Trump Keeps His Eye on the Ball, Rants About Ron DeSantis By Insinuating He’s Gay

March 21, 2023 by Bonchie Leave a Comment

The day that Donald Trump proclaimed he’d be arrested is upon us. Will he or won’t he be processed and taken into custody on a weak attempt to relitigate the Stormy Daniels payoff? All we can do is wait, and since there is no timeline for grand jury deliberations, that wait could drag on.

In the meantime, Trump is keeping his eye on the ball in the face of possible jail time. No, he’s not focusing like a laser beam on Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. He’s insinuating Ron DeSantis is gay.

I totally can’t believe why Ron DeSantis didn’t rush to Donald Trump’s aid. https://t.co/E00nm8RYHF

TRUMP: “Ron DeSanctimonious is dropping in the Polls so fast that he soon may be falling behind young Vivek Ramaswamy. […] Nothing good happens when you are a disciple of Super RINO Paul Ryan. Also, Florida did great long before DeSanctus came along…” pic.twitter.com/NiYjGiUXPe

Those are just two of the posts Trump put on on Desantis on Monday. His sons also spent the lion’s share of their time attacking a governor who doesn’t even have anything to do with what’s happening.

Are you ready for some brutal honesty that I’m willing to share with you because I actually care about the weaponization of government? Alright, here it goes: Donald Trump is less concerned about the possibility of his own indictment than you are.

That’s a problem, not because you can’t choose to prioritize the issue of your own volition, but because Trump and his team aren’t just demanding you fall in line to fight the weaponization of government when they aren’t willing to do so. They are also demanding you make him president in the process. That significantly ups the stakes, does it not?

But if Trump can’t be expected to be the adult in the room over his own arrest, then it’s fair to ask why you should be. Further, even if you choose to ignore Trump’s antics because you feel this is some bigger fight, why should you then elevate someone who can’t be counted on to focus and fight with you?

The question emanating from this isn’t hard to ascertain. Is Trump showing you that he has learned his lesson and can take on the deep state effectively in a second term? Or is he showing you he’s learned absolutely nothing and will continue to be distracted by the yearnings of his own ego?

Some keep asking for everyone in the GOP to come out strongly in support of Trump. According to them, we must drop everything and defend the former president. All the issues that actually affect our lives must be cast aside because his not-yet-decided indictment is the most important issue of our time.

Okay, let’s say that’s true. In that case, it really too much to ask for Trump himself to drop everything? He’s not doing that, though. Instead, Trump is still launching false smears on a guy who, despite having no reason to after the last several months of ridiculously false attacks, took his side and denounced the Soros-funded prosecutor in question. And what thanks did he get? He got some Truth Social posts suggesting he’s gay.

Here’s the thing. I actually agree this situation is bigger than Trump and should be taken seriously. Unfortunately, it is Trump who is refusing to join the rest of us in that singular fight.

There are limits to everything in life. If you push people far enough, you will lose their support regardless of whatever principle you seek to cite. For example, when it comes to some left-wing figures, I’ve long said I’m not going to defend them when the alligator starts taking its bites. Why? Because not only haven’t they earned my defense, but they have actively sought to alienate me in the process.

Trump is approaching that place with his squirrel-on-crack behavior. I’ve tried to take this seriously, to offer sound analysis, and to encourage people to speak against the possibility of an indictment. But if Trump is going to instead abuse that goodwill to try to nuke other Republicans, that tells me he’s not actually worried about an indictment. And if he’s not worried, you should start asking why he’s not worried and whether you should continue to rend your garments over something he himself refuses to take seriously.

All Hell Breaks Loose During Briefing After Karine Jean-Pierre Has Reporter Removed

March 20, 2023 by Bonchie Leave a Comment

Chaos broke out in the White House briefing room on Monday after Karine Jean-Pierre had a reporter removed from the room. The multi-minute exchange between the two eventually led to another reporter jumping in to defend Jean-Pierre.

Simon Ateba, Chief White House Correspondent for Today News Africa, began to shout at the press secretary because she refused to answer his questions. He also accused her of making a mockery of the First Amendment before being dragged out.

Complete chaos in the briefing room today. https://t.co/2W4trGj4eJ pic.twitter.com/vHmwvHYnTj

Jean-Pierre spends some of the clip laughing about the situation and trying to treat the reporter like a child. He isn’t having it and lights into her for only picking on certain reporters and refusing to answer basic inquiries.

That’s when professional Democrat simp, Brian Karem, jumped in to start berating Ateba for demanding transparency from the White House. Apparently, the press’ job isn’t to hold power to account, but it’s to take whatever scraps Jean-Pierre throws at them. Who knew?

The entire scene was an embarrassment. You would think the White Press Corps would stand up for freedom of speech and try to force the White House to be fair. Unfortunately, that outfit is run by far-left hacks, and while it played defender of the truth during the Trump administration, it’s now just another Democrat mouthpiece.

To make things even more pathetic, another reporter then spent his question time apologizing to Jean-Pierre and viewers at home for what had unfolded. I mean, really, imagine being that much of a lackey for state power, that you’d watch the press secretary throw a reporter out of the room and then apologize on “behalf of the press corps” to her and not your colleague who was just abused.

Compare that to the absolute outrage shown by the press corps, including Fox News, when CNN’s Jim Acosta had his credentials removed temporarily after he got physical with one of the staff members.

Things got dumber, though. Jean-Pierre then lectured the press corps about how unacceptable the blow-up was. She’s the one who won’t answer questions and had a reporter removed, but it’s everyone else’s fault.

