Kelly Ayotte Vetos Bill to Keep Trannies out of Girl's Bathrooms and Locker Rooms
Timothy Birdnow
New Hampshire's Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte has vetoed a bill that would make it illegal for trannies to use the opposite sex's bathrooms or locker rooms or go to jails that do not comport with their birth sex.
Ayotte's reasoning? It would be too hard to enforce!
We pass laws that are hard to enforce all the time. Part of the purpose of a law is to make a moral statement, to show we think this is unacceptable. And in an egregious violation you can arrest such a person. If we choose not to pass laws that are hard to enforce, why have any at all? It's hard to stop a bank robbery too oftentimes; do we make THAT legal?
The GOP is just riddled with opportunists who use the party to get ahead but who in the end do not represent the values of the people they ostensibly represent.
Obviously Ayotte is one such.
She states:
"I believe there are important and legitimate privacy and safety concerns raised by biological males using places such as female locker rooms and being placed in female correctional facilities, At the same time, I see that House Bill 148 is overly broad and impractical to enforce, potentially creating an exclusionary environment for some of our citizens.”
So how many LIVES is "inclusivity" worth Kelly? How many women will be raped because you want "belonging"?
Remember this guy who raped two women while in a woman's correctional facility. Oh, guess you forgot him, didn't you Kel.
Why elect Republicans if they are going to pull crap like this?
There is blood on Kelly Ayotte's hands.

Pardon my inserting a comment this way, but hitting the "Add Comment" produces a "Malformed Comment String" and nothing else.
I'm forced to say that without seeing the actual text of the bill, neither of us should castigate Gov. Ayotte, because the bill may well be written in such a way as to be unenforceable. It may well be "legal mush," and what the governor is doing here is sending it back and saying "Come on, Guys, give me a bill that I can sign and we all can live with." I think we need to give her some leeway here.

Goodell on the Hot Seat
Timothy Birdnow
Pressure is mounting for the National Football League to fire League Commissioner Roger Goodell for greenlighting the insulting and anti-American and hypersexualized Bad Bunny halftime show.
People are mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore.
For years Goodell has been pulling this sort of thing, aligning the League with every woke and radical notion foating around in our culture. Football used to be the entertainment of Middle America, of the working stiff. Now it's the entertainment of the gay stiff, who happens to be grinding against another fellow's buttocks on the Superbowl halftime show.
"Bad Bunny is, and I think that was demonstrated (at the Grammys), one of the great artists in the world, and that’s one of the reasons we chose him," Goodall gushed, completely forgetting he is Commissioner of the NATIONAL Football league, not the World League. Football is uniquely American/Canadian and we speak English here. We also don't like men grinding on each-other or pretending to be performing anal sex in front of our children.
Apparently Goodell wants a new fan base for the NFL. He deserves to get it too.
Mr. Bunny, whose name is really Ocasio (any relation to AOC?) wiped his Instagram account after the performance, suggesting he was getting creamed on it.
At any rate the media keeps gushing about his performance and completely ignores the hypersexualization, the insulting and vile language used by Hoppity which he got away with because it was in Spanish, and the overall weirdness of the whole event. They keep talking about it, too, which tells me they want to rewrite history; people largely hated it.
Here is a petition to get Roger Goodell sacked. Let's all sign it and make a difference.

No Statehood for Puerto Rico
Timothy Birdnow
Here is something that flew in under the radar:
Puerto Rico enacts law recognizing legal personhood of the unborn child
There goes any possibility that Puerto Rico will become a state; the Democrats will never allow it.
The governor signed this into law in December but I'm only learning about it now.
Wonder why Bad Bunny didn't sing about this?

