Who benefits from letting America be systematically destroyed by a senile left-wing corruptocrat? Some people, but not you. Biden’s own inner circle admits it:

Fox News’ Peter Doocy spoke with Education Secretary Miguel A. Cardona following President Joe Biden’s announcement of a $300 billion student loan debt “forgiveness.”

During the interview, Cardona — after being asked repeatedly by Doocy — finally revealed what many Americans already knew: The student loan handout offers absolutely no benefit to the vast majority of tax-paying Americans who either already paid off their student loans or never borrowed any to begin with.

Doocy: “The people that already paid their student loans … don’t get anything out of this deal.”

Cardona: “That’s right.”

For some to get a free ride, others have to pay for a ride they never took. Democrats refer to this as “fairness.”

College kids who prefer to stick other people with their bills are not the only beneficiaries of Democrat rule. The megarich who use the party to raise welfare recipients for votes the way farmers raise chickens for eggs make out better still. Some even benefit from the economically devastating Inflation “Reduction” Act. Bill Gates, for example:

“Everybody wants to be part of this,” Carmichael Roberts, the head of Bill Gates’s green energy investment fund, gushed. “The calls that I’m getting now — tremendous, already.”

Gates was described as having personally lobbied Senator Manchin and Schumer in “anticipation of a rare moment in which significant federal dollars might be secured for the clean-energy transition.” Billions of those dollars, ripped out of the hands of truck drivers, veterans and small businessmen, will have been “secured” for Gates and his ventures.

Helping the rich get richer and poor stay poor while squeezing the middle class out of existence is the Democrat mission.

As a Bloomberg article described, “This is no hypothetical for Gates. His investments through Breakthrough Energy, the Gates organization that does climate work, has sunk at least tens of millions into green cement startups such as Ecocem, Chement and Brimstone. None have yet reached commercial scale. He saw the bankruptcy filing of a battery startup he backed, Aquion, that might have had a fighting chance if energy-storage tax credits were available.”

As George Carlin would say, “It’s a big club and you ain’t in it”:

The board members and investors of Breakthrough Energy Ventures include Bill Gates, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg, Virgin’s Richard Branson, Facebook billionaire Dustin Moskowitz, Walmart heir Ben Walton, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, along with Chinese Communist tycoon Jack Ma of Alibaba and Saudi Arabia’s Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.

Green energy boondoggles are certain to have no perceptible effect on the supposedly problematic weather. But they do have their advantages:

Where else can you invest a few hundred thousand in lobbying cash and come away with a few hundred billion in subsidies while the middle class pays for it?

As your standard of living deteriorates and your future grows dim, take solace that for the international ultrarich, Democrat rule is working out fine.

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh can tell you all about what kind of people we are up against.

When he was nominated to the Supreme Court, Democrats outrageously lied that he is a serial rapist, producing witnesses that no adult would regard as credible. When it was leaked that he might help restore the integrity of the judicial system by overruling Roe v. Wade, mobs of thugs assailed his home; the White House pointedly refused to condemn this.

In the midst of the siege, an armed moonbat showed up at his house with the admitted intent to kill Kavanaugh. The Democrat-controlled media barely mentioned this. Rather than tone down his rhetoric in the aftermath, Joe Biden egged on the liberal mob to be “viscerally angry.”

Leftist thugs reacted to Roe’s repeal by following orders from prominent Democrat Maxine Waters to harass their opponents in public. Kavanaugh was driven out of a DC restaurant, being forced to escape through a back door rather than eat in peace like a citizen of a civilized country.

The response from an increasingly arrogant White House: “This is what democracy is.”

Seeing is believing:

Now we know what they mean when they repeatedly bark the phrase “our democracy.” They are referring to a system under which anyone who puts up resistance is relentlessly intimidated by goons.

The Biden Regime is encouraging people to violate federal law. But if laws could be used against powerful Democrats, Biden would be in Leavenworth facing a firing squad for treason.

Morton’s Steakhouse now faces the wrath of the mob for daring to serve food to someone leftists don’t like. Moonbats are bombarding it with bad reviews to wreck its reputation.

Other members of the tolerant Democrat base are offering bounties for information on opportunities for the mob to set upon Supreme Court justices who do not vote as they are told:

A liberal protest group is offering cash to anyone who sees the conservative justices of the Supreme Court and provides their location.

The justices targeted by the group ShutDownDC are John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett. The group tweeted that it is willing to give “$50 to anyone who gives a confirmed sighting and $200 if the Justice or Justices are in the same area 30 minutes after their location is given.”

Twitter apparently has no problem with this. It clearly violates the guidelines…

Twitter, the platform on which ShutDownDC announced its “bounty,” does not allow users to “engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so.”

