Under the Fedora: Who Needs Norms Edition, No Trials, No Attacks, No Choices in Michigan, In London No Jews, and Dostoevsky Democrats

Posted: April 20, 2024 by datechguy in Uncategorized

For the first time in history an impeachment sent to the Senate didn’t produce a trail because the Democrats didn’t feel like having one.

It’s amazing how easy it is to ignore the Constitution when you have a party whose primary voter base either doesn’t know or doesn’t care what it actually says.

Sooner or later the tables will be turned and suddenly the press and the dems will decry the fact that we’re playing by their rules

Apparently Iran’s plan on dealing with the Israeli air strikes is to simultaneously pretend they didn’t happen and claim they destroyed everything Israel sent, but apparently the Jewish state made their point.

Such a pretense excuses Iran from an escalation that would lead to disaster as Israel demonstrated both Iran’s lack of effective defense and their lack of allies willing to throw down for them, well except for Maxine Waters who apparently denies Iran even attacked Israel.

I somehow don’t think she’s enough to sustain them.

RFK’s access to the ballot in Michigan leads folks to believe that he gives the “death to the Jews” left an alternate to Biden who they hate and Trump who they hate more.

I disagree, RFK is solidly behind Israel and hasn’t been shy about saying so. If those votes are going anywhere else they’re going to Cornell West.

What I’m really interested in seeing is if the Islamic community is content to let the folk in Lansing steal their votes if the numbers don’t look good.

If you want to note confirmation that England has been conquered by the Islamists this video is all you need to see:

How DARE that Englishman be openly Jewish in the capital of Great Britain!

I’m glad the Few did not live to see England conquered.

Finally Robert Stacy McCain notes that being a fugitive on the lam doesn’t take away the right for your vote to be counted in the Pennsylvania Legislature. If you’re a Democrat that is.

A Pennsylvania Democrat providing a critical vote for his party in the state House is on the lam after allegedly violating a protective order related to abuse, authorities told The Post.
Philadelphia police issued a warrant for state Rep. Kevin Boyle on Tuesday after the 44-year-old Democrat, who has struggled with mental health issues but is still on the ballot for a primary election next week, broke the Protection From Abuse Order, a department spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday afternoon.
Democrats control the Pennsylvania House of Representatives by a razor-thin 102-101 majority, meaning his votes in absentia allow the party to pass legislation for the time being.
“We tried to address this situation this morning by asking that Mr. Boyle be placed on leave,” Republican caucus leader Rep. Bryan Cutler (Lancaster) said. “The Democrats are insisting that not only he’s not on leave, but he is in fact eligible to vote.”
“You’ve got an individual who has an arrest warrant out who is either a fugitive from justice and waiting to be processed, or they are in communication with him about his votes and therefore they are harboring him and should communicate that to law enforcement,” he added.

I guess Dostoevsky’s “If there is no God, everything is permitted” is now: “If you’re a Democrat everything is excused.”

House Republicans proved they are no better than Democrats

No major American political party represents the will of American voters, nor do they respect the Constitution.  The Democratic Party, which used to represent workers, has gone completely Marxist.  The Republican Party claims to be the party which loves individual liberty, free market capitalism, and the Constitution.  Events documented in this article prove they are just as bad as the Democrats: Breitbart – Lawmakers, Privacy Experts Sound Alarm on Most ‘Terrifying Expansions of Government Surveillance’ in History in Spy Powers Bill

Lawmakers and privacy experts on both sides of the political spectrum are sounding the alarm on a provision in a spy powers reform bill that one senator described as one of the “most terrifying expansions of government surveillance” in history.

Eighty-six House Republicans last Friday voted for the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA), a bill that would reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Section 702 is a government surveillance authority that is meant to target foreign adversaries, but often surveils Americans’ communications without a warrant.

The 86 Republicans who voted for this pile of excrement are traitors to the United States Constitution.   They did worse than vote to reauthorize FISA, they made it far more odious.

Despite the outrage at the passage of the legislation, 110 Republicans also voted for an amendment proposed by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) and committee Ranking Member Jim Himes (D-CT) that would seek dramatically expand the ability for the government to surveil Americans’ communications.

The measure updates the definition of electronic service provider to also include “any other service provider who has access to equipment that is being or may be used to transmit or store wire or electronic communications.”

The amendment would significantly expand the number of businesses and their employees who could be compelled to spy on their customers and provide warrantless access to their communications systems in accordance to this controversial FISA provision.

As you can see from this article, Breitbart – Eighty-Six House Republicans Vote for Warrantless Surveillance of Americans, the traitorous Republicans took a philosophical and literal dump on the Constitution.

Eighty-six House Republicans on Friday voted against an amendment to require a warrant for surveillance of Americans’ communications.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) proposed an amendment to the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA), a bill that would reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Section 702 is a law that is meant to target foreign adversaries, but often surveils Americans’ private communications without a warrant.

