Daily Broadside | Some Republicans Help the Democrats Be Awful People

Daily Verse | 1 Kings 12:20
Only the tribe of Judah remained loyal to the house of David.

Friday’s Reading: 1 Kings 15-16
Saturday’s Reading: 1 Kings 17-19

Friday and the end of another week. Beware that next Friday is April 15, when you have to hand over everything you haven’t yet to the feds and your state gubmints. “Of, by and for the people,” my eye. No rant from me, but we’ve gotten so used to being fleeced by the people we elect that we don’t even notice it anymore.

The other thing that’s happening on the 15th is Good Friday. Don’t forget to set aside some time to reflect on the sacrifice of God’s Son for the sins of the world, including you and me. It makes seeing the rampant sin among us more bearable, knowing that it will all face a reckoning someday—soon, I hope.

Yesterday was another sorry day in our history as Judge “I’m-not-a-biologist” Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed by the Senate with the three votes of not-at-all-conservative Republican Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and “severely conservative” (lol) Mitt Romney voting for Jackson.

The vote was 53-47. Brown Jackson would’ve been confirmed if the vote had been tied, with VP (Virtue Pick) Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote. But the three liberal Republicans still sided with the enemies of American culture, conscience and freedom, voting to confirm a woman who has a proven pattern of leniency for child sex offenders, supports Critical Race Theory (CRT), and refused to define a “woman.”

Republicans who opposed Jackson did so on several fronts: her dodging of questions on whether she favors court packing; her inability to define a “woman,” insufficient explanation of her judicial philosophy and her “soft on crime” sentencing record, including those of several child pornography offenders.

Democrats celebrated (or should I say, gloated) over the idealogue they forced on the American people.

Joe Brandon:

“Judge Jackson’s confirmation was a historic moment for our nation,” Biden said on Twitter with a picture of him taking a selfie with the newly confirmed Jackson. “We’ve taken another step toward making our highest court reflect the diversity of America. She will be an incredible Justice, and I was honored to share this moment with her.”

Chucky Schemer:

This is an “amazing day not only for Justice Brown Jackson but for the United States of America,” Schumer said. On the long road to equality, Schumer said, “sometimes you take a step back, but today we took a giant step forward.”

Don’t make me hurl.

Democrats are deeply immoral people. They stole the election in 2020, then they stole a SCOTUS seat by forcing Justice Breyer to resign.

“The Left bullied Justice Breyer into retirement and now it will demand a justice who rubber stamps its liberal political agenda,” Judicial Crisis Network president Carrie Severino said in a statement, adding “And that’s what the Democrats will give them, because they’re beholden to the dark money supporters who helped elect them.”

And give it they did, filling the vacancy with a pyrsyn who doesn’t know what the definition of a woman is.

But that’s not the worst of it. The worst of it is that the regressive, cultural Marxists elevated Jackson’s skin color over her judicial record, a record which indicates that she is a radical leftist who can’t be trusted to objectively and fairly interpret our Constitution. They put superficiality over substance.

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said, “Biden’s pick Ketanji Brown Jackson is a radical, activist judge, one who failed to answer simple questions on her record, including leniency for child porn offenders and support of CRT. Jackson has proved to be in lockstep with the far left’s political agenda, even refusing to define what a woman is. The RNC will hold Democrats accountable this November for supporting Biden’s radical pick.”

Yep. We all know how Jackson will vote, just like we all knew how the Wise Latina and Kagan would vote.

Yet all the Democrats talked about today was “equality” and “diversity.” It’s sickening.

Still, there may be some hope in the darkness. None less than The New York Times postulates that there isn’t much Jackson’s appointment can do to stop the more conservative bend of SCOTUS from dominating.

However collegial she may be, whatever her reputation as a “consensus builder” and whether her voting record will be slightly to the right or the left of Justice Breyer’s, the court’s lopsided conservative majority will remain in charge. Judge Jackson will most likely find herself, as Justice Breyer has, in dissent in the court’s major cases on highly charged social questions.

See that? Even the NYT concedes that there’s a “conservative” bias that includes Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Amy Comey Barrett (all three of whom, by the way, have made decisions disappointing to “conservatives” since ascending to the top court in the land). So spare me the moaning about the resistance to Jackson’s appointment.

Let’s hope that any damage KBJ has the potential to do is blunted by remaining in the minority on court decisions, a Republican take-over of the House and Senate this fall, plus the presidency in 2024.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Verse | 2 Samuel 3:36
All the people took note and were pleased; indeed, everything the king did pleased them.

Monday’s Reading: 2 Samuel 5-7

Monday and here’s a few tidbits to be aware of.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-Not Conservative) will vote to confirm Non-Biologist and Radical Jurist Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

“Just as I have with previous Supreme Court nominees, I met with Judge Jackson and evaluated her qualifications to be a Supreme Court Justice. After meeting with her, considering her record, and closely monitoring her testimony and questioning before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, I have determined I intend to vote for her nomination to serve on the Supreme Court.”

