Media Mourns America's 250th Birthday After Citizens Recklessly Celebrate America Instead of Their Feelings

America turned 250 this Fourth of July, but according to the nation's most reliable experts on misery, the real tragedy was that too many people appeared to enjoy themselves.

While millions of Americans celebrated the country's founding with fireworks, flags, and gratitude, much of the corporate press responded as though they had just witnessed a national catastrophe. Apparently, nothing ruins Independence Day quite like an Independence Day celebration featuring... the President of the United States.

The New York Times led the annual Festival of Progressive Despair with an opinion piece by Robin Givhan titled, "Trump Ruined the Fourth of July for Me."

"But this year, I can barely tolerate the sight of red, white and blue," Givhan wrote. "When combined into a maximalist display of nationalist cheerleading, the colors make my heart ache. The flags on federal buildings are grand, but they hang alongside banners featuring President Trump’s scowling face."

One can only imagine the emotional trauma of accidentally encountering the American flag on Independence Day. Therapy dogs are reportedly standing by.

Not to be outdone, The Atlantic's Anne Applebaum declared that President Donald Trump had "inevitably" destroyed America's semiquincentennial celebration simply by existing.

"This year is different, because the White House is inhabited by people who don’t believe in the 'abstractions' that we usually celebrate on the Fourth of July," Applebaum wrote. "And this affects the rest of us, whether we want it to or not. Congress’s celebration, planned for a decade, has been usurped by the president’s celebration, funded by private donors and featuring a political speech by himself. Other institutions in and around Washington postponed or reduced their 250th celebrations, so as not to get in the way of the president. Many people who might have participated will not attend, pay attention, or care."

That is quite a claim considering Americans across the country somehow found time to attend parades, backyard barbecues, fireworks shows, and family gatherings without first consulting an Atlantic columnist.

The Washington Post also worried that Trump had made himself "central" to the anniversary celebration.

"As he has throughout the anniversary celebration, Trump cast himself as central to the story he wants the country to tell about itself: that America was diminished before him, revived by him and is now celebrating its founding through his restoration, a promised 'Golden Age.' At Mount Rushmore on Friday night, he told the crowd that he 'saved, almost single-handedly,' the Second Amendment and that he was going to 'give our country its identity back,'" the reporters wrote.

One almost gets the impression that presidents often deliver speeches during national celebrations. What an unprecedented constitutional crisis.

Former NBC host Chuck Todd responded as though the Declaration of Independence had been replaced with a Trump campaign flyer.

"Trump’s doing all of us a favor by selfishly trying to steal this anniversary from us. We now see who he really is. So no, it’s not the celebration we deserve. It’s not the one we could have had. But we get a mirror, and the mirror is telling us something. The country is a lot bigger than Donald Trump. It is bigger than any president, and it’s obviously bigger than any political party. And there’s no one definition of patriotism," Todd said.

He continued, "But it still needs leaders who understand that it still needs citizens who insist on it. And it still needs people willing to say that the national story belongs to all of us, not just whoever happens to hold power at any one moment. America at 250 may be a lost opportunity. Donald Trump has absolutely sullied the brand of America. But America 275 does not have to be."

Todd later confessed he felt angry and "betrayed as an American," insisting Trump had "cheapened" the nation.

"This is why I’m so pissed off. Not because I love the country less, but because I love the idea of America enough to resent seeing it cheapened by this man. America deserved better at 250. Some day, I believe it will get better. But it's in your hands," Todd said.

The irony is difficult to miss. While ordinary Americans spent the holiday waving flags and celebrating the country that has provided more liberty and prosperity than any nation in history, many elite commentators seemed personally offended that anyone would display too much patriotism.

For a movement that constantly insists America is irredeemably flawed, Independence Day presents an annual dilemma. It is difficult to celebrate a nation you spend the other 364 days apologizing for.

Meanwhile, President Trump delivered a 28 minute speech at Mount Rushmore before a 23 minute fireworks display honoring America's 250th birthday.

"The American dream still lives, and the American flag still flies more proudly than ever before over the people who will not quit," Trump said. "The nation that will not fail, the country that will not fall no matter how hard the enemy tries, we cannot be beaten."

Judging by the media reaction, the fireworks were not the loudest explosions of the evening. That honor belonged to the sound of progressive pundits collectively melting down because America celebrated . . .  America.

Abdul El-Sayed's Bold New Crime Plan: What If We Just Let Everyone Out?

In what can only be described as the Democratic Party's latest audition for a reboot of Escape from New York, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has resurfaced comments advocating for the mass release of prisoners while participating in a webinar that featured a convicted murderer and a registered sex offender.

The August 2020 webinar, hosted by prison abolition activists and promoted with hashtags such as #FreeThemAll and #AbolishPrison, invited El-Sayed to discuss the "road to decarceration and abolition." For those unfamiliar with progressive jargon, "decarceration" is the fancy academic term for "let's see what happens if we stop putting criminals in prison."

El-Sayed enthusiastically embraced the concept.

"Not only are we taking people's rights from them, but also we have failed to provide them the basic means of a dignified life," he said. "Every choice we make about incarcerating somebody is about robbing that somebody from the people who love them and the people who need them."

Noticeably absent from the discussion were the people who got robbed, assaulted, raped, murdered, or otherwise victimized by the criminals in question. In the progressive hierarchy of compassion, crime victims increasingly appear to rank somewhere below convicted felons and slightly above carbon emissions.

El-Sayed went even further, declaring:

"Any and all efforts to get people out of jails and prisons and to keep people out of jails and prisons is policy that we need to be investing in."

Any and all efforts.

