The Socialist Insurgence of Pramila Jayapal

The Democratic Party is in full civil war mode now.

This is not the time for such fighting, however, if the Democratic Party hopes to regain control of either chamber of Congress or hold onto key governships throughout the country.

But I say let the Democratic Party implode. The leadership have appeased the most destructive, anti-American, vile elements within their conference. They have stood by and allowed communists and Nazis to invest, infiltrate, and invade their party.

They have embraced this Cultural Marxist subtely, and they deserve to reap the wind for their hateful failures.

And Jayapal is all in on the destruction:

Arthur Christopher,

Right now there’s a lot of talk about what Democrats need to do to win back power — and more importantly, what we’ll do when we actually have power.

But to answer both of these questions, what the Democratic Party is going to have to decide is “what do we stand for?”

Because we can’t just be against Donald Trump. We have to be for something.

Yet even now there are already pundits, and some of my colleagues in Congress, who want to push to the center. They want us to become Trump-lite instead of articulating the vision of what we stand for on our own terms, informed by what we see in our conversations and hear on the ground and see in the data.

I couldn’t disagree more.

I believe we need to clearly stand up for our principles. We need to respond to the urgency of people’s economic concerns. And we need to offer a real contrast to the Republican Party.

So here’s what I stand for:

• Medicare for All.
• Living wages for all.
• Universal childcare.
• An economy that works for everyone.

And I am so proud of the progressive candidates who are standing up and saying loudly and clearly what they believe in as they run in Democratic primary elections across the country. Over the past few months, they’ve been winning races in state after state — and we need to learn from their success.

I’m going to continue using my voice to push our party to take bold action that centers the real, pressing concerns that poor and working people across this country are dealing with right now.

But since my very first campaign, I’ve never taken a dime of corporate PAC money. Which means I’m counting on your grassroots support to keep fighting for our progressive vision for the future.

So Arthur Christopher, if you’re with me, can I count on you to pitch in $3 or any amount today to help power this movement?

In solidarity,

Pramila Jayapal

Fryin' Ted: Rep. Lieu Confronted, Triggered Over Charlie Kirk Resolution Vote

Fryin' Ted Gets Triggered

 

Well, this is something you don't see every day.

The Left in Los Angeles are aggressive in their tactics. They will attack Democratic politicians every chance they get because they are not sufficiently left-wing.

The abusive, violent Left celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk. But Congressmen in Washington have to present some level of decorum. It's bad politics to vote against a resolution commemorating Charlie Kirk and condemning his assassination.

House Resolution 719 praised Charlie Kirk and his tireless defense of Christ, America, and freedom of speech.

The Resolution issued condolences to the family of Charlie Kirk, praised law enforcement for their efforts in apprehending the assassin who murdered Kirk, and condemned all political violence.

The insane, evil Left cannot stand any emotions or show of love, support, grace, or care to anyone on the Right or anyone who is conservative.

Yet Democrats were in a tough spot:

1. If they voted against the Resolution, they would be viewed as heartless miscreants who endorse political violence, thus damaging their already tattered political brand.

2. If they voted for the Resolution, they would invite the fury of their left-wing base and progressive voters and donors.

Rep. Ted Lieu voted for the Resolution.

William of "Film the Police LA" confronted Lieu at the Mann Chinese Theater during a political press conference yesterday:

A post shared by Film The Police LA (@filmthepolicela)

Congresswoman Judy Chu took the questions in stride, pointing out that she voted for the resolution because she condemns political violence.

Congressman Ted Lieu became violent himself when he was confronted about this vote.

William of "Film The Polic LA" refused to let up. He blasted Lieu for supporting "racist" Charlie Kirk, because of his supposed criticism of Dr. Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Act. Those conversations are much more complex and nuanced than Mr. Film the Police would like to admit, but seeing him make Rep. Lieu uncomfortable is quite entertaining!

And why is Lyin' Ted turning into Fryin' Ted under the pressure?

The Left understands this fundamental rule about politics: you hit your own team harder, demanding that they step up and follow through on every promise and plank in the political platform. Congressional District 36 is very left-leaning, so Lieu has little to fear from Republicans or conservatives. However, if the liberal voters think that Rep. Lieu is selling out his supposed progressive principles and giving into Republicans, they will not only eat him alive, but support a more leftist primary challenger to remove him from office! Many California Democratic Congressmen are facing stiff AOC-style primary challenges for Election 2026, and the last thing they want is to appear as though they are caving to Trump and the Republicans, not fighting aggressively enough against the MAGA agenda.

