Weird, huh? After ten-plus years of calling Trump a Nazi (and Elon Musk… and Steve Bannon… and JD Vance…. and pretty much every non-Democrat), Democrats now have a senate candidate with a literal Nazi tattoo on his chest!
I mean… who would’ve thought that someone who hated Israel and vilified “Jewish money” would ALSO be a Nazi? What are the odds?
Narrator’s Voice Over: “The odds were actually quite good.”
Oh, well. If Platner ever needs to rehab his image, there are quite a few podcasts that’d love to host him. Beginning with Tucker Carlson, who’s “just asking questions.”
Did you notice the three members of Congress wearing swastikas during President Biden’s State of the Union address early in March? They adorned U.S. Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Cori Bush (D-Mo.) and Summer Lee (D-Pa.), of the Democratic Party’s progressive squad, now up to eight sworn members.
They sported not the hooked cross symbol of Nazism, but rather its contemporary equivalent, the keffiyeh. The traditional Arab head-covering is de rigueur among friends of Hamas. One sees them everywhere in the West, from London streets to American college campuses, and now in the U.S. Capitol.
In nations on the winning side of World War II, the swastika as an emblem of Adolf Hitler’s imagined Jew-free Thousand Year Reich remains a bit déclassé. The keffiyeh, however, provides a wonderful work-around for adherents of re-ghettoized diaspora Jewry and a Jew-free Middle East.
But in addition to the keffiyeh-wearing congresspeople, there’s quite a rogues’ gallery in the Mos Eisley Cantina these days:
Democrats have quite a menu of candidates to choose from. A Nazi in Maine A communist in NY A Navy cheater in NJ A guy who wants to murder children in Virginia. pic.twitter.com/2MTj2djwZv
When Vice President Harris referred to president Trump as a fascist and I knew absolutely we lost the plot at that point. If you call the president or somebody like a fascist you are effectively calling the people that are going to vote for them they must be fascist as well, excuse me they support fascism and those things and that is just not true that is not it.
I happen to know and love a lot of people that voted for the president and they are not fascist, they are not Nazis, trying to destroy the Constitution all those things, they just have different priorities and they love our country in the same ways that Democrats do as well.
Kamala calling Trump a fascist concurrently with her campaign aggressively seeking endorsements from Republicans her party had previously screamed the F-word at was one of the great moments of cognitive dissonance in American politics.
Fetterman’s admission is in accordance with the prophecy:
NBA COACH, PLAYER ARRESTED IN DOJ SPORTS-BETTING PROBES: “For decades, professional sports leagues created firewalls to protect the integrity of their games from the corrosive nature of gambling. Starting several years ago, the leagues started linking arms with bettors and gambling platforms. especially on line. The money began rolling in to their coffers, but at what cost? The NBA may be discovering it this morning. Feds arrested the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers and the Miami Heat’s point guard in unrelated investigations into gambling and corruption. And it may not end with these two, either.”
The core complaint in Independent is that apart from a “brief reprieve” in 2020, when the summer of Floyd saw “literature such as White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo gaining in popularity,” America has shown itself to be simply too backward to recognize the essential superiority of candidates like Harris. Even so, Jean-Pierre insists, Democrats could have done more to help. “When critics said Harris didn’t know anything about foreign policy,” she wrote, “Democrats should have emphasized how she’d worked closely with our partners in Asia as well as African nations like Ghana, Zambia, and Tanzania.”
Democrats could have spent $100 billion a second on ads emphasizing Kamala’s cooperation with Zambia and Tanzania, and they wouldn’t have been able to compete with videos like the one below:
Jean-Pierre’s thesis is also just wrong. Trump was far from a juggernaut. He left office in 2021 with a 62% disapproval rating and trailed Captain Dodderpants for virtually all of 2022 and 2023. If Harris had been a good or even a middling candidate, she easily could have won. However, she was handcuffed both by her own peculiarities and the huge Gobstopper-sized zit in the middle of the Democratic Party’s forehead, which grew out of years of denials that the chief executive was a vegetable. Videos featuring Jean-Pierre figured heavily in the growth of that Gobstopper.