That's quite a slogan. Most politicians at least pretend to draw a distinction between a shoplifter and a serial violent offender. El-Sayed appears to have settled on a more streamlined approach: prison bad, freedom good, details unnecessary.

The webinar itself was a remarkable spectacle. Joining El-Sayed were former prisoners Martin Vargas, a registered sex offender convicted of raping a 17-year-old girl, and LaWanda Hollister, who served 34 years for second-degree murder. It was essentially a campaign event that accidentally wandered into the casting department for a true-crime documentary.

Yet this wasn't an isolated incident. Earlier that year, El-Sayed appeared on a podcast hosted by Joshua Hoe, a registered sex offender who pleaded guilty to soliciting a 14-year-old girl for sex. Rather than treating such a background as disqualifying for public leadership, El-Sayed encouraged Hoe and other former convicts to run for office because their "voice is needed."

One can only imagine the campaign slogan: Experience matters.

Republicans have already seized on El-Sayed's record, portraying him as a far-left ideologue whose political instincts seem permanently trapped inside a graduate seminar on prison abolition. His associations with socialist influencers, anti-Israel activists, and various progressive causes have already raised eyebrows. But telling voters that prisons themselves are the problem may be the kind of argument that sounds better in an activist Zoom call than in a general election.

After all, most Americans still cling to the quaint and outdated notion that people who commit serious crimes should face serious consequences.

El-Sayed and his allies appear determined to challenge that assumption.

The rest of Michigan may soon have an opportunity to decide whether that vision represents criminal justice reform or simply criminal justice surrender.

Swalwell gets the Dem hook for sexual misconduct allegations

"It's this big"

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) just dropped a political grenade on Monday, announcing he would resign his congressional seat in the wake of multiple bombshell reports from last Friday that kneecapped his already-flailing bid to become the next governor of California.

"I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past," Swalwell said in a statement. "I will fight the serious, false allegations made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make."

Mistake in judgment? His behavior [allegedly] was not a 'mistake,' it was on purpose [allegedly] and an ongoing behavior [allegedly].

"I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong," he continued. "But it's also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress."

Funny, but isn't that exactly what he wanted to happen to Justice Kavanaugh during the hearings for his appointment to SCOTUS?

At least four women have accused Swalwell [aka Swell-well] of sexual misconduct, including a former aide who alleged he raped her when she was intoxicated and could not consent, according to reporting from the Compromised News Network (CNN) and The San Francisco Chronicle.

Swalwell’s abrupt resignation announcement looks like a desperate sprint to the exits, potentially short-circuiting a bipartisan push to expel him from the House that was set to ramp up as early as this week.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, the no-nonsense Florida Republican, was gearing up to introduce a resolution to boot Swalwell on Tuesday and had been pressing House GOP leadership to hold a vote on Wednesday.

Luna called on lawmakers from both parties to set aside "ideological differences" and back her measure alongside a separate expulsion effort targeting embattled Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) led by Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-NM).

"It is our responsibility, according to the Constitution and House rules, to hold one another accountable, especially when it brings dishonor upon the institution," Luna wrote to her House colleagues Tuesday in a letter reviewed by Fox News Digital. "We as Members of Congress need to stand together in publicly condemning this behavior and restore the trust we have lost with the American people."

The Florida Republican had warned over the weekend that she’d draft the expulsion papers if Swalwell didn’t resign by the time lawmakers returned to Washington on Tuesday. Luna’s resolution was on track to pick up serious bipartisan backing.

Even Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), a leading progressive voice, was among the Democrats voicing support for the expulsion drive.

Other Democrats urged Swalwell to step down but stopped short of endorsing Luna’s hard-line resolution.

The Democratic backlash following the San Francisco Chronicle’s gut-wrenching reporting triggered a stampede of Swalwell’s colleagues and longtime allies yanking their endorsements for his now-suspended gubernatorial campaign — including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi herself.

Swalwell bailed on the 2026 primary to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday, despite polling that had him looking like a top-tier contender just days earlier.

Swalwell first entered the House in 2013. Prior to that, he worked as a prosecutor in the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office and served on the Dublin, California, city council starting in 2010.

In Congress, he was a key player in the 2019 impeachment push against President Donald Trump and, before that, helmed investigations into whether Russian meddling actually swung the 2016 election.

Whether this resignation spells the final chapter of Swalwell’s political career remains to be seen.

"I'm outta here"

The Chronicle’s Friday bombshell laid out graphic details from a woman accusing Swalwell of targeting intoxicated women, pressuring staffers into compromising situations, and soliciting explicit images from female contacts.

Whispers of misconduct had started bubbling earlier this month when Cheyenne Hunt, a former Capitol Hill staffer turned political commentator, began sharing testimony from women claiming they were sexually assaulted by the congressman.

"The Democratic candidate currently leading in the California governor’s race has a known history of being predatory towards women," Hunt posted on social media.

Swalwell’s team initially went radio silent before pushing back in comments to the New York Post earlier this week.

"This false, outrageous rumor is being spread 27 days before an election begins by flailing opponents who have sadly teamed up with MAGA conspiracy theorists because they know Eric Swalwell is the frontrunner in this race," spokesperson Micah Beasley said.

Swalwell’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment because to do so would be a political blunder.

After Schumer's attack on Bibi, Ted Cruz tells Dems there's "no home" in that Party

Senate Majority Leader Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer (D-NY) spoke to the Senate floor on Thursday. His goal was to appease anti-Israel voters and in order to do so, he had to relinquish every ounce of moral clarity he may have had.

