Profiles in Kakistocracy: Sheila Jackson Lee

Kakistocracy is defined as government by the worst people — people like liberal icon Sheila Jackson Lee:

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, was recently heard on recorded audio going off on one of her staff members in a profanity-laced tirade in which she said he and another staff member had no brains and are “f—k-ups.”

Jackson Lee has been in Congress for over 28 years. Now she’s running for Mayor of Houston with Shrillary Clinton’s endorsement.

The leaked audio allows us to listen in on what goes on within the walls of the castle. Barks Jackson Lee:

“When I called Jerome, he only sits up there like a fat [expletive], just talking about what the [expletive] he doesn’t know,” she said. “Both of y’all are [expletive]-ups…This is the worst [expletive] that I could’ve ever had put together. Two [expletive] big [expletive] children. [expletive] idiots. Serve no [expletive] purpose.

“Nobody’s respecting him, nobody gives a [expletive] about what you’re doing. And you ain’t doing [expletive]. And this is an example of it. I gave it to Jerome. This is not child’s work, ok,” Jackson Lee said.

This is the kind of speech you get from a woman who wants our speech to be criminalized for being “racist.”

She has behaved like this for many years:

[I]n 2011, a Daily Caller report cited a number of former staff members as saying she used demeaning language and name-calling when addressing them.

The way this beast treats her own staff reflects how the rest of us are treated by the bloated federal government she personifies.

Brace your ears — liberal language alert:

Bill Would Criminalize Criticism of Non-Whites

Sheila Jackson Lee’s hatred of America’s core population and determination to snuff out fundamental liberties make her the quintessential Democrat. She has introduced the quintessential Democrat legislation. It criminalizes “conspiracy to commit white supremacy.” This includes criticism of non-whites:

The legislation, H.R.61 “Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023,” introduced last Monday by Democratic congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, seeks to “prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime.”

The bill defines conspiracy to commit white supremacy as “advancing white supremacy, white supremacist ideology, antagonism based on ‘replacement theory’, or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-White person or group.”

Needless to say, Chuck Schumer will get a pass for admitting that “replacement theory” is not theory but a Democrat strategy to replace the American population. Laws like this are meant to be enforced selectively.

If you think Merrick Garland’s Injustice Department and its FBI enforcement arm are scary now, stand by:

[The bill] also calls for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to gain “authority to conduct operations and activities pursuant” to what it deems “necessary and appropriate to interdict, mitigate, or prevent such action from culminating in violent activity.”

Just as liberals regard Black Lives Matter and Antifa violence as speech, they regard speech they disagree with as violence. But there is no need to wait for actual bloodshed when the FBI can take steps to prevent it by suppressing speech alleged to encourage it.

The First Amendment will not last much longer than the Second if Democrats consolidate power.

Senate Unanimously Approves Juneteenth Federal Holiday

Eradicating American culture and heritage requires replacing our holidays with new ones that invite us to feel guilty about our history instead of taking pride in it. For example, a day devoted to racial guilt has been put forth to eventually displace the Fourth of July. The Senate passed a bill yesterday to make Juneteenth a federal holiday:

The resolution, introduced by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, passed by unanimous consent. House lawmakers are also expected to approve the bipartisan legislation.

Sure they will. It may even be unanimous again.

Note that Cornyn sports an “R” after his name. He didn’t just fail to resist this obscene gesture — he sponsored it. The company of the radical leftists Markey and Jackson Lee doesn’t bother him. Maybe he thinks he can get liberals to vote Republican.

In the past year, black supremacists and their fellow travelers have rioted many hundreds of times, injuring thousands of police officers and causing $billions in damages. The response by the US Senate is to reward them by devoting a national holiday to obsessing on the oppression of their distant ancestors, which is the fulcrum of reality according to their toxic ideology.

The inevitable result of rewarding the worst rioting in American history will be more riots whenever a pretext presents itself.

The bill appears to have been explicitly intended as an offering to the rioters:

The Cornyn-backed bill was first introduced in the Senate in 2020 following nationwide protests against racial injustice after the death of George Floyd.

Out of 100 senators, the closest to a patriot is Ron Johnson (R-WI).

Johnson was the lone senator to object to the legislation, arguing in July 2020 that the bill would place an undue burden on taxpayers by requiring them to fund another paid holiday for federal employees.

Rather than defend American history from the propaganda war leftists are waging against it, Johnson pointed out that yet another day off for federal parasites would cost taxpayers $600 million per year. Then he dropped his objection, confirming that there is not even one member of the Senate willing to stand up for his country against political correctness.

Juneteenth is celebrated on June 19 to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union Army general Gordon Granger declared the abolishment of slavery in Galveston, Texas, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

That was a positive development in 1865. Abruptly making it into a federal holiday 156 years later is the farthest thing from positive. The purpose is to tighten the focus on slavery as the only meaningful aspect of American history, in accordance with the 1619 Project, critical race theory, and the endless stream of anti-Caucasian, anti-American bile vomited onto us by the schools, the media, and the government.

Charges Dropped Against Portland Rioters

Representative Sheila Jackson Lee grouses that only about 300 people have been imprisoned for alleged participation in the Capitol Riot; she thinks it should be more like 40,000. Meanwhile, regarding the far more destructive riots that occurred literally every night for months on end in Portland,

As the Biden administration has taken the reins of the Department of Justice, the feds have dismissed dozens of charges against violent rioters in Portland, Oregon. They have dropped charges such as assault on a law enforcement officer, arson, and other violent crimes. Many have been dropped with prejudice, meaning they can’t be re-litigated in the future. According to a local news outlet, federal prosecutors have dismissed more than one-third of the pending charges from last summer’s violent protests in Portland.

More dismissals are expected. It looks like few if any Antifa or Black Lives Matter thugs will still be imprisoned a year from now for crimes committed during the riots in Portland.

The Department of Justice stepped in as riots terrorized Portland throughout the summer of 2020, and Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt announced he would not prosecute most riot crimes committed in Portland. … Attorney General William Barr instructed federal prosecutors to aggressively pursue rioters across the country…

But with the ascension of Biden’s handlers to power, the same type of left-wing extremists who run Portland run the federal government.

As noted at Hot Air,

This looks less like an evidentiary problem and more like a political decision by the incoming administration. One has to wonder whether the Biden administration will treat the January 6 rioters with the same charity… [A]ttempts to pick and choose enforcement like this will only bring on more violence from the fringes on both sides.

This is not a bug but a feature. Political violence is all good, from the viewpoint of Biden’s handlers.

Violence by the Right will be inflated out of proportion and hyped by the media/Democrat Party. For example, only one person died violently in the Capitol Riot, and that was the unarmed Ashli Babbitt, who was shot by the police. Yet the liberal establishment continues to exploit it aggressively.

Violence by the Left intimidates people into silence and compliance, as radicals remake America into a very different country, in which the fundamental principle of equality before the law no longer exists.
