Latest study confirms an uncomfortable truth about liberals v conservatives

If you've spent any time arguing with liberals online, you already knew something was off. But now academia has finally caught up after spending twelve years, $8,000,000 in grant money, and at least three emergency therapy llamas trying to figure out why conservatives seem less miserable.

A new study published in the journal Political Behavior reportedly found that “mental illness is emerging as its own political identity and is most heavily aligned with leftist political ideology and causes,” especially among younger Americans whose entire personalities consist of ring lights, pronouns, anxiety disorders, and explaining why capitalism caused Mercury to be in retrograde.

Researchers were stunned to discover conservatives tend to score higher in things like personal agency, religiosity, resilience, self-worth, optimism, and other dangerous extremist behaviors once commonly referred to as “functioning adulthood.”

Meanwhile, researchers noted many liberals continue to identify primarily as “neurospicy,” “trauma-informed,” or “currently processing.”

Columbia University's magazine observed in 2023 that "American adults who identify as politically liberal have long reported lower levels of happiness and psychological well-being than conservatives.” Experts initially blamed climate change, microplastics, Fox News, colonialism, and insufficient emotional support crocheting circles before reluctantly concluding that constantly believing civilization is collapsing and the planet is ready to turn into burnt toast, may not be terrific for mental health.

Scholars from the Universities of Florida and Toronto eventually determined conservatives often benefit from having purpose, accountability, community, and faith, which apparently works far better than posting “Normalize crying at work” on TikTok.

Professor Lauren Van De Hey of Utah State University found that “there is an emerging mental health political identity that is most pronounced among younger (Gen Z) and more liberal Americans."

So it appears that Democrats may have finally discovered a voting bloc even more reliable than vegan cat ladies.

According to the study, nearly half of participants identifying as mentally ill said that identity was very or somewhat important to them personally, just edging out astrology signs and preferred pronouns as core personality traits.

Van De Hey also noted, "I find that the political predictors and political consequences for the emerging mental health identity differ from those for physical disability and serious physical illness categorization and identification."

Conservatives interpreted this to mean one side treats anxiety like a medical condition while the other treats it like a Marvel origin story.

The study further found conservatives are less likely to define anxiety and depression as mental illnesses and are less likely to seek treatment. Van De Hey attributed this to a "personal responsibility ethos: they do not seek help when they think they can resolve the issues on their own." 

What a concept.

The left immediately condemned this dangerous philosophy, warning that independent problem-solving could discourage young Americans from developing lucrative lifelong dependencies on emotional support Discord servers.

Observers also noted the striking similarity between the left’s approach to gender politics and its increasingly activist approach to mental health. First Americans were encouraged to build identities around sexuality and gender confusion. Now they're encouraged to build identities around emotional instability.

Critics say the formula is simple: take a struggle, turn it into an identity, transform the identity into a political movement, then declare anyone questioning it a fascist.

Van De Hey warned, "These findings have far-reaching consequences for mental health advocacy, and the role mental health identity will play in the political sphere, especially as Gen Z matures as a cohort."

Political strategists reportedly agreed, noting that a permanently anxious, emotionally fragile electorate is much easier to manipulate than a population busy raising families, going to church, and mowing their lawns without needing a therapist on standby.

At publishing time, several progressive activists announced the article itself had caused “literal harm” and demanded taxpayers fund an emergency recovery retreat featuring drum circles, vegan snacks, and federally subsidized crying tents.

Literally.

Fox News, Having No Humility, Secretly Celebrates Pride Month

Fox News has given the term 'foxhole' an entirely new meaning. That is, the outlet is digging themselves an even deeper "Fox Hole" than they dug when they fired Tucker Carlson. The network is no longer considered to be the go-to source for conservative views and has gone woke in the spirit of CNN and MSNBC.

When Tucker was fired, ratings fell faster than the skivvies of a Bill Clinton aide, not only in Tucker's 8 p.m. prime time slot, but in the time slots of shows before and after his. Jessie Watters, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham all lost myriad viewers once Tucker left.

Still, the network pretended to be conservative and the voice of those on the right, until Harris Faulkner announced that Fox was going to the DEI agenda [diversity, equity and inclusion] into its business model to comply with New York's marxist laws.

However, Fox was hiding one thing they didn't want to trumpet, but then Daily Wire's Matt Walsh revealed the find on Tuesday. He went on Twitter and unmasked the out-of-the-way page on Fox's website: "America Together: Celebrating Diversity." The theme on the entire page was LGBT "Pride Month." 

“FOX News Media celebrates the contributions to America by the LGBTQ+ community,” the page quietly read. So Walsh tweeted out: 

Your trusted conservative news source is celebrating diversity this LGBTQ+ Pride Month pic.twitter.com/NAXoNuhISm

— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog)

Conservatives were livid and those of us already angry over the firing of Tucker Carlson were finding yet one more reason to dump Fox and go online to the conservative podcasts and websites.

WTF happened to Fox News? pic.twitter.com/EZvlKdjNXo

Another tweeted: 

I’m glad I cancelled our Fox Nation subscription. I wish I could cancel it twice! 🤣

— Tommy’s Garage (@TommysGarageTV) June 6, 2023

And this:

@FoxNews lost me a while ago. Replaced by substack subscriptions, @realDailyWire subscription, and a few other micro subscriptions. It is the way.

— ToBeRight (@ToBeRight) June 6, 2023

Like Bud Light and Target, Fox News is in a hole and doesn't know to stop digging and seems quite happy to jump on the child gender mutilation, diversity, and everybody wins a trophy bandwagon. 

