Profiles in Gerontocracy: Eleanor Holmes Norton

Posted on by

How senile can moonbats get before even other Democrats acknowledge they are unfit to rule over us? Joe Biden gave us an idea. So does DC’s congressional delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton:

Norton, 88, was duped by multiple suspects Thursday who went to her Washington, DC, home claiming to be HVAC workers, according to an internal police report obtained by NBC News4.

The swindlers charged $4,362 to the Democratic congresswoman’s credit card without performing any work.

If that’s how easily she is parted from her own money, imagine how easily she would be parted from ours.

Norton’s “caretaker/power of attorney was not at residence” at the time the group showed up, which was just after 3:30 p.m., the report states, noting that it was Norton’s “caretaker” who called DC police after noticing the unscheduled arrival at the congresswoman’s home.

You can see why she needs a caretaker. According to the police report, the 88-year-old Democrat suffers from dementia.

The congresswoman is described as being “unable to function independently,” leaning on aides, close friends and family members for help, the [New York Times] reported, noting that she rarely attends House Oversight Committee meetings and appears at times not to recognize people she has known for years.

And yet:

Norton (D-DC) told Axios last month that she has no plans to leave Congress despite the mounting concerns about her mental acuity.

“Of course,” she responded, when asked if she was running for re-election.

Anyone doubt she will win in DC?

Good thing she can’t vote on the final passage of bills. Unfortunately, the moment Democrats have the leverage to push it through, they will make the District of Columbia a state, as supported by Joe Biden. Eleanor Holmes Norton will become a regular congressmember, and two more of similar quality will be senators.

Democrats Trolled by White House Timeline

Posted on by

Just a few years ago, Democrats used the fentanyl overdose of a career criminal as a pretext to deface or tear down hundreds of statues of major historic figures out of hatred of America and its history. But now that Trump is building a privately funded ballroom in the remote East Wing, they have discovered a reverence for American heritage so intense that altering the White House even to make improvements sends them into a hebephrenic rage. In response to their newfound patriotism, the Trump Administration has released a timeline celebrating the history of the White House.

Via Fox News:

The White House website as of Thursday includes a “major events timeline” of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., stretching back to 1791, when plans for the iconic building were first mapped out. The timeline includes a series of benchmarks such as the addition of the north portico from 1829 to 1830, and the addition of the Oval Office in 1909 under the Taft administration and the “total reconstruction” of the White House interior under the Truman administration.

Other historical milestones noted on the timeline include:

1998
Bill Clinton Scandal
President Bill Clinton’s affair with intern Monica Lewinsky was exposed, leading to White House perjury investigations. The Oval Office trysts fueled impeachment for obstruction.

2012
Muslim Brotherhood Visit
Obama hosts members of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group that promotes Islamist extremism and has ties to Hamas. The Muslim Brotherhood is a designated terrorist organization by nearly a dozen nations.

2023
Cocaine Discovered
During Biden’s administration, a U.S. Secret Service agent discovered a small, zippered plastic bag containing cocaine in the West Wing entrance lobby. Speculation has pointed to Hunter Biden, an admitted drug user. Additional evidence includes a laptop, seized in 2019, which contains photos of frequent drug use alongside emails about foreign business dealings (Ukraine, China) involving his father, Joe, while he was Vice President.

2023–2024
Trans Day of Visibility
The Biden/Harris administration hosts transexuals at the White House in 2023, and goes on to establish the “The Transgender Day of Visibility” on the same day as Easter Sunday in 2024.

People say Democrats aren’t good for much, but they sure are fun to troll:

California Has Issued 62,000 CDLs to Illegal Aliens

Posted on by

Migrants who do not belong on our highways have been killing Americans by driving big rigs recklessly and incompetently. Prominent recent examples are Harjinder Singh and Jashanpreet Singh, who killed three people apiece after acquiring their commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) in the sanctuary state California. Now we learn that the erstwhile Golden State has issued 62,000 CDLs to illegal aliens.

For real — 62,000:

It is not enough to escape the insane asylum into which California has degenerated under single-party Democrat rule. Harjinder Singh did his killing in Florida. No highway in America is safe so long as malevolent kooks of the Gavin Newsom stripe flout immigration laws and issue CDLs.

Migrants Work Illegally as Corrections Officers in Seattle Area

Posted on by

Illegal aliens might finally be finding their way to jail in moonbattery-addled Seattle, seat of King County. The only problem is that they may be there as employees:

[T]he King County Department of Adult & Juvenile Detention (DAJD) has publicly acknowledged that at least 38 of its corrections officers were hired and certified despite failing to meet the immigration-eligibility requirement under state law. And the county is continuing to employ most of them in the positions they were illegally hired to.

Rather than comply with the law, DAJD is reportedly planning to challenge it.

The revelation comes after a whistleblower filed a complaint alleging the questionable hires may top 100, raising urgent questions about DAJD’s hiring practices, leadership oversight, and potential public-safety consequences. …

[The Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission]’s rules clearly state that the hiring agency bears responsibility for reviewing employment eligibility under RCW 43.101.095 and for submitting a “Notice of Hire” under penalty of perjury.

