Let The Hatred Of Nancy Mace Begin

 

A victim of rape when she was 16, Nancy Mace doesn't believe she should have to share the women's bathroom with biological males. It's the same issue that has come up in public schools, elementary through high school, and in our universities. And the answers are always the same. 

Most Republicans/conservatives believe the science that men cannot become women by having surgeries and getting hormone injections. It's impossible to change DNA and chromosomes. That's just fact.

Honest leftists understand that but most believe that ignoring the mental illness in support of the feelings of those men take precedence over the science. Even some women believe that. Some believe biological males should not only be allowed to share bathrooms with biological females, but they should be allowed to play girl's/women's sports and share girl's/women's locker rooms.

Biological girls and women are not only being cheated out of sports titles when they're forced to compete against men, but are also being injured... some seriously.

It's still unbelievable to me that so-called feminists mostly ignore this issue, instead focusing their "equality" efforts on the right to abort babies. Abortion seems to be the number one issue of feminists these days. Funny thing is - abortion is not an equal rights with men thing. Men can't get pregnant. And "pregnant trans men" is not actually a thing. Only women have uteri. Again... scientific fact

God bless and protect Nancy Mace. She's already being threatened by men who want to use the ladies room. Women have a right to feel safe in the most private of public places. 

Does Matt Gaetz Have a Chance?


The House Ethics Committee, an oxymoron in and of itself, is deciding whether or not to release its report on an investigation of Matt Gaetz over allegations out of Florida. Those allegations were investigated by Merrick Garland's FBI and the Florida Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Both agencies closed their investigations without charges being filed, saying there was insufficient evidence to show a crime was committed and that the witnesses were inconsistent and not credible.

The Ethics Committee has investigated Gaetz and, now that he's been nominated by Trump for Attorney General, is debating the report's release even after Gaetz resigned from his Congressional seat. I am curious about what's in the report. If they reached the same conclusion as the FBI and the Florida BCI, then it's no problem. If they say they found concrete evidence of criminal activity either they're better investigators than the two investigative agencies, which I find difficult to believe, or, because they are not law enforcement officials, their burden of proof is far less than what is required by law enforcement. 

One thing is certain... there are Republicans in the House who hate Matt Gaetz because of the Kevin Mccarthy incident. Would they issue a report that might not be 100% accurate to get rid of him? I have no doubt whatsoever that the FBI did a very thorough investigation in an effort to hang an outspoken Republican out to dry. In the court of public opinion Matt Gaetz may be guilty as sin. But the Fifth Amendment "Due Process Clause" protects people from conviction without due process. "The government must follow proper procedures and not violate any Constitutional rights when seeking a conviction or that conviction will not stand."

Should the Committe report be released before Gaetz's confirmation hearing? I'll let you decide. For me the report is irrelevant. He was cleared by two top investigative agencies which, in my book, holds more weight than the House Ethics Committee. Do I trust the FBI in general? Not at all. But as I said - I believe their investigation against a Republican was in depth and complete. The Garland FBI would leave no stone unturned in their effort to hurt the Republicans. 

I have my doubts about Gaetz getting confirmed. According to news reports, at least eight Republican Senators have said they will not vote to confirm him. J.D. Vance is meeting with Senators this morning to talk about it. Let's see what happens.

Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary? Absolutely.


Pete Hegseth has been criticized by the left for saying he believes women shouldn't be in active combat., meaning boots on the ground on the front lines.

What? How dare he think that??

Hegseth has also be deemed "not qualified" by the likes of John Bolton and the left.

NBC's Andrea Mitchell commented on Hegseth's comment one day, sharing her ignorance with the world. She asked, "What about women pilots in combat zones? Should they not be allowed to fight?"

If I could answer her I'd say, "Andrea... you really shouldn't comment on things you know nothing about. Pilots don't normally spend a lot of time in combat zones, and they don't put boots on the ground. They fly their missions and return to their support base. And that's not what Hegseth was talking about."

I honestly don't know any men who actually want women fighting on the front lines. It's not misogyny (a favorite word of the left) or cheauvinism. And it's not that men feel women aren't capable of holding their own.

I think part of it is protective instict. Men don't want to see their buddies get shot or blown up but even more - they don't want to see a woman get shot or blown up. That's just the way most men are designed.

There are obvious differences between most men and most women in size and strength, which can be very important depending on the situation. On November 13th, following a three-year review, the Army announced it has scrapped plans to use the same physical fitness test for all soldiers, choosing instead to have some reduced standards to allow women and older soldiers to pass. According to the study, 44% of women fail the test vs 7% of men.

When you lower standards so more people pass you lower fitness and readiness overall. That's just simple fact. 

The ban on women in combat roles was lifted in 2013. Hegseth hasn't indicated he has any plans to try getting that ban reinstated. But of course, that detail doesn't stop the left from screaming about it.

