Nikki Haley's Got Something to Say to the 'Ladies' at 'The View'

Nikki Haley's Got Something to Say to the 'Ladies' at 'The View'

I hope you're sitting down for this one. The 'ladies' at The View don't like something Republicans did. Shocker, right? 

In this case, it's the fact that Gov. Henry McMaster appointed the late Lindsey Graham's sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to hold his place in the Senate until a new senator for South Carolina is elected. 

Now, I know some of you didn't like this idea, but you didn't like it for legitimate reasons. The ladies at The View didn't like it because... um, well, because she's a woman. 

"I don't love it," Sunny Hostin said. "You know, she'll be the first woman to be a U.S. Senator in South Carolina in the history of the state, and I think that that's just fundamentally wrong that South Carolina just couldn't elect a woman, and this was the only way it's done. I think that experience does matter... I don't think she should be representing the people of South Carolina in the U.S. Senate."  

"Isn't this the very definition of DEI?" Joy Behar asked. 

"Correct. Correct. It's everything that the Republican Party stands against. Everything," Hostin continued. "It's DEI, nepotism, all these things thrown in together." She went on to talk about how Pete Hegseth is preventing women of color from becoming admirals or some such nonsense. 

I'm not from South Carolina, but I am from the South, and I'm sick and tired of getting dumped on by people like this who live in their little elitist bubbles. Wasn't it Hostin who said last week she was scared of houses with American flags because they're racists or some such nonsense? I laughed my tail off at that because my black neighbor has the biggest flagpole on my street, but I digress. 

Anyway, let's be clear: This is some sort of "the South is sexist/racist" stereotype code talk that people like this love to throw around. Well, I'd like to take a moment to school Hostin. 

First up, South Carolina has no problem electing women, and one of the most prominent female politicians, who happens to be a Republican, spoke up to let them know. Former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley posted a video of this The View exchange and politely corrected them between what I imagine were fits of laughter.

"The ladies of The View are already losing their minds about Senator Darline Graham Nordone because South Carolinians just could never 'elect a woman,' Haley wrote. "…I'm pretty sure we took care of that 16 years ago 😂 Congrats, Darline. You’re already making us proud!"   

Haley served as the state's governor from 2011 to 2017 and went on to serve as ambassador to the United Nations during Donald Trump's first term. And since these "ladies" love to put people into groups, Haley was not just the state's first female governor, but she was also the state's first governor of Indian descent, the country's second governor of Indian descent, and the first person of Indian descent to serve in a presidential cabinet. 

I'm guessing Rep. Nancy Mace would also like a word. She's a woman. She's a Republican. South Carolinians voted for her.  

And let's look at South Carolina's other senator, one of my favorites, Sen. Tim Scott. He happens to be black, but is he "DEI?" No. The people of South Carolina have voted for him in elections, too. He's there on merit, something Democrats don't seem to be able to wrap their brains around. 

Imagine that, a backward Southern red state that has voted for a female governor, a governor of Indian descent, and one of the handful of black senators currently serving in the United States.  

And as for nepotism, this is standard bipartisan procedure for a Senate vacancy. I did a little research and found at least 40 to 50 examples of female relatives appointed to congressional seats when someone (usually their husbands) died. It's pragmatic — these women usually know their relatives' district and views, and it helps maintain stability and continuity. 

Finally, I'd like to say that Sunny Hostin doesn't need to cry nepotism to anyone — glass houses and all that. We just learned recently that her 24-year-old son was out jogging on active Metro-North railroad tracks when he was cited by law enforcement for trespassing. Hostin didn't take this too well and reportedly called up the police and played the "Do you know who I am?" card. 

Rules for thee but not for me. This woman is ridiculous. I don't know much about Sen. Graham Nordone, but I am willing to bet that she's 1,000 times more intelligent than that entire table of women put together.

The good news is that the Democratic Party isn’t gaining momentum as we reach the dog days of summer. The bad news is that we still have a long way to go until Election Day. A new phase of the conflict with Iran has begun, prices could rise, and the issue of affordability might once again hurt President Trump and the Republican Party’s numbers. Even before this latest generic poll was released, the president needed to boost his favorable ratings, and gas prices had to come down. There’s no alternative here: the price must come down. Full stop. But we digress. 