NFL Elevates Discourse
Caution; salty language in this one. But then, the subject matter was lurid to begin with:
Daniel Jupp
Obviously I’m completely shocked to discover that Bad Bunny’s lyrics are those of a total fucking retard who can barely speak….Spanish.
There was a time when people who could only tell us that their cock was erect and say ‘tits, pussy, tits, pussy’ in an endless slavering loop of sub 70 IQ public masturbation were in asylums where they belong.
God help us there are probably university courses on this degenerate retarded slop.
I expect The Guardian will tell us that Bad Bunny is a monumentally important artist whose talent shines a light on the evils of white supremacy.
Of course objectively speaking there is a lot to feel supremacy over when you read the trash this ‘musical’ Igor slobbers out.
I don’t really believe any of these people are organic and authentic any more. I don’t even think bad music and dumb celebrities get famous by luck or talent. I don’t believe millions of people discover and download a person like this just because he posted stuff online.
It’s always a creation, and money was behind this person from the start.
Even if that isn’t the case, the guy is barely fit to stand in a toilet offering hand towels and aftershave. He could make a filthy urinal dirtier just by sharing his thoughts.
Historians of some other future culture studying this period will be utterly bemused.
Right….so they went from beautiful cathedrals to ‘dick, pussy, dick, pussy’ and told themselves it was progress?
Tim adds:
This is fundamentally no different than the trash talk coming out of 13 year old boys. If it's "toxic masculinity" then why is it art now? Because Bad Bunny is trans? Because he's Latina X?

No Dates for American Kids
Timothy Birdnow
Naturally. The social atmosphere prevents it:
Post
See new postsConversationBrad Wilcox@BradWilcoxIFSWe're in the midst of a "Dating Recession":
✔️ HS dating has fallen almost 50% since 1980
✔️In 2024, a "mere 46% of high school seniors reported ever going out on dates"
Sexual harassment codes make it very dangerous for a boy to date a girl in this modern age; if she gets mad she can accuse him of raping her or otherwise "sexually assaulting" her and he's in big, big trouble. Meanwhile feminism is all over the educational system and the girls are told boys are all patriarchal abusers and a great many girls fear them for no other reason. Who wants to date the root of all evil?
Meanwhile the kids don't work and have no money to actually date, and most of them don't drive so have no means of going anywhere anyway. Kids in New York may take public transit to date but outside of there few kids are going to ride the bus.
Rising levels of homosexuality and transgenderism are no doubt at work here too.
Couple all of that with the intense pressure of our modern hyper-sexualized culture on young innocent kids and you have the perfect storm.
I would add they say dating is now almost entirely done on-line, either meeting people that way or even more strangely simply chatting online. There is no human contact.
Covid only accelerated this; young people fear being in the company of others now, the gift of several years of the lockdowns.
Interesting how this worked out so well for the neo-malthusians who have feared population growth for over a century. People like Bill Gates and a host of others have seen overpopulation as the number one problem facing the world, and have labored to discourage any population growth. So, is this a happy accident or by design? I would argue the latter.
Paul Ehrlich must be pleased. You do remember HIM; author of The Population Bomb from the seventies, which was used as justificxation for the Club of Rome study "Limits to Growth" which formed the bedrock of so much modern leftist thinking. It was a declaration of despair then and it continues to stalk mankind now.
So America is about to suffer empty womb syndrome and our native born population will start to decline as it has in Europe. And we will suffer the same fate; the demise of American culture as we are overwhelmed by those who are having babies. Our own kids have given up on that, and by extension, given up on life.
Despair is an ugly thing. But that is what Liberalism creates in the end.
Liberalism is a doctrine of demons. It brings nothing but suffering in the final analysis.
BTW I didn't date much in high school either, but that was because I went to an all-boys high school and was shy to boot. My not dating was not because I didn't want to, rest assured. I regret not dating more then, when you have plenty of time to test the waters.

Judge Rules ICE Can Still Wear Masks
Timothy Birdnow
A win in court.
The rulling does require they wear badges and identify what agency they are with, a reasonable enough restriction.
This judge ruled that California can ban masks provided all law enforcement is required to not wear them. So California may be able to "fix" the legislation. But that's for another day.
Not sure about her legal reasoning in this.

