Seattle's Socialist Mayor [aka Olive Oyl] Has Problems After Attacking Starbucks

The socialist contempt for businesses is incredible. They believe corporations are the source and summit of all of society's ills, but their hatred of big business doesn't always extend to that business' tax dollars or the revenue businesses generate.

But they'll learn they can't have it both ways. You can't slap a business with one hand and grab its wallet with the other. That's what Seattle's inept socialist Mayor Katie Wilson is trying to do, and it may just drive the business that put Seattle on the map out of the city.

Wilson told voters she wasn't going to buy Starbucks and encouraged them to do the same. Calling for a de facto boycott of one of the city's biggest businesses backfired on her. Now Wilson is trying to do damage control.

Incredible.

Seattle’s lefty Mayor Katie Wilson admitted she was wrong to slam Starbucks and push for a boycott of the mega-coffee chain birthed in the Pacific city.

Wilson, 43, issued a terse mea culpa to the New York Times this week as questions swirl about whether the liberal Northwest city can attract and retain businesses. Starbucks, which recently chose to expand its footprint in Tennessee, is one of them.

The Democratic socialist made waves last fall when she joined a barista union rally as mayor-elect and expressed her disgust with one of Seattle’s most recognizable businesses.

But several months later, Wilson appeared to walk back her statement.

“Those comments were not productive in the sense that they caused more harm than good,” she told former newspaper, the New York Times.

Wilson also told the outlet she’s aware that everything she says could be used as possible anti-business missives, and she needs to have a “multidimensional relationship” with corporations like the coffee giant.

Starbucks has already moved some of its operations to Tennessee, bringing with it 2,000 jobs. Could the headquarters pull out of Seattle entirely?It seems people think it might.

James Talarico just got "Trumped" bigly

President Trump just delivered a masterclass in political savagery, torching Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico and his parade of bizarre beliefs on gender, Christianity, and, of all things, meat.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday, Trump was asked if he planned to endorse in the upcoming Texas Republican Senate primary runoff on May 26. While he held off on picking sides for now, the president made one thing crystal clear: whoever emerges from the GOP side is going to steamroll this guy.

“I do believe either one of them will easily win this race,” Trump said.

Then came the hammer.

“I think the Democrats have a weird, a weird candidate,” Trump continued. “Six genders, a real hit on Jesus. I mean, this guy is bad news with his mask from relatively recently, and he's a vegan. He's a vegan. All of a sudden he's not a vegan. He was a vegan. Now all of a sudden he's not. Texas doesn't like vegans.”

Trump wasn’t done. He called Talarico “a pathetic candidate, especially for Texas.”And you have to admit, it’s hard to argue with that assessment.

Talarico has been catching absolute hell ever since he clinched the Democratic nomination. Between his greatest hits on gender ideology and his weirdly hostile posture toward Christianity, voters are left wondering if this guy belongs on the campaign trail or in a padded room.

Back in a 2021 Texas House hearing on transgender athletes in sports, Talarico dropped this gem: “modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes” and that “in fact, there are six.” He even trotted out differing X and Y chromosome patterns as proof of his so-called “six really common biological sexes.”

Classic. In the world of the modern left, basic biology is apparently up for debate, but don’t you dare question their feelings. Texas voters aren’t buying it, and Trump just made sure the entire country knows exactly how ridiculous this candidate is.

Virginia Dems Cling to Their Lunatic AG Nominee Like a Bad Tattoo

If you thought the Democrat Party had hit rock bottom with their endless parade of unhinged rants, you ain't heard nothing yet. 

Virginia Democrats are still propping up their attorney general nominee, Jay Jones, even after he spilled his twisted little fantasies in text messages about shooting a Republican lawmaker and wishing a world of hurt on the man's kids. Charming, right, because nothing screams "top cop material" like daydreaming about double-tapping a colleague.

These gems from August 2022 popped up just in time for Jones' quixotic quest to boot out the solid, pro-life Republican AG Jason Miyares in 2025. Early voting kicked off September 19, and boom! here comes the sideshow. Jones, the ex-Dem state delegate who bailed in 2021 after some "soft on crime" flubs, was griping about GOP tributes to a dead colleague. But oh boy, did he crank the dial to eleven on House Speaker Todd Gilbert.

In the texts to former GOPer Carrie Coyner, Jones spins this hypothetical fever dream: "three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head." Then he drops the mic: "Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time." 

But he didn't stop at the speaker. He encourages violence by accusing Gilbert and his wife of "breeding little fascists," that's code for their two young kids, and mused that hacks like Gilbert only flip on gun violence when they feel "personal pain," you know, like watching a kid get snuffed out. Pot, meet kettle, says the guy auditioning for the role of unhinged villain.

Coyner, bless her, forwarded the screenshots to Gilbert and nailed it: "disqualifying for anyone who wants to seek public office." She called out Jones wishing violence on the kids and cracking wise about shooting him as "disgusting and unbecoming of any public official." 

No kidding. And in a follow-up call, Jones reportedly dug his heels in deeper, floating that Gilbert's wife ought to watch one of their tykes croak to "fix" his views on policy. Coyner hung up faster than you'd expect, and that was that, except for some limp policy chit-chat later. 

Jones' camp ghosted requests for comment at first, then coughed up this loogie: "Like all people, I've sent text messages that I regret and I believe that violent rhetoric has no place in our politics." 

But wait, there's more; they slapped a "smear" label on it all, blaming Miyares and his "Trump-controlled media organizations" for propping up the GOP's "desperate campaign." Pulleeeze. If wishing death on innocents is a "regret," try therapy, not the AG's office.Gilbert and Team Miyares? Zipped it on the texts. Smart move, why dignify the circus? 

But Jones is lugging more baggage than a Delta flight delay. Zero prosecutorial chops, a rap sheet tagged "soft on crime" by critics, and don't forget that 2022 joyride where he got nailed for reckless driving, 46 mph OVER the limit! Cough up $1,500 and some community service hours, funneled through his own PAC. Because why not monetize your screw-ups?

And the crazy part is that the Democrat Party of Virginia hasn't yanked the plug. They're letting this clusterfrack of a clown car roll on, violent threats and all. It screams a disturbing tolerance for rhetoric that puts innocent lives on the line, including kids, for crying out loud. In a party that preaches "protect the vulnerable" while cheering this garbage? Wake up, guys, this isn't leadership; it's a liability. Miyares deserves the win, and Jones deserves a long walk off a short pier into reality.

