Ridiculous: NAACP gives Chairman’s Award to Indian-American Kamala Harris

From The Hollywood Reporter, Feb. 17, 2025:

Kamala Harris will receive the NAACP’s prestigious Chairman’s Award during the 2025 NAACP Image Awards.

The award recognizes people who have excelled in public service and leveraged their platforms to drive meaningful change.

It has previously been given to such figures as Samuel L. Jackson, Tyler Perry, Danny Glover, Ruby Dee, Amanda Gorman, Rev. James Lawson, then-Senator Barack Obama, former Surgeon General Regina Benjamin and members of Congress such as Bennie G. Thompson, Maxine Waters and the late John Lewis.

The NAACP is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (colored people = blacks), an American civil rights organization formed in 1909 as an interracial endeavor to advance justice for African Americans. (Source: Wikipedia)

Kamala Harris is not African American — her parents are immigrants from India. Nor has Harris done anything to “advance justice for African Americans”.

Democrats appear to endorse forced abortion

Demorats never met an abortion they didn’t like. Apparently that also includes forced abortions.

A mother in Louisiana obtained abortion pills online for her then 17-year-old daughter from a Dr. Margaret Carpenter in New York. According to NOLA, the pregnant teen was going to have the baby but the mother of the teen conspired with the good doctor to obtain the abortion pill. The mother then coerced the pregnant teen to take the pill. The teen girl accepted the ultimatum despite initially pleading to keep the baby.

The mother obtained the abortion pill by completing a questionnaire and Dr. Carpenter fulfilled the prescription without a direct consultation.

From Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry:

“A minor in Louisiana got pregnant. She was excited to have a baby and was planning a gender reveal party. Her mom conspired with a NY doctor to get a chemical abortion pill in the mail and coerced her to take it. She ended up in the hospital. There is only one right answer in this situation: the doctor must face extradition to Louisiana where justice will be served. We owe this to the minor and the innocent life lost.”

District Attorney for Iberville, Tony Clayton, believes there is clear evidence of a crime as a West Baton Rouge Parish grand jury indicted Dr. Carpenter and the girl’s mother for criminal abortion by means of abortion-inducing drugs, a new law passed last year by Shreveport Republican state Sen. Thomas Pressly.

Louisiana prosecutors and Gov. Jeff Landry want to extradite Dr. Carpenter, yet Gov. Kathy Hochul has declined to comply with the extradition order.  From NY Post:

“Carpenter and her company, Nightingale Medical, PC, also face the same charge — but have evaded arrest thanks to Hochul’s refusal to comply with Lousiana’s extradition orders submitted Thursday.

“I want to make sure everyone in the state knows: Keep your hands off this doctor,” Hochul said upon receiving the paperwork.

“I’m respecting the laws of New York. Am I supposed to make those subservient to laws of another state?” 

New York Attorney General Letitia James also piled on, calling the indictment a “cowardly attempt out of Louisiana to weaponize the law against out-of-state providers,” adding that the indictment is “unjust and un-American.”

You know what else is unjust? Forcing a girl to go against her will and kill her baby. It appears these demorats are now supporting forced abortions. They are in good company, I guess.

What a sword to die on. Literally.

In last days of Biden presidency, EPA gave $20B to NGOs with no oversight

This is nothing less than outrageous.

During the last days of the Biden administration, in the name of “climate justice,” the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave $20 BILLION of taxpayers’ hard-earned money to eight “entities” that would then distribute to NGOs and others at the entities’ discretion without transparency.

This scheme is the first of its kind in EPA history, and was purposely designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight.

The EPA’s new administrator, Lee Zeldin, said: “Never in EPA history has anything like this ever happened. And there was a decision to park $20 billion of tax dollars at a ‘green’ bank just outside of government to lessen the amount of oversight that government has over the funds, to give it to eight different entities – not like $20 billion on 40,000 different entities; we’re talking about eight entities – and then those entities are distributing the funds. You’re getting further and further removed with less government accountability.”

Fortunately, the new team lat the EPA has found the $20 billion and will terminate the financial agreement with the bank and return the funds to the government. (Sources: Daily Wire; NewsMax)

The EPA administrator culcable for the last-minute $20 BILLION giveaway is Michael S, Regan, a Biden appointee.

