Senate Democrats prioritize radical abortion bill over aid for Ukraine - TheBlaze
Senate Democrats prioritize radical abortion bill over aid for Ukraine - TheBlaze:
The United States Senate has returned from recess, and the first major item on the legislative agenda is not humanitarian and security aid for Ukraine's war against Russian invaders. Instead, Democratic leadership has scheduled a procedural vote for a radical abortion bill that would essentially codify Roe v. Wade into federal law.
Democrats will attempt to advance the Women's Health Protection Act Monday, a bill that advocates say will enshrine the right to an abortion into United States law and protect abortion rights in case the Supreme Court overturns Roe later this year.

Nancy Pelosi Claims Americans Can't Understand the SOTU - Louder With Crowder
Nancy Pelosi Claims Americans Can't Understand the SOTU - Louder With Crowder:
Joe Biden is giving the State of the Union address. His mission is to convince the American people the state of the union isn't terrible and that Biden himself isn't a chucklehead who has no idea what he's doing, where he is, and who pooped in his pants. The Democrats have settled on the talking point that the American people are too stupid to realize what an awesome job Joe has been doing. Blaming America for Biden's puddinghead is nothing new. Biden this week questioned the American people's mental capacity. And along comes Nancy Pelosi saying Nancy Pelosi things.

Bank Account Deplatforming Is Cancel Culture's New Weapon:
The real threat here in the U.S. and in Canada is government and the private sector’s collusion to infringe on legitimate peaceful protests and silence speech they don’t like. If we don’t stop this madness, the U.S. will start to look a lot more like a place that doesn’t have First Amendment protections—a place like Canada.
"...There is no way to go back to these forms of "energy" and maintain our current standard of living."
"Michael Schellenberger, best-selling author of San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities, was just on Glenn Beck's program and made a brilliant point in regard to energy - he said wind, solar and water are the energy sources of serfs.
There is no way to go back to these forms of "energy" and maintain our current standard of living - and as much as the left screams that the bottom economic tiers never see the gains the higher tiers do, they also hit bottom faster, harder, and first.
Without hydrocarbons and electricity, there would have been no industrial revolution, no internet and no space exploration.

Trump Was Right: Europe’s Reliance On Russian Oil and Gas Emboldened Putin
...Anyone who has listened to President Trump blast Russia, China, and / or try to reason with the Europeans/NATO knows that this is a comment not about how “smart” Putin is but about how incredibly, unbelievably, shamefully weak and feckless Biden is.
As Trump later explained (via the Wall Street Journal):
In a telephone interview with Fox News late Wednesday night, as Russia launched its invasion, Mr. Trump called the unfolding events a “very sad thing for the world and the country.” He said Mr. Biden hadn’t done enough to dissuade Mr. Putin from invading.
“He was going to be satisfied with a piece and now he sees the weakness and the incompetence and the stupidity of this administration,” Mr. Trump said on Fox News on Wednesday night.
Trump supporters got that immediately, of course, before he spelled it out for them.
The woke partisan media, though, can’t help themselves...Read all.

Poll: Americans say Biden's first year was a failure - TheBlaze:
Two new polls were recently released regarding the job performance of President Joe Biden, and they paint a potentially disastrous picture for Democrats heading into the 2022 midterm elections.
An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released on Friday finds that a majority (56%) of Americans think Biden's first year in office has been a failure, compared to only 39% who said it was a success.

"In a heroic act, the Chief Rabbi of Odessa, Ukraine broke his Shabbat observance in order to bring 250 orphans from his city to safety in the midst of the ongoing violence in the country. "I told them that we are here to fulfill God's will, and on this Shabbat (Saturday), his will is for us to escape to save lives."
Brave actions such as this one create hope in this time of war and unrest."

"Putin apparently thought Ukraine would be a summer’s evening stroll, that within days, if not hours, his forces could overrun the country with minimal resistance.

GOP Rep. Moore: 'Woke Leadership' at Pentagon a Concern on Heels of Russian Ukraine Invasion:
“We’ve got national defense issues, and you know, the thing with the Biden administration — this is just another catastrophic misstep, from the border to the pipeline — I mean, you name it,” Moore continued. “Inflation, printing money, Afghanistan withdrawal, vaccine mandates, and I say this Jeff: I think the vaccine mandate was a result of the Biden administration wagging the dog. As terrible as the narrative was, shortly after Afghanistan and the numbers began to tank, you know the ‘let’s go, Brandon’ chants began to be a thing in stadiums for the young people across the country. All of a sudden, [Biden] comes out with vaccine mandates, and that changes the news cycle.”

THIS IS WHY IF THE LEFT IS GOING TO REVERSE ITSELF ON VACCINES:
Canada’s trucker convoy may be over, but the problems are hardly over for the truckers – and for the rest of us.
If they’re going — like that — to pretend this never happened; if they’re not going to admit that last week they were still trying to Karen everyone; if they are going to attempt to continue their barrage of lies, they must kneel and apologize to the Canadian truckers. And to everyone else.
Now.
And then they must admit they’re faithless, spinless, brainless shitweasels who should never come within shouting distance of the levers of power, and who should be laughed out of the room if they so much as run for dog catcher.
That is the only way to preserve civilization.--Posted by
