Biden Calls on Media to Defend Him From Impeachment

Everyone understands that the establishment media and the Democratic Party are two heads on the same hydra. But apparently not everyone understands that it is bad form to admit that out loud, because it exposes what the liberal establishment calls Our Democracy as a corrupt farce. Or maybe the Biden Regime is just desperate:

Ian Sams, a White House spokesman, issued a memo to editorial leadership at U.S. news organizations that insisted the time has come for the “media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies.”

The job of the media is not to investigate whether Biden is a criminal, but to smear those who bring his crimes to light. After all, the media is overwhelmingly comprised of Democrats.

As for Democrats who operate in the government wing of the liberal establishment,

Democrats in Congress quickly rallied behind the president after the impeachment inquiry got announced.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) grunted that Democrats “will defend President Biden until the very end.”

Don’t expect any curiosity as to whether Biden is guilty of influence peddling. Everyone knows the answer to that. The only question is whether he will continue to get away with it.

John Fetterman Reacts to Impeachment Inquiry

The mentally ill slob dressed to clean his garage in summer heat is a Democrat Senator. Watch him react to the possibility of the leader of his party finally getting impeached for flagrant criminal activity:

That’s how seriously powerful Democrats take the high offices in which they have been so foolishly entrusted.

MSNBC has floated Fetterman for POTUS. Why not? It is the only way Democrats can top Joe Biden as an insult to the country.

Maine Follows Colorado Across Ballot Rubicon

We knew that Democrats using the tinpot dictatorship tactic of removing their chief opponent from the ballot was not going to stop in Colorado. Maine — whose Secretary of State Shenna Bellows is as hyperpartisan as Colorado’s all-Democrat supreme court — follows suit:

The state’s top election official removed the Republican frontrunner from the [primary] ballot, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits elected officials from holding office if they committed an insurrection.

That Trump committed insurrection by explicitly telling supporters who later rioted to protest “peacefully” is a popular talking point in leftist fever swamps. Trump was acquitted of this preposterous charge by the US Senate.

Speaking of the Constitution, it requires each state to provide a republican form of government. However, this form of government is among the many American traditions the leftists comprising the Democratic Party aim to eradicate. Single party rule is more conducive to imposing their agenda.

A few states run by radicals cannot prevent Trump from being the GOP nominee. Ham-fistedly taking him off the ballot in the primaries is a trial balloon, to test whether the population is still American enough to be enraged. If not, expect future ballots to feature Democrats only. As they incessantly remind us, opposition is a threat to “Our Democracy.”

Vivek Ramaswamy observes the obvious:

“This is what an actual threat to democracy looks like. The system is hellbent on taking this man out, the Constitution be damned.”

Watch in astonishment at the Democrat capacity for hypocrisy as Bellows quacks righteously about the sacred “will of the voters”:

Wealthy Leftists Wage Lawfare Against Energy Industry

Leftists are systematically destroying the American energy industry, the better to reduce us to shivering in the dark. As with most devastation inflicted by Democrats, this has been accomplished largely through regulation, which is increasingly driven by lawfare — as practiced by the California firm Sher Edling.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. James Comer (R-KY) pull back some drywall to reveal the termites busily destroying the framework of the economy:

Cruz and Comer noted that Ann Carlson, the current acting administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), worked as a consultant for Sher Edling before she joined the Biden administration.

Carlson has pushed regulation meant to deprive us of proper automobiles and force us into unsafe, unaffordable, unreliable, and often unusable glorified golf carts, as an intermediary step toward abolishing independent transport for the hoi polloi altogether.

Fox News Digital previously reported that she helped raise money from donors for the firm’s litigation, a scheme that involved famed actor Leonardo DiCaprio

Rich leftists like DiCaprio travel by superyacht while demanding the rest of us live like peasants because the climate.

Regarding the lawfare,

Since 2016, the year Sher Edling was founded, the firm has pursued aggressive climate-related litigation on behalf of Delaware, Minnesota, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York City, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Baltimore, Honolulu and several local governments across the country. The first-of-their-kind lawsuits allege major oil companies like Chevron, ExxonMobil and Shell have deceived the public about climate change.

Leftist ideology dictates that the fossil fuels that keep us alive by serving as the lifeblood of the economy make it be too warm outside. Anyone who fails to echo this dogma is a purveyor of misinformation.

This attack on our standard of living has been funded by dark money:

According to tax filings, between 2017 and 2020, the secretive Collective Action Fund for Accountability, Resilience, and Adaptation (CAF) wired more than $5.2 million to Sher Edling. Then, in 2021 alone, CAF funneled another $3 million to the firm.

