Jasmine Crockett: ‘If I Go to Sleep, Democracy Very Well May Die’

Published

on

Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s Texas seat is being redistricted out of existence.

Her supporters will likely say that’s because she’s a “firebrand” who “speaks truth to power.”

I suppose in a world where “looksmaxxing” is not only a real word but a subculture, you can plausibly spin it that way, but only if by “firebrand” you mean “idiot” and “speaks truth to power” as “says something cretinous every time her mouth falls open.”

Because of the fact she’d almost certainly be too extreme for her redistricted seat, she’s running for Senate in Texas. Polls currently have her ahead in the Democratic field, which would almost certainly lead to her getting crushed by anyone the Republicans decided to nominate, up to and including cartoon characters.

(I can just see the election night returns: “NBC New-th can now project that, in the th-ate of of Texa-th, Daffy Duck — who-th nomination the Democrat-th called ‘a de-th-picable th-tunt’ — will beat Rep. Ja-th-mine Crockett by a wide margin…”)

In other words, in the American body politic, Jasmine Crockett should be profoundly unimportant — and at a macro level, she is. But at the micro level, she’s entertainment, particularly because she’s so profoundly convinced of her own importance that she comes across as a sitcom character come to life. (“Sitcomaxxing,” perhaps?)

Thus, in that vein, I give you the latest gem from Crockett: She’s not getting much rest because, and I quote, “If I go to sleep, democracy may very well die.”

The remark was made on the “Black Girls Politickin'” podcast on Friday — which, just to again emphasize how desperate Crockett is, only has a little under 500 subscribers after 23 videos as of early Saturday morning. (It seems to have accumulated more from this train wreck of an interview, as indeed the same way real-life train wrecks tend to have their own morbid fascination.)

Toward the end of the interview, published Friday, the host asked about her going into rural areas to campaign. It started out with Crockett referring to herself in the third person (“There are those that have a perception that Jasmine cannot go into rural areas because they refuse to actually learn about me”) and ended up with her saying that if she didn’t keep an exhaustive schedule with both campaigning for Senate and keeping up her grift in the House, well, our entire way of self-governance was at stake.

“So, I want to make sure that, like, no part of Texas feels left out, right?” Crockett said, in the part of the video that is likely to get the most scrutiny. “I also want to show up when I can.

“But I still have a full-time job that I was elected to do. And I am still showing up every single day at work while also trying to make sure that Texans know that I am serious about earning their support,” she continued.

“So I am ‘team no-sleep’ right now. But you know what? Democracy can’t wait. And, uh, if I go to sleep, democracy may very well die.”

This gets, as you may imagine, no better in fuller context:

One pictures Crockett imagining herself as Atlas, holding up the world all on her own, shrugging on occasion only to post quick clapbacks to Instagram and X.

Shockingly, this is somehow better than her initial reaction as to why she got into the race against state Rep. James Talarico, a favorite of the progressive wing already: “There was a reason that I entered the race, and it wasn’t because of James Talarico,” she said. “It was because of Jasmine Crockett.”

However, I think she was more honest the first time around, although neither reason — I got in it for me or If I sleep, literally, democracy’s gonna die, y’all — is particularly defensible. And yet, she still leads in the polls.

Your move, Daffy.

Trump NUKES Bill Maher – “Total Waste of Time for Me to Have This Jerk at The White House”

Published

President Trump on Saturday went off on late-night host Bill Maher, calling for Republicans to stop agreeing with him and giving him publicity on his more reasonable takes, following a skit last night where Maher attacked the President. 

Trump had attacked Canada and Prime Minister Mark Carney in a Truth Social post on Monday for taking advantage of the United States and moving to make a deal with China, which he said “will eat Canada alive.”

“The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup,” he said, urging Canada to negotiate with the United States instead of China.

“He went on and on about the Hockey statement, like ‘What kind of a person would say such a foolish thing as this,’ as though I were being serious when I said it,” Trump said of Bill Maher’s segment about the Truth Social post he “jokingly” made.

Trump further attacked Maher for frequenting “the same old story” on his Real Time show, which he described as “ery boring, ANTI TRUMP, no mention of the PERFECT Border, Lowest Crime in 125 years, the Mass Removal of Stone Cold Criminals, the 50,000 DOW, the 7,000 S&P (Both Highest Ever!), Least Number of Murders since 1900, Venezuela, “Midnight Hammer,” Soleimani DEAD, al-Baghdadi DEAD, Lowest Inflation in YEARS (1.2% for last three months!), the Rebuilding of our Military, Eight War Stoppages, and on, and on, and on!”

“In any event, it was a total waste of time for me to have this jerk at the White House,” Trump said, after revealing that Maher was extremely nervous, had ZERO confidence in himself and, to soothe his nerves, immediately, within seconds, asked for a ‘Vodka Tonic,'” when previously visiting the White House early last year.

“Fortunately, his Television Ratings are so low that nobody will learn about his various Fake News statements about me. He is no different than Kimmel, Fallon, or Colbert but, I must admit, slightly more talented! Anyway, Bill Maher is a highly overrated LIGHTWEIGHT, and Republicans should stop using him to show how the Left is coming over our way — Our Base, the Greatest of All Time, laughs at your weakness when you do it!”

“Bill continues to suffer from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS!), and there is nothing that will ever be done to cure him of this very serious disease,” Trump added.

Full statement below:

Sometimes in life you waste time! T.V. Host Bill Maher asked to have dinner with me through one of his friends, also a friend of mine, and I agreed. He came into the famed Oval Office much different than I thought he would be. He was extremely nervous, had ZERO confidence in himself and, to soothe his nerves, immediately, within seconds, asked for a “Vodka Tonic.” He said to me, “I’ve never felt like this before, I’m actually scared.” In one respect, it was somewhat endearing!

