Jerrold Nadler Amends Second Amendment

The precious Second Amendment, upon which all our other liberties rest, read as follows:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The text is different now that prominent Democrat congresscritter Jerrold Nadler has amended it:

Nadler was speaking in opposition to H.R. 354, which would reform the Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act that recognizes the right of law enforcement officers to carry a concealed weapon in certain federal facilities and across state lines, whether off duty or retired.

He said he was quoting the Second Amendment. Actually, he misquoted it by leaving out the crucial words “of the people.”

No one expects Democrats to be enthused about our right to defend ourselves. However,

as a member of Congress who has sworn a solemn oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution, including those parts with which he may disagree, Nadler’s omission demonstrates something more like contempt than principled opposition.

Behold the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, who will presumably once again be the Chair if Democrats take Congress:

Motherhood in the Age of Moonbattery

Depravity is not merely a characteristic or consequence of moonbattery; it is its essence. The more wholesome something is, the more urgently moonbats feel compelled to corrupt and defile it. Consider motherhood:

Welcome to the wonderful world of wokeness, little guy! Too bad if you were expecting a mom. Don’t worry, we will purge you of the old-fashioned bigoted notions hardwired into every mammal that ever lived.

To compound the malicious parody, they pushed the pseudomom around in a wheelchair, as if he really had given birth.

At least farces like this provide job opportunities for those with degrees in gender studies who don’t manage to find more lucrative employment in government agencies. They can become queer doulas:

Doulas are nonmedical care workers who assist people throughout the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum processes by providing education, emotional, physical, and logistical support, as well as advocacy within medical settings. … Doulas differ from midwives in that they do not necessarily have medical training and generally work outside of the medical system.

Here’s why our brave new world needs queer doulas:

In addition to dealing with health care providers that often lack expertise on trans health care, transgender and gender-nonconforming birthing people have reported feelings of loneliness and of their experiences of parenting being erased within a health care system built on a binary understanding of gender, anatomy, and parenthood.

Queer doulas protect preferred identity groups from the allegedly bigoted healthcare system:

Annie Rosenblum, a white queer full-spectrum doula and abortion worker living in Gainesville, Florida, was driving a client to deliver their baby at a local hospital known for its high maternal and infant mortality rates, particularly among Black and brown patients. Rosenblum remembers their client, who is Black and queer, turning to them in the car and saying, “Don’t let them kill me.”

How terrifying the world must seem to identity group box-checkers who take liberal propaganda seriously.

Doulas serve as advocates, slowing down doctors and nurses when necessary and checking in with clients to make sure they’re okay with what’s happening.

No doubt trained medical professionals appreciate the assistance as they attempt to go about their jobs.

Coverage for doula care is expanding under Medicaid…

Get to work, taxpayers. Someone has to pay for this.

Legislation to Address Campus Pro-Hamas Hooligans

Americans ought to get something in return for the mountains of money our government has bestowed upon Hamas since the terror atrocities of October 7. How about a dumping ground for our least desirable citizens?

A new House Republican bill would send any person charged and convicted for illegal activity on a college campus to Gaza for at least six months.

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., introduced the bill on Wednesday alongside Reps. Randy Weber, R-Texas, and Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., in response to the ongoing anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses across the country.

Rep. Weber underscores the poetic justice of sending pro-Hamas leftists to the world they want to inflict on Israelis:

“If you support a terrorist organization, and you participate in unlawful activity on campuses, you should get a taste of your own medicine. I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity.”

Maybe the Islamists moonbats literally kneel before would roll out the red carpet in gratitude. Then again maybe not.

Feds Grant ObamaCare to Illegals by Redefining a Term

Why further provoke the wrath of voters by pushing through a law or even by signing yet another executive order when you can achieve anti-American policy objectives through the entrenched bureaucracy just by redefining a term?

The Biden administration recently finalized regulations that will provide taxpayer-funded benefits to individuals who came into this country lacking authorization, by defining them as “lawfully present.”

Illegal aliens are not lawfully present. Except now they are. Because Biden’s bureauweenies say so.

