Scattershots – 14jun21 (updated 20jun21)

George Rebane

Kamala Harris has been Bumblebrain’s presumptive replacement before 2022.  The thought was that Biden would resign due to health or family or some other reason, Kamala would step in and then be the reigning incumbent ready for a full term in 2024.  It all made sense before the Dems and the country were exposed to Kackling Kamala who has made a fool of herself since inauguration as reflected by the new lows in her approval rating (here).  Now Bumblebrain, even with all of his G7 gaffes (here and here), looks better than his erstwhile VP, which puts the Dems in a quandary.  Everyone knows Joe ‘the Gaffe’ Biden will not be prepared for a second term even if he does finish his first term.  I think the Dems’ new problem is that, given three more years of Kackling Kamala, she also will be unelectable in 2024.  So everyone now is quietly looking for a Plan B.

[15jun21 update]  Democrats don’t have a lock on butt stupid.  That was proved by Republicans, 203 of whom voted for a House bill – ‘See the Crisis Act’ - that would require Kamala to visit the border before she goes on any other travels. (more here)  Such a proscription by one branch of our government on another is not only politically infeasible, it’s also blatantly unconstitutional.  I have no idea why so many Republicans signed on to this political stunt that had a snowball’s chance in hell of passing, and made them look like idiots for the attempt.  Both parties have their lapses from sanity, it’s only the relative frequency of these lapses that make the Democrats clear winners in the competition.

[19jun21 update]  ‘Tax break’ and ‘tax loophole’ – where did these terms come from?  This question struck me this morning as we were reading the morning newspapers (at our house these are The Union and WSJ).  After little noodling and discussion, we came to the conclusion that these terms cement in our national understanding the notion that our earnings first and foremost belong to the government.  They may justifiably be taxed or retrieved by the government, at its pleasure and to any extent.  ‘Break’ is meant to convey the meaning of a dispensation and reduction of the tribute that was previously remitted by a large now-favored cohort of taxpayers.  With a tax break they now get to enjoy an interlude or break from having to pay their formerly full fare to the IRS.  Note that tax break is a sometime thing, it is not a permanent reduction in our tax policy and may be revoked without prejudice by the government at any time.  The money is still theirs, you’re just getting a temporary break.

Now a tax loophole is something completely opposite – it is a lawful means of reducing taxes, discovered individually, and valid for an indefinite period until some activist or government worthy successfully militates for closing it.  By its label, a ‘loophole’ connotes something sordid, sneaky, and less than upright.  People taking advantage of tax loopholes, no matter how legal, are assigned to inhabit the nether regions of our ethical society.  A society in which good people would not stoop so low as to busy themselves going through the small print of our tax code to ferret out ways in which only they can reduce their tax and not pay their ‘fair share’.  When found, such loopholes are seldom shared for the same reasons successful investment algorithms are not shared.  But the idea is the same as for tax break – in exercising a loophole, you are denying government its just deserts from your earnings and assets.

‘Some people can be fooled all of the time, and all people can be fooled only some of the time, but most people can be fooled most of the time.’  I recall constructing that shibboleth for one of my past posts.  Giving it more thought now makes it illuminate how the majority of our electorate is constantly bamboozled by the lamestream media as revealed by various polls.  It is also easy to confirm by comparing coverage and interpretations of undisputed facts (almost all government sourced) and related issues reported by the lamestream and the admittedly rightwing outlets.  The asymmetry is in that much of today’s news never sees the light of day on the pages of NYT, WaPo, et al, and the programs of CNN, MSNBC, et al. And what they do report is more often than not contextually false.  This observation alone explains away why such a large contingent of Americans willfully swallow, tolerate, and repeat the growing body of woke insanities du jour – they know no better.

[20jun21 update]  The impending passage of SR1 – the Senate’s version of the horrendous House HR1 – would change the scope of our constitutional federalism and permanently ensconce the nationwide means for voter fraud and irregularities to benefit Democrats.  That party has been issuing a constant stream of lies claiming that the states’ various voter integrity projects will deny the vote to minorities.  The facts from recent elections tell a totally different story.  In sum, there is no evidence that requirements like voter ID, pre-registration, and election day proximal voting periods have ever reduced minority voter turnout or lower shares of voting by registered voters.  This makes no nevermind to the Left that keeps repeating the same lies day after day.  Write your senators to oppose SR1.

I would say the it was Kampala’s disastrous week going to Guatemala and meeting with the Presidente of Mexico, followed by the impetuous angry answer to Lou Holt’s softball interview ‘What’s it to you, chump. Why do you care??!’ that got the Dem Establishment, NYT, and CNN, and the Tech giants saying, “Oppps, the Matrix is not perfect. She ain’t ready for prime time. Extend the time table” out 18 months. We got a problem here. She only got 3-6% of the Democrat vote when she through her hat in. If the Dems don’t really like her and the Republicans don’t like her, her unlikeables will way below Hillary’s was.