They just don’t get it: Leftists Hollyweird types have an opinion

Celebrities really believe their opinions matter, especially when it comes to politics.

Last year they tried to convince us to vote for Kamala Harris. Oprah hosted a livestream event for Harris, for which Oprah’s production company was paid $1 million dollars.

Taylor Swift endorsed Harris through an Instagram post. Beyonce endorsed Harris by appearing with her at a rally in Houston. Other celebrities who vocally endorsed Harris: Angela Bassett, Alyssa Milano, Alanis Morisette, Dick Van Dyke, Katy Perry, Will Ferrell, Viola Davis, Katie Couric, Richard Gere, Harrison Ford, Lady Gaga, Smokey Robinson, Reese Witherspoon, Madonna, Don Cheadle, Robert Downey, Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts, LeBron James, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, and plenty more.

Sorry, but the vast majority of Americans didn’t care one bit what these Hollyweird types had to say about the cackling Harris. Rasmussen Reports found that “56% of Likely U.S. Voters say endorsements by celebrities made no difference at all in terms of their vote in the presidential election, while another 19% say such endorsements didn’t make much difference.”

Now that President Trump has started (with a bang) his second term, Trump Derangement Syndrome has left the president living rent free in their heads. And they still believe their opinions matter.

Actor Seth Rogan has a brilliant theory as to why Trump was elected a second term. From Breitbart:

“President Donald Trump’s landslide 2024 election win is a result of “f*cking hippies doing acid and f*cking on their lawns.”

“People get sick of seeing f*cking hippies doing acid and f*cking on their lawns, and they’re like, ‘Let’s f*cking clean up these streets a little bit.’”

The Superbad star went on to imply that the political pendulum is constantly swinging, adding, “And then people get sick of seeing f*cking dorks cleaning up the streets and they go back the other way.”

Astounding analysis, Seth. No wonder your greatest achievement is reading scripts.

Filmmaker, Todd Haynes, thinks we are in a crisis right now because of President Trump. From Variety:

“When asked his thoughts on Trump’s second term at the jury press conference, the “May December” director said bluntly: “We’re in a state of particular crisis right now in the United States, but also globally.”

He continued, “Everyone I know in the United States and friends abroad are witnessing this barrage of actions in the first three weeks of the Trump administration with tremendous concern, shock. I think that’s been part of the strategy, to create a sense of destabilization and shock among the people. So how we proceed toward coalescing different forms of resistance are still in the works and are still being figured out among Democrats. I have no doubt that there will be many people who did in fact vote for this president who will be quickly disillusioned by promises he made about economic stability in the U.S.

Want to place a bet on that last statement, Todd?

Based on President Trump’s list of executive orders in his first three weeks in office, I’d say he is off and running with a great start!

But what do I know? I’m not a rich celebrity.

What I do know is that the leftists Hollyweird types better buckle up. For them, it’s going to be a long four years.

Demorat USDA IG Phyllis Fong had to be dragged out of office

Democrats are insufferable.

As President of the United States, Donald Trump is head of the executive branch of government. US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is a bureaucracy within the executive branch, which means Trump is the boss of USDA and its employees, including the inspector general.

The role of the modern-day inspector general dates to post-Watergate Washington, when Congress installed offices inside agencies as an independent check against mismanagement and abuse of power. Though inspectors general are presidential appointees, some serve presidents of both parties. All are expected to be nonpartisan. (AP)

On January 24, 2025, President Trump fired about 17 independent inspectors general at various federal government agencies, effective immediately.

But the IG of USDA, one Phyllis Fong, simply refused to comply, and had to be escorted out of her office by security guards.

USDA IG Phyllis Fong

Townhall reports, Jan. 29, 2025:

The inspector general of the U.S. Department of Agriculture was escorted out of her office by security on Wednesday after she refused to leave following her dismissal by the Trump administration last week.

Phyllis Fong, one of the 17 watchdogs fired last week, told colleagues of her plan to stay, believing the Trump administration did not follow the correct protocols, Reuters reports.

The Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time,” she wrote in an email to colleagues over the weekend.

Sen. Chuck Grassley has also said the administration did not give the proper 30-day notice of removal to Congress.

But the White House defended the move. “It is the belief of this White House and the White House counsel’s office that the president was within his executive authority” to do so, [White House Press Secretary Karoline] Leavitt said Tuesday.

