Monday's March of the Absurdities: RINOs Herd to a 'Gun Control' Stampede as Lyin' Joe Biden Lies About His Saudi Arabia Trip

The big news over the weekend was that a group of 10 RINOs made a deal with the Democrats on a “gun control” bill that has pretty much nothing to do with gun control:

NEWS: A group of bipartisan senators will release a gun safety framework later today, including enhanced background checks for those under 21, funding for mental health/school safety & state grants for "red flag" laws

axios.comSenators reach gun safety dealIf passed, it would be the most significant gun safety measure in decades.

Oh, there’s some enhanced background checks for gun buyers under 21, but otherwise, the bill is just a new collection of money pots to be doled out to the states for unspecified “mental health” activities (which will result in adding yet another layer of bureaucrat employees in the public school system) and for “school security.” That latter pot of money will be completely wasted by most school systems on things that do not enhance security in any way, shape or form, because that is what our public schools do with money like this.

Then there’s the provision in the bill about “red flag laws.” It’s just another pot of money, but it will go only to states that adopt such laws. Which means Texas won’t get a dollar of it because any Republican in this state that votes for a red flag law will immediately be primaried and defeated in his or her next re-election bid.

And that is as it should be, so long as our public schools insist on giving people like this one, featured by LibsOfTikTok over the weekend, jobs as teachers:

“They [students] make me feel safe” - Queer 6th grade teacher as she recounts coming out to her students

A red flag law would give this person and thousands more unstable than she apparently is the power to literally destroy the lives of any kids who don’t make them feel “safe.”

Look, most teachers are perfectly normal, stable and conscientious people. But, as LibsofTikTok has revealed in great detail over the past couple of years by simply reposting TikTok clips on Twitter, there are many thousands of school teachers who are not stable people at all. Too many of these people have severe emotional and mental issues going on, and feel the need to talk about them all with 6 year-olds so they can receive personal validation and feel safe.

Welp, sorry, you don’t get to feel safe and validated with my 6 year-old child. That is not the purpose of the schools. If that is why you became a teacher, you have chosen the wrong profession.

In concept, a red flag law seems like a workable, possibly even useful rubric. But in practice, woke leftists would inevitably turn it into just one more social experiment aimed at brainwashing and ruining the lives of our nation’s children. Any Republican in any state who votes for implementing this atrocity is a Republican who must be removed from office at the first opportunity. Period.

We can start in Texas with Sen. John Cornyn.

For the record, here are the 10 RINO usual suspects who agreed to do the Democrats’ bidding on this bill:

10 Senate Republicans have already signed on to the deal: —John Cornyn —Thom Tillis —Roy Blunt —Richard Burr —Bill Cassidy —Susan Collins —Lindsey Graham —Rob Portman —Mitt Romney —Pat Toomey

Sen. Cornyn is such a sellout.

Look at the name you don’t see on that list: Lisa Murkowski. She only sells out on supreme court nominations and abortion, apparently.

Let’s move on…

Tell me Ron DeSantis will be re-elected in November in an absolute electoral bloodbath without actually saying it:

Election Wizard 🇺🇸 @ElectionWiz

Florida governor’s race May fundraising totals: DeSantis - $10.2 million Crist - $1 million Fried - $302,528 Gov. DeSantis is now up to $124 million total raised for his reelection campaign and has $112 million cash on hand.

DeSantis has $124 million on-hand for a campaign in which he will likely spend less than $50 million or so. That’s gonna create a pretty nice nest egg for a 2024 presidential run.

The nominal President of the United States, folks:

Biden doesn't know if he's coming or going to Saudi Arabia

trib.alJoe Biden hasn’t decided to visit Saudi Arabia, then says he IS goingPresident Biden was asked by reporters if had any plans to go to Saudi Arabia. The president said that he had not decided but seconds later he confirmed that he was going on a trip there.

Here’s an excerpt from that story:

President Joe Biden told reporters that he hadn't decided whether to visit Saudi Arabia to beg for more oil before seconds later saying he was indeed planning a trip there.

'Have you decided whether or not to go to Saudi Arabia,' Biden is asked by a reporter. 

'No, not yet,' the president replies on camera. 

But moments later as Biden spoke on the tarmac in Los Angeles at the foot of Air Force One, the president said that he was in fact going. 

'What would be holding up the decision at this point? Are there commitments from the Saudi's you're waiting for?'

'It happens to be a larger meeting taking place in Saudi Arabia. That's the reason I'm going', he said. 'It has to do with national security with the Israelis. It has to do with much larger issues than the energy.' 

[End]

Trust me: When he wakes up this morning, he won’t even know what Saudi Arabia is. Every day is a new day for our Weekend-at-Bernie’s potus.

Speaking about that upcoming trip to Saudi land, he also made this claim:

The Hill @thehill

“The commitments from the Saudis don’t relate to anything having to do with energy,” the president said his possible trip to Saudi Arabia.

trib.alBiden says any potential Saudi trip would not relate to energyPresident Biden said Saturday he has not yet decided about making a possible trip to Saudi Arabia but said any potential visit to the kingdom would not relate to energy. But in answering a follow-u…

That’s a lie right there, folks. Oil is all any trip to Saudi Arabia by any U.S. president is ever all about. There is no other reason to go to Saudi Arabia, especially given the fact that this particular president referred to the Kingdom as a “pariah nation” just a year ago.

How do we know Joe Biden is lying? His lips are moving.

That is all.