She raged at reporters, not even conservatives, for asking rational questions. The scene below took place in July last year, in the wake of a post-debate New York Times report that Biden saw a neurologist. Jean-Pierre had been caught not telling the truth about this, and when correspondents like AP’s Zeke Miller and Ed O’Keefe of CBS pushed her, she flipped out. Her evasions were comical, implying Presidents might have casual contact with a physician more easily than a layperson because the doctor is just down the hall as opposed to a “public transportation” ride away, while acting like reporters were being unreasonable in not accepting that a “verbal check-in” with a neurologist specializing in Parkinson’s Disease is different from a “medical exam.” Watch how calm and accommodating Miller in particular is (he’s the first reporter in the video), yet Jean-Pierre eventually rips even him for “not okay” questioning:
[Video at Link – Ed]
Jean-Pierre had over a year to think about what to say about all this, and instead of writing the book the whole world wanted, the true story (complete with photos of Biden’s used-bib collection and pictorial toilet guides) of her frustration at having to be the public face of one of the most obvious and legally perilous cons in American political history, she denied there was anything to cover up, much less that she had responsibility for it. Then she announced she was “fed up” with a country too racist to accept a cabbage-president, before offering her prescription for success in politics. “People,” she wrote unironically, “want authenticity.”
For sure, there are seriously goofy Trump administration characters. There continues however to be a massive underappreciation for the number of true lunatics escaped from the just-completed Biden period. The whole issue of Biden’s competence is under investigation and may eventually become a criminal matter, making it even more amazing that someone like Jean-Pierre would write a memoir at all, much less one this detached from reality. Is politics just a jobs program for crazy people? I don’t know how to read this book and conclude anything else.
In July 2024, Clooney penned a guest essay for the New York Times in which he described seeing an ailing Biden in the run-up to the election.
‘When I woke up, the piece was there, splayed across the pages of The New York Times. The headline? “George Clooney: I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee,” Jean-Pierre wrote in in her book, Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines.
‘I read it in disbelief.’
Which means that KJP is actually angry with Obama, who was desperately looking to secure a fourth term in the White House: “A political mole told RadarOnline.com it was Obama who urged Clooney to call for Biden – his own vice president – to end his sputtering campaign, fearing the fallout if he did it himself.”
KJP’s book may be titled Independent, but she’s not going to risk burning any bridges with her party’s biggest grandees.
Platner claims to have gotten the Nazi tattoo during a drunken night out in Croatia in 2007. The embattled candidate said he only recently became aware of the Nazi affiliation. In an effort to preempt a story being shopped by his Democratic primary opponents, Platner went on Pod Save America and denied being a “secret” Nazi. He did not deny being an overt Nazi, raising further questions about his support for genocide.
Genevieve McDonald, who resigned as Platner’s campaign manager last week in response to unearthed Reddit posts in which the candidate disparaged black people, rural Americans, police officers, and rape victims, suggested Platner was lying about being unaware of the tattoo’s significance. “Graham has an anti-Semitic tattoo on his chest,” she wrote. “He’s not an idiot, he’s a military history buff … he knows damn well what it means.” Another former associate of Platner’s told Jewish Insider the candidate proudly referred to the tattoo as “my Totenkopf.”
An extensive Free Beacon analysis determined that Platner’s attempt to cover up the anti-Semitic tattoo was also riddled with Nazi symbolism. A close reading of the poorly drawn obese wolf creature suggests the new tattoo is most likely a reference to Blondi, the German Shepherd who accompanied Adolf Hitler to his Führerbunker in 1945. Most glaringly, the animal’s arms and legs are positioned to resemble two halves of a swastika. The less said about the tattoo’s proximity to Platner’s nipple, the better.
Heh, indeed. Theodore Dalrymple once warned that the tattoo parlor is “the refutation of the doctrine that the customer is always the right. In the tattoo parlor, the customer is always wrong.” That’s especially true with both Platner’s original tat and its replacement:
"What'll it be today?"
"I need a coverup for this Nazi Totenkopf tattoo."
"I can see why. Anything in mind?"
"How about a badass wolf? I like badass wolfpacks and whatnot."
It took less than a week for Democrats to go from “we should ruin those kids’ lives for making Hitler jokes in a group chat” to “we should make that guy with Nazi tattoos a U.S. Senator.”
