Gavin Trudeau
“The only way we can solve the climate crisis is to continue our long-standing cooperation with China,” proclaimed Gavin Newsom during his trip to China. For the California governor, collaboration with one of the world’s leading polluters, a one-party Stalinist police state, is the “only way” to solve a “crisis” that is an existential problem. Gov. Newsom allegedly raised human-rights issues but failed to call for China to release David »
It Has To Be Su
Julie Su, Joe Biden’s pick for Labor Secretary, can avoid Senate confirmation and keep running the Labor Department. This is due to a September 21 ruling by Edda Emmanuelli Perez, general counsel of the General Accountability Office (GAO). “As the Deputy Secretary of Labor, Ms. Su may serve as Acting Secretary under section 552 until a successor is appointed,” Emmanuelli Perez ruled. “The Vacancies Act’s time limitations do not apply »
The compleat Democrat
You can see why California Governor Gavin Newsom had to go beyond California to find a fitting replacement for the late Dianne Feinstein in the United States Senate. He put a lot of thought into it. He conducted an extensive search. Before Feinstein’s body was cold, Newsom was ready with his announcement. He had found the compleat Democrat: Laphonza Butler of Silver Spring, Maryland. It’s almost funny. But consider, to »
Newsom jumps the shark
California Governor Gavin Newsom promised to appoint a black woman to replace the late Dianne Feinstein in the Senate, so you know this is a man who has his priorities in order. Politico reveals that Newsom will appoint Laphonza Butler to fill Feinstein’s seat. Butler apparently does not reside in California — Politico reports that she is registered to vote in Maryland. However, Butler owns a home in California. When »
China’s Doll Departs
Sen. Dianne Feinstein has departed this life at the age of 90. The California Democrat can be remembered in several ways, especially as the American politician most faithful to the People’s Republic of China. In April of 2020, Missouri attorney general Eric Schmitt filed a lawsuit charging that Chinese Communist officials are “responsible for the enormous death, suffering, and economic losses they inflicted on the world, including Missourians.” For Sen. »
Thoughts from the ammo line
Speaking of Slow Joe Biden, Ammo Grrrll declares he is NOT EVEN CLOSE….She writes: Our shambling, rambling, pathologically lying, senile kleptocrat of an occupant of the White House (a/k/a The Big Guy), said a couple of weeks ago that Climate Change is scarier than nuclear war. No joke, man! I disagree, and I regret, not all that respectfully. And I submit my case as follows: THINGS THAT ARE SCARIER THAN »
Podcast: The 3WHH on Saving Our Gerontocracy!
Never mind saving “our democracy”—who’s going to save our gerontocracy! With Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden in a contest for Greatest Brain Freeze Moment, while Dianne Feinstein and John Fetterman look on with envy, we are starting to long for the good old days of the youthful vigor of the Soviet Politburo. Is it time for age limits for high federal office (though Sen. Chuck Grassley, still firing on all »
The Week in Pictures: Geezer Edition
Mitch McConnell, Dianne Feinstein, Joe Biden, and John Fetterman are making me pine for the youthful vigor of the old Soviet Politburo. But rather than age limits, I think we ought to do IQ tests, which would rule out Biden immediately. Hero of the week: Headlines of the week: And finally. . . »
¿Quien esta mas impedido?
The Washington Free Beacon has compiled the video below contrasting the media treatment of John Fetterman’s stroke-related brain damage with Mitch McConnell’s something-related “freeze” (related story here). ¿Quien esta mas impedido? John Fetterman’s stroke-related disability appears to be a credit to the human spirit and to the United States Senate, formerly known as the world’s most exclusive club. By contrast, McConnell’s most recent “freeze” gets an unsympathetic, i.e., realistic treatment, »
Biden v. Fetterman
It is hard to break the tie for incoherence between Joe Biden and John Fetterman. In addition to invoking the deity to save the queen, Biden also mangled guns again: BIDEN: "Made it harder for people buy stabilized brief— braces. Put a pistol on a brace, it turns into a gun, makes it more, you can have a higher-caliber weapon, higher-caliber bullet coming out of that gun." 🤔 pic.twitter.com/97si7QLrr8 — »
The Week in Pictures: Senile Liberalism Edition
Come of think of it, Biden, Feinstein, and Fetterman are the perfect exemplars of senescent leftism today, and as such the ideal leaders of today’s Democratic Party. No wonder they’ve become the party of transgenderism, since their socialist wish-fulfillment fantasies aren’t working out very well. Headlines of the week: And finally. . . Tina Turner, RIP: »
Senate Democrats, Not Exactly Firing on All Cylinders
Dianne Feinstein is back in the Senate, but to hear her tell it, she was never away from it: Dianne Feinstein claimed she hasn’t ‘been gone’ when asked about her lengthy absence from the Senate: ‘No, I’ve been here. I’ve been voting’ Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California insisted that she had not been absent from the Senate when asked about it by reporters on Tuesday, according to Slate and »
Fetterman Returns—Oh, Snap
John Fetterman is back at the Senate. Here he is arriving yesterday: A lot of people have made much of this next picture, suggesting there’s a body double. But in fact the photo on the right was taken before Fetterman’s stroke last year. Decide for yourself. In the meantime, Fetterman presided over a hearing today about reauthorizing the SNAP program, the successor to Food Stamps. See if you think he’s »
Podcast: No Leaking at the 3WHH
Lucretia hosts the bar this week, as John and I extol the virtues of Japanese whisky while trolling the left for its latest futile attempt to take down Justice Clarence Thomas. Lucretia celebrates a brew pub in Arizona that stood up to the braying mob that resents real beer drinkers who like the Federalist Society, which deserves to go with a lighter highland malt. And in our “This Week in »
We Interrupt the ‘Dump Kamala’ Campaign To Bring You This Message
We periodically note the bursts of “news” stories in the mainstream media, always based on anonymous sources inside or “close” to the White House, dumping on Vice President Kamala Harris. These stories are very likely being instigated by people “close” to Biden—perhaps with his active approval—hoping to get her off the 2024 ticket. I expect the next burst of such stories to appear shortly before Biden formally announces his candidacy »
The Biskupic omission
The calculated barrage of lies directed at Judge Brett Kavanaugh in his 2018 Supreme Court confirmation hearing should never be forgotten. The Democrats did everything but physically assassinate Justice Kavanaugh as they assassinated his good name. Complicit in the assault were the Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee including Dianne Feinstein, Patrick J. Leahy, Richard J. Durbin, Sheldon Whitehouse — who could forget Sherlock Sheldon? — Minnesota’s own Amy »