Schumer called for new elections in Israel, right in the middle of a war they are fighting against Hamas. He ridiculously claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu had "lost his way" and was "an obstacle to peace." The truth is, whoever would be PM of Israel after Hamas attacked them on October 7, 2023, would be doing exactly what Bibi is doing in Israel's existential fight against the terrorists who call for Israel's genocide while pretending that Israel is doing that to the Gazans.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) released an official statement about Schumer's uncalled for and unprecedented remarks. He also called out Schumer in "The Verdict" on Friday--a podcast he and Ben Ferguson co-host. He pointed out how Schumer's speech, in which "he blasted the nation of Israel" was quite "historic." Cruz also wondered why Schumer failed to call out Iran for their role in global terrorism, and the country behind the Hezbollah attacks on the Jewish State.

"Mind you Schumer doesn't do this for enemies of America. He doesn't do this for Russia. He doesn't do this for Iran. He doesn't do this for Hamas. He reserves this hatred for the elected leader of Israel," Cruz said.

Cruz explained that it isn't merely Schumer who is doing this to Israel.

"And sadly, Schumer is the point of the spear. He represents also Democrats across the board who are pivoting away from Israel. This very same week, the Biden administration waived sanctions to effectively give $10 billion to Iran, to the Ayatollah, who pledges death to Israel and death to America, who is funding Hamas, who was behind the October 7 attack. And Joe Biden is prepared to fund those zealots, while Chuck Schumer has decided that the target of his ire should be the elected leader of Israel," Cruz pointed out. "It's truly stunning. And it's dangerous."

Yes, the morons in the Democrat Party are paying billions to the terrorists. What the hell are they thinking?

As anyone with a functioning cortex could predict [which eliminated The Squad and much of the Left], our so-called President Biden thought it was "a good speech." And if anyone knows how to deliver a great speech, it's "Mush-mouth Joe."

In discussing "the backdrop for what Schumer said and why this timing is so significant," Ferguson explained, "I think it has a lot to do with the State of the Union." He added, "[T]here was honestly a part of me that I'm like, I'm not even sure Chuck Schumer believes this," but offered that "maybe he really does, but it was almost like it was a decision made within the Democratic Party."

"Okay, we got to get people younger, and a lot of the radicals in the Democratic Party, the socialists and the Marxists and the communists, they hate Israel, they support Hamas and the Palestinians. They believe that Israel is evil. So let's placate to them I'll go give this speech that I would have never given before, and maybe that'll get them back in, in excitement to vote for us," Ferguson raised as a possibility for why Schumer would go after Bibi and Israel. 

But don't you recall how Schumer gave a different speech last November when he went after anti-Semites on the far-left? He's singing a different tune because politics means more to him than character.

"Is there a possibility that could have been part of what this was about? Just straight up selling out," Ferguson asked Cruz. "Our do you believe he actually believes what he's saying about getting rid of Netanyahu?"

Cruz offered that "I believe he believes what he's saying," adding "the Democrats have hated Netanyahu from the beginning, they despise him." Cruz explained, "Democrats view Netanyahu as the Israeli equivalent of Donald Trump, and they hate him with a comparable fury."

However, there is no doubt in anyone's mind who supports Israel, that no matter who is leading the country, there is nothing much different than that which Bibi has done and will continue to do. This is the one area in which all Israelis come together because it's about their survival.

Schumer has absolutely no business telling Israel what to do where their survival is concerned. Imagine the reaction if Mexico attacked the USA and Canada suggested they stop fighting, and call for a new US President because the one they have is demented. 

The Democrats would have a collective cow.

BREAKING: Cop-beating migrants bagged in Phoenix

Faces blurred to protect their identities in case they flee again

A trio of illegal aliens suspected of beating New York City police officers were arrested in Phoenix, Arizona, Fox News reported Monday night.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said the illegal aliens were caught at a Greyhound bus station in Phoenix but their identities have not been released, perhaps due to a relationship to Alejandro Mayorkas or perhaps Alvin Bragg.

There are no further details about them.

Four migrants involved in the mob beating in New York were believed to be headed to California after the incident.

DEI hire Alvin Bragg

The trio captured are Jhoan Boada, 22; Jandry Barros, 21; and Yohenry Brito, 21. 

Darwin Andres Gomez, 19; Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19; Wilson Juarez, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24, fled for California after being released without bail thanks to progressive New York Democrat policies.

Jhoan Boada, 22; Jandry Barros, 21, and Yohenry Brito, 24, were later apprehended.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a leftist Democrat who would like to keep her job, said at a news conference Friday that she wanted to speak with useless Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg about why most of the suspects were released without bail. 

Hochul said prosecutors should have sought to keep them behind bars, as if that was her moment of brilliance.

"Certainly an assault on a police officer is bail eligible," the Gov. told reporters.

She added: "There are over 100 crimes that also can lead to deportation, and so that is also something I want to have a conversation with the district attorney about – his options here."

Conversations and social workers don't do very much when illegal aliens commit crimes. Actions do.

Ben & Jerry's leftist board demands "Permanent and immediate ceasefire" by Israel

The leftist company that makes a product that contributes to obesity, diabetes and brain freeze, albeit in a tasty way, Ben & Jerry's also believes itself to be the arbiter for wisdom, love and peace. Anuradha Mittal, the company's board chair told the Financial Times that "peace is a core value" of Ben & Jerry's. 

“From Iraq to Ukraine [the company] has consistently stood up for these principles,” Mittal said. “Today is no different as we call for peace and a permanent and immediate ceasefire.”

Mittal is not only an ice cream maven, but is also the founder of the progressive Oakland Institute, where she is described as "an internationally recognized expert on development, human rights, and agriculture." 