That's why Lieu's goose is getting cooked--and it's fun to see!

I can't wait to see how else left-wing activists began harassing and confronting these horrid politicians. It's time for them to get a taste of their own abusive medicine for once. 

Raw Story Flays Fishy Vishy

Wow! The Left v. Left Civil war is getting intense! Raw Story just called out Mental Vishal as a domestic terrorist, too:

Why is this @RawStory writer falsely accusing me of participating in the firebombing of buildings? Naturally, he has no evidence for this serious claim. Can't help but notice the only "like" on this tweet so far is from a Three Percenters leader, an actual domestic terrorist. https://t.co/5pMpDwU1q4

— Vishal P. Singh (they/he) 🏳️‍⚧️ ✨Watch G-Witch✨ (@VPS_Reports) November 3, 2022

Wow!

Raw Story is a Left-Wing rag, yet even they have declared war on mentally ill Fishy Vishy.

First, he wants to groom kids.

Second, he promotes abject hate against science and truth.

Third, he lies about citizens who want to protect their children and their health.

And now, even left-wing press against have had enough for his crap!

MoveOn.org Confuses Fascism with Democracy

The Regressive Left believes in democracy, if the outcomes suit their political agenda.

Anything else is fascism to them, straight up.

Here's the latest stupid rant from MoveOn.org whining about the collapse of democracy. The fact is that they don't like that Republicans and conservatives are fighting back, and fighting back better using their own activist techniques against them!

Dear MoveOn member, 

As Trump continues to threaten fascist violence in response to a possible indictment (he just told a right-wing talk show host that there will be "... problems in this country, the likes of which perhaps we have never seen before" if he is charged with a crime).¹

And as his white supremacist henchmen in the U.S. Congress do the same (Lindsey Graham: "literally, there will be riots").²

We have some heroes we want to tell you about whom we hope you will directly support and who are trying to preserve our democracy one state at a time.

These five candidates are quietly going about the business of stopping Trump's handpicked accomplices from taking over the highest election office of five states—secretary of state.

Before we tell you about these champions for democracy, understand whom they are trying to defeat. Who they must defeat. The people they are running against are literally Oath Keepers, insurrectionists, leaders of sham lawsuits, white supremacists, vote suppressors, and election deniers.

These five include anti-democratic, pro-fascist Republicans ready to overturn any election or suppress any vote if the result isn't what they want.

That's why we are asking you not to give to us but to give to the five candidates we have listed below. By clicking here, your $3 donation will be split evenly between these five campaigns, all of which are trying to protect our democracy from the fascism of Donald Trump.

As you know, in many states, the secretary of state is the single most important position for ensuring election integrity and preventing Trump's next attempt at a coup. That's why in the five swing states of Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan (all states won by Biden in 2020), Trump and Steve Bannon are pulling out all the stops—from candidate recruitment to flooding the airwaves with dark money—to secure the top elections post in each.

And that's why MoveOn made the unprecedented decision this year to lean in heavily in these races. We know that if we are not diligent, these election deniers will attempt to disregard the will of the people and install Trump in the White House. These are the Democratic candidates we are supporting:

Democrat Adrian Fontes in Arizona, who is running against Republican Mark Finchem. Finchem participated in the insurrection on January 6 and is a member of the white supremacist Oath Keepers. He said the 2020 election was "rigged" and a "fraud."³

Democrat Cisco Aguilar in Nevada, who is running against Republican Jim Marchant. Marchant openly declares he would not have certified the election results for Joe Biden in 2020. He has said it is "very possible" that he will submit alternate electors in 2024, if he's elected.⁴

Democrat Jocelyn Benson in Michigan, who is running against Republican Kristina Karamo. Karamo still believes Trump is president, claims she saw fraud in Detroit, where none existed, and filed a sham lawsuit to get the Supreme Court to throw out the 2020 results.⁵

Democrat Jena Griswold in Colorado, who is running against Republican Pam Anderson. Anderson refuses to denounce Donald Trump's attacks on our democracy and has campaigned alongside Erik Aadland, a devout election denier running for Congress.⁶

Democrat Bee Nguyen in Georgia, who is running against Republican Brad Raffensperger. Raffensperger championed one of the most restrictive voting rights laws that the GOP pushed after losing the 2020 election, blocking drop boxes, restricting early voting, and denying water to voters waiting on line for hours in the heat.⁷

Without overstating it, stopping Trump from returning to the White House in 2024 may well depend on these five Democratic candidates winning their seats. Please split a $3 donation to these candidates now. Every dollar you send will go directly to them.