The prime controversy in both last year’s proposed rule and this year’s final version is over health coverage for individuals participating in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Both regulations would revise the definition of “lawfully present” to include DACA participants for purposes of participation in health programs under Obamacare.

As Joe Wilson observed years ago, Democrats were lying when they barked that the illegal aliens they have been importing for purposes of demographic engineering would not get their healthcare at our expense via ObamaCare.

The idea that a president can unilaterally declare a group of individuals “lawfully” present without the consent of Congress defies logic, not to mention the basic principles of “our democracy” that the left purports to care so much about.

To refute this, Democrats can cite the influential postmodernist Humpty Dumpty:

‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.’

‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master—that’s all.’

So long as moonbats are our masters, a word has whatever meaning they find expedient.

When You’ve Lost Erin Burnett…

You can see why Biden normally only sits for safe interviews with obsequious toadies like Howard Stern. If they have even a shred of journalistic integrity, even the libs at CNN can’t help but lay waste to him:

Not even CNN can ignore what Biden and his astonishingly inept handlers have been doing to the country.

Now wonder Democrats are geared up to cheat worse than ever. Biden’s Marxist rhetoric about “corporate greed” will not cut it in November with anyone who has an IQ above room temperature.

Profiles in Countermoonbattery: Tina Forte

If you remember Covid tyranny, vote for people like Tina Forte — or the next time a bug comes around, it will be exploited as a pretext to inflict even worse. Forte is running for the New York congressional seat of the obnoxious ultraleftist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

The reason voters will choose the godawful AOC over Tina Forte is that the district has succumbed to the Democrat Death Spiral. Demographic transformation guarantees AOC’s reelection.

The border remains open because Democrats intend to inflict the same fate on the nation as a whole. If they succeed, Marxists like AOC will win every election, and Americans like Tina Forte will fade out of existence. The Future of the Democratic Party will be the future of America.

Pritzker Family Helps Bankroll Pro-Hamas Demonstrations

As noted earlier, big money backs even the kookiest moonbats — prominently including the pampered lowlifes turning out in force for Hamas in the aftermath of the October 7 terror atrocities. Like Hillary Clinton and the Maoist Neville Roy Singham, the sinister Pritzker clan is in a position to fling a fortune at pure evil.

Infamous Pritzkers include Harvard Corporation Senior Fellow Penny S. Pritzker, who was Secretary of Commerce under Obama; James “Jennifer” Pritzker, who has been financing the mainstreaming of transsexual depravity; and worst of all, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who promotes Illinois as the most welcoming state in the nation for the hordes of illegal aliens flooding in to displace Americans, even as the state hurtles toward bankruptcy.

Lately, the Pritzkers have been funding House Democrats in tough reelection fights:

According to FEC data, members of the prominent Pritzker family, the extremely wealthy owners of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, have given hundreds of thousands of dollars this election cycle to a number of those vulnerable Democrats, as well as the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and House Majority PAC — two organizations tasked with winning a majority in the House of Representatives.

Look what those taking the money have crawled into bed with:

The Pritzker family has, at the same time, given to organizations involved with the anti-Jewish protests, which have received widespread condemnation and resulted in thousands of arrests…

Follow the money from the Pritzkers to the Libra Foundation to explicitly radical smaller nonprofits that fund the From the River to the Sea crowd, including Climate Justice Alliance, Black Organizing for Leadership and Dignity, and the Immigrant Defense Project.

They work together with the Daddy Warbucks of the Malevolent Left:

The Pritzkers, alongside liberal billionaire George Soros, are also funders of the Tides Foundation, a left-wing organization that funds other small progressive groups, including Adalah Justice Project, a participant in the protest at Columbia University that was broken up last week…

Democrats have no grass roots. They have cash roots. That’s what a ruling class needs to impose a revolution from above.

Breath of Fresh Air: Brian Mast on Hamas

The bad news: Code Pink is back, as hostile to America and its allies as ever. The good news: a politician has been discovered with the moral clarity to confront moonbattery without apology — Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL):

Agreeing to a ceasefire is easy enough for Hamas. Being terrorists, they wouldn’t have to abide by it.