And it only took ten months to go from socialist gnostics seeing a Hitler salute from Elon Musk to, “eh, so the big lug’s got a Totenkopf tattooed on his chest. No big whoop, right?”
Krystal Ball smeared Elon Musk over an innocent hand gesture earlier this year but now has no problem when a leftist has a full blown Nazi SS tattoo

Democrat politicians and their operatives with bylines have worked for years to whip their base into a perpetual frenzy. Given the (literal) bloodlust of the Dems’ base in recent years, I can’t say I blame the politicians for fearing the monster they’ve created. But will they do anything to dial temperatures back?
Now it can be told: Chuck Schumer had to eat that raw burger to save Mother Earth.
According to a research paper in Nature, the Bluer the region you live in, the more impact your meat-eating has on Carbon Dioxide levels.
More than 11 million tonnes of meat is consumed in cities in the USA every year, says analysis in @NatureClimate. However, these emissions can be reduced by up to 51% through measures such as reducing food waste and shifting diets from beef to poultry: https://t.co/V04Y5JrEQb
Therefore, it follows that while eating beef is bad enough for Gaia, cooking it would make it even worse. Right?
The obsession with the climate impact of cows is something to behold. It is second only to the elite’s fascination with the moral exhortations of Greta Thunberg back when she worried about climate instead of the fate of terrorists.
Please run on banning burgers, leftists, as you find yourselves on the 20% side of yet another 80/20 issue.
I can’t think of a group of people more in need of mockery than the puritanical, uptight, overly serious Left. That so many are afraid to make fun of them tells you everything about what they have become. Saturday Night Live couldn’t even bring itself to make fun of the viral Katie Porter videos. They pivoted to the old standby of making fun of the Republicans. Yawn.
There’s a line in The Silence of the Lambs when Hannibal Lecter says, “Oh, Clarice. Your problem is you need to get more fun out of life.”
Sorry, Democrats. It’s time to face the truth: Trump is funny. He’s not a normal president and never will be. But the alternative on offer is an America without humor — a dreary and depressing dystopia that has hollowed out culture and made us all hate each other. At the very least, with Trump, we can laugh.
Which certainly beats the alternative that the left have proffered for at least a decade:
JEN PSAKI: The four times indicted Republican frontrunner is continuing to echo the language of Adolf Hitler and brag about compliments from Vladimir Putin. So that’s pretty much where we are right now. Donald Trump said all of that in New Hampshire just over the weekend, where Governor Chris Sununu just endorsed Nikki Haley…
But we do want to start tonight with what I hope will be a bit of a sober reminder of where the American electorate sits right now. It’s important for everyone to hear.
So this weekend, Trump once again echoed dictators, praised autocrats, repeated racist language, and was still cheered on by arenas packed with people who will cast their ballots in just over one month!
—Mediaite, December 19th, 2023.
How it’s going:
.@jrpsaki suggests JD Vance is “scarier” and more dangerous than Donald Trump, and that Usha Vance needs to be saved from her marriage: “Blink four times. Come over here. We’ll save you.”
Last November, Dennis Prager noted: Calling Trump ‘Hitler’ Has Done Permanent Damage to the Moral Realm. “The abuse of language is a fundamental characteristic of the Left. Leftists have done this not only to ‘Hitler,’ ‘Nazi’ and ‘fascist’ but to ‘genocide,’ ‘apartheid,’ ‘racist’ and virtually every other term connoting evil. It started with Stalin calling Trotsky a fascist and it continues to this day.”
Karine Jean-Pierre stopped by “The View” on Tuesday and, when asked if Democrats are currently “meeting the moment,” her answer was blunt: “absolutely not.” According to the former White House press secretary, they need to step up more and actually be the “opposition party” to President Trump.
During her conversation with the ABC hosts, Jean-Pierre had a whole list of things the Democratic Party could and should be doing better, and at the top of it was not acting like Trump is a typical president. According to Jean-Pierre, Democrats need to remember that they actually have power in government.
“I think, right now, the Democratic party should be acting as the opposition party,” she said. “These are unprecedented times. We should not be acting, or they should not be acting as business as usual. And we need to see some fight, some teeth, some vigor, some strategy. That’s what I’ve been hearing from people since I left the administration.”