…but with leftists, all ethics are situational. Jordan Peterson has been banned from Twitter for refusing to pretend that Ellen Page is a man. Meanwhile, this is still up on Twitter, despite the attention it has drawn:

Hold on, it gets even more disgusting. Chasten Buttigieg, the homosexual paramour of our supposed Secretary of Transportation, with whom Pete Buttigieg canoodled for months on end instead of showing up for work at the height of the supply chain crisis, approves of the mob’s behavior — and taunts Kavanaugh:

“Sounds like he just wanted some privacy to make his own dining decisions,” [Chasten] Buttigieg tweeted.

Responds Jon Gabriel of Ricochet:

“What happens if MAGA types start showing up where ever you and Pete go? This continued escalation is a dangerous game, especially since Kavanaugh just had an assassination attempt on him. You don’t want the world you’re advocating for.”

Oh yes he does want it, if he is anything like his “husband” Pete and the rest of today’s Democrats. As for what would happen if MAGA types were to stoop to similar thuggery, the ongoing January 6 inquisitions make that clear.

While media promotion of Black Lives Matter was in overdrive, authorities mostly stood down as radical leftists rioted about 570 times over a 3-month period. In contrast, those on the right get arrested for allegedly thinking about rioting:

Thirty-one people affiliated with the white nationalist group Patriot Front were arrested near an annual LGBTQ+ event Saturday in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, police said.

The suspects were booked on suspicion of conspiracy to riot, Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said at an afternoon news conference.

Matt Walsh ought to follow up “What Is a Woman?” with “What Is a White Nationalist?” In this case, some of the white nationalists involved are probably FBI agents trying to engineer another Reichstag moment. The January 6 Committee couldn’t preempt prime time forever, and the feds need to prove they can do better than the farcical Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping ploy.

White said police were made aware in recent days that a number of groups planned to disrupt Pride in the Park, an annual event highlighting civil rights struggles for the LGBTQ+ communities.

We are to believe that the privileged identity group atop the Cultural Marxist Pyramid of Power is oppressed. Preserving that narrative has become increasingly difficult as militant LGBT activists bully society into conforming to their grotesque ideology.

Federal law enforcement partners have been in contact with local police on the matter, the chief said…

No doubt.

The Southern Poverty Law Center identifies Patriot Front as a white nationalist “hate” group.

The SPLC also identifies the Family Research Council as a hate group; that’s what inspired LGBT terrorist Floyd Lee Corkins’ foiled mass shooting. It has listed mild-mannered moderate Ben Carson in its “Extremist Files,” and has denounced the blog Jihad Watch — which exists to draw attention to the violent extremism of Islamic radicals — for “violent extremism.”

In the mainstream media, SPLC is regarded as an objective expert source. Keep that in mind before taking anything the media presents at face value.

On a tip from Bluto.

It is particularly bad news that the maniac who killed 10 people at the King Soopers grocery store in Boulder yesterday does not fit the preferred white male oppressor profile. His name is Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, age 21.

This compounds the tragedy because every terrible event is exploited by the Democrats who run the government/media to advance their pernicious agenda. In contrast to the Atlanta violence, they can’t use this to expand cultural Marxism by pretending white supremacists are killing Asians. So they will use it for something worse: an attack on our fundamental right to defend ourselves.

The Blaze reports on Democrats’ unseemly eagerness:

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), one of the staunchest gun control advocates in Congress, said America must use the Boulder atrocity to take its stand against gun violence. …

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), meanwhile, promised that lawmakers would advance gun control measures in the wake of the Boulder massacre. …

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), lamenting the latest mass tragedy, said gun reform is the only adequate response.

Let’s not forget Queen Nancy Pelosi, who croaks,

“Action is needed now to prevent this scourge from continuing to ravage our communities.”

Democrats don’t like it that we peasants have the independence afforded by cars. If pricing them out of our reach by mandating electric vehicles doesn’t do the trick, maybe they will propose banning them outright. Every time there is a pileup on the highway, they will squawk about the immediate action needed to prevent our imperiled communities from being ravaged.

Public support for gun control is not high. But then, public support for opening the border is not high either. That hasn’t stopped Democrats.

Anyone motivated to go on a shooting spree will acquire a gun, legally or otherwise. There are close to half a billion guns in the USA, and close to 9 billion rounds of ammunition. Even if Democrats become powerful enough to implement the door-to-door searches they no doubt fantasize about, guns and ammo will always be available on the black market.

A single armed law-abiding citizen might have cut short the bloodbath before so many were killed. Democrats want a world where Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa and Robert Aaron Long have guns but we don’t. That will make us more likely to cling to the skirts of Big Government for protection.

Democrat gun-grabbers hardly waited for the bodies to stop twitching, much less for an investigation to determine what happened and why, but it appears the cause of the bloodshed was the same in Boulder as in Atlanta; to wit, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa is crazy as an outhouse rat and should have been locked up in a mental asylum. He reportedly believes that “racist Islamophobic people” have been hacking his phone. Given our limited information, paranoid schizophrenia is the most likely diagnosis.

However, the actual cause of the violence is not something Democrats are likely to discuss, because that would not advance their agenda.

