LAMONT'S LAMENT: Another Liberal Flip-Flop Tale...

Poor Ned Lamont. He condemned Sen. Lieberman for condemning Pres. Clinton in 1998, according to the NY TIMES (see link):

"You don't go to the floor of the Senate and turn this into a media spectacle,"
Mr. Lamont said of Mr. Lieberman's remarks eight years ago this month.
"You
go up there, you sit down with one of your oldest friends and say, 'You're
embarrassing yourself, you're embarrassing your presidency, you're embarrassing
your family, and it's got to stop.' " he said.


That was last week. However, back in 1998, Mr. Lamont emailed Sen. Joe these tidbits :

"I supported your statement because Clinton's behavior was outrageous: a
Democrat had to stand up and state as much, and I hoped that your statement was
the beginning of the end," and "We've made up our minds that Clinton did wrong,
confessed to his sin, maybe should be censured for lying -- and let's move
on..."


Hey, isn't 1998 around the time MoveOn was founded? Let's see what happens in the general election, but I don't see a bright political future for Mr. Lamont, or any candidate supported by MoveOn.

PS: I know this is a little behind the curve, so to speak. I wrote this 5 days ago, but just posted it here.

Lamont, Kerry, Clinton, they all don't see anything wrong with having different opinions on a subject depending on which group they're trying to massage. Hypocrisy is a plank in the party platform.

The Biden Record, and the Democrats Who Supported It, Pt. 4: How Biden Blew Up the Economy With Inflation

   The US economy is in chaos. This is not "spin," or "opinion," but a fact. Some people aren't feeling it as hard as others, because they were well-off before the inflation started. Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come, and it will affect those "well-off" people, to a greater degree than it does currently, as the recession sets in. It also will present a crisis for government, as the interest rates for the chronic borrowing that sustains all of their largesse double, triple, or even quadruple. How did we get here, after what was shaping up as a robust recovery from the pandemic response inspired recession?    When Pres. Biden was elected, almost every policy that had been in place was reversed. We've looked at the disatrous results of this on the southern border , but what's happened to our economy has impacted many more Americans. It started out on day one, when Biden killed the KeystoneXL pipeline, followed by freezing new federal leases ...

HATE FROM THE MOUTHS OF CHILDREN: AUTUM (AUTUMN?) ASHANTE AND THE GAEDE TWINS

Image
AUTUM ASHANTE LAMB AND LYNX GAEDE I hate to have to write this, but it has to be written. Beautiful children's minds are being corrupted with racial hatred, and their parents are profiting from it. The Gaede twins have a pop band, and Miss Ashante is a poetic prodigy. The parents promote their children's careers. These young girls are the true victims of racism, because they are predestined to continue this cycle of hate. Autum Ashante (-or is it spelled Autumn Ashante ?) is a 7-year old child, home-schooled by her parents (according to the NY POST -free registration required- see below for more on this). I heard it reported on MSNBC that they are members of the Nation of Islam, but I can't confirm that elsewhere. This young lady gave a recital of her poem, "White Nationalism Put U in Bondage." Some excerpts: "Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse."..."They took the gold, the wisdom and all the storytellers. They took th...

The Biden Debacle Part II

  In my previous post, I wrote about Pres. Biden's disastrous policy at the border, as well as it's impact on the spread of COVID. I also noted his false promise of bipartisanship, and embrace of the far left agenda. This post will deal with some of that agenda, including it's impact on the economy, law enforcement, race relations, education and the military. They're all interconnected in no small way, and Pres. Biden is making a mess of them all. With the left wing ascendant in his own party, he has found it easier to go along with them, rather than work with Republicans, even when they propose policies that a majority of Democrats support. The economy was recovering before Biden assumed office, and yet he continues to push a long wish list of leftist policies in the name of "recovery." The extension of unemployment benefits is a good example of how they can backfire. While he denies that the extra payments were keeping people from returning to work, the sta...