RealClearPolitics’ election analyst Sean Trende posted something yesterday that probably irritated liberals. He believes soft Republicans are returning, but right now, we’re in a place where it’s not unlikely that Republicans win the House:

Don’t pop champagne or get too excited, but it’s worth watching. In North Carolina, a Democratic firm, Public Policy Polling, found that former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, once very popular, is leading Republican and former RNC chair Michael Whatley by only four points. Even PPP admits the GOP has a chance to win here—Whatley needs to boost his name recognition, which he’s trying to do by completing a 100-county tour of the state. A GOP win here would almost end Democrats’ long-shot hopes for the Senate. The House was more likely to flip, but even that remains uncertain. 

The Democrats lack a clear message beyond ‘we hate Trump,’ and they have no solid agenda. Their brand is weak, and their polling numbers are poor. Their leaders are unpopular, and now they’re dealing with a socialist insurgency that further complicates messaging efforts, while possibly draining resources needed to defend candidates seen as more electable and incumbents. Oh, and the Democrats are almost broke.

Kurt Schlichter says it

Leftist Women Are an Abomination

Leftist Women Are an Abomination


A 43-year-old Trump-hating American woman named Jamey Carney decided to move to Ireland to escape the Bad Orange Man’s reign of terror, shack up with her Palestinian asylum seeker boyfriend, and… well, that misadventure ended about as well as a sentence that begins “I thought the pitbull looked cute, so I petted it…” or “But I thought I could fly…” Spoiler Alert: Her Muslim dreamboat got mad at the uppity infidel and bludgeoned her to death. Who could’ve seen that coming except anybody with eyes? It’s kind of amazing how Darwinism results in a self-cleaning gene pool.

No, I would prefer that she had not been murdered by the semi-human, Third World savage she decided was a viable alternative to a nice, normal Western male, but my bandwidth of caring is necessarily limited. One can only genuinely care a finite amount; pretending to care endlessly and without limits is just moral posturing, of which there is far too much. That’s why one must carefully curate what he chooses to care about. Neither you nor I can possibly care about all the wrongs in the world, and we should not take some of that precious caring that would otherwise be devoted to someone who is not the architect of her own miserable fate and squander it on someone who is.

The point here is not the bad judgment of one dumb liberal woman from America. The point is the bad judgment of an enormous number of dumb liberal women from all over the West. These self-righteous crones are a pestilence, a plague upon Western society, a group of doggedly ignorant feminist/chauvinists playing out their personal psychodramas on the world stage whose antics, if unchecked, will inevitably lead to the fall of civilization.

Too extreme? Look around you at what’s going on. These creatures range from the ridiculous blue-haired faildaughters with gender studies degrees and a career in baristaing, to the gray-maned boomer women reeking of patchouli and sexual dissatisfaction at your local No Kings rally, to Angela Merkel, the German chancellor who decided she needed to shut down Europe’s greatest economic power’s entire energy industry even as she was importing most of the Third World with utterly predictable rapey consequences. Just look at this lunatic who stands a significant chance of being a Senate nominee for a major political party. The patriarchy built a civilization; the mediocre matriarchy wants to tear it down out of guilt, boredom, and sexual frustration.

If you’re looking for policy that’s not just bad but civilization-shakingly bad, there’s a better-than-even chance there’ll be women-identifying women behind it. Orwell called it in "1984": “It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.” If it’s a bad idea, chances are there’s a chick behind it.

And that includes empowering the trans nonsense—do you think for a minute that dudes with the whole sausage shelf swinging would ever be allowed in women’s locker rooms if there weren’t significant numbers of high-status women demanding it? Do you imagine that the majority of men would refuse a majority of women who were demanding we exclude these perverts? Hell no—the guys would look at the women as if they were crazy, asking, “Wait, there are dudes doing what?” and out would come the torches n’ pitchforks. But, in fact, it’s women who demand that these creeps be allowed to invade women’s intimate spaces and women who demand that these mutants dominate women’s sports. Not all women, but enough high-status and influential ones to make it happen. Remember, the only thing these broken women hate more than men is unbroken women.