Wait, I am going to just watch them hamper on Jan 6 everyday until the midterms. Trump, Trump, Trump! Insurrection! Racist insurrectionists, all of them. All, especially the Uncle Toms. Traitors.

JOE BIDEN REPRESENTS US ABROAD
Check out this video of Joe Biden trying to talk during the G7 meeting in Cornwall. I can only agree with Tammy Bruce’s observations. The man’s mental capacity is obviously inadequate to fulfill his job responsibilities. The press can avoid talking about Biden’s rapid decline, but they can’t prevent either our allies or our adversaries from noticing it.

“This is horrible....”

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2021/06/joe-biden-represents-us-abroad.php

BIDEN OFFENDS BRITS ON BREXIT

It is striking that Joe Biden’s foray into domestic U.K. politics had no possible legitimate purpose, in terms of advancing American interests. It was purely an effort to advance a global left-wing agenda by supporting the European Union over an independent Great Britain.

And yet, such is the power of the United States, even under the feckless Joe Biden, that Boris Johnson has made conciliatory noises about what must be, to him, a thoroughly noxious administration. Nile Gardiner is more candid:

“The arrogance of the Biden administration ahead of the G7 meeting in Cornwall has been nothing short of breathtaking. This is no way to treat America’s closest friend and ally. The British people didn’t vote for Joe Biden and the Democrats. They voted for Brexit and Boris Johnson’s Conservatives. They voted to leave the EU and take back control of Britain’s destiny.”
***
Biden takes a very different approach to Trump when it comes to Europe and Brexit. He is a Eurofederalist at heart, who as vice president under Obama remarked in a speech before the European Parliament in 2010 that Brussels had a legitimate claim to be the “capital of the free world”.

That is as good a place as any to leave it.

The man's been showing lit-up billboards even as he ran in the primaries. On the open job market, he'd have trouble getting a gig sweeping up at the local flop house. He's a place holder - they prop him up at the desk and let him sign his name. Mostly a bunch of Obama retreads are running the show. I think they mistook Harris as someone who could at least remember the script.
C,mon, man!

I think the Dems are counting on Trump running again which would be a slam dunk win for whoever runs. Trump will just add to his loser legacy. He's the gift that keeps on giving for the Dems.

And just who would that be Emery? Dodard Biden? "LOL" Harris?

You forget how the game is played?

Biden is showing his aged weakness at the summit.
He can't even talk big against Putin. And his BS is shining through.
Great press conference today.. ALL staged with pre submitted questions, and someone ("O"?) talking in his ear.(coaching what to say)

[Walt]

Hear the Putin interview ?
The dude from NBC questions Vlad about the dissidents he has locked up(Political prisoners)
And Vlad shoots back,, "well, you have 300 or so locked up for voicing political disagreement"..
Score for Putin.

So Biden and Queen Nan are no better that the Commies.

[Walt]

Vlad's complete response.
" VLADIMIR PUTIN: Of course not. We don't have this kind of habit, of assassinating anybody. That's one. Number two is I want to ask you: Did you order the assassination of the woman who walked into the Congress and who was shot and killed by a policeman? Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering the Congress? And they didn't go there to steal a laptop. They came with political demands. 450 people—

KEIR SIMMONS: You're talking about the Capitol riot.

VLADIMIR PUTIN: —have been detained. They're facing— they're looking— they're— they're looking at jail time, between 15 and 25 years. And they came to the Congress with political demands. Isn't that persecution for political opinions? Some have been accused of plotting to topple— to take over-government power. Some are accused of— robbery. They didn't go there to rob. The people who you have mentioned, yes, they were convicted for violating their status, having been previously convicted— given convent— given suspended sentences— which were essentially warning to not— violate the Russian laws.

And they completely ignored the requirements of the law. The court went on and— passed— and turned the conviction into real jail time. Thousands and thousands of people ignore— requirements of the law, and they have nothing to do with political activities, in Russia every year and they go to jail. If somebody— if somebody is actually using political activities as a shield to deal with their issues, including— achieve their commercial— goals, then— it's something that they have to be held responsible for."

Well with the captive press shielding him......

He’ll walk out to a press conference naked or something else Bidenesque and they’ll finally have to report on it.

Probably.

[Paul Emery]

Granted George, that's another question. The question is whether Trump wounld take down the Republican Party with him. I can't see him gracefully bowing out. He has no real allegiance to the party so he won't pull a Paul
Ryan for example and do a see you later and disappear. Of course who knows what might happen.