Anyway, we had a great dinner, it was quick, easy, and he seemed to be a nice guy and, for his first show after our dinner, he was very respectful about our meeting — But with everything I have done in bringing our Country back from “OBLIVION,” why wouldn’t he be? But then I noticed his show started to devolve into the same old story — Very boring, ANTI TRUMP, no mention of the PERFECT Border, Lowest Crime in 125 years, the Mass Removal of Stone Cold Criminals, the 50,000 DOW, the 7,000 S&P (Both Highest Ever!), Least Number of Murders since 1900, Venezuela, “Midnight Hammer,” Soleimani DEAD, al-Baghdadi DEAD, Lowest Inflation in YEARS (1.2% for last three months!), the Rebuilding of our Military, Eight War Stoppages, and on, and on, and on!

In any event, it was a total waste of time for me to have this jerk at the White House and last night, after explaining what a DISASTER Canadian “Leaders” are to deal with, how Canada has “ripped off” the United States for years on TRADE (But not anymore!), I jokingly stated in a TRUTH that, “The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.” Well, he went on and on about the Hockey statement, like “What kind of a person would say such a foolish thing as this,” as though I were being serious when I said it.

Fortunately, his Television Ratings are so low that nobody will learn about his various Fake News statements about me. He is no different than Kimmel, Fallon, or Colbert but, I must admit, slightly more talented! Anyway, Bill Maher is a highly overrated LIGHTWEIGHT, and Republicans should stop using him to show how the Left is coming over our way — Our Base, the Greatest of All Time, laughs at your weakness when you do it! Maher asked me if he could come back to the White House again and, with his friend, also asked to come to the wonderful White House Christmas Party, but he didn’t.

Regardless, I’d much rather spend my time MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN than wasting it on him. Bill continues to suffer from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS!), and there is nothing that will ever be done to cure him of this very serious disease. Thank you for your attention to this minor matter! President DJT

Dihan Rahman pleaded guilty possessing bomb-making materials last week. He was targeting the high school prom and plotting a massive Valentine’s Day massacre.

He pleaded guilty on the second day of his trial.

Rahman admitted possessing terrorist material, including guides on how to build bombs, after an investigation by Counter Terrorism Policing London.

Authorities also found violent Islamist material on his phone. According to Sky News, Dihan was the the administrator of a far-right social media group in the first known case of extremists finding “common ground” over their hatred of Jews. He posted one photo online of himself giving the Nazi salute.

Police also identified him as an “incel” defined as a member of an online community of young men who consider themselves unable to attract women sexually, typically associated with views that are hostile towards women and men who are sexually active.

WATCH: Bill O’Reilly Thoroughly Debunk the Frequently Cited ‘Only 14% of Illegals Are Violent’ Argument Leftists Use Against Deportation

Published

By

Longtime conservative talk show stalwart Bill O’Reilly just put to rest one of the left’s favorite talking points about illegal immigration – “Only 14 Percent of Illegals Are Violent.”

Daily Caller reporter Jason Cohen posted an exchange between O’Reilly and host of the “Sid and Friends in the Morning” show Sid Rosenberg to social media platform X Thursday where the two spoke about the work of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in getting dangerous criminals off the streets.

“How about the lies that the media continues to feed to the public about how many actual dangerous people ICE has put away?” Rosenberg asked.

“So, the Democratic Party is now using only 14 percent of ICE detainees are violent criminals. How many times have you heard that?”

“So, here’s the con,” O’Reilly said. “Drug dealing is not considered a violent crime. Child pornography, not considered.

“DUI, you run over someone in your car and the person’s dead, not considered a violent crime.

“Domestic abuse, not considered a violent crime. All theft, everything, not considered.” O’Reilly told the host who was almost in disbelief.

“The Democratic Party knows this. So, they put out a lie that ICE is rounding up poor hotel workers and farmers and then they use the 14 percent number, which is totally bogus to justify abolishing ICE. It doesn’t get more heinous. Now you have CNN doing this, you have the major liberal newspapers doing it. NBC News does it, Good Morning America does it.”

Assistant Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin backed up O’Reilly’s claim in response to a post made by CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss.

“Drug trafficking, Distribution of child pornography, burglary, fraud, DUI, embezzlement, solicitation of a minor, human smuggling are all categorized as ‘non violent crimes,'” she wrote.

CBS News put out the 14 percent figure Monday, stating this was the number of violent criminals out of 400,000 illegals arrests since President Donald Trump’s second term began.

The outlets breakdown of offenses is 10.9 percent for assault, 7.6 percent for DWI/DUI, 5.7 percent for dangerous drugs, 1.6 percent for weapons offenses, 1.4 percent for sexual assault, 1.3 percent for burglary, 0.7 percent for robbery, 0.5 percent for homicide, 0.3 percent for kidnapping, and 0.1 percent for arson.

If all of the above were classified as violent crime, the figure would total 29.47 percent.

Even if one were to remove offenses like burglary and robbery or even DWI/DUI, the figure still stands near 20 percent.

There is a separate category for “All other crimes” that makes up a whopping 30.1 percent.

CBS states its source for the 14 percent figure is an internal document from the DHS.

Whatever the case, ICE is not lying to the public. They are arresting people who deserve to be in prison and should be deported.

Democrats, however, seem keen to continue the narrative that ICE are the new Gestapo, scooping up innocent unassuming immigrants whose only crime is being in search of the American dream.
