Rep. Hank Johnson Says MAGA Wants Black Americans ‘Confined’ to ‘Picking Cotton’

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) believes President Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement wants black Americans “confined” back to “picking cotton,” making the remarks during a virtual event this week.

“The ways in which they can kill public education, from defunding it from a federal level, and then also enabling state monies and local monies to flow into the private for-profit school setup,” Johnson began.

“That is going that is ongoing,” he continued, asserting that it is a “recipe to make education unavailable to black people.”

“And where does that then leave us? It puts us back to when America was great and we were picking cotton and all of it — we’re doing the productivity that they are putting the — my Latino brothers and sisters who migrate here to do that work, because we are not suited intellectually to do it anymore,” he said.

“But they would have us back confined to doing that kind of work. So we gotta watch out for where we are headed and it’s the people that will save our democracy,” Johnson continued. “That will stop this movement towards the past that Trump has us hurtling towards.”

Dems Are Hoping to F-Bomb Their Way Into America’s Hearts

Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is taking a personal day to catalogue Pinterest photos of various buttercream offerings. 

I hope that all of you who live in federal time slave states are adjusting to whatever sort of springing it was you did on Saturday night. That must have been a lot after the rigors of celebrating International Women’s Day. So. Many. Sandwiches.

My friend Ed Morrissey did a deep dive at HotAir about the present state of Daylight Saving (NO “S”!) Time, and whether the government is going to do something about it. Given my notorious lack of faith in the federal government, I know whatever it does regarding DST will just make it worse. 

We’ve been spending a lot of time lately examining the thoroughly wretched state of the once-functional Democratic Party. The struggle is real for present-day Dems. It’s an especially rough go for the Dem water-carriers in the mainstream media. Once the water is carried, the lipstick has to be put on the pig, and they’re forever running low on that these days. 

The kinds of things that they are forced to spin for their masters at the Democratic National Committee aren’t exactly flattering. This is from something that Rick wrote over the weekend:

For Democrats, the experience is particularly unnerving. It has unmoored many of them from civilized society and sent them on a search for “authenticity.” As Politico reports, “one unifying thread as they try to invigorate their connection to the American voter has been a reach for profanity.”

You know, I have to give credit where credit is due: This is definitely a novel concept for bouncing back after a major electoral defeat. It’s certainly more cost-effective than traditional political outreach methods like television advertising or direct mail. And who needs fresh policy ideas when you can bond with the voters by simply wagging a salty tongue?

I’ll admit to being a little torn here. Lately, I think it would be nice to go for a day or two without writing another “Yeesh, look what the Democrats are up to now” column. Then again, that’s a rich vein of material to keep mining. There’s also the fact that this particular iteration of the Democratic Party is so filled with lunatics that there is some variety to the expressions of madness. 

To the surprise of no one, Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas shows up in this story. She is rapidly establishing herself as the Queen of the Democratic toilet. If the Dems ever do eventually come up with any coherent plans for emerging from the political exile that they are in at the moment, there’s a good chance that Crockett’s perpetually open foul mouth will interfere with them. I’ve got a feeling about this one. In fact, I told Paula last week that we might want to get more pictures of Crockett for our photo library because I’m sure we’re going to be writing about her a lot in the coming months. 

None of it will be flattering, by the way.

Democrats Won’t Be Happy Until They Destroy Every Great City

I used to work in the city of Boston, Mass., and felt relatively safe in the city, even at night. It’s a great city—or at least it was—full of history. In a lot of ways, I miss being there every day (it’s been many years)… in other ways, not so much. Frankly, I really don’t think I’d be comfortable there anymore. Why? Because the city’s Democrat mayor, Michelle Wu, has officially lost her mind. 

In her latest far-left scheme to destroy what’s left of this once-great city, she’s implemented a mind-boggling “no-arrest” policy for drug dealers. You read that right—drug dealers are getting a free pass in Boston now, courtesy of the local Democratic Party.

This disastrous policy, cooked up by Wu alongside Police Commissioner Michael Cox and Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden, represents everything wrong with progressive governance. They’re calling it an “evolution” in tackling drug problems. 

“At the end of the day, this issue is about sobriety,” said Hayden. “Incarceration is not the answer to help get them sober, and if we don’t get them sober, then they’re coming back.

“If we don’t address the underlying issue, then we don’t solve the problem, and they will continue to commit whatever crime they were committing, whether it’s drug use, whether it’s drug dealing to support the habit, whether it’s shoplifting, whether it’s robbing somebody, whatever it may be, that’s what we’re trying to deal with,” Hayden added.

While Wu and her squad of enablers pat themselves on the back for their “compassionate” approach, Boston’s streets are turning into open-air drug markets. Local business owners are watching their livelihoods circle the drain as customers avoid the increasingly dangerous downtown area. At a recent business roundtable, desperate store owners spelled it out plain and simple: the drug situation “scares the customer to come in town and buy stuff.”