If you can’t find respect for the law even among the people running the prisons, you are unlikely to find it elsewhere.

Secret Service Needs Urgent Purge of DEI

Posted on by

Considering how open liberals have been about their intention to keep trying until they manage to assassinate Trump, it is a matter of urgency to purge the Secret Service of incompetent DEI hires and other obviously unfit agents so as to restore the agency’s previous standard of excellence. Susan Crabtree finds there is still work to do:

• In early October, a Secret Service Uniformed Division officer fell asleep in public while providing security for the U.N. General Assembly and left his fully automatic rifle unattended while he went to the restroom.

• After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, a Secret Service agent who attributed Kirk’s murder to “karma” in a Facebook post and criticized efforts to eliminate DEI priorities in the federal government was disciplined and placed on administrative leave.

• Over Labor Day weekend, the Secret Service physically screened a man’s bag but missed a Glock pistol and let him into the Virginia course where Trump was golfing. …

• In mid-September, pro-Palestinian protesters confronted Trump at a D.C. restaurant, hurling epithets and calling him “the Hitler of our time” for more than 30 seconds before Trump told his detail to escort them out.

• In late May, a physical fight between two female officers outside of former President Barack Obama’s D.C. residence was caught on video.

Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle pushed with all her might to replace merit with DEI. She was forced down after the agency let Thomas Matthew Crooks get off eight shots at Trump in Butler, PA. Yet her chief of staff Darnelly De Jesus is still there:

[Current director Sean] Curran has decided to keep De Jesus on his assistant director team. In that role, she oversees all agency misconduct cases and is ultimately charged with signing off on all disciplinary recommendations. …

De Jesus is one of eight assistant directors who comprise the Secret Service’s top-tier leadership team, aside from the deputy director and chief of staff.

De Jesus was…

…one of the agency’s leading architects of and advocates for DEI recruiting and promotion policies.

It seems doubtful that her priorities have changed. She is in a position to make it difficult to purge the Secret Service of DEI hires.

Trump may be counting on God’s grace to keep him alive through the ongoing wave of leftist violence. But God helps those who help themselves.

Democrats Threaten ICE Agents With Arrest, Create Tool to Finger Them for Assassination

Posted on by

By waging war against ICE in defense of illegal immigration, Democrats are crossing the Rubicon into open insurrection.

Where they have consolidated power, ICE officers could face arrest for enforcing the law.

In Chicago,

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings ordered that ICE officers are barred from arresting migrants at courthouses if they don’t have a warrant. He also ordered that federal law enforcement can be arrested if they violate his orders.

Cummings was appointed by Joe Biden, so it is unsurprising that he advances the Biden strategy of securing Democrat control by displacing the American population with millions of Third World immigrants on an illegal basis.

Cummings stated that courthouses must be places where witnesses and suspects feel safe.

No doubt criminal foreign invaders feel plenty safe in courthouses run by kooks like Cummings.

In California,

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) joined with California Democratic Rep. Kevin Mullin (CA-15) in a statement threatening ICE agents with arrest if they conduct immigration enforcement actions in the Bay Area.

Still more alarming is Democrats’ Master Doxxer to finger ICE agents for assassination:

California and House Democrats are creating a “master tracker” for activists to report ICE agents, potentially creating a centralized doxxing tool, endangering ICE, and possibly even violating federal law.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) announced the creation of the controversial and condemnable online tool during a press conference with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Monday. …

The tracker is part of a larger project involving not just Garcia, his fellow California leftists, and House Oversight Committee Democrats, but also Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) as they “investigate” the Department of Homeland Security.

Did someone mention federal law?

8 U.S. Code § 1324 condemns anyone who conceals or shields illegal aliens, while 18 U.S. Code § 111 forbids anyone from impeding, resisting, or intimidating ICE agents prosecuting their duties.

Mexican cartels effectively allied with the Democratic Party have offered bounties on ICE agents. Moonbat terrorists have targeted their families.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has promised to “prosecute those who dox our agents to the fullest extent of the law.” This needs to happen before Democrats get ICE agents and their families killed.

Pritzker Beclowns Himself With Preposterous Lie

Posted on by

It is hard to believe that even true-believer Democrats could isolate themselves from reality enough to believe the outrageous lies JB Pritzker vomits in a continuous stream. His arrogance is astonishing as he claims that the stratospheric murder rate in Chicago is not even in the top 30 among big cities (it is currently #10 among major cities overall and #1 among the 10 largest). When Bret Baier presents him with receipts, he resorts to still sillier lies:

The reason Jelly Belly has been doing everything in his power to prevent Trump from restoring law and order in Chicago is that Democrats are bringing crime down, whereas Donald Trump is doing the opposite. He said that with a straight face.

If the Chicago murder rate has been cut in half over the past 4 years as he claims, imagine what it would have been like previously. Al Capone would be afraid to set foot in the place.
