"Wind Beneath My Dress" singer makes disgusting remarks about W Virginians being "poor, illiterate"

It's one thing to disagree with a person's political ideology, and quite another to attack that person ad hominem along with the people of his state because of those disagreements. 

That is exactly what Bette Midler did when Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) voted the way his constituents wanted him to vote: against the "drunken sailor in a whorehouse" spending bill known as Build Back Better, which would have cost the taxpayers somewhere in the neighborhood of three trillion dollars with a future spending that would just keep going and going.

On Monday, Midler took to Twitter to attack Joe Manchin--she tweeted:

"What #JoeManchin, who represents a population smaller than Brooklyn, has done to the rest of America, who wants to move forward, not backward, like his state, is horrible. He sold us out. He wants us all to be just like his state, West Virginia. Poor, illiterate and strung out."

What a piece of work.

While Brooklyn has 2.9 people living under the fist of Mayor Bill de Blasio for another few days, Manchin's constituency of about 1.8 million people are represented by him and his vote against BBB was for them, not for people in Brooklyn. That's what he is elected to do, not what Bette Midler wants him to do.

And it's no big surprise that he voted against the BBB--he said he would months ago if his party didn't cut the spending down. Why are they acting surprised?

After her anti-West Virginia tweet, Midler, 76, began taking a lot of heat for the bile she spewed. She realized the best thing to do would be to apologize for her thoughtless remarks about West Virginians she cruelly judged but never even met:

"I apologize to the good people of WVA for my last outburst," she tweeted. "I’m just seeing red; #JoeManchin and his whole family are a criminal enterprise. Is he really the best WV has to offer its own citizens? Surely there’s someone there who has the state’s interests at heart, not his own!"

So her apology included an attack on Joe Manchin again, and now his family. 

What a grody shoal [see Urban Dictionary] Midler shows herself to be, and it wasn't long before she attacked Manchin again. "His indifference is immense. Like the rest of his family, he hasn’t a shred of conscience," she wrote.

It's obvious Midler knows nothing about Joe Manchin other than the fact that he didn't vote the way she wanted, or the way people who are the least affected by gross inflation wanted him to vote. Attacking his family is a childish reaction and speaks volumes about Midler's offscreen character.

Manchin appeared on "Fox News Sunday," He told host Bret Baier that he had spoken to alleged President Biden, House Speaker Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer (D-NY) but they couldn't reach an agreement in BBB. They wanted to blow out the spending and go full commie and this didn't sit well with Manchin, who had said months ago that he would not vote for such an irresponsible piece of legislation. 

"I've done everything humanly possible," Manchin said, explaining how hard he has worked to try to reach an acceptable compromise on the bill, but the left wouldn't budge and neither would he.

Manchin said that with inflation increasing, the national debt, "geopolitical unrest," and the current pandemic, the Build Back Better bill by Biden [or his puppet master] was too much to accept.

Meanwhile, Bette Midler is still a pompous ass who knows what is actually in the BBB bill as much as Alexandria Obviously-Commie knows about economics.

Potty mouth Omar launches vulgar tirade on Joe Manchin

If you don't follow in lockstep, progressives will attack you and cancel you if they can. Free thinking is out of the question for socialists because if you have an intelligent debate with them, they will lose and they can't tolerate losing, which is why you'll never see the squad, as they call themselves, on Fox News or going head-to-head with the likes of a Ben Shapiro, for example.

Rep[ulsive] Ilhan Omar (D-socialist-MN) lost her s*** on Sunday in response to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) after he told Fox News' Bret Baier that he will not vote in support of President Biden't multi-trillion dollar Build Back Better bill.

“And you know, my concerns I had, and I still have these concerns and where I’m at right now, the inflation that I was concerned about, it’s not transitory, it’s real, it’s harming every West Virginian,” Manchin told the outlet. “It’s making it almost difficult for them to continue, to go to their jobs, the cost of gasoline, the cost of groceries, the cost of utility bills — all of these things are hitting in every aspect of their life. And you start looking at — then you have the debt that we’re carrying, $29 trillion, you have also the geopolitical unrest that we have. You have the COVID — the COVID variant, and that is wreaking havoc again, people are concerned. I’ve been with my family, I know everyone is concerned.”

In other words, as a representative of his state, he will represent what the people want, and since West Virginia is a "red state," he will vote accordingly--that's what representatives are elected to do.