Gov. Pritzker says actions will be met with a 'response' if National Guard is sent to Chicago

Illinois Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker is no fan of President Trump and the President is obviously not the least bit perturbed about it. 

President Trump is planning to send in the National Guard to Chicago to deal with the rampant crime. [Why, it's so bad that even actor Jussie Smollett was attacked by his own friends one cold night a few years ago.]

Anyway, the corpulent governor says that 'action will be met with a response' if Trump does what he says he'll do, which is generally what happens when he says things. Pritzker says the state will not allow the federal government 'intimidate Chicagoans' by going after criminals. "We love our criminals," the rotund governor said as he bit down decisively on a Subway ham and cheese with the works.

"Unlike Donald Trump, we keep our promises," the governor wrote Wednesday on X. "We will not stand idly by if he decides to send the National Guard to intimidate Chicagoans. Action will be met with a response," the big man said. 

Of course, President Trump is one of the few people in public office that actually does keep his promises. The only promise he didn't keep was to lock up Hillary Clinton.

Big Pritzker's comments are the latest in his recent feud with President DonaldTrump, as the federal government considers whether to send troops to the Windy city.

Last week, the governor said there is no crime emergency in Chicago and Trump is "attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working families." 

Evidently, the huge governor doesn't think that 262 murders so far this year is a crime emergency. Perhaps Pritzker needs to define the term 'crime.'

"The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority," full-figured Pritzker said on Saturday. "There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders. We will continue to follow the law, stand up for the sovereignty of our state, and protect the people of Illinois."

I would say that the governor is shooting himself in the foot by taking this stance, but it's doubtful that he can actually see his feet. Trump said that Pritzker is a 'slob.'

On Monday, Pritzker said the potential federal deployment is "unconstitutional" and "un-American," unlike former and nearly dead POTUS, Joe Biden, who used two US Marine Corps members as a backdrop on September 1, 2022 outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia for a speech that focused on the "battle for the soul of the nation" and criticized "MAGA Republicans."

Not just shoulders

"Donald Trump wants to use the military to occupy a U.S. city, punish its dissidents and score political points," he said, as if Trump was going to run for a third term. "If this were happening in any other country, we would have no trouble calling it what it is — a dangerous power grab."

Chicago Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson, has cited data showing that violent crime has declined in the last year, including homicides and robberies dipping by more than 30%, and shootings dropping by nearly 40%. Although, crime is still up compared to 2021, according to statistics posted by Chicago police.

It's obvious they manipulate the numbers like they do with the deficit: if the rate of deficit is lower than last year, that some how means we're saving money rather than continuing going into debt.

"The problem with the President's approach is that it is uncoordinated, uncalled for, and unsound," Johnson, who is clearly one of the dumbest American mayors, said on Friday. "Unlawfully deploying the National Guard to Chicago has the potential to inflame tensions between residents and law enforcement when we know that trust between police and residents is foundational to building safer communities."

The hypocrisy is palpable. 

For example, last year, Democratic NY Governor Kathy Hochul deployed 750 National Guard to New York City's subways to address the surge in subway crime. In 2020, Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser called for National Guard's assistance in June following the thug, George Floyd's death to deal with looting and violence. And in the same year, a number of additional cities were crime ridden and Democratic governors in Minnesota [Timmy Walz] and California [ Gavin Newsom] activated the National Guard to deal with crime and unrest. Over 30,000 Guard troops were deployed across more than 30 states, mostly under Democratic 'leadership' to assist local law enforcement.

"When we fight back against tyranny, the people united will always prevail," Johnson later said. No joke.

President Trump responded to big-boned Pritzker and dim witted Johnson on Tuesday, writing in a social media post that the governor is "incompetent" and the mayor is "no better."

"A really DEADLY weekend in Chicago," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "6 DEAD, 27 HURT IN CRIME SPREES ALLOVER THE CITY. Panic stricken Governor Pritzker says that crime is under control, when in fact it is just the opposite. He is an incompetent Governor who should call me for HELP. Mayor Johnson is no better. Make Chicago Great Again!"

Just another reminder: "Lock her up!"

Trump takes out nuke facilities, Dems want to take out Trump: but Obama did what?

As soon as President Donald Trump does something strong that the left doesn't agree with, the Democrat idiots in office want to impeach him. Meanwhile, former President Barack Hussein Obama pretty much had carte blanche when it came for the US to use its military might and the left was totally okay with it. So something tells me Democrats are some of the worst hypocrites in the history of mankind. 

Hyperbole? I don't think so.

As president, Obama authorized a number of military actions and counterterrorism operations. I have listed an overview of key attacks and ops he ordered when he was busy dividing the nation racially.

First, Obama dramatically expanded the use of drone strikes against suspected terrorists, mainly targeting al-Qaeda, the Taliban and eventually ISIS affiliates.

Secondly, he ordered literally hundreds of targeted strikes against militants in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, killing key al-Qaeda and Taliban people such as Baitullah Mehsud, in 2009. Conservative estimates believe 2,500 to 4,000 people were killed, including civilians.

Thirdly, in Yemen, strikes were launched targeting al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which include the 2011 elimination of Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen and AQAP honcho.

Next, in Somalia, drones struck al-Shabaab scumcrumpets, and operations increased after the 2011 famine and piracy threats. Of course, these strikes were controversial because they involved civilian casualties.

Operation Neptune Spear, aka the Bin Laden Raid, went down on May 2, 2011 and was ordered by Obama. The U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six raided Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, resulting in bin Laden's death and a huge success in the fight against Islamic terrorism.

Then Obama, in 2011, authorized U.S. participation in NATO-led airstrikes to enforce a UN-mandated no-fly zone during the Libyan Civil War. Operation Odyssey Dawn targeted Muammar Gaddafi's forces in order to protect civilians. This eventually led to Gaddafi's overthrow. The U.S. conducted airstrikes along with logistical support.

Operation Observant Compass, between 2011 to 2017, sent about 100 U.S. military advisors to assist African troops in fighting the Lord's Resistance Army [LRA] in Central Africa. The main target was their leader, Joseph Kony, and while no direct combat was authorized, U.S. forces provided intelligence and support.