The Trump Effect.
Sixty members of Congress are calling it quits, and more Republicans than Democrats.
Why? Because Trump has sucked the fun - and the gravy - out of the job.
Many are probably leaving out of fear that the DOJ will look at them and find their hands in the cookie jar. Many others probably just don't like the ascendancy of America First and miss the good old days when they didn't have to do anything, got to go to swank parties, and enjoyed the good life, with free vacations and insider information. Now they actually have to do something and that's not what they went to Washington to do. They are parasites and parasites don't want the host to recover.
I got a kick out of this:
Democratic Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi is one of more than two dozen members leaving the House chamber to run for higher office, as he’s running for the open Senate seat in Illinois.
"The chance to be in a body that would, for instance, be able to hold the president accountable, with regard to Supreme Court justices, continue to pursue my agenda with regard to making the American dream possible for people who feel like it’s slipping out of reach right now, making staple items more affordable, it’s too hard to pass up,” Krishnamoorthi recently told NBC News. "So I’m seeking a promotion.”
Asked why so many of his colleagues are retiring, Krishnamoorthi noted that the political arena hasn’t exactly been a pleasant place to be in recent years.
"Over my 10 years here, I think Donald Trump has helped catalyze a real toxic partisan atmosphere,” he said, later adding, "I have not known normal. And I think for anybody who came here expecting something different and then being served up this kind of toxic brew of partisanship and character attacks and name-calling is going to be severely disappointed.”
End.
Who is he trying to kid? There was endless partisanship under Obama, and before Obama there was huge amounts of abuse heaped on George W. Bush. What this guy doesn't like is the Republicans started fighting back.
Doesn't he remember the passage of Obamacare, with Nancy Pelosi going through a protest holding her gavel aloft just to say FU to Republicans? Doesn't he remember Obama inflaming the BLM rioters with things like "If I had a son he would look like Trayvon (Martin)"? Has he forgotten the Ferguson riots? The repression of Conservatives, such as the abuse of the Pink Sisters or the loss of tax exempt status for groups that opposed the Administration, or the slow walking of applications for tax exemptions?
Remember, Barack Obama was a "community organizer" meaning he was a rabble rouser, who worked for Saul Alinsky's organization. Abusing people and playing dirty tricks and telling bald-faced lies was his stock in trade. YOU wanted him.
And that was just under Obama; Biden was Obama on steroids. Biden is the one who REALLY divided us. He used his toadie at the DOJ to make war on his political enemies. But it's TRUMP who is the bad guy, yes indeed!
Look in the mirror Congressman; it was your party that decided power was more important than decency. You created this.
At any rate the party's over and the revelers who milked the American taxpayer for decades now are suffering an after party hangover. So they are leaving, no doubt to get jobs on CNN or at Ivy League universities where they can still skim off the top.
They are parasites and like all parasites move on once the host is dead.

