It’s shocking to hear about the way North Korean “Dear Leader” Kim Jung-un has killed his political enemies.
Blowing them apart with anti-aircraft guns. Incinerating them alive with flame throwers. Having them torn apart by vicious dogs.
But he did indeed kill them, Including his uncle, Jang Song Thaek.
The guy is depraved, but you can’t say you don’t know where he’s coming from.
Same as President Xi. He hates Uighur Muslims, so he locks them up in “re-education” concentration camps, and uses them as slaves.
And the Mau Maus in Kenya? They hated white settlers, so they killed them.
The word subterfuge wasn’t in any of their vocabularies.
But what do you do with political leaders who destroy their enemies by doing nothing?
Elected officials who do nothing about illegal immigration, and armed troops in the country’s capitol. Who allow “one-sided deals” with a tyrannical Iran, a flawed climate agreement that disadvantages America, and a Cancel Culture Administration that promotes punishing people for being white?
And do nothing to stop it.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy never ran with the 2020 voter fraud issue. Instead he’s still fundraising as if nothing adverse happened in the election, talking about 2022 elections as if this time it will be fair.
Without doing anything.
“We have never been stronger in the sense of what the future holds for us,” McCarthy told the Washington Post.
Except the president lost, Kevin. And there was widespread voter fraud.
But if McCarthy didn’t care that 75 million Trump voters want answers, neither did Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
McConnell delivered a vicious speech after President Trump was acquitted of impeachment which made it crystal clear where he's coming from. And who he supports. It's not Trump. And it's not America.
It was fortunate he wore a suit, so you couldn’t see the yellow stripe down his back.
“January 6th was a disgrace,” he said. “American citizens attacked their own government. They did this because they’d been fed wild, falsehoods. By the most powerful man on earth because he was angry. He lost an election.”
No, Senator. The Congressional hearing on January 6 was to address the Electoral College votes in that election. And possible fraud. And there are still viable lawsuits, with credible evidence, about voter fraud.
But McConnell doesn’t talk about any of that.
“Former President Trump’s actions preceded the riot or a disgraceful dereliction of duty. There’s no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it.”
Trump’s actions did not precede the riot. ​Information indicates plans to disrupt a peaceful demonstration took place days before Trump gave his speech.
And there are questions about it. Who is the man who shot Ashli Babbitt? The FBI refuses to release his name.
What are the names of the those who infiltrated the demonstration and turned it into a riot?
And why wasn't the news released that the policeman who was “attacked and died” in the Capitol died because he had a heart attack. His family said so.
But why isn’t a Republican like McConnell asking these questions?
And why aren’t Democrats?
This has all the earmarks of a set-up, a distraction, one that fits Nancy Pelosi’s play book.
This week there were Senate hearings on attorney general nominee Merrick Garland. The candidate said in his opening statement,
“I will supervise the prosecution of white supremacists and others who stormed the Capitol on January 6 — a heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy: the peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected government.”
Those are Trump supporters he’s referring to. He didn’t even, mention Black Lives Matter or Antifa or the riots that raged all of last year.
With every segment of our culture being erased, sadly now it’s the Muppets’ turn.
This week Disney added a content disclaimer to the beginning of 18 Muppet Show episodes.
“This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now,” the disclaimer reads.
“Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together.”
The “mistreatment of cultures” is Steve Martin singing a song with a Chinese accent, and Johnny Cash performing in front of a Confederate flag.
The only good thing to come out of this is, if your kid is fat, it isn’t your fault. The Cancel Culture is blaming the Cookie Monster.
The irony is that Jim Henson created the “Muppets” specifically to take away children's fear of “monsters.” And his purple and orange. and cookie-loving, number counting Muppets were friends, and were, in all ways “diverse.”
Luckily Disney hasn’t gotten its China-loving hands on the lovely relationship between Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy.
Thank God for that.
Hold the line, America.