This is the cue for critics to whine and complain because I’m talking about the specific and particular failures of women. Remember, we must pretend that every specific group, except straight white dudes who believe in Jesus and normal genders, each provides its own wonderful and unique attributes to the beautiful tapestry that is diversity. And yet, while we’re required to pretend that each group has uniquely compelling good points, even where the evidence demonstrates to the contrary, we’re also required to pretend that none of them has uniquely compelling negative points. Well, when women screw up, they often screw up in a uniquely female way. And, at the risk of being called a sexist oppressor even harder than usual—because they’re always going to call you a sexist oppressor—that’s the truth, and it’s irrelevant that some feminist doxie cries when she hears it.

Now, of course, men also screw up in their own uniquely compelling male ways. Take what just happened in Maine. We have both Herr Oystergruppenführer, a guy who appears almost as a parody of toxic masculinity, as well as the up-talking femboy socialist consultant who thought that this was just the guy to take on that fascist demon Susan Collins. Maybe he thought that a red flag was a good thing; after all, he was a communist. But the subject at hand is women and how women screw up, and women do screw up even if saying so ticks off the girlbosses. At the individual level, we see how Platneresque convicts on death row are often inundated with mash notes from women on the outside. When they finally get led over to Old Sparky, you always read about how the wife they married while in prison sobbed to the reporter about how their three-named monster hubby was really a wonderful and gentle soul, totally oblivious to the four people he chopped up with an axe after robbing them for $12.

The unfortunate Jamey Carney is akin to these nitwits. She was living in New York and the mother of a 13-year-old daughter, but then Trump came along, and she was so mad at him that she decided to move to the Emerald Isle. At a Palestinian protest, of course, she met Ahmad Al-Saqar, a 28-year-old dude also living in Ireland—on the dole, naturally—and they fell in love. Well, she fell in love. He beat her brains out around July 7-8. Gee, how could this fairytale romance have gone so wrong?

Writ larger, she was one of those ridiculous ladies who stand there with a sign that says, “Refugees Welcome,” demanding that even more perverted Third World peasants flood her country. Like gays for Palestine, it’s a societal suicide pact that they somehow think they’re exempt from. The numbers are undeniable. The majority of rapes in Europe are linked to migrants, even though they make up less than 10 percent of the population in many countries. But does that stop liberal women? No, it probably encourages them. Oh, I don’t think they want to be raped and beaten to death personally, but I think that they believe, at some level, that members of their own society deserve that fate. They believe their societies are evil, which naturally makes them the heroines in the young adult novel that is their lives, and they’re trying to atone for it by this ritual humiliation and sacrifice.

You see this all the time, with ridiculous lefty women demanding that we defund the police and close prisons while female judges sentence violent psychopaths to probation. They cast it as mercy and grace, but it’s not. They’re seeking to punish the rest of us for the sins they have adjudicated us guilty of committing as a society. In other words, they know full well the damage they’re doing. It’s intentional. It’s penance. Some, like Carney, have convinced themselves that their advocacy for the destruction of their own society will give them a free pass. They simply don’t understand that the foreigners they adore as the avengers of all the myriad wrongs they attribute to their own society hold them, correctly, in utter contempt.

Ahmad Al-Saqar always despised the late Ms. Carney for her weakness and stupidity, just like these savages always despise their Western cheerleaders for their weakness and stupidity. When she annoyed him, he murdered her because that’s what happens in his garbage culture. Ms. Carney could not conceive of that because she grew up in a civilized culture, one created, ordered, and defended by the kind of strong American males she holds in such contempt. It’s only in such a society that she and the other liberal wine women so despise that her brand of ideological frivolity cannot merely survive, but flourish. Yet, as soon as they encounter the barbarians outside the gate that she and her friends want to cast open to the invaders, they are suddenly outside the protection they have known all their lives. They can act the fool while people they hate watch over them and protect them, but once they put themselves in a position where the men of the West can’t protect them anymore, they are subject to all the consequences of their choices. And that’s why Jamey Carney is dead.

