Liberal Racism: If you want to better understand the frustration that so many have with liberals & Democrats blaming everything on racism…just look at the hypocrisy on the left when Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina delivered the Republican response to President Biden’s State of the State.
Just read the articles below…disgusting, hypocritical, two faced and clearly demonstrates the political bias of the mainstream media and big tech.
Biden’s Radical Agenda: Biden’s first 100 days – among the most radical in all of American history. With the exception of the breakout of the Civil War at the onset of Lincoln’s presidency, the Biden administration’s first 100 days have been the most radical in American history.
He campaigned and promised to govern as a moderate and in a bipartisan manner. He lied.

Biden’s first 100 days — among the most radical in all of American history
With the exception of the breakout of the Civil War at the onset of Lincoln’s presidency, the Biden administration’s first 100 days have been the most radical in American history.
The elite media would have Americans believe that President Biden is doing really well with a slight majority approval rating of 52 percent, according to a poll by ABC News and the Washington Post. But compare President Biden and his 52 percent with President Kennedy, who received 83 percent approval at this stage, or President Obama’s 69 percent approval.
The fact is Biden has the third-lowest 100-day approval rating compared to every American president since World War II.
The only two presidents with lower approval ratings were President Donald Trump at 42 percent and President Gerald Ford at 48 percent.
Sen. Tim Scott’s comments on race ignite a fiery debate
Republicans rallied Thursday behind comments on race made by Sen. Tim Scott as part of his response to President Biden’s address to Congress, embracing what they hoped was an effective message in the ongoing debate over the role of racism in America that has sometimes left them struggling to articulate a clear position.
Scott, delivering the official GOP response Wednesday, suggested that liberals are using race as a political weapon, defining all White people as oppressors and seeking to use the language of civil rights to rig elections.
“Hear me clearly: America is not a racist country,” Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, said in the televised GOP rebuttal to Biden’s speech. “It’s backwards to fight discrimination with different types of discrimination. And it’s wrong to try to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present.”
Republicans, who have sometimes found themselves on the defensive in recent months when it comes to race, praised the South Carolina senator for addressing the notion that Democrats and Black activists are too quick to shout down those who disagree with them by calling them racists.
Allowing a racist slur against Tim Scott to trend confirms social media’s activist bias
If you were clinging to the argument, as so many have in the media, that Big Tech giants like Twitter aren’t biased toward conservatives, that ship sailed after the injustice that occurred against Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.).
Said injustice occurred on Wednesday night after Scott – the first African American elected to the Senate in the South since Reconstruction – delivered the Republican rebuttal to President Biden’s address to a joint session of Congress. Almost immediately after Scott’s speech was over, #UncleTim began trending on Twitter.
“Uncle Tim” is a play on Uncle Tom, the lead character in the anti-slavery novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” The character “Uncle Tom” has become synonymous with subservience and self-hatred.
So much for the tolerant left, where diversity is celebrated, except in situations where class acts such as Scott don’t carry the same ideology or worldview. And as we’ve seen increasingly on America’s college campuses, the most important diversity of all – diversity of thought – is dismissed in the most pious manner imaginable.
This isn’t your parents’ Democratic Party
Joe Biden projects a calm, moderate demeanor. He is aided by a lifetime spent in Washington, an acquiescent media, and the marked contrast with Donald Trump’s volatility.
While Trump’s outsize personality attracted constant media attention and caused his critics and admirers to overestimate the significance of his policies, Biden’s aides have adopted an intentionally understated approach designed to induce complacency. Bill Clinton negotiated with congressional Republicans to enact many of his most important domestic bills, triangulating between the two parties to find a third way. Barack Obama resorted to executive actions and largely failed to pass major legislation after he lost control of Congress.
Biden’s apparent takeaway from his predecessors is that Democrats were not aggressive enough at the beginning of their terms when they had the majority and the political capital to enact their agenda. He is determined not to repeat that mistake, and the result is aggressive liberalism playing offense. A more confident conservatism, building on its domestic economic and foreign policy successes in the 1980s, continued to exert its influence even when Democrats occupied the White House. Bill Clinton famously declared, “The era of big government is over,” recalling Reagan’s declaration, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” Clinton negotiated and signed the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, which included reductions in Medicare’s growth rate and amended Medicaid to allow lower provider rates.
Even Obama felt the need to include reductions in Medicare rates to partially offset spending in the Affordable Care Act, and negotiated the Budget Control Act, and its caps on spending and automatic sequestration cuts, after he lost his congressional majorities. Whereas the BBA, along with the dot-com bubble, helped produce temporary federal budget surpluses, today’s Democrats recently enacted a $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill and routinely ignore pay-as-you-go rules.
