New ‘Progressive’ Idea: ‘Abolish The Police’
by Shifra on December 29, 2019Could someone please explain why they are called progressives ? Their dangerous ideas are anything but progressive. And this one is really regressive; it would lead us back to the Stone Age. Or worse. Via American Thinker. Some progressive ideas sound good and seduce the young and naïve with their idealism…. But some other ideas, currently being taken seriously by American progressive intellectuals are so self-evidently ridiculous that it is hard to believe that anyone could take them seriously. But this, via City Journal, is not a joke: The latest call to action from some criminal-justice activists: “Abolish the police.” From the streets of Chicago to the city council of Seattle, and in the pages of academic journals ranging from...

Dem Debate Draws Lowest Viewership Yet
by Shifra on December 22, 2019ICYMI, here is a recap: Orange Man Bad, blah blah, higher taxes, blah, blah, wine cave, blah blah, climate change existential threat, blah blah, millionaires-billionaires, blah blah. Via Variety. Last night’s Democratic debate, which inevitably dealt with the recent impeachment of President Donald Trump, drew just over 6 million total viewers for PBS and Politico, according to Nielsen figures. Topics such as the economy, climate change, racism, Afghanistan, and taxing the wealthy were also on the agenda. That total, which counts the PBS broadcast and the simulcast on CNN and CNN en Español, makes it the least watched debate so far in the current cycle, only just behind the previous MSNBC debate which drew 6.5 million. Last night’s squaring off...

Pelosi’s ‘Cure’ For Healing Nation’s Division: ‘Enjoy Music Together,’ See A Play, A Movie
by Shifra on December 13, 2019Memo to Nancy: We are watching a movie, it’s called ‘Nightmare on Elm St.’… er, ‘Nightmare on Capitol Hill.’ Via CNS News. On the same day she asked House Democrats to write articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took part in a CNN town hall that focused on her momentous and controversial decision. A student who identified himself as a registered Republican asked Pelosi Thursday night how she plans to unify the nation, as one side demands impeachment and the other side calls it a witch hunt. “I myself think that one of the ways that America will heal is through the arts,” Pelosi answered. “I truly believe that that’s something where we find...

Performance Artist Eats ‘Banana Duct-Taped To Wall’ Artwork That Sold For $120K
by Shifra on December 8, 2019As if this story was not bizarre enough: Several days ago, artist Maurizio Cattelan (who also constructed the six million dollar golden toilet stolen from Winston Churchill’s family home) duct-taped a banana to a gallery wall at Art Basel Miami, and the “work of art” was sold for $120,000. And now, this: Via Miami Herald. ….By now you have probably heard of the now world-famous banana duct-taped to Emmanuel Perrotin’s outer gallery wall at Art Basel Miami Beach. The piece that sold to an art collector for $120,000. The $120,000 banana — a real, rather ripe and edible one — is the work of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and titled “Comedian.” The work comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, and...

Pelosi Snaps At Reporter: “Don’t Mess With Me!”
by Shifra on December 5, 2019Uh oh, looks like Nancy ‘heartbroken, prayerful’ Pelosi was not in such a ‘somber’ mood when, after calling for articles of impeachment against President Trump, journalist James Rosen asked a perfectly legitimate question. Nancy says she prays for the president “all the time.” We pray for you, too, Nancy…to retire and just go away. Via The Hill. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday lashed out at a Capitol Hill reporter who had questioned whether she “hated” President Trump following her decision to advance the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry. “I don’t hate anybody. I was raised in a Catholic house, we don’t hate anybody — not anybody in the world. So don’t you accuse me of any [hate],” Pelosi said during her...

Libs Want Whole Foods Boycott After McConnell ‘WholeFoods’ Honor
by Shifra on December 2, 2019Confused Libs. And I think I just repeated myself. 🙂 Via NY Post. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been named WholeFoods Magazine’s person of the year. No, not that Whole Foods. The popular grocery chain sent out dozens of tweets this week clearing up the confusion and emphasizing that the publication has no affiliation with its company. It was responding to outraged shoppers who have been rebuking the grocer on social media with tweets like, “SHAME ON YOU!,” “despicable,” and “What in the world were you thinking?” “I love you, but I cannot stomach this,” one user wrote. “How awful.” Some customers even pledged a lifelong boycott of the store…. Last week, the magazine featured McConnell on its...

by Shifra on December 1, 2019Dear Environmentalists: In the spirit of the holiday season…please put a sock in it. Via Breitbart. Before you sit down for your Thanksgiving feast or unwrap this year’s gifts tucked under the Christmas tree, environmentalists want you to know that your holiday traditions are contributing to climate change and hurting the planet.