Perhaps it's only a matter of time when Greg Gutfeld goes woke. He and the rest of the Fox News staff are not allowed to utter the words "Tucker Carlson" lest they suffer the same fate.

So who the hell is going to watch Fox News? Liberals certainly won't because as bad as Fox has become, they are still too conservative for their woke taste.  And conservatives who know they have choices also will go elsewhere. 

The not so foxy LGBTQ website is not who put Fox at the top of cable television and it's a betrayal of these conservatives. If you have any principles, you need to consider going elsewhere for your news and information because Fox News has been corrupted. Try Daily Wire, Megyn Kelly's podcast, Breitbart, Newsmax, and there are plenty of other choices.

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.

Leftist brain-trusts Dave Bautista and Alyssa Milano petition for Cruz to be expelled from Senate

Alyssa Milano, 48, born in Brooklyn, NY is a left-wing political activist She left Brooklyn and attended the Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California serving grades kindergarten through the 12th grade as a college prep school, although there does not appear to be any evidence of higher education in her history.

Two reviews of the school state:


"They also have a huge gym and a cafeteria that has delicious food."

"Buckley is terribly overpriced, and overrated."

Ms. Milano sports seven tattoos including a sacred heart on her butt cheek, a fairy kneeling on the grass along her hip, rosary beads on her back, an angel on her left ankle, a snake biting it's own tail [an Ouroboros] and on her dainty right wrist, an "om" as well as on her other wrist with flowers there and also on her right ankle. 

But in spite of her apparently Catholic-inspired images [of the heart and rosary], Milano had two abortions, putting her in the same "church pew" as Joe Biden who supports the killing of the unborn.

Dave Bautista, 52, whose birthday is today, Jan. 18th, is a former wrestler and mixed martial artist-turned actor. His mom, a lesbian, is of Greek descent and his father a Filipino immigrant. He was raised in poverty and had serious run-ins with the law. By age 13, he was stealing cars, and by 17 he was estranged from his parents, living on his own.

Bautista worked as a nightclub bouncer but was arrested after a fight that left two patrons injured, one who was left unconscious. He was given a year on probation, later working as a lifeguard and then got into bodybuilding, which he said saved his life.

He became a wrestler at which time he called himself "Batista." Finally he went into acting and used his real name at this point, while pretending to be the characters he played.

Rafael [Ted] Edward Cruz, 50, never went to acting school. Instead, he went to Princeton University and Harvard Law School and worked as a policy advisor for George W. Bush and then Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to 2008. Liberal Harvard Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz once said that Cruz was the brightest pupil he ever taught.

Cruz was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2012 and became the first Hispanic American to serve as a U.S. senator from Texas and was re-elected to the Senate in 2018, beating out Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke, a gun-grabbing leftist who respects the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution the way a snake respects a mouse.

Cruz and others faced criticism for perpetuating the idea that Joseph Robinette Biden won the presidential election using organized, wide-scale voter fraud. In the video below, he explains that he never intended to set aside the results of the election, but he asked to look into what half the nation believes was an unfair election.

On Sunday, Bautista took to Twitter to share the petition writing: "This cause is close to my heart - please sign."

Milano also shared the MoveOn.org petition later in the day with a gif that reads: "The path to unity flows through accountability. The path to healing begins with justice."

Their definition of justice is that conservatives either agree with them or shut up. Witness big tech lately. 

Neither one of these actors live or even come from Texas where Cruz was duly elected. 

The path to unity as a nation flows through the acceptance of our differences and the freedom to discuss and debate them. It comes from compromise at times. Healing will follow, not through punishing those with whom you disagree, but with honest, talk, and even more important, real listening.

You want healing and unity, start there.

Jayapal: COVID-19 'suffering' gives Democrats 'leverage' in Congress

Senor Wences lookalike Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Dummy-WA) told Vox on Wednesday that the "enormous suffering" that has already killed over 74,000 Americans and millions more across the globe, gives Democrats leverage on legislation addressing the coronavirus.

"When you think about traditional situations of crisis … whoever the ruling party is in the White House, that individual has this enormous opportunity to bring people together because that's what people want in a crisis," Jayapal callously said to the leftist outlet.

"None of that has happened…. For me, the leverage is that there is enormous suffering, and if we do not respond with the boldness and the scale that this crisis demands, then that suffering will continue."

Jayapal faced criticism from conservatives in April when she coldly warned Democrats that they were "giving away leverage" if they passed a clean bill replenishing the Paycheck Protection Program, which provides forgivable loans to small businesses reeling from the pandemic. A so-called clean bill is one in which extraneous garbage is kept out and only relevant legislation is written into it. Thus, there is no pork in the bill that tends to hold passage up.

So Democrats, in the spirit of caring less for those they represent and more for future votes, liberal policies and special interests, held up funding for weeks before they agreed to a $484 billion bill that also included additional aid for hospitals and testing.

Jayapal, who never had a thought to call her own, echoed previous calls from Democrats, including California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC), to see the deadly disease as an opportunity to push their own agendas rather than expeditiously deal with the pandemic.

Jayapal defended her earlier reference to leverage, calling the Republican response to the pandemic insufficient.

"How do we respond to the scale of the suffering? If we are just responding to one piece of it, but we are giving away the thing that Republicans are sort of hanging their hat on, then what brings them back to the table for negotiation?" she asked. "I think it’s important for us to not allow ourselves to be pulled into a place where we don’t define the agenda, given that we are the ones that seem to be put in the position of really defining what the solution is going to land on."

