Hillary Clinton’s Birthday Surprise

By Ben Garrison/GRRR Graphics

Hillary Clinton probably didn’t have much of a happy birthday considering how she had to share her special day with the momentous event of Amy Coney Barrett getting sworn in to the Supreme Court.

There has been a lot of hateful lava spewing from Hillary’s volcanic head lately. The twice-failed presidential candidate seems to be in a very sour mood. She explained how it made her literally “sick to her stomach” to think that she’d have to endure four more years of Trump’s “abuse and destruction of our institutions, and damaging of our norms and our values, and lessening of our leadership.” She also went on to say that most Republicans are “cowards, spineless enablers” of Donald Trump.

Which institutions are getting destroyed? Well, we know the FBI has already been destroyed by partisan Democrat and Deep State operatives. Everything the FBI now does seems designed to protect swamp monsters such as Hillary Clinton. Norms and values? Hillary values the further lining her pockets with ‘pay to play.’ Such criminal behavior is normal to her. Hillary values her own power she’s mad that her leadership was ‘lessened.’ She needs it lessened still further by getting locked up.

Justice Barrett is at polar opposites with the abortion-loving Hillary Clinton. A baby, moments from birth, can still be aborted according to Hillary because legally it’s not a human being. Barrett loves the Constitution and is a strong woman of real values including justice and the protection of individual rights. Hillary had her cake and ate it too. She also wanted to control the cakes of everyone else.

Sick to her stomach Hillary will gulp down more antacids should voters ‘enable’ Trump to win a second term. The hate in Hillary’s heart beats strong, but the love within Amy Coney Barrett is stronger.

Hunter Biden: White Crackhead Privilege

Via American Greatness

How is the lack of any media or police interest in Hunter Biden’s crack pipe not a glaring example of so-called white privilege?

By now I’m sure you’ve seen the photo of Hunter Biden asleep on his pillow with a crack pipe dangling from his lips.

Now I want you to imagine being Alice Marie Johnson sitting in jail for 21 years for “cocaine trafficking.”

You certainly didn’t learn anything else about Hunter’s drug pipe from the media. They won’t even talk about it. The media loves Hunter—Alice not so much.

Regardless of what Hunter Biden is smoking, he has a problem. He’s the millionaire son of Joe Biden, who has been running for president since Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” was topping the charts and “Dirty Dancing” dominated the box office. Joe Biden ran for president and flamed out for plagiarism—a fancy word for theft—in 1987. He ran again in 2008 and lost to Barack Obama. He should have run for dog catcher.

Now he’s running again and his son’s tendency to impregnate strippers, freebase, and—oh by the way make million-dollar deals with hostile foreign countries—might end his third run for the brass ring in American politics. Look: people aren’t perfect, but how do normal nonviolent drug offenders who aren’t the sons of vice presidents get treated?

Hunter Biden is not an accomplished attorney, military leader, or businessman. He’s a millionaire because his name is Hunter Biden. How did he get to be a millionaire? He got there the old fashioned way, the same way Benedict Arnold became famous and the same way Mata Hari became famous: He traded honor for dollars.

Facebook and Twitter have done everything they can to hide Hunter’s cocaine-and-hookers act, but here’s the gist: He traded access to his father, then the vice president of the United States, for extremely lucrative deals with very questionable companies and associates, some of whom are enemies of America. He put the White House up for sale to the highest rollers and bidders.

Imagine Donald Trump, Jr. or Charlotte Pence Bond trying to pull this menagerie of corruption.

In Ukraine, Hunter got himself installed on the board of a shady energy company called Burisma. That company reportedly paid Hunter $83,000 per month. That’s more than most Americans make in a whole year. The emails found on Hunter’s hard drive that the tech tyrants don’t want you to see show Biden explicitly trading on his family name and for access to the highest levels of the American government to obtain that cash. In fact, that’s his only skill. Hunter Biden doesn’t know the first thing about energy or Ukraine. He just knows how to tell rich people who his father is and how that can benefit them. Cha-ching!

If his name were Hunter Wisniewski he would be living at the OTB drinking PBR.

Even worse, Biden linked up with Chinese companies that are themselves tied in tight with the communist government. No company can be successful in China without the communists’ blessing. This is no small thing. China’s rulers are a malevolent clique who despise democracy and use a diabolical “social credit” system to keep their people on a short leash. They have subjugated Hong Kong and are threatening India, Taiwan, and even the United States. Beijing’s communist butchers run sweatshops and Uighur concentration camps. They prop up the rocketman in North Korea.

They are not misplaced Americans by any stretch. But there was Hunter Biden, working lucrative deals with them that, according to a text message he reportedly sent to his daughter, pay for the whole family’s wealth—including his daddy, Joe Biden, the man who wants to be president.

This is a huge national security problem.

Seething hatred for Trump: What are the consequences?

Via WorldNetDaily

President Donald Trump is not the first president to be hated by a large segment of the American population. In more recent times, there was considerable hate for President Ronald Reagan. Even though Democratic Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill and Reagan were polar opposites in their politics, they could be friends. Once, when Reagan confronted O’Neill about nasty things that he said about him in a newspaper, O’Neill replied, “That’s just politics; after 6 o’clock we’re buddies – we’re friends.” Politics today has become something not seen in our history. The true tragedy is that many Americans have bought into the hate, destructiveness and plain nastiness and are seemingly ignorant or uncaring about its long-term consequences for our nation.