NY Post Cover Mocks Impeachment Hearings: ‘Guilty! Now For The Trial’
by Shifra on November 13, 2019The NY Post cover says it all. Perfectly. Via Daily Wire. The New York Post released its Wednesday cover late on Tuesday night mocking Democratic House leaders ahead of their public impeachment hearings of President Donald Trump over his July 25 phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky…. Columnist Michael Goodwin writes that Schiff “takes his magic act public Wednesday as the impeachment hearings burst out of a Capitol Hill dungeon and onto television. Donald Trump’s presidency and the 2020 election likely hang on whether Schiff’s sleight of hand can survive the bright lights of public exposure and cross-examination.” “Operating in darkness, where he controlled the witness list and leaked snippets of testimony that the Dems’ media echo chamber turned...

Biden Confuses ‘Paris Peace Accords’ Ending Vietnam War With Climate Accord
by Shifra on November 5, 2019Memo to Joe: If you are ever asked about the Obama Iran Deal, please don’t demand they release all 52 American hostages. They already did, forty years ago.

Sad Story: Activists Learn Climate Conference Canceled After Four Weeks At Sea
by Shifra on November 1, 2019I think the name of their vessel is the ‘SS Virtue-Signaler’… or maybe ‘SS Ship Of Fools’… Or something… Via Red State. ….Santiago was set to host the UN Climate Conference and an intrepid group of climate activists, otherwise known as people without jobs, decided that instead of simply flying, they’d waste nearly two months sailing to their destination. Their journey began on October 2nd, starting in Amsterdam. Then something hilarious happened. The conference got cancelled while they were a little over halfway there. A group of climate activists crossing the Atlantic by sailboat to a UN summit in Chile were shocked to learn the event was canceled — four weeks into their grueling voyage https://t.co/FgFJCbl3xY — CNN (@CNN) October...

by Shifra on October 30, 2019Wait, we should all go out and vote for Joe because he has a dog, and Trump doesn’t? You know what else Joe has, and Trump doesn’t? A son (Hunter Biden) who managed to get millions of dollars from Ukraine and China for doing…nothing. HT PJ Media.

Hillary’s Spox Claims She Said *Republicans,* Not Russians, Are Grooming Gabbard
by Shifra on October 24, 2019Are Nick Merrill and the NYT trying to gaslight us? Are we supposed to believe the whole “Russian asset” thing Hillary cooked up was just a case of everyone mishearing and misunderstanding what she said? And if Hillary really meant that the GOP was “planning to set up” Gabbard as a third-party candidate in 2020, how is this any less of a really dumb conspiracy theory? Here is Hillary spokesman Nick Merrill’s new claim, and audio from David Plouffe’s podcast last week: Why do you lie? Here’s Hillary Clinton calling Tulsi Gabbard a Russian asset and saying they’re grooming her to be a third party candidate. https://t.co/2ybBTtClWj pic.twitter.com/06WbHBPuP0 — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) October 23, 2019 Via MarketWatch.

ICYMI: Kamala Claims Giuliani ‘Broke Laws,’ But Can’t Name Any
by Shifra on October 20, 2019Kamala Harris is now in tenth place among the 2020 Dem candidates, and she stands at 2% support among Democratic caucus voters. Not surprising, given her many dumb comments, such as this one. But here’s the real shocker: A CNN host actually asked a Democrat a good question! Via Daily Caller. CNN’s Anderson Cooper stumped Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris on Friday night when he asked her what specific laws President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani has broken…. Harris said Giuliani “has clearly broken many laws,” adding that his actions are “further evidence of corruption” by the Trump administration and that they violate an “extraordinary number of rules and ethical laws.” When Cooper asked Harris what specific laws she...

Tulsi Gabbard Responds to Hillary’s Charge That She Is ‘Russian Asset’
by Shifra on October 18, 2019Ever since Hillary lost the election in 2016, we’ve been assuming she has been drinking Chardonnay. But maybe she’s been drinking too much Russian vodka? Via National Review. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asserted that the Russians are attempting to undermine the 2020 election by backing Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D., Hawaii) as a third-party candidate, stating “she’s the favorite of the Russians.” Appearing on Obama campaign manager David Plouffe’s podcast, Clinton made a number of claims regarding Russian meddling in U.S. elections, including that Gabbard’s substantial social-media support relies on Russian bots…. “I think they’ve got their eye on someone who’s currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate,” Clinton said on the...

Mark Sanford Kicks Off GOP Presidential Campaign. No One Shows Up
by Shifra on October 17, 2019Wait, there was one reporter. And two aides. Does that count? If so, the headline should read: “Three People Showed Up.” Via PJ Media. Everyone has to start somewhere — even presidential candidates. But for Mark Sanford, who is making a quixotic challenge to Donald Trump for the GOP presidential nomination, things can only go up from here. Sanford kicked off his impossible dream of a campaign yesterday in Philadelphia. This account, from the only reporter present, gives us a flavor of the absolute futility of Sanford’s effort…. “Nobody knows me in Philadelphia. I get it,” Sanford said. “I think in life we all do what we can do, what’s within our power to have an effect. So we’re just...
