Friday Morning Breakfast For The Brain

Good morning Deplorables, now that you have survived Halloween IT’S FRIDAY!!!!

It’s the Democrats’ Haunted House of Horror!

By Ben Garrison

The full moon rises at the stroke of midnight as a mournful scream echos over the Deep State Swamp.

Beware! All who enter will be cursed with the agony of socialism!

“O-Booo-ma” is ready to greet the Trick or Treaters at the front entrance, “Welcome to your Demon-rat fate!”

A quick look to the right reveals confused major appliances who are so addled with LGBTQXYZ propaganda they don’t know their own identity!

Be Careful! Horrible groans come from the room to the left where the 2020 Democrat candidates bring a half-baked creature to life, the Democrat socialism Monster!

We creep up the crumbling stairs and hear loud screams of “Orange Man Bad” coming from the Marxist Media Propaganda room.

Be sure to avoid Black Widow Pelosi’s parlor of impeachment where the little bug, Adam Schiff spins his web of lies against President Trump.

Watch out! Slick Willy slides down the stairs as the blood sucking Vampire Soros is ready to drain the country’s life blood!

Sorry, the temple is closed on Orgy Island as the “suicided” Jeffrey Epstein spends eternity flying around hell.

“I’m Koo Koo for Climate Change,” rings out as the clock hits midnight in the O-Crazio Green Room.

What’s that bumping in the last dark upstairs room of the house? It’s the withered remains of Psycho Hillary Clinton stumbling into the presidential race…did you find the “haunted” shoe?

The Beltway’s ‘Whistleblower’ Furor Obsesses Over One Name

Via Real Clear Investigations

For a town that leaks like a sieve, Washington has done an astonishingly effective job keeping from the American public the name of the anonymous “whistleblower” who triggered impeachment proceedings against President Trump — even though his identity is an open secret inside the Beltway.

More than two months after the official filed his complaint, pretty much all that’s known publicly about him is that he is a CIA analyst who at one point was detailed to the White House and is now back working at the CIA.

But the name of a government official fitting that description — Eric Ciaramella — has been raised privately in impeachment depositions, according to officials with direct knowledge of the proceedings, as well as in at least one open hearing held by a House committee not involved in the impeachment inquiry. Fearing their anonymous witness could be exposed, Democrats this week blocked Republicans from asking more questions about him and intend to redact his name from all deposition transcripts.

RealClearInvestigations is disclosing the name because of the public’s interest in learning details of an effort to remove a sitting president from office. Further, the official’s status as a “whistleblower” is complicated by his being a hearsay reporter of accusations against the president, one who has “some indicia of an arguable political bias … in favor of a rival political candidate” — as the Intelligence Community Inspector General phrased it circumspectly in originally fielding his complaint.

Federal documents reveal that the 33-year-old Ciaramella, a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House, previously worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and former CIA Director John Brennan, a vocal critic of Trump who helped initiate the Russia “collusion” investigation of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.

“He was accused of working against Trump and leaking against Trump,” said a former NSC official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.

Also, Ciaramella huddled for “guidance” with the staff of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, including former colleagues also held over from the Obama era whom Schiff’s office had recently recruited from the NSC. Schiff is the lead prosecutor in the impeachment inquiry.

LGBT Activists Won’t Admit Anything’s Wrong With A Man Flashing Children During Drag Queen Story Hour

Via The Federalist

Some entertainment is just not suitable for children. Provocative adult entertainers at Drag Queen Story Hour should be an obvious example.

There is little room for polite interpretation when the headline reads “Drag Queen Flashes Crotch to Children During ‘Story Hour’ Event,” as RedState reported on Oct. 29. Rather than hyperbole or an overreaction, the headline describes the event very literally. On Oct. 18, 2019, an organization called Child Protection League Action posted a disturbing photo taken at a Minnesota public library featuring a drag queen sitting in a chair with his legs spread open, revealing his crotch to the children sitting in front of him.

The photo was taken mid-movement, with the presenter clearly in the middle of a performance, and looks accidental. It is unclear if nudity is involved, but the image perfectly demonstrates the concern of conservatives and parents everywhere. Adult entertainment is not suitable for children.

The drag queen, a young man who goes under the name “Sasha Sota,” performs at gay night clubs and posts videos of his performances. He is not a comedian like legendary drag queen Bianca Del Rio. He does not perform as a character like the hilarious and iconic Trixie Mattel. He is a provocative adult entertainer, and as so many on the right have been screaming from the rooftops for years now, such entertainment is simply not for kids. Those that promote drag queens reading to small children nationwide seem intent on refusing to recognize this fact.

People Have Real Concerns About Drag Queen Story Hour

Drag Queen Story Hour, as it is known internationally, is intended to be an advocacy movement to normalize LGBT culture and open gender creativity for children. The idea behind it, as told by a drag queen named Tree Empress 45 Onalicious Mercury, is that “You can be anything you want, I’m a drag queen.” He continued saying, “We’re the embodiment of fantasy and fairy tales. … Why not be for kids?” The curator for the San Diego History Center, which also features drag queen children’s events, argued, “Kids respond to its color and its charm and its funniness, and they are entertained.”