Thanks for all you do.

MoveOn.org has never had any real credibility, ever since they stood by the stained Presidency of Bill Clinton. Now, they are busy carrying water for the regressive left, looking for every excuse to criminalize any political opposition in the country.

The left-wing, socialist, communist, Satanist forces in the United States know that their time is limited. They will stop at nothing to hold onto whatever little power they have left, and they will shame, blame, and defame anyone who tries to stand in their way.

But there is a massive uprising of the citizenry in this country which is refusing to put up with this abuse, this destructive, this moral chaos which has become all too common. We the People are exercising our rights as citizens in a democratic Republic, and no one is going to take them away under the guise of besmirching us as fascists.

Jenna "Karen" McKee: Pervert, Cyberbully, Disgrace to the City of Torrance

Just as there are creepy teachers indoctrinating and poisoning the minds of unwilling or unwitting students in the classroom (who are a captive audience, and therefore cannot avoid the indoctrination), there are creepy, perverted activists who want to groom children to be harmed, abused, exploited by this LGBT agenda.

One of them is a Torrance native named Jenna "Karen" McKee.

Notice the communist flag behind her in the photo above.

Apparently, she is A-OK with the mass murder of hundreds of millions of impoverished people around the world.

She has quite a disturbing bio listed on her Twitter page:

If it's not clear what her problems are, here's a meme with her bio:

She has some, well, let's just say  ... very sad, hateful views:

anyway fuck the troops

— 🌙jenna♏️ (@CumboyBebop) April 3, 2022

She likes to use the "f-word" a great deal. As stated above, she is quite a pervert.

She thinks that babies can be racist:

do you think babies are racist??

— 🌙jenna♏️ (@CumboyBebop) March 30, 2022

Seriously ...

She also supports the sexual mutilation of minors:

About to cause a ruckus at my local school board meeting! I’ll keep you all updated pic.twitter.com/CoO92s90Ht

— 🌙jenna♏️ (@CumboyBebop) March 22, 2022

Transgenderism is a mental illness. Children who struggle with gender dysphoria need help, not more enabling to be abused. Karen thinks it's great for children to be abused.

Creepy Karens like Jenna McKee need to be kept as far away as possible from children.

They are perverts, and they are predators pushing evil designs on innocent children.

Torrance, California is better than this. Torrance is "The Balanced City," and someone as mental unhinged and imbalanced as Jenna "Karen" McKee has no business pushing her hate in school boards and onto children.

She also feels the need to showcase her self-loathing. She knows people are exposing her:

Umm frog and toad are LITERALLY gay communist lovers 😐😐😐 it makes perfect sense! pic.twitter.com/auGz7InltW

— 🌙jenna♏️ (@CumboyBebop) August 4, 2021

"Frog and Toad are gay communist lovers" .... really. Sick and demented. Once again, she shouldn't be around kids ... or adults for that matter.

Sadly, she paid a visit to the Torrance Unified School Board in March, 2022:

She knew that I was attending the school board meeting, but she stayed away. She had to, since the shame of her crusade to promote child abuse against children would have gone public right then and there:

Context https://t.co/g6BDcu5YHs

— 🌙jenna♏️ (@CumboyBebop) March 22, 2022

The only context that matters is that she is sick, demented, disturbed, and quite a cyberbully. Of course, like all LGBT bigots, she loves to play victim: all while victimizing others, of course.

I guess I live in her head rent-free. There must be a great deal of space up there, since the only things she obssesses on are how to destroy children, how to pervert society, and how to abolish any form of law enforcement.

At the Torrance School Board meeting, she was determined to make sexual exploitation and abuse of children acceptable, calling it "diversity, tolerance, inclusion, etc."