One thing many people don't understand is that diversity quotas... gender, ethnicity, sexual preference, skin color, etc., don't increase the efficiency or lethality of a fighting force. Fighting forces need to be cohesive and mission oriented, not separated by social differences. But in the last 15 years, social diversity has become a priority of the military. Hegseth wants to push things away from social issues and back toward readiness. And I agree with him.

I'm sure I'll get flak for my thoughts on this issue, even though I've offered no opinion on whether or not women should be in combat. They are already there. My opinion matters not. But it would be interesting to survey men who currently serve with women on the front lines to get their thoughts on the subject. That would show how the men feel about it and could possibly alleviate any concerns. Or it could prove to be problematic.

As for Hegseth's qualifications... he earned a Bachelor's Degree from Princeton and a Master's from Harvard. He served 21 years in the Minnesota National Guard, attaining the rank of Major. He was deployed both to Iraq and Afghanistan and has been awarded two bronze stars. (Donald Rumsfeld, who held the position of Defense Secretary twice, served three years in the Navy. Five former Defense Secretaries had no military experience whatsoever.)

He's qualified. Oh, wait... he hosts a show on Fox News! Oh, the humanity...!

Leftists Unleash "Operation Stupid"

 


One thing Donald Trump does well is bringing out the stupid in those who oppose him.

Why do I say that, you ask? Just watch some source of real news.

Leftist women across the country are shaving their heads in protest of his win. Yeah... really. To me that screams "I'm an idiot who believes shaving my head will somehow convince people they should have voted for Kamala Harris."

This ridiculous protest falls in line with the 4B movement, where women swear off men until Trump leaves office. Maybe I'm a little dense, but I'm having trouble understanding the long term goal of this one.

There are married women refusing to have sex with their husbands because of this movement. Do they think their marriage will survive their political idiocy? If my wife cut me off for four years because her candidate didn't win an election, I can tell you honestly there would be serious consequences. Perhaps those married women are all talk. Or not.

I've heard numerous accounts that the election result is tearing families apart. Trump haters are ending family relationships because someone in the family voted for Trump. That's simply idiotic. Trump will be in office for four years. Family is forever... or at least is supposed to be.

Trump has an ability to expose the blatant intolerance of the left. It's actually pretty funny, but it's sad as well. These are American "adults" we're talking about. But they're not acting like it.

McConnell Trying To Maintain Control of Senate


Mitch McConnell is trying to undermine Trump before he leaves the Senate. McConnell, who announced his upcoming retirement earlier this year, has called for an election of the new Republican Senate leader this Wednesday, before he leaves office. Normally it would be held after the new Senate is sworn in.

There's a reason McConnell is doing this. McConnell is anti-Trump and anti-MAGA. He has made it clear, particularly in the months leading up to the election. Now, before he leaves, he wants to stack the deck against Trump by getting one of his close allies, John Thune or RINO John Cornyn, elected to replace him. Both Thune and Cornyn have been on record voicing opposition to Trump.

Rick Scott of Florida is the third candidate. He's a Trump ally and McConnell does not want him to be the majority leader. 

Why would McConnell do that?, you might ask. It's because McConnell is an old school swamp dweller who does not want Trump to change things, even after he leaves. How could Thune or Cornyn interfere with Trump's agenda with a 53 to 47 majority? By refusing to bring items to the floor for a vote if said items further Trump's agenda, against the desires of the swamp.

John Cornyn is from Texas. He's a snake. In his last election, when he discovered he could lose, he began courting the Democrat vote, making promises to them just to help him win. He has opposed Trump many times, and there is no reason to suspect he won't continue to do so.

On Wednesday, all Republican Senators should refuse to vote in defiance of the man who is trying to control them after he leaves office. As far as I'm concerned, Mitch McConnell did one thing right in the last 15 years. He prevented Merrick Garland, evil personified, from becoming a Supreme Court Justice. He did it by refusing to bring the confirmation hearing to the floor. Thune and Cornyn were no doubt paying attention.

McConnell needs to be stopped. With a Republican President, a Republican Senate, and soon to be Reublican House, Republicans have a great opportunity to finally get positive things done. Call your Senator. Tell him/her to shut down McConnell's anti-Trump agenda.

The Left Is Losing Their Collective Mind


On November 5th, the American people elected Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. He won the popular vote and the Electoral College. This despite all of the hateful rhetoric of the left, the lawfare, and the left-wing media working in tandem to prevent it. 

During the past four years the left in toto did everything they could to prevent Trump from even running. They impeached him after he left office, hoping to legally bar him from running again. They held the January 6th hearings, hoping to get him on an insurrection charge. It is now coming to light that the committee willfully suppressed evidence that proved Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats refused extra security offered by then President Trump, making them largely responsible for the violence that occurred that day.

Then the Democrats went after him legally in what has been coined "lawfare." State Attorneys General and local prosecutors in New York and Georgia filed bogus, exaggerated charges against Trump, hoping to put him in jail so he couldn't campaign. The New York judges showed blatant bias against Trump and committed numerous violations of legal precedent to insure a conviction. (The Appellate Court in New York is now reviewing the New York cases and finding serious issues of impropriety committed by the prosecution.)

