China’s Candidate
John and Scott have done a fine job exposing Tim Walz as a tyrant, poseur, snitch, and overall terrible governor. Steve thinks Walz is worse than California Gov. Gavin Newsom, but there’s more to it. As Daniel Greenfield notes, Walz is also a big fan of China: Gov. Tim Walz was the highest ranking elected official with the broadest ties to China. And so it surprised no one when the »
From Moscow to Beijing
On June 3-4, 1989 China’s Communist regime unleashed massive military force against pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square, killing hundreds, possibly thousands. The massacre made it clear what China’s murderous regime was all about, but the USA rewarded China with most favored nation status and World Trade Organization membership. This was supposed to make the PRC respect human rights, but it didn’t. The Communist regime strip-mined the USA of intellectual property »
Got Milk?
Two days after Audrey Hale’s mass murder in Nashville last year, Joe Biden proclaimed March 31 “Transgender Day of Visibility,” as he did again this year, taking no note that the date fell on Easter. As Steve noted, “it is not as though there aren’t enough official opportunities to recognize the alphabet people.” For example, in April we have International Asexuality Day, International Day of Pink, the Day of Silence, »
Revenge of Poontronage
The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the Democratic ticket, Biden can’t fire her. He can’t risk alienating his base. Full stop. That was Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker, in a March 15 piece headlined “For the Country’s Sake, Vice President Harris Should Step Aside,” a move »
Loose Ends (246)
• Reminder that once upon a time leading Democrats opposed illegal immigration and called for stronger border enforcement: Chaser—Once upon a time Democrats also understood that a surge of illegal immigrant depressed wages for unskilled labor. A reminder from Democrat economist and Obama alum Jared Bernstein: One thing we learned in the 1990s was that a surefire way to reconnect the fortunes of working people at all skill levels, immigrant »
Californiachukuo
By a unanimous vote, the San Francisco supervisors have made Kelly Wong a member of the San Francisco Elections Commission. The Chinese national is the first non- U.S. citizen to hold the post, and under U.S. law she is not allowed to vote. Wong’s priority is to ensure that voter materials are translated in a way that people can understand, work she already performs as an “immigrant rights advocate” at »
Schiff for Brains?
Anyone who follows California politics will know that California adopted a “jungle” primary system some time ago, in which all candidates for an office in the spring primary run on a single ballot line, with the top two finishers advancing to the November general election. The Republican Party has fallen so low in California in recent years that several U.S. Senate races have come down to two Democrats in November. »
Gavin Biden/Joe Newsom
On his recent trip to China, California Gov. Gavin Newsom got into a pick-up basketball game and knocked over a Chinese student about half his size. In his own frequent falls, Joe Biden has yet to take down a bystander, but the two men have more in common than people might think. Consider, for example, their troubles with reading and writing. “For years, Newsom has been very open about the »
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. . . »
