To be ruled by leftists is degrading enough; worse still is to be ruled by leftist dorks who would normally be ridiculed into oblivion. Consider the infamous Covid tyrant Gauleiter Gretchen. Here’s how she announced that taxpayers will be forced to finance the extension of adolescence for an extra 2 years so that youth might marinate in moonbattery instead of getting jobs and starting families:

It’s mean to laugh at short bus kids. No one will laugh when speds take their revenge by spending their state into bankruptcy, imposing pure moonbattery, and imprisoning people for dissident opinions.

Reaching out is a good thing, especially since Democrats have presented an opportunity by abandoning the center. But if the tent gets too big, it turns into a circus tent:

George Santos, best known for his noisy homosexuality and for lying almost as compulsively as Joe Biden, is a Republican congresscritter. He has been denounced by the liberal media for a “secret seven-year marriage to a woman.” If the marriage was to anyone resembling Gauleiter Gretchen, it could help explain his behavior since.

Until traditions can be erased completely, they must be repurposed. On behalf of the Nanny State, Michigan Gauleiter Gretchen Whitmer exploits Christmas to indoctrinate children with ChiCom virus hysteria, which she laid upon Christmas like a wet blanket by telling kids to avoid celebrating with relatives.

The spectacle was produced as a Zoom call. Via Summit News:

Whitmer introduced Santa Claus to the 6 groups of children before inviting them to ask Santa questions, almost all of which were about COVID-19 rules and had obviously been scripted for them.

Santa told the kids that he and his elves wear masks and remain 6 feet apart from each other, and urged them to wear masks whenever they leave home.

The health benefits of children wearing masks as they play in the snow are doubtful. But who wants to risk getting a lump of coal by disobeying Santa?

Whitmer then said that families should “stay home” and not visit each other and instead, “call your grandparents and your cousins and your family and it’s the safest way to tell the people you love how much you care about them.”

Next time Whitmer does a yuletide Zoom call, she ought to team up with the Grinch instead.

Michigan State Representative Cynthia Johnson (D-Detroit) is even scarier than we knew. When she issued a public call for her supporters “who are soldiers” to come after “Trumpers” and “make them pay,” it appeared obvious that she was siccing Black Lives Matter goons on her critics. But she has a supporter who might do worse than toss a Molotov cocktail through your front window. Michigan Gauleiter Gretchen Whitmer, infamous for the ruthlessness with which she inflicts arbitrary coronavirus decrees, has Johnson’s back.

Johnson’s perceived call for violence resulted in a wrist slap:

Michigan Republican Party Chair Laura Cox accused Johnson of inciting violence. House Speaker Lee Chatfield, R-Levering, and House Speaker-elect Jason Wentworth, R-Clare, subsequently announced Johnson would be stripped of her committee assignments, adding Johnson could face “further disciplinary action as the proper authorities conduct their own investigations.”

Even that was too much for Whitmer:

“I think that removing her from her committees is too far, truly, and I’ve reached out and asked the incoming House leadership to reconsider that,” she said.

The signal has been broadcast loud and clear. In Michigan, Democrat leadership has no problem with pols conducting themselves as if America were some tinpot dictatorship in a remote Third World backwater. If the Governor approves of issuing marching orders to an army of street thugs who have already caused $billions in damage with hundreds of riots in the course of this year, pulling out fingernails might be next.

Johnson said she didn’t mean to threaten Trump supporters, but she also doesn’t regret her words. Instead, Johnson said she’s owed an apology from GOP leaders.

If she doesn’t get one…

As election season gets underway and Democrats become increasingly desperate to hold on to power, expect more false flag operations along the lines of the FBI’s Gauleiter Gretchen kidnapping plot and the shenanigans the Lincoln Project pulled against Glenn Youngkin in Virginia. If all goes according to plan, Dems will be able to provoke a handful of right-wingers to behave like mostly peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters, as on January 6; then they can respond with martial law.