Between 2014 and 2017, the Obama administration conducted a military campaign against ISIS. In Operation Inherent Resolve [2014] the U.S. conducted airstrikes in Syria and Iraq, targeting ISIS strongholds, and also to protect Yazidis in Sinjar [where I throw a quarter into whenever I use bad language] and our personnel in Erbil. We also conducted a special operation in 2015 in Syria that killed ISIS leader Abu Sayyaf. By 2017, we flew thousands of airstrikes and significantly weakened ISIS's control.

Going back to 2009, Obama ordered an additional 30,000 boots on the ground to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban. Our presence at that time was around 100,000. 

Now let us be clear; I supported Obama's moves against terrorism and their leaders. But there is that double standard when it comes to President Trump. 

Hey guys, if you like my blog,  feel free to toss a virtual coffee my way on Buy Me a Coffee  It’s like a high-five with caffeine, and coffee keeps me focused, albeit somewhat hyper. No pressure, it's your call.

Obama's ordered strikes had a significant number of civilian casualties and even sparked debate among human rights groups. Trump's ordered attack on nuclear sites did not result in civilian casualties and was not a declaration of war, like AOC and her idiot friends accuse Trump of unconstitutionally circumventing Congress.

Obama's actions were significantly closer to war than Trump's by a country mile, but he was the untouchable Obama.

Hypocrisy much?

"Friends of Bernie Sanders" spent $200,000 on jets to fight the elusive Oligarchy

Imagine the spectacle of comrades Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, those self-styled scourges of the elite, soaring above the toiling masses in a private jet—a gleaming chariot of hypocrisy that burns through $15,000 an hour and pollutes the skies equivalent to a medium-size village. This, we are told by Fox News, was their chosen mode of transport for their so-called “Fighting Oligarchy Tour” along the West Coast. Fighting oligarchy, it seems, requires the kind of opulence that would make a Gilded Age robber baron blush.

The Washington Free Beacon, digging through the financial entrails of Sanders’ campaign, reveals a princely sum of over $200,000 spent on private jets in recent months. “Friends of Bernie Sanders, which manages the Fighting Oligarchy Tour, contracted three firms that charter jets: Cirrus Aviation Services, N-Jet, and Ventura Jets,” the Beacon reports, with payments to these firms gobbling up nearly 75 percent of the campaign’s transportation budget. 

A modest $63,830 went to commercial flights—presumably for the plebs in the entourage—while $41,000 was splashed on lodging and a cool $248,245 on event production. One wonders if the irony of such extravagance ever pierced the bubble of their righteous indignation. In other words, who are the oligarchs?

The National Republican Congressional Committee’s Ben Petersen put it with deadly bluntness: “Champagne socialists Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demand Americans surrender their pick-up trucks, air conditioning and meat from the luxe leather seats of their private jets that cost more per hour than most Americans earn in months. Their hypocrisy is staggering.” 

Staggering, indeed. This is the same Sanders who, in 2014, thundered against the fossil fuel industry, writing, “The fossil fuel industry is destroying the planet with impunity and getting rich while doing it. That must end.” Yet here he is, guzzling carbon like a robber baron at a banquet, all while preaching austerity to the proletariat.

Sanders’ rhetoric is as unrelenting as it is unreflective. “We will not accept a rigged economy where working people struggle while billionaires become richer,” he declared in his Brooklyn accent on Tuesday, taking a swipe at Elon Musk and the “billionaire class.” This from a man who, as Michael Bloomberg pointed out during the 2020 Democratic primary debate in Nevada, is “the best-known socialist in the country” and “a millionaire with three houses.” Bloomberg’s retort was a rapier thrust: “What did I miss here?” 

Nothing, Mr. Bloomberg. You missed nothing.

Sanders’ own words betray him. In that same debate, he proclaimed, “We are living in many ways in a socialist society right now,” before launching into a paean to “democratic socialism for working people, not billionaires, health care for all, educational opportunities for all.” 

Fine words Bernie, but how they ring hollow when uttered from the plush confines of a private jet. The late Bernie Marcus, co-founder of Home Depot, saw through the charade. “Don’t bring up Bernie Sanders, because that’s a red flag in front of me,” he once said. “He is the enemy of every entrepreneur that’s ever going to be born in this country and has been born in the past.”

And so, the Sanders and Alexandria Obviously-Commie roadshow rolls on, a carnival of contradictions. They rail against the excesses of capitalism while indulging in its most ostentatious trappings. They decry the billionaire class while living that lifestyle. It's a performance of such breathtaking audacity that one can only marvel at the sheer gall of it all.

I call it 'The Audacity of Dope."

Darrell Issa destroys Jasmine Crockett With real-time fact check re: impeaching judges

Well folks, it looks like Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) decided to play a quick game of "Gotcha!" with Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) during Tuesday’s hearing, and he didn’t even need to break a sweat. 

Issa took Crockett’s sanctimonious grandstanding and turned it into a self-inflicted wound faster than you can say "hypocrisy-suppository." All he had to do was point to her own rap sheet of judicial impeachment cheerleading to shut down her whining about Republicans threatening the sacred halls of justice.

Crockett, bless her racist heart, joined the usual chorus of Democrats clutching their pearls and wailing that democracy itself—yes, democracy itself—would crumble into dust if those mean ol’ Republicans dared to impeach any of the sainted judges who’ve been single-handedly thwarting President Donald Trump’s administration at every turn. Sniff.

Here’s where it gets good. Crockett went full drama queen, practically hyperventilating as she preached about protecting the judiciary’s pristine honor. That is, until Issa swooped in like a hawk with a memory and reminded everyone that Crockett herself co-sponsored legislation to impeach Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. 

Whoops! Townhall.com caught the fireworks on X: “Jasmine Crockett starts HYPERVENTILATING about protecting the institution of the judiciary — before PROMPTLY being reminded by @repdarrellissa that she cosponsored legislation to impeach Justices Thomas & Alito! ‘AOC filed articles of impeachment on Justice Thomas & Alito.…’” Oof, that’s gotta sting.

Then came the hypocrite's sermon. “The problem that we have right now is that if we continue down this road, we will not have a rule of law because we have people that are currently serving and they’re saying things like, ‘Ignore the judge’s order,’” she huffed, while conveniently forgetting to mention that her pal President Joe Biden pulled the exact same stunt when he rammed through his student loan forgiveness scheme after the Supreme Court told him to take a hike. 

Details, schmetails.

She kept going, laying it on thick: “What it means to have law and order in this country is that you follow the order and you go through the appeals process even if you dislike what the judge did,” she along with her mega-lashes declared, before flouncing back to her seat. 

