Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Ted, you’re not supposed to say that out loud. – California Rep. Ted Lieu is one of the most execrable members of congress. In addition to the mere fact of being a Democrat, Lieu joins Maxine Waters in combining the worst combination of character traits any human being can possess: Overwhelming arrogance mixed with massive stupidity.
On Wednesday, these traits led Lieu to let one of the many Democrat unspoken cats out of the bag on national television, telling CNN’s vapid host Brianna Keiller the following:
“I would love if I could have more than five minutes to question witnesses. Unfortunately, I don’t get that opportunity. However, I would love to be able to regulate the content of speech. The First Amendment prevents me from doing so, and that’s simply a function of the First Amendment”.
Yes, friends, in case you weren’t already aware of it, your Democrat friends want to regulate what you can and cannot say, and in fact are already well along the way to doing that in social media and our nation’s college campuses. They aren’t supposed to talk about it publicly, but every once in a while one of their dumber colleagues, like Lieu, slips up. There you go.
Speaking of Democrats… – If you still doubt that the participants in the “migrant caravan” assembled down in Tijuana would become Democrats if they ever manage to enter the United States, Tuesday should have locked the case up for you.
That was the day that several hundred of them staged two separate “marches” to the U.S. Consulate in that Mexican city, and upon arrival demanded that they either be allowed into the United States, or that they be paid $50,000 each – by American taxpayers – to return to their home country. I swear I do not make this stuff up.
So, not only do they want to come into America where most of them plan to become wards of the state, they now want to be paid reparations for their stupid decision to leave their home countries. Literally, the perfect Democrat voter mindset.
And now you know why Democrat Party leaders are so desperate to preserve our failed immigration laws.
A real Texas Hispanic challenges Beto Mania. – Figuring I suppose that hey, if a a good-looking young white Texas guy pretending to be an Hispanic can run for president with no visible qualifications for the job, why can’t a real Hispanic Texan do the same, San Antonio’s Julian Castro announced on Wednesday he is forming an exploration committee in preparation to run for the presidency in 2020.
He’s a virtual clone of Irish Bob O’Rourke: Young, good-looking, good speaker, looks good on television, great at reciting approved talking points to the media, all the qualifications anyone apparently needs anymore to run for the Democrat nomination. Unlike Irish Bob, though, Castro actually is Hispanic. He also has some apparent actual qualifications for the job, being a former successful mayor of a major city (San Antonio) and having served as HUD Secretary for a few years during the Obama Administration.
Also unlike Irish Bob, though, Castro has not demonstrated the ability to excite the Democrat masses or raise tens of millions of dollars from wealthy leftists in Hollywood and New York. That is, of course, part of what his “exploratory committee” will be exploring in the coming weeks, because Castro, unlike Irish Bob, is not married to a billionaire, and won’t be able to largely self-fund his primary race if need be.
Ocasio Cortez Update!:
David Blackmon @GDBlackmon Yyyyyeeaaaahhhhh, no.: Vox: We should change the Constitution so Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can run for president https://hotair.com/archives/2018/12/12/vox-change-constitution-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-can-run-president/ …

Vox: We should change the constitution so Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can run for president "...she’s an honest-to-goodness political superstar"
hotair.com See David Blackmon's other Tweets Twitter Ads info and privacy Yes, friends, Matthew Yglesias, writing at leftist activist site Vox.com, wants you to agree to change the constitution so that the femme fatal from Queens – who he calls “the biggest star in the Democratic Party” – could run for the presidency in 2020, when she will be all of 30 years of age.
Oh, but it gets better.
Yglesias doesn’t want to just lower the age for running for the presidency, he want to eliminate all restrictions on the right to run. In Matty’s brave new world, any “registered voter” – which would include all those illegal immigrant who are now legally allowed to register to vote in California – would be able to run for the highest office in the land.
Think about the possibilities here: If Emanuel Macron, with his 18% approval rating, wants to transfer his society-destroying magic from France to the New World, he could just fly to San Francisco, register to vote, and instantly become a leading contender for the Democrat Party nomination, given that Democrats have been trying their best to destroy U.S. society since they elected Woodrow Wilson. Teresa May, fresh off of barely surviving her vote of no confidence after royally screwing up the whole Brexit thing, could do the same thing. Hassan Rouhani, the Iranian President to whom Obama and his fellow Democrats were happy to give $150 billion a few years ago, same deal.
Matty Yglesias, who is in fact a leading voice of American progressivism, says, hell, why not?
Your Democrat Party in action.
Breathtaking.
That is all.

Obama is proof that “anybody” can become pResident.
Obama is proof that “anybody” can become pResident.
I don’t know.
I know a lot of them are cynics, but some of them sound really convinced.
Tom Steyer, Tim Cook, and Bill Gates come to mind.
To me, it’s even more bothersome that a single American votes for a communist-ocrat. The population and electorate just gets more and more ignorant every passing year. Not one of them asks “just how does government pay for all this free stuff”?
Not one of them asks “just how does government pay for all this free stuff”?
Well it is free, right? Ask the obamaphone chick in Cleveland.
And the 2nd Amendment is next. Take a 2nd look at the text and no one, zip, has the right to infringe. This includes your next door neighbor and NGOs.
