Delingpole: A Few Things We Could Happily Live Without in 2020…
Who better than James Delingpole at Breitbart to ring in the New Year
with a different twist and a healthy dose of political incorrectness:
Happy New Year! Here’s a few things
the public sphere could probably survive without by this time in 2020…
Greta Thunberg. Every time you thought that the cult of St
Greta could not get any more insane, reality said: “Hold my beer.” After being
feted across the world by everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger to the Pope,
hailed by Canadian novelist Margaret
Atwood as the new Joan of Arc, St Greta achieved full apotheosis at
year-end when a Swedish pastor described her as the successor of
‘Jesus of Nazareth’.
How sad it will be in 2020 when the
world wakes up to the fact that this teenage school drop-out is nothing but
a puppet for green crony capitalists in her native
Sweden, who have choreographed every stage of her progression from ‘lonely
schoolgirl protesting against climate inaction’ to Nobel-Prize-nominated
superstar. No one likes being taken for a fool – and Greta the Puppet has
fooled almost everyone.
Mr. Delingpole’s other please-go-away nominees:
- Princess Meghan (I’m sorry America, but you’re going to have to take Meghan Markle back.) . . .
- Never Trumpers
- . . .
- Bat-chomping, bird-slicing eco-crucifixes
- . . .
- Excuses for Muslim terrorism
- Sir Elton John
- George Soros
- Care Bear Commies (Expensively educated kids from the most prosperous generation in history confidently assuring us that ‘the only problem with communism is that it has never been tried properly yet.’) . . .
. . . and more. . .

And Happy New Year!

The menorah and “lights” in 2019
image credit: www:turbosquid.com
Tea Party readers who are not Jewish may not know the
symbolism of the menorah. Rabbi Michael Barclay published a thoughtful article
about “The Most Powerful Moments of Light in 2019” – one of many retrospectives
on the year 2019, and he starts off:
On Hannukah, we are commanded to
light a Hannukah menorah (a 9-branched candelabra [sometimes with 7-branches) and place it in our windows
as a symbol of our willingness to combat evil…with each candle enlightening the
dark in the world. In 2019, there has been a lot of darkness, but there have
also been “candles” in the dark that have brought more light into all of our
worlds. In honor of Hannukah (and the light of Christmas as well) it is good to
remember some of these candles that have brought more light into this past
year.
The menorah has eight specific
candles and a “shamash," an all-important “helper" candle that lights
each of the other lights. Below, in no particular order, are some of the
powerful moments of light of 2019
- There can be no doubt that the shamash of 2019 has been President Trump. Without the shamash helper, none of the candles could be lit. It is the spark from which each candle comes. His actions have sparked lights around the world to combat the evil and darkness of “the swamp" that has been enveloping the nation over the last number of years. Despite the many efforts to snuff out this candle, his persistence and willingness to fight the darkness has demonstrated what dedication really means.
Eight other candles of light in the
darkness of 2019, in no particular order, include [and please click here to
read his explanations as to why these “lights” have been chosen]
- Prager University's fight for freedom of speech.
- The executive order regarding Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
- The election of Boris Johnson.
- Congressmen Nunes, Collins, Jordan, Stefanik, and the rest of the Republican members of the House Committees on Intelligence and Justice.
- Joe Biden.
- Kanye West.
- Father Robert Morey.
- The American people.
. . .
May each of us celebrate Hannukah,
Christmas, and all holidays of light in a way that allows the glow of our souls
to enlighten the world…creating true peace and joy.

President Trump signed bad spending bills

Just before Christmas, The Swamp Creatures passed more
gazillion dollar spending bills and then left town. And unfortunately,
President Trump signed them. Roll Call has the details here.
Here are related tweets via Tucker Carlson and his guest Ned
Ryun:
Tucker Carlson & @NedRyun Slamming America Last Spending
Bill Passed by the Swamp Before Christmas
Ned Ryun: "We elected @realdonaldtrump to veto these
things, not to sign them. It's immoral to continue using the American taxpayer
as an ATM for the ruling class."
Agree. It is the
first major black mark, IMHO, on President Trump’s report card. In addition, some amnesty
provisions were included in some of these
spending bills. See here and here.

Beware: Bogus fund-raising for Trump campaign
Groups with no affiliation to
President Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign are siphoning off funds
from Trump supporters under the impression that the groups are using donations
to support the president.
An examination by Politico found that dark money groups,
pro-Trump PACs, and Facebook advertisers copy Trump’s brand to dupe Trump supporters into donating to them. But the groups
spend very little of these funds to actually support Trump, Politico reports.
The groups use Trump’s voice in
robocalls asking for “an emergency contribution to the campaign” and use POTUS’
Twitter avatar on Facebook pages.
About 20 groups with names like
“Latinos for the President” and “MAGA Coalition,” groups that are structured as
PACs or political nonprofits, brought in $46.7 million between January 2017 and
June 2019, Politico reports. The publication adds that most of the money comes from donors who give $200 or less.
Trump officials worry that the
hundreds of unofficial pro-Trump boosters are sucking up funds that would
otherwise contribute to Trump’s 2020 campaign. They also confuse the Trump
campaign’s messaging to the public and make it harder to accumulate donors, Trump
allies told Politico.
“There’s nothing we can do to stop
them,” said America First spokeswoman Kelly Sadler to Politico. America First
is the only super PAC authorized by Trump, Politico reports. “This is a problem
for the campaign, as well as us, as well as for the RNC.”
Read the rest here. If
you are inclined to contribute to any campaign, best to be pro-active and
access the legitimate online campaign sites yourself.
And Happy Boxing Day!