The only agenda should be that of helping the nation deal with the COVID-19 coronavirus. Giving help to first responders, manufacturing masks and PPEs, aiding hospitals, and developing testing and a vaccine as well as financially helping those whose jobs were put aside for now by the government. They owe that to the people. Not a handout to the Kennedy Center where Nancy "Hands-a-Dancing" Pelosi is on the board.

The look you get when the ventriloquist's
hand tickles

More than 74,000 Americans have died, and 33 million people have lost their jobs in the past two months. This should not be seen as a damn opportunity.

Nick Sandmann wins settlement over CNN the left's heads explode

You want to see a leftist's head explode? All you have to do is reelect President Trump, or shoot a home invader with your legal firearm, or wear a cross or Star of David, or kill an Iranian terrorist, or win a lawsuit against the Compromised News Network (CNN).

CNN eventually settled for a reportedly undisclosed amount in the defamation lawsuit from Covington Catholic student Nicholas Sandmann. Leftists went crazy on Twitter and used the news to go after President Trump, who they simply cannot get out of their collective heads. [They love the collective, by the way.] Of course, they also bashed Sandmann because he's a teenager and wears a MAGA hat and smiles.

But he must be smiling a lot more now after making CNN pay up after lying about him, saying that he instigated the confrontation with a Native American war hero [who turned out to be a Native American who served as a refrigerator repairman in the military and saw no action other than the protests he puts on because he hates authority.]

“The same Trump cultists celebrating Nick Sandmann’s victory against the corporate media outlets who smeared him with false accusations from social media mob bullying that generated fake clickbait news articles are strangely silent about all the liberals they falsely accused too,” tweeted Dr. Eugene Gu.

Well, I didn't bully anyone and I'm not silent. I'm celebrating Nick's victory over one of the top purveyors of fake news. I'm not saying everything that comes from CNN is fake, but there's enough garbage to fill a New York dump.

The same people who say that it's wrong to kill babies for your convenience or for any reason, are not being silent about Sandmann's win. The same people who are proud to be American and love the country in spite of our imperfections, are not being silent.

I hope Nick Sandmann continues to win in court over the myriad liars who attacked him. I hope he continues to make the minor league mentally ill on Twitter, like the scumwafer who called this 16-year-old kid a "cockroach" that CNN had to deal with, have their heads explode like the head of Maj. General Cassem Soleimani.

Amazon to AOC: 'Come see for yourself' [before saying stupid s**t]

They say you can put lipstick on a dumb rock and it's still a dumb Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez [aka Alexandria Obviously Communist-Cortex, aka AOC].

AOC has never visited an Amazon facility but she "knows" how horrible the working conditions are--employees have to pee in bottles just to keep working in order to meet work quotas or be thrown out of the job. She knows this in her communist heart because she says so and young people believe her because they feel she's the brightest light on the Christmas tree. 

Actually, she's the bug-eyed socialist that fell off the turnip truck.

So instead of setting up a headquarters in New York City's borough of Queens, bringing 25,000 jobs paying an average of $150,000 annually, the company decided it wasn't worth the effort to come to New York.

After AOC made her claims of "dehumanizing" and otherwise poor working conditions, Amazon invited the former bartender to come "see for yourself," since she had never actually seen the working conditions she was commenting on, nor ever worked in a management capacity of any company.

It was Amazon’s David Clark, senior vice president of worldwide operations, who made the invitation on Twitter after Obviously-Communist Cortex accused the e-commerce giant of creating “dehumanizing conditions” for its employees.

“Is that culture of ‘strict performance’ why Amazon workers have to urinate in bottles & work while on food stamps to meet ‘targets’? ‘Performance’ shouldn’t come at the cost of dehumanizing conditions. That’s why we got rid of sweatshops,” she ignorantly wrote having nothing concrete on which to base her accusation.

Clark fired back, stating that such allegations “aren’t true” and invited the silly congress-turnip to visit the company in order to get a sense of how the employees are actually treated, rather than making false claims based on AOC's hatred of big businesses and individual success. 

Hopefully, if Clark somehow changes AOC's small mind the company still won't consider New York for their second HQ--schadenfreude is a wonderful feeling when it comes to owning socialists and if anyone deserves to be seen as the idiot for who they are, it's Alexandria Obviously Communist-Cortex.

Clark tweeted:

“@aoc these claims simply aren’t true. We are proud of our jobs with excellent pay ($15 min), benefits from day 1, & lots of other benefits like our Career Choice pre-paid educational programs. Why don’t you come take a tour & see for yourself...we’d love to have you!” 

It's doubtful she would actually make the trip because it would embarrass her.

The latest exchange came after Amazon’s spokesman slammed the New York socialist and other libtard lawmakers in the state for creating a hostile environment to make business – culminating in the company’s decision to pull out of the project to build its planned headquarters in the borough of Queens in New York City. (Communist-Cortex's district includes parts of Queens and the Bronx.)

“If you talk to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, it's 'Never Amazon,'” Jodi Seth, the head of policy communications for Amazon, told NBC News in an interview Thursday. “If you talk to [New York City Councilman Jimmy] Van Bramer, it's unions.”

AOC stupidly celebrated the decision, even though others noted that this actually means a loss of well-paying jobs in the state and the fact that her own constituents, particularly blacks and Hispanics, were highly in favor of Amazon coming to New York City. Her communist ideology is obviously more important to her than the people she pretends to represent.

