Not Even Joe Scarborough Buys Lib Spin on DC

Liberal spin that crime is not a problem in DC and that Trump is oppressing the poor and favored minorities by reestablishing law & order is not cutting it — even with far from conservative Joe Scarborough:

Give it up, Democrats. When you’ve lost Joe Scarborough, you’ve lost.

Moonbat Roadkill: Thump Thump Bill

As a rule, we already have more than enough rules. But sometimes a legislator proposes a law likely to make the country a better place:

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) wants radical left protesters engaged in the “terrorist practice of blocking roads as a form of political speech” to face the same repercussions they do in Florida.

That is, they can be run over. He refers to his Reinstating Orderly Access for Drivers (ROAD) Act as “thump thump.” That is the sound moonbats make under your tires.

As Fine observes,

“When a pregnant woman can’t get to the hospital to have a baby, when an ambulance can’t get through traffic to get to the hospital, that’s a form of terrorism.”

Police can’t be everywhere; nor would we want them to be. Sometimes terrorists need to be dealt with directly by the citizens they terrorize.

Like a lot of things since Ron DeSantis came into office, it works in Florida, where moonbats no longer block roads to make their nutty points due to a similar law that has been in place since 2021.

Fine explains why this is a partisan issue:

“Our party is the party of law and order, and it is anarchy to block roads.”

As for the leftists who might end up with tire tracks across their faces,

“If you if you stand in the middle of a highway, you shouldn’t be surprised when you get run over.”

The bill may sound extreme, but giving liberals (and their Islamist allies) the power to shut down transportation at will is more extreme.

Bessent Wants to Stop Insider Trading by Congress

The streets of DC are not the only manifestation of decline that the Trump Administration has slated for long overdue cleanup:

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declared on Wednesday that he will begin advocating for a ban on individual stock trading in Congress, arguing that major portfolio gains by lawmakers undermine voter confidence in the system.

Specifically,

Bessent, a former hedge fund manager, was referring to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) — both of whom are estimated to be worth millions of dollars.

You don’t make that kind of money in politics by relying on your salary. The arrogance of leftists like Pelosi and Wyden is almost as astonishing as their greed.

The Swamp will not submit passively to drainage:

[J]ust last month, senators shot down a measure seeking an inquiry into [Nasty Pelosi’s] trades.

Most alarming is the possibility that corrupt pols not only utilize insider knowledge of upcoming legislation to achieve an advantage over the rest of us, but actually craft the legislation to pad their personal fortunes at our expense.

Naturist Christians

All manner of degeneracy can be painted over with a veneer of Christianity, including furry fandom, transvestitism, drag queen exhibitionism, homosexuality, more homosexuality, sex toys, swinger debauchery, polyamory, and even witchcraft. You had to know nudists would jump on the trend.

Introducing Naturist Christians:

If you are struggling to reconcile your faith with naturism, wondering what the Bible has to say about social nudity, or simply wanting to share your values with others, you will find your voice is welcome here. … We are committed to a Christian, international, family-centered, natural and naturist set of Core Values.

The term “family-centered” is not reassuring in this context.

Naturist Christians proudly affirms its legal standing as a 501(c)(3) religious corporation. If everything is a valid religion, then nothing is a valid religion.

Socialist Sun Fresh Grocery Store Goes Under

To the surprise of no informed or intelligent person, Kansas City’s socialist Sun Fresh grocery store has gone under:

The city purchased the Linwood Shopping Center where Sun Fresh is in 2016 and opened the grocery store in 2018 in an effort to provide more options for residents in the area. Kansas City spent more than $17 million in taxpayer money acquiring and renovating the Sun Fresh market.

Despite its efforts, Sun Fresh has been plagued with empty shelves and crime, leading employees to reportedly carry tasers. Last year, the Kansas City Council approved spending $750,000 in emergency city funding in an attempt to keep the store open.

Socialism is a black hole down which an infinite amount of other people’s money can be poured to no avail.

Meanwhile, in New York City:

In a TikTok video, [socialist mayoral candidate Zohran] Mamdani said that his city-run grocery stores will “operate without a profit motive,” instead of focusing on “price gouging” as he alleged some private stores do. He claimed that without having to pay rent or property taxes, these city-run stores would buy and sell at wholesale prices, centralize warehousing and distribution and be able to offer New York residents lower prices than privately-owned stores in the city.

Socialist grocery stores will not work in New York any better than in Kansas City. But maybe if Democrats seize power at the national level and force all the other stores out of business, this will turn out better than it did in the USSR.

Beto Headed Behind Bars?

Democrat politicians are accustomed to never being held accountable for the crimes they commit. This has resulted in such astonishing arrogance that failed candidate Robert Francis O’Rourke literally shouts “F*** the rules!” while breaking the law. But their days of unaccountability might be over:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has asked a state court clear the way for law enforcement officials to arrest Democrat Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke for allegedly violating a court order barring him from fundraising for the statehouse Democrats who fled Texas to delay the redistricting process for U.S. congressional seats in the state.

Beta has been arrested twice before, but the pampered punk never faced consequences. This time, he could get up to 6 months in jail.

Paxton makes his case:

Meanwhile, the fellow Demorrhoids on whose behalf he was illegally raising funds have declared victory and are slinking back to Texas with their tails between their legs, egg oozing down their slack-jawed faces, their attempt to hamstring the democratic process having failed.

Focus: Looting Taxpayers

Slightly reducing the firehose of spending pouring out of Washington has released a deluge of tears. In metro Detroit, Renaldo Bowles doesn’t like it that federal funding has been denied for the Head Start program at Focus: Hope.

He and his wife work full time, and the program has provided the childcare they desperately need.

Two full-time incomes, yet they cannot pay for their own childcare and must rely on the government to force others to pick up the tab. Maybe taxes are eating up their incomes.

“Folks don’t understand, it basically means you can’t operate,” Portia Roberson, Focus: Hope’s CEO, said on Tuesday. “It’s about $6 million of our budget, and it takes about that amount of money for the 300 kids we’ve been servicing.” …

She held back tears as she implored the room full of parents and community activists to lead a letter-writing campaign to help restore funding.

Hold back your own tears as you do the math. Divide $6 million of other people’s money by 300 kids and you get $20,000 per free babysat child. Big Government has been robbing us.