But the reality is that behind the positive ideals and open and inclusive messaging, the loosely organized events nationwide have caused some genuinely serious concerns for parents. On June 25, for example, a drag queen performed a song containing profanity and took off layers of clothing while dancing provocatively at a children’s event. At another children’s event, adults passed out condoms, sexual items, and phallic-shaped bookmarks with sexual education material. While performing at a Portland, Oregon event, one drag queen was photographed lying on the floor with several children piled on top of him.

The road to mandatory vegetarianism

Via The Washington Examiner

Burger King’s advertising has been telling us that the Impossible Whopper tastes just like a Whopper. And so, in the spirit of empirical science and discovery, I ventured to a Burger King this week to test the claim.

I found myself at a sticky linoleum table with two burgers on a tray. I started with a bite of the regular Whopper. If there was any beef in the bite, I wouldn’t know, overwhelmed as I was by the flavors of bun, mayo, lettuce, mayo, pickle, mayo, ketchup, mayo, mayo, tomato, and mayo.

It was immediately clear to me why it was possible to have a meatless Whopper that tastes like a Whopper — the beef is buried under a pile of salad gloppy with mayo. A bite of the Impossible Whopper proved the point.

But what about the meat substitute? How did it taste in isolation? Again, first I tried the actual Whopper, clearing away the salad to get a bite of plain burger patty. It had that tired, desiccated, cardboardy quality that is the hallmark of fast-food beef. And indeed, the Impossible Whopper patty succeeded in matching the regular one, low bar that that may be.

But on second bite, it was clear that the meatless meat was a product of the laboratory. The texture was dense and slightly spongy, not unlike tofu that has been dried and compressed. And the faux-meat flavor gave way to a curious chemical aftertaste. Nice try, Impossible Foods, but the meatless patty is to beef as a baked brisket drenched in “Liquid Smoke” is to actual wood-smoked BBQ.

And so I needn’t let the Impossible Whopper worry me.

Why was I concerned in the first place? Because if synthetic meat succeeds at approximating the real thing, it won’t be long before it isn’t just an option but the only option. Why tolerate the abattoir when soybeans can be sacrificed rather than cows? Once meat-substitute is widely used, one day we will wake up to discover that activists have convinced regulators to outlaw the consumption of actual animal flesh.

OUCH: Activists Four Weeks Into Boat Ride To U.N. Climate Summit Learn It’s Cancelled

Via The Daily Wire

Thirty-six environmentalists were four weeks into their “grueling voyage” by sailboat to Chile for a United Nations climate change summit, COP25, when they leaned the event had been canceled.

The activists, known as the Sail to the COP group, took a cue from young climate change figurehead Greta Thunberg and opted for a sailboat ride over a plane ride. According to CNN, Thunberg expressed her approval of Sail to the COP via Twitter at the end of October.

The activists, who left from Amsterdam, were halfway to Chile when they found out the devastating news.

“After a long assessment process, the Chilean Government has made the painful decision of not to host the Climate Summit COP25,” the COP25 Twitter account posted Wednesday.

As noted by CNN, Chilean President Sebastián Piñera pulled out as host of the summit “amid protests that have left at least 20 people dead and led to the resignation of eight cabinet ministers.”

“The Sail to the Group participants prove to be a strong and reliant group after four intense weeks of sailing,” the climate change activists posted in a statement on Thursday. “After the initial shock and sadness the news brought, everyone came together determined to continue what we started: putting the climate impact of aviation on the international agenda.”

Sail to the COP is now headed for Belém, Brazil, instead.

Bernie Sanders Cheerily Greets Trick-Or-Treaters Before Stealing Their Candy For Redistribution

Via The Babylon Bee

NORTH HERO, VT—It’s Halloween, which means trick-or-treaters are beginning to flood the streets of cities and towns all across the country in a beloved tradition. Children joyously knock on doors and receive candy at most of the houses in their neighborhood—most of the houses, that is, except for that of Bernie Sanders.

Sanders cheerily opens the door each time children knock and cry out “Trick or treat!” and greets them, commenting on their costumes and wishing them a happy Halloween. Then, he pulls out his large bowl of candy, reaches his hand out, and takes from the children who have a lot of candy, placing their “donations” into his bowl for later redistribution to the less fortunate.

“What a nice Captain America costume you have!” Sanders said to one boy. “Although I’m always a little disturbed by the large selection of costumes made possible by corporate greed and the evils of capitalism, I still appreciate your spirit. Now hand over the Milky Ways, bub.” Sanders then dug into the kid’s bag and pulled out over 40% of his haul, lecturing the boy on the need to be generous.

Of course, the senator doesn’t provide his redistribution services for free: he takes a “small tax” out of his collection before carefully redistributing the candy based on his fair and equitable Candy Plan, which he draws up every year.

At publishing time, Sanders still couldn’t figure out why kids kept avoiding his front door altogether.