How to Reform the Courts?
Timothy Birdnow
People do not understand the Constitution and separation of powers.
Most people think the courts cannot be disciplined by Congress because the Constitution says the courts are a coequal branch of government. But that isn't really true; the Supreme Court is a coequal branch of government and cannot be tampered with, but all inferior courts are created BY CONGRESS. Article III of the Constitution states:
Section 1
The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.
Section 2
The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;—to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States;—between a State and Citizens of another State,—between Citizens of different States,—between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
You will note that while judges have tenure for good behavior the Congress can indeed limit the scope of their authority.
While they have lifetime tenure, their offices do not and Congress can abolish any court it pleases, or it would not have been empowered to create them in the first place. You will note the Supreme Court was not given the power to create courts. And if Congress can't abolish a court then it can defund it. They have to pay the judge's salary but they don't have to give him any cases; cut funding for that district court to just the judge's salary and you have essentially removed him from office.
You can also give him an office in a tent, or a broom closet; that would go a long way towards reining these jerks in.
The Federalist article explains how judges may not be disciplined nor impeached for POLICY issues based on a Congressional act:
Of course the Democrats would filibuster any attempt to change THAT statute so it would still require sixty votes to pass. Any judicial reform will require that. And of course any change in statute will face challenge - in court. Judges are all going to be unwilling to rule in favor of limiting their own power.The law that creates the process for disciplining federal judges explicitly states that any complaint against a judge "directly related to the merits of a decision or procedural ruling” is to be dismissed. Thus, judges, in essence, have immunity for anything they put into a decision or order. This statute was specifically referenced in a pair of decisions declining to investigate disciplinary complaints against Judge Boasberg, for example.
This is quite the protection for an individual with a lifetime appointment and who was never democratically elected. In theory (or practice?), a judge could look at the Constitution itself and decide he or she does not like the plain meaning of an article or amendment, and issue a ruling that would hold otherwise.
So reform is very unlikely. We will have to find new and creative ways to punish these clowns. It can be done but it takes some outside the box thinking.
The really sad thing is the Supreme Court can't even discipline the inferior courts, and they have to keep making the same rulings over and over as the lower judges just ignore them. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling should be an automatic dismissal, but the Founders didn't think of that. I suppose they figured giving SCOTUS the power to remove inferior judges gave them too much power, but they didn't understand how politicized the court system would become.
And they didn't understand how pucillanimous Congress would be. The Demo-Left uses the courts to simply negate the will of the people and at the same time avoid the consequences of their actions.
The courts are out of control and need to be reminded that they work for the People and not for one political party. We need new and better ideas for reining them in. Frankly, we need a Constitutional Amendment that would allow for the removal of judges. I like a retention vote periodically, as is done with judges in state courts. And maybe allow for a recall petition.
But that would of course require an amendment. Now we are limited in our ability to influence the black robes. But it won't be so forever. Mostly it comes down to finding people to serve in Congress who have a pair of danglies. Too bad so few in the GOP meet that definition.

Amputating Love
Timothy Birdnow
Kentucky Governor Andy Besheear has been imbibing too much bourbon whiskey, methinks.
Bashear invokes the Bible as justification for promoting transgenderism. Perhaps he ought to actually READ the Bible and not just quote snippets.
After pointing to the Good Samaritan passage (which has nothing to do with human sexuality one way or another) and Jesus calling for us to "love thy neighbor" he goes on to say:
"My faith teaches me, that all children are children of God."
Well and good, but if he wants to actually honor children as "children of God" he must first accept them as they are - as children of God made in His image. God doesn't mistakenly put female souls in male bodies or vice versa.
Truly honoring these disturbed children means protecting them, not mutilating them.
Transgenderism is a form of witchcraft. It is an attempt to use magical thinking to transform what God ordained into something He did not ordaine by an act of human will.
At any rate, my point about Beshear not reading the Bible can be illustrated quite clearly.
Here are multiple relevant Biblical passages condemning transgenderism:
"Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created” (Genesis 5:2).
"He answered, ‘Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate” (Matthew 19:4-6).
"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination” (Leviticus 18:22).
Deuteronomy 22:5
"A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.
Deuteronomy 23:1 ESV / 2,426 helpful votes
"No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord.
1Corinthians 6:9
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Guess Beshear missed all of those.
There is nothing loving about encouraging someone into serious sin, nor facing the penalty, be it corporal or spiritual, for rejecting the Will of God. If you want to love transgendered children you would labor to help them overcome their feelings, which are largely a product of their environment. These are sick children, or confused children at a minimum. They requie care, not encouragement ib their delusions.
If a man says he's Napoleon we lock him up, but if a boy says he's a girl we now treat him like one. If we did the same thing with the Emperor of France everyone would agree that is completely mad.
That's why we are seeing more psychological disorders being accepted and mainstreamed, and eventually pedophilia and necrophilia and other really sick stuff will wind up being called natural.
It's not natural and never will be. It's a psychosis. You love a person with a psycosis but not the psychosis itself. Beshear is promoting lovig the psychosis and not the psychotic.
Man HIS priorities are seriously screwed up.
If someone goes to the doctor with pneumonia do we say that's natural and he should be able to live as a pneumonic-American? Now, we treat them to get rid of the illness. Beshear wants to not treat the illness but rather to do actual physical harm, cutting off breasts and testicles and the like and doing permanent damage to what may well be a temporary psychological hiccup.

