Texans have a saying for people who talk big but act small: All hat, no cattle. It’s hard to think of someone better fitting that description than Rep. Frederica Wilson, the Florida Democrat with a multitude of colorful hats but no decency.
Sgt. La David T. Johnson died fighting for his country and our freedoms. Sadly, there is nothing anyone can say to his widow, Myeshia Johnson, to take away her pain. Even a president who could movingly express the American people’s sense of loss—think President Ronald Reagan’s speech after the Challenger space shuttle disaster—couldn’t restore family members’ personal loss.
President Donald Trump tried and didn’t succeed with Ms. Johnson. Neither is to blame. She had just received the worst news imaginable. He wasn’t trained for such a difficult task.
But why is Big Hat Wilson involved? She said she was “horrified” by what the president said. Of course, she’s a liberal activist. Anything he said would have horrified her. It’s hardly news when she trashes the president.
In fact, she is an experienced practitioner in the politics of demagoguery. The Rhinestone Cowgirl took advantage of an earlier tragedy—the shooting of Trayvon Martin—to score political points. No one benefited from her attempt to exploit his unfortunate death.
Now, she’s using the same tactic again, only this time taking advantage of the death of American soldiers confronting terrorists in the nation of Niger.
They were there on the sort of mission that has become increasingly common under Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. No one likes putting U.S. military personnel in harm’s way. For a president, there is no tougher decision. And if anything goes wrong, the president is going to be blamed.
But we all know the world is a dangerous place. Better to stop terrorists early than allow them to destroy foreign societies—before moving on to strike America.
Even if the Rhinestone Cowgirl could not avoid hearing the call, it’s outrageous that she make political hay out of it.. She should know better. White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said he was stunned: “I thought that at least that was sacred.”
Like most Americans, he remembers, he said, as “a kid growing up, a lot of things were sacred in our country.” Women, life, religion, as well as Gold Star families. “I just thought the selfless devotion that brings a man or woman to die on the battlefield, I just thought that that might be sacred,” Kelly added.
He knows of what he speaks, having lost a son in Afghanistan.
Kelly first recommended that the president not make those calls, because nothing is more emotionally difficult. But when the president insisted, Kelly suggested that President Trump point out that Sgt. Johnson understood the choice he was making and died doing what he believed in. The president tried to express the message that the sergeant “is a brave man, a fallen hero, who knew what he was getting into because he enlisted, and he was exactly where he wanted to be,” Kelly said. Those sentiments had comforted him in his own time of extreme grief.
But the showboat congresswoman went on the attack against Kelly as well as the president. She made a predictable charge of racism after Gen. Kelly said she was like “empty barrels making the most noise.” Really?
Maybe that tactic works in her Miami district. But it shouldn’t be treated seriously anywhere else. The phrase probably goes back to the Greeks, who talked about “empty vessels.” That sounds a lot like all hat, no cattle to me.
It’s about bad people, not race.
But No Decency Wilson didn’t stop there. She told the ever-gullible New York Times: “The White House itself is full of white supremacists.” Where are they, one wonders? In the closets and under the beds?
The Rhinestone Cowgirl just smeared hundreds of conservative officials, highlighting the bankruptcy of the Left and bias of the media. It’s a cheap cop-out to blame race for every failure, real or perceived. And it makes white people the only vulnerable group.
But we’ve come to expect that from the political Left. It’s what they do.
President Trump maintains troops in Niger, and many other nations, to protect all of us. They do their job admirably, but, as we have seen, at great risk to themselves. To the president’s credit, when tragedy strikes, he seeks to console their families.
Then politicians like All Hat Wilson carp and complain.
Anyone is free to criticize the president. But most of us recognize that some things are sacred. That there are appropriate times and places for political discourse. Why can’t liberals like the Rhinestone Cowgirl do the same?
REAL cowboys have the bull $#!# on the OUTSIDE of their boots.
American Black Folk, best detach themselves from the gutter, low life, Obamabot, “Hate America”Congresswoman, Frederica Wilson. She is, sadly the most rotten of the human species on God’s Earth.
I believe this most evil woman conned this grieving widow when she was most vulnerable and open to being led in a political manner from someone she thought was her friend, ally & mentor. I can assure you folks, Frederica Wilson is no friend, ally or mentor to anyone, but, herself.