The institute discusses such hard-hitting issues such as: "John McEnroe Plays Tennis Match On Serengeti Despite Bloody Conflict Over Beautiful Land." Because somehow he didn't care about those people and played anyway.

As board chair, Mittal is running Ben & Jerry's much the same way as the Oakland Institute--making the ice cream company stand for "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the founders of Ben & Jerry’s, sold the company to Unilever in 2000.

The acquisition agreement allowed the company to retain an independent board of directors tasked with pursuing environmental, social and governance efforts and upholding the company’s brand in order to virtue signal and feel self-important in spite of the fact that the company merely sells ice cream.

Mittal told the Financial Times that Ben & Jerry's is acting independently of its parent company, noting that its board is responsible for its “social mission and essential brand integrity.”

Gee, if companies focused on what they do rather than force-feeding the public their political ideologies, maybe they would produce even better products and services and perhaps the nation would be less divided.

Hamas attacked Israelis on October 7. It was unprovoked and it was the largest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. Over 1,200 Israelis were brutally and sadistically murdered that day, about 240 were taken hostage and many of them have since been killed after being tortured and gang-raped. Children were also killed and Hamas proudly admitted what they had done to the Jews--some called home to brag to their parents about their sick acts--it's recorded. 

Yet there are far-left lunatics in the West who don't believe it happened, or if it did, the Israelis [Jews] deserved it. There are even those conspiracy morons who say it never happened, while others of their lot say it was the IDF who did it to their own people in order to commit genocide of the so called Palestinians.

They don't like it when the Jews fight back. They especially don't like it when the Jews are winning. They want the Jews to stop fighting back because of these reasons, but if they stop, it will only be a matter of time when Hamas repeats their barbaric attacks. They said so and there is every reason to believe them.

Islam is an anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, anti-atheist, anti-all-non-Muslims religion, when taken literally. Let's see what Islamic scripture has to say--it's long but worth the reading:

The Quran divides humanity into believer’s caste (Muslims) and unbeliever’s caste (non- Muslims). (49.10, 48.29)
The Quran God hates non-Muslims (30.45, 60.4)
The Quran is against having Jews and Christians as friends, they are considered wrong doers (5.51)
The Quran God orders human sacrifices (killing humans to please God). (9.111)
The Quran calls Jews and Christians, the worst of creatures. (98.6)
The Quran is intolerant of other religions. (3.85, 3.19, 8.39, 48.28, 9.29)
The Quran orders Muslims who leave Islam to be killed. (4.89)
The Quran God instills terror into the hearts of non-Muslims and orders cutting their necks and fingers. (8.12)
Gabriel (the transmitter of the Quran) states that Muslims who rape and steal will enter paradise, and those who are not Muslims will enter the hell fire.
The Quran God wants the Muslims to rule the earth. (24.55)
The Quran God uses fear to get followers. (5.44)
The Quran orders slavery. (16.75)
The Quran orders females to be taken captive and raped. (33.26, 33.50, 33.53, Sahih-al-Bukhari 7409, 2893, Sahih Muslim 1438a, 145d)
The Quran orders prisoners of war to be slaughtered. (8.67)
The Quran orders looting. (8.69, 33.27)
The Quran orders women to be beaten. (4.34, Sunan Abu Dawud 2147)
Based on the Quran God, the Prophet is the best human being. (33.21, 68.4)

The Actions and Teachings of Mohammad from the Hadith: 

Mohammad approved of child marriages with adults. He himself married a 6-year-old child when he was 51 and he started sleeping with her when she was 9 and he was 54. (Sahih-al-Bukhari 5133, 6130, 5217, 3894)
Mohammad married his adopted son’s wife. (33.37)
The Prophet [Mohammad] ordered Muslims who leave Islam to be killed. (Sahih al-Bukhari 3017)
The day of judgment is already gone. The Prophet said the majority of the dwellers of the hell fire were women. (Sahih-al-Bukhari 1462)
The Prophet took females captive and "enjoyed" them. (Sahih-al-Bukhari 4.52.143, Tabari IX 137, Muslim 4345)
The Prophet ordered rape. (Sahih-al-Bukhari 7409, Muslim 1438a)
The Prophet kept slaves. (Sahih-al-Bukhari 7263, 6161, 5191)
The Prophet ordered beheading surrendered men and he himself beheaded some of them. (Sahih-al-Bukhari 4.52.280)
Ethnic cleansing. The Prophet said he will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim. (Muslim 4366)
The Prophet ordered women to be stoned to death. (Sahih-al-Bukhari 6827, Muslim 1696a)
The Prophet ordered male circumcision and female genital mutilation. (Sahih-al-Bukhari 6297, Muslim 349)
Divine inspirations came to the Prophet only when he was in bed with the child wife Aisha. (Sahih-al-Bukhari 2581)

There, I said it. Islamic scripture is very clear with anti-Semitism. Israel has no choice in the matter if they want to stop the future slaughter of their people. So kindly shut the hell up, Ms. Mittal and stick to ice cream.

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.

Chicago Mayor-elect makes excuses for rampaging youths as the city circles the bowl

Chicago's Democrat Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson couldn't get an entire first paragraph out about the teen takeover riots that terrorized the Windy City, destroying property, and wrecking violence as hundreds of youths descended upon the downtown area for two consecutive nights, without making excuses for their wild behavior.

On one side of his mouth, Johnson condemned the rioting, and on the other side said that condemning them is "not constructive." But he doesn't offer any alternative and condemning them following up with consequences for their violence and destruction, seems like it might make them, or other young people, think before they rampage. 