The fresh-face freshman congresswoman had tweeted about her personal "victory":

“Anything is possible: today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world.” 

Ms. Seth explained that it wasn’t “any one incident” that prompted the company to back out of the deal with the state, but it was the virulent political climate that occurred over the past three months that led to the decision.

“It was that the environment over the course of the past three months had not got any better. There were some local and state elected officials who refused to meet with Amazon and criticized us day in and day out about the plan,” she said in the interview.

Even New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), a staunch ignoramus progressive, slammed Alexandria Obviously Communist-Cortex over the glee she displayed with the loss of Amazon's business.

New York Democrats made their beds, now they must wash their dirty sheets.

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

Virginia abortion bill co-sponsor postpones town hall over 'safety concerns' for her, not babies

A town hall meeting that was scheduled for today, Saturday, featuring Democrat Kathy Tran, [aka "The Dragon Lady"] the Virginia state delegate who co-sponsored the state’s controversial late-term abortion bill, has been postponed over “security and safety concerns.” She does not want to be injured by anyone angry at her for wanting to kill babies.

Tran is a co-sponsor of Virginia’s Repeal Act, which seeks to allow third-trimester abortions in virtually all cases in which the mother wants to kill her baby. The Dragon Lady had been scheduled to meet with constituents on Saturday in Lorton, Va., along with state Sens. Scott Surovell and George Barker, also Democrats.

“Unfortunately, we are postponing our joint legislative town hall meeting scheduled for Saturday, February 2 due to security and safety concerns for our constituents who planned to attend as well as participants coming to youth sports activities at South County High School,” the lawmakers wrote in an online post.

Apparently, Tran worries that people who value the sanctity of all human life would become violent with her for having no remorse over committing violent infanticide. She is probably wrong--these people tend not to be violent to the morally challenged unless they pose a personal threat, but there are always a few crazy people who might.

“We value talking to constituents about their concerns for our community and how we can help address them,” the statement continued. “We had looked forward to continuing this dialogue and sharing legislative updates this weekend. While we are very disappointed to have to make this decision, the safety of our neighbors and constituents is paramount.

“We will update our constituents once our town hall is rescheduled. We will continue to make ourselves available to hear our constituents’ priorities, including those with differing opinions.”

Tran angered pro-life people this week when she said that, under the bill, a pregnant woman who was dilating could still request an abortion.

She later said she “misspoke” when she made the comment during a legislative hearing. She didn't misspeak--watch the video--she told the truth. Maybe for a Democrat that whenever they tell the truth they consider it misspeaking. But the video tells it all.

I hope you will follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

Tulsi Gabbard has a pro-LGBTQsilentP epiphany: 'I've evolved

Tulsi Gabbard Leied

Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) announced that she is running for president in 2020 and before she practically got home to watch CNN, the spotlight quickly shifted to anti-gay comments and actions from her past.

Gabbard, a 37-year-old Democratic is known for being politically unpredictable, something she has publicly said that she takes pride in, but not gay pride.

Some of her fiery statements against same-sex marriage in years past, as well as her active campaign to promote “traditional marriage” legislation, have drawn closer scrutiny but her party's virtue-signalers since she made her announcement Friday.

FUN FACT: "Tulsi" means "basil" in Hindi, an herb that's sacred to Hindus because of its medicinal properties.

Several times in the past, Gabbard  referred to LGBTQ activists as “homosexual extremists,” a view that echoes that of her father, Mike Gabbard. In a New Yorker profile of the congresswoman  Mike was described as having long been “Hawaii’s leading opponent of the gay-rights movement, an energetic and often brusque activist who stood ever ready to denounce what he called ‘the radical homosexual agenda.’”

Like how you can't watch a Netflix series without gay sexual behavior taking place, or swing a dead chicken without hitting a ten-year-old boy in drag at a gay bar singing like Judy Garland.

Gabbard was a visible force against same-sex marriage, and in 2004 spearheaded a fight in the state against a same-sex union measure. “To try to act as if there is a difference between ‘civil unions’ and same-sex marriage is dishonest, cowardly and extremely disrespectful to the people of Hawaii,” she said at the time. “As Democrats, we should be representing the views of the people, not a small number of homosexual extremists.”

But this all took place before she decided to run for president. Now she would have to sell out to the leftists who believe that sending their ten-year-old boys onstage in drag with naked drag queen dudes is okay.

Gabbard then also spoke out against Massachusetts’ passage of same-sex marriage legislation, making it the first in the nation to recognize gay marriage. Speaking on behalf of the Alliance for Traditional Marriage and Values, a group headed by her father, she said the Massachusetts marriage law would cause a ripple effect across the country.

“It is highly likely that federal judges will soon be tearing apart our U.S. Constitution in order to force same-sex marriage down the throats [yuck] of the people of Hawaii and America,” Gabbard said. “The only way to protect traditional marriage in Hawaii and throughout our country, the only way to stop activist federal judges from rewriting our constitution, is by the passage of the Federal Marriage Amendment.”

The Alliance for Traditional Marriage and Values also drew controversy for supporting so-called conversion gay therapy, which views homosexuality as a mental illness. More than a dozen states in the country have since outlawed or restricted the controversial practice. Homosexuality may or may not be a mental illness, the jury is still out on that, but transgenderism definitely. It is a mental illness to believe that you can mutilate your genitals and voila, change your gender. 

Biology doesn't agree.