We need to be able to distinguish Deep State agents from actual Americans. This video of the alleged “white supremacists” of Patriot Front is instructional:

The license plates aren’t the only clue that these may be feds. Old Glory represents not so much the American government as America itself. That’s why patriots treat the flag with reverence, whereas Democrats are liable to contemptuously toss it top-down into the back of a truck, so that it can get filthy lying in the bed.

As with the Virginia Tikigate fiasco, the khakis are another clue. So are the BLM-style covered faces, possibly intended to look sinister for use in Biden campaign ads.

One of the advantages of our federal system is that it provides 50 different laboratories for testing new approaches. When one state makes a mistake, the others can learn from it, without the whole country stepping off a cliff. That’s why we have to watch and learn from Michigan, where the prominent Covid tyrant Gretchen Whitmer and her fellow Democrats are establishing a police state in which dissidents can be imprisoned for expressing their opinions:

Michigan’s House of Representatives has passed a hate speech bill, known as HB 4474, which criminalizes causing someone to feel threatened by words, including the misusing of their pronouns, with the possibility of a hefty fine or even jail time.

It will literally be a criminal act in Michigan to refer to a man as a man if he says he wants to be referred to as a woman. This is the equivalent of jail time for not proclaiming that 2 + 2 = 5.

The bill introduces hate crime penalties for causing someone to ‘feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened,’ with ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity or expression’ included as protected classes.

As we are reminded daily, the Alphabet People regard any resistance whatsoever to their demonic agenda to be terrorizing, frightening, threatening, et cetera.

All animals are equal, but LGBT animals are a lot more equal under liberal rule. Kneel before them or the hammer of Big Government comes down:

Offenders could face up to five years in prison for such a felony offense or a $10,000 fine.

Michigan Democrats have also been pushing abortion hard. New legislation bans helping teenagers to overcome perverse sexual urges of the type liberals encourage. The party has gone out of its way to identify itself with immorality.

Scrape off the surface layer of degeneracy and you find raw tyranny:

Distinguished Professor Emeritus William Wagner, a former federal judge and legal counsel in the U.S. Senate, joined the chorus of politicians and lawyers warning against the bill.

“Make no mistake about it. Those advocating for this legislation will wield these policies as a weapon capable of destroying conservative expression or viewpoints grounded in the sacred,” Wagner told The Daily Wire. “One merely needs to look at the scores of cases brought against schools, churches, businesses, and individuals around our country. Proponents use these laws to silence and financially cripple those who dare to adhere to a different viewpoint and oppose their agenda.” …

Wagner said that under HB 4474, someone could listen to a speaker such as a religious preacher or read a conservative writer and claim they’re being intimidated because their “perceived gender identity” is under attack. Under the legislation, intimidation and harassment could be up to the interpretation of the listener and a local prosecutor, according to Wagner, who added that the bill determines what is criminal “after the action,” the opposite of the due process required by the Constitution.

The Constitution was created by white males who never proclaimed themselves to be perverts or members of the opposite sex. Therefore, it is racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic and will soon face cancelation.

The bill to crush free speech in the name of LGBTism will likely pass the Democrat-controlled Michigan State Senate. Then Gauleiter Gretchen will sign it eagerly.

Detroit, once the wealthiest city in the country, epitomizes the Democrat Death Spiral. The whole state is likely to follow as genuine Americans escape, leaving an ever higher percentage of moonbats to elect ever more radical tyrants.

“We have LGBT people too!” chirped New York Republicans. “Look how inclusive we are. We have our own homosexual drag queen!”

His name is George Santos:

Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has been federally indicted and arrested over 13 counts relating to campaign finance fraud. …

Among the charges, Santos is accused of telling donors that funds would be used toward his congressional campaign, but the money was used instead to buy designer clothes, alleviate personal credit card debt, and spend lavishly on other items unrelated to his race for Congress.

