Guttersnipes At The Gates

You’ve got to admire Israel. When people who want to destroy their country try to enter their borders, they turn them back. Rather than do the same, the political left in this country celebrate those people. No matter where they are in the world, progressives have one objective: destroy.

People don’t volunteer to have something they love to be “fundamentally transformed,” and fundamental transformation of the country and the world is exactly what progressives ultimately want. And they’re willing to do anything to get there.

When it was announced that Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar were going to travel to Israel I remember thinking it was odd. I not only wasn’t sure why Israel would let in people who despise their citizens and want to wipe it off the map, but why would half the Gang of Four want to go there in the first place? Of course, the answer was simple – they want propaganda.

A normal person doesn’t despise Canada, hate Canadians, and plan a weekend in Toronto. Tlaib and Omar wanted to stir problems in Israel and stand on Israeli soil while doing it. It took until the last minute, likely due to the fact that they’re both sitting Members of Congress, but Israel finally rescinded their permission to enter.

Since Tlaib and Omar have the arrogance that comes with knowing the media will protect them and the shamelessness that accompanies living in a bubble where disagreement is rare and ignored, their next step was easy. The racist duo immediately played the victims

Statements were released that read like they were at the ready, in the hope they could be victims. Omar came out against U.S. aid because Israel wouldn’t allow her in to inspire more terrorists. Tlaib whined about not being able to visit her elderly grandmother.

Israel relented to Tlaib on humanitarian grounds. She could visit her grandmother after promising not to attack the country while in it.

That should have been the end of it, but neither of them wanted go there to see anything for themselves or visit family, they wanted propaganda; they wanted the accolades from the American left that would accompany advocating for the destruction of Israel from within its borders. So Tlaib, after saying she only wanted to pick figs with her grandmother for likely that last time, changed her mind and rejected Israel’s magnanimity.

These two wanted specific things from this trip, and if they weren’t going to be able to get it, no “last chance to visit grandma” in the world was going to make it worth their while.

Journalists were, predictably, outraged. They’d just spent 24 hours Israel relented to Tlaib on humanitarian grounds. She could visit her grandmother after promising not to attack the country while in it.

Journalists were, predictably, outraged. They’d just spent 24 hours lying about Ken Cuccinelli, the acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, for enforcing existing law that requires people applying for permanent residency status not have a history of bilking taxpayers through the bloated welfare state. The idea of not wanting to import people who won’t contribute to society was, naturally, called racist.

Tlaib, after being granted a humanitarian pass to visit her grandmother, rejected it saying, “When I won, it gave the Palestinian people hope that someone will finally speak the truth about the inhumane conditions. I can't allow the State of Israel to take away that light by humiliating me & use my love for my sity (grandmother) to bow down to their oppressive & racist policies.” She never wanted to see her grandmother, she wanted to use her. That she able to do just that without having to see her was more than good enough. (And probably lucky for her grandma – could you imagine being used as a prop by your own grandchild?)

These people aren’t honest, but they are serious. When your opponent is willing to do absolutely anything to advance their agenda, you have to take them seriously. Never underestimate anyone who is unbound by reality or standards of decency. That’s not only Tlaib and Omar, but every Democrat and nearly the entire media.

If Democrats truly had a strong case to make to the American people for what they want to do they wouldn’t have to lie about Republicans, they’d just make it. That they aren’t tells you all you need to know.

Israel has every right to keep out guttersnipes who seek their destruction. Unfortunately, in the United States they’re inside the gates and Democrats elect them to Congress. Or they give them jobs as journalists.

Surely the author of the piece knew that the grandmother was all in for being used as a prop.

LOL

Well, perhaps the author is just a tad bit more gracious than I would be given the situation.

I’d have no problem whatsoever pointing out that grandmamma was probably drooling at the thought of being used as a prop for the cause.

I am reminded that Obama visited his grandmother in Hawaii. She had been blabbing about his birth and all. He was seen walking in her neighborhood, just thinking. Then, she died.

They only want that when they know that they’ll be the ones in charge. They’ll be the ones eating surf & turf while the masses scrounge for whatever is thrown to them out the goodness of the progressives heart. Proof of this was when the President said the would start dropping all the illegal asylum seekers in Sanctuary Cities. All those mayors and governor’s raised hell about it.

When fat head ted went to speak to the Russians while president reagen was in office, making plans against the president and America he should have been destroyed and cast out of congress, that would have ended it. These scumbags who are suppose to represent America talk behind its back and make friends with our enemies while a sitting president is in negotiations with its advisories or its allies in foreign policy is not acceptable

It is instead believed, that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya as his grandmother apparently stated. Then, after he was born, his mother returned with him to Hawaii where his birth was REGISTERED on or about August 8th,

she died November 2nd 2008.. when was the election that year?????

either way, being born here or not, by hook and or crook he was elected president. and There are still voters who loved him

then again, some people eat their own poop or hair or toilet paper or dish soap. and thats not a disqualifier for voting in the U.S.

While I was not in the meetings, I did drive Pelosi and some of her pals around the Green Zone, one morning while she did the same exact thing.

If I’m not mistaken her and her cohorts just met w/ Trudeau and his pals, and were up to some shenanigans about the USMCA.

Barak was an only child whose parents died early leaving him even more alone. Can’t tell me he was well adjusted. We all have talents and they can be used for no good.

Damn, that Tlaib is one butt-ugly, nasty broad. Even a smile doesn’t help that mug.

Put her on a Milk Carton as “Missing” and it’ll say “STAY Missing”.

Looks like about ten miles of bad road.

I Couldn’t even put a flag over her head and “Do It For My Country”....

Even a Triple Bag wouldn’t be enough...

Pure as the driven snow?? Yeah, driven over about 100 times, maybe...

Seen better heads on a mug of root beer.

That Broad’s about as sharp as a bowling ball.

That kisser reminds me of the southbound end of a northbound mule.

Her ass, her face? What’s the difference?

She’s coyote ugly. You wake up next that and it’s lying on you, you’d naw your arm/leg/etc. off to escape.

There aren’t beer goggles strong enough to make that look good.

Sure she’s fugly, though she was great in “The King of Comedy” when she serenaded “Come Rain or Come Shine” to a captive Jerry Lewis.

“If Sandra Bernhardt had a son...”

Jerry should have gotten best supporting actor for that role and playing it straight. Was kinda annoyed when Rupert claimed to be from Clifton when he was plainly living in Union City. ;)

Arguably Jerry’s best role. It’s a shame he didn’t do more dramatic work, he did have the talent.

The milk carton joke sounds like a set up for a Rodney Dangerfield type joke.....

“I just can’t get no respect....I get lost in the desert for a month, I found out my picture is on the mild carton with the words...’Please...stay missing!’