“And I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can’t. I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there,” Manchin continued. “This is a no on this legislation. I have tried everything I know to do. And the president has worked diligently. He’s been wonderful to work with. He knows I’ve had concerns and the problems I’ve had and, you know, the thing that we should all be directing our attention towards, the variant, a COVID that we have coming back at us in so many different aspects in different ways, it’s affecting our lives again.”

Omar, an anti-Semitic Somali immigrant who likely married her own brother, responded to Manchin’s remarks during an interview on MSNBC, saying, “I mean, we all knew that Senator Manchin couldn’t be trusted” [to vote the Party line in spite of what his constituents want].  

“The excuses that he just made, I think, are complete bulls**t,” Omar said, her lack of decorum appalling and unprofessional. “It is really disheartening to hear him say that he has been trying to get there for the people of West Virginia because that’s a complete lie. The people of West Virginia would greatly benefit from their families having access to long-term elderly care and care for folks with disabilities. They would benefit from the expansion of the child tax credits; they will benefit from having access to pre-k. There are just so many things that, you know, the people of West Virginia desperately need. And we know that he is not working on behalf of their interests, and I really am just completely disappointed and disgusted by his reasoning.”

But of course, nobody will benefit from runaway inflation. 

The Left knows as much about economics as a frog knows about algebra.

Comrade Blumenthal speaks at commie award show, touts "Build Back Better"

Did not go to Vietnam War

Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal (CT) appeared at the Connecticut People's World Committee Amistad Awards (CPWC) a Communist Party affiliate political advocacy organization. He appeared at the commie event to hand out certificates of special recognition to the three communist recipients of the awards and was introduced as a "surprise guest."

"We invite you to join the Communist Party in this epic time as we make good trouble to uproot systemic racism, retool the war economy, tax the rich, address climate change, secure voting rights and create a new socialist system that puts people, peace and planet before profits," emcee comrade Ben McManus told the communist audience.

"I'm here to honor the great tradition of activism and standing up for individual workers that is represented by the three honorees here," comrade Blumenthal, a fake Vietnam War hero said, and also pushed Biden's Build Back Better blah blah blah bull.

"There’s a lot to be working for in economic justice, in racial equity, in establishing a $15 minimum wage and holding corporations accountable for the basic treatment of the American people. We need to look at our entire tax system, beginning with Build Back Better."

By economic justice Blumenthal means taking from the rich [except not him, although he is one of the richest senators in Congress with assets nearing $100 million] and redistributing their money to people who haven't earned it.

By racial equity, he means equal outcomes for all whether they have put in the work or otherwise earned it, which in the long run destroys incentive.

While a $15 minimum wage will force businesses like fast food, for example, that hire young people who live with their parents, to raise prices so that people who eat at these establishments, will pay more. And the irony is, the people who eat there are less able to afford higher prices.

By holding corporations accountable for the basic treatment of the American people, Blumenthal is not including the tech giants who only hold conservatives accountable for saying things they disagree with by censoring their voices. They even did it to an American President on the other side of the political aisle.

Blumenthal also spoke out against the filibuster, which he said "has been misused by Republicans again and again and again." 

The filibuster is not "misused" by anyone. It's entire purpose is to limit the powers of the majority party. When the Republicans have the majority, the Democrats love the filibuster and vice-versa.

In concluding his remarks, the communist senator thanked the audience for "your help and support over many, many years."

Putting all his glee aside, once this ambassador of stolen valor got outed for his attendance at a Communist award ceremony, he expressed regret for having done so in a telephone interview Friday with the Hartford Courant.  The fraud claimed that he thought the ceremony "was strictly a labor event."

"If I had known the details, I wouldn’t have gone. ... Let me just say very emphatically, I’m a Democrat and a strong believer in American capitalism. I have been consistently a Democrat and a strong supporter and believer in American capitalism.’' Especially when he gets caught at a Communist award event.

But rather than walking out after emcee Ben McManus clearly invited the audience to "join the Communist Party," Blumenthal stayed and participated in the event, pretending that he goes to so many that he just didn't realize what McManus meant when he invited everyone to join the Communist Party.

If you believe that excuse, well there's no convincing you otherwise.

China is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party on Thursday. If Blumenthal gets an invitation to attend, do you think he'll go?

Socialist spending bill passed, thanks to 13 House GOPers and the Democrats

The House of [mis-] Representatives passed a $1.2 trillion bipartisan socialist "infrastructure" bill late on Friday following a compromise between moderate and progressive [i.e., Marxist] Democrats. Thanks to GOPers in the Senate, [the bill passed there 69 to 30] including Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and 13 House Republicans, the bill now only needs Co-President Joe Biden's shaky signature to pass.