Attacking innocent bystanders, destroying property, firing guns in the streets should be vilified, should have consequences.

Two teenage males, 16 and 17, were shot while hanging out in a crowd during the rioting on Saturday night. They were taken to the hospital and listed in fair condition.

Hundreds of teens smashed cars, fought in the streets and blocked traffic. Johnson responded to the rioting in a statement Sunday:

"In no way do I condone the destructive activity we saw in the Loop and lakefront this weekend. It is unacceptable and has no place in our city. However, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities. 

"Our city must work together to create spaces for youth to gather safely and responsibly, under adult guidance and supervision, to ensure that every part of our city remains welcome for both residents and visitors."

Chicago police arrested nine adults and six juveniles in connection with the rampage, which was advertised on social media. A 16-year-old boy was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, while two other suspects were charged with possession of a stolen vehicle. Most of the other arrests were for reckless conduct.

Current Mayor and loser in the recent election, Lori Lightfoot, condemned the "reckless, disrespectful and unlawful behavior" on display over the weekend. She blamed the parents but, like Johnson, had no solutions other than to point fingers.

"As I have said before, we as a city cannot and will not allow any of our public spaces to become a platform for criminal conduct," Lightfoot said in a statement. "Most importantly, parents and guardians must know where their children are and be responsible for their actions. Instilling the important values of respect for people and property must begin at home."

But they, as a city, allowed their public spaces to become a platform for criminal conduct. So what the hell is she talking about? What is the city going to do about it? Blame parents, when the real problem isn't the one parent raising these kids, it's the lack of fathers in the home, the disrespect the left constantly displays for law enforcement and even the law itself?

Johnson has caught backlash from the centrist wing of the Democratic Party during the mayoral run over his history of support for defunding the police by giving funds earmarked for them to other social services. Just another position he had to walk back until now.

Johnson had proposed to fund social workers, not cops, in 2020, calling it an "actual, real political goal." But when he ran for mayor, he changed his tune and walked it back with what sounded like a Kamala Harris excuse for lying in a debate ["It was a debate, hahahaha. It was a hahahaha, debate."] Johnson said, "I said it was a political goal. I never said it was mine." 

In other words, political goals are simply goals to get elected and don't need to represent what you're really going to do.

Johnson also wants to raise taxes on financial transactions, and increase large company head tax from $1 to $4 per company employee, and raise $98 million in jet fuel tax. All this in order to provide all kinds of services to illegal aliens and even allow them to vote in school board elections. 

What is also very important to him is to protect the right to kill the unborn and punish those who misgender people disguised as members of their opposite sex.

So don't expect much of a difference between Lori Lightfoot and Brandon Johnson when it comes to crime and leftist values.

Rahida Tlaib cannot hide her anti-Semitism

"I'll get you, my pretty."

Leftist Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) made the outrageously anti-Semitic comment this week about Democrats. She said that they could not be considered "progressive" if they supported Israel's government.

Tlaib, born in Detroit to a Palestinian working-class family, is an overt Jew-hating anti-Zionist [but I repeat myself] with an extensive history of anti-Semitism. The creep has spoken at events where far-left activists have called for the elimination of Israel.

Last Tuesday, Tlaib spoke at a seminar held by Americans for Justice in Palestine Action (AJP Action) which was co-sponsored by American Muslims for Palestine (AMP).  “I want you all to know that among progressives, it has become clear that you cannot claim to hold progressive values, yet back Israel’s apartheid government,” she said, implying that in order to be considered "progressive," you must call for the destruction of Israel. [H/T Daily Wire]

“We will continue to push back and not accept this idea that you are progressive, except for ‘Philistine,’ any longer,” the hateful Tlaib continued.

RNC Research tweeted:

Democrat Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib says the quiet part out loud about today's Democrat Party: "You cannot claim to hold progressive values yet back Israel's 'apartheid' government." pic.twitter.com/MrPo0gLoev

Tlaib is so disgustingly outrageous that even many leftists and activists, such as ADL Jonathan Greenblatt condemned her for her remarks. He tweeted:

“In one sentence, Tlaib simultaneously tells American Jews that they need to pass an anti-Zionist litmus test to participate in progressive spaces, even as she doubles down on her antisemitism by slandering Israel as an apartheid state. It’s absolutely reprehensible and does nothing to advance the cause of peace. We call on people of goodwill and leaders across the political spectrum to make clear that such antisemitism will not be tolerated.”

But it isn't as if Tlaib is the only leftist to harbor such strong anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist sentiments.  Her "Squad" sisters, Reps' Ilhan Omar, AOC, and Ayanna Pressley, for example, have all spewed their anti-Zionist views.

The Anti-Semite Twins

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) tweeted: 

“I fundamentally reject the notion that one cannot support Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state and be a progressive. … I would happily put my progressive record and credentials up against anyone’s. It is both wrong and self-defeating for progressive leaders to abide such an offensive litmus tests.”

“That’s right, Chairman Nadler,” Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) tweeted. “And remember, there are progressive activists, progressive students, and progressive Members of Congress whose support of democratic Israel is fundamentally a part of their progressive values. They all belong at the table. We will not be silenced.”

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) tweeted: “There’s nothing progressive about advocating for the end of Israel as a Jewish State. Nothing progressive about opposing the Abraham Accords, which promotes peace. Nothing progressive about opposing Iron Dome, which protects civilians from indiscriminate rocket fire.”

“The outrageous progressive litmus test on Israel by @RashidaTlaib is nothing short of antisemitic,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) tweeted. “Proud progressives do support Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state. Suggesting otherwise is shameful and dangerous. Divisive rhetoric does not lead to peace.”