Meanwhile, someone went berserk at a hookah lounge in Detroit, wounding eight, leaving three in critical condition. But this is not big news because a knife was used instead of a gun, and Democrats do not want to confiscate our knives — yet.

Leftists can smell victory, even if their vehicle Joe Biden just barely squeaks into office with the help of systemic election fraud. They look forward to punishing those who opposed their rise to power. As totalitarians have done in other countries, people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are taking names and making lists:

“Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future?” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Friday.

Some people still react to these threats like Americans:

“Joseph is proud of you!” one user wrote, referring to notorious Soviet Union dictator Joseph Stalin.

Another person posted a photo of Mao Zedong with the caption: “Big shoes to fill but you’ll get there.”

What happens to the people on the list? Possibly inspired by the Spanish Inquisition and the book 1984, Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich (now a Berkeley professor) wants to subject them to a “Truth and Reconciliation Commission”:

After this commission finds them guilty of thought crimes, what happens next? Let’s ask a representative of the entertainment industry, one of the left’s securest pillars of power.

The Blaze reports:

Actress and singer Janelle Monáe went on a rant where she lambasted the nearly 70 million Americans who voted for President Donald Trump in the election. Monáe said that every person who supported President Trump should “burn.”

Entertainers do tend to be wacky. Monáe, for example, wants to abolish the Electoral College for being “RACIST BULLS***” and has proclaimed herself to be “pansexual.”

Let’s ask someone more sober. How about a guy who used to anchor the flagship program on MSNBC? To quote Keith Olbermann,

“Trump … and his enablers, and his supporters, and his collaborators, and the Mike Lees and the William Barrs, and Sean Hannitys, and the Mike Pences, and the Rudy Gullianis and the Kyle Rittenhouses and the Amy Coney Barretts must be prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society…”

So, gulags then. At least they aren’t openly calling for executions yet. They still fear the public a little bit.

We can laugh at these people for now. But anyone crazy enough to try to impose economic collapse through the Green New Deal is crazy enough to kill people in large numbers for objecting to starvation. Readers are referred again to Stalin and Mao.

Most of us already knew that Joe Biden is a crook, and that he exploits family members to monetize his political power. What everyone didn’t know is to how aggressively Twitter and Facebook serve as appendages of the Democratic Party.

Thanks to the Streisand effect, word has gotten around that there is now a smoking gun regarding Joe’s involvement in his son Hunter’s Ukraine shenanigans. From the New York Post story that liberal establishmentarians don’t want you to read:

Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post.

The corrupt firm was paying Hunter $50,000 per month to be related to Joe. He is not capable of serving any other purpose.

Another email from Burisma’s Vadym Pozharskyi specifically asks Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” to help the company.

The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer. …

Photos of a Delaware federal subpoena given to The Post show that both the computer and hard drive were seized by the FBI in December, after the shop’s owner says he alerted the feds to their existence.

Possibly because it would cause political damage to a prominent Democrat, the politicized FBI apparently buried the laptop somewhere deep in the bureaucracy.

But before turning over the gear, the shop owner says, he made a copy of the hard drive and later gave it to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello.

Otherwise, we would probably never know about it.

Less than eight months after Pozharskyi thanked Hunter Biden for the introduction to his dad, the then-vice president admittedly pressured Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk into getting rid of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin by threatening to withhold a $1 billion US loan guarantee during a December 2015 trip to Kiev.

The arrogant Joe Biden even bragged about it:

Given the context, Biden would appear to belong in prison for this.

Shokin has said that at the time of his firing, in March 2016, he’d made “specific plans” to investigate Burisma that “included interrogations and other crime-investigation procedures into all members of the executive board, including Hunter Biden.”

Silicon Valley and the liberal establishment media have cashed in the last of their credibility to keep Biden’s corruption hidden.

Via American Thinker:

Facebook and Twitter on Wednesday limited users from sharing links to this story on social media, claiming that the story was unverified and “potentially harmful.”

It’s not just Big Tech:

I checked the websites of CBS and ABC while writing this piece to see if their reporters were on the story. Zilch point nothing. NBC tried to twist the story into Trump desperation with this headline: “Trump hits Biden over unverified report on his son Hunter.”

Twitter even blocked the account of White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany for sharing the story. Twitter also locked the account of the New York Post.

In its supreme arrogance, Twitter reportedly even suspended President Trump’s official campaign account.

For his part, Joe Biden called a lid yesterday morning to give Big Tech/Big Media time to bury the story for him while he napped.

At least the Democrats don’t control Fox News yet:

The story is a bombshell. The attempt to hide it from the public is an even bigger bombshell. Unless we want to live in a country where stories that undermine one party’s power are systematically suppressed by the entire establishment, we need to be very sure that Big Tech and Big Media lose this election.

The laptop also included this picture of Hunter sleeping with a crack pipe in his mouth:

Elect Biden and party time really begins for corruptocrats, their relatives, and their cronies. But it will be a funeral for freedom of speech.
