TULSI GABBARD--WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE

 

                                                       BY WILLIAM JUNEAU

                                  It is not just the beauty of the beaches and the palm trees and the cool blue waters and evening breezes which excite citizens and make them look with affection on Hawaii, the eden of the Pacific.   Nowadays, along with the enchantments of this paradise island, thousands of miles from America's turbulent capitol, there is a growing sentiment and admiration for Hawaii's former Congresswoman,  Tulsi Gabbard,  for the honesty and courage and political grit which she has displayed.

                                 For sure, many citizens are disappointed that Ms. Gabbard is no longer a figure in the House of Representatives where she was a member from  2013 to the beginning of this year (2021).   She stepped down from her Hawaiian seat having decided not to seek another term, though her reelection appeared certain to observers.   

                                   In many ways, Rep. Gabbard, 39, was unique as a Democrat member of the People's House, led by old and venomous Nancy Pelosi whose hate for President Trump and contempt for Republicans has become legendary. 

                                 Unlike partisan Democrats who simply kneel and do what they are told to do, their oath be dammed, Gabbard represented her district and  made her decisions based upon what she believed to be the best for the country and its citizens.  Sometimes she disagreed with her party's fumbling and disingenuous policies and rantings based solely on aversion for the sitting President, and she made her positions known.  In the partisan Ukraine impeachment fantasy of President Trump,  Gabbard voted present while every other Democrat followed the party's manufactured  effort to destroy the Trump presidency and legacy. 

                                 Last year, during the Democrat's search for a presidential nominee,  Gabbard entered the competition as a candidate. On the national debate stage, she was reasonable and articulate and smart, and she stood out for her patriotism and good sense. Party loyalty was important but not always the bottom line.   She won support and praise from many corners of the country which heretofore were unfamiliar with even her name.  Her failure to line up as a belligerent critic and hater of President Trump drew criticism from prominent Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, who accused her of being a Russian plant. She withdrew as a candidate and subsequently sued Clinton for defamation. 

                                    Physically attractive and well educated, Gabbard was a major in the army reserves and had served in combat in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East.  Her popularity and respect from peers inside the  People's House was well known, and she worked regularly with Republican colleagues on pending legislation designed to benefit all Americans.  She was an elected Democrat, but her pride as an American took precedence over her party loyalties, and her disenchantment with the Nancy Pelosi leadership was never much of a secret. 

                                     After rioters swarmed the capitol on January 6, she denounced the violence, and  took issue with the conduct of prominent Democrats  and with "Big Tech" companies which suspended President Trump's platform to communicate his messages to Americans. 

                                     It took courage, but the 39-year-old ex-battle- hardened Army veteran,  saw the negatives in the partisan lying and rantings from prominent Democrats in the House and she singled out for criticism Adam Schiff, a Pelosi weasel who has lied repeatedly in public statements and former CIA Director John Brennan, whose fealty to the United States has always been questioned. 

                                      As a guest on a Fox News show with Laura Ingraham, Gabbard upbraided Nancy Pelosi for having labeled Republicans as terrorists who are causing problems and are the "enemy within." Pelosi's remarks, she said, qualified  as "throwing a match onto the tinderbox." Her words are "dangerous" and unless she has evidence to support what she is saying, she should apologize to the American people.   

                                     Gabbard has posted a video on the social airways with her reaction to the violence and and to the pummeling of the Free speech rights belonging to all Americans including the President.   

                                     "President Biden, I call upon you and all members of Congress from both parties to denounce these efforts by the likes of Brennan and others to take away our civil liberties that are endowed to us by our Creator and guaranteed in our Constitution. If you don’t stand up to these people now, then our country will be in great peril.

                                       “The mob which stormed the Capitol on January 6 to try to stop Congress from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities was behaving like domestic enemies of our country,” Gabbard said. 

                                        “But let’s be clear," she emphasized, "the John Brennans,  and the Adam Schiffs and the oligarchs in Big Tech who are trying to undermine our constitutionally protected rights and turn our country into a police state with KGB-style surveillance are also domestic enemies....and they are more powerful, and dangerous, than the mob that stormed the Capitol.” 

                                          Her negative references to Adam Schiff, a Pelosi sycophant,  were actually restrained, given Schiff's conduct as a proven liar. Over the last four years Schiff has attacked the former president on an almost daily basis, and has never been held accountable for what he has said.  Instead he is praised by the far left Media which is now owned and controlled by the Democratic party. As  chairman of the powerful House Intelligence committee,  Schiff has led efforts to impeach President Trump on fabricated allegations, and in 2018 even persuaded an army lieutenant colonel working in the White House to betray his commander-in-chief and  invent seditious charges that the President had bulldozed the Ukrainian president in an effort to have him denigrate Joe Biden.