Democrats say that if they win the presidency, they would increase the size of the U.S. Supreme Court by appointing justices who would do their bidding – packing the court. One wonders whether they think that a future Republican president would simply ignore what they have done. I doubt it. A future Republican president would resort to the same tactic and appoint justices that would do his bidding. The U.S. Supreme Court would become no less than a super-legislature, subject to the will of politicians.

Last June, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill in favor of D.C. statehood. The measure was dead on arrival at the Republican-controlled Senate. But should Joe Biden win the presidency and bring with him majorities in the House and Senate, he would make statehood for D.C. – and Puerto Rico – a political priority. That would give the Democrats four more seats in the U.S. Senate, therefore guaranteeing them a solid majority. But would Republicans accept that without a response? What about splitting up strong Republican states, such as Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah and Idaho? For example, create a West Oklahoma and East Oklahoma or a North Utah and South Utah. That would give the Republicans four additional senators thereby offsetting the new Democratic senators.

You say, “Williams, dividing up states to get greater representation in the House of Representatives and the Senate would violate the Constitution.” The fact of the matter is that making Washington, D.C., a state would violate the Constitution. Article I, Section 8, clause 17, of the U.S. Constitution provides explicitly for a national capital that would not be part of a state nor treated as a state, but rather a jurisdiction under the exclusive authority of Congress, a neutral “district” in which representatives of all the states could meet on an equal footing to conduct the nation’s business.

So far as dividing up states, Article IV of our Constitution, in part, says, “but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.”

By the way, in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln, who claimed that he was fighting against secession, violated the U.S. Constitution when he proclaimed the admission of West Virginia into the Union. The Virginia state legislature did not vote to support West Virginia’s secession from Virginia.

The bottom-line question is whether our nation can survive the divisions that we see today. Too many people want to blame it all on Trump. How much blame can be put on Trump for the riots, looting and, as Axios estimated, the close to $2 billion in losses from property destruction? What about the murder and shooting of civilians and law enforcement officers? What about the tearing down of monuments, not only those of Confederate generals but of Abraham Lincoln, Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and abolitionist Frederick Douglass?

Virginia Tech. prof says phrase ‘American people’ is racist, so is beer

Via Campus Reform

David L. Brunsma, a professor in Virginia Tech’s department of sociology, claimed that both beer and the phrase “ the American people” are racist in a recent book and tweet, respectively.

The book, co-authored by Burnsma and titled Beer and Racism: How Beer Became White, Why It Matters, and the Movements to Change It, claims to provide a “critical and interdisciplinary path to examine and understand the racial dynamics in the craft beer industry and the popular consumption of beer” according to its description.

The book claims that beer in the United States has “always been bound up with race, racism, and the construction of white institutions and identities” and that American attitudes towards beer have led to “intersectional inequalities.”

“Brewing up Race,” “The Making of the (White) Craft Beer Industry”, “Gentrification and the Making of Craft Beer” and “#WeAreCraftBeer: Contemporary Movements to Change the Whiteness of Craft Beer” are among chapters contained in the work.

In a tweet intended to promote his book, Brunsma included hashtags like “#blackpeoplelovebeer,” “#brownpeoplelovebeer,” and “#beerandracism.”

Other professors have called the book “a crucial addition to an emerging literature” and a “data rich and evidence based analysis of how beer, a seemingly innocuous cultural product, can carry deep racial meanings.”

“From the racist marketing of malt liquor to the bearded-white-dude culture of craft beer, readers will never look at a frothy pint the same after reading Beer and Racism,” University of New Mexico professor Eli Wilson said of the book.

Wilson told Campus Reform that “beer, as a beverage, does not perpetuate racism per se” however “the people who make decisions about beer—from who they market certain products to, to what images to put on beer cans, to who gets hired in breweries—can indeed exacerbate racial inequities in our country.”

When asked if it was possible that the craft beer community is predominately white as a function of some factor other than racism, Wilson answered “yes, of course” going on to state “Economics. Craft beer is expensive. $20 4-packs of Hazy IPA? Pfft, many beer markets were full of these brews pre-Covid. Plus, it generally takes being exposed to craft beer by a close friend or family member to first get into it, and we know that social networks are segregated by race and class among other things.”

According to Wilson “the motivation to diversify craft beer comes from an urge to make sure other people have an opportunity to share in something that you personally love.” He then added, “And maybe a little bit of guilt: after the 10th beer festival you’ve been to where it is a bunch of pretzel-necklaced white dudes with beards and potbellies, it gets kind of old, you know?”

Brunsma’s work, which was published on Oct. 14, is part of a series called “Sociology of Diversity.”

CNN Mourns ACB Confirmation By Flying Chinese Flag At Half-Mast

Via The Babylon Bee (Satire)

ATLANTA, GA—CNN is in mourning today after the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court. To recognize this momentous tragedy, CNN President Jeff Zucker has announced that the majestic flag of the People’s Republic of China will be flown at half-mast for the remainder of the day.

“This is a dark, dark, day for our democracy,” sobbed CNN anchor Don Lemon. “It’s so, so very dark that democracy might be dead already. What must China think of us? They are probably so embarrassed for us because the Republicans are mean and hypocritical and our Constitution is the worst.”

All CNN employees will also observe a full minute of silence at noon to recognize the darkness of this dismally dark day for our democracy. They will also light candles for RBG and wear sackcloth– which is normally against dress code but will be permitted for today only since it’s such a dark day.

“Our only hope now is to elect President Kamala Harris and pack the courts,” said Brian Stelter. “May the spirit of President Xi and RBG be with us.”