Rioters Will Be in for a Nasty Surprise if They Block Roadways in Oklahoma
Cornered motorists who run over violent demonstrators or rioters on roads and highways if they feel threatened are now protected from civil and criminal liability in Oklahoma after lawmakers passed a common-sense anti-rioting bill on Wednesday.
Throughout the last several years, the country has seen demonstrators from Black Lives Matter and other leftist groups take to highways, bridges and roads in order to hinder the flow of traffic and intimidate drivers.
Some of these instances have been dangerous or even deadly for both rioters and for innocent people who were simply trying to pass through.
Just look at the kind of behavior ordinary people minding their own business have had to endure this past year, specifically:
The Rise of Ron DeSantis
I first met Ron DeSantis at the Republican Jewish Coalition convention in Las Vegas in April 2016.
DeSantis was then a second-term House member with an eye on Marco Rubio’s Senate seat. Rubio had pledged in 2014 that he would not seek reelection if he ran for president in 2016; he would later change his mind. DeSantis was likely anticipating Rubio’s reversal when he and I sat down for coffee at the Venetian. But other avenues were open to a smart and determined politician from Florida that spring.
By April, the Republican presidential primary had shrunk to a three-way race: Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich. Polls showed Hillary Clinton with a 10-point lead over both Trump and Cruz. The GOP seemed doomed to a self-inflicted defeat in November. Forward-looking Republicans were already assessing future talent.
In 2017, DeSantis would position himself as one of President Trump’s most ardent champions. He would run for governor of Florida in 2018, releasing a commercial in which he instructed his infant children to “build the wall” and read to them from Trump’s The Art of the Deal, while a caption identified him as a “pitbull Trump defender.”
‘Ron’s regime’: Florida Republicans give DeSantis what he wants
Florida’s Republican-led Legislature is handing Gov. Ron DeSantis a series of culture war victories that are leaving Democrats increasingly worried he may be unstoppable heading into a 2022 reelection and possible presidential run.
The Legislature, which wraps up its two-month session this week, passed “anti-riot” legislation that DeSantis called for in the aftermath of last summer’s nationwide racial justice demonstrations. It approved a bill targeting Big Tech companies for “censoring” GOP voices. State lawmakers also passed a bill that bans so-called vaccine passports, an issue DeSantis has used to highlight his hands-off pandemic response that’s endeared him to Republicans across the country…
…Saul Anuzis, the former chair of the Michigan Republican Party, said DeSantis’ celebrity status is on the rise in national GOP circles. In recent months, DeSantis has become a Fox News and Fox Business fixture, appearing or being mentioned more than 500 times on the networks between March 1 and April 21, according to a service that tracks media appearances.
“He comes to all the Republican Governors Association events, and he is normally surrounded by members who want to meet and take pictures with him,” Anuzis said…
…National Republicans, though, continue to be impressed as his profile grows through efforts like his anti-rioting bill.
“I think it’s a good idea that will play well with the grassroots,” Anuzis said. “I think nationally he is very intriguing given what happened with his Covid response, the results in the state in 2020, and the bill dealing with rioting. He is someone to watch, and I think clearly on everyone’s short list for potential presidential candidates.”
The Post-Trump Vision: Haley Says It Is Time to Expand the GOP Tent
On Thursday, Nikki Haley appeared at a gathering of conservative women in Phoenix to discuss the GOP’s political future and how the party can embrace new voters by adopting a new direction.
While the former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor did not disclose her 2024 presidential plans, Haley did hint that she would play an active role in helping Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections.
Due to recent events, a change in strategy may be necessary if the party wishes to maintain relevance in the Grand Canyon State.
During the Arizona special election last year, incumbent Republican Sen. Martha McSally lost her seat to Democrat Mark Kelly. In the presidential election that same year, Arizona went blue for the first time since 1996.
According to the former ambassador, there is a lot at stake for Republicans going forward. But Haley was not without ideas for how party members could work together and “get the job done.”
Anti-Voting-Integrity CEOs Retreat, Evade, Stonewall
From the Department of The-Heck-You-Say, it appears that the woke corporate leaders who attacked the Georgia voting-integrity law, some even labeling the state racist for wanting clean and honest elections, had no idea what they were talking about.
I know, right? Virtue shouting is uninformed, wrong, offensive and deeply divisive. Who’d’a thunk?
