[NYPost] Do these parasites never go away? Who next? Anthony Weiner?
Former California congresswoman Katie Hill, who resigned in 2019 amid a highly publicized "throuple" sex scandal, said in a new interview that she is mulling another run for office.
Hill told "Axios on HBO" that in hindsight she now believes the scandal was "politically survivable," citing two current elected officials — Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz — who are facing their own allegations of sexual misconduct, but have refused to resign.
"You really wonder how much of it was the pressure I put on myself because I was a woman, and because I’d been an advocate for the #MeToo movement, and how much of it was sexism and ... the public shaming aspect of it, the revenge-porn aspect of it," Hill told the network of her resignation.
The former lawmaker revealed she is contemplating another run, but admitted it would "take a lot" for her to do so.
Hill resigned in October 2019 after she admitted to being in a "throuple" relationship with her now-ex-husband Kenneth Heslep and a 22-year-old female campaign staffer. Who was a lot hotter, btw

She needs to enlist the 'services' of the Weiner & Weiner group of New York - oh what fun that would be, pre-election scandal all the way around, get it out of the way, then they are clear to go on to other legislative and sexual debauchery.
"Wahh! I'm 32 and the world has not been remade according to my specifications. I shall move to another planet and tend bar there."
[Guardian]The underlying challenge for Biden is how to keep together an unwieldy Democratic coalition that encompasses conservative senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia — which is Donald Trump country — and senator Bernie Sanders, a self-declared democratic socialist from Vermont, who this week drafted a $6trn infrastructure package. Oh come on, let's just admit that Bernie is a Commmunist and cut out the verbal gymnastics.
Then there is the squad,
...the Guardian isn’t to know, being English and all, but it’s The Squad, because they’re just that kewl or something...
the left-leaning group of House members that now consists of seven people of color.
I missed the additions — are they budding?
The more that Manchin digs in his heels against ambitious legislation, the more restive the squad is likely to become, raising difficult questions over whether Biden is applying sufficient pressure to bring the doubters on board. I wonder how well Antifa would do in West Virginia.
Yvette Simpson, chief executive of the progressive organization Democracy for America, said: "Right now people are really getting frustrated because it’s been six months and we don’t see Joe Biden engaging in the way that he should to push for more support. In fact, he’s negotiating against us and what Democrats want.
Squad members including Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib sharply criticized Israel for its recent bombing of Gaza and challenged the Biden administration’s unwavering support for the country. And when Harris told Guatemalans, "Do not come" to the US, Ocasio-Cortez called the comment "disappointing" and noted that it is legal to seek asylum. Is there anyone who likes Harris? I mean other than Willie Brown.
Ocasio-Cortez has also been pushing Biden to face up to the fact that bipartisanship with a radicalized Republican party is a doomed enterprise.

Even Willie might be wondering if it was good for his reputation to...uh...date someone as repulsive as Kamala Harris.

Still waiting for that trumpeted demoncrat civil war to come about.
[HOTAIR] Governor Abbott threatened to defund the Texas Legislature after Texas Democrats walked out of the legislative session rather than take a vote on election reform laws. When they broke quorum and shut down the session, Abbott said that if politicians weren’t going to do their jobs, they shouldn’t be paid. Friday Abbott made good on that threat.
The elections bill was a top priority for the governor during this year’s session. Texas Democrats decided to cut and run, breaking quorum, instead of voting on Senate Bill 7. They knew that the Republicans had the votes to pass the legislation — both the Texas House and the Texas Senate hold Republican majorities. By breaking quorum when they did, Texas Democrats also stopped bail legislation reform, another of the governor’s priorities. Rather than do their jobs and vote, Democrats walked out, something that has rarely been done in the past. It is a cowardly move, not a move exhibiting strength.
At that time, at the end of May, Abbott tweeted out his intention to hold politicians accountable and said he would veto Article 10 in the budget which funds the legislative branch. On May 31 he tweeted: "I will veto Article 10 of the budget passed by the legislature. Article 10 funds the legislative branch. No pay for those who abandon their responsibilities. Stay tuned."
Texas has a biennial legislature which means it meets every other year. On Friday Governor Abbott signed the two-year state budget. He touted the budget as fiscally conservative. "It includes no new taxes and a budget surplus of more than $1 billion."