The vote tally was 228 to 206 with six Marxist Democrats voting against the spending bill because it didn't call for even greater spending of taxpayer money. The 'nays' included: 

Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rashida Tlaib (Hamas-MI), Ilhan Omar (Anti-Semite-MN), Cori Bush (BLM-MO), Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), and of course, Alexandria Overtly-Commie (Duh-NY).

Then there were people who call themselves Republicans who voted in favor of the exorbitant spending bill. These RINOs included:

Don Bacon (NE), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Andrew Garbarino (NY), Anthony Gonzalez (OH), John Katko (NY), Adam Kinzinger (IL), Nicole Malliotakis (NY), David McKinley (WVA), Tom Reed (NY), Chris Smith (NJ), Fred Upton (MI), Jeff van Drew (NJ), and Don Young (AK).

Now the bill goes to the President's desk [whoever that really is] and Biden will obviously sign it as he is being directed. 

Don Bacon 

The House also passed a procedural vote soon after midnight to advance consideration of the Build Back Better Act.

Democrats plan to pass the second bill unilaterally through the budget reconciliation process, that doesn't need Republican support, but this may be difficult due to the divisions in the Democratic Party between the progressives and moderates.

For his part, Biden said in a statement that he looked forward to signing both bills if that's what he's supposed to do.

"Tonight, we took a monumental step forward as a nation," the alleged president's statement said, calling the legislation a "once-in-generation bipartisan infrastructure bill that will create millions of jobs, turn the climate crisis into an opportunity, and put us on a path to win the economic competition for the 21st Century."

The 13 Republicans who went along with this nonsense were met with harsh criticism.

For example, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) of Georgia's 14th congressional district called those GOP members "traitors." She then posted a list of the Republicans who voted along with the Democrats.

"But 6 Democrats did more than these 13 traitor Republicans to stop Biden's fake Infrastructure bill by voting NO," Greene wrote.

Biden is helping the Taliban build back better: former CIA chief sees POTUS move as "absolutely inspiring" jihadists

Inspiring confidence everywhere he mumbles

Former CIA Director Michael Morell, who served under the Obama-Biden administration, said on Sunday that President Biden's chaotic retreat from Afghanistan and subsequent Taliban takeover "absolutely inspired" jihadists and emboldened terrorists across the globe. [H/T Fox News]

Morell appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday where he said that the Taliban will likely "flow back" into Afghanistan and make the region "more dangerous than other spots on the planet." This is because the Taliban is an Islamist terrorist organization that, thanks to Joe Biden, now has become one of the most, if not the most, powerful terrorist group on the planet after inheriting tens of billions of dollars in U.S. military equipment we left behind for them.

"I think that the Taliban winning the war in Afghanistan, and then the way our exit happened, has absolutely inspired jihadists all over the world," Morell told host Margaret Brennan.

Technically speaking, the Taliban didn't actually win the war; the U.S. just lost it and the Taliban stepped into a pile of cow plop luck that the Biden-Harris-Obama-Klain-Jarrett-AOC-Sanders administration provided for them.

"The Taliban is saying, we just didn't defeat the United States, we defeated NATO. We defeated the world's greatest military power, ever. So there's a celebration going on," he added.

"I think, not only will the jihadists be inspired, but a lot of them are going to come to Afghanistan to be part of the celebration, to be part of jihadist central," Morell said. 

So yes, this covert administration that goes by the name "Biden administration" has made the Taliban great again by helping them to build back better. Okay, they were never really great, they sucked then and they suck now, but you get the picture.

Asked whether the U.S. is at greater risk in the region without a military presence in the country, Morell said explicitly, "we are more at risk, without a doubt. We haven’t yet put together a strategy...to collect intelligence, and then the Department. of Defense has to figure out this over the horizon capability," he said.

Even former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who worked closely with Biden before his severe cognitive decline told "Cavuto: Coast to Coast" on Monday that "the most important thing for this president to do is be willing to accept responsibility for the mistakes and move on, and to basically do what is necessary now to protect our national security."

Panetta explained that Biden has a responsibility "to do whatever the hell is necessary to get all U.S. personnel and Afghan allies who fought alongside us out of Afghanistan."

But let's face it--Biden can't even get out a clear sentence without screwing it up.
