Deadlocked democrats, Biden's Roman Holiday and the week that was
Yesterday Joe Biden gave us a little speech on the BBB deal. Some people thought that there may have been a deal. They were mistaken. The far left of the democratic party once again has defied Nancy Pelosi (now known as "nervous Nancy"). Late last night "The grand madam of vote whipping" (Nancy Pelosi) was whipped by the squad! Funny how 8 or 9 people can do so much damage, but we know how that works. Right now there are nine solid ‘no’ votes in the House." In any event the Capitol building saw an exodus of House members as Joe Biden left for Rome to talk with the Pope about ...."Climate change!"
President Biden met with Pope Francis one-on-one for around 90 minutes Friday at the Vatican Friday, a key part of his trip to Italy for the G20, to discuss climate change, COVID-19 and caring for the poor amid Catholic scrutiny of the president's pro-abortion rights policies.
Sean Hannity put it this way: "Today he just jets off to Europe, leaving behind a torrent of self-inflicted catastrophes. Look at the economy – is an unmitigated disaster , slowing down to its lowest quarterly growth since the height of the pandemic. The border is an absolute nightmare. Also, another massive caravan is on the way. "
Then we had another shocker with this:
"The U.S. Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering payments that could amount to close to $1 million a family, though the final numbers could shift, the people familiar with the matter said. Most of the families that crossed the border illegally from Mexico to seek asylum in the U.S. included one parent and one child, the people said. Many families would likely get smaller payouts, depending on their circumstances, the people said.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which represents families in one of the lawsuits, has identified about 5,500 children separated at the border over the course of the Trump administration, citing figures provided to it by the government. The number of families eligible under the potential settlement is expected to be smaller, the people said, as government officials aren’t sure how many will come forward. Around 940 claims have so far been filed by the families, the people said."

So we have the ACLU & progressives filing this insane lawsuit and on the other end we have the Biden administration & progressives willing to give them whatever they want. (Lessons learned from the Teacher's Union)
Then came another sobering number from the Commerce Department: Gross domestic product grew at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 2.0% from July to September, marking the weakest quarter of growth since the recovery began in mid-2020.
We also had a surprise out of Virginia: Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) is trailing Republican gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin by 8 points among likely voters in the latest Fox News poll, though the two remain in dead heat among registered voters.
The poll released Thursday found that 53 percent of likely voters are backing Youngkin, with 45 percent in favor of McAuliffe. The margin of error among likely voters is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/579055-fox-poll-shows-youngkin-leading-mcauliffe-by-8-points-among-likely
Credit goes to Youngkin for being disciplined enough to keep the issue of public education first and foremost after McAuliffe said that parents shouldn't have any say over what their kids are taught. We later discovered that McAulife was looking to hire the evil Marc Elias to challenge the election results if they were close. That after both candidates agreed not to challenge the results. Btw, if it is close it will be a major defeat for democrats in what has become a blue state - one that Biden won by 10 points.
Then late yesterday a DC district court judge issued a temporary restraining order that prevents both civilian and active-duty military plaintiffs from being terminated after they sued the Biden administration over religious exemptions to COVID-19 vaccines. The judge also ruled that "active duty military plaintiffs, whose religious exception requests have been denied, will not be disciplined or separated during the pendency of their appeals."
What have we learned?
We learned that the squad meant it when they said they would blow up the entire deal if they didn't get what they wanted. I'm all for blowing up that deal. It couldn't happen to a more deserving political party. We learned that Kyle Rittenhouse has a strong self-defense claim under Wisconsin law. We learned that former NY governor Cuomo might just be one of the few democrat politicians to actually be held accountable for something. Last but not least, is the fact that giving a $1-million gift per couple for breaking the law will surely trigger more migrants and a bigger crisis at our southern border.
Here we still have those who seek to defy the Coc to insult & harass. It's not working. We still see seeds demeaning most Americans on the front page as well as misleading seeds on "the science." Then there are those who pretend to call for "unity" as Joe Biden once did.
Political Cartoon of the week:
Honorable mention:
The Republican members of the House and Senate who asked the questions that Merrick Garland couldn't answer.

Pennsylvanians Are Not Amused by Rachel Levine’s Latest Promotion (msn.com)
How many white racists do you think there are in Virginia? I seeded an article the other day that revealed that racist textbooks that spewed lie after lie about slavery were in use in Virginia schools well into the late 70's. That would mean there are hundreds of thousands of Virginians that either were in those classrooms themselves, or are the children of those people. One of such people would be the current Republican candidate for governor. You know, the one running around yelling "critical race theory" "critical race theory".
Sooo..... stuff said by a totally different person in 1981 is supposedly some sort of indictment on a current candidate?
You know the left calls themselves progressive but in reality are still stuck in the past. Give them 5 - 10 years and they'll start to realize the train wreck Biden is.
BTW The Lincoln Project just got caught planting fake 'Unite the Right' members at a Youngkin rally
How many white racists do you think there are in Virginia?
One I know of - the current governor who wore blackface and got the backing of democrats.
You think that calling people "racists" will save the left now?
Virginia has an appalling history regarding race. You'd think an enlightened people would applaud classroom initiatives to remedy that appalling history and take it in stride.
Instead, the GOP candidate is deliberately lying about critical race theory.