When Manchin opposed the Build Better Bolsheviks plan under Brandon, there was talk of him joining the Republican Party. But someone who would vote for a woman who can’t say what a woman is to the highest court in the land after “closely monitoring her testimony and questioning” should remain a pariah in his own party while we occasionally welcome his help.

The enemy of my enemy isn’t necessarily my friend.

It’s unfortunate that SCOTUS is being radicalized with picks like KBJ, because in the not-too-distant-future there are going to be court challenges to things like this: The coming federal weaponization of banking.

A digital version of the dollar has been in the works for over a year now. Earlier this month, [so-called president] Biden signed an executive order both curtailing existing cryptocurrencies and laying the groundwork for a federal digital currency. Crypto regulations have been a favorite topic of Democrats on Capitol Hill and regulators in the federal bureaucracy. Biden deployed numerous excuses, including the risks of money laundering and the carbon emissions needed to produce crypto, to justify cracking down on these currencies. But the kicker of the statement is the regulatory groundwork for the coming “digital dollar.” The United States will be the second major power to foster such a move, after China, where efforts to create a digital currency as part of its social credit system are a sign of what might be coming here soon.

Physical currency likely will be phased out entirely over time, in favor of a digital format controlled by the Federal Reserve. The ubiquity of cell phones and scannable codes will make integration of a digital currency, under some form of the blockchain, relatively easy to implement. This soft-nationalization of the banking sector would leave the United States in uncharted waters. Nearly every transaction, from political donations to purchases as seemingly insignificant as a pack of gum, would be visible to the government and subject to scrutiny. Government regulations could block or track certain transactions with no trial or public recourse. Even worse, if you were placed on a list by a federal bureaucrat — not a judge — your access to banking and credit cards potentially could be shut off without a warrant or trial.

Buy what you need now—like a generator for when the electrical grid eventually breaks—before your purchasing freedom is verboten by non-descript womyn like KBJ.

Of course, the other thing you should buy is seeds for things like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, corn, cucumbers, carrots, celery, strawberries, blueberries and other fruits and vegetables. That’s so when Brandon’s disastrous economic policies and international political failures finally catch up with food prices here in the U.S., you can blunt the impact on your personal grocery bill.

[So-called president] Biden on Thursday warned of global food shortages as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine — predicting that the war would upend global wheat supplies.

Russia and Ukraine jointly supply about a fourth of the world’s wheat exports.

“With regard to food shortages, yes we did talk about food shortages. And it’s going to be real,” Biden said at a press conference in Belgium after attending meetings of NATO and G7 leaders.

“The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia, it’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country,” Biden said.

When your sanctions on another country badly hurt your country, you’re doing it wrong.

Brandon says we don’t expect food shortages in the U.S., but neither did we expect the never-ending surge in gas prices, the supply chain bottle-neck, the empty store shelves, the scarcity of used and new cars, the failure in Afghanistan, the worst inflation in 40 years, the Chinese Bat Flu, or the severe lockdowns imposed on us by our betters in Washington, D.C. and across the nation.

I don’t trust a single thing these people say and even less what they do.

From the “Department of Pure Speculation But Not Really”: imagine a scenario in which Hunter Biden is indicted on federal charges of influence peddling, but then, because his daddy is the Resident, he is PARDONED.

Friday, FNC host Jesse Watters told his viewers he heard Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, would be indicted.

In addition to that, Watters speculated the President would pardon his son and announce he was not seeking reelection in 2024.

If Trump tried that he’d be impeached. Of course, Trump would never have to try that because he’s not a life-long grifter who hasn’t worked a day in his life like career criminal politician “the Big Guy.”

Daily Broadside | An Intelligent Woman Says She Doesn’t Know What a Woman Is

Daily Verse | 1 Samuel 23:16
And Saul’s son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God.

Thursday’s Reading: 1 Samuel 24-26

It’s Thursday and the days drag by as we wait for our deliverance from the clown show being forced on us from all quarters. I wrote yesterday that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson should not be confirmed to the Supreme Court because she is an unrepentant ideologue and liar who consistently under-sentenced child pornographers over the course of her career, essentially framing the pornographers as victims rather than the children who were exploited.

Add to that the latest imbecility and you’ll understand why I fiercely oppose her nomination. She doesn’t know how to define a “woman” because she’s, get this, “not a biologist.”

That is a disingenuous lie. I know what a woman is. You know what a woman is. And we’re not biologists either, are we?

Why can’t a supposedly intelligent female jurist say what a woman is?

She won’t say what a “woman” is because what the Cultural Marxist-Democrat-Media Industrial Complex says a woman is won’t fly with half the Senate or half the country. It’s a dodge.

If she’s dodging one of the simplest questions to answer, that means she’s hiding something and we all know what she’s hiding: she supports the trans-sexual movement.