Noble words—too bad they’re dripping with irony, given her own track record.

Crockett, like her fellow Democrats and their media parrots, leaned hard into the tired line that Republicans just want to axe federal judges over rulings they “don’t like.” Never mind that the actual beef is about alleged abuses of power—nah, that’s too complicated for the narrative.

Enter Issa, stage right, with the mic drop. 

Issa casually pointed out that when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) cooked up her impeachment articles against conservative Supreme Court heavyweights Alito and Thomas, Crockett was right there with pom-poms, co-sponsoring the whole circus. “It does seem interesting that when the shoe is on the other foot, everyone is self-righteous!” Issa quipped, before moving on like a boss.

And there you have it, guys—another day, another Democrat caught in the hypocrisy spin cycle. Gag me with a spoon.

John Cusack says Musk is "Literally Killing People"

Former actor John Cusack

Out of work actor John Cusack finally landed a new gig as he joined a #TeslaTakedown Mass Mobilizing Call on Wednesday where he got to attack Elon Musk. Cusack claimed that the richest man on earth is "literally killing people," in spite of the fact that he saved the lives of two astronauts after former President Joe Biden refused to do it.

Cusack, 58, also attacked Musk with a bunch of other insults during his performance on the call. 

“These are unprecedented times of mass criminality,” Cusack said, having looked up the word 'unprecedented'. “Like Trump, Musk is a pathological liar. He’s a criminal. He’s a sociopath and a ghoul,” said the guy whose occupation was to act, which is a form of lying, one can say.

“I mean those terms very precisely because who else would use his own child as a sympathy prop while literally taking starving aid from people all over the world,” he continued. “He’s literally killing people. People are going to die because of this madness. He’s a man who threw 80,000 people out of the VA indiscriminately.”

So Cusack claims that Musk is using his 4-year-old boy named X, as a prop, rather than him being an interactive father with his son with whom he sees as extremely intelligent and having great potential. It's like when leftists view the world with feces-stained glasses, everything looks like crap.

Cusack next told those on the call that we’re in an “oligarchic country that’s fascist and becoming more fascist every day. And that means people are going to die. And it’s going to get as ugly as we can think.”

He obviously could not provide evidence of his claim but he talks as if he knows stuff.

The “Tesla Takedown” movement has been gaining traction as individuals attack the company, destroy Tesla automobiles and property, as a form of protesting against Musk. There have been multiple incidents of vandalism, protest events and damage done to Tesla showrooms despite the group describing itself as a “peaceful protest group.” Many of these anarchists were formerly pro-EV/environment advocates until Musk supported President Trump's agenda.

You can view their idiocy on their website.

“Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines,” it says. “Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk. Stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy. The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us — not politicians, not the media.”

Really? How so? How does destroying a car company help the country?

Celebrities, both active and has-beens, along with leftist politicians, have been publicly denouncing Tesla since the election and have been trading in their vehicles for gas powered vehicles that they used to denounce as harmful to the environment. These clowns obviously have no honest ideals and morals and only want power.

Meanwhile, President Trump bought a Tesla earlier this month to support the automaker.

“I’m going to buy, because number one, it’s a great product. As good as it gets. Number two, because this man [Elon Musk] has devoted his energy and his life to doing this, and I think he has been treated unfairly,” Trump told reporters outside the White House earlier in March.

Envy, hypocrisy, and hatred is all the Left seems to share.

Dem with alleged ethical misconduct and more, questions Musk's loyalty to US as an immigrant

One can only wonder how Rep. Marcy Kaptur (Dummy-OH) deals with the taste of her foot in her mouth. On Wednesday made comments questioning Elon Musk's allegiance to the United States since he has been a citizen [that is, he consciously chose to be a US citizen rather than having it happen to him] for "only" 22 years.

"Mr. Musk has just been here 22 years," Kaptur said outside the Capitol on Wednesday. "And he’s a citizen of three countries. I always ask myself the question, with the damage he’s doing here, when push comes to shove, which country is his loyalty to? South Africa? Canada? Or the United States? And he’s only been a citizen, I’ll say again, 22 years."

Had Elon chose to misuse money slated for, say, Trump's campaign contributions, as Kaptur allegedly did, that wouldn't have been a problem for her. 

See, in 2009, the oxymoronically named Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) referred a case to the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct regarding Kaptur. The referral focused on earmarks she wrote for clients of a lobbying firm, PMA Group, during the 2008 and 2010 campaign cycles. She received contributions from PMA's political action committee (PAC), its employees, and PACs of PMA clients for whom she secured earmarks. Hmm, very interesting.

The question was whether Kaptur solicited or accepted these contributions in exchange for official acts, potentially violating federal law (18 U.S.C.). It was ultimately dismissed without charging her but it raises questions about her ethics.

In 2022 during her campaign against Republican J.R. Majewski, Kaptur's campaign highlighted Majewski's misrepresentation of his military service. This led the National Republican Congressional Committee to pull nearly one million dollars in ad funding for his race. But posts on X alleged that Kaptur had facilitated the theft of a veteran's military records to discredit Majewski, and again, no concrete evidence supports this claim, just as no evidence supports Kaptur's claim that Elon Musk's loyalties are not with the United States.

Kaptur's shifting loyalty to her Democrat then- President Joe Biden seems somewhat hypocritical when she has the audacity to label Musk as disloyal to his chosen nation. In mid-2022, she praised Biden during his visit to Ohio tied to the American Rescue plan. By August, her loyalty was a thing of the past. Her campaign ads said she "doesn't work for Joe Biden" and was "fighting back" against the Biden administration, particularly regarding trade issues with China.

This pivot, coming amid Biden’s disasterous approval ratings, was seen by many as opportunistic distancing from an unpopular president, despite her earlier support, highlighting tensions within the Democratic Party ahead of the midterms and her lack of spine and courage.

Kaptur has served in Congress since 1983, and drew immediate criticism on social media from conservatives pointing out her hypocrisy and using language that Republicans would be attacked for using.

"Just like @elonmusk, I immigrated LEGALLY and pledged my full loyalty to America," Ohio GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno posted on X. "But Democrats just see us as cheap labor who pick their crops and mow their lawns. If you step out of line & question their liberal narrative, they say you don’t belong here. It’s disgusting."

"Rep Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) is now a nativist when it comes to Elon Musk," Greg Price of the White House Rapid Response team posted on X.

The White House’s official rapid response account also posted on X, saying, "@RepMarcyKaptur is now questioning the loyalty of American citizens. This is a new low."

