The Left’s panicky Tantrump: With each passing day, the Left’s Tasmanian Devil hysteria about Donald Trump’s still-thriving candidacy grows. It’s now a full-blown tantrum. So far, the Democrats, Marxists, communists, and Department of Justice have conjured and exhumed every conceivable legal but laughable machination to kill Trump’s chances of not only winning in November, but of surviving the campaign at all.

Guest Column: PA House Democrats Throw Women Under the Bus

By Lowman S. Henry

The Left has become adept at using various issues as a wedge to gain political advantage with women voters. They have been particularly effective in using so-called “reproductive rights,” mischaracterizing the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision as having taken away those supposed rights even though the court merely returned the issue to the states where it properly belongs.

But, as the saying goes, they are “all hat, and no cowboy” when it comes to protecting actual women. Here in Penn’s Woods Pennsylvania House Democrats have been particularly brazen in throwing women under the bus if acting on their behalf in any way threatens their tenuous hold on legislative power.

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has been a chamber virtually evenly divided since the beginning of the current session. Capitalizing on the most egregious Gerrymandered set of district lines in the Commonwealth’s history, Democrats seized a one-seat majority in the 2022 elections.

Plagued by one death and multiple resignations the chamber has periodically fallen into a 101-101 tie. This has prompted Democrats to use various tactics including the snookering of several Republicans to vote for a supposed “non-partisan” temporary House Speaker to hold the chamber in recess for months using the flimsy excuse of fixing a leak in the chamber ceiling.

The latest example of Democrats’ prioritizing political power over protecting women occurred last week when Speaker Joanna McClinton allowed State Rep. Kevin Boyle to vote even though he was on the lamb hiding out from law enforcement seeking to execute a warrant for his arrest for allegedly violating a protection from abuse order. McClinton and House Democrats showed no concern for the female victim who filed the protection from abuse order, feeding instead their lust for legislative power. 

A variety of excuses were forthcoming. Rep. Boyle, who was recently involved in a drunken rant at a local bar, was said by defenders to be suffering from mental health issues. If indeed that is the case, then Mr. Boyle should be given the appropriate medical care. 

But there are larger issues here. First and foremost: is his flight from the law in any way imperiling the safety of the woman who filed the protection from abuse order? Second, should a fugitive from justice be permitted to cast a vote – or have someone else vote for him – in Pennsylvania’s legislative body? 

Realizing the optics of the situation House Democrats decided to propose new rules for expelling a member. Getting back to our analogy theme that is the equivalent of closing the barn door after the horse has escaped. Time will tell if any action will follow.

Sadly, this is not the first time House Democrats have placed power over people. Last Spring, their majority still teetering by one vote, House Democrats obfuscated as then-Rep. Mike Zabel of Delaware County stood accused of sexual harassment by a labor union lobbyist. It took pressure from female Republican House members to force Zabel’s resignation.

Likewise, Gov. Josh Shapiro has placed political expediency over the protection of women. One of his top aides, former Secretary of Legislative Affairs Mike Vereb, was forced to resign in the wake of sexual harassment allegations lodged by a female staff member. Vereb remained on the job for months while a taxpayer-funded monetary settlement of $295,000 was negotiated and paid to the victim. The issue only gained traction when state Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward and other female legislators forced it into the public spotlight. As did his colleagues in the state House, Shapiro placed power and perception over the protection of women.

There has been much ado made over the fact House Speaker Joanna McClinton is the first woman to occupy that leadership role. While that is indeed an accomplishment you would think she would use that position to further the protection of women. Instead, she has prioritized the protection of her political majority. It is a choice that will tarnish what should otherwise be a shining legacy.

But instead of honoring his uncle's ultimate sacrifice for the country truthfully and reverently -- he made up a kitschy tale about his uncle getting shot down over New Guinea island and getting eaten by cannibals.

Biden, on the other hand, got rich the same way a lot of politicians get rich.  He used his powerful position in government and took his son around the world on government-paid transportation, collecting kickbacks from a number of adversaries, including Russia, Ukraine, and China.  The only thing the Biden family had to sell was access to Joe.

Trump has decided that pushing federal abortion elimination is a losing proposition in 2024. Like it or not, Trump is right about the politics of the issue. A majority opposes ending abortion. He’s right to assert that the U.S. Supreme Court striking down Roe v. Wade and returning abortion to the states is where this historic issue needs to be. But let’s stress, for the time being.

With everyone having fun exposing NPR’s leftist CEO, it’s also time to expose NPR: X/Twitter is overflowing with tweets exposing the lockstep leftism that defines NPR’s new CEO, Katherine Maher. She’s in the spotlight because Uri Berliner, an NPR employee, wrote about what’s long been obvious, which is that taxpayer-funded NPR functions as a branch of the Democrat Party. However, Berliner just focused on a few political reportorial crimes that NPR committed (e.g., its anti-Trump bias, hiding the Hunter Biden story, ignoring COVID’s lab origins, etc.). What Berliner didn’t touch upon was how radicalized everything at NPR is.