Trump, she added, “is the executive of the executive branch, and therefore he has the power to fire anyone within the executive branch that he wishes to.”

Leavitt then referenced a 2020 Supreme Court decision, Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which ruled that the CFPB’s agency structure violates the separation of powers under the U.S. Constitution. “I would advise you to look at that case, and that’s the legality that this White House was resting on,” Leavitt said.

Asked by the reporter whether the Trump administration believed its order would survive a lawsuit or court challenge from the former inspectors general, Leavitt responded affirmatively. “We will win in court,” she said decisively, before moving on. (Fox News)

In 2002, Phyllis Fong was nominated by then-President George W. Bush to serve as the IG of USDA. I cannot find Fong’s party affiliation but from her behavior, we have good reason to suspect her of being a Democrat. This is how the White House defended firing her and the other inspectors general (TimesNow):

These rogue, partisan bureaucrats… have been relieved of their duties in order to make room for qualified individuals who will uphold the rule of law and protect Democracy.”

President Trump has a good reason to fire Fong — she wasn’t doing her Inspector General job. Look what Elon Musk’s DOGE found:

Newsom’s solution to prevent homes from burning? Ban plants/shrubs within five feet of homes

You have to wonder how long California and the Los Angeles area will put up with the most feckless and incompetent leadership that they have ever elected.

After the California wildfires that devastated so many people, Gov. Newsom signed an executive order enacting new wildfire prevention rules.  Homeowners are now required to clear flammable materials (including mulch, bushes and plants) except for mature trees within five feet of their homes.

According to Newsweek, state officials and researchers claim that embers are responsible for 90 percent of structures destroyed by wildfire.

Clearing plants five feet around houses will stop this ferocious fire?

Given that the Santa Ana winds can blow up to 100 miles per hour, you have to wonder how not planting bushes within five feet from one’s house will actually save a structure.

I mean, I don’t believe that lawns and flower beds are what fueled the catastrophic fires to begin with. You know what did? A combination of ineptitude among many, many leaders.

First, there’s the Los Angeles Mayor, Karen Bass. Despite the National Weather Service warning of the potential for extreme fire conditions, the good mayor decided to take a taxpayer-funded trip to Ghana to attend the inauguration of their president. Once she learned of the disaster unfolding in her city, she headed back to the USA. Stone-cold silent she was as areas of Los Angeles went up in flames.

Another thing that fueled the fires? Not. Having. Water.

Santa Ynez reservoir: EMPTY at the time of fires.

Instead of being full of water, as a reservoir should be in a fire-prone area, the reservoir sat empty, leaving water supplies and hydrants dry after hours of intense firefighting. The reservoir sat empty for a year after a tear was discovered in its rubber-like protective cover. But no worries, leaders at the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power are now hiring an independent engineer to assess whether the empty reservoir contributed to the failure of its water system during the Palisades fire.

Mayor Bass nominated LADWP CEO Janisse Quiñones with an annual salary of $750,000. Janisse knew about the empty reservoir and broken hydrants months before the fires. Quiñones past employer is also linked to fire scandals. She was previously a top executive at electricity company PG&E, which went bankrupt over liability for several massive wildfires in California.

Another failure of leadership at LADWP to provide water to known fire zone areas during a wildfire event.

Failure at so many levels and to date, no accountability for any of their actions. But you, homeowner, better not plant a rosebush for grandma by her front door! No pretty flowerbeds along your front window sills!

No doubt Newsom’s executive order will ensure that the wind can only blow burning embers four and a half feet or less. You democrats never learn…

Insanity: Democrat state representative gets sterilized for fear of Trump’s contraceptives policy

Trump Derangement Syndrome on steroids.

MI state representative Laurie Pohutsky (D)

From American Liberty, Feb. 6, 2025:

Michigan State Representative  (D-Livonia) has revealed that she underwent voluntary sterilization, citing concerns over access to reproductive health care in the United States under President Donald Trump‘s policies.

“Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America,” Pohutsky stated.

“I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate,” she added.

Pohutsky articulated her decision in the most dramatic terms possible. “If you know people who are questioning how serious this is, I’m going to repeat myself: A sitting government official opted for voluntary sterilization because she was uncertain she would be able to access contraception in the future.”

Well, sterilizing herself does improve our gene pool!
