Maybe we shouldn’t be terrified that nothing comes out of Joe Biden off-teleprompter except senile gibberish. After all, no one expected him to actually be in charge. They call it “ObamaCare” for political reasons, but Nancy Pelosi was the driving force who created Obama’s supposed signature achievement. She is probably still wearing the pants in the party, considering the leadership vacuum in the White House. As noted earlier,

Pelosi is #3 in the command structure and the only one in the top three with an IQ above room temperature, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris being idiot stooges apparently chosen in the belief that they would be easy to manipulate.

Like Biden, she is a leftist and corrupt, but despite being 82 years old she is at least mentally coherent enough to — hold on…

Yeah, we’re in trouble.

On a tip from Wiggins.

Please tell me that this is all just a tasteless joke at the expense of moonbats:

An event with Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday featured her and guests at the table introducing themselves with their names, pronouns, and descriptions of their clothing…

“Good afternoon. I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her. I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit,” a masked Harris said while introducing herself.

Still wearing the pointless mask, in Year 3 of 15 days to slow the spread. Announcing her gender and her pronouns in obeisance to LGBT militants. Describing her clothes in case someone watching her on television is blind. To top it off, she was there to speak about how limitations on abortion oppress disabled people.

It could not be clearer where Kamala Harris places her emphasis: on jejune politically correct posturing.

Visibly crumbling Joe Biden has one foot in the grave. This is what the liberal establishment saw fit to put next in line:

On a tip from MrRightWingDave.

Moonbat ideology has no basis of morality other than political correctness, which is determined by whatever helps the Party increase its power. This frees up Democrats to employ tactics that regular Americans would recoil from. For example, California’s Attorney General — a position previously held by top Biden Regime officials Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra — just doxed thousands of gun owners:

Files leaked from the database included the home addresses, full names and dates of birth for every gun owner in the state, according to The Reload. …

California Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a press release Monday announcing, “new and updated firearms data available through the California Department of Justice (DOJ)’s 2022 Firearms Dashboard Portal.”

It isn’t only burglars who might find this information useful. Terror tactics employed by the leftist thugs comprising Antifa and Ruth Sent Us emphasize the weaponization potential of personal information. When Nicholas John Roske got hold of Justice Kavanaugh’s address, he showed up at his house intending to kill him, no doubt egged on to violence by prominent Democrats.

“Today’s announcement puts power and information into the hands of our communities by helping them better understand the role and potential dangers of firearms within our state,” Bonta said of the dashboard.

If only California voters understood the potential dangers of letting liberals have power.

Currently the Firearms Dashboard Portal is down, and authorities are “investigating.” Maybe it was all just a mistake. Or maybe, when they overstep and someone calls them on it, they step back — for now.

Karine Jean-Pierre gives the impression of being yet another unqualified Affirmative Action hire. Unlike Kamala Harris and Ketanji Brown Jackson, she wasn’t explicitly given her position for identity politics purposes. Yet she checks more boxes than either of them, being not only a Woman of Color but also ostentatiously sexually aberrant and an immigrant born of a Haitian mother in Martinique. However, watching Mark Dice’s summary of her career as a propagandist suggests that she has the one skill required to be spokesmoonbat for Biden’s failing presidency.

Democrats are down to their last resort — namely, yelling their favorite word “racism” as if it were a magic incantation. Fortuitously, the one thought in Karine’s otherwise empty head appears to be, “Racist!”

On a tip from KirklesWorth.

According to political correctness, your only relevant qualification is your position on the intersectional identity totem pole. Aptitude is as irrelevant as performance. Consequently, there is no point in law school applicants taking the LSAT:

The American Bar Association favored dropping standardized tests from law school admissions in a newly released memo approved by the organization’s strategic review committee.

The shift in the bar’s position to make standardized admissions tests optional could substantially affect how the Law School Admissions Test, which law school applicants are currently required to complete, is used in law school admissions.

The point is to facilitate discrimination against whites and Asians, in favor of those who may be less qualified but who represent racial groups favored by the liberal ruling class.

Reuters explains why the LSAT has to go:

Studies have shown significant disparity in LSAT scores across racial groups. A 2019 study found the average score for Black LSAT takers was 142, compared to 153 for white and Asian test takers.

Since equity exists only in leftists’ totalitarian fever dreams, there is no valid test on which all groups will perform equally. Ergo, there will be no meaningful tests. Instead, students might write essays about the hurtfulness of their historical marginalization. No extra credit would be given for proper spelling and grammar, because that would be racist.

