Hillary ‘the Russia Hoaxer’ Clinton wants to imprison people for ‘propaganda’

2 days ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

Hillary Clinton does not have a reputation for honesty. Indeed, ever since she burst onto the political scene, the one guarantee with Hillary was that you couldn’t trust her. Whole articles have been published about the whoppers she’s told over the decades (see, e.g., here and here). One thing, though, that’s always seemed to be true is . After hearing her latest pronouncement, though, I must admit to having my doubts about that statement, too.
A New Mexico judge resigned over allegations that he kept a Tren de Aragua member in his home

3 days ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

The Breitbart headline looks like something ripped straight from the Babylon Bee: “New Mexico Democrat Judge Resigns After ICE Arrests Alleged Tren de Aragua Gang Member in His Home.” But it’s not satire about the Democrat party’s abiding love for illegal aliens, especially the more violent ones. Instead, if true, it’s yet more evidence that the Democrat party no longer represents or even cares about ordinary Americans.
The Pope’s death is leading to yet more anti-Israel and anti-Trump propaganda

3 days ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

Pope Francis interpreted his faith through a Marxist lens. He had strong criticism for national borders, a generic leftist position. And of course, he strongly supported Gaza, and Gaza is Hamas. Now that this old, sick man has passed away, the leftists are out in force, blessing his memory and blaming both JD Vance and Israel for his passing. No one, whether they loved or hated the Pope, can deny his left-wing creds.
So-called 'trans women' activists are getting increasingly dangerous

3 days ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

Because Democrats have decided to stake their political future on so-called “transgenderism,” it’s important to remind people that, until recently, “transgenderism”—or, more accurately, body dysphoria—was defined as a mental illness. That may explain the rise in violence by so-called “transwoman.” What you see is delusional people with the aggression of men and the emotionalism of women. This is a very dangerous combination.
The DOJ must block Justice Gorsuch’s textualist approach to Supreme Court reasoning

3 days ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

One of the bees in my bonnet is Justice Gorsuch’s decision in 2020’s Bostock v. Clayton County. In that case, Gorsuch said that the word “sex” in the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which then meant only biological sex, must be understood in light of modern “transgender” activism to mean a person’s self-chosen sexual identity.
President AOC? Yes, it’s a real possibility.

Sunday is a “clearing the spindle” day, and one of the things on my spindle has been Nate Silver’s prediction last week that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka AOC, is currently the most likely person to be the Democrat party’s 2028 presidential candidate. Frankly, I think he’s right. She’s telegenic, has name recognition, and manages to make the same politics that killed tens of millions of people in the 20th century seem user-friendly.
Democrats try re-casting DEI as nothing more than ADA

4 days ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

There was a peculiar story that made the news last week: A gay Ford executive attacked an older man in an airport because the man was watching Fox News and used a wheelchair when he got off the plane. The man, he said, should be grateful for DEI! Huh? When you read a little further into this simultaneously abusive and self-righteous tweet, you discover that the executive was labeling as DEI the accommodations America has made for 35 years under the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”).
The Gates of Vienna have fallen

4 days ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

I’ve had sitting on my computer for a few days an essay by Rod Dreher, an American conservative who now lives in Hungary, the only country in Europe making a stand for traditional values and refusing to accept unlimited Islamic immigration. From his perch in Hungary, Dreher has written about his conversations with ordinary Europeans, who believe that civil war is imminent, a war that will see those who share European values arrayed against those who have embraced leftism and Islam.
Mahmoud Khalil, a spokesman for an organization advocating killing Jews, likens himself to an Auschwitz victim

4 days ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

It takes a special kind of evil openly advocates for organizations demanding Jewish blood to claim our government is acting like the Nazis and compare himself to a Jew in Auschwitz. Mahmoud Khalil is just that evil, as is the Washington Post, which hosted that vile comparison.
A Massachusetts judge has blocked Trump’s effort to remove imaginary ‘genders’ from passports

5 days ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

The ACLU is celebrating because a Biden-nominated District Court Judge in Massachusetts has ruled that President Donald Trump lacks the authority to make passports align with reality. For now, the mentally ill fantasies of the six plaintiffs appearing before that judge will continue to live on in official government identification documents. However, one can’t really blame the judge, because Justice Neil Gorsuch paved the way in the utterly misbegotten Bostock v. Clayton County.
