Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Bedlam) Shows Why You Should Never Vote Democrat

Posted on | March 27, 2020 | Comments Off on Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Bedlam) Shows Why You Should Never Vote Democrat

The 11th District of Michigan is a so-called “swing” district. For most of the past half-century, this district in the suburbs of Detroit has been represented in Congress by Republicans. Rep. Thad McCotter was the congressman there until 2012, and Republicans Kerry Bentivolio and Dave Trott later filled the seat, but after Trott announced his retirement in 2018, former Obama administration staffer Haley Stevens won a hotly contested five-way Democratic primary, then got 51.8% of the vote in the November general election. It should be unnecessary to say that Stevens’ seat is a prime target for Republicans seeking to recapture control of the House of Representatives this fall. And the argument against re-electing Stevens became obvious Friday morning when she freaked out and started shrieking like a deranged lunatic on the floor of the House:

Wearing pink latex gloves, U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Rochester Hills, was ruled out of order during a Friday speech on the House floor about the $2.2 trillion relief package to help workers and businesses in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
Stevens’ speech started out normally. Then, as she ran out of her allotted time of one minute, she began shouting her remarks, requested 30 more seconds and mentioned the gloves she was wearing.
Stevens yelled she was wearing the gloves “not for personal attention.” The individual running the Democratic-controlled House proceedings repeatedly struck his gavel.
“I rise before you adorning these latex gloves not for personal attention, not for personal attention but to encourage you to take this disease seriously,” Stevens said. “I rise for every American who is scared right now.”
“The gentle lady is out of order,” said Rep. Anthony Brown, D-Maryland, who was presiding over the chamber for the debate.
Eventually, Stevens was granted 30 more seconds to speak at the request of House Majority Leader U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland. Stevens continued but some of what she said was indecipherable because of the commotion on the floor.She appeared to say medical professionals would be “pushed” and would see “darkness.”
“Our country loves you to our doctors and our nurses,” Stevens continued
The freshman lawmaker added that she wore the gloves “to tell every American not to be afraid.”
Stevens was eventually ruled out of order. Her microphone was cut, and Brown’s gavel rang out repeatedly.
“The gentle lady from Michigan is no longer recognized,” Brown said.

If you live in the 11th District of Michigan, please vote Republican, so that Haley Stevens can get the psychiatric treatment she needs. People who vote Democrat have turned Congress into a lunatic asylum.

Guess Who Was on TV Last Night?

Posted on | March 27, 2020 | Comments Off on Guess Who Was on TV Last Night?

OK, I think you might recognize this guy. The reason why I didn’t promote my appearance Thursday night on The Ingraham Angle in advance was because the way cable news “hits” are scheduled, you never know if you’re actually going to be on until it happens. Like, this had been planned for a day or so — calls and emails back and forth with the producers — but appearances sometimes get “bumped,” and I didn’t want to hype it up if, in fact, it wasn’t going to happen. Then by the time I was (reasonably) sure I’d be doing it, I was trying to get ready and, while I was waiting to go on, they pushed back the segment by about two minutes. This was because they were running a little behind schedule, so you’ll see that my spot got cut kind of short. But anyway . . .

As a TV personality, I’m slightly more coherent than Joe Biden, I suppose, but I’m a writer, not a talker. Whatever — my kids and my wife were proud of me, and that’s what really counts. Alas, I didn’t get a chance to say The Five Most Important Words in the English Language:

HIT THE FREAKING TIP JAR!

UPDATE: Evidently, the YouTube clip I embedded has been deleted. Will try to find video of the clip.

Joe Biden’s Sadly Obvious Mental Decline

Posted on | March 26, 2020 | Comments Off on Joe Biden’s Sadly Obvious Mental Decline

Joe Biden is the presumed presidential nominee of the Democratic Party. He is also 77 years old and unable to speak coherently:

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden spent the past two days conducting blunder-filled TV interviews from his home — and a virtual press briefing Wednesday where he said he doesn’t want to debate Bernie Sanders anymore.
“Do you think there should be another debate in April, and would you participate?” Biden was asked during his remote press conference.
“My focus is just dealing with this crisis right now. I haven’t thought about any more debates,” Biden said. “I think we’ve had enough debates. I think we should get on with this.”
The briefing followed a media blitz on Tuesday during which the gaffe-prone former vice president lived up to his reputation.
“We have to take care of the cure. That will make the problem worse no matter what. No matter what,” Biden said on ABC’s “The View” when asked to respond to President Trump’s desire to restart the economy amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Biden went on to discuss “flattening the curve.”
“We know you have to — you’re tired of hearing the phrase, you got to flatten that curve where it’s going up like this, people getting it, and then it comes down. We got to flatten that curve and we got to make sure that once, in fact, we have this under control, it doesn’t come back,” he sputtered.
Speaking a few hours later with Jake Tapper on CNN, Biden was criticized for coughing into his hand just moments after telling the host that he had not been tested for coronavirus because he was feeling OK.

It is difficult to describe how badly Biden performed in these appearances, where he got nothing but softball questions, yet repeatedly failed to express himself without stumbling. The elderly Democrat also kept coughing on camera, suggesting his health may be precarious.