She wants to be a supreme court justice so bad she’s willing to deny the truth by lying to the rest of us.

Not only that, but Brandon’s qualifications for his SCOTUS pick consisted of two characteristics: a “woman” and “of color.” If she doesn’t know what a woman is, how does she know she meets Brandon’s criteria? How does Brandon know? A Republican worth their sordid salary should’ve asked KBJ, “Are you a woman?” as follow up.

Here’s how John Hayward summed it up:

The funniest thing about Jackson’s “I’m not a biologist” dodge is that under current Democrat Party ideology, biologists are the absolute last people on Earth who have anything to say about the definition of womanhood.

Biology and science left the room a LONG time ago in the politicized discussion of human sexuality, and they won’t be invited back into the room any time soon. The entire point of transsexual ideology is the triumph of individual will and collectivist politics over biology.

This is highly relevant to Supreme Court confirmations, because militant transsexualism is all about using coercive force to make EVERYONE ignore biology. Trans fascism is quite literally about punishing anyone who brings biological science into the conversation.

There will be legal fights over trans fascism in the years to come, and when they reach the Supreme Court, radicals and their enablers have no business being there. KBJ was caught lying far too many times yesterday for anyone who knows what time it is to vote for confirmation.

These were not little lies she told, either. She lied about issues of great relevance to the American people, like critical race theory, pedophilia, and the 1619 Project garbage:

Five Key Points from Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Tough Day in the Senate

It’s illuminating that even at this late date, Democrats feel obliged to back away from the madness they gleefully impose on America’s children behind closed doors. They still can’t be loud and proud about their indoctrination programs. That’s a hopeful sign for the country.

But it matters a great deal that KBJ looks like another in the long line of Democrats who conceal their radicalism until they have the power to impose it on the rest of us. Our government is riddled with people like that, and it’s killing us. We need no more stealth radicals.

The story of the Left over the past half-century has been talking one way to the normies, when it’s time to cadge their votes or slip a nominee through confirmation hearings, but acting very differently when there’s no scrutiny. That’s why they fight so hard against scrutiny.

Supreme Court hearings are just partisan shouting matches and exercises of raw power these days, but if this were any kind of real deliberation or reasoned debate, KBJ would have disqualified herself yesterday. The GOP probably can’t stop this, but they should damn well try. /end

It’s time that Normal Americans stand up and call BS on this BS. Stop being afraid of “offending” someone or being called “racist” or “homophobic” or “hater” or some other verbal insult that the irrational truth deniers use to shut you up.

Stand for truth and common sense.

Daily Broadside | Virtue Picks Are Popular But Make Us Stupid

Daily Verse | 1 Samuel 15:7b
“The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Wednesday’s Reading: 1 Samuel 20-23

Wednesday and we’re about a week away from the end of the month as we count down the remaining time we must live under the thumb of the illegitimate ruling junta in the White House. Once we hit April, there will be about six months to the mid-terms; from there, it’s a full two years to the next presidential election.

Honestly, I don’t know what our country will look like by then, but judging by how it looks now, I’m not so sure there will still be sentient beings able to rebuild on whatever remains. Otherwise, we may have to just bulldoze the entire thing and start over.

For instance, here is what passes for profundity from the second-most powerful person in the United States (and, if we still believe it, in the world).

I’m moved. Aren’t you?

“We were … talking about the significance of the passage of time. Right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time, in terms of what we need to do, to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs. And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children.”

This is what you get when politics trump principles. This is not a serious person. She’s done nothing—zip! zilch! nada! bupkis!—to be a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States. And she shows what an empty, hollow and shallow thinker she is.

As Brit Hume points out, she’s only there because “she checked certain political boxes.”

Speaking of checking certain boxes—the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court of the United States is exactly the same. She’s black (check!), she’s a woman (check!), and she’s an ideologue who supports Critical Race Theory (check!) and is soft on child pornographers (check!).

In other words, she’s a Democrat’s dream candidate.

Listen to her reasoning for why she consistently under-sentenced child pornographers over the years:

She’s using the “volume” of materials the criminal was caught with as a baseline. Presumably, the higher the volume, the stronger the sentencing. She argues (rightly) that now, because of the Internet, it’s easy for child pornographers to amass large amounts of kiddie porn, which has led to “extreme disparities in the system”—which, by the way, someone should ask her to say more about. Any time I hear about “disparities” it’s usually about some oppressed minority group. How do guidelines created before easy access to child pornography create “extreme disparities” in the age of the Internet?

Don’t ever tell me that choosing the next SCOTUS Justice isn’t about finding someone who will advance the ideology of the party in power. Those who can’t get their laws passed through the legislature use the courts to sue for what they want.

Judge Brown Jackson is not someone we want on the court. She will likely not rule objectively based on the Constitution, but on the grievances she has against her fellow citizens.

Don’t let the Democrats force another virtue pick on the country.