It's amazing that Democrats have done nothing about these anti-Semitic clowns in their party, but some were skeptical. Pradheep J. Shanker, a physician tweeted:  “Unless you punish such antisemitism, its [sic] all talk. So, you have a chance to be better. Punish the anti-semites in your party, Take the high road. DO BETTER.”

Writer Peter Roff tweeted: “Why don’t you move to kick her off her committees like you all did to a Republican for similar reasons?”

Biden senior adviser leaving for DNC after correctly calling Squad "f***ing idiots"

Senior PINO Biden adviser Cedric Richmond is among the first of the White House staff to be abandoning ship before the midterm elections. He will be working for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) next month and will no longer need to carry a drool cloth with him when he's with the President.

Richmond served as director of the White House Office of Public Engagement [a parallel position to the Clinton administration's director of White House Office of Pubic Engagement] and is also a senior adviser to Biden. He will now take an advisory role at the media-supported DNC beginning in May.

[H/T Fox News]

"I am thrilled that the President has entrusted me with helping boost the robust work already being done at the DNC to make sure that Democrats grow their majorities in the House and Senate, and increase the number of Democratic governors in state capitals around the country," Richmond said Tuesday in a statement.

It was just yesterday that reports emerged in which he correctly analyzed Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Comatose (D-NY) along with her fellow "squad" clique, as "fu*king idiots" after the 2020 election.

This factoid was reported by NY Times' Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin in their new ballbuster book about the 2020 election, which should be released next week. According to the book, Richmond was the highest ranking member in the administration to criticize AOC and her cretinous Squadettes of the progressive wing of the party.

Richmond, a former Democratic Rep. from Louisiana was reportedly on a phone call with a party ally when he made the "fu*king idiots" remark. But he was being kind because he did not mention that they were all anti-Semites too and hated our ally Israel.

Latino, Latina, Latinx: Hispanics ready to kick a word into the woke trash bin

It isn't about the minorities the left claims they want to help; it's about the left feeling good about themselves in spite of how minorities [aka the victim class according to the left] feel about the "help" they didn't ask for and generally don't need. 

Native Americans [not including Elizabeth Warren] never voiced a negative reaction to sports teams that with names that referred to them such as the Washington Redskins or the Cleveland Indians, for example. It only became an issue when woke White leftists brought it up as if it was a racist term, and then some Native Americans suddenly saw it as such, because 25 percent of any group of people are boobs with no exceptions. 

For the left, racism is their Swiss Army knife, Kurt Schlichter and others have said.

Rather than going against the woke flow, the Washington Redskins eventually became the Washington Football Team [what creativity] and the Cleveland Indians became the Cleveland Guardians. As a basehall team, one has to wonder just what it is they are guarding--their balls? Their bats?

So while some groups caved to the demands of white woke supremacists who got their demands fulfilled, several Latino organizations are now demanding to effectively cancel the use of the bull crap term "Latinx" in official documents etc., because it isn't a word as far as the people it pretends to refer to see it.

Virtually no one in the Latino community cares a fig for the pretentious 'gender-neutral' term. Spanish, like many other languages, use gender-specific terms and it's insulting for elite progressives to change it and elected officials, and the oldest Latino civil rights organizations in America, and the Miami Herald has spoken out against the term to describe people of Spanish-speaking origin.

The results of their anger is being seen in the way Latino voters have moved away from the Democratic Party, which is a deep matter of concern as their voting block grows much larger. It shows how Latinos want to self-define rather than have outsiders define them. 

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’ campaign arm, announced last month his congressional staff is not to use “Latinx” in official communications.

Days after Gallego’s tweet, Domingo García, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, instructed staff and board members to drop the word “Latinx” from the group’s official communications, NBC Latino’s Suzanne Gamboa reported.

The Miami Herald, a left-leaning tabloid, wrote in an editorial last month that liberals needed to stop using the term primarily because it wasn’t popular with Latinos, but more importantly, that it helped the GOP make inroads with the Latino community, especially in Florida, a critical battleground state.

The Latino community is finally beginning to see that Democrats would rather be "woke" than be concerned about them.

Leftist suggests people who act irresponsibly should be treated last in hospitals

Dave Frum, a progressive writer for a progressive magazine believes progress would be made if hospitals and doctors simply refuse to treat people who act irresponsibly with their health. In fact, if they don't "make it" that would relieve hospitals of the burden of having to treat these irresponsible people, and this would assure that progressives would eventually run the country and make progressive progress, socialistically speaking.

Included in Frum's suggestion would obviously be people who are obese and suffer medically from associated illness such as diabetes, heart disease and possibly even cancer. 

In addition, smokers and drug abusers should have to wait in line while the rest of us get the treatment we've earned by not smoking or drugging. If they get cancer or overdose, they'll have to wait until a doctor is available, and even then, the doctor should have the right to refuse to treat the miscreant if he or she feels the person is a waste to society. [Note the operant word is feel. If the physician had to know for a fact that the person was a waste to society, that would require an in-depth inquiry that would be impractical.]

Finally, all people, including children over the age of birth, who, for any reason whatsoever, refuse to get two vaccines, a booster shot, wear two masks while driving and three all other times, and a COVID screening test before entering a public establishment, should be denied all medical intervention until they fulfill their government obligation.

So, if you're shot in the streets of Chicago, or New York City, or Detroit,  Los Angeles or any progressive-run city and you've made it to the hospital but you don't have your Covid shot, hold the wound tightly and just be patient. Help may or may not be on the way.