Sound familiar?

Tim Walz Left Stumped When Asked Who’s Running the Democratic Party – Then He Gives an Unexpected Answer

Despondent Democrats getting rolled by the Trump Administration got a cold dose of reality from their former nominee for vice president earlier this week after he nearly face-planted on national TV.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz appeared on CNN’s “The Arena with Kasie Hunt” on Wednesday to discuss President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress the previous night. During their conversation, Hunt asked an excellent question that perfectly reflects the quandary Democrats are in right now.

“Sir, who do you think the leader of the Democratic Party is right now?” she queried.

After hearing this question, a stumped Tim Walz paused for a few brief moments before giving this surprising answer:

“I think the voting public, right now, is what I would say,” he responded while nervously chuckling. “We are not going to have a charismatic leader ride in and save us from this.”

Vote-Buying Scheme Exposed: Stacey Abrams Admits on MSNBC Biden EPA Handed Her $2 Billion to Buy New Home Appliances to Reduce Electric Bills Just Months Before the Election

In a jaw-dropping admission on MSNBC, failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams proudly revealed that the Biden administration’s EPA funneled nearly $2 billion into a program she spearheaded to replace home appliances—just in time for an election year.

During an interview with left-wing host Chris Hayes, Abrams proudly recounted how the Biden administration greenlit her project, Vitalizing DeSoto, a so-called “climate justice” initiative that handed out free home appliances to a select group of residents in a small Georgia town.

But the real bombshell? This taxpayer-funded windfall was part of a larger effort to implement the Democrats’ radical climate agenda under the guise of “helping” Americans with their electric bills.

President Donald Trump, in a fiery rebuke, called out the scheme for what it is—a politically motivated slush fund designed to curry favor with voters using taxpayer dollars.

“Take a $1.9 billion to recently created Decarbonization of Homes Committee headed up—and we know she’s involved. Just at the last moment, the money was passed over by a woman named Stacey Abrams. Have you ever heard of her?” Trump said during his joint address to Congress.

Rather than deny her involvement, Abrams openly confirmed it, boasting that her pilot program successfully provided government-funded appliances to 75% of DeSoto’s residents.

‘The View’ Co-Host Sunny Hostin Says Democrats Must Be Willing to ‘Fight and Die’ to Defeat Donald Trump

With every passing week, The View co-host Sunny Hostin is becoming more and more unhinged.

Hostin, who is known for making her fellow left-wing panelists seem like moderates, said on Friday’s edition of The View that Democrats must be willing to follow the civil rights generation in being willing to “fight and die” in order to defeat Donald Trump.

She made the comments when discussing the behavior of Texas Representative Al Green, who was kicked out and later censured for disrupting President Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday evening.

“They should be ashamed of themselves,” Hostin said of the Democrats. “They all should have walked out with him.”

She went on:

They don’t know how to fight and be part of an opposition party. Representative Green gave them the example. The Democrats are not meeting the moment.

It is very clear that Medicaid is on the table. It is very clear that Social Security is on the table. It is very clear that people will die.

The Baby Boomers, the civil rights generation — they knew what they had to do. They were willing to fight and die for their rights.

This generation of Congress, they are not meeting the moment. This is an existential crisis.

REVEALED: Secret Resistance Agreement Between Blue States, Left-Wing Groups and NYC Law Firms to Conduct Coordinated Lawfare Against DOGE and Elon Musk

A secret resistance agreement between 14 states to conduct coordinated lawfare against DOGE and Elon Musk was obtained by the Oversight Project.

DOGE says it has saved approximately $105 billion in a “combination of asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings,” and other workforce reductions.

The Democrats are angry that DOGE is saving American taxpayers money, so they devised a scheme to stop Elon Musk and his team.

There are currently nearly a dozen lawsuits challenging DOGE over its authority, data access, and privacy laws.

The agreement obtained by the Oversight Project was signed less than a month after DOGE was created.

“The Parties have agreed that they have a common interest in developing legal strategies to challenge the creation and actions of the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”) and a common interest in existing or future investigative, regulatory, administrative, and judicial actions or inactions, including but not limited to any administrative or judicial proceedings related to or arising from those legal strategies (“Matters of Common Interest”),” the document stated.

The agreement revealed plans between New Mexico, California, Michigan, Massachusetts and other blue states to develop legal strategies to wage war on DOGE and “the actions by Elon Musk.”

The Dems’ Game Has Been Exposed…

Dems and Blob Together

“Why be a Democrat if you can’t retire with millions of dollars? Hell hath no fury like a politician exposed!” 