Like the MSM, CAF appears to be an unofficial branch of the Democratic Party:

CAF switched its fiscal sponsorship from the Resources Legacy Fund to the New Venture Fund (NVF), a nonprofit that is part of the left-wing Arabella Advisors network and which boasts deep connections to big-dollar Democratic Party donors, sometime in 2021.

Money pours into CAF from pernicious left-wing foundations, of which there are many, including the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.

“Some left-wing groups funnel millions to law firms to sue companies across the country on questionable legal grounds,” Comer remarked during a Sept. 13 Oversight Committee hearing on third-party litigation funding. “They are trying to use the courts to put these companies out of business or limit their ability to bring new products to market.”

Comer continues:

“These groups know that their tactics and goals are too extreme for the American people to support. So, rather than use the electoral process, they are implementing their agenda through litigation against both the public and private sectors.”

Democrats favor the democratic approach only so long as they find it expedient. Their agenda is so conspicuously malevolent that not even the complicit media can make it palatable to voters.

John Fetterman Weeps With Self-Pity

Even now, our Democrat rulers still manage to hit new lows, which the liberal media celebrates:

In a Thursday hearing on disability access held by the Senate Special Committee on Aging, Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) teared up while recounting his experiences after a stroke last year impacted his ability to process language. While speaking before the committee, Fetterman held up his phone and showed the transcription app he uses, explaining that it “allows me to fully participate in this meeting and conversations with my children and interacting with my staff.”

The mental patient Fetterman is so cognitively disabled that he cannot hold a conversation without technological assistance.

You could feel sorry for the guy if he wasn’t asking you to feel sorry for him — and if he didn’t impose himself on us as a senator despite his conspicuous unfitness for the position.

The liberal media spin:

Republicans and some members of the media spent much of last year framing Fetterman’s struggles after his stroke as a reason he shouldn’t become a senator. But if anything, his impassioned and personal reflections at the hearing this week show the importance of ensuring voices and experiences like his are represented in Congress.

John Fetterman is defective; therefore, he is holy according to the liberal religion.

The guy cannot even dress himself. He cannot watch television without his language-processing app. Anyone who can accomplish these tasks is more fit to be a senator that Fetterman — or as he sometimes calls himself, Fetterwoman.

If you don’t like being ruled over by a mentally defective moonbat, prepare to be crybullied for your insensitivity.

CBC Applauds as Joe Biden Calls Rapper “Boy”

Abandon all hope of Joe Biden being held accountable for corruption. As the Clinton clan can confirm, laws do not apply to the most powerful Democrats. Imagine thinking Biden might land in Leavenworth where he belongs for influence peddling when he can get away with crimes that are considered far more serious in our culture, like calling a rapper “boy” — right to the face of the congressional black supremacist contingent:

LL Cool J, whose birth name is James Todd Smith, and MC Lyte received Phoenix Award for their musical contributions at the annual awards dinner in Washington D.C. during the CBC’s 52nd Annual Legislative Conference.

“Two of the great artists of our time representing the groundbreaking legacy of hip hop in America , LL Jay Cool J, uhhh…” he said as the crowd laughed at the gaffe.

“By the way that boy — that man’s got biceps bigger than my thighs,” Biden added.

The Congressional Black Caucus applauded. Hey, it was just a gaffe. So long as the racial favoritism continues, everything is copacetic. However, if Biden were a Republican this would have resulted in impeachment.

Biden even called Maryland’s Historic First Black Governor “boy” earlier this year without repercussion. With the Democratic Party, membership has privileges.

What They Mean by “Extreme”

Democrats howl in rage when their agenda is impeded by what they call “extremists.” We are left with no doubt that extremists constitute a dire threat to Our Democracy and must be neutralized by whatever means prove effective. What exactly is an extremist?

The most obvious example is those who protested against election fraud on January 6, 2021, some of whom behaved foolishly and unlawfully. That tiny handful of people soon found their way into solitary confinement. But there are more recent examples of extremism.

One is those who want Joe Biden investigated for the flagrant corruption that has characterized his political career:

The White House blasted Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) move Tuesday to direct House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden, calling it “extreme politics” of the worst kind.

Another is those who would honor their oath by upholding the US Constitution:

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN Primetime,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) refused to say whether or not New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) can use a public health emergency declaration to unilaterally change the state’s gun laws, but said “mayors and our governors have the hardest job in the world right now when it comes to gun violence” because “an extremist United States Supreme Court” has prevented them from enacting good policies like completely banning carrying guns.

In contrast, Michelle Lujan Grisham is not an extremist, despite having committed a federal crime that it is important she be prosecuted for by depriving her constituents of their constitutional rights — or at least, she is no more an extremist than her Democrat colleagues, who will impose the same tyranny on a federal basis the moment they think they can pull it off without too much Lexington & Concord-style bloodshed.