The bad news is that the Obama (Hate America), led, Congressional Black Caucus, The NAACP, The entire Democrat Party is fully infected by folks that mirror Ms. Wildon, sadly.
The good news, is that, every day thousands of “American” Blacks abandon these false gods and opt for life, education, safety, opportunity and freedom in what has become a “Mixed Racial & Ethnic Society of the American people. Let’s face reality, the current day Democrat Party has absolutely not one clue of the ever changing dynamic of American fabric and society. They are dying on the vine as a meaningful political party.
In addition the Illegal & Criminal, Obama/Clinton rape and attempted destruction of the American Republic & of this magnificent nation, is coming to light & the sunshine of justice. Stay tuned!!!
Frederica just did a belly-flop in the shallow end of the gene pool. Don’t bother to throw her a life preserver....she’s done for.
Frederica’s gonna be reminiscing about being in Congress as she pumps ketchup at a Florida McDonald’s. Frederica’s gonna look cute in her McD’s hat.....maybe she can add some beaded fringe to the hat?
ITEM—Frederica Paid her IT, spy ring leader, Imran Awan, $138,235 tax dollars
SOURCE: Common Sense Evaluation / FR Posted by gags
The Awan clan collected more than $5M in salaries from oblivious Democrats, (Including $138,235 from Frederica Wilson) often drawing chief-of-staff level pay though there is reason to believe many didn’t even show up. The Paki clan are suspected of cybersecurity violations, espionage, running theft ring out of Congress, and procurement fraud. Imran and his wife are charged w/ bank fraud.
An interactive chart at The Daily Caller web site, shows tax dollars broken down by year, House Democrat, and the amount of tax dollars the Awan spy ring family member got paid. Look forward to an audit of Frederica’s House office budget...that should be a shocker. Imran apparently ran his tech procurement scam using tax funds from Democrats’ House office budgets.

Regrettably, I don’t think Frederica will pay any price at all for her shenanigans.
The ignorant parasites that infest her Congressional district glorify the type of behavior she exhibited as it puts a thumb in the eye of “The Man.”
The political IQ of most Americans is by now a universal joke. Thanks NEA and MSM
To keep it that way and to support and grow the Liberal agenda, the MSM has constantly to dig up ‘personalities’ and concoct ‘issues’ to keep this crowd of happily uninformed children from dropping out of sight altogether.
Over the decades, it’s always been interesting to observe the lengths the MSM will go to, to find and cultivate these ‘personalities’. It’s a real art and they always succeed in holding the public interest for a time.
The MSM begins by making them out to be true ‘salt of the earth’, unsung heroes.
When we finally know all there is to know about them (and we inevitably DO) , they are pretty much just laughable jerks.
However NOW, this is a dangerous game and does tremendous damage…... over and above the usual and by now, institutionalized dummying down of American voters.
Another excellent corruption recap and action list, Liz
With only one suggestion...make that
Frederica Wilson (ROCK STAR DEM-FLA)
;-)
Oh yeah......rock star....I keep forgetting (smirk).
This woman played a significant role in assisting Obama’s successful unchallenged effort in developing the socialist device known as division pitting the races against each other beginning with the Zimmerman trial.
Where she repeatedly issued statements using the inflammatory portrayal of an innocent victim killed in cold blood because the victim was black analogy. Eagerly picked up and distributed by a corrupt perverted media which worked to create tension that expanded into members of black criminal gangs attacking non black passers by found wandering through “hoods” they control. Resulting in deaths or life sustaining injuries.
LOLOL!!
This was a set-up between Wilson and Mrs. Johnson.
Spot on!
Dress as a Congresswoman from Florida for Halloween.

Re the bizarre sequined cowboy hats, in her defense anyone who has been in an African Methodist Episcopal church on Easter Sunday or seen Sanford and Son knows what’s going on here.
What the ladies wear on their heads is like Ascot on race day, but on acid.
She’s still bizarre and those hats are ridiculous. And she’s no lady.
Annie Oakley is a former Elementary School principal. Imagine this zealot teaching your children.
She now represents the Congressional District which boasts Florida’s highest crime rate. I wonder if she ever took off her hat to the families of those slain around her who continue to suffer the edicts of her liberal governance, where black citizens have a 97% chance to be killed by another black.
