The natural law enjoins us to love devotedly and to defend the country in which we were born, and in which we were brought up, so that every good citizen hesitates not to face death for his native land…. We are bound, then, to love dearly the country whence we have received the means of engagement this mortal life affords

Despite his non-handling of the recent train derailments, which have poisoned American towns, Biden’s Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg is amply qualified for his job. He’s been rear-ended quite a few times and probably pulled a train or two in his day. 😉
And no; I don’t really care at all about Buttigieg’s sexual proclivities – beyond the inherent humor in the intersection of his sexual preferences and last name. The only reason I’ve decided to promulgate this bit of political humor is because Biden and Co. do care that he’s a queer. Indeed, it the odds on bet that Buttigieg’s being a queer is the primary, if not sole, reason that he was appointed as Transportation Secretary.

According to even the strongly Left-biased Politico, reporters of all stripes are discontent with White House Press Secretary. Karine Jean-Pierre’s seemingly utter incompetence and inability or unwillingness to answer questions in anything resembling a coherent and substantive manner.
“At a certain point it wouldn’t surprise me if people started voting with their feet,” one White House reporter told POLITICO, predicting the lack of news from the briefings could result in waning attendance of reporters.
“She is so focused on not making a mistake that she doesn’t let herself speak freely,” another reporter said. “A lot of her responses end up becoming… it appears that she’s reading from a page.”
Frankly, I just don’t understand their apparent shock at this or their willingness to complain publicly about it. Jean-Pierre isjust a mentally damaged, foreign, Black, lesbian. That is, insofar as the Biden Administration is concerned, all that she is. She’s a diversity hire, one that ticks almost all of the right boxes for their agenda. She’s just a token, exactly like Kamala Harris is. And, just like Harris, Jean-Pierre is largely left unsupported and largely unsupervised because her holding her position is what is important, not her being able to successfully fulfill the duties thereof.
In actual point of fact and in an act of total disrespect for her and the role she’s been placed in, simply because she’s just a token diversity hire, those who normally ensure that the Press Secretary is up to speed, may not trust her abilities enough to do their jobs.
And that, My Fellow Americans, is perfectly normal. Anyone who’s had to deal with diversity hires has learned to the need to- and how to work around them and mitigate the damage that they’ll do. So, the Press shouldn’t be shocked by Jean-Pierre’s performance at all.

Biden’s latest Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre ticked so many boxes for Biden’s attempt at a regime. She’s a mentally damaged, Black, lesbian, foreigner with a solid history of promulgating propaganda for various Leftist cabals, e.g., MoveOn.org, NBC, and MSNBC. Sadly, however, none of that can ever trump actual competency. But then, Democrats these days almost always denigrate ability as being based upon America’s “lamentable and horrific” institutionally racist, heteronormative, ableist, patriarchy.
Then again, in Jean-Pierre’s defense, it would take a spin doctor and huckster of epic skills to give cogent and positive answers to questions about what comes out of Biden’s mouth.

The Democrats have installed Ketanji Brown in the SCOTUS – a foregone conclusion surrounded by quasi-useless political kabuki and posturing for the electorate. But what was the point of it? She’s not particularly well-qualified and can’t or won’t even provide a definition of “woman” when asked.
It Was Actually A Secondary Point
While, exactly like choosing Kamala Harris as Biden’s Vice President, Brown’s race and gender – irony in the epic tier – was the primary point in her nomination, it was important for Brown to show her allegiance to LGBT+ front, including the anti-science dog-whistle of referring to biologists as opposed to psychologists in her negative answer.
For too long, our government, our courts haven’t looked like America. I believe it’s time that we have a court that reflects the full talents and greatness of our nation with a nominee of extraordinary qualifications, and that we inspire all young people to believe that they can one day serve their country at the highest level.
Of course, like almost everything a Democrat says, Biden’s statement was false. Black’s make up approx. 13% of the population, so they’re already “over-represented” in the SCOTUS, necessarily so given the small number of Justices if one places any value in race. But true, Brown being a woman does now split the genders of the court 5:4, which is as close to what America looks like gender-wise as one can get. Still though, pretty much a wash to anyone who doesn’t believe that minority over-representation is still somehow both under-representation and important in and of itself – in other words, important only to the sorts who vote for Democrats.
Why Brown’s Virtue Signalling Matters
Firstly, while fear-inducing, Brown’s trans virtue signalling should be taken with a grain of salt. It’s not uncommon for applicants to lie during job interviews and that’s exactly what confirmation hearings are. Of course she was going to say what Democrat Senators wanted to hear from her. So there’s that.
But, anyone in the legal profession, especially any judge who can’t or won’t declare the definition of “woman” is a clear and present danger to the women in America. America has a number of laws, regulations, and norms solely designed to protect and privilege women and men choosing to “identify” as women have been encroaching on most, if not all of them, more often than not to the detriment of our womenfolk.
And how, pray tell, can we trust a Justice to opine correctly if they can’t or won’t provide or abide by the definition of “woman?” And, frankly, it’s plausible with the way things have been going – see Dolezal and Warren – the potential problem could expand even further.
~*~
So yeah, I’m unsurprised but quite unhappy with both the nomination and confirmation of Ketanji Brown to the highest court in America. Not because she’s Left-wing, though she is, since she’s replacing another Left-wing Justice. Certainly not because she’s either Black or presumably a woman since I see neither harm no value in her race or gender. I’m unhappy because her nomination and confirmation lends legitimacy to Tokenism and her verbal prostration to the Left’s LGBT+ front potentially puts the basis of our legal system in jeopardy.
Please remember that even minority and dissenting opinions by SCOTUS Justices have, can, and will be referenced in lower courts to further one side of a case or another.
But, maybe Brown was just “code-switching” and voicing what the Democrats wanted to hear so she could land a sweet, lifetime job that she can’t in all practical respects be fired from. So, there’s hope.

So, the people running the Dems’ presidential campaign have chosen Kamala Harris to be Creepy Uncle Joe Biden’s running mate and Vice Presidential candidate. This makes Harris the singularly most visible and overt token of these degenerate, degrading, and disgusting “Anti-Racism” times.
Her nomination isn’t even Affirmative Action because there was never any thought to “all else being equal.” No! The Dems explicitly said that Race and Gender were hard and fast prerequisites for the being given the nomination.
So, Kamala Harris is just their Token Negro and Token Woman and nothing else or more than that. And that is current state of thought and belief among those sorts most likely to vote Democrat in the upcoming 2020 elections.