But Gabbard has in recent years said she has evolved in her views about gay rights, and has actively helped further LGBTQ interests in Congress. This is technically known as selling out in the service of the election.

She said in a statement on Sunday, after her old remarks and actions came under fire, that she was sorry about her past views and comments and wished she was never caught saying those things.

“Over the past six years in Congress, I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to help work toward passing legislation that ensures equal rights and protections on LGBTQ+silentP issues,” Gabbard said. “Much work remains to ensure equality and civil rights protections for LGBTQ+silentP Americans and if elected president, I will continue to fight for equal rights for all.”

Now that she's running for president in 2020, she's evolved.

So there you have it. Nobody in politics is immune to being a hypocritical dirtbag. Nobody.

Will 2019 be the year you follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint? Let's hope so, because politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

DNC chair Perez hopes to overload SCOTUS

"Feces, I tell you, feces"

Democratic National Committee chairman Tom "Potty Mouth" Perez spoke at a Demand Justice event. Leftist activist hawked proposals such as stuffing the Supreme Court with as many Democrats as possible in order to have judicial rulings that favor their power and provide the left with even more ability to drive the nation into the ditch of history.

Demand Justice is run by former Hillary Clinton's spokesman Brian Fallon. The group was created in early 2018 and designed to influence political decisions of America's courts by supporting leftist judicial nominees and opposing conservative and right-of-center nominees. They use media to get their point across as well as identity politics and lies. They strongly opposed the confirmation of now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

The group hosted a Wednesday night discussion on solutions to fix a "court in crisis" now that Donald Trump has gotten two justices confirmed to the SCOTUS in his first two years in office.

Fallon introduced Potty Mouth Perez with a speech on how proposals to "meaningfully reform the Supreme Court" need to be part of the Democratic presidential primary discussion.

Democrats have never been able to accept the fact that they lost to Trump and that elections have consequences. Now that the Supreme Court is a bit conservative-heavy, they can't tolerate it and want to change the rules, like a child who threatens to take his ball home if you don't allow him to be "safe" at first base.

"We must look at ideas like expanding the number of justices on the Court, to ensure that a future Democratic president might have the chance to fill two or more seats," Fallon cried, because it just isn't fair the way he sees it. "Some sort of reform must be part of the 2020 discussion, and we're hoping to start that discussion today."

Perez did not specifically argue for the proposal to pack the court or other recommendations such as impeaching Kavanaugh or installing term limits for justices, but he did characterize the "reform proposals" that were being offered during the event as "practical suggestions."

Impeach Kavanaugh for what?

"What I'm not going to do tonight, because there's a panel of remarkable experts to do it, is get into the critical minutia of what we do from here," Perez said to the crowd of liberal activists coming down from their highs.

"I'm confident you'll come away from here with a blueprint of practical suggestions," Perez added. "I've been in many foxholes with all of you, and I'll get in a foxhole with you all any day of the week."

Perez has never been in a real foxhole, or in a real combat situation in his life, but it sounds macho and makes him feel like a man.

Then a panel followed Perez's macho display featuring Todd Tucker [which brings to mind a limerick, which I cannot post here].

Last month Tucker released a report calling for "adding justices to the bench through Court expansion." He has been a longtime advocate for court packing, when it suits his party's purpose.  In June he claimed that court packing would be the best response to the "conservative majority’s support of Trumpism."

Others also spoke and advocated for court packing because the current SCOTUS favors the GOP.

Perez and the DNC have not state publicly whether he is for or against packing the Court if Democrats are able to gain power in 2020. The DNC did not respond to a request for comment on whether it views court packing as a winning issue for the party this election cycle, but it certainly shows the level at which they are sore losers.

Fallon also did not respond to an inquiry into whether he had discussed court packing with Perez.

The full event can be viewed on Demand Justice's Facebook page.

Watch it and learn who the left really is.

Democratic state senator's face flushes over women's toilet

A biological male Democrat who may, or may not identify as such, has been accused of repeatedly using the women's restroom. This has been quite disturbing to women Democrats who identify as such and believe that anyone should be allowed to use any restroom if they so choose to identify as whatever, as long as it doesn't involve them being in the restroom at the same time.

State Sen. Daniel Kagan (D-CO) has been accused by female colleagues earlier this year of using the women's restroom. Now the senator, a white male, is resigning in January.

“It’s been a great honor to serve the people of Colorado for just short of a decade,” Kagan said in a statement. “An important obligation of leaders, I believe, is to be open to acknowledging that it’s time to pass the torch to new leadership and, for me, that time is now.”

He wanted to pass that torch along the third bathroom stall but the party refused his request.

Kagan was instrumental in repealing a 19th-century law that criminalized adultery, a law he regarded as giving authorities the power to question people about their personal lives, “which is a gross invasion of privacy that’s fully within the rights of the police right now.” He felt adultery laws are similar to laws about domestic violence--it's private and nobody's business if your spouse just won't listen to your commands. He also doesn't believe that adultery is such a bad thing as long as you don't get caught.

Republican state Sen. Beth Martinez Humenik said several women attested that they saw Kagan using a women’s restroom on multiple occasions since January 2017. Humenik filed a workplace sexual harassment complaint against Kagan in March, which, according to what Democrats claim, should not be a problem if Kagan identifies as a woman while using the women's toilet, or at times when a female state Senator is using the facilities.

Kagan said he’d entered the women’s restroom only once by mistake because it was unlabeled and he couldn't tell if the meme on the door was that of a person in a skirt or a Scotsman wearing a kilt.