Kaptur's hypocrisy is almost laughable when it comes to Musk. Her own Polish immigrant heritage should advise her but her self-serving ambitions seem to cloud her judgment.

"A really bad thing for Marcy Kaptur to say," Taxpayers Protection Alliance President David Williams posted on X. "Is she really saying this about immigrants?

"Marcy Kaptur’s disgusting remark questioning Elon Musk’s loyalty based on his immigrant background exposes the Democrat Party’s descent into nativist rhetoric – the very thing they claim to oppose," NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella told Fox News Digital in a statement.

"Their hypocrisy is clear: they champion open borders when it benefits them but resort to xenophobic attacks when an immigrant doesn’t align with their political agenda."

"Only immigrant the Democrats aren’t for," National Review editor Ramesh Ponnuru posted on X.

"This is the attack they want to make?!" Republican communicator Matt Whitlock posted on X. "That Elon has only been a citizen for 22 years? The Trump administration continues to be blessed with the absolute dumbest opposition I’ve ever seen."

Kaptur, 78, apparently with a matching IQ, previously signed onto a House resolution in 2019 condemning President Trump for alleged xenophobic comments.

"This resolution states that immigrants and their descendants have made America stronger and naturalized citizens are just as American as those whose families have been in the United States for generations," the resolution stated.

"It also expresses a commitment to keep America open to those who lawfully seek refuge from violence and oppression and those willing to work hard to achieve the American Dream, regardless of race, ethnicity, faith, or country of origin."

It's obvious that the only immigrants Democrats support are the ones who cross the border illegally.

NC Democrat leader arrested for allegedly stealing Trump campaign signs: resigns

It's ironic how the Party that claims to care about free speech, law and order, and democracy, wants to control free speech with "misinformation" departments, allows illegal aliens into the country and only selectively prosecutes crimes, and is seeking to establish a one-Party government in the process.

A local Democratic Party chair in North Carolina resigned in disgrace this week after getting arrested for allegedly ripping out and stealing roadside Trump campaign signs, disregarding the law, a two-Party system, and free speech. 

This miscreant, Lowell Simon, 68, the now former chair of the Moore County Democratic Party who had been running for the North Carolina House this November, has been charged with two counts of misdemeanor larceny of political signs.

[H/T Fox News Digital.]

The Moore County Democratic Party announced on Facebook Monday that Simon simply resigned as chair "following recent allegations and arrest related to the theft of political signs."

The Moore County Sheriff's Office reported that one of their deputies saw Simon simply removing campaign signs along Seven Lakes Drive at around 5:25 p.m. Thursday.

"The deputy, who was responding to an unrelated call at the time, later followed up at Simon’s residence, where the signs were found in his vehicle," according to the office. "Simon admitted to removing the signs, which were then recovered and returned to their original owner."

He was arrested on Saturday and released "under a written promise to appear in court," according to the sheriff's office, and his first court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 30.

"While we appreciate the hard work and dedication he has shown to the Democratic Party and the community, the Moore County Democratic Party cannot and will not condone the tampering of political signs or any other illegal activity," the local party wrote on Facebook. "Mr. Simon has offered an apology for his actions, as well as his resignation, both of which have been accepted by the MCDP."

But he really wasn't sorry he did it--he was sorry he got caught.

"My worse angels got the better of me and I removed the signs," Simon said. "I shouldn't have done that. I didn't do it in the stealth of night or anything. I did it when it was five o'clock in the afternoon."

Simon simply has no good, bad or worse angels--he was still making it sound as if what he did wasn't so bad because he didn't do it in 'the stealth of night.' He did it and by doing so Simon simply denied those who placed the signs at the various locations their constitutional right to campaign for their preferred candidate.

"We believe in the importance of freedom of expression and speech, and hope that local law enforcement will continue to enforce such laws that protect those freedoms fairly and without bias across party lines," the local party added. "As we move forward, our focus will remain on electing Democrats up and down the ballot in this critical election. Together, we are committed to promoting the values of justice, fairness, and freedom that our Party holds dear, and we look forward to building a better future for all in Moore County."

Last week, Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields, a Republican, also issued a reminder to the public after Simon's arrest "that the removal or theft of campaign signs is a violation of North Carolina General Statute § 136-32(e), which protects the lawful placement of these signs during election periods."

Of course, it isn't only Democrats who commit such atrocious acts, but they seem to do so at a higher rate while preaching the opposite of what their actions show.

Progressive who called for defunding cops requests cops to protect him at home

Rep. Greg Casar, a leftist lawmaker who voted to defund the Austin PD as a city council member [and we all know the street definition of 'member'] is a hypocrite for requesting heightened police protection outside his home. The frightened flower sent the request to the United States Capitol Police who then passed it along to the Austin PD, which Casar voted to defund.

Casar's office responded to the media: "Our office has not been in communication with the Austin Police Department on this matter because these issues are handled by the United States Sergeant at Arms, who then works with U.S. Capitol Police and local law enforcement agencies,” the statement said. But if the Capitol Police Dept. made the request to the Austin Police Dept. then naturally Casar's office did not do the communicating, so they didn't lie, sort of.

The Austin Police Retired Officers Association called the request “the height of hypocrisy.” And it's also kind of the height of wimpy.

"It’s come to our attention that Anti police king of the defund movement in Austin @GregCasar who only last week called APD an agency with racist practices has requested enhanced patrols around his house for the next week," the group said on X. "We want everyone in Austin to feel safe. But this seems to us as the height of hypocrisy from the congressman. Maybe he should hire private security like his fellow squad members do. Sure seems like he wants the police in his neighborhood just not yours."

Gosh, a Democrat who is also a hypocrite. Whoda thunk?

In addition to his call to defund the police, just last week the leftist hypocrite wrote to the Department of Justice about the Austin PD, calling for "systemic reforms to the Department's policies and practices of excessive and lethal use of force, racial discrimination, and discrimination against people with mental health conditions."

But since he wants the Austin PD to protect him, it's probable that he really never meant it and only wanted to score points with Putin and Soros.

FBI agent who went after Trump gets his bell rung on criminal charges for second time

Go after the Clintons and you might end up face-down somewhere with several bullets to the head and have it called suicide. Go after former President Donald Trump, and you might end up disgraced for having been caught doing what you accused him of doing.

Enter Charles McGonigal, a former special agent heading the FBI's counterintelligence division in New York. 