Alexandria Obviously-Communist and her Dems silent on TN candidate Odessa Kelly's violent rhetoric

It isn't a great look when Alexandria Obviously-Communist and her minions avoid plugging for you when you're running for a seat on their side of the aisle. Justice Democrats and others in Congress linked to that group are mum about Odessa Kelly, a violence advocate progressive congressional candidate with damning social media posts that include calls for violence against Republican lawmakers.

Brain Flushings' Harmon Glunk along with Fox News reached out to AOC (NY) and her Democratic socialist pals--Rashida Tlaib (MI),  Ilhan Omar (MN), and Ayanna Pressley (MA), but they wouldn't return our calls for a civil discussion about the woman who would destroy Trump and his supporters. Perhaps they're embarrassed.

The execrable Kelly is staging a primary challenge against Rep. Jim Cooper (D-TN). She went on Facebook the day of Biden's inauguration where she posted suggestions Biden take the first 100 days in office.

Along with the normal Democratic wish list for stimulus checks and packing the Supreme Court with socialists without morals, she also attacked GOP leaders.

On the list were suggestions Kelly specifically claimed were in jest:  "Day 4: Blow Up Maralago," referring to Trump's Florida resort and residence which she misspelled. "Day 5: Disappear Mitch to some secret CIA prison."

"Day 9: Allow Pelosi to hire the best pimp that Memphis or Detroit has to offer to Smack tha [emoji] outta Ted Cruz and the rest uv’em...(y’all know the ones)!" she disgustingly wrote in the manner of a 12-year-old wannabe rapper.

Kelly's Facebook past revealed how in 2012 she was attending a hate-speech given by the scumbag anti-Semite head of the Nation of Islam Louis Farrakhan and also posted in May 2020: "If you vote for Trump, YOU ARE A RACIST!" 

But if you vote for her, YOU ARE AN ANTI-SEMITE RACIST!"

Justice Democrats spokes schmuckette Alexandra Rojas praised Kelly on Tuesday after she launched her campaign.

"As someone who has spent her life as a public servant and a community organizer, @OdessaKellyTN is exactly the kind of Democrat we need in Congress," Rojas tweeted.

Anyone who praises Louis Farrakhan is not a public servant but serves only a specific segment of the public, particularly the parts that are divided by race, religion and other immutable human characteristics.

And a community organizer is someone who organizes a community to demand free stuff from the government while telling the people how much the government sucks.

Buttigieg's police may quit the South Bend force

"What, me worry?"

Indiana -- South Bend Mayor and 2020 Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg, who frequently uses the Lord's name in vain and is married to a dude, may have raised a lot of money for his campaign, but all that's being raised in his hometown is hell, and not in a fun way.

It's over an officer-involved shooting by a white cop, Ryan O'Neill, and a black victim, Eric Logan, and it doesn't look like it's going to soon be assuaged.

Buttigieg is being loudly criticized from both protestors and his police department. The police say his handling has crushed morale and risks a “mass exodus” from the force.

“Morale around here has been terrible. We do nothing,”  a 20-year veteran of the force, told Fox News. “We call ourselves firemen, we sit around in parking lots until we’re called and then we go to the call, because if you say or do something wrong, then you get hung.” Of course, they are police officers, not firemen.

“At an all-time low,” another officer said of morale. “It’s been really demoralizing and hard to come to work lately.”

Officers requested not to be identified for this story in fear of retaliation by the mayor's administration and possibly MSNBC. But they told Fox News that they know of multiple officers who are considering handing in their badges or taking retirement if eligible, in response to the mayor’s handling of the shooting.

They say that, but will they really do it?

“That's the big discussion ... is who's staying and who's going. I think you’re going to see a mass exodus, our administration is a joke,” one cop said, referring especially to Buttigieg, who looks remarkably like famed cartoon figure for Mad Magazine, Alfred E. Neuman [see photo above].

South Bend Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) President Harvey Mills told Fox News that he has spoken to five or six officers who are “seriously” considering retiring or resigning because of the administration’s handling of the shooting. One officer told Fox News that he believes as many as 10 people will quit in the next year, and said he has also considered stepping away.

“It’s very discouraging that something I’ve always wanted to do, that God called me to do, that I’m questioning that and wondering, thinking about not being a police officer strictly because of politics and things that are going on that are completely out of my control,” he said.

Buttigieg has long had a strained relationship with the officers in South Bend, but that relationship has deteriorated considerably since the shooting of Logan.

According to investigators, O’Neill was called to a report of someone breaking into cars and encountered Logan O’Neill, who was allegedly carrying a knife. According to authorities, O'Neill shot Logan after he approached him with the knife and ignored repeated demands to drop it, the South Bend Tribune reported.

But O’Neill’s body camera was not on to confirm his account, and skeptics of the department's account have blasted city officials, fueling a firestorm that repeatedly has pulled Buttigieg off the trail to deal with the crisis back home. The reason his body cam was off may have been due to the swiftness O'Neill had to use in thwarting a knife attack, but that has not been determined as yet.

O’Neill resigned last week, with the FOP saying in a statement that “job related stress, the lawsuit, national media attention, and hateful things said on social media have been difficult for O’Neill and his young family.”

Buttigieg has falsely claimed that he hasn't taken sides, but amid angry protests back home, he has not challenged the narrative that the shooting is connected to police racism because votes are more important to him than integrity.

At an NBC News presidential primary debate this month, Buttigieg described the shooting as “a black man ...killed by a white officer” and said he “could walk through all of the steps we took, from bias training to de-escalation, but it didn’t save the life of Eric Logan. And when I look into his mother’s eyes, I have to face that fact and nothing that I say will bring him back.”

