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 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 Broadside | The Seventies Called and Want Their Crisis Back

Daily Verse | Ezra 6:12
May God, who has caused his Name to dwell there, overthrow any
king or people who lifts a hand to change this decree or to
destroy this temple in Jerusalem. I Darius have decreed it.
Let it be carried out with diligence.

Happy Thursday as we head toward the final day of the week. Neither G.I. Joe nor Barbie were anatomically correct.

So how is everybody liking this new administration? Are we all having fun yet?

I’m old enough to remember sitting in the gas lines of 1973 during the Nixon administration. The average price was supposedly about 38.5 cents per gallon, but I faintly recall seeing gas for .27 cents per gallon while sitting in line with my dad to fill up. I think we had an odd-number license plate which told us which day we could visit the gas stations.

The gas crisis is supposedly out on the east coast, but the Sam’s Club here in the Midwest had long lines, two of their pumps were locked, and it was $3.05/gal. I expect that we’ll soon see a run on gas as people hoard or rush to fill up before the wells dry up.

And inflation is rising at the fastest pace since 2008. Yippee! Biden is returning us to normal so fast, we missed Exit 2015 and wound up traveling back to five decades ago.

Some say that history doesn’t repeat itself. Maybe so, but if this isn’t a repeat, it’s a darn good impression. We’ve got a war starting in the Middle East, Iran is causing most of the trouble, Russia is meddling by hacking a U.S. gas pipeline within the borders of our country (but no one can hack an election!) and China is laughing its fortune cookies off over all the chaos they’ve sown with the weaponized bat virus.

But no more mean tweets!

As the country circles the drain, we’ve got an incompetent, drooling mediocrity pretending to have it all under control but calling a lid at 3:34 p.m. on Tuesday. Just a reminder that president-in-exile Trump only slept four hours a night and he got things done. Resident Biden has to take naps to let his brain reset and just lets the country (and the rest of the world) go to hell. I suppose that’s a form of getting things done.

But … no more mean tweets!

Hope all of you “Americans” who voted for Joe Biden are loving what you’ve brought down on our heads. Hope you virtue signaling whiners about how “racist” and “misogynist” and “xenophobic” and “nativist” Trump was are getting your third Obama term, good and hard.

No more mean tweets!

Fortunately, Republicans took a necessary step yesterday and ousted Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from her House leadership position. Republicans need to rid themselves of the #NeverTrump and other squish Republicans who act like Democrats. So-called “Republicans” like Cheney, Mitt Romney and Adam Kinzinger. Maybe they’ll all do us a favor and start their own par — hey, look at this!

More than 100 Republicans, including some former elected officials, are preparing to release a letter this week threatening to form a third party if the Republican Party does not make certain changes, according to an organizer of the effort.

The statement is expected to take aim at former President Donald J. Trump’s stranglehold on Republicans, which signatories to the document have deemed unconscionable.

Not “more than 100 Republicans”! Fey!

You know who’s on that list? People like Christine Todd Whitman, former governor of New Jersey who governed like a Democrat. Tom Ridge, former governor of Pennsylvania. Crazy Barbara Comstock. And guess who’s organizing this pathetic effort? Miles Taylor, the former Trump administration low-level DHS official who wrote an Op-Ed and a book (anonymously) condemning Trump while still a paid member of the administration!

Nothing like being a traitor and then calling other traitors to join you in a new political party. Maybe call themselves the “Backstabbers.” Has a nice, authentic ring to it.

These are a bunch of washed up politicians looking for their next grift, who want to pull us back to the good ol’ days of pretending to fight the Democrats while living off the backs of taxpayers. I say, with all sincerity, good riddance.

Unfortunately, that’s the only really good news coming out of Washington. For now, the best we can do is ride the waves that the current occupant of the White House is creating, holding on for dear life and praying that there’s a red tsunami in the mid-terms.

That is, if the current regime isn’t successful in codifying into law the illegal tactics it used to steal the 2020 election.
