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
Strictly speaking, there is no inconsistency between the DOJ’s agreement that the Arizona provisions are lawful and Biden’s disappointment with the Court’s decision. The majority opinion didn’t just uphold Arizona law, it also discussed the circumstances under which Section 2 challenges to “time, place, manner” restrictions on voting will be upheld. Clearly, Team Biden is not on board with that discussion.
But Biden didn’t just express disappointment with the majority’s reasoning. He agreed with Justice Kagan’s complaint in dissent that the Court’s decision upheld “a significant race-based disparity in voting opportunities.”
If that’s what Team Biden believes, why did it tell the Court when the case was pending that the two provisions under challenge don’t violate the law? And if it was concerned about the standards under which the case would be decided, why didn’t it file a brief saying what the proper standard should be? The DOJ told the Court it disagreed with the analysis of the Trump DOJ’s brief, though not its bottom line, but did not present its own analysis.
It’s odd enough that the supposedly apolitical Biden-Garland-Clarke Justice Department is taking pot shots at the Supreme Court in public statements about a voting rights case. Odder still is the fact that it’s making arguments it declined to make when it had the chance to make them to the Court.
And it’s beyond odd that Biden now is publicly disagreeing with a result his administration told the Court it didn’t disagree with.

‘MSNBC Host Accuses Josh Hawley Of Misquoting Ibram X. Kendi. It Was A Real Quote’
Eager to deny accurate claims that Ibram X. Kendi endorsed “racial discrimination,” MSNBC’s Joy Reid falsely told her viewers that a Republican U.S. senator who cited Kendi word-for-word was “misquoting” Kendi’s book. She also denied that Kendi’s controversial writings have anything to do with Critical Race Theory and implied that conservatives want black farmers removed from all arable farmland in the United States.
And despite claiming to “school” conservative think tank scholar Christopher Rufo about CRT, Reid blundered the name one of the bestselling books Rufo cited in their discussion.
Reid interviewed Kendi on Monday night’s episode of “The ReidOut,” where she invited the author to respond to a clip of Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO):
Ibram Kendi wrote this: “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.” That’s right, that’s what he said. Think about that for a moment. He’s saying that he’s opposed to equality under the law. Dr. Kendi and his followers are in no uncertain terms advocating for state-sanctioned racism.
Before Kendi could respond, Reid immediately poisoned the well — implying that the quotation must be false, because Senator Hawley said it.
“O.K., now given the fact that they can’t seem to quote Dr. King accurately,” she said without proof, “I’m going to assume that they’re misquoting you or giving the wrong context.”
Unfortunately for MSNBC, Senator Hawley quoted Kendi accurately. On page 19 of his book, How to be an Antiracist, Kendi wrote:…
,,,,,,Reid went on to claim that Republicans divide society, because they “have a new boogeyman to latch onto, Critical Race Theory.”
“What these politicians are objecting to is the factual analysis to our history, warts and all,” she said falsely. “But what they’re doing is far more pernicious. They have taken legitimate calls for critical self-reflection and demonized it into a catch-all phrase that they wield as a political cudgel.”
We look forward to Joy Reid setting the record straight about Kendi’s racist quotation, and offering Senator Josh Hawley a full apology for her baseless calumny, on Wednesday night’s show

Could a shit hole get any worse? Apparently the failure to stop riots and looting have a price whoda thunk? –
Target stores, which normally stay open until 10 p.m. in most cities around the country, will be closing at 6 p.m. in San Francisco, according to ABC7
This development comes after Walgreens announced it is closing stores because of the inability to keep people from continuously stealing from its stores.
The ongoing thefts have been dubbed “organized retail theft,” but it appears more like looting when several people invade a store and grab as much merchandise as possible before fleeing.
ABC7 reported Walgreens emailed the outlet and said the company told the San Francisco Board of Supervisors that theft in their San Francisco stores is four times more than the average in stores across the country. The company also spends 35 times more on hiring security personnel.
Walgreens has closed 17 stores in the Bay Area in the past five years.
The Public Policy Institute of California’s research shows San Francisco has the lowest arrest rate of any police department in California, according to the ABC7 report.

The Biden administration has placed emphasis on stricter gun control efforts in order to combat the crime surge, announcing his plan to use a “comprehensive strategy” that intends to end the use of ghost guns and hold firearm dealers accountable for violating federal gun laws.

Good ones Bill.
When grilling is outlawed,, only outlaws will have grills.
If that’s the case,, then what will the item on the front of your car be “redefined” as??

I can see not allowing grilling of black Angus beef. That is surely racist.
Are Charolais still OK? Or certain parts of Guernseys? I hope you don’t have to leave the skin on to prove it. That would be just wrong.

HOW RADICAL ARE THE TEACHERS’ UNIONS?
“The proposal carries with it a $343,580 appropriation to promote CRT and undermine America. Will it pass? I assume so. In any event, it certainly reflects the attitudes of the NEA and the large majority of its members. My organization works hard to combat CRT and to improve the public schools, but in many areas, it probably is parental malpractice to put one’s children in the hands of the extremists who now dominate public education.”

But, but, but the Lefties told me that CRT is not taught in public schools. CRT is just a theory discussed in post graduate doctoral classes.

‘Loudoun Mom Explains How She Discovered School-Sanctioned Racism During Lockdowns’
‘I don’t need my children being taught how to feel. Parenting is teaching your child those things, and I don’t co-parent with the government.’
(Interviewer) How did you and your fellow activists react to former governor and current gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe’s comments that critical race theory in schools was a “right-wing conspiracy” theory? Do you believe it will have an impact on his election chances?
(Interviewee) Some immediately thought, “Could you be any further out of touch?” Anybody who has talked to parents who have been living this for the last 15 months, he’s just completely out of touch. It’s really a slap in the face to parents. We do our homework. We have [open records] documents, and we have documentation. You would think somebody running for office would want to maybe talk to parents and not just dismiss us.