The new NPR CEO is the living embodiment of the Democrat party

The new NPR CEO is the living embodiment of the Democrat party: Last week, a moderate(ish) Democrat broke ranks with NPR, writing an exposé to protest that NPR was more ideologically extreme than even he could tolerate. Uri Berliner described an outlet that receives significant funding from federal and state taxpayers but is completely dominated by hardcore, progressive Democrats. He ascribed many of the problems to former CEO John Lansing, who was all-in on DEI and other woke policies, and expressed hope that the new CEO, Katherine Maher, a tech leader, would bring positive change. That’s unlikely. Maher, 40, has embraced every extreme idea the Democrats have promulgated in the last 20 years.

The purpose was to gain access to Joe Biden for favorable policy decisions and actions, i.e., going soft on China and Russia, releasing funds to the Iranian Mullahs whose proxies attack Israel, selective prosecution of political enemies, and allowing a two-tiered justice system.

As nations posture and alliances shift, suggesting a prelude to what could escalate into World War III, the United States seems more engrossed in the hush money case involving Trump. It's as though our political narrative has been penned by a playwright specializing in the absurd.

Government and the WHO Quietly Shake Hands If you were expected to agree to an employment contract, would you not want to read it before signing? When you go to a restaurant, do you look at the menu before ordering your food or just eat whatever you happen to be given by the waiter? Or when buying a house or a car, would you not first want to view it and find out the details before committing to the purchase? In these situations, it is highly unlikely that you would simply trust that everything will turn out fine, with no essential information to inform your decision-making. Yet this is exactly what it appears the Government would like you to do with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and its opaque International Health Regulations Amendments (IHRs).

The Ministry of BS Will See You Now: I wonder if there is ever a moment while DHS Secretary Mayorkas is claiming that America’s borders are entirely secure and blaming “climate change” for the influx of tens of millions of illegal aliens into the United States when he thinks, “Wow, I am really full of BS.  I mean, it is simply amazing how much BS I shovel down the American people’s throats every single day.”

Obama’s Continuing War on Suburbia, Courtesy of Joe Biden

Obama’s Continuing War on Suburbia, Courtesy of Joe Biden: Like the prophets of old, Stanley Kurtz warned of the evil mongers in America, but sadly, no one seemed to heed his dire warning. 

In his 2012 book titled "Spreading the Wealth: How Obama is Robbing the Suburbs to Pay for the Cities," Kurtz painstakingly detailed Obama’s and, now by extension, Biden’s nefarious plans to destroy the suburbs.

The ever-stealthy Obama has been assiduously working on the goal of abolishing America’s suburbs ever since his days as a community activist.

The Compelling Case for Trump

The Compelling Case for Trump: We are told by our leftist betters that Trump supporters are a cult. A group that has no core beliefs, a group of Simple Simons that simply can’t understand nuance the way we should. The smarmy Bill Maher (and his ilk) loves to let everyone know how dumb and cultish the MAGA people are. Some -- actually, way too many -- on the Right have tried using that same insult. Most NeverTrumpers use that attack. We supposedly think of him as an idol who can do no wrong, a person who counts on tricking us rubes with promises he won’t deliver.

If you believe that sociopaths are in charge, you’re right

If you believe that sociopaths are in charge, you’re right: Anyone with a brain knows that there was epic cheating behind Biden’s “win” in 2020, ranging from official cheating (e.g., mail-in ballots, drop boxes, and ballot harvesting) to unofficial cheating (e.g., delayed vote counts, faked ballots, and illegal registrations). Pollster Scott Rasmussen has discovered something very disturbing about all that cheating: While ordinary Americans want fair elections, the “elite”—that is, the rich, powerful, and connected—don’t. They want only to win.

Donald Trump’s Pragmatic, Successful ‘America First’ Doctrine

Donald Trump’s Pragmatic, Successful ‘America First’ Doctrine: Donald Trump’s “America First” doctrine encountered stormy weather in the community of American globalists who characterize it as a mix of nationalism, unilateralism, and xenophobia. The substantive disagreements could not be more explicit: globalists see American commitments as implicitly limitless and irreversible, and Trump, driven by effectiveness, not ideology, believes the existing commitments are not eternal and are limited by resources. Therefore, we must define our national interests to shape our commitments, not allow existing commitments to define our interests.

The report, though obviously subjective, is illustrative.

So, which country does the report say is the happiest in the world? Finland. Again. (Followed by Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, and Israel.) What makes Finland so relatively giddy? First off, it is relatively homogenous. Also, any country with reindeer, saunas, and Long Drink is going to be at least reasonably content.

