Democrats are not a threat to democracy; their opponents are. By the same token, it is not the Biden crime family that is criminal, but Biden’s political opposition. Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) explains:

What Jasmine actually explains is why the franchise is overbroad and should be limited to those who are cognitively functional.

No wonder Gavin Newsom has ruled out replacing Dianne Feinstein with one of the 94% of Americans who are not black women. It shouldn’t be hard to find a Jasmine Crockett somewhere in California, and who would dare criticize an explicit Affirmative Action selection? You don’t hear establishment voices questioning Ketanji Brown Jackson’s fitness to sit on the Supreme Court.

Dark Brandon is back:

Biden on Thursday called his once-and-perhaps-future opponent Donald Trump a direct threat to American democracy in the most forceful condemnation of the former president and the MAGA movement he has delivered since he took office.

Meanwhile,

Trump, a heavy favorite to win the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, faces federal and state indictments accusing him of using various levers of power to try to overturn his loss in the 2020 election.

The charges are conspicuously lame and constitute criminalization of political opposition.

Democrats are well known for projecting their sins onto their opponents. Denouncing them as “threats to democracy” is a case in point. Their control of the powerful media makes the threat they pose truly alarming.

Democrats have gone out of their way to pander to transsexuals, placing them at the pinnacle of the victimhood hierarchy. But too much is never enough regarding pampering privileged identity groups. Newsweek reports that most transsexuals do not consider themselves Democrats:

While four out of 10 would say they are Democrats, a higher percentage identified as independent or something else.

According to the [KFF/Washington Post Trans Survey], 28 percent said they were independent, while another 20 percent said they identified as something else. Unsurprisingly, only 10 percent identified with the Republican party compared to roughly 45 percent of the national population.

If Asa Hutchinson and Crispy Creme Christie can call themselves Republicans, so can 10% of transsexuals.

No doubt the vast majority of cross-dressers vote for Democrats if only to poke regular Americans in the eye. But there could be an opening for a third party candidate, considering that virtually nobody likes Joe Biden — assuming Democrats wait too long to pull their switcheroo and replace him with Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom.

[A]s the study reflects, transgender people are more likely to face economic instability and mental health issues, which some feel the Democratic party is not adequately addressing.

They do have unmet needs regarding mental health.

“[Democrats] want me to say something like ‘let trans people be’ and that’s not enough,” Xemiyulu Manibusan Tapepechul, a transgender writer and advocate, told New Republic. “We need trans people to be housed. We need trans people to have food, to have jobs, to be able to find love, to have families, and be safe.”

In Liberalese, to “be safe” is to be protected from resistance and criticism through the suppression of free speech. Helping transsexuals to “have families” after they have destroyed their reproductive abilities through grotesque sex change procedures is a challenge to be met through more science gone wrong.

On the flip side, many formerly left-leaning individuals are finding themselves at odds with some of the more controversial transgender policies, namely allowing children to be treated with puberty blockers if they identify with the opposite gender.

Democrat policy regarding the transsexualization of children is so indisputably evil that it is driving the last decent people out of the party. Unfortunately, there may still be enough left to win elections.

Lawless black mobs were lavishly rewarded for demanding that we pretend career criminal George Floyd was murdered by police rather than dying of a fentanyl overdose. Reward behavior and you get more of it:

Philadelphia suffered its second night in a row of mass looting incidents and destructive social media-fueled mayhem on Wednesday…

Needy social justice warriors…

…ransacked more than a dozen state-run liquor stores so thoroughly that the state announced it was closing its Philly locations until further notice.

The pretext:

The flash mob-style looting spree started just after 8 p.m. Tuesday at dozens of stores, including Foot Locker, Lululemon and an Apple store, just hours after a judge ruled to dismiss a murder charge against a White Philadelphia police officer who shot and killed Black resident Eddie Irizarry.

Don’t call it looting. That would be racially insensitive. Call it “reparations,” like they do in Chicago:

As public order collapses, stores are becoming infeasible. The leftists running Target reap the consequences of their own ideology:

On Tuesday the big box retailer announced plans to close nine stores, effective Oct. 21.

“We cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance,” the company said in a statement.

Can you guess where the stores are? That’s right, ultraliberal cities:

The stores set to close include one in Harlem, N.Y; two in Seattle, Wash.; three near San Francisco and Oakland, Calif.; and three in Portland, Ore.

Target loves liberalism but has no choice:

Target expects to lose roughly $1.2 billion in profits from retail theft in 2022 and 2023.

No worries. The same Democratic politicians who encourage rioting will replace Target with government stores. The nice thing about communism is that you don’t have to worry about theft, since there is nothing on the shelves to steal.

Here’s how Americans look from overseas, now that we have succumbed to moonbattery:

The police could put an end to this with a single machine gun. But we don’t have the will to defend civilization from savages. So we are losing it.

Human rights aren’t just for humans anymore. That would be speciesist. So a California town has granted them to elephants:

The Ojai City Council voted 4-1 on Tuesday to adopt the ordinance, which recognizes the freedoms of elephants and was developed with the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP). …

Calling the Ojai ordinance “historic,” the Nonhuman Rights Project said it expects other cities to follow suit and pass similar legislation.

California kookiness does have a tendency to metastasize.

Commuter traffic in the New York City area sometimes gets backed up for miles because Canadian geese have waddled into the road. Presumably you would get in big trouble for running one over. Imagine the traffic nightmare when elephants learn of their newly created entitlements.

