The illusory world of America’s left gets more crowded every day, as the Democrats’ Arrogance Army continues its offensive against the American dream.
We recall Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, the anti-Catholic bigot who unashamedly explains his membership in an exclusive all-white yacht club as a “long tradition.”
By Joe Biden’s standards, Whitehouse would qualify as a “white supremacist,” and Joe wouldn’t be alone. Now Brother Gary Dantzler, Executive Director of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, agrees.
“I am ashamed of Senator Whitehouse and his affiliation with this racist club. Him coming out and speaking about ending systemic racism while belonging to a ‘whites only’ private club is hypocrisy as it worst,” Dantzler told GoLocal Providence.
Like most hypocrites, Whitehouse is unfazed. He now wants to accentuate the positive, as well as change the subject. So let’s see, what can he do to rile up his stalwart pro-abortion fan club?
That’s it! Go after another pro-life Trump Supreme Court nominee! It works every time.
Uh…but wait a minute. There aren’t any Trump Supreme Court nominees on the Senate calendar. There aren’t any at all.
Perhaps the racist Whitehouse is not well.
But Whitehouse persists. He wants justice for…let’s see…how about Christine Blasey Ford?
Who?
And there they go again. Whitehouse is now demanding that the Department of Justice conduct a rerun of the Senate’s confirmation hearings on the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The first show trial wasn’t enough, Whitehouse insists.
He might be a racist, but Whitehouse is a true believer. And he apparently believes Ford, whose stage-managed fictions about Kavanaugh were so fatuous that Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley referred her to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution.
And that opens the door for Whitehouse, who did his level best to malign Kavanaugh during the committee’s hearings on the nomination.
Because the Department of Justice is now under the direction of Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland. We recall that Garland was Obama’s nominee to fill the seat of Antonin Scalia in 2016, but he was never confirmed, thanks to Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Mitch McConnell, who never allowed the nomination to come up for a vote on the Senate floor.
Garland has a long memory. And now it’s payback time, and Whitehouse wants to provide the ammunition.
Envy Takes The Stage
Whitehouse might be a racist by “long tradition,” but the tradition of envy, that Deadly Sin, has been around a lot longer, and he knows it.
Envy is the engine of socialism. Every wannabe tyrant in history has manipulated that passion to stoke resentment among the masses.
However, envy also feeds enmity among those in power.
Wasn’t it Satan’s envy that caused him to “fall like a bolt of lightning from Heaven”? (Luke 10:18)
Well, if Satan can envy, so can Garland, and Whitehouse is betting that Biden’s budding Stasi impersonator at Justice will take the bait.
Remember how Big Brother insisted that Oceania had always been an ally of Eastasia, and Eurasia was our enemy? And suddenly it was the other way around?
That is now the working principle of the Biden Administration.
Merrick Garland has already turned Justice on its head. “White supremacists” are suddenly the most dangerous terrorists in America. But Garland doesn’t mean real white supremacists like Whitehouse. He means Trump supporters.
And that includes Trump Supreme Court appointments, which is why Whitehouse wants Garland to take up Blasey Ford’s case after all — not to prosecute her for perjury, but to perpetuate the Democrats’ anti-Trump road show for another season by going after Brett Kavanaugh.
Down is up.
Facts don’t matter, the perpetual war does. And the Democrat Left will use the new anti-Kavanaugh barrage on two fronts.
First, it will keep the Potemkin Village façade of “Trump!” alive while Democrats plunder the country and destroy the Constitution. And second, it will also provide the latest installment in their war against the Supreme Court.
The Whitehouse-Garland charade is just the latest episode in the pro-abortion narrative that threatens any prospective pro-life judicial nominees with a non-stop campaign of political savagery in the form of a self-serving soap opera masquerading as “due diligence.”
But that door swings only one way. False allegations made against Republicans, even under the penalty of perjury, are fine. They often work, and they will never be prosecuted.
For Democrats, true, credible, and even proven allegations are “unfair,” just “political.” Even if the allegations include criminal behavior, they will never be prosecuted.
That’s the principle at work here. One woman’s lies about Kavanaugh prompted then-Sen. Kamala Harris to demand that we “believe all women,” but apparently that didn’t include the two women who accused Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexual assault or the women who alleged for years that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo had harassed them.
Fairfax is still in office, and so is Cuomo. But New York Attorney General Letitia James has found that there are now nine credible Cuomo accusers. So leading Democrats (but not Sen. Whitehouse) are finally demanding that Cuomo resign.
So for you math majors, the formula goes something like this: One flimsy accusation suffices to destroy a Republican, but it takes nine accusers to bring Democrats to “believe all women.”
Cuomo: Arrogance Enthroned
Cuomo, meanwhile, says, “That’s just not who I am.”
He might not know who he is, but we know that he is a certified pro-abortion fanatic who sent thousands of New Yorkers to an untimely death during the pandemic and then wrote a best-seller bragging about how that demonstrated his “leadership in a crisis.”
At press time, Cuomo is staying home, his accusers are lining up to sue him, and the State Assembly is fast-tracking impeachment hearings.
And sure enough, Stasi Garland’s Justice Department has come to the rescue.
In August 2020, the Justice Department announced that it was “Requesting Data from Governors of States that Issued COVID-19 Orders that May Have Resulted in Deaths of Thousands of Elderly Nursing Home Residents.”
“New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan required nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients to their vulnerable populations, often without adequate testing,” the department’s statement read.
“For example,” the statement continued, “on March 25, 2020, New York ordered: ‘No resident shall be denied readmission or admission to [a nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. [Nursing homes] are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission’.”
These were statements of fact, not allegations.
“Protecting the rights of some of society’s most vulnerable members, including elderly nursing home residents, is one of our country’s most important obligations,” said Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Division Eric Dreiband. “We must ensure they are adequately cared for with dignity and respect and not unnecessarily put at risk.”
“Dignity and respect?” Not anymore. That was then. This is now.
On July 23, a clerk at Garland’s Department of Justice quietly announced that the department would not pursue the investigation in New York, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Those three embattled governors have nothing to fear from Biden’s Department of Justice.
The case of a veterans’ home in New Jersey is still being investigated.