"As always, when it comes to the news. Everything is racist. Food. Jokes. Vaccines. Pigeons. That weird feeling you get when you insert your finger in your belly button and when it turns out that’s not your belly button. Or anyone else’s.
The only thing that's not racist, are actual racists. First, docents. Do you know what a docent is? I had no idea - until now. A docent- I guess - is racist. For it's the term that describes volunteer guides at museums. They're usually older white ladies who walk around telling you not to touch the nude sculptures. Like how was I supposed to know? I mean, why go to the market if you can't squeeze the fruit?
Some of these docents are actual donors to the museum - and - I bet they're typical liberals. Just cuz you don't see many Dale Earnhardt shirts at the museum of natural history. But over at the Art Institute of Chicago, more than a hundred docents were fired, cuz they were not sufficiently diverse. Although in Chicago , diversity means getting the right mix of people who’ve been shot and people who haven’t.
Yea, volunteers were fired because they were too white! That's gotta hurt. Being fired as a volunteer. You can't even collect unemployment. In your face, white privilege! But I’m all for it.
I can't tell you how many times I thought, "I need a museum tour guide who looks just like me." I really feel marginalized. Where are they? It’s a struggle.
So here's another example in which bozos adopt the rhetoric of inclusion to exclude. I mean- these are experienced people who donated time and money to educate the public. They'll be hard to replace. And why? Be honest. Who does all the volunteering? I’ll give you a hint. You won't find them at a Jay-Z concert or at a NASCAR race.
No, it's mostly upper middle class white women named Melinda and Dorothy who have time on their hands since Harry and Leo passed away years ago. Picture Janet Yellen with a woman’s haircut. Men only volunteer when there's a gun to their head, probably cuz they held a gun to someone’s head. Meaning when it's community service. And I tell, you picking up trash along a highway is no way to spend five Saturdays. I never should've murdered that weatherman. - but if you tell me to bring an umbrella and it doesn’t rain, there’s a price to be paid.
So diversity quotas end up harming those it’s supposed to help. It's adopted the rhetoric of equity in exchange for competence. It’s about making yourself feel better instead of making things better. Like scratching a rash instead of applying the ointment. (God I hope it’s just a rash.)
As the Wall Street Journal writes "civic institutions have always relied on the volunteer work of women with enough public spirit to donate their time and... Money...and we’ll miss them when they’re gone."
So who’s gunna replace them? Kat? Her idea of volunteer work is working at a homeless shelter to find a better weed connection. Anyway, docents are racist. They're probably white supremacists. Just like Larry Elder and Condoleezza Rice.
According to the woke, conservative Blacks are actually white supremacists. Yeah, black is the new white! Which has to confuse the hell out of the KKK. I guess we'll find out when Joe Biden gets invited to their next funeral.
But David Duke must be pissed. He spent his life trying to be the face of white racism, and Condoleezza comes along to steal his thunder. So why are Blacks stealing the jobs of White bigots? Or - could this progress.
I mean, if our White racists are so hard to find that we must recruit colorblind Black leaders, how awesome is that. We killed racism by confusing it to death.
I wonder what the angry Black male thinks
Video skit of Gutfeld! Staff giving Tyrus a "White guy starter kit"
So while the woke media stokes division, Black rapper Bryson Gray boots Adele out of the number one spot on iTunes with his banned anti-Biden song. And you hear nothing about it. Cuz the left can’t deal with it. It's a real cultural shift. And they don’t like it one bit.
But look, a Black guy beats a White woman with a song about a terrible White old president. When will he be called a white supremacist for that? Because over at the fake news sports site, Deadspin, they called Kyrie Irving and Dave Chappell black pawns on a white chessboard.
And why? Because they're Black, and share similar thoughts as Whites. I know: individual thought transcending identity groups. It’s crazy. But Deadspin believes people of one color must think the same. Which I think, is racist.
Fact is identity politics is now segregating not just people - but ideas, skills, and talents. Which always ends in bad ideas, lack of skill, and zero talent. That’s the new slogan for CNN,
If you go to a museum, ignore a White docent. Even if they're good at it. If you're Condoleezza Rice, you best hold an opinion other Blacks have, especially famous Black intellectuals like Joy Behar . Of course, thinking for yourself, like Irving, isn't really thinking for yourself -- if some d-bag at Deadspin thinks you sound white.
The same goes for Chappelle. Sure when he was ripping on whites that was fine, but once he made fun of trans, he's now white himself.
I tell you - you need a scorecard to keep up with who's racist and who isn't. Maybe it's best to say everything is racist. Finally, something we can all take part in!"
This article is adapted from Greg Gutfeld's opening monologue on the October 28, 2021 edition of "Gutfeld!"
A Rutgers University professor said, "We got to take these motherf---kers out," when discussing White people in September.
Brittney Cooper, an associate professor in the Rutgers University Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, made the comment during an event titled, " Unpacking the Attacks on Critical Race Theory," hosted by The Root.
"Like, the thing I want to say to you is we got to take these motherf---kers out. But, like, we can't say that, right? We can't say, like, I don't believe in a project of violence. I truly don't," Cooper said.
John's believes to save the country, you must destroy it.
Why does it bother you if Virginia wants to educate schoolchildren about racism in the state? Do you have a guilty conscience?
If not, why would it bother you? If you're not guilty it doesnt concern you.
I don't want to answer for Sean, but people on the left keep telling us CRT isn't being taught. Which is it?
Do you have a guilty conscience?
Mine is clear. How about yours?
If not, why would it bother you?
A few reasons;
1) you can't fight racism with racism.
2) leftist ideologues shall not decide what our children are taught.
If you're not guilty it doesnt concern you.
Seeing as Sean and I are decent people, it is our absolute duty to prevent racism from being taught to American school children.
Virginia is now a blue state. Biden won it by ten points. So what is going on there?
Could it be that our beloved suburban moms have finally had their brains beat in?
To be fair, rejection of Trump in no way reflects a permanent conversion to the Democratic Party.
I think everyone sees the playbook. It has been defeated in Virginia and McAuliffe made it easy.
Atlas Plugged. As in many an ideological rant what is important is not the content within but that which is left out. On the 'upside' the resulting sigh and shrug move one to more stimulating Boulevards of Bastardised Dreams.
Let's not put our readers to sleep...It's still early.
I thought you were a fan of competition.
How easily they forget: FAIR TRADE AGREEMENTS!
Well you got the unpronounceable USMCA known up here as the pronounceable CAMUS which for all intents and purposes is just a window dressed NAFTA.
No way. Try again.
Okay ... Well you got the unpronounceable USMCA known up here as the pronounceable CAMUS which for all intents and purposes is just a window dressed NAFTA.