It’s sad for her, but it’s infinitely sadder for our society as a whole. Again, we have only a finite amount of sincere caring allocated to us. At some point, people need to learn not to put their hands on the stove. Yet they’re happy to risk being burned as long as the rest of us go up in flames. For that reason, we should devote the same amount of sincere caring to her and her ilk as they devote to us.

The Commie Call Is Coming From Inside the Democrats' House

The Commie Call Is Coming From Inside the Democrats' House

Top O' the Briefing

Happy Thursday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Swansbeagrum preferred not to discuss the year he spent playing xylophone for Finland's very belated answer to the Village People. 

Gosh, we talk about socialism a lot lately, don't we? OK, I talk about communism but, as I wrote the other day, I use the words interchangeably. 

What I find odd is that so many in the political chattering class — both on the right and left — are acting as if the young idiot Zohran Mamdani wing of the Democratic Party is dragging the party in a new direction. Seriously, I see more of that than you might think. As I have been saying and writing for months, the Dems long ago wandered into Commie Land, they were just heavily invested in pretending that they hadn't. Until President Donald Trump upended the political tradition apple cart in 2016, the Democrats used to be better at playing a more subtle long game in politics. Since then, they've been singularly focused on being consumed by hatred for the man who denied their alcoholic Ice Queen the presidency that they felt she was entitled to. 

Any nuance in strategy or tactics is lost to the Democrats now. Their coyness about being too far left is gone. The older Dems may not be shouting their love of socialism from the hilltops, but they also haven't once told Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to shut her perpetually gaping maw. The old Dems are just like the new Dems. Mamdani and his ilk are the lizard faces that are revealed when the American masks are pulled off.  

All that is really happening with the Democrats right now is a good, old-fashioned power struggle between the young and old. There is no ideological struggle here, because there isn't anything that Zohran Mamdani believes in that Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries disagree with. Still, some of the Democratic old guard (read: Clinton people) would like to put on a show for the public and say that isn't so. 

My Townhall colleague Amy Curtis wrote yesterday about former Hillary Clinton advisor Al Mottur and his harsh words for the youthful commie types in the party:

"These people, they're not crazy, they're ideologues. They don't love America, let me say that," said Mottur. "A lot of these people do not love America and I'm not team Democrat, I'm team America. And if we have people in our party who are so far Left, that they are saying we don't want to protect people from crime, well, that's just absurd. And, by the way, we're not going to win a national election, let alone an election in Michigan, if that's our position."

Cool story, Al. Here's the thing, though — it is mainstream Democrats who have firmly established the soft-on-crime ethos in your party, not the young'uns. You all believe the same things, the younger Dems are just louder and more honest about what they're up to. It's working for them right now because they've seen how feckless the Dem establishment has become since it's been riddled with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Voters in general want something positive to get behind, but it's more true for younger voters who are filled with unbridled idealism. "We hate that guy!" doesn't move them. 

Zohran Mamdani is vehemently opposed to ICE, but if you look at his public proclamations and interviews, you'll notice that he doesn't spend a lot of time specifically whining about President Trump. He's got too many fake free things to offer the kids. 

Democrats have been repeatedly swan diving into the 20% deep end on every 80/20 issue there is, so it shouldn't surprise them that the rowdy youth want to make it all louder. No older elected Democrat is in any position to tell the young commies that they're going too far. My latest column is about an Opinion piece in The New York Times that outlines exactly where and how the Democrats should dial back the far-left insanity if they want to win elections again. You read that right — The New York Times is saying that the party is too out there.

The Democratic Socialists of America aren't a political party, they're a political organization. DSA "luminaries" Zohran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are registered Democrats. They don't need to start a new party, they already belong to one that's sympathetic to everything that they believe.

Nuclear Power

Nuclear Power

Nuclear Power

A few years ago, nuclear power looked doomed.

Plants were shutting down.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo won applause bragging about closing a nuclear plant "14 years ahead of schedule."

"Why would they applaud?" asks former nuclear engineer Ray Rothrock in my new video. "They shut down New York's finest source of clean energy."

Rothrock has met with presidents, trying to persuade them to embrace nuclear power, but "nothing was ever addressed."

Until now.

President Donald Trump ordered the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to speed up licensing of new plants.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) called that a "flagrant disregard for nuclear safety."