Starting with the papier mache head and protest craze of the 60's, the former democrat party has completely degenerated into a collection of puerile, petulant public stunts. The same way they have herniated themselves to coarsen and degenerate the social order at large and any public discourse. They talk about 'goals', but there is no enough, no destination simply directtional movement.
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Amid rampant censorship, the purge of conservatives from the internet and left-wing propaganda brazenly permeating the mainstream media, entertainment and academia, a kaboom of "fake-news" fact-checker sites devoted to delegitimizing The Gateway Pundit have emerged to bolstering the iron curtain.
The self-appointed gatekeepers of facts operate under the guise that they have no bias whatsoever and typically cloaked behind a veil of anonymity.
In reality, they are merely liberal activists with no actual journalism experience and are intent on reinforcing their preconceived narratives and opinionate news.
Fact-checking is an imminent necessity because "you’re not intelligent enough to adequately read, research and or rationalize for yourself," the socialist arbiters of truth proclaim, "so, you must rely on us to filter out the ’fake news.'"
Exhibit A: MediaBIasFactCheck.com, a fact-checking that prides itself as "the most comprehensive media bias resource in the Internet," despite being run by an owner who was previously exposed for misleadingly claiming to be a journalist.
According to the fact-checking site, The Gateway Pundit is not "right-center" or "right," but "extreme" and ranks "very low" in factual reporting for premising its reports on "failed facts on a near-daily basis."
MediaBiasFactCheck.com also claims The Gateway Pundit reports "propaganda," "conspiracy," "Nationalism" and "Some Fake News" and shares its "low credibility" rating with every prominent centrist or right of center media organizations. These media organizations include the Daily Caller, Breitbart, The Blaze, The Daily Wire, The Daily Mail, Epoch Times, The Federalist, Louder With Crowder, Project Veritas and Washington Free Beacon.

They are losing money faster than they can do what they do. Job losses mount every day. Old saying "my outgo is greater than my income".
[FOXNEWS] reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Mayor Lori Lightfoot ...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway. A racist to the bone, Lori sez that people with the same skin tone all think alike, not quite getting the implications for a city with a population less than thirty percent black... threw some major shade at the Chicago Bears on Friday, just one day after the organization announced it made a bid for land in Arlington Heights with plans to possibly build a new stadium there.
Lightfoot, a self-declared "longtime" fan, issued a statement slamming the announcement as just "noise."
"The Bears are locked into a lease at Soldier Field until 2033. In addition, this announcement from the Bears comes in the midst of negotiations for improvements at Soldier Field. This is clearly a negotiating tactic that the Bears have used before," Lighttfoot’s statement read.
"As a season ticketholder and longtime Bears fan, I am committed to keeping the ’Chicago’ name in our football team."
To further convey her point, Lightfoot took a jab at the Bears.
"Like most Bears fans, we want the organization to focus on putting a winning football team on the field, beating the Packers finally and being relevant past October. Everything else is noise."
The Bears have played at Soldier Field since 1972 and despite ongoing talks about renovations, capacity plays a big role in the organization's desire to relocate.
President & CEO Ted Phillips issued a statement on Thursday confirming a bid for the Arlington International Racecourse property, which sits just 35 miles outside Chicago.
"It's our obligation to explore every possible option to ensure we're doing what's best for our organization and its future. If selected, this step allows us to further evaluate the property and its potential."