The debacle prompted the state Senate to post signs outside its restroom designating “men” and “women,” Denver’s KUSA-TV reported. However, it isn't clear if Kagan is literate because it happened more than once.

“I asked for a public apology to all involved, not a resignation,” Humenik said Wednesday. “We are still waiting on his apology.”

But waiting for an apology from a Democrat is like waiting for the petal of an iris to open, or for John Kerry to go bald.

Colorado GOP spokesman concurred, saying Kagan should have apologized rather than “just resigning to avoid having to look at them.”

Colorado Public Radio reported earlier this year that Kagan, quite ironically, was among a group of Democratic senators who have hypocritically called for the ouster of Republican state Sen. Randy Baumgardner, amid accusations that he groped an aide in 2016. [At least Baumgardner uses the men's room when he has to answer the call of nature.]

“Many butt-slappers and thigh-strokers fancy that they are merely flirting and flattering,” Kagan said before the Senate.

Seriously, he really said that.

MS-13 member, Interpol fugitive, busted under Operation Matador returned to El Salvador

New York -- A female MS-13 gang member who is wanted to face charges in El Salvador was apprehended and arrested in March under Operation Matador, pursuant to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations. Her criminal butt was sent to El Salvador by ICE and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).

Milessa Cortez-Granados [no apparent relation to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] is a 32-year-old active MS-13 member and future Democrat had she stayed in the U.S., and entered at an unknown location on an unknown date. She was convicted on Nov. 2, 2009 in U.S. District Court, Western District of Texas, of illegally entering the U.S. and sentenced to time served--possibly because Nancy Pelosi pointed out how we all have a spark of divinity. ICE removed her on the same date.

But there she goes again and re-enters the U.S. for a second time.

According to Salvadoran law enforcement officials, on Jan. 12, 2013, Cortez-Granados, along with other scumcrumpets, threatened police officers who were patrolling the local area with firearms. She was the one that told the group where the officers were located, and as a result, several police officers were injured.

Concurrent to the attack on the cops, Cortez-Grenados' spark of divinity began to flicker.

In November 2016, Salvadoran law enforcement officials in San Miguel, El Salvador, issued an Interpol Red Notice for her arrest. The charges were attempted aggravated murder, attempted aggravated damages, and terrorist organizations.

On the "Ides of March" 2018, she was arrested in Hempstead, New York, by HSI Long Island's Violent Gang Unit, under the auspices of Operation Matador--she was detained in ERO custody.

"He is like, yo"

On Oct. 26, 2018, she was ordered removed by an immigration judge in New York City. This paved the way for her removal back to El Salvador, which was subsequently performed via an ICE Air Operations Charter flight and she was transferred into the custody of Salvadoran law enforcement authorities.

Since Oct. 1, 2009, ERO has removed more than 1,700 foreign fugitives from the U.S. who were sought in their native countries for serious crimes, including kidnapping, rape, and murder.

In fiscal year 2017, ICE conducted 226,119 removals nationwide. Fully 83 percent of those individuals removed from the interior of the U.S. had previously been convicted of a criminal offense.

And leftists are upset with ICE.

Dems complain of war zone PTSD ahead of scary midterm elections

Democrats who once thought of themselves as brave pioneers for socialism have a serious mental issue: they are scheduling psychotherapy visits due to "post traumatic stress disorder" along with "nightmares," and "anxiety" ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, according to Politico.

"Haunted by memories of 2016, liberals around the country are riven with anxiety in the campaign’s homestretch," Politico claims, and adding that leftists are dealing with the horrifying possibility that most polls — like in 2016 — are wrong, and that rumors of a "blue wave" are far overstated. 

"What if we die?" they think sub-vocally.

"Some report literal nightmares about a Democratic wipe-out," the Washington based outlet adds. "We're kind of just in the bed-wetting phase now," a Democratic pollster actually said out loud in an interview with Politico. 

A former Pelosi staffer admits that she has nightmares every night, after falling asleep reading the latest polls. All she has to do is not read the polls before bedtime, but obviously, if she worked for Nancy Pelosi, what can we expect from her?

According to a YouGov poll last week, some are complaining of symptoms of "post traumatic stress disorder" [PTSD]. Imagine if these creampuffs had to defend the nation. They wouldn't just wet the bed, they'd soil the bed, cry and hide under the covers in the stink.

Fully twenty-five percent of college students are suffering symptoms of PTSD according to the Journal of American College Health [an oxymoron if there ever was one], similar to those who've experienced school shootings--although all they've experienced is election results they don't like.

As I write this, I am waiting for the arrival of my "Liberal Tears" mug from the Daily Wire. I can't wait to use it.

Fauxcahontas will most assuredly run for POTUS

Sen. Elizabeth Warren [aka: Pocahontas, aka: Fauxcahontas, aka: Princess Summer Fall Winter Spring] (D-MA) is taking a "hard look" at running for President and thus, running the United States of America into the ground.

She says she'll seriously consider a presidential run after the November midterm elections, and after a pow-wow with her tribe.

"Let's face it, Donald Trump is taking this country in the wrong direction," she told a Holyoke town hall audience, as she referred to Trump's lower taxes, the appointment of a record number of conservative judges to the bench, the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, a relationship with North Korea that has never been this hopeful, better trade deals, historically lower unemployment for Blacks and Hispanics, a stronger military, an ending of the Iran nuclear debacle, and a total butt-kicking of Islamic State.

Warren sent her statement to The Daily Beast, according to a spokesperson.