But there is a bright side. Maybe human rights for elephants could be applied to Republicans. That might spare Donald Trump from the centuries in prison Democrats have in mind for him.

On a tip from Jack D.

The planet owes a debt of gratitude to Jackson, Wyoming, for investing our money in electric buses. This is as likely as any other moonbat measure to stop the climate from fluctuating — even if none of them works:

The Southern Teton Area Rapid Transit (START) system, a joint operation between Jackson and Teton County, bought eight electric buses to complement its fleet of 31.

They have fallen back on their diesel buses, which work. Getting parts for the malfunctioning electric buses has proven impossible:

Last month, the electric bus manufacturer that supplied START, California-based Proterra, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Electric vehicles are so economically insane that companies like Proterra can’t stay in business no matter how much of our money Democrats shovel at them.

Proterra … enjoyed financial support from federal taxpayers, as well as praise from President Joe Biden.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provided more than $5.5 billion for low- and no-emission buses, each costing around $1 million each.

In 2021 Biden participated in a virtual tour of the company.

“The fact is, you’re making me look good,” the president said.

The only thing that could make Biden look good would be a prison uniform.

Biden went on to discuss a plan to build 50,000 charging stations with federal support.

If Democrats’ green spending spree continues, the entire country will join Proterra in bankruptcy.

The buses didn’t work well in the winter anyway, being EVs.

At least the bureauweenies learned their lesson, right? Wrong:

There are more electric buses heading to Teton County as START works to phase out as much of its diesel fleet as it can.

According to the News & Guide, the eight buses in its fleet cost $2.3 million, 80% of which was covered by a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant in 2019. Between 2020 and 2021, similar grants provided another $2.6 million, and START plans to spend $3.3 million for four more electric buses.

This will be financed from our savings, as Democrats continue to inflate the currency by printing more money.

Even the giants who tower tallest in human history are to be erased for spreading Western Civilization and enabling hated Caucasians to flourish throughout the globe. Our moonbat rulers want to cancel Christopher Columbus, discoverer of the New World, repurposing the holiday in his honor as Stone Age Savages I mean Indigenous Peoples Day. They are even coming after the great Ferdinand Magellan:

A group of astronomers is coalescing around an idea to rename two neighbors of the Milky Way, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. …

Magellan’s name is not fitting, astronomer Mia de los Reyes and colleagues argue. The leader of the first expedition to successfully circle the globe, Magellan enslaved and killed Indigenous people encountered on the voyage, which set out from Spain in 1519.

For the crime of living in the 16th century, Magellan will now be erased.

Heroes might inspire us to future great feats. We are supposed to slump our shoulders and shuffle our feet, not stand proud. So down the memory hole he goes.

“Because we’re naming things in the night sky, which belongs to everyone, we think that it’s important to have names that reflect all of humanity,” says de los Reyes, of Amherst College in Massachusetts.

Mia is a Filipino American Woman of Color, so we should probably name the galaxies after her.

Before they are through deleting history, the first human to exist on earth will be Harriet Tubman.

If you can make money in this culture by being morbidly obese, why not by having been brainwashed as a child into thinking you are “nonbinary”?

Lior Onaly-Kelsey, now 15, was eight years old and in third grade when other students at Oak Grove began to bully and harass them because they are nonbinary, according to a press release sent Monday by Johnson, Johnson, Lucas & Middleton, P.C., the firm representing Onaly-Kelsey.

Eight-year-olds did not come up with the concept of being “nonbinary” on their own.

Lior was allegedly called “the devil’s spawn” by other kids. It is further alleged that the principal, who is now retired, did not do enough to stop the teasing. A federal jury has spoken:

Greater Albany Public Schools and former Oak Grove Elementary School Principal Jerrie Matuszak violated Oregon law, the U.S. Constitution and the federal sex-based protections known as Title IX by discriminating against a former elementary school student for their gender identity.

Ka-ching!

The jury awarded Onaly-Kelsey $317,353 in compensation.

Such lawsuits not only enrich members of a preferred identity group, they also help drive the liberal agenda:

Superintendent Andy Gardner, who began leading Greater Albany schools last year, said the events related to the dispute began in 2017. Since then, the district has made several changes, including developing a strategic plan “rooted in equity,” creating a new equity, diversity and inclusion department and updating the district’s bias incident response procedures.

The ratchet turns another notch toward totalitarian moonbattery.

Gardner said the district has been leaning on the Oregon Department of Education’s Supporting Gender [Expansive] Students guidance, which was released in January.

As has been observed, the abandonment of education in favor of indoctrinating children with a depraved sexual agenda is creating a mental health crisis. At least Lior Onaly-Kelsey will be able to afford a good psychiatrist.

On a tip from Barry A.

To quote Galatians 6:7,

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Here’s what you might reap if you sow moonbattery:

EcoMap Technologies CEO Pava Marie LaPere, a self-described “anti-racist” and Black Lives Matter supporter who spoke out against the “criminalization of Black bodies,” was allegedly beaten to death in her own home in Baltimore on Monday by a black male who was released early from prison under the criminal justice reform policies she championed.

Liberals seem to believe they will not be affected by the inevitable consequences of their depraved agenda. As in all things, they are wrong.

On tips from Wiggins and Dr. Kufi Tutite.

Someone alert Merrick Garland that he needs to dispatch the FBI. Another terrorist has disrupted a schoolboard meeting by objecting to public schools having been repurposed so that instead of educating students they indoctrinate them with moonbattery, resulting in an epidemic of mental illness.