The amendment tied at 212-212 in the House; a tie in the House means that the measure fails. Although Biggs’s amendment did receive support from a majority of Republicans, 86 House Republicans failed to support the proposal.

Speaker of the House Johnson proved himself to be no better than Nancy Pelosi when he cast the deciding vote on this abomination.

Under the Fedora Catching UP The Dog that didn’t Bark, The Sunshine State that Did, What a difference a few minutes make, This Puts the Fear of God in the Left, And SCOTUS strikes Back

After four days of Pinball it’s time to catch up on a few things:

The Iranian attack on Israel took place while I was at Pintastic. There was an excellent graphic showing where the various missiles and drones came from. I think it quite significant that none came from Lebanon.

Why? Lebanon is in range of an Israeli invasion and can do so without having to cross any other border.

Do you think Iran would have dared to attack if an Israeli army could reach them directly?

The supporters of Iran were busy shutting down airports and bridges around the country, however in Florida thing went a bit differently:

Ron DeSantis had something to say about this as well:

I don’t like heat and I don’t like bugs but I must say Florida is looking better and better as a place to live

The President of Columbia University and their board testified today on antisemitism on campus.

When asked under oath if a professor who praised the attack of Oct 7th was on a particular committee she claimed: “he is no longer a chair of that Committee.”

Yet a few minutes later:

Mafiosi dream to be as feared by their prey as these college presidents are of these supporters of terror.

There are a lot of fears that the left has with this upcoming election, the bad economy, the border crisis, the protestors blocking bridges, but if I had to pick one thing that scares them the most, it would be this:

The Bodega and Small Business Group (BSBG), which represents thousands of bodegas in New York City, has issued a statement backing President Donald J. Trump, slamming local District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and hitting out at local politicians who have ignored the widespread criminality occurring in the city.

“The Bodega and Small Business Group (BSBG)… is honored to host President Donald J. Trump at the Blue Moon bodega in Manhattan where Jose Alba was arrested for simply defending himself and his business against a convicted felon, the statement began.

If the left thought for one moment that the Spanish speaking community was starting to lean Trump the border would be sealed tighter than a drum.

Right now a case is being argued at the Supreme Court that will have a huge impact on many of the J6 defendants.

The question of selective prosecution came up and Justice Gorsuch make short work of US Solicitor Elizabeth Prelogar

The funny thing is none of those examples listed by Justice Gorsuch were hypothetical. All of them where things the left have actually done.

I’m hoping that in ten years we will look back at these days in Amazement and ask ourselves how we ever let this happen?

The U.S. and the Middle East: A record of failure

As the U.S. government muddles its way through the current crisis in Israel, I am reminded how American involvement in Middle East affairs usually turns out badly for almost everyone involved.

Here’s a quick review of past mistakes:

–In 1953, the CIA helped launch the overthrow of duly elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh and helped return the shah to power. Ultimately, the coup fueled religious discontent and led to the rule of mullahs in Teheran.

–In 1957, President Dwight Eisenhower launched a plan of economic and military aid to the Middle East. Lebanon was the only country to embrace the doctrine, which eventually led the U.S. Navy to send ships and troops to Beirut when the pro-Western regime was threatened. The Lebanese president, Camille Chamoun, was a Christian, and his critics were Muslims. The Christian-Muslim divide eventually broke out into a civil war in the 1970s, which continued for nearly two decades, with the United States seen as supporting the Christians over the Muslims.

–In 1982, the United States sent ‘peacekeeping forces” to Beirut after Israel invaded Lebanon. Again, the United States did not appear as a neutral play, leading Muslim extremists to launch attacks against American Marines, leaving more than 200 soldiers dead in 1983.

–In 1978-9, the Carter Administration helped create the Camp David Accords, intended to bring peace between Egypt and Israel. Ultimately, Egypt became isolated in the Arab world, leading to deeper divisions in the Middle East.

–In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the U.S. government launched several ill-advised policies. First, the United States provided weapons to Islamic groups fighting Soviet forces in Afghanistan. Eventually, these groups fought U.S. troops after the 2001 attacks. Second, the United States asked Egypt to supply weapons to Iraqi troops fighting Iran in the 1980s. That program encouraged Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who sent his troops to Kuwait in 1990. After that, the administration launched Operation Desert Storm to drive out the Iraqi military.

–More recently, the U.S. military invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, leading to more chaos and anti-American sentiment throughout the Middle East.

All told, the United States has an abysmal record in bringing stability to the region. So far, the Biden administration has vacillated between support for Israel and concern for the Palestinians in Gaza.

Given the U.S. government’s history of mistakes, I think we are unlikely to help resolve the current crisis.