"Working people have taken one punch to the gut after another," Warren said, without saying "How," a word she often uses in greeting. "And I am worried down to my bones about what Donald Trump is doing to our democracy."

This should have gotten a laugh from her audience, but they weren't bright enough to understand the humor in it because they are progressives.

She had to be kidding about the punch to the gut for working people. More money in their paychecks and fewer regulations and more jobs is anything but a punch to the gut.

"And then this week, I watched 11 men who were too chicken to ask a woman a single question," she said, evidently referring to her 10 Democrat colleagues who just made speeches and threw Dr. Ford compliments at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for SCOTUS nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

"I watched as Brett Kavanaugh acted like he was entitled to that position [much like Hillary acted in 2016] and angry at anyone who would question him."

No Faux, [may I call you Faux?] he was angry about being accused of something he probably didn't do. He was angry at the lack of corroborating evidence that, as a judge, he's used to seeing and relying upon. He was angry at the way idiots like Kamala Harris and Spartacus Booker questioned him while trying to earn presidential cred. He has every right and reason to be angry at the freak show put on by the Democratic Party. But if he wasn't angry, the left would have said he was 'robotic' and therefore guilty of what he's being accused.

Warren bloviated on: "I watched that and I thought time's up. Time's up. It's time for women to go to Washington and fix our broken government and that includes a woman at the top. So here's what I promise, after November 6, I will take a hard look at running for President."

Of course, that's a lie. She has already decided to run, but she's watering the plants known as Democrats.

Cory 'Spartacus' Booker more like Flubadub

Booker being Spartacus

The so-called "confidential" Brett Kavanaugh emails posted by the "brave" Cory Booker were not confidential and certainly not brave--they were cleared in spite of the drama queen's theatrics and his "bring it on" gutless threat. Of course, CNN and MSNBC will likely never tell you this important fact.

How did this guy ever get elected? Oh wait--he's a Democrat--they love their drama queens.

Booker knew the documents were cleared and no longer classified early this morning, so it was simply Booker balderdash and not in defiance of Senate rules.

Yes, it was all make believe when Booker said he would "knowingly" violate Senate rules to release the emails marked "committee confidential" showing Kavanaugh discussing racial profiling as a White House lawyer in 2002.

He "bravely" called his actions an act of "civil disobedience" and said he was ready to accept the punishment with a ballsy "bring it."

"I am going to release the email about racial profiling and I understand that the penalty comes with potential ousting from the Senate," the hero of the world said, as he hopes to become a 2020 presidential candidate.

But the funniest point came when the cretin said, "This is about the closest I'll probably ever have in my life to an, 'I am Spartacus' moment."

Only difference is Spartacus had to hide his identity to avoid being crucified, and Booker is no Spartacus.

In fact, the idiot didn't break any rules and he knew it, but he had to brag and bluster, as if he is a brave soul. The Republicans on the Judiciary Committee worked with the George W. Bush library and the Justice Department cleared the emails overnight. The restrictions were waived and Booker took no risks, nor carried out an act of "civil disobedience." He lied, his credibility died.

"Clearly, he is running for president," Republican Senator John Thune told Fox News, referring to Booker.

The emails were likely cleared partially due to the involvement of Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who tweeted:

"I've said it before and I'll say it again: I will happily work with any of my colleagues from across the aisle to go through the necessary steps and processes to try and get specific classified documents released to the public."

The Spartacus wannabe released  12 pages of emails which had been marked "committee confidential" online to the public. They addressed the issue of racial profiling including internal 9/11 discussions about this issue. But if Booker actually read them, he would have learned that Kavanaugh is against racial profiling based on religion and race, which destroys his allegation that Kavanaugh is a racist, as the left loves to say about all Republicans.

When Kavanaugh was working for the Bush administration in 2002, he said . he "generally" was in favor of race-neutral security measures, but added that they must "grapple" with the "interim question of what to do before a truly effective and comprehensive race-neutral system is developed and implemented."

He wrote [just weeks after the 9/11 attacks] that the "interim question" is of "critical importance to the security of the airlines and American people in the next 6 months or so, especially given Al Qaeda's track record of timing between terrorist incidents."

Don't you just hate it when somebody wants to prevent further terrorist attacks?

Flub-a-dub

On the previous day, Booker [aka "Spartacus"] implied Kavanaugh was amenable to racial profiling tactics and cited several email exchanges. But as mentioned, Spartacus didn't read them in depth. He read what he wanted to read.

But Spartacus didn't provide Kavanaugh with a copy of the emails he was referring to because he may have realized that the judge is a hell of a lot smarter than him.

Let's be clear--Booker is a creepy coward.

Hypocrisy Alert: 43% of GOP say Trump should be allowed to shut down media

POTUS continues to call news organizations that report false, disagreeable or negative things about him as "fake news." He's right in many instances--the left hates him and most mainstream news outlets are left-leaning and no longer report the news but provide consumers of news with opinions. That isn't fake, it's slanted.

But Trump has gone so far as to call journalists the "enemies of the American people." That, folks, is fake news.

The press often lies by omission and slants their take in accordance with their political views, but that's actually their right, whether it's right or wrong to do so. A flat out lie is not what I'm talking about--omitting something is unethical, but it isn't the same thing as a lie.

Sadly, in an Ipsos survey reported on by the Daily Beast, 43 percent of Republicans now say he "should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior."