                                         John Brennan, a former CIA director and Obama loyalist, has said that he was in favor of  Biden forces moving in "laser like" fashion to identify members of the pro-Trump insurgency, namely, "religious extremists, fascists bigots, racists, nativists and even libertarians who did his biddings." 

                                         Brennan's patriotism to the counry has long been a subject of speculation and question.   He was an activist and a supporter of Communist Gus Hall who sought the Presidency back in the 1970s.  One former FBI agent who worked with Brennan in the Middle East has said that Brennan is a convert to the Islam religion, and "cannot be trusted." When sworn into that office as the spy chief,  Brennan declined to take his oath with his hand on the Bible; and instead took his oath of office with his hand on an  old and superseded copy of the U.S. Constitution which did not include four of the ten amendments in the Bill of Rights. 

                                         Hopefully, the courage displayed by Tulsi Gabbard will influence other dedicated and honest Democrats to come forward and help end the left wing efforts to bring discord to the country and to terminate adherence to the 250 year old U.S. Constitution.

TALK OF "MOM" AND "DAD" BANNED IN THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE.

                                    BY WILLIAM JUNEAU

                                           Is there a corner group of Americans-- somewhere, or anywhere-- who actually support plans by the House of Representatives (The People's House) to "de-gender" the rhetoric and the written words used by its members? In a spurt of asininity led by the aged and mush-mouthed lady speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, changes have been drafted to Rule XXIII of the official House Code of Official Conduct--- so buckle up. 

                                Technically, according to Pelosi, the necessary changes are being offered for pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules so as to become "gender neutral," and to provide a warmer welcome to new members from the LGBTQ community.  

                                 As I get it, the actual implementing of this absurd proposed rule change, remains subject to approval by a majority of the 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Since the proposal is being pushed by the speaker, and no doubt endorsed by cool and ambitious "squad members," it is likely to pass.  The idea is so incredibly looney that I fear that it will appeal to the full ship of Democrats, or as some refer to the majority members as the "ship of fools."  

                                 Words and phrases scheduled to be struck from the House vocabulary include father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, grandson, and granddaughter.

                                The terms would be replaced with parent, child, sibling, parent’s sibling, first cousin, sibling’s child, spouse, parent-in-law, child-in-law, sibling-in-law, stepparent, stepchild, stepsibling, half-sibling, and grandchild. 

                               The prohibitive list which is lowering the hammer on affectionate words like "Mom" and "Dad," and very likely, "Nana" and "Papa." will certainly grow.  Comments like "founding fathers" will require a change, and correspondingly,  "chairman" will become the "chair."  The Second Commandment,  "Honor your Father and your Mother" apparently will be banned from  conversations inside the House, and on congressional stationary.

                                No congressperson should be caught giving a "mother of-pearl" necklace to a beloved daughter (child), lest he or she be hauled before the ethics committee.

                                Quite an undertaking on the agenda for the new 117th congress.  No word on when the vote might come, but right now, Speaker Pelosi and favored colleagues Adam Schiff, Jerold "Fat Jerry" Nadler and Eric Swalwell, who shared pillow talk with a Chinese spy, are advocates of the de-gendering talk as necessary to assuage the offensiveness which the free use of these words and expressions have caused to the gay, lesbian and trans community.  

                                 Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, blasted the idea of gender word reform as nonsense.  In Congress for seven years, Gabbard, a Democrat, had been a candidate for President last year.  She opted not to run for another term in congress though her popularity in the island state remains strong. 

                                  "It's the height of hypocrisy for people who claim to be the champions of rights for women to deny the very biological existence of women," Gabbard said in an interview... "The proposed rule shows how out of touch lawmakers are with reality and the needs of the American people." 

                                   "Their first act as this new Congress could have been to make sure elderly Americans are able to get the COVID vaccine now alongside front-line health care workers,"   Instead of doing something that could actually help save people's lives, she said, they (House members) are choosing instead to say 'You can't say mother or father."                                   

                                    According to Pelosi, the changes are necessary as the House continues to welcome in new members of the Gay and Trans community.  Pelosi, who will turn 81 in March has been a California representative since 1987 and has been speaker, on and off,  since 2013.  She has a net worth of $120 million, according to on line reports.