Victory Lap
Timothy Birdnow
I keep hearing the song Popcorn playing in my head!
The truth is popping out all over!
They tried desperately to say the election of 2020 was fair and that Trump was just a sore loser and criminal, but their actions always were reminiscent of Shakespeare "me thinks they doth protest too much".
I kept the faith even when a lot of Conservatives were ready to throw in the towel (in the good old Karl Rove fashion). Turns out we here at The Aviary were right and it is now coming to light.

Megyn Kelly Does Us Proud!
Timothy Birdnow
Megyn Kelly just torched Piers Morgan, completely ripping the British Bumble a new one.
She's nailed it on every point!
She points out that while forty million people speak Spanish in America that means 310 million do not and she went on to say that Britain has lost its culture because of just this sort of thing and America is not going to go quietly. She was really impassioned too.
Do watch it.

A Strange Death in St. Cloud
Timothy Birdnow
Coincidence? Somehow I doubt it.
Hallie Marie Tobler, the 22-year-old daughter of Republican Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson, was found stabbed to death in her St. Cloud apartment on Saturday evening.Law enforcement believes her death was a botched murder-suicide, carried out by her husband, Dylan Michael Tobler, 23.
St. Cloud Police Department officers responded to a medical emergency call around 8:20 p.m. at the couple’s locked apartment.
When they arrived, officers discovered Hallie Tobler dead from multiple stab wounds.
Dylan Tobler was also found inside with life-threatening stab wounds, which investigators determined were self-inflicted. He was transported to St. Cloud Hospital, where he remains in stable condition and in police custody.
Self-inflicted STAB WOUNDS!? Who stabs themselves? If you want to kill yourself you slash at key arteries - the jugular or the wrists. Nobody stabs themselves.
What a crock!
Johnson has suspended his campaign for governor, naturally.
I'm sorry but this smells to high heaven. Even if the boyfriend did kill her I wonder what the reason for it could be. Since this story isn't making much news it suggests to me the news media knows this is a crock and wants to hide it lest it receive too much attention. If this were a candidate running against, say, Ron DeSantis you know this would be front page news.
I just did a Bing search and found some local stories about it but nothing national. Only the Gateway Pundit seems to be covering this.
To me that speaks volumes.
Interestingly enough and possibly completely unrelated, the Trump Administration was purchasing a huge warehouse in the St. Cloud area to convert into an ICE detention facility. There has been considerable backlash from the Jackass Party as you may imagine.
Coincidence? Perhaps. But maybe not either.
St. Cloud is run by a Democrat-Farmer-Labor Paty (DFL, the Democrats in Minnesota) member named Jake Anderson. While the city is split pretty evenly Anderson won the mayoral race last time.
Given the climate of violence in Minnesota these days and the hatred of all things Trump and ICE one must question such a happy coincidence as a GOP gubernatorial candidate's daughter being found dead. Yes, coincidences do happen, but the Birdnow Rule is there are no coincidences in politics. I think this stinks.
Oh, kill a politician and people will look hard, kill his daughter and people sigh and move on, but the same thing is accomplished; the politician is no longer in the running.
And while this might not stop ICE from opening this facility it certainly could stop Minnesota from cooperating with them after the election. And it's just so FUN to murder Republicans, after you've been convinced they are Nazis who deserve to die. That is what has happened to Minnesota under the current junta.