‘Taking Woke Education To Court’
The so-called “Equity Ambassadors Program” allows students as young as sixth grade to report on their fellow students if they perceive a student’s speech to be offensive or racist.
Initially open only to students who could check the right racial boxes, the program’s purported goal is to “amplify the student voice.” But one school leader was honest enough to admit its real purpose: to “identify microaggressions” among students – even those arising outside of school or on social media.
This may sound well-intended, but the program will have the exact opposite effect.
Rather than amplifying student voices, equity ambassadors will suppress them. Students will live in fear of their classmates, paranoid of offending their peers. If their comments are reported, students could face a ruined reputation or destroy their chances of attending college.
In short, this program will teach our children nothing but to fear others. It is not education; it is a tool of indoctrination.
This month, the Liberty Justice Center launched a new federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of parents and students in Loudoun to stop this censorship.

Gotta give Joe credit for trying to take credit for the Government free recovery. Well, despite the attempts to kill the recovery by killing jobs by the tens of thousands, paying people not to work. Yet there is Joe. Saying how great a job he’s done. “record this. Record that…” Yaa,, and just what did you actually do to get it going??,, Still no promised “ECO” jobs. Not a bill passed (crapping one don’t count) that amounts to anything.
But to be fair,, Trump set all this in motion before leaving office. Nope, Biden couldn’t kill this by exec. order.(that didn’t stop him from trying.)

The Veep From ‘Veep’
Column: ‘Kamala Harris can’t fix her office, much less the border’
“President Joe Biden has a problem, and her name is Kamala Harris. The vice president has become a comic figure in today’s Washington—a politician given to missteps and unforced errors who inspires neither loyalty nor trust within her inner circle. She might have been Biden’s safest pick for running mate. But now she’s a liability for both the president and the Democratic Party.
It’s not just that Harris is unpopular. Her unique combination of falsity and incompetence generates negative press and endangers her dreams of succeeding Biden. For Harris, the month of June has been an extended replay of highlights from Veep, the HBO comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a clueless and floundering politician on the make. Only Harris isn’t laughing.“
.”……..Then again, in the third season of Veep, the fictional president steps down. Louis-Dreyfus’s character becomes president. Think Harris is funny now? The joke might be on us.”

‘Wait, WHAT?! Queen Dragged to Jail for Sexual Assault’
You know, like ya do. But the woman “left and called the police, claiming sexual assault.” Cops came, Bukkake was arrest and spent two days in jail until the charge was dropped.
Now, cue the dramatic string section. “A queer life was disrupted. A queer space was disrupted,” Thompson wrote. It was “deeply upsetting” to “have a drag queen of color arrested during Pride month, after performing her act, on Juneteenth?” It’s all heart-rending, I’m sure.
But here’s the part where Thompson was right: He quoted “Kabuki Bukkake’s drag mother, D.C. drag staple Shi-Queeta Lee,” saying “everyone knows what a drag queen is by now.” Indeed, they’re inescapable:
At this point, going to a drag show, there are bound to be surprises, but any audience member knows more or less what to expect — and that is lewdness, the mocking of gender and sexual boundaries, drag queens practically playing jump rope with the lines of decency. And isn’t that what we come to see?
Maybe it is. I’ll take Thompson’s word for it. He says some people blame “RuPaul’s Drag Race” for expecting a PG rated show, or “the inexplicable prudish mindset of Gen-Z, pointing to the ongoing ‘No Kink at Pride’ controversy.” Damned gay puritans!

‘WATCH: AOC Proposes Shuttering Coal Plant That Provides 20% Of Puerto Rico’s Electricity’
“Now I want to debunk… ‘chicken little’ arguments on how if we would close the coal plants, it would cause catastrophic effects for the energy supply on the island,” Ocasio-Cortez commented during the hearing. “AES could close tomorrow while keeping the lights on and preventing price increases on the island.”
“Energy is the industry that powers every other industry,” Epstein countered. “The lower cost and more reliable energy is, the lower cost and more reliable everything is, and vice versa. I just want to stress that Puerto Rico’s energy situation is terrible, and one of the reasons I want to testify today is nobody is talking about that. They’re talking about ‘How do we maintain the status quo?’ The status quo is terrible in Puerto Rico.”
“It definitely needs more low cost, reliable energy,” he continued. “And just as one more comment, it doesn’t seem like anyone here knows the actual effect.”
Revealing his disappointment that Ocasio-Cortez would consider shutting down the coal plant, Epstein noted that only 2.5% of Puerto Rico’s energy comes from renewable sources.
“This is so disappointing that we’re talking about this so unseriously,” he noted.
Later in the hearing, Epstein added: “I don’t mean to pick on Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, but she tweeted that the infrastructure’s failures in Texas are quite literally what happens when you don’t pursue a Green New Deal. No — in fact, plenty of places around the world can deal with hot and cold when they have enough reliable, resilient electricity. Texas defunded reliable, resilient electricity, including winterization, to pay tens of billions of dollars for unreliable solar and wind that don’t work when you need them the most.”
Epstein noted that Ocasio-Cortez’s energy policies “would make Puerto Rico into truly a consistently third-world country.”

I would not worry too much about Sha’ Carri, except for the millions in lost endorsements. There are about 100 American high school boys that have better times than Carri, the fastest woman in the world, and would smoke her in Tokyo. What I WOULD WORRY about is allowing those male high school boy track stars to compete against her in the Olympics, not to mention all those biological males (born that way) who compete in the same event at the faster collegiate level. She would eat their dust. Just the facts.