Vatican abruptly cancels live broadcast of Biden meeting Pope Francis http:// hill.cm/ifj1vDs
Joe, today is Friday!
Looks like they are discussing sole.
It looks like they want to blow one another.
They aren't discussing anything. Biden's vacant look is still from the Pope's first question. The Pope is trying to figure out if Biden is even capable of answering anything.
So nothing has changed ...
I'm sure that after 5 minutes with Biden, the Pope was on maximum stregth Excedrin.
The Pope lasted 30 minutes with Trump, 1 hour and 15 minutes with Biden ... seems like the Pope developed a headache with Donnie in a far shorter time.
It was much easier with Trump. The Pope looked into his eyes and could see there was somebody home.
That's impossible with Biden, but then again, you obviously don't want to talk about Biden.
[Deleted]
Come on Vic, the photo you posted added zilch, other than attempting a cheap shot, to what you wanted to talk about. The Pope has met with many a leader in the same room, sitting at the same desk with the same items on the desk. Other than with a few posters, it fell flat.
That aside, being a visual guy, I was intrigued by the inscription above the door: JOANNES-XXIII-PONT-MAX. Hopefully 'our readers' were also.
Come on Hallux, you introduced Trump. You can't defend Biden?
All I introduced was a photo that made a mockery of the one you posted and Trump was mentioned by others including within the seed long before I did. Sorry if his name embarsses you, discuss it with the author.
As to Biden, he does not need my defense.
Wrong on all counts as usual. Your photo didn't make a mockery of anything. Mentioning Trump is a deflection, an effort to change the subject. Anyone who is a progressive owns this disaster, only they don't view it as a disaster.
As for you, maybe you can get Canada to take Biden from us. That would be a bit of a culture shock, wouldn't it? - going from a child actor to a doddering goof.
Alas Canada must deal with the Pope's visit first, our Indigenous Folk have several outstanding issues to discuss with him. ... feel free to remind me about Biden at a later date.
As to a culture shock, Canada is like every other nation including the U.S., there's one with every generation.
Canada was just to the left of us, but we are being dragged there.
Cousin, your knowledge of Canada is woeful.
I know, it's not as far left as you'd like.
As a Libertarian Monarchist I am not as far left as you assume me to be.
I judge you by your commentary, not by what you call yourself.

They haven't been convicted of anything. This isn't China or is it?
Where is the speedy trial for this man?
I dunno, maybe his lawyers asked for an extension because Tucker was too busy with his mockumentary to show up as a character witness.
Most of the 2020 rioters never spent a night in jail, but as you say...you dunno.