The ABA’s woke social engineering goes beyond dumping the LSAT. There is also Standard 206:

The ABA’s original proposed revision met with so much pushback that ABA delayed moving forward with it. The recently revised proposal (which likely won’t be adopted before August) aims to increase student admissions and faculty-staff hires of members of groups underrepresented in law compared to the U.S. population overall. Although the ABA Council has denied seeking to impose quotas, its effort to guarantee a proportional share of admissions/hires is likely unlawful.

Who is better suited to break the law than lawyers?

The Supreme Court is expected to hear cases involving racial discrimination in admissions at Harvard and UNC next term. The liberal establishment is abolishing objective standards in advance.

Legal Insurrection notes that the ABA has a near monopoly on accrediting power, and should be stripped of it due to its devotion to Cultural Marxism at the expense of fair admissions.

As our explicit Affirmative Action VP Kamala Harris so often serves to remind us, merit and moonbattery cannot coexist.

Joe Biden is so loathsome that even other Democrats refuse to acknowledge his presence. No worries; he has invisible friends still willing to shake his hand:

“Dr” Jill should be close by whenever he speaks, to help him find his way back from the podium without embarrassment.

Please tell me this bewildered husk of a corruptocrat is not really making decisions that will determine the future of the country.

In Biden’s defense, he isn’t much less lucid than prominent Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who sometimes doesn’t even recognize colleagues she has been working with for years, but who has filed paperwork to seek reelection in 2024.

In Feinstein’s defense, Nancy Pelosi, next in line to the president after the conspicuously incompetent Kamala Harris, screeches that questioning Feinstein’s mental fitness is “unconscionable” and “beneath the dignity in which she has led and the esteem in which she is held.” Pelosi herself is 82 years old and has senior moments when she loses it completely.

In Pelosi’s defense… Sorry, there can be no defense of Nancy Pelosi.

America is being led into the grave by demented moonbats who already have one foot in it. The country needs young blood.

Meanwhile, as the media keeps us distracted with Russia! Russia! Russia! and a Tinseltown cuckold slapping a clown, radical leftists behind their figurehead Joe Biden move in for the kill by opening the southern border completely, swamping the country with so many grasping dependents from the Third World that the USA will never be restored.

Even some Democrat senators are squeamish about killing off their own country by such invidious treason:

Several Democratic senators have voiced opposition to the Biden administration’s repeal of the Title 42 policy, which allowed border agents to immediately expel illegal border crossers.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publicly announced the repeal of Title 42 on Friday.

The CDC also has the power to deny fundamental property rights by declaring that people don’t have to pay rent. It is among the many agencies that should be abolished if Americans ever retake control of the US Government. For now, it wields absolute power as a cat’s paw for the White House.

Joe Manchin is no patriot, or he would have abandoned the Democrat Party long ago. He certainly would not support placing anti-American kook Ketanji Brown Jackson on the Supreme Court. However, he is not quite Vidkun Quisling. Manchin noted that the decision to open the border further is “frightening.”

“We are already facing an unprecedented increase in migrants this year, and that will only get worse if the Administration ends the Title 42 policy. We are nowhere near prepared to deal with that influx,” Manchin said in a statement. “Until we have comprehensive, bipartisan immigration reform that commits to securing our borders and providing a pathway to citizenship for qualified immigrants, Title 42 must stay in place.”

None of that will happen before May 23, when the Armageddon of demographic displacement is scheduled to begin.

Senator Maggie Hassan (D., N.H.) warned that the Biden administration “does not appear to be ready” for a potential influx of migrants once the repeal goes into effect.

Sure it’s ready. It has a border czar, Kamala Harris.

On a more serious note, Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) confirms that there is no plan in place to deal with the inevitable tsunami of illegal aliens that will constitute the most serious invasion of the United States since the War of 1812:

Being from Arizona, a state that has already been hit hard by open borders policies, Dem Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly both criticized the repeal of Title 42.

This should not spare them from the wrath of voters. Anyone who participates in the Democrat Party is helping to slit the country’s wrists, regardless of how they find it politically expedient to vote on particular bills, and regardless of what self-serving statements they might make.

A record 2 million illegal immigrants crossed the border during Biden’s first year in office and the surge is expected to intensify after Title 42 is repealed.

Once illegal aliens and their abundant entitled offspring achieve sufficient numbers, the votes of Americans will no longer count, because we will be outnumbered.

The contempt some show for the sanctity of innocent human life chills the soul. At the University of Washington School of Medicine, they reportedly keep aborted babies and organs harvested from them in paper bags in the fridge, like sack lunches.

