The Biden administration has hired a former Interior Department communications director with a colorful past of attacking police and supporting the anti-Israel movement.
“After more than three years at Interior working for Secretary Deb Haaland, Cherry started last week as an associate communications director at the White House,” Politico reported this week.

NEEDS TO BE REPEATED
AND AGAIN
Make no mistake. This isn’t because the person is “most qualified” for the job.
This is because it is a joyful thumb in the eyes of normal people. A deliberate, pointed, malicious, and arrogant jab into that organ that helps you determine reality.
This is to show you who is in power. And it is done with cruel, sadistic, and caustic amusement.
When anyone of us feels the slightest twinge of doubt about the morality or grace of pillorying any Leftist for their actions or extending them forbearance when experiencing their personal destructions, keep this truth in mind: They hate you and want you isolated and alone, if not dead.
Appointments like this are no accident, advancement due to merit, or done for the “good of the country”
. They are done to make sure you know who has the power, how they can use it, and that you are powerless to do anything about it.
I bet they like "pizza" ...
That is what napalm was made for.

Eeww.
Great response! I’ve always known that coddling and promoting this filth was intentional on the Democrats part. And this is ALL ON Obama. These are his people, this is his method, destruction of the Republic is his goal.
I pinged people on this thread who might have read my post to explain, this isn't just a knee jerk reaction to what is going in our government today, though I admit, to use that old Soviet phrase which Leftists understand quite well but evades many Conservatives, I DO feel like a "reactionary" with respect to our government. I admit it, and how can I not, for the last few years?
My observations of the nature of the Left are not rooted in this reactionary mechanism. They are rooted in historical context as explained below.
All these things we see going on in our government, can be put in context by this quote from Joseph McCarthy's ghostwritten book America's Retreat From Victory: The Story of George Catlett Marshall when describing his inexplicable (to many) treatment of Chiang Kai Shek and the Nationalist Chinese during the struggle for dominion over the Mao Tse Tung led Communist Chinese in the years 1946-1949:
"If Marshall were merely stupid, the laws of probability would have dictated that at least some of his decisions would have served this country’s interest. Even if Marshall had been innocent of guilty intention, how could he have been trusted to guide the defense of this country further? We have declined so precipitously in relation to the Soviet Union in the last six years, how much swifter may be our fall into disaster with Marshall’s policies continuing to guide us? (McCarthy, Senator Joseph R.. America’s Retreat From Victory: The Story Of George Catlett Marshall (p. 144). Golden Springs Publishing. Kindle Edition
McCarthy took his lumps for attacking, rightly or wrongly General Marshall, who was considered a hero by many for his leadership of the Army during the war, but in reading the ghostwritten work under McCarthy's name, it is hard to defend Marshall in the discussion of "Who lost China?
Especially when one looks at Marshall's quote when he delivered the coup de grace to Chiang Kai-shek and his Nationalist government, leaving them at the mercy of the Communists being supplied by The Soviet Union:
GENERAL GEORGE MARSHALL: As Chief-of-Staff I armed 39 anti-Communist divisions. Now with a stroke of a pen I disarm them.
(NOTE: As an aside, the phrase "Stroke of a pen" is redolent of Leftist actions. I just asked ChatGPT for "Famous quotes using the phrase "stroke of a pen" and it returned this data, should anyone be wondering why that quote has a familiar ring to it. To. be fair, there were a few from people who might not be considered totally Leftist, but I did leave Richard Nixon in there, because he might just as well have applied this to the EPA):
"Today, with the stroke of a pen, we mark the end of a long struggle." - Barack Obama Anyway, if I take that statement McCarthy made about Marshall, and substitute a few words, I defy anyone to tell me that this does not fit the Left in general, and the last several Democrat administrations dating back to 1993 like a glove:
"If Marshall THE LEFT were merely stupid, the laws of probability would have dictated that at least some of his THEIR decisions would have served this country’s interest. Even if Marshall THE LEFT had been innocent of guilty intention, how could he THEY have been trusted to guide the defense of this country further? We have declined so precipitously in relation to the Soviet Union OUR ENEMIES in the last six years SIX DECADES, how much swifter may be our fall into disaster with Marshall's THE LEFT'S policies continuing to guide us?
I defy ANYONE to tell me this does not apply. For clarification, when I say "The Left" I am including not only Democrats, but Republicans as well who assist them both knowingly and unknowingly.
Just for clarification.
Amen...
I have always felt somewhat alone in my inability to formulate my thoughts into words and alwayts admired those that do.
Thank you.
I recently realized the radio air is silent of talk radio.
FR is probably our last hope for the nominal revolutionary.

Me too- you aint alone-
[[”If Marshall THE LEFT were merely stupid, the laws of probability would have dictated that at least some of his THEIR decisions would have served this country’s interest.]]
I’ve posted Eastwood’s statement before- you have probably seen it, but if not- he said something akin to:
“If you could reason with democrats, there wouldn’t be any democrats”
[[I just asked ChatGPT for “Famous quotes using the phrase “stroke of a pen”]]
Remember oblama who said he “Had a pen and a phone, and knew how to use them”
The left love to claim that their pen is a mighty instrument and is the ultimate authority- but when it comes to honoring the pens of our founders who established the constitution- meh- they don’t recognize that authority
Freddy Mercury’s risen from the grave! Another freak for Biden’ administration. But can he sing?
By their fruits thou shalt know them.
Excellent rlmorel, and I would like to point out two items about Nixon that still put him in a “leftist” box. One, he opened up trading with China, even though they were communists at that point. He actually created China’s economy. Secondly, he took the US off the gold standard, which meant that the dollar had practically nothing backing up its value. I’m one of those that still detests tricky Dick and the enhancement of the DS to cover up illegalities in the name of “national security”.
Agreed.
Bravo!

I understand we may disagree on Nixon-I don’t put him in a “Leftist box” for several reasons, though I suspect you and I will fully agree that the creation of the EPA and Price Controls were two things that otherwise would wholly put him in that box.
I am inclined to give Nixon a pass on his policy with China. I understand why people don’t, but my view is (having read his rationale) that he was opening a door with Communist China to drive a wedge between the ChiComs and the Soviets.
We forget that Reagan’s approach to the Soviets was radically different (his view that the Soviets should be defeated, rather than “lived with” with things like “detente”) than what had been practiced by the Free World since 1945.
I recall how the Left (and the Right, too) had the vapors because Reagan called them “The Evil Empire” and advocated facing them down and destroying their support system rather than living with them.
So, in my view, Nixon could not have foreseen what we have today with Communist China, which the Left (with help from many on the Right) handed our entire industrial base to them, lock, stock, and barrel. I forgive him that. Heck, I sure didn’t see that coming. And he had Kissinger advising him, someone I distrusted from the start, and as the years went on, distrusted even less, so that today, I view him fully as a globalist, and as a Conservative, that isn’t a great thing to view people as.
Also, I will always be grateful to Richard Nixon for two things in particular: his role in the conviction of Alger Hiss for perjury, and his bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong, and the mining of the Haiphong Harbor in 1972. We should have done that in 1966. He was the one who finally brought our POW’s home, and I was at Andrews AFB to greet a planeload of them in 1973 when they arrived after being released, so I do view him differently.
And, in the end, Richard Nixon did love his country.
I never, ever saw him as a grifter like the Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens.
If he made mistakes (and he did) he did it because he was the first President to deal with Leftists who were unashamedly coming out of the closet to fight dirty. (I don’t count LBJ, because they hadn’t yet begun to fully surface by 1968, IMO)
So I am less harsh on Nixon than many might be. But we can disagree on these points, I think.
