Happy early Thanksgiving, Judge Shelley Joseph!

The card-carrying millionaire fellow traveler has a lot to be thankful for this year, and at the top of the gratitude list is that she’s a Democrat.

Every day, in every way, Democrats prove that if it weren’t for double standards, they would have no standards whatsoever.

And today’s poster gal for the fact that the rules just do not apply to Democrats – especially if they’re pampered pukes in multiple protected classes – is Judge Shelley Joseph.

Consider her uber-woke resume:

Former member of the Democrat State Committee.

Raised in People’s Republic of Brookline, where she served on the Brookline Commission on the Status of Women.

Bill Clinton campaign worker after law school.

Campaign contributor to Deval Patrick and Martha Coakley, among others.

Now lives in super chic South Natick.

And so it is only appropriate that the Supreme Judicial Court has finally reinstated her as a district court judge, now that the mid-term elections are over and Thanksgiving nears.

This legacy limousine liberal had been suspended (with pay). Her paid vacation began after she was indicted for letting a twice-deported illegal alien Dominican career criminal arrested on drug-possession charges out the back door of her courthouse in Newton. That way he could avoid an ICE agent in the lobby and was able to continue his one-amigo crime wave against the American people.

Opening the border to millions of these drug-dealing Third World savages is all part of the Democrats’ plan for the fundamental transformation of America. And Judge Joseph is, may I remind you, a proud Democrat.

She was indicted on obstruction-of-justice charges by the feds – when Donald Trump was president. Once Dementia Joe was selected as president, it was inevitable that the charges would be dismissed because… Democrats.

It didn’t matter that the First Circuit Court of Appeals had upheld the indictment after she appealed. It didn’t mean a thing that she was guilty far beyond a reasonable doubt. All that mattered was… Democrats.

Naturally, as a Beautiful Person she hasn’t suffered in the slightest for her crimes against the Republic. She never had to pay her attorneys – first the state picked up the tab, and then when that ended after inquiries from this newspaper, her attorneys decided to work “pro bono” – wink wink nudge nudge.

Likewise, despite not having set foot in a state courtroom since April 2019, she’s still been paid. In fact, her pay as gone through the roof – she was making $181,328 a year when she obstructed justice, and now she’s up to $207,855.

Indictment, where is thy sting?

The federal charges were thrown out in September – by a hack-fed prosecutor from Boston who’s since drifted down to Providence. But she wasn’t reinstated as a judge until after the mid-terms because… Democrats.

Have you noticed how much news that might have adversely affected Democrat chances has broken in the last 10 days, post-election?

Remember the raid on Donald Trump’s mansion and how he might have been stashing nuclear secrets at Mar-a-Lago – turns out that story was as phony as the Russian collusion hoax.

Then there was the probe of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani – never mind!

Then there was the collapse of Democrat mega-donor Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto-Ponzi scam – but not until two days after the election, after his $40 million in checks to Democrat Deep Staters had already been cashed.

And remember those two New York Democrat lawyers from protected classes who firebombed an NYPD police car – they were finally disbarred, right after the polls closed.

And now, Judge Shelley Joseph is cleared for a return to the bench, because… Democrats.

Did I mention that Joseph was nominated to her sinecure by Gov. Charlie Baker, who claims to be a Republican even as he nominated lawless radical trust-funded American-hating leftists like Joseph to the bench?

Just how criminal was her behavior? Joseph has admitted she kept the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent out of her courtroom, even though he was just trying to do his job of keeping America safe by making sure these freeloading foreign fiends are deported back to the Third World hellholes where they belong.

Then she violated state court rules by ordering the recording of the hearings turned off for 52 seconds, while she huddled with the career criminal’s public defender about how to help the undocumented Democrat.

The lawyer asked the white-guilt-consumed, virtue-signaling fat-cat Democrat judge to let his client “go back downstairs” so he could flee and continue fundamentally transforming America with his crime spree.

Originally, the illegal was identified as Jose Medina-Perez, but then it turned out that wasn’t his real name, that he was in fact Oscar Manuel Peguero.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before….

So now that the election is over, Shelley Joseph can be returned to the bench – just in time for Thanksgiving.