[H/T Washington Times]

Chuck arrived at Manhattan federal court in New York on March 8th and pleaded guilty on September 22, to concealment of material facts which carries a maximum prison sentence of five years.

McGonigal was one of the agents involved in the make-believe Trump-Russia collusion probe and this was the second time Chucky pleaded guilty to criminal charges, this time for taking $225,000 in cash from a former intelligence agent, an ex-Albanian operative while working for the FBI.

The disgraced anti-Trumper, conspiracy theorist conspirator, was originally handed down nine counts, including falsifying records, making false statements [aka lying] and concealing material facts [aka covering up]. At the time, he was facing a 55-year stretch in the slammer with the nine charges, but now he faces a maximum sentence of five years for a single criminal count.

McGonigal is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 16, 2024. He is the fourth main FBI official from the Trump-Russia collusion probe to be indicted or face criminal charges. He was also charged in separate indictments in New York District court and is being accused of illegally accepting money for his work with Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch, and the Albanian intelligence official.

McGonigal was legally required to report his contacts with foreign officials to the agency but instead, he hid his ties and made business arrangements that conflicted with his job, according to prosecutors. Court filings allege that he took a six-figure payoff from Agron Neza, who was identified in European media and did favors for him in exchange, like meeting with Albania Prime Minister Edi Rama.

While McGonigal first pleaded not guilty to the charges, court documents imply that his team of lawyers are looking to make a plea deal with federal prosecutors.

Obviously there's more to the dealings and shenanigans McGonigal undertook, but the important point of all of this is how incredibly hypocritical the Trump detractors are, and perhaps it's only a matter of time that the rest of the motley crew will be revealed.

Kerry denies owning a private jet--he just uses them

Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry, does not own a Gulfstream G-IV private jet [tail number N57HJ] and the N57 does not stand for the number of Heinz varieties of products Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry's company sells. It's just a coincidence. And also, Kerry did not marry Teresa Heinz for her money and he only flies on her private jet because his job to save the planet is important and he needs to get to places to do that.

But in spite of Kerry's heroic efforts to save the planet from warm weather, he still received criticism of his use of a private jet that isn't his, which spews hundreds of metric tons of carbon, in his battle over climate change. 

This really got John's goat and he didn't hold back his ire just as his goat didn't hold back its flatulence.

"I just don't agree with your facts, which began with the presentation of one of the most outrageously persistent lies that I hear, which is this private jet," Kerry said during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Thursday. "We don't own a private jet. I don't own a private jet. I personally have never owned a private jet. And obviously it's pretty stupid to talk about coming in a private jet from the State Department up here. I just honestly, if that's where you want to go, go."

Kerry's non-ownership of a private jet has fueled controversy in the past. He did not deny actually traveling on a private jet, he just didn't own it outright as he responded to Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL). 

Mills sarcastically told the man who would save the planet that he hoped "it wasn't too problematic for your operational team and your private jet to get here." He should have added the word 'rented' to his statement, because that makes all the difference in the world.

If the jet you jet around in does not belong to you personally, the metric tons of carbon are not your responsibility and you can point the finger at the Flying Squirrel LLC, the charter company owned by Kerry's rich wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry. 

"Blame the Squirrels! Blame the Squirrels!"

Fun Fact: John Kerry owns more than $1,000,000 stake of the charter company.

Fox News Digital exclusively reported last year that the Kerry family jet, a Gulfstream GIV-SP, made a total of 48 trips lasting more than 60 hours and emitted an estimated 715,886 pounds, or 325 metric tons, of carbon since President Biden was sworn into office.

In 2019 Kerry told Icelandic reporter  Jóhann Bjarni Kolbeinsson that in order to save the planet from the snail's pace warming trend that he must "fly to meet with people and get things done," that he had devoted his life to fighting climate change and that he offsets his carbon consumption somehow, while offering no data to support this claim.

A spokesperson for Kerry told Fox News Digital this year that the family sold the jet to a New York-based hedge fund during the summer of 2022, so his hypocrisy no longer counts.

GOP Senators move to stop Buttigieg from using private jets, creating huge carbon footprint and wasting our money

The Republicans put forth a bill in the Senate to stop high ranking Department of Transportation officials from using private government planes for which taxpayers foot the bill. Among these mega-carbon footprint princes and princesses is Secretary Pete Buttigieg [pronouns: zir, zhe, zizzlepop]. 

"Secretary Buttigieg seems averse to traveling on the very commercial airlines that his department oversees. It’s far past time that Secretary Buttigieg travel commercially instead of wasting taxpayer dollars on private jet flights," Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO), told Fox News Digital, a former conservative news outlet.

"It will also fix a loophole to bring more transparency in reporting the costs of these flights," Schmitt added. The "loophole" refers to a cost-calculating policy the DOT uses which he said had been used to make travel cost for officials appear cheaper than it was, his office said.

Schmitt hopes the bill will "make Secretary Buttigieg consider the most fiscally responsible option when flying on official business."

The legislation would also stop Zhe Buttigieg and other DOT officials from using private flights except for in times of emergency or if such a flight is projected to cost at least 5% less than a commercial alternative.

Since taking office and taking time off to nurse zir's baby zir shares with another dude, Buttigieg has taken taxpayer-funded jets no less than 18 times.

Buttigieg traveled hither, thither and yon — visiting Florida, Ohio and New Hampshire, among other states — and out of the country using a private jet fleet managed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), according to flight tracking data. The flight records align with Buttigieg's schedule of external and public engagements obtained by government watchdog group Americans for Public Trust (APT).

When his predecessor in the Trump administration, Elaine Chao, took the same jets on seven occasions in 2017, the left wanted to have her stoned and eviscerated as it cost taxpayers almost $94,000, as Politico reported at the time. Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price was forced to quit after he reported took 26 private jet flights that same year, which cost taxpayers $1.2 million.

The DOT’s Inspector General announced earlier this year that he would be looking into the flights after a letter from Sen. Marco Rubio, (R-FL) Buttigieg claimed to welcome the probe in a statement posted to Twitter, but if you think anyone welcomes a government looking into your covert behavior, you are clearly low on Xanax.

"Glad this will be reviewed independently so misleading narratives can be put to rest. Bottom line: I mostly fly on commercial flights, in economy class. And when I do use our agency’s aircraft, it’s usually a situation where doing so saves taxpayer money," zizzlepop said.

