Pelosi to Step Down?

Nancy Pelosi Says That Mask-less Hair Appointment Was a “Setup” | Vanity Fair

My view numbers are totally underwater today, so let’s have some political nooze. I was outdoors today, in the perishing heat, to write a piece of my new book, The Witch Box, and I ground out a Newswithviews column. Now I might as well report some nooze.

Will Nancy Pelosi step down as Speaker of the House and not seek re-election? Rumors to that effect have just emerged (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/08/11/report-nancy-pelosi-eyes-the-exits/). The sources are Atlantic Magazine and the California Globe.

Yeah–promises, promises. Then again, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has resigned–and I didn’t think he would. Are Democrats trying to unload some of their biggest liabilities before next year’s mid-term elections?

Scuttlebutt has it that Pelosi, anticipating that Democrats will get creamed in those elections (promises, promises), and having no desire to serve in the minority, is seriously considering hanging up her spikes.

Oh, but this is too good to be true! Next thing, they’ll be telling us Chuck Schumer is about to take the noon balloon. There have been rumors before, last year and earlier this year, that Pelosi would leave Congress–and they never panned out.

Did I mention that Gavin Newsom’s chances of surviving the recall election for governor of California… are looking rather slim?

I consider it likely that, if there’s anything to these rumors, it’s only because the Dems have in mind someone even worse to replace Pelosi. How about Hunter Biden? He’d be a great fit.

Maybe we should be asking, “Whom does Xi Jin Ping want as Speaker?”

America will never be safe for as long as the Democrat Party remains viable.

All Is Not Well in Lib-Land

Why Gavin Newsom is striving for his next “Big Hairy Audacious Goal” | CALmatters

Why is this man grinning?

Democrats have got some problems lately. But what’s bad for them is good for America. Always.

In California, a poll taken by UC Berkeley and the Los Angeles Times shows Gov. Gavin Noisome–sorry: Newsom–down by double digits as his recall election looms (https://www.sfgate.com/gavin-newsom-recall/article/poll-Gavin-Newsom-recall-losing-Elder-Paffrath-16364991.php). No clear front-runner has emerged yet, but get this:

Bruce Jenner, a man who now calls himself a woman named “Caitlyn,” is polling 4%. What does that mean? How many thousands of Californians want this guy for their governor? One shudders to think.

And in New York, Democrats are turning on Gov. Andrew Cuomo, big-time. State Assembly Democrats want him impeached, NYC Mayor “Bill DeBlasio” has called on him to resign, and even Sen. Chuck Schumer doesn’t seem to like him anymore.

Cuomo is in hot water for a multitude of sexual harassment allegations, some of which carry serious criminal penalties. What a difference a year makes! Even when he was shifting COVID patients into nursing homes, resulting in the deaths of thousands, Dems were still hailing him as “the anti-Trump.” Now they won’t return his phone calls.

And for an entire week, seven days in a row (July 28-August 3), the fake nooze network, CNN, failed to attract one million viewers. Maybe people are getting tired of a steady diet of Democrat propaganda.

Dems are always surprised by developments like this. That’s because they believe their own lies and don’t know any normal people who might correct them.

May we all live to say, with a sigh of the most profound relief, “And great was the fall of it!”

Stupid Stuff That’ll Kill Us

We as a nation are doing stupid stuff that’ll kill us if we don’t stop.

*Purposely stirring up racial hatred, fear, and animosity, teaching Hypocritical Race Theory in our public schools–for no reason at all, except to help Democrats wield their politics against us.

*The whole transgender thing.

*Refusing to protect our southern border.

*Panicking, shutting down the national economy, suspending our rights, and going absolutely bat-schiff whenever a new germ crops up.

*Training our armed forces to look on their fellow Americans as the enemy.

Why are we doing those things? What benefit could they possibly have for us? Instead of a republic, we seem to be trying to create a rule of the incontinent over the incompetent. It’ll turn out to be like Hell.

If we don’t stop doing these things, we’re done for.

[Note: I’m thinking of expanding this into a Newswithviews column; so reader comments and feedback will be very much appreciated. Unless it comes from leftids.]

‘”Activist” Calls for Hillary to “Take Over”‘ (2018)

The only reason she isn’t president today is, the Dems are as scared of her as we are.

More proof that it’s not an “insurrection” when Democrats do it.

‘Activist’ Calls for Hillary to ‘Take Over’

This doofus wanted to state a coup d’etat in 2018. Silly ass: he didn’t realize the Deep State was working on it even as he spoke.

But it does show the Democrat mind-set–anything, absolutely anything, for power. There’s nothing they won’t do to get it. Even now they’re murdering our country. Hope and chains, baby! Hope and chains!

They waited till Election Day 2020 to execute their coup. In that sense, we have already been Fundamentally Transformed into a third-world country.

Did He Really Say… This?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

(Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip.)

So now we have video of a man whom our nooze media call the president saying, and we quote, “My butt’s been wiped.”

What?

Of course, now the Dems are saying that he never said this, the sound got distorted somehow, he isn’t really ga-ga.

If he did say it, it has nothing to do with anything that was happening around him at the moment. He’d just come back to the White House after a weekend at home in Delaware.

So who wiped his butt, and when did he wipe it? To paraphrase Richard Nixon, “Your president is not a kook.” Except he is.

Do you honestly believe that this dotard who spent the whole campaign lurking in his cellar really and truly had 80 million people vote for him?

Let’s see the rallies, Joe.

