GOP confirms Trump-aligned judge, defeating obstructionist Democrats

The Republican-led Senate just rammed through Emil Bove's confirmation to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a 50-49 squeaker, and the Democrats are crying foul louder than a toddler who needs a diaper change. 

Bove, a former Trump legal eagle, got the nod despite weeks of blue-team bellyaching and enough whistleblower complaints to fill a soap opera script.

The vote was tighter than a well digger's butt in winter, with RINOs Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins siding with the Dems to try to tank Bove's lifetime appointment. No dice, ladies, Trump's guy is headed to the bench. 

Attorney General Pam Bondi was practically doing cartwheels on X, gushing, "Congratulations to our dear friend Emil Bove on his confirmation to serve on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals! This is a GREAT day for our country." She went on to praise his "tireless work" at the Justice Department, adding, "He will be missed, and he will be an outstanding judge." 

Take that, haters.

Bove's resume reads like a conservative fever dream. He was Trump's go-to lawyer when Biden's cronies tried to bury the former president under a pile of classified documents and election interference charges. He also had a front-row seat in the New York hush money circus, where Trump got slapped with 34 felony counts but walked away with what amounts to a judicial shrug. Before that, Bove was a federal prosecutor in New York, locking up drug dealers and terrorists.

But the Democrats have been clutching their pearls since Trump floated Bove's name, screaming about whistleblowers who claim he told Justice Department folks to ignore judicial orders. They're also steamed about his role in canning some January 6 prosecutors and spiking the case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. Naturally, they’re painting him as the second coming of Darth Vader.

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) wasn't having it, firing back at the Dems for trying to "weaponize" the whistleblower process. "He has a strong legal background and has served his country honorably," Grassley said, defending Bove like a pitbull. "I believe he will be a diligent, capable, and fair jurist." He also took a swipe at the opposition, slamming their “vicious rhetoric, unfair accusations and abuse” as crossing the line. Tell 'em, Chuck.

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck 'Nostrils' Schumer (D-NY) was out here acting like the sky just fell. "It’s unfathomable that just over four years after the insurrection at the Capitol, when rioters smashed windows, ransacked offices, desecrated this chamber, Senate Republicans are willingly putting someone on the bench who shielded these rioters from facing justice, who said their prosecution was a grave national injustice," he wailed. Dark day, Chuck? Maybe take a deep breath and a sip of chamomile tea, just don't barbecue any cheeseburgers.

Hey guys, if you enjoy Brain Flushings, I hope you'll consider supporting my work with a small donation to Buy Me a Coffee. It fuels my late-night writing sessions with fresh ideas. No pressure.

Look, the left is throwing a tantrum because their smear campaign didn't stick, and the right is popping champagne because they got their guy. Business as usual in D.C. Bove's on the bench, and the outrage machine is already revving up for the next fight.

RINOs join Democrats to keep Tlaib from being censured over her Hamas love affair

"WAAAAHHH    "

The House of misRepresentatives voted to kill a resolution to censure Hamas loving congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, (D-MI), on Wednesday night. This can only mean the Republican Party is greatly flawed and loaded with cowards who are too afraid to stand up for the Jewish people and would rather call the negative responses to their slaughter as "Islamophobia," as if that's even a real thing.

Almost two dozen dickwad Republicans joined the Democrats to kill the censure resolution against Tlaib, an over anti-Israel/anti-Semitic POS that has no business being a US lawmaker. I have lost all respect for these people.

After the resolution failed to pass, Democrats broke out into applause, but at least they didn't partake in hunting down Jews or protest Israel, like many in the Democratic Party did. 

The tally was 222 to 186 in favor of killing the motion without debate.

Tlaib, along with Reps. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) and George Santos (R-NY) have been targeted for censure, and in Santos' case, for  removal from the House. Tlaib however, made specific comments about the Israeli-Hamas war and is clearly on the side of the savages who have killed Israeli civilians of all ages, including babies and even the unborn ripped from their mother's open stomach and womb, which apparently doesn't bother the left all that much.

Tlaib and other members of the Squad [aka Hamas caucus] have called on Israel to cease fire after over 1,400 of them have been slaughtered, some while they slept, in order to give Hamas the win. Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear that Israel will not surrender until Hamas is destroyed and put into the cesspool of history.

Marjorie Taylor Greene had blamed Tlaib for a protest weeks ago that saw hundreds of Gaza ceasefire demonstrators [aka "Don't kill the terrorists protesters"] arrested after they took over the Cannon House Office building. Greene called the protest as an "insurrection" in the text of her resolution, just like the Democrats called the January 6 protest with the same word. 

After the vote Greene railed against the 23 cowardly Republicans, who opted to table her resolution, calling them "feckless." People who have no feck, have no character to brag about.

"This is why Republicans NEVER do anything to stop the communists Democrats or ever hold anyone accountable!!" Greene wrote on X.

I wish I didn't have to say this, but Greene is right. Those feckless feckers should be voted out of office.

White men increasingly embarrassed by John Brennan being a White man

Former CIA Director John Brennan said that he was increasingly embarrassed over his own "whiteness." Maybe he knows something about himself that we don't know, but one thing is clear, we on the White don't care for his insincere lament, or even the effeminate way he speaks on MSNBC.

Brennan claims that men of his race act in embarrassing ways. We play violent sports like football, LaCross and extreme frisbee. We hunt; we fish; we love femininity and we believe there are only two sexes and the concept of gender refers mostly to words that languages attribute to them. [The Spanish word pollo for "chicken"  is masculine in spite of chickens being female, or chicks, as it were.]

And yes, some White men are gay, but they know they are men who love other men, just like those women who know they are women and love other women. Having your genitalia mutilated, or wearing a dress, or getting hormone injections, doesn't change your sex.

"I’m increasingly embarrassed to be a White male these days, when I see what my other White males [are] saying," Brennan told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, who chuckled at the racist comment.

Wallace, Brennan, and Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) were arguing that Republicans had lied about what happened during the Capitol Hill riots on Jan. 6, much like CNN lied about the severity of the riots in Portland, New York, Seattle, and Chicago, calling them "mostly peaceful" as fires raged and looting took place behind reporters as they spoke on camera.

"It just shows that with very few exceptions, like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, there are so few Republicans in Congress who value truth, honesty, and integrity," Brennan, who is and knows a liar when he hears one, said. "And so, they'll continue to gaslight the country the way that Donald Trump did," he ironically added, attributing these RINOs with a 'strange new respect.'

When people judge people by their skin color or any other immutable attribute, they generally are themselves what they are labeling others. Psychologists call this projection.

As a White man, and perhaps I speak for many White men, I am embarrassed to have John Brennan in my race. He is a disgusting racist and rejects the tenets of the American spirit.