Hopefully Republicans will learn from this to leave identity politics to the Democrats and focus on other qualifications — like character.

On a tip from Varla.

Just when you thought nothing could lower your opinion of Democrat power-grabbers and their RINO accomplices, Nancy Pelosi arranges a theatrical spectacle featuring quintessential white male Democrat Adam Schiff (D-CA) and his GOP Lite comrade Adam Kinzinger (RINO-IL).

The point of Pelosi’s spectacle was to wring still more propaganda out of the January 6 debacle, and to divert attention from the questions an honest investigation would try to answer, which include: (1) Why was there virtually no security at the Capitol? (2) Did the KGB I mean FBI encourage or even initiate illegal activity as in the Gauleiter Gretchen kidnapping plot? (3) Who killed Ashli Babbitt, and why has the killer not been charged with murder? and (4) Why were the Capitol trespassers treated so harshly, whereas genuinely malicious rioters who had spent the past year burning police stations and looting businesses in the name of Black Lives Matter were given a pass?

They say politics is Hollywood for ugly people. It is also Hollywood for people who can’t act. Watch these shameless hams attempt to chew up the scenery:

Was Schiff reduced to tears by a guy in a buffalo costume trespassing in the People’s House? Or did he blubber because “We are so driven by bigotry and hate that we attack our fellow citizens as traitors”? If the latter, it must have been himself, his fellow Democrats, and the sham hearing that made him cry.

I understand why people identify as Democrats, despite the conspicuous lack of appeal. You get to be part of the ruling class. It isn’t worth giving up your values and self-respect, but may make sense if you don’t have any values or self-respect anyway. Why Adam Kinzinger types volunteer to serve Democrats as Kapos is a mystery. John McCain is gone now, but maybe we can get Mitt Romney or Liz Cheney to explain.

Hat tip: Legal Insurrection.

Parts of the country are running out of gas thanks to the cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline, which normally transports 2.5 million barrels of fuel a day, comprising 45% of the fuel supply for the East Coast. This provides a mild taste of what Democrat rule has in store for us.

Democrats don’t like pipelines or the precious fuel that flows through them, so you could hardly expect them to take this crisis with the seriousness it deserves. Evil elf Jennifer Granholm, who farcically (and corruptly) serves as Energy Secretary, squeaks inanely that there is no gasoline shortage but only a “supply crunch.” She conveniently blames Covid for gas prices having already been sharply on the rise around the country as a result of Biden choking off oil production.

If a pipeline has been up and running for a while, you notice how valuable it is when it gets taken down. The Colonial Pipeline is not the first to be sidelined by evildoers since Biden took power. Among his first flurry of executive orders, Biden killed the Keystone XL pipeline out of sheer moonbattery, throwing thousands out of work.

It is hard to appreciate the loss of the many things we would have had if not for Democrats. The cost of letting them take power is incalculable.

Speaking of Democrats and pipelines,

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer threatened to seize profits from Canadian pipeline company Enbridge Inc. if the company continues to operate a pipeline through the Great Lakes after a Wednesday deadline.

Gauleiter Gretchen wants the pipeline completely shut down, so its permit was revoked. Whether Michigan has the authority to shut down the pipeline is being argued in court, and Enbridge wants to keep the energy flowing in the meantime. The pipeline supplies refineries in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ontario, and Quebec in addition to Michigan.

Officials in Ottawa say closing the pipeline would cut off almost half the supply used to make gasoline, jet fuel and home heating oil for residents in central Canada. The closure could lead to higher fuel costs and thousands of job losses in refineries, officials said.

You can’t expect a Democrat to care about the jobs destroyed by the War on Energy.

A treaty prevents pipelines between the US and Canada from being closed except during an emergency. The only emergency here is Cruella Whitmer’s dangerous heavy-handedness. Yet Biden and Granholm refuse to intervene.