It’s sad that this is what the American press has been reduced to. Instead of pushing the Biden administration to provide relevant information to the public, they mostly spend their time defending the lack of transparency. Was Ateba rude? Sure, but I also understand that he was fed up with the process and the favoritism being shown in the briefing room. In the end, he got his point across, and this is a bad look for a White House that already has serious credibility issues.

House Republicans Strike Back Against Manhattan DA Targeting Trump

March 20, 2023 by Bonchie Leave a Comment

With an indictment of Donald Trump looming in Manhattan, Republicans in the House of Representatives are looking for ways to strike back against the far-left district attorney pursuing the charge.

The grand jury in the case is set to meet on Monday, hearing testimony from “surprise witness” Robert Costello, who was a legal adviser for Michael Cohen and has also represented Rudy Giuliani. Cohen is then expected to provide counter-testimony before deliberations begin, leading to a vote on the indictment.

Because this is a state-level issue, the options that House Republicans have are limited, yet they are preparing to make moves according to Politico and Fox News.

1. In the short term, Republicans are discussing firing off letters summoning employees of the Manhattan DA’s office for sworn testimony, according to a GOP official familiar with the plans. The potential request comes amid speculation about why the hush-money case was suddenly resurrected after being back-burnered by both state and federal prosecutors.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plans are not final, noted that McCarthy, a longtime Trump ally and close friend, is “fully supportive and pushing folks to be aggressive here.”

2) Fox is told this could spark a standoff between Capitol Hill and the DA’s office. The problem in judicial circles is that the Bragg’s office could argue that the House panel is trying to interference in its prosecution.

— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) March 20, 2023

That would certainly be an escalation. How effective of one it would be is another matter. It feels a bit like getting called into the principal’s office after you’ve already graduated. Alvin Bragg, the DA in question, is a ruthless partisan, and he’s also not part of the federal government. The congressional oversight role is very limited, mainly to the point of threatening federal funding.

Even that is likely to fall flat, though, given Republicans do not control the levers of power necessary to follow through on any threat to cut funding.

With that said, the game here is likely not to do anything concrete (because again, they can’t). It’s more to shine a bright spotlight on Bragg, his history, and his current actions. Making him appear before Congress to answer questions would accomplish that and put pressure on the partisan prosecutor.

Republicans would be smart to use such an opportunity to dive into how Bragg gained his office. That includes a large amount of money he took from George Soros. There’s also plenty in his background to bring up that shows he’s got a deep-seated, hysterical bias toward Donald Trump.

Would that stop the pursuit of the indictment if it indeed drops this week? Likely not, but any pushback here is something, and House Republicans are showing voters that they won’t sit idly by. That’s a win for the party in the end. Sometimes there are no perfect solutions, but you take the ones you have.

Dick Durbin’s Programming Glitches During COVID-19 Announcement

March 20, 2023 by Bonchie Leave a Comment

Sen. Dick Durbin has COVID-19. How do I know? Because he announced it to the world on Sunday, proclaiming his thankfulness for the vaccines and boosters he has partaken in, to which he ascribes his “mild symptoms.”

It was your standard left-wing political pronouncement about being infected, one we’ve seen countless times over the last several years. But in this case, we hadn’t just seen something like this before. We had seen this exact thing before.

Apparently, Durbin’s AI programming glitched out.

Check the dates… pic.twitter.com/zDUE2bgYHG

— Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) March 20, 2023

Apparently, those booster regimes work so well that Durbin got COVID twice in a little over half a year. And while the two posts are nearly identical, he does make a few changes.

For example, in the new one, he’s just “boosted” instead of “double boosted,” likely because he’s been shot up with multiple more doses in the elapsing time between the two posts. He also said he’ll quarantine in the original one, but the new one cuts that part out. I guess the virus stopped being contagious or something.

Does it strike no one else as odd that these quintuple-boosted people continue to get COVID-19 over and over? I’ve gotten the virus exactly once, way back in December of 2020. I’ve gotten sick a few times since then but haven’t tested positive again.

Why, it’s almost like natural immunity, which essentially every American garnered during the omicron wave, is durable and effective, making the continued touting of the shots pointless. Oh wait, that’s exactly what the science shows (see Landmark Study Vindicates Everyone Who Touted Natural Immunity to COVID-19).

But I digress, you have to love the “I’m only experiencing mild symptoms” brag these posts always contain. Apparently, no one else in history has ever had a mild case of COVID-19 except those who look like an acupuncture patient from all the jabs they’ve received. Who knew? I guess that mild case of COVID-19 I had before the vaccines were even readily available was a figment of my imagination.

That’s not to say that the original vaccine didn’t lower death rates among certain groups (namely the obese and elderly). I’m of the mind that it served a purpose in that time period, but we are well into 2023 now. Natural immunity is a thing that is proven to be effective, and continuing to insinuate that one must be jabbed and boosted to experience a mild case of COVID-19 is ridiculously dishonest. It’s also an assumption that can’t actually be proven. No one, including Durbin, actually knows if he would have had a mild case regardless.

What I do know is that if you are at the point of copying and pasting your COVID-19 infection announcements because you keep getting the virus despite getting every shot available, maybe just don’t. It only makes you look silly and unserious. It’s not convincing anyone to go get the vaccine. If anything, it’s having the opposite effect. Better to keep it to yourself, battle out your mild cold, and act like you’ve been there before because, well, you have.