Jean-Pierre then pointed to the weekend’s No Kings protests as a key example of what politicians should be doing, and applauded the turnout of 7 million people nationwide.
“Where’s the Democratic party in doing the same and peaceful protesting?” she said. “Why are there not more lawsuits from the Democratic party? They need to take action on behalf of the American people, the people who are fearful. And it’s not throwing us under the bus!”
As Megyn Kelly points out, does KJP think that the “No Kings” protests weren’t a Democratic Party production?
KJP stopped by the friendly confines of MSNBC Tuesday morning for a sit down with the Morning Joe crew. Now, keep in mind that the name of her book is Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House. So, how do you square this answer from the former Biden White House press secretary to a perfectly reasonable question from Jonathan Lemire?
LEMIRE: Here in the subhead is ‘a broken White House”… and if it’s not questions about his health, what made it a broken White House?
JEAN-PIERRE: So, the ‘broken White House’ is about this current moment… I talk about the story of– my personal side of the story of what happened and what I saw as White House press secretary. I think I can speak to it more in a different way, more personally even, than most people–
LEMIRE: So, tell us what you saw day in and day out.
JEAN-PIERRE: And so the ‘broken White House’ is the White House that is currently in– obviously has the administration, the Trump administration, and what I’m seeing.
She now wants us to believe that when she refers to a “broken White House,” she is talking about the Trump White House, even though the subtitle of the book is “an inside look” at it? Since when is she inside the Trump White House?
Colbert found himself at odds with former Biden Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre when she trashed the Democrat Party on Monday and said she never saw any indication of Joe Biden’s mental decline.
Colbert was argumentative with the former press secretary when she insisted she didn’t see Biden decline during her tenure in his administration and he pushed back, saying that Biden’s performance at the single presidential debate against Donald Trump was very concerning.
“No one is saying that he didn’t age,” Jean-Pierre exclaimed. “I’m talking about did he have… the mental acuity, was he able to govern? And the man that I saw nearly every day was someone who was engaging, understood policy, and was always putting the American people first.”
But Colbert was not convinced by Jean-Pierre’s claim that Biden was just fine.
“It was very personal for those of us who watched [the debate] too, because it was a shock to our system to see that. Because — I mean, you’re talking to a guy who helped raise $25 million for Joe Biden in March of that same year,” he told Jean-Pierre. “And three months later, I saw a guy who I had not seen backstage at the benefit that I did. It seemed like a dramatically different person. And at 81 years old, that’s not entirely unexpected. You can imagine why people got so worried.
“I don’t think anybody questioned his heart or his policies. But it takes more than that to be the President of the United States,” Colbert added. “And in a moment of great pressure on stage, we saw someone shock us and worry us, and nothing could assuage that worry. So I don’t think it was necessarily a betrayal of Joe Biden as other people saying, ‘We don’t think we were shown the Joe Biden that you saw.’”
Jean-Pierre insisted that the criticisms of Biden and the demands that he step down were a “really ugly assault on someone who had 50-plus years of experience and who, again, objectively had done a good job as President of the United States.”
Kelly believes, “She’s clearly auditioning for a role on The View. She desperately wants it, because that is about her IQ class, but and she accurately predicts she won’t be be getting hired anywhere else.”
Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner fended off allegations he harbors racist views after a video revealed what appears to be a Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest.
Why it matters: Platner drew the backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as an anti-establishment outsider, but his campaign is already trying to clean up recently resurfaced Reddit posts where he espoused offensive views about Black people and sexual assault victims.
Platner’s campaign shared video with Pod Save America of him singing shirtless that exposed a skull tattoo on his chest that resembles the “Totenkopf,” a symbol used by Hitler’s Schutzstaffel (SS).
The move was intended to get ahead of opposition research, and the GOP’s Senate campaign arm seized on the images, accusing Platner of having a “Nazi tattoo.”
Driving the news: Platner said in an interview with Tommy Vietor of Pod Save America that was released on Monday that the video was from his brother’s wedding, where he lip-synced Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball.”