Michigan has said the pipeline poses an environmental risk and that any spill from it would threaten the Great Lakes. Enbridge has said that section of the 68-year-old pipeline has never leaked and that it is taking steps to protect the lakes after negotiating a plan with former Gov. Rick Snyder to encase the pipes in a tunnel below the lake bed.

This is not about leaks. It is about ideology. Like white skin, pipelines are inherently bad according to Democrat ideology. That’s why they will squeeze them out of existence. If you like the “supply crunch” caused by the Colonial Pipeline troubles, you will love America’s future under Democrat rule.

Under Gauleiter Gretchen, Covid tyrant extraordinaire, Pure Michigan is Pure Hypocrisy:

Via Not the Bee.

The liberal establishment has turned the dial all the way up on its gaslighting in an attempt to convince us that we have suddenly stopped detesting Kamala Harris. The idea is to stampede the herd by tricking everyone into thinking that everyone else wants her to be president. Polling analyst Nate Silver still considers it overwhelmingly likely that Trump will win. But the media doesn’t have to dupe enough people for Cackala to actually get more votes. They just need to make it seem plausible that she could win, despite her record (and Biden’s, which she owns). Election fraud will take it from there:

A new report by Fight Voter Fraud, a nonpartisan election integrity organization formed in 2018, has uncovered just under 298,000 double-registered voters across numerous states between 2016 and 2022—including thousands who double-voted as much as four times and were registered in four different states.

Worryingly, that includes critical battleground states whose voters will determine the winner of the Nov. 2024 presidential election.

Large numbers of double voters were found in swing states Wisconsin, Arizona, Michigan, and Georgia.

Yet the figures are unsurprisingly highest in blue states where Democrats have dominated for decades—like New York, with 10,500 double registrations and 222 double-voters, and California, with over 36,000 double-registrations and a stunning 732 double-voters.

Democrats are barely hiding the ball regarding their intention to cheat. They have greenlit voting by the illegal aliens they import. Michigan’s dorky but frightening Gretchen Whitmer recently signed alarming laws preventing election oversight. Arrogant Senate Democrats even reintroduced the outrageous John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which is clearly intended to facilitate fraud. As Trump might put it, they will cheat bigly.

As with the attempt on Trump’s life, they can justify this to themselves with their absurd article of faith that a man who has already been president constitutes an Existential Threat to Democracy if he is elected again. Being based on nothing more than adherence to a depraved ideology, their moral vanity will remain intact after stealing the election, even if they have to cheat and kill to do it.

Kamala Harris put her stamp of approval on the farce of an election that kept Marxist dictator Nicolás Maduro in charge of Venezuela, a formerly wealthy basket case that will serve as the template for our future if Democrats remain in power.

But this is not North Venezuela yet. Cheating will only fly if the election is close.

On a tip from Chris Neilson.

Public school students have been encouraged to identify as members of the opposite sex. From there, it was a short step to kids identifying as other species:

A records request discovered 196 documents at Ann Arbor Public Schools about “therians” – students identifying as “a species of non-human animal on every level except physical.”

The students show their animal identity by wearing masks, a tail and running around on four limbs called “quadrobics.”

What else would you expect in a college town?

The documents were a treasure trove, revealing new identities that may have been unknown outside the confines of public schools, including:

• Kitluvollic: a gender relating to kittens, pink, love and dolls.

• Animagauditraitic: a gender related to being excited and happy, but in an animalistic way…

• Wizcatgender: a gender related to being a wizard and a cat.

• Traitblur: a label for being unable to differentiate your identity from your interests.

• Starwashic: this gender feels like stars washing up on a beach

• Prettygender: a new xenogender based off of feeling pretty or beautiful, comfort with one’s gender…

It seems likely that as with LGBT identities, teachers have had some input in coming up with these terms.

As for learning to read, write, and do basic math, that will have to wait until college. Good thing the governor has promised to make taxpayers finance free college for everyone.
