Beto's O'Rourke's Campaign Events Are So Bad He Is Inviting Mexico to Come

According to the Washington Free Beacon, the apparent lead balloon of a presidential campaign of Beto O'Rourke has targeted social media advertisements at individuals across the frontera mexicana, as can be seen in this screenshot of the Facebook transparency tools. Facebook has for the past year allowed users to see where a group is targeting it sponsored posts using the "info and ads" tab.

The Beto campaign event page posted in English and Spanish shows he was paying to have certain posts targeted at users in Mexico. Among them, O'Rourke paid to blast out to Mexicans an invitation to his campaign stop today at the Jacobs Center in San Diego, Calif. Y'all come on up and stay awhile!   

"It is unclear why O'Rourke is running ads in Mexico for his campaign to be president of the United States. There is a Democrats Abroad primary that will be held next March, but O'Rourke has made no mention of it thus far on the campaign trail. A review of the Facebook pages for each of O'Rourke's Democratic opponents for the presidential nomination found that none were running ads targeting anybody outside the United States."

Well, it's pretty easy to figure this one out......the novelty is beginning to wear off. Beto needs the butts in the seats to make a good show for the media cameras and big money contributors, and to help draw the Hispanic vote, legal or illegal, to do well in the coming border states primaries. Poor Beto's campaign stops have been less and less fruitful lately, and he took a big hit by losing the favor of daytime televisions political science geniuses, the white-male bashing cackling hens of 'The View'.

Mayor Pete Just had To Go There, Didn't He......

Mayor Pete and the First Lady of South Bend 

I was thoroughly prepared to (mostly) be nice and just ignore the homosexuality of Mayor Pete Buttgig, the honorable Mayor of South Bend Indiana, as just another one of the multitude of occupants of the Democrat presidential candidates clown car seeking the 2020 nomination. I said I was, until I read this in USA Today:

“That’s the thing that I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand,” Buttigieg said of the vice president, who has opposed same-sex marriage. “That if you have a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.” 

It’s unusual for Democratic presidential candidates to talk about faith as often as Buttigieg does. It’s groundbreaking that he uses his marriage to another man to illustrate his personal relationship with God. Buttigieg gets easy applause lines at Democratic-friendly audiences, as he did Sunday, for criticizing Pence when he talks about being gay. (His first mention of Pence on Sunday, when Buttigieg described coming out while Pence was serving as Indiana’s governor, generated boos and hisses.)....."

He just had to go there. So if he’s going to campaign as the 'homosexual candidate', then we certainly have every right to note his sexual orientation in discussing him. Butt, of course, there’s more: if Mr Buttgig is going to introduce religion into the campaign by criticizing evangelical support for Donald Trump and Mike Pence, then he has also introduced religious criticism of his position concerning Christianity and homosexuality. He might come to regret that.

But I will admit to some amusement at the fact that Mr Buttgig’s wife Chasten Buttigig, gave some guidance on the pronunciation of the candidate’s name: “boot-edge-edge,” “buddha-judge,” “boot-a-judge” and “boo-tuh-judge.” A homosexual male named “booty judge”? It is to laugh. And how long ago was it that we were told that it was nobody else’s business what other people do in their bedrooms?  Seems that nowadays that is something that homosexuals believe they should shout from the rooftop. It seems to me that any expectation of privacy on that matter was ended by Mr. Buttgig himself.

So, we have a Democratic candidate criticizing the religious faith of other people, calling them hypocrites. OK, fair enough! It also means that we can criticize Mr Buttgig’s odd interpretation of Christianity and what the Bible allows. Let’s have at it!

Spartacus Wants To Marry Some Ugly Chick In The WH

With the 2020 presidential hopeful clown car getting really crowded you have to think of something to make you stand out from the rest of the pack, something really special like eat with a comb or get a cute puppy or come out against circumcision, or maybe something much more fashionable like a Hispanic girlfriend.

Senator Spartacus took a brief detour from talking about politics to praise his new girlfriend, Rosario Dawson, on The Ellen Show and flirt with the possibility of a White House wedding. Booker told DeGeneres that Dawson has made him more “courageous” in the love that he projects and wants to see in the United States. He’s just a man in love. With himself.  And definitely it’s true love and definitely not a shameless ploy to look hip and with it and cool. I figure he was more a Caitlyn Jenner type.