And that’s all I’m going to say about this–hardly in the best of taste.

A Book for Our Time

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

The Twelve Caesars: Suetonius, Kline, A. S.: 9781505260922: Amazon.com: Books

Reading nooze reports of Joe Biden’s erratic carryings-on, I found myself wondering, “Is this a chapter from Suetonius?”

It is to the early Roman historian Suetonius that we owe our picture of the Roman emperors as corrupt, bloodthirsty, hopelessly mad, silly, and a disgrace to their country. Maybe you never read Suetonius and don’t know anyone who has; but most of those juicy imperial scandals came down to us through him. Caligula claiming to be a god, Nero fiddling while Rome burns, Tiberius’ island of total debauchery, Livia poisoning practically everyone–all first recorded by Suetonius.

You can easily get a translation of his book, The Twelve Caesars. It makes for very lively reading! It’s impressive that Rome managed to survive these first dozen emperors, most of whom had more than a few screws loose.

Boy, is it easy to imagine Suetonius writing about Joe Biden! The Dodderer-in-Chief would fit right in. He and Claudius could have a woolgathering contest.

Note: If you’ve ever watched and enjoyed the PBS series, I, Claudius, know that most of the characterization and dialogue there comes from Suetonius more than Robert Graves.

God help us, our country is living out a chapter from Suetonius…

Is This a … President?

Gee! Look at all those invisible Biden voters disguised as empty seats!

You’d think a nation would be mortally ashamed even to suggest that such a wreck as Joe Biden could be president.

So the other night Biden had a “town hall”–a euphemism for a totally contrived event choreographed by biased nooze media–with CNN. They had to jam everybody into the first couple rows to hide fact that the auditorium was 90% empty.

And then the man who calls himself our president got down to some serious babbling and fumfering. He is not the man he was: and the man he was was nothing to write home about. (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/07/biden-flirts-mans-wife-rambles-man-moon-aliens-asked-vaccine-hesitancy-black-community-video/)

His rambling, disconnected takeoff on an audience member’s question featured cameo appearances by “a man on the moon” and “aliens.” It is hard to see how they fit in.

It is unfair to say Biden was flirting with the man’s wife. We know that when he flirts, he gropes. No–this was just some ham-handed pleasantry put forth as wit.

The real stuff here is the incoherent babbling.

Once upon a time long ago–I will not say “in a galaxy far, far away”–Biden was a practiced, professional politician who knew how to talk to people, knew how to warm them up, knew how to pass himself off as one of them. He has lost those gifts. His public appearances are pitiable.

And this represents our country to the world.

But then the other national leaders, with just a few notable exceptions, aren’t so hot, either.

My Newswithviews Column, July 15 (‘Are You An “Extremist”?’)

Nope, no extremists here!

Some of you have received these Facebook “extremist” warnings. Honk if you think “extremist” means Antifa or BLM.

Not to Facebook, it doesn’t.

Are You an “Extremist”?

And note the continuing efforts by leftids worldwide to train people to rat each other out. Do you know someone “at risk of becoming an extremist?”

Well, yeah, it happens that I do! Her name is Nancy Pelosi and she’s really gone off the deep end, I think she might be crazy. Isn’t it about time you guys carted her off?

They are out to erase our liberties, and they don’t mean maybe.

Yes, They Really Do Mean to Enslave Us

Facebook Prods Users Who've Been Exposed to 'Extremist Content' to Get Help | PCMag

Before the doddering dolt announced he was going to send goons door to door to make sure we’ve all been injected with an experimental drug–indeed, just two days before the Fourth of July, called “Independence Day” without a conscious irony–Facebook started issuing “extremism” and “extremist content” warnings.

Honk if you’ve ever heard them define “extremist.”

Check out those messages. “Are you concerned that someone you know is becoming an extremist?” My cousin voted for John Kerry once; that concerned me. “You may have been exposed to harmful extremist content recently” and it’ll make your ass glow in the dark or something. If either of these warnings applies to you, you can click “Get Support.” They’ll send someone over to write it all down when you rat out your brother-in-law.

The only extremists I ever come into contact with are the Far Left Crazies running our country into the ground. I am not impressed by imaginary “threats” posed by “white supremacists,” a dozen hillbillies with a 1970 pickup truck and a shotgun that sometimes goes off.

I’ll tell you what’s an extremist threat. Critical Race Theory.

Let’s see Facebook warn you about that.

This age is morphing into a mass frontal assault against what’s left of our freedom and dignity.

May the Lord our God defend us.

Door to Door… for Vaccination?

Unspecified “volunteers” will be “literally knocking on doors” to get people vaccinated for King COVID, according to the man who claims to be our president (https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2021-07-06/biden-federal-covid-19-vaccination-effort-will-go-door-to-door-to-get-people-shots).

Who are these people who’ll be knocking on our doors? We don’t know, do we? Someone “from the government”? Criminals looking for likely houses to rob? Left-wing fanatics who’ll harass us? Assorted “volunteers” from “community groups” we never heard of?

The potential for abuse is toweringly high.

And there will be doors that you’d be well-advised to leave alone, if you knew who’d answer your knock.

Why are we treating this as the most deadly and scariest disease in history, fully justifying all kinds of draconian measures? I mean, gee, we practically shut down our economy last year! Both the government and the nooze media did their level best to scare the schiff out of us.

What is the explanation for this, and why have we never heard it?

But going door to door… this might be the worst idea they’ve had yet.