Michelle Obama's health drink isn't and fails her own standards she pushed on us

Michelle Obama's new "health [LOL] drink" isn't very healthy and the "all this for a flag" former first lady is catching intense backlash for her unhealthy drink.

A recent Bloomberg report states that Michelle Obama's "Plezi Nutrition" brand of drinks would not be permitted in schools based on her own school lunch regulations she hawked when she was in the White House with her communist husband, the "Divider in Chief."

[Fun Fact: Plezi is Arabic for urine: "Abdullah, your camel left a puddle of Plezi on the Majlis sofa, you infidel."]

Big Mickey, as her secret friend calls her, is the co-founder and main partner with Plezi and is hawking these unhealthy beverages as a healthy alternative to juices, sodas and sugary drinks, but of the so called experts Bloomberg interviewed said,  “most were critical of the new line of drinks.”

“The [alleged] experts largely agreed that the product is an improvement on soda, though a small one,” the report notes. “At the heart of the matter is whether ‘healthier than soda’ is good enough for a product aimed at children as young as 6, especially one that comes with Obama’s endorsement.”

In spite of the lower sugar content in Plezi, they contain difficult to pronounce additives that disqualify them from school lunch programs using the Obama calculus on health.

Natural sweeteners, such as those based on stevia leaf and monk-fruit extracts, are in the drinks which have become a great health concern, especially in young children, in spite of there being less concern in allowing young children to decide whether to have their genitals mutilated and given hormone blockers to comport with the left's agenda. 

Obama drinks bad; gender transitioning good.

Some so called experts pointed to a lack of research on those types of sweeteners, and that parents should generally avoid giving it to their children, whether they have transitioned or not.

Those added sweeteners, however, directly contradict the Obama-era school lunch regulations, which should not surprise us, coming from where it does. The regulations for U.S. elementary and middle schools are only permitted to serve milk, H2O, or 100% fruit or vegetable juice with no added sweeteners.

All four of the Plezi flavors (beet, radish, onion and potato] have those additives, meaning that they thankfully wouldn’t be allowed to be served in American elementary and middle schools. [Just kidding about the flavors--I don't want to get canceled.]

Michelle Obama is, without a doubt, a hypocrite and a big-boned elitist and should be embarrassed about this situation. But it's highly doubtful she will be.

In any case, for Big Mickey's harshest critics, she [if that's her pronoun] is either a  freaking hypocrite or a total incompetent for lack of foresight, making her the perfect presidential candidate for the Democratic Party.

To assuage climate change, we need to get rid of the poor via the food that sustains them

It would be a comedy show or a Babylon Bee satire if it wasn't real. The Left has lost its collective mind. 

When you have a President who says the biggest single existential threat to civilization is climate change--not the real possibility of war with any number of bad actors, or the world economy, or the removal of genitalia on children--yet still goes on vacation in Ireland for personal 'discovery,' and upon return goes on vacation in Delaware, there's no doubt the country is in serious trouble. 

First, it was global cooling, then global warming and never are they accurate in their predictions--if they were, we'd all be dead in 2031 if Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Comatose's (Socialist-NY) 2019 prediction is correct. But their predictions are never correct; they're only self-serving and they are never called out on their bone-headedness. As the photo above illustrates, they simply go on to the next panic claim and raise our taxes to pay for it.

Alleged President Joe Biden said that climate change is the single existential threat to the world during his vacation in Ireland. Then he said he wanted to "lick the world," because his brain malfunctioned again.

So while the world is in trouble, Joe got to do his "bucket list" before he leaves the planet and heads for warmer climate. He went to Ireland to find his roots, and when he got back to the USA, he went to his home in Delaware. In fact, Biden has spent 40 percent of his time as President on vacation. Can you believe the perks the POTUS gets?

Starbucks paper straws in plastic cups: hypocrisy much?

“The SINGLE existential threat to the world is climate change!” Biden claimed. "We don’t have a lot of time, and that’s a fact."

However, Joe failed to show his work on it being a fact. But Democrats believe in the magic of their words, and if he says it's a fact, or he's a woman, it must be true.

The end of the world has been happening for over 40 years but so far nothing has changed all that much . . . except for Joe's mental status.

The Democrats have gone after fossil fuels, meat, cow farts, and most recently, gas stoves. So what's left to make the lives of the poorest among us even worse? 

Oh yeah, rice. You know, the thing that most of the humans on planet Earth survives on.

Rice is now being blamed for about 10 percent of global methane emissions and other problems to panic over:

VIDEO: Rice is to blame for around 10 percent of global emissions of methane, a gas that over two decades, traps about 80 times as much heat as carbon dioxide. Scientists say that if the world wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, rice cannot be ignored. pic.twitter.com/46GgkaGPgK

— AFP News Agency (@AFP) April 16, 2023

Rice cannot be ignored?

Seriously, if you do everything these freaking idiots say we must do to save the planet, [let us never forget to not use plastic bags or straws] you will kill huge swaths of the poor population in the world by not feeding them. 

Imagine if China and India stopped rice production. Heads would swing--literally.

"No TikTok state ban for me, only for thee" Dem gov implies

Frau Whitmer

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) is the female version of South Park's Cartman: she does what she wants. But if you try it, you're in a world of trouble.

Michigan has banned the Communist Chinese-owned app TikTok on March 1st, on state-owned devices, but that doesn't stop Whitmer from flipping off the ban when it comes to herself.

“It is banned for state devices,” Jayson Cavendish, Michigan’s acting chief security officer, said in an interview with the MLive media group.

So TikTok is not allowed to be on state-owned devices except for Frau Whitmer's, which is the most state owned a state owned device can be.

The ban applies to all state-owned devices except for Whitmer, a [hypocrite], and for purposes of promotion, law enforcement, and cybersecurity, MLive reported.

Cavendish also noted, according to MLive, that Whitmer’s TikTok account “is accessed on a secure device that has never been on the state’s network, nor connected to the state’s wireless environment.”

Like most Democrat governors and others on the left, the rules don't apply to them, only to the peons who pay their salaries. So during the pandemic travel bans, Mr. Whitmer attempted to travel in order to take out his boat. The Landshark Bar & Grill in East Lansing where Gretchen sat with a large group of Democrats in violation of her own COVID-19 policies wasn't a problem as she saw it because hey, she's the governor. 

Gov. Newsom (D-CA) was with a dozen people at an expensive restaurant known as The French Laundry. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the very attractive Mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot (D) had their hair done at a salon when establishments such as those were ordered to remain closed. 