– Dinesh D’Souza

If the Jacobins of Paris, 1794, had not been bum-rushed to the “national razor,” perhaps they would have acted-out as clownishly in defeat as America’s Democratic Party does right now after their election debacle of 2024. Imagine Robespierre in Harlequin drag riding backwards on a goat over the Pont Neuf to do handsprings and a juggling act in the Parvis de Notre-Dame. Alas, foiled by the guillotine. . . .

Now imagine Rep. Al Green (9th Texas Dist) shaking his cane and hollering curses at the rostrum in Tuesday night’s joint session of Congress. Two days later, he carried on again in the well of Congress as Speaker Johnson read out his bill of censure and a motley mob of Mr. Green’s fellow Dems gathered ‘round to sing We Shall Overcome — the once stately Civil Rights movement reduced to abject farce. Such things are really happening.

The Dems’ game has been revealed. The revenue stream for their national wrecking operations is suddenly cut off and it’s game-over. Everybody can see how this worked now. You funnel vast amounts of US taxpayer dollars into Non-Governmental Organizations, NGOs, spin off more NGOs below them, and add extra layers of subsidiary NGOs, and all of them pay their staffs of Dem Party foot-soldiers for do-nothing jobs — leaving plenty of time for riots and real-estate investing — a splendid racket that worked for years to support the insane antics of the Woke-Jacobin revolution. (And you paid for it.)

The catch is: an org that gets government money is hardly non-governmental. Wouldn’t you think there’s some law against that? Thus, Exhibit A: in September 2022, Dem luminary John Podesta was put in-charge of a $369-billion fund out of “Joe Biden’s” so-called Inflation Reduction Act, tagged for climate change action. Conceptualize further: that’s three-hundred-seventy-nine-thousand-million dollars (!), a lot of millions, disbursed among tens of thousands of NGOs and their contractors. It boggles the mind that the government could even manage to cream-off such a fortune out our nation’s alleged aggregate productivity.

It was, in reality, money conjured out of thin air: debt. Before long, you are going to find out where it all went, and the picture will not be a pretty one: Into the NGO laundromat and straight out to Democratic Party members’ bank accounts, one of the greatest grifts in our history. Of course, your grandchildren are on the hook for all the debt behind it. Do you think our DC Federal District judges would serve better presiding over these matters than spending years hunting down J-6 “paraders”?

Without that bonanza of conjured money for laying trips on the rest of us, the Democratic Party has nothing, not a single credible idea, not any plausible leadership, really no reason to exist.

Another Democrat Fraud: Thicko Jasmine Crockett attended Elite St. Louis Day School with $35,000 Tuition then Rhodes College – Her Life Is Anything But What She Tries to Portray to the Public

Jasmine Crockett education includes attending Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School in St’ Louis, Missouri, where she was raised.

Mary Institute and Country Day School is one of the top private schools in the St. Louis region. The school includes students from kindergarten through high school. The annual tuition at the school is $34,900 a year.

The school has a very impressive reputation. It is surprising that Jasmine is one of its former students, considering her struggle with the English language and her disregard for respectful dialogue with her peers. But somehow, Jasmine made her way through the prestigious school of mostly well-to-do white kids.

After she left high school, Jasmine attended Rhodes College in Memphis Tennessee, a national four-year, private, coeducational, liberal arts, residential college.

During her time at Rhodes College Jasmine Crockett said she and 17 students suffered a “series of hate crimes” at the school. The alleged harassment included racist letters that were sent to the 18 minority students. Crockett also claimed their cars were damaged. There is no proof that this ever took place.

The Memphis Police Department (MPD) told The Tennessee Star earlier that they had no record of Crockett reporting a crime at Rhodes College in 2002. However, the MPD suggested that the college may have the information if MPD was not involved in the investigation and raised the possibility of another student filing a police report instead of Crockett.

Jasmine graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration in 2003. She later somehow received a law degree.

And the rest is history.

All the LOLs: Hakeem Jeffries Says Trump Is ‘Losing’ Because Project 2025 or Something

The more I see of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the more I’m convinced that Nancy Pelosi put him in place to make the end phase of her tenure atop the House Democrats look brilliant by comparison. 

Granny Boxwine was one of the most powerful House speakers in American history. A lesser politician would have been out on his or her ear after the shellacking that the Democrats took in the 2010 midterms. She not only survived and remained minority leader, but hung around long enough to become speaker again. True, she was helped by the fact that we let members of Congress stay in office until they drop dead during a floor speech, but she’s also a political force who few in the Democratic Party are willing to go against, even now that she’s “just” a congresswoman. She did kind of limp towards the finish line at the end of her second stint as speaker, though. 

There was never any doubt that she would hand pick her successor, and she needed one who would make Democrats miss her being in charge.