"Not conducive to nuclear safety," complained Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).

"That's just a bunch of crap," says Rothrock. "They're afraid of something that they don't need to be afraid of."

We don't? What about that meltdown at Three Mile Island?

Time Magazine called it a "nuclear nightmare." The Washington Post: "nuclear crisis."

"The result ... should be the abandonment of nuclear power!" said a widely quoted "analyst."

It was the usual media hysteria.

"Nobody was hurt!" Rothrock points out.

It didn't matter. Media still called nuclear energy an "unacceptable risk."

Then there was another accident in Fukushima, Japan.

People did die there, but not from radiation. Not one. People died because the government's required evacuation disrupted their medical care.

The United Nations reported, "No discernible increased incidence of radiation-related health effects."

But my media colleagues, as usual, made radiation the villain. Nuclear power was set back further.

It's why more countries didn't do what France does: get most of its power from nuclear reactors.

People in France are OK with that, but in most of the rest of the world, anti-nuclear protesters persuaded people to be frightened about "radiation leaks."

The scare works because most people don't realize that radiation is everywhere.

Just flying in a plane exposes you to it. So does living in Denver.

A beach in Brazil has natural radiation levels much higher than our government's safety standards.

"Thirty times the safety standard!" says Rothrock.

People who use that beach don't get more cancer. Our bodies can handle low levels of radiation.

"Why take any risks?" I ask Rothrock. "Why don't we just use solar and wind?"

"Wind stops blowing sometimes. ... You need a lot of land for solar and wind. Throw in all those costs and it's pretty darn expensive."

In America, new nuclear plants are pretty darn expensive, too. But that's mainly because of the NRC's cumbersome rules.

"'Thou shall do it this way,'" complains Rothrock. "Thou all shall have that. Thou shall have this.' The regulators said, 'If it takes a 3-foot, 6-inch wall to protect from the radiation ... why don't you make it 4? Better still, why don't you make it 10?'"

Regulators rarely adjust rules to account for new technology.

The NRC required plants to be covered by a dome. But some new reactors, says Rothrock, are "not pressurized! There's no need for a dome. But the rules say you have to build a dome!"

Just to get approval for a new plant "got to be five, six, seven years. Then people stopped completely. For literally 30 years, the NRC has not seen a new reactor proposal."

Only now have the rules been changed, and for the first time in 10 years, a new reactor has been approved.

So protesters shout: "This nuclear nightmare is back! ... You can have a full-blown reactor core meltdown!"

This time, they are losing.

18 reactors have had operating licenses extended. Many new reactors are in development.

Private entrepreneurs are making better fuels and reactors that are easier to install.

If bureaucrats get out of the way, we should soon have cheap, clean energy.

Jesse Watters Schools Jessica Tarlov on the Houston ICE Shooting

Jesse Watters Schools Jessica Tarlov on the Houston ICE Shooting

Townhall Media

An ICE agent fatally shot a man in Houston on Tuesday morning after the man tried to run him over during a vehicle stop. According to the agency, federal agents were conducting a targeted enforcement operation when Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, tried to evade arrest. The agency says Salgado Araujo attempted to ram an ICE vehicle, refused multiple verbal commands, and then tried to run over an agent, who fired his weapon in self-defense.

Naturally, the left treated the story as another opportunity to smear President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement agenda, just as it has after every enforcement-related shooting over the past year and a half. The facts didn't matter. They never do.

On Tuesday's episode of The Five, Jesse Watters wasn't having it, and his leftist co-host Jessica Tarlov learned that the hard way.

"All right, so the bullet holes are right through the front windshield," Watters observed. "So this wasn't a side shot. The car was coming at the officer, we think, and they'll do a review. And if he's, you know, guilty of something negligent, then he'll face justice. Or if the person drove at him and he was defending his life, then that's it."

When Watters asked why Salgado Araujo was in the country in the first place, Tarlov offered up the best defense she could muster. "He's working," she said.

Oh, so that makes it okay?

"He shouldn't be here, Jessica," Watters fired back. He noted that Salgado Araujo wasn't even the target of the operation. "And so, if they say pull over, pull over," he said. "Now, this investigation will be over, but we have to grow up. Can we grow up? I mean, there's going to be fatalities in law enforcement situations, especially when there's foreign fugitives who are resisting and running away."