Imagine coming up to someone in a rough bar, gouging out one of their eyes without provocation, then demanding a ceasefire — while making it clear you intend to gouge out the other eye.

In other Code Pink news, Neville Roy Singham, the Maoist who apparently has funded pro-Hamas campus protests to the tune of $12 million, is married to Code Pink head moonbat Jodie Evans.

Democrats’ angry base could not be more conspicuously evil if it tried — or more unappealing:

Soros-Installed Kim Gardner Takes a Powder

Kim Gardner — the Soros-installed Saint Louis Circuit Attorney who thought it just to prosecute Mark and Patricia McCloskey for standing in their own yard with firearms to dissuade Black Lives Matter rioters from burning down their home — is back in the news:

A state examination of the office that handles criminal prosecutions in St. Louis is being delayed because auditors can’t find former Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, Missouri Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick said Monday.

She has evaded their attempts to serve her with a subpoena for months.

Gardner, a Democrat first elected in 2016 to become the city’s first Black circuit attorney, resigned in May 2023. She was part of a movement of progressive prosecutors who sought diversion to mental health treatment or drug abuse treatment for low-level crimes, pledged to hold police more accountable, and sought to free inmates who were wrongfully convicted.

This was apparently part of a nationwide strategy by Democrats, largely funded by top Democrat donor George Soros, to destabilize the country by driving urban crime rates into the stratosphere. Although the ultimate objectives are unclear, they are clearly malevolent, and probably involve further infringement of our Second Amendment rights.

In addition to the McCloskey outrage,

In 2018, she charged former Gov. Eric Greitens, then a rising star in GOP politics, with felony invasion of privacy, accusing him of taking a compromising photo of a woman during an affair. The charge was eventually dropped.

Under Soros-installed prosecutors like Gardner and Alvin Bragg, conviction is unnecessary; the process is the punishment. Greitens resigned in June of that year.

In 2019, she prohibited nearly 60 officers from bringing cases to her office after they were accused of posting racist and anti-Muslim comments on social media.

Accusation = guilt when it comes to thoughtcrime. Meanwhile, the criminals who should have been prosecuted continued to run amok.

Then came the tragedy of 16-year-old Janae Edmondson losing her legs thanks to Gardner refusing to incarcerate criminals.

Gardner predictably screeched that to criticize her is racist.

Since she can’t hide indefinitely, Gardner ought to seek protection from Joe Biden, like her fellow Soros-appointed left-wing Woman of Color DA Marilyn Mosby of Baltimore.

Other Soros DAs include George Gascon (Los Angeles), Kim Foxx (Chicago), Kim Ogg (Houston), Larry Krasner (Philadelphia), Chesa Boudin (San Francisco), Monique Worrell (central Florida), Jason Williams (New Orleans), Pamela Price (Oakland), and Jacqueline Sartoris (Cumberland County, Maine). None of them has turned out much better than Gardner, Bragg, and Mosby.

Bladeless Swiss Army Knives

What next, after progressives have progressed to making us safe by confiscating all firearms? Ask the people who make Swiss army knives:

For more than a century, the Swiss army knife has been an essential piece of kit for everyone from picnickers and equestrians, to golfers and astronauts.

But now the maker of the pocket-knife, with its red or blue shell and multiple tools, has bowed to what an English judge last week called the “plague of knife crime” by designing a new range without blades.

The plague of knife crime was mainly caused by mass Third World immigration combined with a population that has been disarmed by its leftist rulers, rendering it vulnerable to attack. A little old lady can defend herself with a gun, but where there are only knives, lowlifes have the advantage. After knives too have been confiscated, authorities will take steps to protect the public from the plague of blunt instrument crimes.

In response to an increasing number of countries imposing bans or restrictions on carrying knives, Victorinox, the Swiss firm that produces the pocket tools, is in the early stages of developing the first range of bladeless products designed specifically for activities where a blade would not be required.

Spoons are still allowed for now, until it is discovered that they can be used to gouge out people’s eyes.

Maybe they should make Swiss army forks — because when a society does not trust itself with pocketknives, you can stick a fork in it.