New Mexico Suspends Constitutional Gun Rights

As every schoolchild should know, the right to bear arms is prominently guaranteed in the US Constitution. Yet this fundamental right has been suspended in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County by decree of New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham:

Grisham announced the order, made through the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH), to ban non-law enforcement personnel from carrying firearms in certain areas, either openly or concealed, regardless of whether any individual gun owner has a permit to carry. The public health decree will remain in effect for 30 days…

As Covid tyranny made clear, Big Government acknowledges no limits in matters of public health. Consequently, we can expect every aspect of life to be reframed by the government/media in public health terms, so that our rights can be ignored. If preventing law-abiding citizens from defending themselves (and others) can be said to promote public health, what couldn’t be?

You don’t have to be a legal expert like Jonathan Turley to understand that the decree “is flagrantly unconstitutional under existing Second Amendment precedent.” Democrats violate the Constitution deliberately, revving up their base to support rendering it null and void by packing the Supreme Court. They are also testing the resolve of the resistance, and experimenting as to what people will put up with before waking up to the fact that the Democratic Party is the enemy of the United States.

Encouragingly, there has been immediate pushback. Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen says he is “wary of … the potential risks posed by prohibiting law-abiding citizens from their constitutional right to self-defense.” State Rep. John Block has sensibly called for Lujan Grisham’s impeachment and removal.

I know just where to take her from the governor’s mansion. Depriving Americans of their constitution rights is a crime punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment.

Biden Doubles Down on War on Energy

Virtually everyone agrees that to the extent we have a fair election tomorrow, Democrats are in for a drubbing. This is because they are too arrogant and/or politically incompetent to back down from their malevolent radicalism. Three days before the midterms, Biden was still croaking that he will continue to drive up prices and hamstring the economy with his maniacal war on energy:

Biden vowed to shut down coal plants “all across America” during a speech on Friday.

If the Chinese tried to do this, it would dwarf Pearl Harbor as an act of war. For all we know, the Chinese are behind it — through their asset, the Big Guy.

“So it’s going to become a wind generation,” Biden said at an event in Carlsbad, California.

Wind turbines are highly effective at killing eagles, but no reasonable person will claim they can meet more than a tiny fraction of our energy needs. The limousine leftists comprising the Democrat Party/mainstream media want us shivering in the dark.

Biden proclaimed, “We’re going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar power.”

Think prices are high now? Wait until there is no gasoline, and the only electricity is from wind and solar, so that most of us will have none.

It’s as if Democrats intend to provoke a civil war.

Even Joe Manchin has had enough, gasping,

“President Biden’s comments are not only outrageous and divorced from reality, they ignore the severe economic pain the American people are feeling because of rising energy costs.”

Manchin characterized the energy sector job losses that Biden is “being cavalier” about causing as “offensive and disgusting.” But he could hardly be surprised.

Biden previously proclaimed that he would shut down the coal industry.

For example, Biden stated in a primary debate back in July 2019 that the coal industry as well as fracking would be “eliminated.” People foolishly voted for him anyway. The consequences are unfolding.

Manchin still has a knife sticking out of his back from when he shafted the country and was shafted in return by his fellow Democrats after he voted for a slightly watered-down version of the Green New Deal — the Inflation “Reduction” Act — which is predictably crushing us with inflation. Although it beggars belief that he thought other Democrats could be trusted, forgiveness may be in order, so long as he repents and switches parties.

We are past the point where anyone who means America well can remain a Democrat. It is the party of the brie-munching globalist left, implementing an agenda that is, to put it mildly, not in our interests.

Exhibit A in the case for impeachment.

Selling Our Strategic Oil Reserves to ChiComs Is Treason

Nothing provokes like weakness. While our military “leaders” focus on promoting the LGBT agenda, communist China has exploited our self-inflicted frailty. A move on Taiwan could be imminent, possibly triggering a war between the USA and China. At a time like this, depleting our emergency petroleum reserves while aggressively repressing new oil production is borderline treasonous. Letting China have the oil clearly crosses that border:

Biden’s Energy Department in April announced the sale of 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation. That company, which is commonly known as Sinopec, is wholly owned by the Chinese government.

Unipec has also been buying up Russian oil. If war breaks out soon, the ChiComs won’t be caught short on energy.

No worries; American troops will be equipped with electric vehicles, which should prove highly effective in combat as soon as the moonbats in charge come up with long enough extension cords.

Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is tied to Sinopec. In 2015, a private equity firm he cofounded bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing.

Corruption, arrogance, and stupidity. Take all three to the last extreme and you have Joe “Not a Joke” Biden, the guy the liberal establishment saw fit to put in charge.

Biden campaigned heavily against the oil and gas industry in 2020, promising to “end fossil fuel.” He went on to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline and implement a moratorium on new gas leases on federal land during his first month in office.

