Which 'movie star' has fallen the furthest in your eyes in terms of respect?

31/10/2024

You can sometimes learn about people based on what they say. But you can learn far more based upon what they do. In the case of Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-9th IL District) some disturbing patterns have come to light merely from looking at bills she voted against in Congress.

When it comes to keeping Americans safer, Schakowsky has a ‘peculiar’ approach. This includes her positions on border security and responding to the invasion of our Southern border. She voted against …
• H Res 1213 - A resolution regarding violence against law enforcement officers
• HR 7343 - Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act
• HR 7511 - Laken Riley Act (to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody immigrants who have been charged in the United States with theft. Laken Riley was brutally r***d and murdered by an illegal immigrant.)
• HR 7530 - DC CRIMES Act
• HR 8205 - Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act
• HR 8752 - Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2025

When it comes to anti-Semitism and defending Israel, though Schakowsky is Jewish, her voting history is disturbingly clear. Equally confusing is her apparent support for terrorists: Consider that she voted against …
H Res 883 - Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the slogan, "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is antisemitic and its use must be condemned
• HR 5826 - No Paydays for Hostage-Takers Act
• HR 5921 - No U.S. Financing for Iran Act of 2023
• HR 6046 - Standing Against Houthi Aggression Act
• HR 6090 - Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023
• HR 6323 - Iran Counterterrorism Act of 2023
• HR 6408 - To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to terminate the tax-exempt status of terrorist supporting organizations
• HR 6603 - No Technology for Terror Act
• HR 8369 - Israel Security Assistance Support Act

When it comes to defending America from her foreign adversaries, Schakowsky’s voting record demonstrates that, in Congress, she represents a consistent advocate for China’s CCP. The same holds true when it comes to supporting American technology, agriculture and energy independence. She has voted against …
• S 2228 - Building Chips in America Act of 2023
• HR 7980 - End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America Act of 2024
• HR 1398 - Protect America's Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act of 2024
• HR 9456 - Protecting American Agriculture from Foreign Adversaries Act of 2024
• HR 1516 - DHS Restrictions on Confucius Institutes and Chinese Entities of Concern Act
• HR 6192 - Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act
• HR 6009 - Restoring American Energy Dominance Act
• HR 485 - Protecting Health Care for All Patients Act

Her voting record also indicates that Schakowsky is not a defender of election integrity. Consider that she has voted against …
• HR 192 - To prohibit individuals who are not citizens of the United States from voting in elections in the District of Columbia
• HR 8281 - Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act
• HR 8314 - No Foreign Election Interference Act

Early results are in and it looks bad ...

Wait ... early results?

Pennsylvania ABC affiliate jumped the gun?

Or was this designed to make Trump supporters throw up their arms in defeat?

Americans need to get out and vote and don't let anything the Left pulls stop them!

Hillary called us Deplorables.

Biden called us Neanderthals.

Now, Biden calls us Garbage.

Did you know that the song Yankee Doodle Dandy was a song that the Redcoats sang in derision to the Patriots of the American Revolution? But, just as we've taken Hillary's insults, Biden's insults and all the other insults and turned them around and thrown them right back at them, that what the patriots did with Yankee Doodle Dandy.

We'll sing your song. We'll take your insults with a smile. And then we'll spit in your eye.

God Bless America!

Left has mischaracterized abortion and those who oppose it

It's not just that the Left has redefined abortion as merely "a choice," but they've also characterized those who are Pro-Life as woman haters who want to control women's bodies.

Women choosing abortion 'are' making a choice but it's not the only choice that brought them to that critical moment. And the choice they make is to 'terminate' the life of one of the most innocents. They've made a choice to kill an infant at some point in its development.

Those who are Pro-Life are not so because they have a desire to control women; they have a desire to save the lives of yet-born children. They would applaud women who find a way to avoid abortions (the NIH lists 15 forms of contraception not including abstinance), whether through avoiding the pregnancy or, if they truly do not want the child, a terrible idea to consider in its own right, giving the child life and then arranging for an adoption by someone who does want their child.

How is it that no one who has criticized this book has actually read the book? What does it say about people who criticize something without having the intellectual courage and honesty before commenting?

A Deplorable Neanderthal Contemplates ‘White Guilt’

27/10/2024

On a YahooNews story, some idiot responded to a comment I made about Clinton claiming Trump and pandemic were to blame for inflation. This was his comment:

"keith
1 hour ago

actually Mr. Trump increased the size of the national debt more than the last 4 Presidents combined before him (and that didn't even include covid)"

This is my response to Keith:

That's not true, though it is the Left's narrative. While keeping in mind that the US House has 'a little' to do with the national debt, and acknowledging that the increase of the national debt under Trump was not his greatest accomplishment, excepting the effect of the Pandemic, Trump's increases in the national debt were lower than under the Biden-Harris administration:

Debt Increase in $Billions by year (2017-2023)

2017 - $672

2018 - $1271

2019 - $1203

2020 - $5029

2021 - $1869

2022 - $1803

2023 - $2581

This clearly demonstrates that only Covid accounts for a greater increase in the national debt. For instance, if we consider the years 2017-2019 under Trump, and 2021-2023 under Biden/Harris:

2017-2019 average = $1048.7

2021-2023 average = $2084.3

Maybe we should leave 2021 out of the equation and only do the years 2017-2018 and 2022-2023:

2017-2018 average = $971.5

2022-2023 average = $2192

This is reality without the Leftist narrative.

Imagine if the world's largest search engine was biased in the opposite direction.

What bias?

I regularly do searches pertaining to the presidential race and other matters that you might call political.

While I don't mind seeing articles written from the perspective of the other's side, I don't think it's appropriate that conservative views should be buried three or four pages down in virtually every related search that I perform.

This is a form of censorship. But, more than that, it's a form of mind control.

People who do searches on current issues will, unless they are persistent, come away with one perspective - the Left's.

Google plays to big of a role in our lives today to be allowed to tilt the scales so constantly.

After Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016 - in fact the very next day - there was a video from Google's corporate headquarters where an auditorium was filled with Google employees. Many were in tears. All of them were distraught about the outcome of the election.

The president of Google took the stage and criticized Google's performance in the election - he said they should have done more to stop Trump. And, worse yet, he promised that the IT giant would definitely do more in the future.

We saw what that looked like in 2020. We're still seeing it now. We can only pray that common sense and wisdom are greater than Google. It's our only hope as a nation of freedom loving Americans.

Kelly Wegener wants you to believe she's an economic guru but, as this article in newly revised McHenryCountyBlog.com demonstrates, she can't even handle submitting her finance disclosures on time. Her dishonesty seems symptomatic of a Democrat party that will bend to any depth to stretch or abandon the truth (read on to learn more):