I’ve said this before, but I’ll repeat my prediction. The only question now for Judge Shelley Joseph is whether she’ll be promoted to, say, the SJC, by Gov.-elect Maura Healey, or whether she’ll be moving on to the federal bench courtesy of Dementia Joe.

Because she has performed services for her party above and beyond the call of duty.

Because… Democrats.

 

 

Russia is ready for high-level meetings with the United States regarding strategic stability if Washington is ready, Moscow’s deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov was quoted in state media as saying on Friday.

He also said Russia does not rule out new contacts with the United States after upcoming talks in Cairo on the New START nuclear arms treaty.

After winning control of the U.S. House of Representatives, Republicans said on Thursday that investigating President Joe Biden and his family’s business dealings will be their top oversight priority when they formally take power next year.

Representative James Comer, a Kentucky Republican who is expected to chair the House Oversight and Reform Committee, told reporters that the panel will investigate bank reports and claims by anonymous whistleblowers that he said show connections between the president and the business activities of his 52-year-old businessman son, Hunter Biden.

“I want to be clear. This is an investigation of Joe Biden. That’s where the committee will focus in this next Congress,” Comer told reporters.

“This committee will evaluate the status of Joe Biden’s relationship with his family’s foreign partners and whether he is a president who is compromised or swayed by foreign dollars and influence,” Comer said, saying that the committee has obtained two suspicious activity reports filed by major banks.

A White House statement accused House Republicans of planning to go after Biden “with politically motivated attacks chock full of long-debunked conspiracy theories.”

“President Biden is not going to let these political attacks distract him from focusing on Americans’ priorities,” said the statement by Ian Sams, spokesman for the White House Counsel’s office.

Hunter Biden has for years been the focus of unrelenting attacks by former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies who have accused him of wrongdoing relating to Ukraine and China, among other matters. He also publicly detailed his struggles with substance abuse and has worked as a lobbyist, lawyer, investment banker and artist.

Hunter Biden disclosed in December 2020 that federal prosecutors in Delaware were investigating his tax affairs, though they have not charged him with any crime. He has denied wrongdoing.

Hunter Biden never held a position in the White House or on his father’s campaign. The president has said he has not discussed foreign business dealings with his son and has said his Justice Department would have independence in any investigation of a member of his family.

The House Republicans’ probe will begin to unfold next year, as the U.S. political calendar heads toward the 2024 presidential election, in which Biden said he currently intends to seek re-election.

More than a dozen House Republicans appeared alongside Comer at a Wednesday press conference, many of them staunch allies of Trump, who announced his own 2024 White House run on Tuesday.

Republicans outlined the coming investigation in terms that appeared to echo allegations leveled against Trump by Democrats, who investigated the business dealings of the former president and his family.

Trump was impeached twice by Congress, once for allegedly pressuring Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate Biden and his son ahead of the 2020 presidential election, and once over the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol.

Trump was acquitted by Senate Republicans both times.

The looming House Oversight investigation of Biden will coincide with a House Judiciary Committee probe into allegations of political influence at the Justice Department under Biden.

Comer and Representative Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican who is expected to chair the judiciary panel, pledged to oversee evidence-based investigations that conform to the Constitution.

Foram quatro anos lutando contra um nível avassalador de fake news, vendo jornalistas apanharem na rua, terem seus dados vazados e serem atacados massivamente nas redes sociais – as jornalistas mulheres foram alvo preferido dos extremistas. Mas minha sensação é que, passado nem um mês da eleição de Lula, esses anos de governo de extrema direita foram apagados da memória de muitos de meus colegas, que voltaram às suas raízes antipetistas mais mesquinhas.

Há alguns dias, Eliane Cantanhêde viralizou nas redes ao questionar qual seria o papel da nova primeira-dama. O questionamento é legítimo, mas a forma como foi feito revela o quão rasa e preconceituosa pode ser uma opinião travestida de análise política. A jornalista fez uma comparação ridícula entre Janja Lula da Silva, esposa do presidente eleito, e Ruth Cardoso, primeira- dama do governo FHC. Para ela, a influência política de Janja é excessiva, enquanto Ruth – aparentemente, exercendo um papel mais adequado pela régua de Cantanhêde – “não tinha voz nas decisões políticas, se tinha, era a quatro chaves, dentro do quarto do casal”.