Then Watters compared Trump's record to Joe Biden's. "Biden didn't even try. Biden and the Democrats chose to let millions of migrants in here. And then they chose not to deport them."

ICYMI: Can You Guess Why Newsom’s Nanny State Is Starting to Go Through People’s Garbage?

"You said they should be able to break into the country and stay until they break a law," he said. "And then they can get deported. Then we don't have a border. That's just an invitation for Latin America to break into the country. And we have to wait for them to commit crimes? That's not a policy. That's insanity."

The reality is even worse than that, because when illegal aliens do commit crimes, Democrat-run sanctuary states shield them from the consequences. "So they say they want to get the criminals out," Watters said. "And then when we try to get the criminals out, they protect them." He even brought up the illegal alien child rapist in Minnesota who received a pardon from Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.). "Got pardoned by Tampon? I mean, what the hell? So he wouldn't get deported?"

I said it before, and I’ll say it again: Trump deports the worst of the worst; Democrats pardon them.

Watters wrapped up by explaining what's really driving all of this. "Why, all of a sudden, we bring in all this foreign-born population, [and] Democrats are all of a sudden competitive?" he asked. "They just imported everybody that lived outside of the country into the country, and now it's closer. That's why they want them here, no matter if they commit crimes or not."

The Democrat Party's position on immigration collapses the moment anyone examines it. Its leaders claim they only want criminals deported, but then they protect the criminals. They claim they support law enforcement, then vilify the agents doing the enforcing. Tarlov had no answer for any of it.

Because there isn't one.

Trump Says China Obtained Over 200 Million U.S. Voter Files, Declassifies Documents on Election Fraud

Trump Says China Obtained Over 200 Million U.S. Voter Files, Declassifies Documents on Election Fraud

President Donald Trump has announced that Communist China committed a massive election security breach, bribed U.S. journalists, manipulated our elections, and colluded with treacherous Americans to manufacture illegal ballots for Joe Biden.

Two hundred and twenty million — that's how many voters' registration data the Chinese Communists stole, Trump said. And there are at least 278,000 non-citizens on voter rolls, but the real number is almost certainly much higher, the president said. The system is "so broken," Trump argued, that it is "not defensible." There are also hundreds of thousands of dead voters' names on the rolls. "There's no third-world country that has elections like we have," Trump exclaimed.

Trump's Thursday primetime speech was indeed about election integrity, and according to him, the "Deep State" intelligence agencies during his first term ran a "shadow government" to hide information on Chinese Communist Party (CCP) meddling in our elections. Trump even said that his second administration has found burn bags meant to be burned under the Obama administration, with crucial evidence supporting criminal charges against powerful former and current politicians and bureaucrats. Electronic voting machines and ballot counting machines were incredibly vulnerable, and the feds knew it, but hid it, Trump accused. "The United States adversaries, including at minimum Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran," can compromise U.S. elections, he said. "The trust of the American people was lost." He urged passage of crucial election integrity legislation.

In mid-2018, the CCP's policy was to leverage anti-Trump sentiments to force him out, and Chinese money funded anti-Trump media blitzes, Trump said. China also influenced the 2020 election results, he declared. 

"The CIA obtained reporting of a specific plot to do a big number in favor of the corrupt Maduro regime in Venezuela, and that's exactly what happened," Trump said. Bad actors manipulated electronic vote totals. That's what happened right here in the USA, too. Yet the "Deep State" buried the evidence for years. 

The FBI obtained evidence on just one voter registration operation in Michigan that included fraudulent ballot signing, submission of ballots without real individuals, and gift cards offered depending on how many false ballots each person submitted.

The Trump administration is already reaching out to compromised states to ensure that future elections can "never be bought, never be hacked, and we can never watch a stolen election again," Trump added. He questioned why Congress has not passed the SAVE America Act. "The only reason you would [not] want to do that is you want to cheat," he argued. "Mail-in ballots are inherently corrupt," he said, arguing for a drastic reduction in legal justifications for mail-in ballots. He asked We the People to call our representatives to demand passage of the SAVE America Act.