“I am not a secret Nazi,” Platner told Vietor, adding that he got the tattoo in Croatia while deployed and was “very inebriated.” Platner said he and his fellow Marines chose “a terrifying looking skull and crossbones.”
As Jim Geraghty quips, “‘I just wish that at the tattoo parlor, Platner had asked a friend, ‘are we the baddies?’ Platner has declared, ‘I am not a secret Nazi.’ (Some might argue that when you’ve got an SS symbol tattooed on your arm, there’s not much secret about it.)”
UPDATE:
Platner is getting a pass because of his politics, not his gender.
We know this because many women got a pass for cheering on political murder. See Omar, Ilhan.
People pretend otherwise because they need to distract from what it says about their co-partisans. https://t.co/74fQ8WrzcX
From her berth in the Navy Yard, Sequoia was a beauty gracing the Washington landscape. She was smaller but no less august than the Lincoln or Jefferson memorials. She sat low and graceful in the water, the slender 104-foot porcelain hull contrasting starkly against the gray-green Potomac. Her decks were a patchwork of honeyed teak and varnished mahogany. It was said that the warm wood seemed to hold the afternoon sun inside it. She was not a large ship, but a dignified one. Her bow lines swept forward with a muted authority, and the gentle rake of her stern lent her a graceful poise. Her mere presence was a statement and representation of the skill and master craftsmanship of American shipbuilders.
Below the deck, twin six-cylinder Winston diesel engines hummed Sequoia along the Potomac at about twelve knots. She was not built for speed, but rather conversation and reflection. She was where Truman played poker, Kennedy celebrated his birthday, and where Nixon brooded over her wooden gunwales. It was an antiquated presidential command post, tidy and ceremonial. Her history bears repeating, as history so often does. She was where Roosevelt plotted naval strategy, Eisenhower received foreign guests, and Johnson built domestic coalitions. I make melancholy references to the Sequoia in the past tense, as she no longer serves the public in such a splendid manner, but there are hopeful plans and some resources available for her restoration as a museum ship.
It was, unsurprisingly, Jimmy Carter who killed the Sequoia. His Christian humility, which mandated a less ostentatious presidency, did her in. It was not a vile or sinister decision by Carter, but rather a simple mistake. He perhaps overestimated the public’s hunger for grand, but ultimately empty, populist gestures. Voters, with much bigger fish to fry, ended Carter’s presidency after one term.
It was a sad end to a noble vessel. The Congressional Record later reflected, “the Sequoia was the setting for Presidential meetings, negotiations and decisions of extraordinary significance and effect on the history of the United States and the course of world events,” and noted that “many Americans have visited the Sequoia and demonstrated support for her preservation and return to service.”
If anybody can resurrect the Sequoia, it’s Trump. But do we really want to see him morph from Al Czervik to Judge Elihu Smails?
Kohler, best known for its plumbing products including toilets and faucets, is entering the photography game with a camera that goes inside a toilet and analyzes photos of people’s stool.
Kohler describes its new Dekoda toilet camera, as reported by CNET, as a “first-of-its-kind health tracker” that analyzes gut health, hydration, and whether there is blood in a person’s stool. Gut health and hydration are generally practical ways to measure a person’s overall health and inform potential lifestyle changes, but blood can signal a much more serious underlying health issue, and people are generally advised to pay close attention to their bowel movements.
Cameras and imaging technology have grown increasingly important in healthcare. Scientists are developing thermal cameras that may become part of routine checkups, companies combine photos and AI to identify a pet’s health problems, and patients have been swallowing pill-sized cameras to help doctors diagnose internal maladies for years. Rather than look inside someone’s digestive system, though, Kohler’s new camera looks at the output.
On the menu today: You know that a whole bunch of mainstream media institutions were just itching to offer some version of . . .
Page A1: Donald Trump Destroys White House (Continued on page A6)
Page A6: Wall as Part of Ballroom Construction Project
The demolition to prepare for the new ballroom facility on the White House grounds is underway, and a lot of people in Washington aren’t happy about it, and contend President Trump has rushed through the usual review and approval process in order to bring a little of that Mar-a-Lago style to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Read on.