É cansativo ter que, em 2022, reiterar que neste século as mulheres podem e devem se envolver politicamente, especialmente quando são filiadas ao partido e militantes. Cantanhêde tentou se justificar com o inexistente “machismo reverso” e questionou: “E se fosse o contrário? A mulher presidente com um marido interferindo em tudo?”, ao responder a uma crítica do professor de Direito da FGV Thiago Amparo. Ele bem a lembrou que este é um falso dilema e que “inverter o sexo na equação não elimina serem as mulheres – não homens – sujeitos à subordinação”. E ainda pontuou que até mesmo feministas liberais falam sobre isso há tempos.

Para alívio dos que acompanhavam a discussão, a jornalista foi educadamente questionada por um colega. O resultado foi uma onda de apoio nas redes com a tag #RespeitaAJanja. A ex-presidente Dilma Rousseff chegou a dizer que a feminista e escritora “Simone de Beauvoir ensinou que o opressor não seria tão forte se não tivesse cúmplices entre os próprios oprimidos”. Ela está certa.

Tempos depois, foi a vez de Dora Kramer, jornalista da Band News, fazer alusões à esposa do novo presidente. Sem absolutamente nada que endosse a preocupação, ela tuitou, “despretensiosamente” às 5h40 da manhã de um feriado: “Já pensaram na hipótese de Lula gestar a ideia de uma candidatura de Janja em 2026? Pois podem começar a pensar”. Pode ser uma preocupação válida daqui a um tempo. Pode. É agora, três semanas após o fim das eleições? Não.

É fato que o jornalismo precisa melhorar, para o bem da democracia. É urgente.

As respostas imediatas de internautas e jornalistas foram de que parentes e cônjuges do presidente não poderiam se candidatar ao cargo de chefe do Executivo, como determinado pelo Tribunal Superior Eleitoral em agosto deste ano.  Mas, na realidade, o TSE mudou sua interpretação no mês seguinte e passou a admitir que cônjuges concorram à sucessão para um segundo mandato.

Contudo, mantendo a lógica da manifestação de Kramer sobre Janja, causa estranheza que a a jornalista tenha postado quatro dias antes: “Vi aqui gente falando que, se reeleito, Bolsonaro põe um filho para disputar a presidência em 2026. Não pode, a lei proíbe a candidatura do parente”. Essas opiniões um pouco dissonantes fizeram com que Kramer fosse bastante questionada nas redes.

Para além dessas “análises políticas”, Janja tem enfrentado ruminações sobre o que veste. A socióloga com MBA em gestão social e sustentabilidade e servidora de carreira de Itaipu deu entrevista ao Fantástico vestindo uma camisa branca e vermelha, feita pelo estilista brasileiro Airon Martin. Alguns veículos destacaram que a blusa é feita de material reciclado, resgata símbolos nacionais e valoriza a matéria-prima brasileira, embora a maioria dos títulos priorize o preço da peça.

Lula só assume o cargo daqui a um mês e meio, mas as picuinhas e cobranças em relação à sua esposa se anteciparam, diante de um estado de coisas ainda frágil, que exige da sociedade, mas em especial dos jornalistas, uma atenção especial à política de fato. Temos ruas tomadas por golpistas, militares agindo fora de seu escopo constitucional, um presidente birrento que, ainda no cargo, não trabalha (essa parte pode não ser tão ruim, confesso).

Obviamente, não sou contra investigar transgressões e questionar o governo petista recém-eleito, ou as gestões passadas do partido. Eu mesma o fiz de forma muito crítica, especialmente em relação à segurança pública, área a que me dedico. Vira e mexe, sou criticada por apontar que políticas petistas nos colocaram dentro de um robusto estado policial – que depois se voltou contra Lula. Também analisei, com meu colega Andrew Fishman, toda a gestão presidencial do PT na segurança e apontei quantas oportunidades de mudanças perdemos. Não tenho ilusões ou paixões. É a política como ela é.

Mas é fato que o jornalismo precisa melhorar, para o bem da democracia. É urgente.