(Hat-tip: Ace of Spades.)

There has been talk that Democrats may draft New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to substitute for the ailing, addled, elderly Biden. Can you imagine the reaction of the Bernie Bros — who have already warned they would sit out the election in November if Biden is nominated — if Democrats pull a Cuomo switcheroo at the convention?

New Yorkers Are Infecting America

Posted on | March 25, 2020 | 1 Comment

Yesterday, we took note of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis imposing a two-week quarantine on visitors arriving from New York-area airports. New York City is the epicenter of the Chinese Bat Soup Flu pandemic, with more than 17,000 reported cases — including more than 3,000 added in just the past 24 hours. Two states, New York and New Jersey, account for 65% of reported cases. This is a risk to the rest of America:

The White House’s coronavirus response coordinator said Tuesday that anyone who has recently left New York should self-quarantine for 14 days in an effort to slow the spread of the virus in the US.
“To everyone who has left New York over the last few days, because of the rate of the number of cases, you may have been exposed before you left New York,” Dr. Deborah Birx said at a White House press briefing, adding that “everybody who was in New York should be self-quarantining for the next 14 days to ensure that the virus doesn’t spread to others.”
“No matter where they have gone, whether it’s Florida or North Carolina or out to the far reaches of Long Island,” Birx said.

So, this disease that began in Communist China because people eat bats there has now moved to New York and is spreading across America. We’re destroying our economy — spending trillions of dollars for an emergency rescue bill — because of bat-eaters and New Yorkers.

‘Chinese Bat Soup Flu’ Update

Posted on | March 24, 2020 | 1 Comment

Hat-tip to Kurt Schlicter for giving this pandemic a memorable name. It’s going to get worse — perhaps a whole lot worse — before it gets better, but in the meantime, we can figure out what went wrong, and caution about what’s still going wrong. The first and most important thing President Trump needs to do now is to halt domestic flight departures from New York City-area airports:

New Yorkers who flee to Florida during the coronavirus outbreak will have to self quarantine for two weeks when they arrive — or risk facing criminal charges, the Sunshine State’s governor said Monday.
Gov. Ron DeSantis said he was issuing the executive order that would apply to all travelers from New York City, which, as of Monday, has recorded 12,305 cases of the virus. By comparison, Florida so far has 1,100 cases.
The order also applies to areas surrounding the Big Apple, but DeSantis didn’t specify the exact perimeter.
The Florida governor said about 100 flights from New York City and the surrounding area arrive to his state daily. He said he believes at least one person aboard each flight is infected with the illness.
DeSantis at an earlier Monday press conference said, “We are getting huge amounts of people flying in. We are looking at how to address those flights.”
“In New York (City), when they did the stay-at-home order, what did people do? A lot of people fled the city and they are going to stay with their parents or fly (out),” DeSantis said.

With a large elderly population, Florida is uniquely vulnerable, and New York is now the U.S. epicenter of the Chinese Bat Soup Flu pandemic. New York and New Jersey combined have 23,719 reported cases of the virus, which is more than half (55.6%) of all U.S. cases (42,663). It is irresponsible to allow residents of such a “red zone” to hop on a plane and fly anywhere in the country, taking the virus with them. If you have 100 people on a plane leaving LaGuardia, JFK or Newark, chances are at least one of those passengers will be infected. Do you want them flying to your state? Ground those planes, Mr. President.

To get an idea of the way these pandemics can spread, here’s a story about a bunch of people who got sick after attending a March 5 party in Connecticut, and here’s a story about how one nursing home in Washington State became a “red zone.” While I have always been an optimist about America’s ability to fight this disease — and remember, I was potentially exposed to the virus when I covered CPAC — we cannot afford the kind of stupid errors that create these “red zones.” You don’t want the job of explaining to your kids that Grandma died because you didn’t practice proper hygiene and “social distancing.”

If we can just maintain quarantine conditions another week or two, there is every reason to believe that we will be past the the worst of it:

Those of us trying to predict what direction the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic will take in the United States have been paying close attention to reports from Italy. And until Sunday, the outlook there kept going from bad to worse.
For nearly two weeks after the Italian government imposed a nationwide lockdown on March 9, the daily number of coronavirus deaths mounted rapidly. On Friday, it was reported that 627 Italians died from the disease, as the country’s cumulative death toll passed 4,000. This was shocking, but then on Saturday, Italy reported that 793 more people had died from the virus.
If, like me, you have been laser-focused on this situation for the past week, you mentally braced yourself for Italy to report an even larger number on Sunday, but then breathed a sigh of relief when it was reported that only 651 Italians died of coronavirus. This was small consolation, as Italy — a nation with a population about 60 million — has already suffered more than 6,000 dead in this pandemic, with a total of more than 60,000 coronavirus cases and thousands of new infections still being reported every day. Yet Sunday’s numbers from Italy were a much-needed cause for hope, and this was followed by a further decrease in Monday’s reported deaths — down to 602, a 24-percent decline from Saturday’s peak. . . .