Even some lefties are appalled, like the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising:

The activists found the freezer by following a paper trail of invoices that recorded the purchase of various fetal body parts by universities and research labs across the country. …

“The American people must be made aware of the mass dehumanization of these unborn children who are violently killed and thrown into a freezer, whose body parts are then portioned out to researchers in pursuit of federal funding,” PAAU Executive Director Terrisa Bukovinac said. …

David Prentice, the vice president at the Charlotte Lozier Institute and an expert in stem cell research, told the Washington Examiner that the storage of the human fetal remains was “unethical,” as informed consent could not be obtained from a deceased individual…

It is also unlikely that the deceased individuals consented to be aborted.

University of Washington maintains the nation’s largest fetal organ tissue bank, as came to light after undercover videos revealed Planned Parenthood employees haggling over the price of the baby body parts they sell.

David Daleiden was arrested for making these videos. California has allegedly been suppressing evidence that could aid in his legal defense. Via Daily Signal:

In March 2017, former California Attorney General Xavier Becerra filed an arrest warrant detailing 15 criminal charges against the pro-life activist. Becerra has since assumed the role of secretary in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

In November 2019, Planned Parenthood was awarded more than $2 million in damages against Daleiden after a jury ruled that he broke the law by secretly filming Planned Parenthood workers.

Preceding Becerra as California Attorney General, Kamala Harris took part in persecuting Daleiden for embarrassing the abortion industry with his investigative journalism.

California is what you get when evil people run the state government. Now they run the federal government.

Both Planned Parenthood and much of the research conducted on the body parts it sells are generously funded by our federal tax dollars.

Why stop at unborn children? Also from California:

AB 2223 was introduced in February as a placeholder for future legislative language amid a raft of pro-abortion proposals advanced by lawmakers, following radically pro-abortion Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s promise to make California a “sanctuary” for abortion, Right to Life League reported.

On March 17, the bill’s authors submitted updated language to amend existing state laws.

Under the new language, a “person shall not be subject to civil or criminal liability or penalty, or otherwise deprived of their rights, based on their actions or omissions with respect to their pregnancy or actual, potential, or alleged pregnancy outcome, including miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion, or perinatal death.”

The word “perinatal” in this context appears to mean that it will be legal to murder children in California up to age 2 years. This should give Newsom’s nascent abortion tourism industry a boost.

On Tuesday, Gov. Newsom signed legislation to make abortions free in the Golden State by bulldozing out-of-pocket costs for abortion services covered under health insurance plans.

Maybe they can sell some dead babies to University of Washington to recoup part of the cost of the “free” abortions.

Here is what Biden has done in the past few days to encourage a preemptive nuclear strike from Russia, which has been given reason to believe it is about to be attacked:

• Threatened to use illegal chemical weapons against Russia.

• Told US troops they were going to Ukraine.

• Called for regime change in Russia.

Each time Biden approaches an actual declaration of war, his White House handlers scramble to walk it back. Yet our ostensible Commander in Chief denies that anything has been walked back.

Hats off again to a rare legitimate White House reporter, Peter Doocy of Fox News:

“Are you worried that other leaders in the world are going to start to doubt that America is back if some of these big things that you say on the world stage keep getting walked back?” Doocy asked.

“What’s getting walked back?” the president asked.

When Doocy reminded Biden what he said and about the White House’s corrections, Biden declared, “None of the three occurred.”

Biden then told blatant lies in an attempt to gaslight us into doubting our memory of recent events.

To the extent this demented maniac is actually in charge, not only the USA but the entire world is in danger.

As Gerry Baker observes,

We can’t go on like this. Credibility is essential to the effective and safe conduct of national security. No amount of hasty cleanup will erase the words that come from the lips of a commander in chief.

No doubt Putin understands that Biden is out of his mind. But there were no grownups around to stop what he did in Afghanistan, so there is no guarantee that he won’t make good on his unhinged threats against Russia.

Last night, Tucker Carlson made a strong case for using the 25th Amendment to get Biden out of office before he sets off a nuclear war:

Kamala Harris is another conspicuously incompetent radical leftist. But at least she is not senile and does not have Biden’s alarming anger management issues. It’s time to bite the bullet and put her in charge — and put Biden into an institution where he can receive appropriate care.

If Democrats are successful in their expensive campaign to force us into economically inefficient electric cars, plutocrat Nancy Pelosi stands to get even richer:

On March 17, [Nancy’s husband Paul] Pelosi, a venture capitalist, purchased 2,500 shares of Tesla stock by exercising 25 call options at a $500 strike price, a Congressional disclosure filing revealed. …

The Tesla stock was worth about $2.2 million at the time of purchase, but Pelosi has already generated a windfall given the electric car firm’s recent success.