Notice that her shirt was not visible during her public comment before the Torrance School Board. She is so ashamed of her own child-hatred, that she didn't want the school board members to see her shirt.

Why are sick people like this allowed in public forums like school boards? What would parents think if someone like this walked into the meeting, advertising the promotion of gender mutilation onto children?

If you see Jenna McKee near a school or a student, tell her to get away as soon as possible. Make a loud scene if necessary. She should be exposed, shamed, and excoriated from the public because of her vile hatred of children, biology, and the natural facts of marriage, life, and family. 

Brainwashed: Average California Voter

The recall vote came and went.

Gavin prevailed. I kind of figured that that would happen.

Polling had consistently shown that most of the voters were ready to keep Gavin, even though he had put the state through some of the worst policy destructions imagineable.

This state is the first in the worst metrics, including homelessness, cost of housing, cost of living, etc.

Then again, I also kind of expected that many of the voters would go alone with King Gavin, regardless.

Here's a picture of one of his supporters:

This video contains an "interview" with your average California voter, when I was collecting signatures to recall the foolish governor:                       

                 
 

The guy is so bought into the false rhetoric and fake news which is endemic in our corporate media. He pretty much defended Gavin Newsom.

Notice also that he refused to tell me whether he really had a job or not. He also thought he was really smart, witty even because he kept pointing out that this is the year 2021, even though the recall effort had begun in 2020, and therefore that's why a number of the banners read "Recall Gavin 2020."

He also lectured me at length about wearing a mask. By what authority? For what reason? When I finally pressed him: "Go ahead and call the police," it shut him up.

You can't argue with someone when you are powerless to stop them from doing whatever they are doing.

In the final part of this "interview," I decided to talk over this empty man. He is clearly unable to think, clearly unable to reason. He thinks that he is the smartest guy in the parking lot, and therefore there is no talking to him.

There you have your average California voter. This is what has happened in the state of California. People are decrepit, worn out, with no skills, no capacities beyond depending on the government to take care of them. Notice the high-powered scooter he was using to get around. Does it really seem as if the guy needed that scooter? And why is he smoking? And why is he given into all of these lies about "politician" Gavin, when in reality he has made himself a king?

The average California voter does not think, but has given into the Gavin Newsom cult of the regressive left. I met it face to face in February, 2021--and now here we are in mid-September, and Gavin has bested the recall effort. No surprise, but great disappointment, to be sure.

Chronological Snobbery: Media Reaction to Victory for Section 377a in Singapore

"[T]o say a law is archaic is merely chronological snobbery." -- Dr. Thio Li-Ann

The courts in the Republic of Singapore have upheld Section 377a, the statutes which criminalize homosexual offenses.

To say that the mainstream (read, liberal and pro-LGBT) media is not taking this news well would be an understatement.

Certainly, the pro-gay news sites in the world are foaming at the mouth.

Pink News reports:

Singapore doubles down on homophobia, says millions of menare breaking the law by having gay sex

Here's what they had to write:

The Singapore High Court has dismissed three separate challenges to a law that criminalises sex acts between men.

Gay and bisexual men in Singapore will continue to live as “un-apprehended criminals” under Section 377A, an outdated law colonial-era law.

Section 377A defines sex between consenting men as “acts of gross indecency” punishable by up to two years in prison. This also extends to anyone who abets, procures or attempts to procure such acts, but does not apply to lesbians.

Last year three separate challenges against Section 377A were launched by three Singaporean activists, including an organiser of the Pink Dot rally.

Prior to this there had been two unsuccessful attempts to repeal the law in recent years, but the trio petitioned the High Court to revisit its earlier decision in light of new evidence.

There is no end to the demands. The homosexual activists won't quit until pro-family and anti-LGBT activists work hard enough to break their will. They need to know that we are not playing around, and we have no interest in seeing this perversion become widespread.

Speaking to The Gay UK, Téa Braun of the Human Dignity Trust said: “This decision will be extremely disappointing for the plaintiffs and the wider LGBT+ community in Singapore, who had great hopes that new evidence presented to the court would make it clear that these draconian laws cannot withstand proper constitutional scrutiny.

"Draconian"? Really? The law is not actively enforced! 

“The ruling will also echo harmfully around Asia, where millions of people are criminalised simply because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.”