Now I have to admit, I have no idea whatsoever who this Rosario Dawson chick is. Supposedly she's another dime a dozen actress on some streaming service show I have never heard of, and to be truthful I thought she was a guy from the first picture I saw. But we should all pray that with his buggy-eyes and her face, they don't reproduce.

See kids, even adults can pretend and play "house".

Baristas to Beto: Come On Dude, Get Off the Counters Man

When you run for presidential through social media, expect to be turned into a meme.

When Beto O’Rourke arrived for a campaign stop at the Beancounter Coffeehouse in Burlington, Iowa, he hopped right up on the shop’s counter and addressed the masses below. During a visit to Narrow Way Cafe in Detroit, O’Rourke grabbed a microphone and scrambled up on the counter. At Sing-A-Long Bar and Grill in Mount Vernon, Iowa Beto jumped right up on that counter too. After a week of stump speeches from a perch next to the extra sweets and the cash registers, Beto’s countertop habit has become a meme. And some of the nation’s baristas are asking him to please get down from there.

Connor Finnegan, a Brooklyn coffee shop manager said if O’Rourke comes to his cafe, he’s “definitely not” getting on the counter. “He can be heard and seen perfectly well standing on the ground,” citing the 6’4” Beto's height. Josh Wilson, the owner of Cohesive Coffee in Greenville, South Carolina, said he could envision himself voting for O’Rourke, but still wouldn’t want him standing on his counter. “As a cafe owner, the way the picture shows doesn’t make sense,” Wilson said of a picture of O’Rourke squatting on a counter to listen to a woman standing on the ground. “I would understand standing on the counter because the crowd was so big, although organizing it would be better. But he’s kneeled down. It seems like a photo opp that wasn’t necessary. His feet are right by the cups.”

“It's silly to me that Beto spends like half his waking hours hopping on the countertops of coffee shops across Iowa,” Deadspin writer David Roth tweeted Monday, “but—and I assume this is part of the point—I am enjoying the mental image of Trump wheezily humping himself up onto a table at a Ruth's Chris in Ottumwa.”

The Cackling Hens Go After The Psychedelic Warlord

With Whoopie Goldberg freshly arrived back after her absence for a once yearly shove through the local car wash to rinse out those nasty dreadlocks, it was no surprise to hear the Cackling Hens of 'The View' crank it back up and take on the newest clown to jump out of the trees and into the ring to battle for the democrat's 2020 version of our nation's savior. Whoopie wasted no time telling Beto the Boy Wonder not to get too big for his britches and be Careful' About Your 'White Male Privilege' there pretty boy. 

While journalists may be on the “Beto Bus,” the ladies of The View certainly aren’t, (yet anyway.) The hosts dragged the newly announced 2020 candidate for his “white male privilege,” Monday, after he made a series of gaffes over the weekend. Goldberg began by pointing out O’Rourke had broken Bernie Sanders’ fundraising record before slamming him as a privileged white male.  

"Something I heard him say was he realized he was a guy with white privilege and so he also felt he needed a female to run with him. Well, my question is what makes you think she wants to be your vice president? Why would you think she needed to you do that? You have to be careful with privilege like that because things slip out of your mouth, so you got to really sort of clamp down before you open it and have foot inserted. I don't use this all the time but it really is white male privilege to be like, ‘I was born to do this.’ If Hillary or Kamala or anyone had been on the cover of Vanity Fair saying ‘I was born to do this,’ the media would be going insane right now against it....." - Read More

It is funny to see the left eating their own over identity politics. Misgivings about Beto’s racial and chromosomal makeup were front and center on CNN’s New Day when they discovered that Democratic presidential hopeful was actually a white male, and they were not happy about it. The cable network went into race-baiting overdrive following the announcement of O’Rourke’s candidacy, airing hours of feverish handwringing over whether Beto’s “white maleness” rendered him an unacceptable choice for the Democratic Party nominee.

Beto also received this pushback from other CNN hosts, who slammed his “white male” status over 50 times in 24 hours, and from CBS This Morning host Gayle King, who asked the the in your face question, “Are you disadvantaged by being a privileged white man?

Funny thing, no one has yet questioned his sanity. This is gonna be so much fun to watch.......

Not Afraid To Crush Your Silly Progressive Dreams, Amy Klobuchar Solidifies Her Also Ran Status With First Town Hall

As the 2020 Democrat primary race begins to heats up, the proglodytes are jumpin' out of the trees. No social position is too radical as candidates try to one-up the competition and out-progressive each other. It also means that no federal program is too expensive, and no tax hike is too high. The Democrats have basically become the party of “free stuff” as they promise to cover the cost of your life from the cradle to the grave. It’s what you’re supposed to be offering.