“Until we move policing out from the shadow of systemic racism, whatever this particular incident teaches us, we will be left with the bigger problem of the fact that there is a wall of mistrust, put up one racist act at a time, not just what’s happened in the past, but from what’s happening around the country in the present,” he said, [my italics].

Buttigieg has also come under fire with naughty words and anger from black residents who think he has not done enough to reform the police department and was pelted with criticism from angry South Bend residents last month.

But it was the repeated inappropriate references to the "shadow" of racism in law enforcement (saying in June that "all police work and all of American life takes place in the shadow of racism") that particularly pissed off the cops.

To progressives, white bread or owning a dog is racist if you're white.

Ralph Northam wants stronger gun control, more infanticide

The following is satire . . . but it's based on facts . . . disturbing facts.

Virginia Gov Ralph "Kill 'em While They're Young" Northam (D), is now pushing far-Left gun control regulations in response to the Virginia Beach shootings.

Northam, a covert racist whose college graduation photo page featured two men, one in black face, the other in Ku Klux Klan garb, is perfectly fine with killing a person after he or she is born, but doesn't go along with killing a person with a firearm after he or she is born.

Northam supports extremely late-term abortions and endorsed infanticide earlier this year in order to support the plight of deadbeat biological fathers who impregnate women and don't want to deal with the moral responsibility they incur.

Northam ironically said that if his extreme measures "can save one life," then "it is worth it, except in cases of abortion. Then it's up to the mom and her doctor as long as they make the baby comfortable before deciding whether or not to kill it."

Northam tried to mask his gun-control agenda by referring to it as "common sense" public safety laws. "We make the gun owner feel comfortable and safe and when he's not looking, we quietly enter his house and take his lethal collection of firearms."

Northam called for banning semi-automatic firearms, referring to them as "assault weapons," and also called for the banning of suppressors, describing them as "covert assassin devices used by them Mafia Eyetalions in the movies."

Northam's call for red flag laws  unconstitutionally allows law enforcement to confiscate firearms from Americans without them first being given their right to due process. He also denies due process to infants because they cannot speak and he says that one cannot know whether they are willing to be killed.

The jackboot governor also called for limiting the number of firearms a person can purchase to one per month and the number of ammunition rounds to one round per year.

 Regarding abortion Northam said:

"This is why decisions such as this should be made by providers, physicians, and the mothers and fathers that are involved. When we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of the mother, with the consent of physicians, more than one physician by the way, and it’s done in cases where there may be severe deformities, there may be a fetus which is non-viable. So in this particular example, if the mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen, the infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if this is what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physician and the mother."

Gov. Ralph Northam is an evil piece of human garbage, but as a Democrat, he's merely a progressive who believes in women's rights, unless they happen to be very young.

ICE will now empower local cops to act on their behalf

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced a new program on Monday that will allow local law enforcement to enforce immigration detainer requests in spite of their being prohibited from cooperating with ICE due to Democratic state and local policies that conflict with the U.S. Constitution.

The new program, known as the Warrant Service Officer (WSO) program, allows local jurisdictions that join the program to "be temporarily exempted from any local or state rules preventing them from cooperating in immigration arrests or detention, and allow them to execute arrest warrants issued by ICE," according to The Hill.

"Once a WSO officer serves an administrative warrant and executes an arrest on behalf of ICE, the agency has 48 hours to conduct a transfer of custody unless an Intergovernmental Service Agreement exists," ICE said in a statement. "If ICE does not take the alien into custody within 48 hours, the individual must be released. WSO officers will only make arrests within the confines of the jail at which they work, and ICE will still issue immigration detainers with partner jurisdictions."

"The WSO derives its authority from section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, but unlike the 287(g) program, WSO officers will not question individuals about their citizenship, alienage or removability, nor will they process aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States," the agency explained. "The new procedure was prompted by requests from the National Sheriffs’ Association and the Major County Sheriffs of America, which asked for a program limited in scope that would allow jurisdictions prohibited from honoring immigration detainers to cooperate with ICE."

The local jurisdictions that sign up for the program will nominate officers to receive WSO training and those candidates will have to undergo a background investigation from ICE.

Leftists, who were hoping to snatch the illegal alien vote, are as angry as a bag of scorpions.

"For some jurisdictions restricted by local policies that prohibit the recognition of immigration detainers, the WSO program would be the most appropriate initiative that allows for enhanced cooperation with ICE," ICE added.

National Sheriffs' Association Executive Director Jonathan Thompson said:

"This program gives sheriffs the legal support to help federal law enforcement keep dangerous criminal illegal aliens out of their communities. It will not only decrease sheriff's liability but will give them the proper training to enforce the law."

Democrats don't care--a vote is a vote, as far as they're concerned.

Acting ICE Director Matthew Albence said:

"Policies that limit cooperation with ICE undermine public safety, prevent the agency from executing its federally mandated mission and increase the risks for officers forced to make at-large arrests in unsecure locations. The WSO program will protect communities from criminal aliens who threaten vulnerable populations with violence, drugs and gang activity by allowing partner jurisdictions the flexibility to make immigration arrests in their jail or correctional facility."

Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said:

"People in our country illegally who commit crimes must not be released back into our communities where they harm others. The Warrant Service Officer program allows sheriffs to lawfully help ICE keep criminal illegal aliens in jail and off the street by serving ICE arrest warrants. The WSO program helps enforce the rule of law and keeps our communities safe."

The move comes as President Trump has made multiple changes in his administration in order to adhere to our laws and maintain our sovereignty as a nation. This is in contrast to Democrats in Congress who have shown no signs of being willing to cooperate with the administration to secure the southern border.

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.