Born a couple of blocks north of there on Lake Shore Drive.
Had my best, favorite a car accident at Soldier's Field.
Driving an inter-company mail route, southbound in fast lane 2 of 6 southbound. Green Maverick cuts left across 6 southbound lanes right in front of me. I'm driving a heavy Oldsmobile station wagon. I swerve to the left, spinning, and hit the Maverick in the trunk with my backend.
I turn into the SF parking lot and there's a tactical defensive driving traffic cop in the lot watching the whole thing.
Two Asians [Japanese] driving the Maverick pull in behind me and get out yelling at each other and trying to get into the crushed trunk.
The cop tells me "that's the best collision avoidance driving I've ever seen!" He goes to the Japanese guys and settles them down. One is trying to go back into the southbound traffic and sweep up the dust.
6-20-2021 A man was killed, and a woman was critically injured in a shooting Saturday night in Humboldt Park.
There has been crickets in the media about this possible hate crime
[NYPOST] Dozens of House Republicans are demanding President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...... remove Vice President Harris from her leading role handling the US migrant crisis, citing her "inaction" on the issue.
"Despite being in the midst of a border crisis this country has not seen in two decades, Vice President Harris has not yet shown adequate interest in observing this crisis first-hand," wrote Wisconsin Republican Glenn Grothman in a letter President Biden signed by 56 House politicians.
"In the 85 days since the Vice President has been tasked with solving this crisis, she has yet to visit the border and meet with Border Patrol agents, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials and local law enforcement officials," the letter continued.
Torrents of illegal migrants colonists flooding the US-Mexico border have created one of the earliest and most pressing challenges of Biden’s presidency and Harris has been tapped with solving the problem.
She recently traveled to Mexico and Guatemala where she took heat from progressives for bluntly telling would-be migrants colonists there not to come to the United States. The White House has tried to pivot and has stressed that Harris’ role is primarily diplomatic.
The Republicans allege Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and now Joe Biden's wing nut. She's displaying her level of competence in her hanling of the Biden Border Surge has "not shown adequate interest in observing this crisis first-hand."
A major sticking point has been Harris’ refusal (so far) to visit the US border herself. When pressed on the issue she has punted. Former President Trump — who made immigration a central talking point of his administration — said he will visit the border later this month with his close ally Texas, Gov. Greg Abbot.

[BREITBART] U.S. Representative Ted Lieu (D-CA) has challenged the U.S. bishops to refuse him Holy Communion at Mass, flaunting his support for child sacrifice abortion and same-sex marriage. Go ahead and sue the bishop. See what it gets you.
"Dear USCCB, I’m Catholic and I support contraception, a woman’s right to choose, treatments for infertility, the right for people to get a divorce, the right of same sex marriage," Lieu tweeted Friday. "Next time I go to Church, I dare you to deny me Communion," he taunted. The Church ain't no democracy. What're ya gonna do? Beat the priest up and take the wafer away from him?
The Jesuit-educated congressman, who attended Cleveland, kept in touch with the world by Obamaphone, ...was ruled by a Democrat machine from 1942 through 1971. After the river caught fire during the administration of Carl Stokes they tried a Republican, then went back to being Democrats when the party hacked up Dennis Kucinich ... ’s St. Ignatius High School and Georgetown University, enjoys a 100% politician rating from lobbyist NARAL for his spotless voting record in favor of child sacrifice abortion rights.
Lieu went on to tweet: "How radical is the @USCCB decision? A Catholic can love Jesus with all her heart, oppose child sacrifice abortion & work at Catholic Relief Services. But if she believes government shouldn’t put women in jail for an child sacrifice abortion, then she can be denied Communion."
"No wonder membership is declining," he stated.
Lieu was one of the 60 Democrats from the House of Representatives who signed a "Statement of Principles" Friday appealing to "primacy of conscience" as justification for promoting child sacrifice abortion, which the Catholic Church considers a very grave sin.
On Friday, the U.S. bishops voted overwhelmingly in favor of drafting a document on the reception of Holy Communion, a heavily debated topic following the election of President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass.... , a professed Catholic who supports the expansion of child sacrifice abortion rights.
In response to that vote, Ted Lieu called the leaders of the Catholic church "hypocrites" for failing to deny former Attorney General William Barr Communion for expanding use of the death penalty.
"You are being nakedly partisan and you should be ashamed. Another reason you are losing membership," he wrote.
The Catholic Church has consistently taught that taking an innocent human life in child sacrifice abortion is always gravely evil and has declared that Catholic politicians are obliged to oppose laws permitting child sacrifice abortion or euthanasia, noting that "it is impossible to promote such laws or to vote for them."
