New York Times: Covid and the ‘Very Liberal’

Lord Buckbeak

There’s a schism among Democrats. By David Leonhardt – March 18, 2022 – The New York Times My cmnt: This is an interesting column from the Times. The author notes that ideology often drives opinions over facts. I have edited this piece for clarity, accuracy and content. The left-right divide over Covid-19 — with blue America taking the virus more seriously than red America — has never been the pandemic’s only political divide. Each partisan tribe has also had its internal disagreements. Republicans have long been split over vaccination, with many eagerly getting shots while many others refuse. Democrats have their own … Continue reading New York Times: Covid and the ‘Very Liberal’

Cuckold Will Smith Takes His Humiliation Out on Chris Rock

Lord Buckbeak

By JOHN NOLTE – 28 Mar 2022 – for Breitbart.news Here’s what I think happened between Will Smith and Chris Rock during last night’s Oscars… First off, comedian Chris Rock is not getting enough credit for his poise and class. How many people would have reacted the way he did to such an awful and ugly thing? In front of the whole wide world, Rock’s sucker-punched/slapped by a man-baby who easily has 40 pounds on him. Rock’s reaction? He doesn’t give up even an inch of ground. Then he makes a joke: “Will Smith just slapped the shit out of me!” … Continue reading Cuckold Will Smith Takes His Humiliation Out on Chris Rock

Another ‘Walls Are Closing in on Trump’ Story Has Collapsed

By Matt Vespa – @mvespa1 | Posted: Mar 28, 2022 2:25 PM – for Townhall.com It’s over. Done. How many of these stories do we have to endure from the liberal media before they understand that Donald Trump is not going to be indicted on anything. The “walls are closing in” stories are too many, but each one has the same ending: Trump wins. The walls were closing in when creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti was using Stormy Daniels to wage lawfare on Trump.

BY: PAMELA DANZIGER – DECEMBER 08, 2021 – for The Federalist If you only watched corporate media’s coverage of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Organization abortion case before the Supreme Court last week, you’d think very few people still believed in Christianity and its values, prominent among which is the belief that life is divinely created and precious.

By Historian Alan Royal August 6, 2015 admin Did You Know? 37 My cmnt: This mostly is for old people like yours truly. I grew up admiring Spencer Tracy in the movies and, his not exactly doppelgänger, but close enough in style and acting abilities kissing cousin James Whitmore. As a kid I often confused the two. My cmnt: I remember seeing Tracy in “Boys Town” (not when it came out in 1938 but much later on TV in the 60s) and I just thought he was Father Flanagan. And my mom took me with her to see “Guess who’s coming to dinner” … Continue reading SPENCER TRACY – A nightmare of a man.

The Mask Cultists Are All Alone Now

Lord Buckbeak

By Matt Vespa – Posted: Mar 01, 2022 – for Townhall.com My cmnt: Look, this is so simple. If masks worked against Covid (and they don’t) then by simple logic if I’m wearing a mask then it shouldn’t matter whether or not you are. If I have on an actual, functioning HazMat suit with respirator then I don’t give a damn whether or not you have one on – beyond the fact that IF we have a real deadly viral situation then YOU are going to die and I’m not. Masks are quite plainly just political theater for the Left. … Continue reading The Mask Cultists Are All Alone Now

“We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business,” OneAmerica CEO Scott Davison says. By The Center Square Staff – By Margaret Menge – Jan 01, 2022 – for Just the News My cmnt: The vaccines are almost certainly responsible for this terrifying increase in deaths among those of working age. They already had Covid-19 and most likely (like the vast majority of people in decent health 55 and younger) were asymptomatic (virus had no affect on them) and were forced or coerced by Fraud Fauci and the CDC and the democrat … Continue reading Insurance CEO says deaths up 40% among working age people, and it’s not just COVID

‘Because You’d Be in Jail!’ The Real Reason Democrats Are Pushing Trump Impeachment?

Lord Buckbeak

by Robert Bridge, Strategic Culture: – Dec 30, 2019 My cmnt: Note that this column is from Dec 2019 and that now, more than two years later, Durham has finally released some of his findings. Hillary did indeed spy on President Trump. Click either link above and/or simply type in “Durham” on this website and read what comes up. The following article tries to untangle this democrat mess. In the time-honored tradition of Machiavellian statecraft, all of the charges being leveled against Donald Trump to remove him from office – namely, ‘abuse of power’ and ‘obstruction of congress’ –are essentially the … Continue reading ‘Because You’d Be in Jail!’ The Real Reason Democrats Are Pushing Trump Impeachment?

The Real Reason Hillary Isn’t in Jail

Lord Buckbeak

The American Liberty Report Hillary Clinton isn’t in jail. She isn’t under investigation or review. In fact, no charges were ever brought against her. These statements probably represent the most holistic failure of justice in the history of America. This woman has proven herself a criminal time and again, and there is still a strong segment of the population that praises her. While we’ve known the real reason she remains free, we’ve been left scratching our heads about how she actually got away with it. Well, some new evidence helps shed a little light on that situation. WikiLeaks is at … Continue reading The Real Reason Hillary Isn’t in Jail

The Collapsing Covid Narrative is Being Replaced with Putin and Ukraine

Lord Buckbeak

By Vasko Kohlmayer – Feb 26, 2022 – for The American Thinker My cmnt: This short column is well worth the read. The democrat-led Covid-19 response was the greatest crime against humanity of the 21st century, especially the naysaying and restricting of readily available remedials followed by the hurried development of a dangerous vaccine pushed upon an unwary people. Game-changing news has emerged out of Iceland. As of this week, Iceland is the first country in the world to completely drop ALL Covid measures. There will be no lockdowns or social restrictions. There will be no mandatory Covid testing and if … Continue reading The Collapsing Covid Narrative is Being Replaced with Putin and Ukraine

Oh how history repeats itself – Joe Biden political cartoons from 2009

Lord Buckbeak

I pulled these cartoons from my file. They show Joe Biden already a gaffe-producing idiot, Barack Obama a disaster of a president, the taxpayer bailout of democrat-induced bank failures and malfeasance, Nancy Pelosi evil, Algore global warming lies, and the Chinese coronavirus (H1N1) swine flu trying to be made into a pandemic by the Left.

Kamala Harris Gives Another Train Wreck Answer, This Time on Russia By Katie Pavlich – Feb 22, 2022 – for Townhall.com A reporter asked Harris what a Putin invasion would actually mean for Americans. “Can you explain to Americans what exactly they will face” if Putin invades Ukraine? Kamala Harris responded with a word salad. “When America stands for her principles and all of the things we hold dear, um, it requires sometimes for us to put ourselves out there in a way that, maybe, we will incur some costs,” Harris said.