Well, well, well...
Apparently Bad Bunny's hippity hopping halftime horror was chock-full of four letter words in Spanish, which according to Rep. Larry, er, Randy Fine is a violation of FCC rules and makes the NFL and Mr. Bun Bun open for huge fines.
Rep. Fine is no stooge, I might add.
According to the article:
Fine said Bad Bunny’s halftime performance crossed legal lines that would not be tolerated if the lyrics were performed in English.
"‘Bad Bunny’’s disgusting halftime show was illegal,” the congressman wrote.
He also argued that if the lyrics had been broadcast in English, "the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous.”
Fine rejected any suggestion that there should be different standards based on language or culture.
It all depends on the wording of the regulations, I suppose, but it seems to me substituting a foreign language curse word does not absolve someone from the law.
"Puerto Ricans are Americans and we all live by the same rules,” he wrote.
Fine said he and others are sending a letter to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr calling for "dramatic action,” including fines and reviews of broadcast license
Commander Bun Bun made the fact that Puerto Ricans are Americans too as one of the central features of his show, so now he needs to be treated like an American and held to the standard the rest of us must follow.
Sauce for the enchilada is sauce for the Tamale, my friend.
I doubt anything will come of this but it should. The NFL will just offer a few measly dollars to buy their way out of this even if it does.
Imagine if this were a Catholic singer singing in Latin and using a bunch of words about Christ and how salvation comes only through Him; the Leftist heads would explode. But they are happy to ram their degenerate philosophy down our throats and demand we take it.
Well we aren't going to just take it. I hope Fine can get an investigation going and

Vermont EV Buses Don't Run in the Cold
Timothy Birdnow
All I can do is point and laugh "ha, ha!"
FTA:
Electric buses are proving unreliable this winter for Vermont's Green Mountain Transit, as it needs to be over 41 degrees for the buses to charge, but due to a battery recall the buses are a fire hazard and can't be charged in a garage.
Spokesman for energy workers advocacy group Power the Future Larry Behrens told the Center Square: "Taxpayers were sold an $8 million ‘solution’ that can’t operate in cold weather when the home for these buses is in New England.”
"We’re beyond the point where this looks like incompetence and starts to smell like fraud,” Behrens said.
Ya think! Any idiot would know you can't run these toy cars in very cold weather.
This is what you get from Progressivism; it's always been a scam.
And for what? To "save the planet" from a lilliputian rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, something it does not do anyway as it produces just as much greenhouse gas in the actual generation of power to provide the electricity, plus requires a bunch of very dirty materials be made via strip mining.
But it makes the Bernie Sanders' voting crowd feel good about how righteous they are.

Is Guthrie Kidnapping Legitimate?
Timothy Birdnow
Was Savannah Guthrie's mother actually kidnapped? Some people don't think so.
This story DOESN'T make sense but law enforcement is hardly giving out everything they know.
If it is a hoax I would ask about the blood found outside the house; it has been confirmed to be Nancy Guthrie's. If this were a publicity stunt, say, I doubt Savannah would cut her mother and sprinkle her blood around. In point of fact the blood spatter pattern suggests a nosebleed, which suggests the poor woman was smacked or punched.
There may indeed be other things at work than ransom; it could be retribution for a story Guthrie did, for example. And as I say, the authorities are not going to give us all the information now, not while there is an active investigation ongoing.
While I appreciate this Chris Swecker fellow (who is listed as a former Assistant Director of the FBI) has a good deal of expertise I would suggest he not speak about matters of which he has limited knowledge. He may know procedure but he doesn't know the facts if he is a FORMER FBI guy.
He is right; the family didn't pay the ransom and that is a bit hard to understand, but they are probably being advised by the FBI or local police not to do so.
At any rate I think there is more to this than meets the eye too but it is irresponsible to speculate on such matters if you are not in the loop but come from a position where you should know some things. I am free to speculate all I wish since I'm just a dude with a low-ranked blog, but that is different.
Of course the authorities may well have asked this fellow to run a disinformation campaign for them.
At any rate the rest of us would be wise to wait for developments. I seriously doubt this has direct family involvement, which is a logical conclusion to draw from Swecker's comments.
But you never know.
Addendum:
Swecker served as assistant director during the Bush 43 Presidency.