I am confident Biden will last the term and then there will be a full Democratic primary. I don't see an automatic ascendancy for Kamela.

[Walt]

Empty Emery doesn't comprehend that the "old" GOP is an endangered species. Trump has opened the real Conservative's eyes. The never Trumpers are so few. Every Repub who voted against Trump may lose their seat... I guess you missed that news.

Nor Repub running for Pres. got as many votes as Trump. I guess you missed that fact as well.

That should help your TDS along nicely.

[Walt]

Emery has yet to explain the 13 seat LOSS by his Nonsocialist
party.
With the nation having 3RD world shithole status,, the price of everything sky high thanks to Biden's wrecking crew,
I'm sure Emery can explain how his Nonsocialist party keeps anything.
Miss Trump yet?

[Don Bessee]

They did it on purpose and will pay the price next year! -

The prices of gasoline and crude oil both moved higher on Monday, squeezing U.S. consumers in the grip of the strongest inflation in over a decade

Crude prices have been persistently climbing this year as global demand rises and U.S. investment in oil production is stymied by the Biden administration’s anti-fossil fuel policies.

Not everyone agrees that prices are likely to come down. Analysts say that the push for electric vehicles and the threat of higher taxes and more regulation are depressing investment in oil production. Commodities investor Leigh Goehring recently told the Wall Street Journal that consumption will top production capacity for a sustained period. The situation could produce “the next oil crisis,” Goehring said.

"
President Joe Biden chuckled and then went silent Monday at the NATO summit after a reporter asked him about Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“In a weekend interview, Vladimir Putin laughed at the suggestion that you had called him a ‘killer,'” a CNN reporter asked. “Is that still your belief, sir, that he is a killer?”

The reporter followed with a second question, also asking, “Do you believe if he does agree to cooperate, then what kind of a challenge do you find yourself in? How would you ever trust him? And if Ronald Reagan said, ‘trust, but verify,’ what do you say to Vladimir Putin?” (RELATED: ‘I Wish You Good Health’: Putin Responds To Biden’s ‘Killer’ Comments)

Biden laughed and then replied, “The answer to the first question?…. I’m laughing too. Well, actually I… well look, I mean he has made clear that uh, uhh… ”

Biden then paused for seven seconds."

And Emery calls that prezidential material...
And the Proggy press make every excuse under the sun.

[scenes]

"And somehow you think you can beat Trump twice."

As usual, it depends on who the opponent is.

I can't see Trump losing to Harris seeing as how you are now dealing with two incumbents as opposed to an incumbent vs. a story, but maybe they'll stick someone else on stage (Nadler?). Also, the Chyna-lab created virus won't be ravaging the land. Of course, a lot depends on what sort of self-defining movement is created out of the Republican party, Trump will simply mold himself to it's demands.

Personally, I like the idea of Trump becoming a House member and then becoming Speaker, but it's too complicated a path. Funny though.

Whoo-wee, can you imagine all of the mostly-peaceful arsons that would break out on a Trump victory? The plans were in place for massive nationwide 'protests' if Trump won, so the blueprints just need dusting off. When you've got folks like Susan Rosenberg on the loose, any old thing can happen.

‘Democratic Showdown: Kamala vs. Manchin’

As for Manchin, he is sitting in the catbird seat in the Democratic Party. He holds the whip hand over both Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Biden. For if the West Virginian refuses to bend or break on the filibuster, then not only will the voting rights bill fail in the Senate, so, too, could gun control, D.C. statehood, climate change, and immigration legislation.
Speaking in Tulsa on the 100th anniversary of the racial atrocity there, Joe Biden belatedly turned to the issue of voting rights, to explain why he is having such difficulty winning passage of the party’s priority legislation.

“I (Joe Biden) hear all the folks on TV saying, ‘Why doesn’t Biden get this done?'”

“Well, because Biden only has a majority of, effectively, four votes in the House and a tie in the Senate, with two members of the Senate who vote more with my Republican friends.”

Biden was referring to Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

“But we’re not giving up,” Biden hastily added.

——————————
‘Joe Manchin: Racist or Profile in Courage’

“What has given this moderate Democrat from West Virginia such an opportunity to write himself into the history books? It is the unique political circumstances of 2021.
In 1859, Abraham Lincoln related the tale of an Eastern monarch who charged his wise men with discovering words that would everywhere and always be true.

The wise men went away and returned to present the monarch with this six-word sentence: “And this, too, shall pass away.”

So, the question: How long will Sen. Joe Manchin’s hour of power last before it, too, passes away?

What will Manchin make of it? And what will his legacy be?

For, at present, Manchin is the man in the arena, the indispensable senator as far as Democrats are concerned. He alone can make or break virtually the entire agenda that progressives had anticipated whistling through both houses in the first session of the 117th Congress.

Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer must meet Manchin’s demands or see their initiatives fail, one by one, in the U.S. Senate.“

Seems that if their claim that no fraud or irregularities occurred in 2020, they'd be the first to want to demonstrate that with election documents, chain of custody certifications, server logs, and even mailed in ballots. Weren't any of these things shown to the judges who ruled against the voter integrity plaintiffs? On what then did they make their rulings?

[Walt]

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/06/15/joe-biden-fiddles-with-notecard-covered-with-anti-trump-talking-points-in-england/
"President Joe Biden fiddled with a notecard covered with anti-Trump talking points during a press conference in England on Sunday.

The card was accompanied by several others as One America News filmed Biden during the press conference in Cornwall. It was labeled “DOJ Talking Points” and featured an array of subjects, most all of which had to do with former President Donald Trump’s time in office.
“Trump abused power/Trump DOJ [Department of Justice] out of control,” said the top marker, with another stating “Now we have to clean it up.”
Another point Biden wanted to make to those listening, according to the card, was that his “values and principles” would be reflected in the Department of Justice instead of Trump’s, claiming he had already “made it clear.”

“I’ve made it clear this DOJ will reflect my values and principles and priorities — not Donald Trump’s,” the card stated.
While Biden held onto the stack of cards throughout much of the speech, he did not specifically give remarks on the DOJ under President Trump’s leadership."

The evidence is clear. Trump still scares the shit out of a LIB.

We've got to do everything now. This is our only chance!’" the senator told the crowd.

Barrasso accused Biden of being "along for the ride" with Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the helm of the party’s leadership. "

Here's what Putin thinks of his hero.
https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2021/06/15/vladimir-putin-dismisses-joe-biden-career-man-fake-macho-posturing/

"When NBC interviewer Keir Simmons asked Putin to contrast dealing with Biden versus his predecessor, Donald Trump, Putin made it clear he sees Biden as much easier to handle because he is a predictable lifetime professional politician, not a renegade outsider from beyond the “U.S. establishment” like Trump:

Well even now, I believe that former US President Mr. Trump is an extraordinary individual, a talented individual, otherwise he would not have become US President. He is a colorful individual. You may like him or not. And, but he didn’t come from the U.S. establishment.

He had not been part of big time politics before, and some like it some don’t like it but that is a fact. President Biden, of course, is radically different from Trump because President Biden is a career man. He has spent virtually his entire adulthood in politics."

"Come on man, I have only be in office 120 days. Give me a break," Inset angry huff here.

Hmm. Excuse me, Mr President, but haven't you been in office for z144 days?

" The asymmetry is in that much of today’s news never sees the light of day"

I admit that it's interesting to see who covers a story and who doesn't.

Example.

You know, maybe it isn't news at all. The Left's street army hardly ever surprises you, it's just the new normal.

Scalise: 'Something wrong' when terrorists 'can find America's southern border' but Harris can't

“She still hasn't gone to the border," the Louisiana Republican said at the Faith and Freedom conference on Friday. "There are people on the terrorist watch list from the Middle East who have roamed across our southern border in the last 6 months. So people on the terrorist watch list can find America's southern border, and the vice president of the United States can't. There's something wrong there. Vice President Harris, come down to our southern border and look at the debacle that you and President Biden have created and fix it. We'll tell you how to do it."

Scalise almost lost his life to political violence in 2017, when he was gravely wounded by a leftist gunman who sprayed a congressional Republican baseball practice with semiautomatic weapons fire.

Scalise, who visited the border recently, said border agents told him "the things that Donald Trump did worked."

"I know the left hates Donald Trump, well, go call it your own wall," he said. "Call it your own 'remain in Mexico' policy. Whatever you want to do. Those things worked. President Trump negotiated an agreement with Mexico to say if you want to seek asylum, stay in Mexico to do it because 95% of the claims are rejected."

This week, some Republican members of the House called on Biden to remove Harris as the "border czar." “

If Kamalalalalahahaha Harris really wants to find the roots causes of our border mega crises, all she has to do is look at Joe Biden. Or, the lady in the mirror.

Update to update. When it doubt, go live on Tulsa Time.

‘SULKING White House Press Whine About Implosion of Voting Bill, Nasty Red States’

KELLY O’DONNELL: You very ably went through the President's history on voting rights and related issues, and you laid out all the times he has spoken out. But this lectern is available to him today. We have not heard him talk about it. He has the biggest megaphone.

PSAKI: [Irritated.] Aside from the Tulsa speech just a few weeks ago.

O'DONNELL: No, I’m talking about when the vote is happening, using the President’s time. Clearly the President is choosing not to do that now. Why? Where is the President on this issue on a day when they're voting?