This statement is good new indeed. Yes, we want nations like Singapore to take the lead in announcing that homosexuality is wrong, aberrant, destructive, and therefore should not be promoted or protected in any country. Yes, more Asian countries should embrace this standard and defend or reinstate their laws criminalizing homosexual conduct.

LGBT+ rights remain a thorny issue in the socially-conservative city-state, but Singaporean activists are determined to see change.

I would like to return to the headline for this article: "Doubles down on homophobia."

Opposing homosexuality is not a mental disorder, but a sign of mental clarity and intellectual accuity. It is wisdom of a higher order to recognize that homosexual conduct should not be allowed to run rampant in any country. These behaviors should not be celebrated or permitted. Indeed, the state has a right and necessity to restrain evil, and that means denouncing and delegitimizing homosexual acts.

It's not a "phobia" by any stretch of the imagination.

Now, let's look at more mainstream news sites on this topic.

Singapore Upholds Colonial Anti-Gay Laws: Being Gay Remains Illegal For 5.7 Million People

Forbes Magazine has now shacked up with the LGBT lobby?

The reporter refers to Section 377a as "colonial". i.e. backward, not progressive.

The pro-LGBT elements in the corporate world have jumped on the same perverse bandwagon, going to every length to celebrate sexual perversion and deviance. Homosexuals and their promoters around the world actually have a considerable amount of money. Most of them are wealthy investors and benefactors, and looking through historical records, one finds that homosexuality was a particular perversion of the elite, not the working or merchant classes--those groups were too busy earning a living and living their lives.

The second part of this title is outrageous, as well: "Being gay remains illegal."

Again, there is no such thing as "being gay". There is no gay identity, because there are not gay genetics. People are not "born that way". This massive fraud must be debunked thoroughly and unequivocally. When pro-business magazines and news sites traffic in this trash, they need to be held accountable.

How about the Financial Times? Surely they would write something more fair and balanced?

Singapore high court upholds law criminalising gay sex

This is the Financial Times, and even they have fallen for many of the lies of the LGBT lobby.

First of all, there is no such thing as "gay sex" (unless one is talking about the bless of marriage between man and woman). Two men cannot have sex. They can abuse each other's bodies, and they can sodomize each other, but they cannot have sex.

Secondly, the Section 377a statute clear states "acts of gross indecency". Homosexual acts, including sodomy, rimming, fisting, and other perverse behaviors, are all forms of indecency, and they should not be promoted.

Now, let's look at the first paragraph of the report:

Singapore’s high court has upheld a colonial-era law that criminalises sex between men, putting the international financial centre at odds with the liberal trend to embrace same-sex relationships.

Once again, the writer mentions "Colonial," i.e. backward, wrong-headed, stuck in the past, etc.

Notice also that the writer appeals to this fallacy that there is this Zeitgeist around the world that homosexuality is being embraced, and that Singapore is the last hold-out against the inevitable triumph of gay marriage and the so-called normalization of homosexual relationships.

This falsehood has become quite prevalent in First World countries. Many Western powers, or at least their globalist-leaning leaders, are convinced that part of economic progress means sexual liberation and laxity. Nothing could be further from the truth. Undermining moral relations between men and women has a host of damaging consequences on societies and peoples. Chinese cultures were getting stuck because of the rampant disregard for natural relations between men and women. Ancient Greek city-states also collapsed with the decline and fall of the family, and the rise of rampant, militant homosexuality.

Singapore is indeed a strong, vibrant, enviable financial sector. That status is not in conflict with the nation's wise decision to criminalize acts of gross indecency between men.

Final Reflection

"Colonial"

"Archaic"

"Backward"

These are the arrogant sentiments of the liberal media and LGBT activists when it comes to normalizing homosexual behaviors and transgender ideologies. They cast anyone who opposes the rank promotion of perversion as "backward", "not with it", or worse yet "bigoted".

It's stunning and sad to see how biased, how bereft of integrity the media have become around the world. They need to be held accountable for this deriliction of duty, and pro-family activists must stick to their convictions and confront such chronological snobbery categorically.

Tim "Flag-Burning, Anti-American" Goodrich Whines About "In God We Trust" in Torrance City Council Chambers

Torrance City Councilman Tim Goodrich has been a blight on our city council chambers since the moment he was elected, since the moment he ran for office.