* * * * * * * *
While the exterior of the White House looks largely unchanged from the first photograph taken of it in 1846, the interior has been completely gutted and rebuilt. I wonder how many Americans are even aware of the large-scale renovations conducted during the presidency of Harry S. Truman. Historian Michael Beschloss wrote:
Except for the four exterior walls, today’s presidential residence is almost entirely a 1952 imitation of the original.
In 1947, the White House was in danger of internal physical collapse. One day, while President Harry S. Truman took a bath upstairs, a great Blue Room chandelier threatened to crash down on his wife, Bess, and her guests from the Daughters of the American Revolution. The president later joked that he might have unexpectedly dropped through the ceiling naked on the ladies below, and he confessed that the incident made him nervous.
The upstairs floor, he noted, “sagged and moved like a ship at sea.”
Upon investigating the situation, Truman was told that hasty renovations, demanded by various impatient presidents in the past, had led to the weakening or removal of load-bearing walls and other supporting structures. Beams were “staying up from force of habit only,” he was informed, and the mansion had become a firetrap. Truman later wrote that with so many thousands of visitors and presidential guests, “My heart trembles when I think of the disasters we might have had.”
The following year, his daughter Margaret’s piano broke through the floor of the family quarters. In August, Truman recorded in his diary that with his wife away, he had been “moved into the Lincoln Room — for safety — imagine that!” He wrote to his sister that the White House was “about to fall in.” That November, after the president won a full term over Thomas E. Dewey, the first family was whisked across Pennsylvania Avenue to reside in the presidential guest quarters called Blair House.
When I read about pianos crashing through the floor of the White House, I wonder how any teacher can make history sound boring.
Respectful previous occupants of the White House thoughtfully weigh in on Trump’s modifications:
Yes, between selling nights in the Lincoln bedroom to donors and her husband’s tutelage of the interns in the Oval Office, if anyone treated the WH as sacred it was the Clintons. https://t.co/h3vcDISVv0
Imagine if Trump installed a swimming pool there in 2025:
I mentioned that FDR built a swimming pool in the White House basement and imagine if Trump had done that, and THIS brilliant post popped out as a result. https://t.co/e9BaXcCasp
I didn’t know this person in the video to follow was an actor. I judged her solely on all the other tells; her designer keffiyeh (looks silk?), her refined Irish accent, her jewels and fancy watch, the self-importance it took her to appear on a podcast and start preaching about something she admits she doesn’t even understand. All these things tell me she belongs to the community of the righteous aka the reality-divorced gentrified city-dwellers who have never held down proper jobs and glean all of their purpose from performing intellect. You’ll love this:
So this is Denise Gough. She’s an actor, who IMdb tells me stars in a Star Wars spin-off series named Andor. Therefore it’s concerning that my understanding of the Death Star is better than hers. As the preamble goes: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… “Free Palestine” is the QAnon of the Left, and everyone who supports it is doing some version of this word gumbo. It all points in the same direction. There’s a utopia but it only exists once the Jews are blasted into space. Notice the way she says “Palestine”, with marvel in her voice. Palestine signifies so much to her, bless her. Nothing to do with actual Palestinians, no. Talk about colonial mindsets. No, to Denise, Palestine is heaven, Palestine is the answer. Wait actually, Palestine is destiny.
It’s funny this holistic view of Palestine, because it’s accurate, from the point of view that it does not exist. Palestine is as fictional as Darth Vader himself, and people who are struggling with reality often turn to make-believe to cope with it. For these Western luvvies, Palestine is therapy. It’s their crutch to deal with the ensuing societal breakdown happening left, right and center. “Oh if only we could free Palestine!” they scream. These dolts think they hate religion but what they preach is deeply Messianic.
Exit quote: “Perhaps some of you may know that the word Islam translates in English to ‘surrender’ or ‘submission’. The word ‘Islamophobia’ is a device that appears to police prejudice but is — in fact — suppressing criticism of this extremism. It is not the same as – say – describing an act of racism against Muslims, ie, an intentional attack on a mosque. Christopher Hitchens warned us in 2009. He warned us not to surrender, and he also predicted that it would be the Christian and Jewish leaders who would fall foul and ‘hold open the gates’. Since the Manchester Jihad attack, the UK Board of Deputies have invited an Imam to their interfaith plenary. The fools should watch this:”
Those in or passing through Fairhope on Saturday may have witnessed a bizarre sight: a person dressed in a giant inflatable phallic costume being apprehended by local authorities.