The CDC Intervened in Voting Protocols

The CDC Intervened in Voting Protocols In the spring of 2020, a deliberately cultivated disease fear swept across the population. Everyone was urged to do everything possible to avoid the invisible enemy. 

It is an implausible request. 

The terrorist-era slogan “If you see something, say something” was bad enough. This was “You can’t see something, so just do whatever.”

If you cannot see it, you cannot know where it is, in which case people filled the epistemic void with fantasies of their own invention.

It wasn’t stopping disease spread that drove the dramatic upheaval in the American system of voting that has caused such widespread distrust. It was the drive for a result different from one that swept the country four years earlier."

Lowman Henry: Photo Voter ID Will Restore Election Integrity

 Recent polling suggests the upcoming General Election re-match between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will be a closely fought contest especially here in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. The Real Clear Politics average of publically released polls gives Donald Trump a scant one-half of one percent lead in the battle for the state’s electoral votes.

The closeness of the race places a bright spotlight on the Commonwealth’s electoral process. Questions continue to linger over the integrity of the 2020 election. There may or may not have been outright fraud, but there is no doubt rulings by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and rule changes by the Pennsylvania Department of State at a minimum were a factor, if not the deciding factor in Joe Biden’s “win.”

Exacerbating voter skepticism over the integrity of the 2020 vote were the many rule changes enacted supposedly in reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, chief among them the advent of no-excuse mail-in voting. In perhaps the biggest political miscalculation in the history of Penn’s Woods Republicans agreed to allow mail-in balloting in exchange for eliminating the straight party-line vote.

There appears to be scant evidence that the elimination of the straight party-line vote has been politically beneficial to the GOP, but there is ample evidence that the party has suffered widespread defeats due to mail-in balloting.

Many in the Republican Party have, with some degree of justification, questioned the integrity of mail-in balloting. That depressed the use of mail-in ballots by Republicans while Democrats embraced the method to build often insurmountable leads in local and statewide races. Conservative groups are now organizing to compete more effectively for mail-in votes, but the continued use of such balloting perpetuates a lack of voter trust in the integrity of the election process.

And so, with confidence lacking in changes made four years ago along comes Democratic Pennsylvania House Speaker Joanna McClinton with proposals to sew even more seeds of distrust. She recently proposed to allow same-day voter registration at polling places. Unregistered voters could simply show up on Election Day, register in the party of their choice and be allowed to cast a vote. No up-front verification of their eligibility, no check to see if they are already registered elsewhere, just show up, register and vote. The opportunity for fraud such a change would unleash is breathtaking.

A more realistic McClinton proposal would be to establish a two-week period of time in advance of Election Day when voters could go to a secure polling place, such as the county voter registration office, and cast an early ballot. Eliminating unsecure mail-in voting and replacing it with early voting at secure polling locations would be a reasonable trade-off. That would require logic and compromise. Given the hyper-partisan bent of the House Democratic majority that is unlikely to happen.

There is one change that could be made that would make our elections significantly more secure, and go a long way toward allaying voter qualms about the process: that would be the passage of a state constitutional amendment requiring photo voter ID.

Such a proposed state constitutional amendment was approved during the last session of the state legislature. But, to be placed on the ballot for a voter referendum proposed constitutional amendments must pass two consecutive sessions of the General Assembly. In the current session, the state Senate did pass the amendment, but it has languished in a state House committee.

House Republican leaders this past week began a procedural process aimed at getting the photo voter ID bill out of committee and brought to the House floor for a vote. Almost all Republicans and some Democrats support the bill. Polls show photo voter ID has broad bi-partisan voter support.

Democrat leadership, however, continues to peddle the false narrative that a photo voter ID requirement would somehow make it more difficult for people to vote. Given the fact you need a photo ID to buy cough syrup at your local drug store, it would only disadvantage those whose intent it is to commit voter fraud.

In the wake of the 2020 election, the state of Georgia passed significant reforms aimed at restoring the integrity of its electoral system — including a photo voter ID requirement. The result was the voter participation rate actually increased as more people had confidence that their vote mattered.

Photo voter ID is critical to restoring public confidence in Pennsylvania’s electoral system. It is time for We the People to be given the opportunity to make the decision via referendum at the ballot box. To deny us that opportunity is to put Democracy at risk.

We Failed the Freedom Test

We Failed the Freedom Test The government never cedes power willingly.

Neither should we.

If the Covid-19 debacle taught us one thing it is that, as Justice Neil Gorsuch acknowledged, “Rule by indefinite emergency edict risks leaving all of us with a shell of a democracy and civil liberties just as hollow.”

Unfortunately, we still haven’t learned.

We’re still allowing ourselves to be fully distracted by circus politics and a constant barrage of bad news screaming for attention.

Four years after the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, which gave world governments (including our own) a convenient excuse for expanding their powers, abusing their authority, and further oppressing their constituents, there’s something being concocted in the dens of power.

The danger of martial law persists.