This success is largely the result of taxpayer subsidies. It has been aided by Democrats’ War on Energy. Gullible fools with more dollars than sense seem to believe that Teslas are powered by windmills and solar panels, rather than the fossil fuels that are the primary source of electricity. This scene is an apt metaphor for what actually makes them go, when it is not too cold outside for them to run:

Back to Paul Pelosi cashing in:

Shares were trading at approximately $1,007 as of Thursday morning – meaning Pelosi’s stake is now worth more than $2.5 million.

The disclosure could further rile critics from both parties who argue such trades are a conflict of interest, since Pelosi and other Congressional lawmakers have access to sensitive information and are responsible for enacting laws regulating businesses.

What do you expect of a government that has as its figurehead the shameless corruptocrat known as the Big Guy?

Considering that Pelosi represents San Francisco, it should come as no surprise that she is in bed with Big Tech. She profits handsomely from the relationship:

The Post also reported that the Pelosis had earned as much as $30 million from bets on the Big Tech firms through January. And some insiders have accused the speaker of slow-walking legislation that would impose new regulations on the tech sector.

Nancy Pelosi is #3 in the command structure and the only one in the top three with an IQ above room temperature, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris being idiot stooges apparently chosen in the belief that they would be easy to manipulate.

No wonder she is so jovial as she laughs at “peasants”:

The $24,000 Sub-Zero freezers in the background are stocked with pricey gourmet ice cream. Nothing is too good for our leftist rulers.

As for us peasants, we will have to make do with less so as not to offend the climate.

After progressives decided that healthcare is a human right, Democrats used Obamacare to drive the cost of healthcare into the stratosphere. Now, the radical mantra that housing is a human right has been taken up by the Biden Regime.

On Tuesday, Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge made it official:

“If we are to fully achieve justice in housing, we must fully accept what that means,” Fudge said in an address to the National Low Income Housing Coalition policy forum, a virtual event about affordable housing. “Justice in housing is everyone realizing the fundamental truth—housing is a human right.”

“Justice” is used in the Orwellian sense, meaning injustice. Democrats’ idea of “justice” is that you pay for the house and someone else lives in it. Because equity.

Fudge isn’t the first Democrat to take this step into straightforward Marxism.

In the 2020 US presidential election, several Democratic candidates, including former housing secretary Julián Castro and then-candidate Kamala Harris, included a right to housing as part of their policy platforms. In July 2021 when Missouri Rep. Cori Bush slept on the steps of the Capitol to protest the end of eviction moratoriums, she held a sign carrying the phrase.

Cori Bush represents Missouri less than Black Lives Matter, a movement rooted in Marxism.

But no presidential administration has openly endorsed the idea of housing as a fundamental right since Franklin Roosevelt included the right to “a decent home” in his Second Bill of Rights in the 1940s.

FDR’s “Second Bill of Rights” would have replaced the first Bill of Rights, reducing the USA to a communist country.

The effect of free housing promised to everyone too busy indulging in fentanyl to pay for their own will tip the economy into hyperinflation. This is not a bug but a feature.

If you doubt that Democrats are destroying the economy on purpose so as to create a crisis that can be exploited to seize more power, consider that the financial collapse of 2008 that swept Obama into office was largely caused by the government leaning on banks to give home loans to people who could not afford them in the name of racial equity. To deny them a loan was menacingly denounced as “redlining.” Then consider this:

Kamala Harris will announce an action plan to stop racial discrimination in the appraisal of home values, according to senior Biden administration officials. …

Appraisers help to determine the value of a home so that buyers can receive a mortgage.

Home appraisals, like home loans leading to 2008, are to be determined on the basis of race. This too will have the effect of distorting the housing market.

It isn’t that Democrats don’t learn from experience. It is that they learn too well — and do not have our best interests at heart.

With moonbattery ensconced as our state religion, equity is the objective to which we aspire as a society. Equity precludes excellence, so it should come as no surprise that a Colorado school district is doing away with valedictorian awards for students with the highest grade point averages:

The Cherry Creek School District will stop recognizing valedictorians at their high schools starting with the class of 2026.

Explain the educrats:

“The practices of class rank and Valedictorian status are outdated and inconsistent with what we know and believe of our students. We believe all students can learn at high levels, and learning is not a competition.”

According to liberal ideology, if someone succeeds, it can only be by exploiting and oppressing someone else. Why would educrats want to reward success?