This guy wanted to fly the American Flag high for everyone to see, when he ran for office. He loved playing up his veteran status. He wanted everyone to see him as a loving, patriotic Torrance homebody.

The truth is quite different, even sinister.

The truth is that he was anti-war flag burner shortly after the Iraq war, and he hoped that everyone would conveniently forget about it. He lambasted the the military and attack our country's leaders.

On top of that, he's not from Torrance. He's a carpet-bagger from Buffalo, New York, and the Democratic Party put him in this seat in the vain hopes that he could be a politician who would move up the ranks into Congress and perhaps one day run for President.

Now, he's just an embittered progressive who can't anything done that he wants to accomplish.

A pro-Torrance majority has taken back the reins of power on the Torrance City Council.

And as of May 14, 2019, the Torrance City Council will have "In God We Trust" posted on the front of the chambers.

Now, how did Touchy Timmy respond to this?

He whined, he belly-ached about the lack of transparency. Really? This from the guy who was trying to force Community Choice Aggregation onto the city of Torrance, who refused to provide the requisite details on the program.

This is the same Tim Goodrich which didn't tell anyone about his anti-war, anti-American, progressive, Left-wing past!

And he was appalled -- APPALLED, I tell you -- that the city of Torrance would recognize our country's national motto inside our city council chambers.

APPALLED!

Here is his official email whining to the public:

I’m proud to say that during my last 5 years on the City Council, we have always operated with transparency and the best interest of the public in mind. That is, until this past Tuesday night. It brings me no joy to write this email, but I was witness to an unprecedented lack of transparency and I’m sharing it with you because, as the quote above says, the best way to stop it from happening again is to make sure people are aware of it.

Oh please, Timmy. Give it a rest!

It started two months ago when Councilmembers George Chen, Milton Herring, Aurelio Mattucci, and Mike Griffiths voted 4-3 to place the words “In God We Trust” on the wall behind the Council dais after receiving an email from a woman in Bakersfield (I've never heard a Torrance resident ask for this). 

That's because Timmy ignored their interest in doing this. Timmy isn't interested in requests from people whom he does not agree with.

Despite their proclamation that this was a “unifying issue”, it proved to be a very divisive issue. Not only was it brought just days after a religious extremist killed dozens of Muslims in New Zealand, but an overwhelming majority of the public spoke in opposition (including the South Coast Interfaith Council, an organization representing dozens of faiths), and a compromise solution put forward by Councilmember Rizzo, Mayor Furey, and myself was rejected out of hand. Additionally, per longstanding precedent (ie, the recent City Hall front entrance redesign), we urged this item to be referred to the appropriate committee to allow for further public input on the design and placement, but this too was rejected.

Making decisions is often going to be divisive, Being decisive means that you will may be divisive. It's part of leadership. You should know that, Timmy, having served in the military.

When the item came back for discussion regarding design and placement of the wording this past Tuesday, I argued that the item should be delayed by one week because we were conducting business without the public present (due to an unrelated incident just minutes earlier that led to four arrests), but that too was rejected out of hand. I still don’t understand the urgency to move this item forward without any public participation, but the same four Councilmembers voted to move forward and approved an expenditure of almost $2,000 for this item.

"Due to an unrelated incident"  -- wow, is that what you think of the Black Lives (Don't) Matter Hate group?

The issue here is not one of religion (I’m a baptized and confirmed brother of a pastor), its one of transparency and I feel that the standard the residents of Torrance have come to expect was not lived up to.

Yes, Timmy, the issue is religion. You don't want God to have any audience or recognition in the city council chambers or anywhere else in our country. You are an atheistic, narrow-minded bigot, nothing more.

Making sure we listen to the public and operate transparently is what has set Torrance apart from other cities in the past and I will continue to make sure we act as transparently as possible going forward. I hope that you will continue to be involved in our City and I encourage you to be in touch with us at any time on matters of interest to you. Our email addresses can be found here: https://www.torranceca.gov/government/city-council

Don't Worry, Timmy, we are still very much invested in what is happening in our city.

That's why the city council is more responsive to the concerns of the city, and why good things are finally happening in the city of Torrance.

Torrance Forward!