Bad behavior? Isn't that kind of the same idea as hate speech? Aren't conservatives and other staunch constitutionalists upset over social media giants banning conspiracy theorist Alex Jones? As much as he sucks as a human being, he has the right to say whatever he wants as long as he doesn't call for violence or do anything vile regarding children.

The Ipsos survey resulted in only 36 percent of GOP voters disagreeing with the notion that Trump should have the authority to close news outlets he believes engage in "bad behavior."

When asked whether Trump should close down specific organizations such as CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, 23 percent said he should and 49 percent did not.

The survey also showed that overall, Republicans were likely to dislike the media more than Democrats.

Gee, I wonder why when they ask hard-hitting questions like: "What's your favorite color, Mr. Obama?" or "Does your awesomeness ever get in the way of your boyish good looks, Mr. Obama?"

Forty-eight percent in the survey said they believe the "news media is the enemy of the American people." Only 28 percent disagreed.

One statistic that's hard to dispute is the one whereby nearly four out of five (79 percent) believe "the mainstream media treats President Trump unfairly."

Show me one instance where they erred on the side of Trump rather than against him.

Trump has referred to US libel laws "a sham and a disgrace," and often says that journalists lie and make up sources, and they knowingly report false information to make him look bad.

The danger to these claims is to a free press, and that becomes a danger to freedom.

Speaking of free, it's the free market that can put so-called fake news in check. If you don't believe a source of news, don't support it. If it can be proven they are intentionally lying, that's when libel laws should kick in.

"The Fake News hates me saying that they are the Enemy of the People only because they know it's TRUE. I am providing a great service by explaining this to the American People. They purposely cause great division & distrust. They can also cause War! They are very dangerous & sick!" he tweeted on Sunday.

If you believe all of those claims, then you're simply believing in the other fake news, and that's just as dangerous as the claims Trump is making.

Dictatorships usually censor the media and have it support their own agenda.

I may hate MSNBC and despise CNN, but I don't want them muzzled any more than I want the idiot Alex Jones muzzled.

There is a saying that liberals hates it when conservatives talk. And conservatives want liberals to keep talking.

According to the survey, it isn't only the GOP who think POTUS should have the power to shut up the media. Twelve percent of Democrats and 21 percent of Independents agree that "the president should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior."

Proof that the average IQ is around 100, and our schools are teaching to the low end.

On a positive note, 74 percent of Democrats and 55 percent of Independents disagreed with the statement. However, 12 percent of Democrats and 26 percent Independents agree "the news media is the enemy of the American people," and 74 percent Dems and 50 percent Independents disagreed.

Overall, 57 percent of all surveyed believe the news media and reporters are "necessary to keep the Trump administration honest," including 39 percent plurality of Republicans.

It's just too bad the media didn't do that with the Obama administration nor would they have been likely to have kept the Hillary Clinton administration honest had she won. [God forbid.]

A large majority, 85 percent, rightfully believe that "freedom of the press is essential for American democracy" compared to 4 percent who stupidly oppose that statement.

A recent Gallup poll showed that 41 percent of voters approve of the job Trump is doing while 54 percent wouldn't approve of him if he cured cancer and brought us world peace. They'd say he put a lot of doctors out of work and he only created world peace because he's a racist and to stroke his ego.

Dems worry that they've gone too far

"Look Aunty Maxine--a dead bird"

Some Democrats are worried about the Nazi tactics those in their party are employing [read the history on those tactics if you don't believe it] in spite of their claim that it's the GOP who are the Nazis. These worried liberals are afraid that they will have their collective butts handed to them in the midterm elections in November.

Specifically, Trump officials have been publicly harassed and shamed by the left using the same Josef Goebbels tactics the Nazis used against the Jews in Germany before and during the Second World War.

For example, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was verbally attacked at a Mexican restaurant and White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders [and her family] was asked to leave the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia by the owner.

On Monday night, demonstrators gathered at the home of Stephen Miller, a Trump adviser, but they didn't realize he wasn't home.

The left-leaning Washington Post wrote an editorial titled, "Let the Trump team eat in peace." They called the Nazi tactics their fellow leftists are using a heightened state of "passions" and saw no benefit in the interrupting of dinners.

In fact, they're probably worried that it will actually serve the Republican Party come November and create sympathy for the Trump administration.

Possibly the dumbest person on the far left, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), called for her fellow fascists to confront members of the Trump administration wherever and whenever they are seen in public--gas stations, restaurants, etc.

"If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant," Waters shouted Saturday to a crowd of cretins, "in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere.

Later that day on MSNBC she said that protesters are "going to absolutely harass them."

Waters' call for potential violence was in response to President Trump's "zero-tolerance" immigration policy in which the law is being followed to the letter.

As predicted, she later claimed her comments have been misunderstood. She wasn't calling for protesters to literally "harm" Cabinet members--just get all worked up and scream at them.

"Trump is the one who is creating lies," Waters said at a Monday news conference. "Trying to have people believe that I talked about harming people. There's nowhere in my statement, anytime, anyplace that we talked about harm."

 If she believes that harassment under intense emotions would not eventually lead to physical violence, she is merely proving her lack of intelligence.

Trump would love to make Waters the Democratic Party's spokesperson. He tweeted on Monday:

"Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!"

Even David Axelrod tried to urge calm suggesting people organize, donate [of course], volunteer and vote. He said "ultimately, counter-productive gestures . . . won't change a thing."

It looks like the Democratic Party is going crazy with Trump Derangement Syndrome. They see his policies are working and have no platform to stand on so they have to resort to classless, adolescent behavior.