The Department of Justice illegally appointed a Special Prosecutor, without going through legal proceedings, to investigate and charge Trump with federal crimes on top of the state charges. That prosecutor, Jack Smith, has a long and notorious history of winning convictions in dubious ways, only to have those convictions overturned on appeal. For Smith and the Justice Department, the eventual outcome wasn't important. It was all about convicting Trump before the election.

Their efforts all failed. Trump won a decisive victory despite the efforts of the left. "Why?" my leftist friends ask. "How is it possible so many Americans voted for this evil man that we hate?"

The answer is multifaceted... but simple.

1) The leadership of the country under Biden/Harris over the last four years has largely failed. Inflation is still up. Gas prices stayed high until the election loomed. Grocery prices are still high. Mortgage rates are high. The overall cost of living under Biden/Harris is bad. (Kamala Harris blamed grocery prices on price gouging, but the American people didn't buy what she was selling,)

2) Biden ended one war badly, getting Americans killed needlessly, and without remorse. He then got us into two proxy wars, spending countless billions to fund Ukraine, and billions more funding both our ally, Israel, and Hamas, the terrorist organization that attacked Israel. And he has now begun funding Hezbollah in its fight against Israel.

3) After pretending Joe Biden was mentally competent, until they couldn't do it anymore, top Democrats in Washington forced him out of the Presidential race and installed Kamala Harris. Die hard Democrats didn't care that installing Harris completely disregarded our electoral process. But many Americans took notice.

The Democrats used the same old, tiring narrative against Trump. "He's not a good man. He's a convicted criminal. He's a rapist. He grabs women's genitals..." They did add "He's a fascist," and ""He's Adolph Hitler," to the narrative this time. The die hard Democrats and Trump haters, including Kamala Harris, ran with that narrative. But the majority of American voters saw it for what it was - a dishonest distraction from Kamala Harris' complete lack of substance.

I don't believe the country has been more divided politically than we are now, at least in my lifetime. The hatred and vitriol coming from the left, directed not only at Trump but at his voters, are unprecedented. I have friends, whom I love, who have called me vile names and even demanded I unfriend them because I voted for Trump. They don't care to understand my reasons. Their hatred is beyond reason, and speaks to mental illness. But if our friendship is going to end because of a political disagreement, they're going to have to end it, not me.

To them I would say, "I'm sorry you chose to end our friendship because of a political disagreement. But if that is your choice - perhaps our friendship wasn't as important as I believed it to be."

The Left Will Say Anything To Win



"The Atlantic Magazine," through Editor-in-Chief Jeffery Goldberg, has released a couple of articles about Donald Trump in the last week that are simple hit pieces, full of lies and disinformation.

The first article, about Trump disrespecting the family of a murdered soldier, quoted "unnamed sources on Trump's staff" who said he made racist comments about the soldier and refused to pay for her funeral after promising to do so. The family of the fallen soldier went public about the article saying it is untrue, that Trump showed their family the utmost respect, and that some of them have already voted for him.

The second article was about disgraced and disgruntled General John Kelly, who was fired from Trump's staff in 2019. Two weeks before the election, Kelly decided to tell the world about Trump’s "admiration of Adolph Hitler," about which he's supposedly known since he worked in the White House. It's just a coincidence that he brought it up now... (wink, wink.) No one knows if Kelly actually said it because "The Atlantic" has a history of lying about Trump. Of course, John Goldberg ran with it as fact and published it in what is just another effort to hurt Trump.

Goldberg published an article several weeks back about Trump calling dead soldiers "suckers and losers." The information originally came from a 2020 article by none other than John Goldberg in "The Atlantic," ahain citing "unknown White House sources." It stemmed from Trump being prevented by the Secret Service from participating in a D-Day memorial because weather prevented Marine One from flying safely to Normany. Goldberg's version of what happened was so bad even Snopes discredited it as unverfiable. But here it is again. And the left and Trump haters drink it in like cheap wine

One might ask, "If the articles by Goldberg are untrue, why would 'The Atlantic' publish them?" There is a simple answer. Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of billionaire Steve Jobs. She owns "The Atlantic," and is a close personal friend of Kamala Harris. Their friendship is well documented, and Jobs is one of Harris' biggest donors. She has a vested interest in seeing Harris beat Trump.

The left is fully aware that Kamala Harris' campaign is a train wreck about to happen. They will say and do anything to pull this election out. Kamala Harris recently called Trump a fascist on national television, and compared him to Hitler. John Goldberg's lies about Trump are easy to research and disprove. He consistently "quotes" bold claims about Trump, but they're always from "unnamed sources." Anyone can make up a negative statement about anyone if you never have to prove a valid source. And, of course, Goldberg is often quoted by the left-wing media... but never challenged.

The left and the Trump haters will believe anything negative about Trump, and believe nothing negative about Harris. Truth really doesn't matter to them. Neither does history. It's all about defeating their nemesis. Period.