By way of reminder: the Georgia voting-integrity law is a simple attempt to increase the honesty of and improve public faith in the state’s elections. The central provision requires voter ID, ID which is provided free in Georgia, and need be renewed only every 8 years. Other provisions expand voting opportunities, as by making ballot-drop locations for early voting permanent for the first time, and by expanding weekend voting. Slow Joe “Jim Eagle” Biden falsely claimed that the bill denies people food and drink in voting lines. Instead, it only forbids campaign workers from bribing voters while they stand in line.
Quelle horreur!
Four companies that had come out in hasty, thoughtless opposition to Georgia’s law had annual shareholder meetings last week: Coca-Cola, Bank of America, Levi-Strauss, and Pfizer. The Free Enterprise Project at the National Center for Public Policy Research (for which I work) “attended” their meetings and submitted questions to the respective CEOs asking for specifics about their objections to the Georgia law.
The results, as they say, were revealing.
Millennial migration reshapes political geography
Garima Vyas always wanted to live in a big city. She thought about New York, long the destination for 20-something strivers, but was wary of the cost and complicated subway lines.
So Vyas picked another metropolis that’s increasingly become young people’s next-best option – Houston.
Now 34, Vyas, a tech worker, has lived in Houston since 2013. “I knew I didn’t like New York, so this was the next best thing,” Vyas said. “There are a lot of things you want to try when you are younger – you want to try new things. Houston gives you that, whether it’s food, people or dating. And it’s cheap to live in.”
The choices by Vyas and other members of the millennial generation of where to live have reshaped the country’s political geography over the past decade. They’ve left New York and California and settled in places less likely to be settings for TV sitcoms about 20-something urbanites, including Denver, Houston and Orlando, Florida. Drawn by jobs and overlooked cultural amenities, they’ve helped add new craft breweries, condominiums and liberal voters to these once more-conservative places.
Can America Tame the Dragon?
For the foreseeable future, America’s number one foreign-policy challenge will be its relationship with the People’s Republic of China. Putin’s intrigues, the machinations of ayatollahs in Tehran, Europe’s fading relevance in global politics, and the dysfunctionality that plagues Latin America will continue to shape Washington’s calculus about how to promote America’s interests abroad. But whoever occupies the White House, China will preoccupy their attention in international affairs.
A fair amount of rhetoric presently inhibits clear reflection upon the optimal way forward for America. On parts of the right, we hear calls for an “immediate” decoupling of the Chinese and American economies. Yet few are outlining precisely how that might occur or acknowledging the subsequent costs that would be incurred by American consumers and businesses. From sections of the left we hear a parroting of President Xi Jinping’s lines about China’s deep commitment to international law. This goes hand-in-hand with a reticence to admit just how abominably the Chinese Communist Party regime treats large segments of its own population.
The crisis in Sino-US affairs has, however, created an opportunity for fundamentally rethinking the relationship. Any serious reset, I’d suggest, involves three recognitions.
One concerns jettisoning the extravagant rhetoric embraced by Democratic and Republican administrations from the early-1990s onwards that China’s economic opening to the world would set in train processes that would eventually, if not inevitably, bring about political liberalization. Plainly it has not. The language and logic of economic determinism needs to be dispensed with.
The second is acknowledging that Beijing has abandoned the late Deng Xiaoping’s policy of “hiding strengths, biding time, never taking the lead” to ensure that China’s rise as a global power did not alarm the world. Instead Xi is striking a bolder and assertive tone in foreign policy, backed up by increased military activity and spending. Evidently, China has acquired a fair higher appetite for risk as it seeks to realize national, regional and international ambitions
Lastly, we should recognize that China is considerably weaker than many realize. That’s not a reason for US policymakers to be complacent. But insufficient attention to the colossal problems confronting Beijing could easily result in Washington making choices that undermine America’s ability to address its China challenge.
Russia Testing U.S. As Military Flights by Alaska Reach Cold War Levels
Russian military aircraft activity around Alaska is at its highest level since the end of the Soviet Union, and is stretching the U.S. units responding to them, a top U.S. military official has said.
The comments by Air Force Lt. Gen. David Krumm, who serves as Commander, Alaskan Command, come amid heightened tensions between Russia and the U.S. as both countries engage in tit-for-tat aircraft escorts around each other’s airspaces.
“We have certainly seen an increase in Russian activity,” Krumm told a virtual Air Force Association event on Wednesday, “we intercepted over 60 aircraft last year … We monitor more than that.”
He said that “the highest activity we’ve had since the fall of the Soviet Union occurred last year,” adding that “we’ve intercepted more airplanes in and around the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone than in a really, really long time.”