GOP Rep Says We Can't Deport All the Illegals
Timothy Birdnow
In 1950 there were 151,325,798 people in the United States. There are now two hundred million more. Yet the Truman Administration kicked out no fewer than 1.1 million at a minimum and the Eisenhower Administration another two million or more. That's three million.
So it can be done. Remember, we didn't have an interstate highway system, nor regular air flights, nor the the infrastructure we have now. It was harder to kick people out back then.
So when this RINO fool says ‘Not Realistic’ to Kick Out Over 25 Million Undocumented People he is ignoring our own history and at the same time admitting the problem is much worse than the media and his own RINO buddies have been telling us.
This is Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) arguing we should just give up and let illegals take over the country. Just like the GOPe and the Chamber of Commerce have always wanted.
Yes, it will be hard but if we cut off funding for them they will self-deport back home to a large degree. But if we do nothing then nothing happens and their numbers will keep growing.
We don't know until we try. But so many in the GOP have already declared defeat, and that because they don't want to end this. How will they find maids and lawn care?

Burger Massa

Should we now call it "Burger Massa"?
Naturally the franchisee comes from the Land of Lincoln, which we know is so Progressive and cares so much for the vulnerable.
BTW I don't know the particulars, since the article is sketchy in that regard, but we coddle our teenagers far too much and a little honest labor never hurt anyone. It gives the kids money and they can always quit. I just like to point out the hypocrisy of the Left.
Naturally Wisconsin Democrats blame the Republicans in the legislature.
Hew boy!

Warren, Dems Terrified Trump is Fixing Healthcare
Timothy Birdnow
More proof that the Democrats don't care about helping people with their healthcare and more about controlling them through it.
Elizabeth Warren
@SenWarren
TrumpRx is nothing more than Donald Trump’s latest vanity project.
If Donald Trump cared at all about making health care more affordable, he wouldn't have kicked 15 million Americans off their health insurance.
Sure; get everyone on the Exchange and they can't afford the drugs they are supposed to get when they DO go to the doctor! Brilliant!
She wants everyone "insured" with unusable plans.
And you will notice she and her Democratic collegues offer no plan at all to fix the problem, just want Republicans to spend more money on a system that is broken and which they themselves put a sunset on so they would have this as an issue. If they had any interest at all in people's health they would offer a viable competing plan.
The fact that Trump is going to fix it and will own this issue them scares the heck out of them.

TPUSA Halftime Creamed the NFL's Corn
Timothy Birdnow
A TMZ poll showed Kid Rock and the TPUSA halftime show obliterated the NFL's sleazefest with the transvestite Bunny (who was out of a dress, no doubt owing to last minute pressure by Roger Goodell, the Woke NFL Commish.)
As of 2 a.m. the poll had Rock ahead 78% to 22%.
That's why I had so much trouble finding this; Google was burying these results because they embarrass the NFL and make a mockery of the whole thing.
We need to double down on this and make the NFL fear Middle America. Right now they take us for granted (which is why they no doubt loved this matchup featuring an east and west coast team - no sullying themselves with us hayseeds in "Jesusville".)
Over 20 million viewers changed the channel to watch the TPUSA halftime show, and that doesn't include those who watched other halftime shows that were also on. (Where I was we couldn't find the TPUSA show but watched one featuring Country Western stars.)
We need to Mulvanize the NFL, like we did to Anheuser Bush. They got the message (well, sort of) and it's time the NFL got the message too; we will not be taken for granted.

Absolutely charming. And this guy writes for the New York Times:

i can’t imagine a parent who wouldn’t sell little JD for percocet if they knew he would turn out like this bsky.app/profile/parm...

What a pompous prick. No wonder his mom tried to sell him for Percocets

End.
This because JD. Vance refused to apologize for the death of Alex Pretti, as if he was personally responsible for it.
These people are simple vile. Who says such a thing? Who THINKS such a thing? And these are the people who claim t be the compassionate ones.
This is Jamelle Bouie, a Times columnist, not some barrista at Starbucks.
Hey, maybe he should take advice from Bad Bunny about how love trumps hate, eh?
