This is what comes from one party rule SAN FRANCISCO — State Sen. Leland Yee, a prominent figure in California’s Democratic legislative majority, was arrested in a federal corruption investigation Wednesday along with an ostentatious gangster known as “Shrimp Boy” — who insisted that he had gone straight — and two dozen of their alleged associates.

California Democrats refuse to oust criminal state senators [Darleen Click]
Multiple-felony conviction? Federal corruption charges? Pffffft! Why, just put ’em on paid leave of absence so we can keep our dictatorial powers. Democratic lawmakers in California deflected a Republican resolution on Thursday calling for the expulsion of a state senator who was convicted of eight felonies, a move Republicans say was aimed at preserving Democrats’ two-thirds majority. Democratic State Senator Roderick Wright, who represents parts of Los Angeles and the

Democrats piss on the families of Benghazi victims [Darleen Click] UPDATED
Unconscionable. During the second portion of a House Oversight and Government Reform hearing about Benghazi Thursday on Capitol Hill, the majority of Democrats on the Committee left the room and refused to listen to the testimony of Patricia Smith and Charles Woods. Ms. Smith is the mother of Sean Smith, an information management officer killed in the 9/11 Benghazi attack. Charles Woods is the father of Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods,

Sheriff Terry Maketa, El Paso County, CO: “Democrats are threatening sheriffs’ salaries over opposition to gun control bills” [Darleen Click]
Here’s the podcast from the Saturday, March 9, KVOR Jeff Crank Show. Maketa’s segment starts at the 143:22 mark. The following portion is what I’ve transcribed, so any mistakes are my own.

Democrats revive their Jim Crow roots [Darleen Click]
Once a racist, always a racist “Everytime [sic] I think the Democratic race card players could not get more vile, more deranged, more patronizingly demeaning to blacks, someone manages to defy even my vivid imagination,” thunders blogger William Jacobson. He’s referring to a passage in a Washington Post editorial about critics of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice–a passage that in our view is useful for its clarity. […] The Post focuses

Democrats Behaving Badly: “Do you wanna get into this?” [Darleen Click]
This was the Joe Isuzu Biden endgame that Ryan just didn’t buy into — Two Los Angeles, California Democrats “debated” last night A Congressional debate between two incumbent Democrats – Brad Sherman and Howard Berman – turned into a loud nose-to-nose shouting match, with Mr. Sherman roughly grabbing Mr. Berman around the shoulder, shouting, “Do you want to get into this?” With shouts of “Oh my god” rising from the

When Democrats oppose speaking “truth to power” … [Darleen Click]
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York, gave the closing benedictions at both the Republican Convention last week and at the Democratic Convention last night. I assume that Democrats who invited him to their No-to-God-and-Israel shindig expected him to tone down that godbothering, Catholic stuff he did at the RNC. And when he didn’t, it appears that every network but Fox cut-off the prayer, whereupon left-libs again demonstrated their

Which name do you immediately recognize? Todd Akin or Kerry Gauthier? [Darleen Click]
Todd Akin, of course, is the brain-damaged Republican candidate (the non-TEA Party primary candidate that Democrats spent $1.5 million to help win) who put his foot in his mouth. Kerry Gauthier is (and you’d never know it if you only read the headlines) the Democratic Minnesota State Legislator caught with something else in his mouth. Democratic leaders in Minnesota are demanding a state lawmaker withdraw from his re-election bid after

Stasi Democrats [Darleen Click]
This has everything to do with naked intimidation Politicians recognize they give up a degree of privacy when they run for office. But Democrats are testing the outer limits of that understanding with a practice that raises questions about when campaign tracking becomes something more like stalking. While most serious campaigns on both sides use campaign trackers — staffers whose job is to record on video every public appearance and