Apparently, no one got the memo to Lady Senator Amy Klobuchar. CNN was nice enough to throw a coming out party for the Lady Senator in the form of a Town Hall Meetin' hosted by the Stupidest Man in Cable News, Don Lemon. At one point, Senator Amy made it clear that as your president she has no intention of giving young liberals types four free years of higher education. She said she's not “a magic genie,” so they’re out of luck.

Demanding a yes or no answer, a college student asked Senator Amy if she would be willing to stand with their generation and end the student debt crisis by supporting free college for all, even asking if she'd include undocumented illegal aliens and ex-convicts in the program. Klobuchar basically told him she's not on board with free college for future Starbucks baristas. He didn't state what he actually studied and why it was so expensive. That would have been helpful data, since most people are tired of  hearing liberals say they want hard working families to pay more taxes so whiny snots can major in interpretative dance. 

Don Lemon pressed the point that on a college campus she would probably be facing a lot of similar inquiries from kids who are all in for this free stuff her opponents are offering. Klobuchar responded that "major tax reforms are needed in terms of reversing some of the things that this administration has done, and then some of it is making sure that students are getting degrees and being led to jobs where we actually still have jobs.”

I’m going to skip the usual point about Dems who ignore Obama’s massive debt hike. I’m also not going to get into the fact that she’s complaining about jobs, when Trump’s policies have, unarguably,  been responsible for the most extraordinary job growth America has seen in a long time. Instead, I’m just going to say, kudos to Senator Amy. She’s probably alienated much of the left-wingers, she’s angered young socialists and, by refusing to promise all those free goodies we've been hearing about, she’s probably doomed her already slim chance of success. But at least she answered honestly…

It's the Fun New Game......What If You Had to Defend Kamala

From riding her respectable East Indian heritage while attaining prominence in the "white supremacist power structure" to playing identity politics by passing herself off now as a down with the struggle, former Hip-Hop diggin', reefer tokin' negro princess from Oakland trolling for the black vote as a presidential candidate, now comes an exciting new game: "What If You Had to Defend Kamala."

University of San Francisco Law Professor's Scathing Critique of Kamala Harris' Law Career and Personal Ambitions

University of San Francisco law professor Lara Bazelon wrote a blistering op-ed in the New York Times last week focused on the prosecutorial career of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA). Harris, who claims she is a progressive, took her seat in the 2020 democrat clown car, announcing she's running for president this morning to little fanfare on ABC's Good Morning America. She was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2017 after climbing the political ladder in California, partly as a result of regularly getting into the pants of the powerful mayor of San Francisco while district attorney of San Fran, and then on to the office of Attorney General of California. During that career, Bazelon argues that Harris routinely demonstrated poor judgment and her career was full of wrongful convictions and winning cases by technicality. She provides a laundry list of evidence you can read at the link, but here’s a brief overview:

"Time after time, when progressives urged her to embrace criminal justice reforms as a district attorney and then the state’s attorney general, Ms. Harris opposed them or stayed silent. Most troubling, Ms. Harris fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official misconduct that included evidence tampering, false testimony and the suppression of crucial information by prosecutors."

Bazelon writes about a 2010 incident in which Harris was criticized for failing to act when she discovered a police lab technician was “intentionally sabotaging” her work. A judge “condemned Ms. Harris’s indifference to the systemic violation of the defendants’ constitutional rights,” and 600 cases in which the technician was involved had to be dismissed. Perhaps even more concerning are Bazelon’s examples of Harris vigorously fighting for wrongful convictions, sometimes winning on mere technicalities.

"Ms. Harris also fought to keep Daniel Larsen in prison on a 28-year-to-life sentence for possession of a concealed weapon even though his trial lawyer was incompetent and there was compelling evidence of his innocence. Relying on a technicality again, Ms. Harris argued that Mr. Larsen failed to raise his legal arguments in a timely fashion. (This time, she lost). “All too often, she was on the wrong side of that history."

Journalist Jill Filipovic argued on Twitter that she judges Harris’s history less harshly because black women “shoulder additional burdens” compared to white men, and because women have to prove that they are “tough.” Filipovic acknowledges that Harris’s race and gender don’t “excuse” her record, but she insists, “context matters.”

Harris has also been accused of covering For San Francisco Archdiocese Sex Abuse.