                                     Kevin McCarthy, California representative who is the minority leader in the House with 211 Republicans and 222 Democrats, summed it up with one word:  "Stupid."

SENORA HILARIA

 

     

                                                    BY WILLIAM  JUNEAU

                                 As we sort through all the stories which have made 2020 a year to be forever remembered, the saga of Hilaria Thomas Baldwin is in the pile, but its historical significance is near the bottom.  But it is there to talk about.

                                 In the final month of 2020, it was revealed that fitness expert Hilaria Baldwin, 36, celebrity wife of actor, Alec Baldwin, had been hoodwinking her associates and fans into believing that she was a Spaniard.  She possessed a comely face, charm and athletic curves, and her rhetoric was interspersed with Spanish inflections and colloquialisms.

                                 Usually the aura of Spanish enchantment is most apparent in the  cultured, goateed gentleman with impressive duds and a baritone voice and with an intriguing Latino name, but not always.  A  lady, comely and alluring with broken English and with the name of "Hilaria," will certainly draw attention from the Hollywood crowd and the hoi polloi. 

                                 Seems like that was how it was for Hillary Thomas Baldwin,  who was born in Bean town-- Boston-- in Massachusetts, but then found that her standing as a fitness expert and author of books, could be enhanced if she acquired the distinction of being a Spanish lady.  Step one was to change her  given name of Hillary to "Hilaria,"  and to mix her English with demure Spanish stumbles and expressions.  On one occasion, while being interviewed, she said she did not remember the English word for "cucumber."  

                                  Soon, Hilaria was perceived by her friends as a full-fledged immigrant from Spain, and in fact, she frequently referred to her roots in Spain, on the island of Mallorca, a place well known for its fashionable lifestyle, resorts and beaches. 

                                 In 2011,  she  met Alec Baldwin, an actor in movies and on television, who at 54 was some 25 years her senior. They were  married the following year  and the volatile and boastful Baldwin was enchanted with his beautiful young bride and he often spoke of her intriguing Spanish ways and of the beautiful island of Mallorca where she was born.  In the passing eight years, the Baldwins became the parents of five children,   Carmen,  Rafael,  Leonardo Angel Charles,  Romeo Alejandro David; and  Eduardo Pau Lucas. Beautiful Spanish names and the illusion of Spanish heritage continued to flower.                         

                                 Hilaria's success and reputation surged. She exhibited ambition and business acumen and became admired and widely known as a fitness guru.   She authored several books on staying fit, and appeared in films.  Her winsome face showed up in newspapers and on the cover of periodicals such as Hola, a Spanish language magazine.

                                  In early December of last year as Hilaria's endeavors were making her rich and famous, a twitter posting from a critic put a dent in her success story, and probably in her bank accounts.      

                                  "You have to admire Hilaria Baldwin's commitment to her decades long grift where she impersonates a Spanish person." the tweet read. The castigation promptly went viral and Hilaria was on the defensive.  Husband Baldwin too, was asked for an explanation and he said he considered the social media a bucket of "crap."    

                                   For most of December and into January of the new year, Mrs. Baldwin was busy defending herself against being a culture fake. Her explanations were everywhere, but for the most part she simply denied that it was her intention to pass herself off as a Spaniard.  Since she was a young girl, she said, she had visited Spain with her parents and it was like a second home to her. 

                                But, she declared, "I am a white woman, born in Boston, Massachusetts.  I am who I am and have always had emotional  ties to Spain." She also explained that her stumble on the English word for cucumber was simply a "brain fart," and was not intended to enhance her Spanish personality.  She said that she and her husband are raising their children to be bilingual in the same way that she was raised.                                    . 

                                 Hilaria is a cultural wannabe, no question about that, and it certainly enhanced her bottom line.  According to today's experts, she is worth more than $10 million.  She has much in common with Rachel Dolezal and Jessica Krug, white women who pretended for many years to be black, and rose to positions of  trust and prominence. Krug was a professor at George Washington University in the nation's capital when in 2019 she admitted that she had been living a lie.  

                                 Like Krug,  Ms Dolezal  was the white daughter of Caucasian parents.  She was active with the NAACP and held a high office in that organization in Spokane, Washington. Her pretense that she was a Black woman went on for decades and came to a stop after her White mother and father came forward and declared that Rachel was a white woman and had always been one.  

                                     It is mucho amusing and entertaining to see how easily one can morph from plain old Hilary of Boston to Hilaria exotica de Mallorca, no?