Everyone will get an award in utopia, because we will all be exactly average. Equity will be achieved by the only means possible — by holding everyone to the lowest common denominator. Refraining from rewarding effort and success is a step toward that goal.

If social engineers are successful, one day we will deserve to be ruled by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and to be taught by the people who run public schools.

On a tip from Varla.

In an apparent attempt to distract us from the mess Democrats have been making of the country, the media has been stampeding us toward a potentially nuclear war over a local conflict that does not directly concern us. Pew Research reports on its alarming success:

[M]ost Americans (62%) say they would oppose the U.S. “taking military action even if it risks a nuclear conflict with Russia.” About a third (35%) of Americans say they would favor military action in this scenario.

That is, one in three thinks a nuclear holocaust would be a good idea. As the 24/7 media hype continues, this number could climb.

At a time like this, it would be reassuring to have reliable leadership.

The Commander in Chief is Joe Biden, who has always been conspicuously incompetent and who at this point in his decline from dumb to demented is barely sentient. Second is Kamala Harris, a living testament to the foolishness of Affirmative Action.

If both of them are removed due to gross incompetence — as they should be — next in line to be Commander in Chief is 81-year-old Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco. In her favor, her IQ may be higher than Biden’s and Harris’s combined. On the other hand:

Pelosi says she is not a military strategist. But she has been a politician since 1987. If this represents her public speaking skills, imagine what her Commander in Chief skills would be like.

She would still be an improvement on Biden or Harris though.

When people of Joe Biden’s caliber took over Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and Venezuela, the resulting looting spree produced hyperinflation that reduced the currency to virtual worthlessness, so that money literally was not worth the paper it was printed on. The inflation Biden has presided over is bad but not that bad yet, because the US dollar is the world’s reserve currency. The ongoing spending blowout by Democrats — financed largely through inflation — comes at the expense not only of Americans, but of the whole world. But this arrangement will not last forever, because the rest of the world does not like being looted by our corrupt and insatiably greedy politicians.

Saudi Arabia has had enough:

Saudi Arabia is in active talks with Beijing to price some of its oil sales to China in yuan … a move that would dent the U.S. dollar’s dominance of the global petroleum market and mark another shift by the world’s top crude exporter toward Asia.

Reckless spending is not the only factor debasing the value of American currency. Democrats’ inept foreign policy also plays a role:

The Saudis are angry over the U.S.’s lack of support for their intervention in the Yemen civil war, and over the Biden administration’s attempt to strike a deal with Iran over its nuclear program. Saudi officials have said they were shocked by the precipitous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan last year.

The pro-terrorist rhetoric from prominent congresswoman Ilhan Omar of the Committee on Foreign Affairs probably doesn’t help.

China buys more than 25% of the oil that Saudi Arabia exports. If priced in yuan, those sales would boost the standing of China’s currency.

ChiComs’ gain is Americans’ pain, as this comes at our expense. But as Kamala Harris reminds us, many Americans asked for this.

The majority of global oil sales—around 80%—are done in dollars, and the Saudis have traded oil exclusively in dollars since 1974, in a deal with the Nixon administration that included security guarantees for the kingdom.

What is a security guarantee from the USA worth after Biden’s debacle in Afghanistan?

The Saudi move could chip away at the supremacy of the U.S. dollar in the international financial system, which Washington has relied on for decades to print Treasury bills it uses to finance its budget deficit.

Ham-fisted attempts to punish Russia over Ukraine are not helping:

Ali Shihabi, who … ran a pro-Saudi think tank in Washington, said the kingdom can’t ignore China’s desire to pay for oil imports in its own currency, particularly after the U.S. and EU blocked the Russian central bank from selling foreign currencies in its reserves stockpile.

Speaking of Russia,

Russia, many of whose banks have been cut off from the Swift financial network, is exploring opening alternative payment channels with India…

India and Russia are also exploring the possibility of using China’s yuan as a reference currency to value the rupee-ruble trade mechanism…

The rupee-ruble trade is a payment mechanism that can allow Indian exporters to be paid in rupees instead of standard global currencies such as the dollar…

Says Dmitry Solodov, a spokesperson for the Russian embassy in India,

“[T]here is an ongoing natural tendency, which is aimed to decrease the level of dollar-denominated transactions. This tendency is relevant not only to Russia or India but to many other countries too.”

Attempts to marginalize Russia may have the effect of marginalizing the dollar.

Barack Obama used to promise to make America “more like the rest of the world” — i.e., just another country, with no advantages over the rest of them. Biden has followed up on this promise.