In a video that spread on social media over the weekend, three officers from the Fairhope Police Department arrested and restrained a person attending a No Kings protest dressed in a costume shaped like male anatomy as others in attendance recorded the incident on their phones.
The person arrested was identified as Jeana Renea Gamble, a 61-year-old Fairhope resident, according to Lt. Shane Nolte with the police department. Other outlets have also reported her name as Reana Gamble Fletcher. On the social media app Threads, a user identifying herself as Gamble criticized local officials and their conduct. She previously posted a picture of her wearing the costume and carrying a sign that read “No Dick-tator.”
No Kings protests, also known internationally as No Dictators or No Tyrants protests, is a series of demonstrations, largely in the United States, against what the organizers describe as authoritarian policies of President Donald Trump and corruption in his administration.
Following the incident, Gamble said officers initially told her she was being arrested for “lewd and lascivious behavior.” A statement released by the Fairhope Police Department on Monday said she has been charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, both misdemeanors.
Why can’t she just wear a pussyhat, like normal well-adjusted middle-aged leftist women?
The party has learned nothing after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, instead opting to continue the fascist/Nazi rhetoric, which has resulted in some protesters openly cheering Kirk’s death and even mocking it.
“Charlie Kirk is a piece of garbage,” one female protester told the Daily Signal in Washington on Saturday. “Hitler is dead. I’m glad Hitler’s dead. Evil people have no place in my world. He was a hateful human being. It was disgusting the things he said and did.”
And what was disgusting was that a Chicago elementary school teacher, Lucy Martinez, simulated Kirk getting shot in the neck in a video that has now been viewed millions of times.
“Let’s go to when [Trump] shoots himself in the bunker,” read another No Kings sign in reference to Hitler taking his own life as Allied troops were closing in on his bunker in Berlin at the end of World War II. “You gotta grab a gun, we gotta turn around the guns on this fascist system. These ICE agents gotta get shot and wiped out. The same machinery that’s on full display right there has to get wiped out,” shouted an unidentified speaker at a No Kings rally in Chicago.
And in Portland, one woman shared that she hoped to see “the obituary that we’re all waiting for tomorrow,” and confirmed to a reporter she was speaking about Trump.
So what were these protests really about? What was the goal? That’s about as clear as mud, because the whole theme of No Kings, as if we live in a country ruled by one, makes zero sense.
Trump was duly elected. In the Electoral College, it wasn’t even close over Kamala Harris (312-226). He won the popular vote as well. He can’t run for a third term. And if Trump were actually a king, protests would not be permitted.
We’re hearing that these protests will hurt Trump, but his numbers keep going up during a government shutdown that Democrats are responsible for. TheRealClearPolitics average of polls has him at 45.4% approval, which is higher than Obama’s at this stage of his second term (43.7%) and George W. Bush’s (39.7%). Compare that with the Democratic Party, which stands at just 34.7% approval.
Popular podcaster host Joe Rogan, a former supporter of Bernie Sanders, summed up the makeup of the people who attended No Kings protests.
“All those people that are protesting on the streets, 99% of them are losers,” Rogan said. “The other ones work for the Fed. It’s FBI agents and losers, it’s all it is. The whole f***ing protest is FBI agents and losers.”
As Savanah Hernandez told Fox News’ Jessie Watters, “there were two different factions of protesters. We had the one faction who had no idea why they were there, no idea why they were protesting. They were simply programmed by CNN or whatever liberal mainstream media they’d been listening to, and they were there. You had the other faction of protesters who were there to call for political violence against their opposition.”
On the plus side, regarding the former group, a lot of elderly boomers got plenty of fresh air, sunshine, and aerobic dancing over the weekend. As Scott Jennings reminds his fellow CNN panelists, “you guys spend your time however you want. It’s a free country. Not a monarchy.”
Finney: Are you saying the people protesting at No Kings were wasting their time??@ScottJenningsKY: I don’t really care whether they do it or not. Listen, you guys spend your time however you want. It’s a free country. Not a monarchy.