Back to Whitmer.

Since the ban, Whitemer has posted on TikTok many times, as late as last Thursday, because she's special.

“It’s a state of Michigan device, but it follows the guidelines that are in place for the exceptions,” said Bobby Leddy, a spokesman for the governor’s office. “And the exceptions are for any department that feels that they need it for their job to convey with the public, or for investigative purposes.”

I think it's time the public reacts to this elitist crap at the ballot box. However, most Democrats don't generally know who or what they're voting for. As Nancy Pelosi pointed out [and I paraphrase]: if a turd shaped like the letter "D" ran against any Republican in her state, the turd would win."

This seems to be a proven fact.

Doctor Jill cooks with gas that's to be banned for us peons

From Leonardo DiCaprio, to John Kerry, to Oprah Winfrey, to Jim Carrey, to Jay-Z, to Jimmy Buffett, and more of the jet-set, they are all flying in their own private jets, most complaining about global warming,  while being woke or too important to travel with the peons who made them rich.

It has always been rules for thee but not for me when it comes to those in power or celebrities. You can cut the hypocrisy with a knife.

Now that the so-called Biden administration is seriously considering a ban on gas stoves, you can almost predict the Bidens would believe the ban wouldn't apply to them, and you would be correct. If they believed anything they say in the service of power or virtue, the world would be a better place, but don't count on it. 

The nation's top doctor, Doctor Jill Biden, was seen in an old photo of her cooking on a gas stove. Nowadays she has her own cook, and the White House uses four gas stoves for their cooking. 

The White House also why they have 35 bathrooms which for Joe Biden, is a godsend.

Biden's handler is also thinking about banning gas heating in dwellings. This will likely not affect the Capitol Power Plant, which is a fossil-fuel burning facility which heats the Capitol Building where Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Comatose was killed by the January 6th insurrectionists whose plan was to overthrow the government using buffalo horn attacks on Capitol Police. It hard to imagine Biden would call for the tearing down or retooling of the facility.

"Hey [Antoni Porowski], what are you cooking tonight?" Doctor Biden wrote on Twitter in September 2020, including the photo of herself using a gas stove top to cook and directing the question toward Canadian chef and TV personality Antoni Porowski. [He was probably cooking bacon or poutine.]

Anyway, the photo at the top of the page resurfaced days after Bloomberg reported that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) revealed that they are considering a ban on gas stoves because of sudden concerns about indoor air pollutants from the appliances that, if true, could easily be remedied.

Other Twitter users blasted Doctor Jill Biden for her blatant hypocrisy by the considering of a possible new policy.

"Rules for thee but not for me," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), tweeted.

About 35% of U.S. homes are equipped with gas stoves that reportedly release carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and other matter major stockholders of electric companies and the World Health Organization and EPA considers unsafe for various reasons.

CPSC Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. told Bloomberg the commission could issue a proposal on the matter as early as this year but that would be "on the quick side."

"Well there's a switch; the Biden's gas isn't coming from Joe," I didn't tweet, but wished I did.

Former small town mayor Pete Buttigieg flies taxpayer-funded private jets, thus flipping us the bird

Peter Buttigieg (D) is a "do what I say, not what I do" Democrat and is our Transportation Secretary when he isn't on a maternity or paternity leave. 

When he is not on leave, Buttigieg advocates for low carbon emissions by the public, while he flies privately on taxpayer-funded private jets. He, like John Kerry and other hypocrites on the Left, leaves a carbon footprint Big Foot would be proud of. 

Since his appointment to his unqualified position [unless you consider not filling potholes in South Bend, Indiana as a qualification] Buttigieg has taken no less than 18 private jet excursions hither and thither across the country. [H/T Fox News Digital]

The Alfred E. Neuman lookalike has already traveled to  Ohio, Florida and New Hampshire and other states, and has flown out of the country on a private jet fleet managed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as per flight tracking data, which align with Buttigieg's schedule of external and public engagements obtained by government watchdog group Americans for Public Trust (APT).

'Mayor Pete's' predecessor, Elaine Chao (R) was criticized for using the same jets on seven occasions in 2017, but she is a Republican and must abide by higher standards. Human Services Secretary Tom Price knows that very well--he was forced to resign after taking 26 flights that same year, and I believe that's fair and should apply to Buttigieg as well.

"Everyday Americans face flight [cancellations] and long wait times because Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has completely mismanaged air travel," APT executive director Caitlin Sutherland told Fox News Digital. "Yet, he gets to avoid all that by taking taxpayer-funded private jets to destinations with readily available commercial airline options."

"And for someone so holier-than-thou on reducing emissions, Buttigieg sure doesn’t seem to mind the pollution caused by his literal jet-setting," she added. "This is hypocrisy at its finest, and these troubling expenses to taxpayers must come under immediate scrutiny."

It isn't known exactly how much in private jet travel expenses our gay blade Transportation Secretary has racked up, but the FAA has charged $5,000 per hour to use its aircraft, as was noted by the Washington Post in the congressional investigation into Trump officials' travel in 2017.

According to the flight data, Buttigieg used two taxpayer-funded Cessna 560XL private jets for trips within the first two years since Biden selected him to lead the Department of Transportation (DOT). 

In one instance of his use of government-managed private jets, when he wasn't on maternity leave nursing his baby, Buttigieg traveled roundtrip from Washington, D.C., to Las Vegas to promote public works projects in Nevada in August 2021.

And you may remember how the little twerp was caught getting out of a government SUV to get on a bicycle for the final leg to the office, pretending that this was how he went to work in the morning.

In late September, Buttigieg used an FAA private jet for a roundtrip journey to Montreal. During the visit, he attended an International Civil Aviation Organization conference.

Buttigieg also attended a ceremony during the trip hosted by a large Canadian gay rights organization where he received a prestigious award for his being very gay and his "contributions to the advancement of LGBTQ rights," which now surpass the rights of butchers, bakers and candlestick makers.

Buttigieg attended a 2021 United Nations climate summit in the U.K. where he engaged in climate negotiations with other world leaders who also flew in their private jets leaving carbon footprints that takes a village to duplicate all the while hypocritically pushing decarbonization policies. 

And while at the summit, Buttigieg had the audacity to say that aviation is a "significant contributor to climate change."

This is yet another example of an effete elite dictating to the peons how they should live while they do whatever the hell they please.

It isn't a swamp--it's a cesspool.