He continues to wage relentless war on the American energy sector, driving gas prices and consequently inflation in general into the stratosphere.

Now we find out he is selling our strategic reserves to our worst enemy.

Biden is a catastrophic failure as president, but at least the Big Guy is giving his ChiCom paymasters their money’s worth.

His impeachment must be followed immediately by trial for treason, followed in turn by the suitable punishment.

Peter Navarro Subjected to Show Arrest

Show trials (e.g., Derek Chauvin) aren’t new. Stalin was famous for them. Democrats have expanded the concept by introducing the show arrest.

Remember the arrest of Roger Stone? The Deep State colluded with CNN so that the nation could see an old man terrorized by the equivalent of SEAL Team 6 in the small hours of the morning for opposing Democrats.

Dems followed that up Friday with the arrest of top Trump advisor Peter Navarro:

Navarro was indicted by a federal grand jury and taken into custody for contempt of Congress charges stemming from his shunning of requests from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

As with Stone, simply letting him know through his lawyer that he had to come in would not have made for good theater.

Navarro will not be intimidated into submission easily:

He levied scathing accusations that law enforcement used leg irons and stuck him in a cell when they arrested him when addressing the press outside the courthouse.

Leg irons, basically for complaining about election fraud. Can we call it a banana republic yet?

Adding insult to injury, they threw him in John Hinckley’s cell. Politics is all about symbolism, much of it contrived and mendacious.

The indictment comes on the heels of a lawsuit Navarro filed against the Jan. 6 committee, arguing it is illegitimate due to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appointing Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) as its top Republican.

When it comes to hyping the January 6 farce into an “insurrection” and weaponizing it against the GOP, Liz Cheney is no more Republican than Adam Kinzinger — or Pelosi herself.

Assistant Democrats Cheney and Kinzinger are the only “Republicans” on the committee. This violates the resolution that created the committee, arguably rendering its subpoenas invalid.

Navarro had other reasons not to comply with the committee’s demands:

“My hands are tied in this matter as the Executive Privilege asserted by President Trump is not my privilege to waive. The Committee has a firm legal obligation to negotiate this matter directly with Trump and his attorneys before attempting to coerce and bully me into cooperating with its highly partisan effort. If the president waives privilege, I will appear,” Navarro said in a statement at the time.

But all things January 6 are about theater, not rule of law.

The Jan. 6 committee is poised to enter a new phase of its inquiry as it prepares to host a series of public hearings over the summer intending to reinvigorate public interest in the Capitol riot.

Just in case there are no more school shootings between now and November to keep the public distracted from what Democrats have been doing to the country.

If convicted, Navarro faces between 30 days and one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000 per charge.

At least we aren’t to the part yet where they just take opponents out and shoot them.

Breitbart notes an interesting coincidence:

The arrest came one day after Navarro appeared on left-wing MSNBC to promise that he would lead efforts to promote the impeachment of President Joe Biden if Republicans take Congress in the midterm elections, which they are expected to do.

Navarro lives right by FBI headquarters. But they followed him to the airport and arrested him there, so that he could be frog-marched in front of the public. What do you expect of a party that gets some of its most enthusiastic backing from Hollywood?

Ghost of Kiev Dead for Good?

Someone get word to Disinformation Commissarina Nina Jankowicz. There has been a major outbreak of disinformation regarding the Ghost of Kiev, who even the government of Ukraine admits was never a real person:

The Ghost of Kiev should haunt anyone tempted to take the firehose of propaganda regarding Ukraine at face value. The liberal establishment has spent months pretending that a local conflict on the other side of the world is more important that galloping inflation and the massive invasion of our own country. Its motives are not benign, as confirmed by crying clown Adam Kinzinger’s continued demands for a direct military conflict with Russia, which would probably result in nuclear war.

Further confirmation is provided by Nancy Pelosi’s recent junket to Kiev, which consisted of far left congresscritters no doubt negotiating what Zelensky will give them in return for $billions upon $billions of our money. Ukraine’s most lucrative exports may consist of lies about Trump to retroactively support the first impeachment farce and silence on Joe Biden regarding his involvement in his bagman Hunter’s illicit activities.

Total Failure

Biden’s absolute failure in Afghanistan is summed up in just over a minute:

There is no hope of Biden or other leftist political hacks like Antony Blinken, Mark Milley, and Lloyd Austin taking responsibility for this debacle. To them, Afghanistan was a success, because it helped them import tens of thousands of needy unvetted refugees likely to be dependent on the government and therefore to vote Democrat.

The American people need to take responsibility for the greater debacle of letting them take power. It needs to be clear that Democrats will be held accountable for this, and that Biden must be pried out of the White House as soon as possible, whether by the 25th Amendment or impeachment. The USA will not make it through 4 years of this intact.
